Miss Rose Ann Asline* Becomes
Bride at Pretty Home
Wedding.
The little town of Temple, during
the days of the pine forests; "was a
lumbering center, with a number of
saw mills, several large stores, and
was the headquarters for the woodsmen and the river drivers who worked on the Muskegon river drives.
There were at that time, a half score
of saloons, and numerous gambling
and dance halls, but the town is now
a way station on the Ann Arbor railroad, with two small stores and gas
station, and to people who are not
familiar with the four corner hamlets of Michigan, it is a desolate, forlorn looking place, with its half dozen
tar-paper covered or unpainted
-houses, amid the setting of sand,
■scrub oaks, and jack-pines.
However, on Saturday nights' this
town becomes the scene of activities
slmiliar to those enacted 'in the days
>of the saloon and lumbering industry, for a public dance is conducted
in the town hall, the: largest and most
pretentious building in the place.
Every bit of available parking space
is used, to take care of the large
number of automobiles, which bear
the license plates indicating that
visitors from* several counties are
gathered there.
Within the hall is an old time dance
orchestra, playing the old tunes, and
most of the dances are the quadrille,
witka sometimes a Waltz or schot-
tische, but rarely any of the modern
•jazz. As all of the men are smoking, thei*e is a blue haze of smoke
over all, which serves to dim the
light furnished by the large gasoline
lamps which are suspended from the
ceiling.
Just outside the entrance to the
hall are groups of men and 'hoys, who
apparently have partaken of moonshine whiskey or other intoxicants,
and seem anxious to let every one
know it, for the air resounds with
foul language, unfit for even men to
hear, and this is all audible to the
people on the inside. Other* groups
'are iooking in the windows, or are
gathered around .the cars, where it is
quite evident from all appearances,
that liquor is either possessed or
sold. Prom one to several, fights and
brawls take place every Saturday evening. ,
Between dances, it is'said the boys
take their partners to the automobiles, where spooning parties take
place, and often a bottle is thrown
from the window of a car, which is
being occupied by both sexes. On
Sunday mornings, the ground is littered with glass fruit jars and bottles.
Complaints have been made to the
officers by the law abiding citizens
of the community, but every time the
officers have visited' the place, everything has become quiet and orderly,
as though the crowd had been informed of their proposed visit.
Last Saturday evening, several
state officers and deputy sheriffs making preliminary plans with the utmost' secrecy, met at this place during the height of the revelry, but had
just -parked their cars, and were getting organized to surround the hall
and seek to obtain some evidence,
when -a high powered car-being driven at top speed, swung up in front
of the hall and a man shouted: "I
have driven this Car at 55 miles an
jliour to warn you that the officers
are here somewhere."
Immediately, quiet reigned, a number of cars left at once, and in Ave
minutes time, the dance was going on
in regular and decent fashion, and
there was nothing for the officers to
do, but,go home, and await another
opportunity to nab the bootleggers,
Who furnish the liquid refreshment
for these wild parties, which are held
in this little town just off the beaten
trail'
Rev, Samuel Smedley performed
the ceremony Monday evening at
■eight-thirty oVtock which united in
marriage Miss Rose Ann AsUne,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Asline,
and Mr. Johnathan Dolitte, son- of
old man Dolittle.
The bridal party decended the
stairs to the strains of'Mendelssohns
wedding march." The service was
read in the presence of immediate
relatives and friends of the two families. Miss Asline, whose hand was
given in marriage by her glorious old
father, was a lovely bride in her
gown of ivory white made on straight
lines. A small hand of blossops,
orange and otherwise held in place
the long veil of Dutch lace. Her
slippers Were also of ivory white and
her shower boquet a lovely arrangements of carrots and beets.
The groom wore the conventional
black.
Miss Amy Amerstien, her only
attendant, wore a gown of pale green
crepe with a large white lace picture
hat* and carried a huge boquet of
garden vegetables.

Following dinner on Sunday, Mr.
Reger and his three sons went out In

them, and when a rahbit, ran from a
brush pile, Mr. Reger raised the gun
to shoot, but it discharged, prematurely, the charge striking Willis in the
right breast and arm.
, Drs. W. P. Clute and P. C. Sanford
were called and upon examination
found that the shot had penetrated
the lungs causing inward hemmor-
ages which resulted in his death
early Monday "morning.
Willis, son of Mr, and Mrs. Adam
Reger was" horn July 6th, 1916 and de-.
parted, this life October IS, 1926, at
the age of 10 years, three months and

brothers, grandparents and many
other relatives and friends.
His short life was spent in Sheridan township except lor about a

At a late hour the "bridal couple departed for their homes, and are each
continuing the even tenor of their
ways. A divorce is. rumored .by
some of the gossiping guests.
Mrs. Asline -wishes to thank all who
helped to donate the many useful
articles for use in the church basement. X
COUNTY SUPERVISORS HARDATWORK
Excellent Judgement Shown
in Allowing Several Important Appropriations.
The Board of Supervisors, at their
session in Harrison October, allowed several appropriations, the most
important one, being that of twenty-
five hundred dollars, with which to
carry on the tuberculosis test for the
cattle in the county. This matter has
already been cared for by most of!
tne counties in the state, and is an
important one because the health of
our live stock is of the vital interest
to all of' our people.
They also allowed an appropriation
of $350 to the Red Cross, to assist in
the county nursing program, and
gave the Michigan Children's Aid Society, $250 for their work. The membership in the Northeastern Michigan
Development Bureau was continued,
and ?200 was subscribed to this
cause.
The officers of the Clare County
Agricultural Society reported a deficit this year, caused by unfavorable
weather conditions during fair week.
The Board increased the appropriation for next year from $500 to $700.
The members of the Board, having
been made directors of the society
for next year, it is expected that they
will take an active interest in the
plans and promotion of the fair.
The committee on county officers
salaries, recommended that all salaries remain the same as last year,
except the' office of Drain Commissioner which was reduced §150.00
per year, and the Prosecuting Attorney's office was recommended for
a $200 increase. The report of the
committee was adopted by unanimous vote by the Board.
Elmer Amble and Bryan Panning,
of Harrison, and L. R. Shear of Par-
well, were named as the County
Board of Election Canvassers, and
Bruce Williams was elected as a
member of the Board of .School Examiners.
It was a close contest for Poor
Commissioner, between Thomas
Dwyer and P. A. Carncross, and
Dwyer won by one vote,
all.
The funeral which was held at the
Eagle -church was conducted by Rev.
Frank Bates who was assisted by
Rev. S. Guest and burial made In
Cherry Grove.
Those from a distance were Mr.
and Mrs. August Nass and daughter,
of Ashley; Mr. and Mrs. d'hris Reger,
of Lake Odessa.; Mr. and Mrs. Allen
Kenney, of Ray City; Mr. and Mrs.
Jos. Pudvay, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Wilson, of Flint.
A large crowd came to pay their
last respect to little Willis and
to sympathize with the stricken family. The school children with their
teacher came in a body. The pallbearers were Orville Bates, Leonard
Cotton, Gerald Hemstreet and Leon
Dysingeiy all school mates of little
Willis.
,Mr. and Mrs.. I. j_. Hampton returned "Tuesday from a month's visit with
their son, Prank, who lives in Aurora,
a suburb of Denver, Col. They made
the trip by train going by way of the
Sante Fe, and. returning by the Northwestern route.
The weather was delightful all of
the time, with the sun shining brightly, and with only one shower of rain
during the entire month., The temperature last Sunday was 80 in the
shade. *
Mr. Hampton reports that there is
excellent farming land to the .north
of Denver, and that they have bumper crops this season. This land is
all under artificial irrigation,' the
water being brought from the reservoirs in the mountains. The principal crop Is sugar beets, wheat and
alfalfa and .this year the beets are
going 30 tons to the acre. Mr. Hampton saw a field of wheat near Denver
that had 'averaged 50 bushels to the
acre. One farmer* near Denver has
500 acres of beets this year. The
Mexican labor is used to care for
this crop, and nearly every little
town in the vicinity has its sugar
factory.
During their stay Mr. and Mrs
Hampton, visited many places of interest, traveling more than two thousand miles in Frank's c?,r. While the
roads near the city, and on the plains
are built of concrete, the mountain
roads are built of a very fine grade
of gravel, which is found in abundance on the mountan side. This J
makes a very hard smooth road, that
is preferable to concrete for the
mountains.
'They visited Mt. Evans, which is
14,000 feet above sea level and while
standing on this mountain, Mr.
Hampton noticed a level plain, which
apparently was not far distant. He
mentioned to Prank that there was
some land, which seemed suitable for
farming. Prank replied: "The plains
you see, are those beyond Denver,

FIRSTJEETING
Gathering at Mt. Vernon
Grange Hall Last. Week
Thursday Evening
Well Attended.
The heavy and seasoned Reed City
team, was blocked and stopped,. by
the lighter *Clare. boys, who played
magnificently, and fought like
demons, in the game at Reed City,
last Friday, and although the final
official score was thirteen to nothing
in Reed City's favor, 'that does not
give a true story of the game, as
Clare outplayed their opponents, and
kept the ball in Reed City's territory
for three fourths of the game, but
all of the breaks of the game, were
against Clare?'
Clare was dangerously close to the!
Reed City goal several times during:
the game, and carried the ball across
the line for a touchdown in the third
quarter, but it was not allowed by
the umpire, as he claimed that Clare
did not have the required'number of
men on the line of scrimmage.
The players accepted this decision
graciously, as they are expected to
do at all times, but it was not so with
the Qlare fans, who had witnessed a
nice clean play over the Reed City
goal line, and could not become
reconciled' to a decision b,y the umpire, which took the count away from
them. A great many people who
watch football games do not understand all of the rules, but it is the
"general impression by the fans, that
an umpire is to have jurisdiction over
the team who is on the defensive,
rather than the offensive, and this
official's decision caused dissatisfaction.
Reed City got their first touchdown,
when one of the Clare players misjudged a punt, and Reed City gained
the ball, and then completed a forward pass, but failed to make the additional point.
The second touchdown was made
by a completed pass which followed
an end run, and was a clever play, as
the end stayed far out after this run,
and the Clarei team was taken completely off their guard.
It was an interesting and exciting
game to watch, and many who have
followed the Clare team at every
game during the past two years, say
that it was the best exhibition of real
football ever given by a Clare, team.
On Friday of this week, the boys
play Gladwin here, and a good crowd
would not only help the team financially, but will give them moral support.
With the brand of football that the
Clare team is playing, they should
have several hundreds of people at
[the field to watch this game.
Dorsey Mussell, Thomas Horton,
Byron Gallagher, Gerald Nivison, ahd
Donald McKinnon, were the Clare
Boy Scouts, who .won ribbons for satisfactory, work done at Camp Rotary
last summer, and these boys in com- j
pany with their Scoutmaster, Earl;
Sternaman, attended the meeting of
the Saginaw organization last Friday evening, when the awards for
that camp were presented.
It was an honor,to these boys, and
the'Troop of which they are members, and the opportunity, given them
to attend this meeting wiil be of-
great inspiration to the scout work
here. The boys are grateful to Fred
Morgan, who donated his automobile
for the trip, ahd to A. H. Horton who
gave five dollars toward their expense?.
Dorsey Mussell is the first member
of Clare Troop number 2, to pass the
twenty-five tests required to become
a First Class Scout, and is now wearing the'First Class Scout Badge. This
is an honor of which any Sdout has
just cause to be proud. -

The general store of Charles Keith
at Elm Grove Corners, was destroyed
by fire of undetermined origin, on
Thursday of last week. The riTral

was beyond control, and the building
was almost destroyed.' The Boys
made the run a" distance of over nine
miles in 19 minutes, but there was
nothing for them to do when they arrived.
The loss on the building .amtl contents was estimated at somewhere
around §3,300, which was fully covered by insurance.
OCTOBER WEDDING
MARBLE-CURTIS
Social Curtis, of Coleman and Miss
Dorothy . Marble, of Wise township,
were United in marriage, Tuesday
evening, October 19th by Rev. E. T.
Smith at the Methodist parsonage at
Clare, the rihg service being used.
The father and mother of the bride
witnessed the ceremony. The young
couple will make their home on a
farm near Coleman.
Ninety-four men from Clare, and
the Vernon Grange Hall community,
ate supper at the hall, last Thursday
evening, when the businessmen of
Clare entertained the men of that
community.
It was a chicken supper and everything goes with that kind of a supper, prepared by the excellent cooks
of that community, and served by
their pretty girls.
The community singing was led by
Norris Elden of Clare, with Leslie
Osborne at the • piano*. H. B.
Johnson, as chairman of the committee on arrangements, announced
the program which consisted of impromptu talks from a number of the
men present from Clare and the Vernon community. Although they had
not been given previous notice they
were equal to the occasion, and it
was a time of real enjoyment and fellowship.
It was the general comment of all
who were present that gatherings of
this" kind will do much to bring about
a better acquaintance and understanding, and make us all to realize
that the city of Clare and the communities surrounding it are all just
one great big community, whose interests are in common.
The next meeting will be held in
the basement of the St. Henry's
church in Vernon township next
Thursday evening.

GRANT RESIDENT
DIES OF APOPLEXY
Funeral of Mrs. Dan Courtney
Held Saturday From St.
Cecelia Qhurch.
Following several months of illness Mrs. Dan Courtney, of Grant
township, passed from this life at her
home Thursday, October 14th, she
having suffered the third stroke., of
apoplexy, at tlie age of 65 years, 3
months and 14 days.
The funeral was held from the St.
Cecelia church Saturday morning
Rev. Pr. Flanagan, officiating and the
remains laid to rest in the church
cemetery. ■*
At this season of the year when
chill weather results in stoking up
long idle furnaces, a few precautions
are desirable to guard against fire,
Chief Wellman of the fire department
pointed out recently.
"I want to remind all house owners," he said, "to clean out their
chimneys. After furnaces have been j
operated "all winter, flues and chimneys are sure to be filled with soot.
When furnace fires are lit—as they
soon will be—trouble is bound to
start if the pipes and the chimney itself are not clean as a whistle. So
have them cleaned professionally, or
else do the job yourselves. Lower a
rag-wrapped brick attached to a rope
down the chimney" and take down
Hon W. W, Potter, of Hastings, a
member of the Public. Utilities Commission, and the Republican candidate for Attorney General at the November election, addressed an enthusiastic gathering of republicans,
and friends at the Doherty Auditorium last Monday evening.
The Farwell high school orchestra,
under the leadership of Mrs. Madge
Lamb, was present and delighted the
audience with'several selections.'
Prosecuting Attorney T. Carl Holbrook, of Clare, presided, and in his
introductory' remarks, expressed his
appreciation of the co-operation of
the county candidates, and members
of the county committee, and urged
them to continue to be active in keeping up the' interest of all the people,
in order that a good vote might be
polled in Clare county on November
2nd, *v ■ "
Mr. Potter in his address, reviewed
some of the achievements of the Republican party during the -past few v
years, and the prosperity which has
prevailed.
He expressed the hope that all
members of the party would forget
any unpleasantness or .personalities*
that had arisen during the primary
campaign, and stand by all of the
candidates that had been nominated*
In refering to the Democratic platform, he said: "Practically every
thing that the Democrats are asking
for in the way of legislation, has already been written into the statutes
of Michigan," . t
The gist of his address, was the Importance of getting out the vote, and.
the ways and means of accomplishing this. He advocated organization
in every township and' careful attention given to the absent voters. He.
suggested that every school superintendent and school teacher should
not only urge the children to vote as
soon as they are of age, butx they
should be taught to keep the matter
before their parents, and urge them
to vote at every election.
"He spoke of the Importance o£
Women's organizations, and the good
work they have been doing in the
state to keep up' the interest in clean
politics.
Mr. Potter said: "If w«, in America,
are going to keep a representative
form of government, we must insist
that every qualified elector, votes al-,
every election."

your smoke pipes and clean them out.
Here's one cause of fires that certainly can be prevented.
Commenting upon fire prevention
in general, Chief Wellman promulgated the following "ten commandments"
of firs prevention.
Watch disposal, of, matches and*!
lighted smoking materials; they are ;
responsible for a heavier annual loss
than any other known cause. Always ■
keep niatches t>ut of reach of small
children.
Use proper fuses in electrical
circuits; the fuse is the safety valve
of the system and should notbe tampered with.
Turn off electric flat irons and
other electric devices if you have to
leave them for even a moment.
Gasoline and other volatile liquids
make dangerous cleaning fluids; use
the safe compounds on the market,
including carbon tetrachloride, which
is obtainable at any drug store.
Defective chimneys and flues caused nearly $23,000,000 destruction last
year; keep them clean and in repair.
A gas leak should be hunted with
a flashlight, not with an open flame
light; to the 'suspected' part of the
pipe apply soap suds which, in bubbling, will reveal the leak.
Walls, ceilings and partitions
should be shielded from the overheating of stoves, furnaces and connecting pipes.
Hot ashes belong in metal containers, not in wooden boxes and barrels.
Oil lamps or stoves are safely filled
only by day-light.
Open fires always should be screened when left unattended.

No. 52 TATE AND COUNTY OFFICERS VISIT TEMPLE SATURDAY Flans Caret-iily- Laid to Arrest Bootleggers are Suddenly Upset by''Informer''Driving High- powered'Car. ASUNE-DOUTTIE NUPTIALS CELEBRATED 'C Miss Rose Ann Asline* Becomes Bride at Pretty Home Wedding. The little town of Temple, during the days of the pine forests; "was a lumbering center, with a number of saw mills, several large stores, and was the headquarters for the woodsmen and the river drivers who worked on the Muskegon river drives. There were at that time, a half score of saloons, and numerous gambling and dance halls, but the town is now a way station on the Ann Arbor railroad, with two small stores and gas station, and to people who are not familiar with the four corner hamlets of Michigan, it is a desolate, forlorn looking place, with its half dozen tar-paper covered or unpainted -houses, amid the setting of sand, ■scrub oaks, and jack-pines. However, on Saturday nights' this town becomes the scene of activities slmiliar to those enacted 'in the days >of the saloon and lumbering industry, for a public dance is conducted in the town hall, the: largest and most pretentious building in the place. Every bit of available parking space is used, to take care of the large number of automobiles, which bear the license plates indicating that visitors from* several counties are gathered there. Within the hall is an old time dance orchestra, playing the old tunes, and most of the dances are the quadrille, witka sometimes a Waltz or schot- tische, but rarely any of the modern •jazz. As all of the men are smoking, thei*e is a blue haze of smoke over all, which serves to dim the light furnished by the large gasoline lamps which are suspended from the ceiling. Just outside the entrance to the hall are groups of men and 'hoys, who apparently have partaken of moonshine whiskey or other intoxicants, and seem anxious to let every one know it, for the air resounds with foul language, unfit for even men to hear, and this is all audible to the people on the inside. Other* groups 'are iooking in the windows, or are gathered around .the cars, where it is quite evident from all appearances, that liquor is either possessed or sold. Prom one to several, fights and brawls take place every Saturday evening. , Between dances, it is'said the boys take their partners to the automobiles, where spooning parties take place, and often a bottle is thrown from the window of a car, which is being occupied by both sexes. On Sunday mornings, the ground is littered with glass fruit jars and bottles. Complaints have been made to the officers by the law abiding citizens of the community, but every time the officers have visited' the place, everything has become quiet and orderly, as though the crowd had been informed of their proposed visit. Last Saturday evening, several state officers and deputy sheriffs making preliminary plans with the utmost' secrecy, met at this place during the height of the revelry, but had just -parked their cars, and were getting organized to surround the hall and seek to obtain some evidence, when -a high powered car-being driven at top speed, swung up in front of the hall and a man shouted: "I have driven this Car at 55 miles an jliour to warn you that the officers are here somewhere." Immediately, quiet reigned, a number of cars left at once, and in Ave minutes time, the dance was going on in regular and decent fashion, and there was nothing for the officers to do, but,go home, and await another opportunity to nab the bootleggers, Who furnish the liquid refreshment for these wild parties, which are held in this little town just off the beaten trail' Rev, Samuel Smedley performed the ceremony Monday evening at ■eight-thirty oVtock which united in marriage Miss Rose Ann AsUne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Asline, and Mr. Johnathan Dolitte, son- of old man Dolittle. The bridal party decended the stairs to the strains of'Mendelssohns wedding march." The service was read in the presence of immediate relatives and friends of the two families. Miss Asline, whose hand was given in marriage by her glorious old father, was a lovely bride in her gown of ivory white made on straight lines. A small hand of blossops, orange and otherwise held in place the long veil of Dutch lace. Her slippers Were also of ivory white and her shower boquet a lovely arrangements of carrots and beets. The groom wore the conventional black. Miss Amy Amerstien, her only attendant, wore a gown of pale green crepe with a large white lace picture hat* and carried a huge boquet of garden vegetables. Little Miss Marjorie Parish, wear- BOY ACCIDENTLY SH0T,_MI8. LATER Funeral of Ten Year Old Son of Mr. and Mrs, Adam Reger Held Tuesday. THE HAMPTONS RETURN.

W. P. Clute and P. C. Sanford were called and upon examination found that the shot had penetrated the lungs causing inward hemmor- ages which resulted in his death early Monday "morning. Willis, son of Mr, and Mrs. Adam Reger was" horn July 6th, 1916 and de-. parted, this life October IS, 1926, at the age of 10 years, three months and twelve days. He leaves to mourn their loss a father, mother, four sisters and four brothers, grandparents and many other relatives and friends. His short life was spent in Sheridan township except lor about a jyear the family lived at Cloverdale, Mich. His pleasant happy disposition has endeared him. to all who ing a frock of pale yellow organdie and strewing pink and yellow rose petals from a small basket, acted as tiower girl. Mrs. Asline was gowned in a handsome draped costume of wine colored velvet held in place by beautiful ornaments of rhinestones and black, jets. Miss Abigal Jones was exquisite in ^eVThn especially his brothers, her gown of corn-colored satin a»d sisterS) scll00l mates _nd young a_. sociates. His happy smile and cherry greeting will long be remembered by old lace, in the capacity of Mistress j of ceremonies. The groom's only attendant was his* cousin, Mr. Tommy Racer At a late hour the "bridal couple departed for their homes, and are each continuing the even tenor of their ways. A divorce is. rumored .by some of the gossiping guests. Mrs. Asline -wishes to thank all who helped to donate the many useful articles for use in the church basement. X COUNTY SUPERVISORS HARDATWORK Excellent Judgement Shown in Allowing Several Important Appropriations. The Board of Supervisors, at their session in Harrison October, allowed several appropriations, the most important one, being that of twenty- five hundred dollars, with which to carry on the tuberculosis test for the cattle in the county. This matter has already been cared for by most of! tne counties in the state, and is an important one because the health of our live stock is of the vital interest to all of' our people. They also allowed an appropriation of $350 to the Red Cross, to assist in the county nursing program, and gave the Michigan Children's Aid Society, $250 for their work. The membership in the Northeastern Michigan Development Bureau was continued, and ?200 was subscribed to this cause. The officers of the Clare County Agricultural Society reported a deficit this year, caused by unfavorable weather conditions during fair week. The Board increased the appropriation for next year from $500 to $700. The members of the Board, having been made directors of the society for next year, it is expected that they will take an active interest in the plans and promotion of the fair. The committee on county officers salaries, recommended that all salaries remain the same as last year, except the' office of Drain Commissioner which was reduced §150.00 per year, and the Prosecuting Attorney's office was recommended for a $200 increase. The report of the committee was adopted by unanimous vote by the Board. Elmer Amble and Bryan Panning, of Harrison, and L. R. Shear of Par- well, were named as the County Board of Election Canvassers, and Bruce Williams was elected as a member of the Board of .School Examiners. It was a close contest for Poor Commissioner, between Thomas Dwyer and P. A. Carncross, and Dwyer won by one vote, all. The funeral which was held at the Eagle -church was conducted by Rev. Frank Bates who was assisted by Rev. S. Guest and burial made In Cherry Grove. Those from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. August Nass and daughter, of Ashley; Mr. and Mrs. d'hris Reger, of Lake Odessa.; Mr. and Mrs. Allen Kenney, of Ray City; Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Pudvay, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Wilson, of Flint. A large crowd came to pay their last respect to little Willis and to sympathize with the stricken family. The school children with their teacher came in a body. The pallbearers were Orville Bates, Leonard Cotton, Gerald Hemstreet and Leon Dysingeiy all school mates of little Willis. ,Mr. and Mrs.. I. j_. Hampton returned "Tuesday from a month's visit with their son, Prank, who lives in Aurora, a suburb of Denver, Col. They made the trip by train going by way of the Sante Fe, and. returning by the Northwestern route. The weather was delightful all of the time, with the sun shining brightly, and with only one shower of rain during the entire month., The temperature last Sunday was 80 in the shade. * Mr. Hampton reports that there is excellent farming land to the .north of Denver, and that they have bumper crops this season. This land is all under artificial irrigation,' the water being brought from the reservoirs in the mountains. The principal crop Is sugar beets, wheat and alfalfa and .this year the beets are going 30 tons to the acre. Mr. Hampton saw a field of wheat near Denver that had 'averaged 50 bushels to the acre. One farmer* near Denver has 500 acres of beets this year. The Mexican labor is used to care for this crop, and nearly every little town in the vicinity has its sugar factory. During their stay Mr. and Mrs Hampton, visited many places of interest, traveling more than two thousand miles in Frank's c?,r. While the roads near the city, and on the plains are built of concrete, the mountain roads are built of a very fine grade of gravel, which is found in abundance on the mountan side. This J makes a very hard smooth road, that is preferable to concrete for the mountains. 'They visited Mt. Evans, which is 14,000 feet above sea level and while standing on this mountain, Mr. Hampton noticed a level plain, which apparently was not far distant. He mentioned to Prank that there was some land, which seemed suitable for farming. Prank replied: "The plains you see, are those beyond Denver, -.Continued on Last Page) CLARE TEAM PLAYS REAUOOT BALL Gladwin Here Today When Support From Bleachers is Urged.

Vernon Grange Hall Last. Week Thursday Evening Well Attended. The heavy and seasoned Reed City team, was blocked and stopped,. by the lighter *Clare. boys, who played magnificently, and fought like demons, in the game at Reed City, last Friday, and although the final official score was thirteen to nothing in Reed City's favor, 'that does not give a true story of the game, as Clare outplayed their opponents, and kept the ball in Reed City's territory for three fourths of the game, but all of the breaks of the game, were against Clare?' Clare was dangerously close to the! Reed City goal several times during: the game, and carried the ball across the line for a touchdown in the third quarter, but it was not allowed by the umpire, as he claimed that Clare did not have the required'number of men on the line of scrimmage. The players accepted this decision graciously, as they are expected to do at all times, but it was not so with the Qlare fans, who had witnessed a nice clean play over the Reed City goal line, and could not become reconciled' to a decision b,y the umpire, which took the count away from them. A great many people who watch football games do not understand all of the rules, but it is the "general impression by the fans, that an umpire is to have jurisdiction over the team who is on the defensive, rather than the offensive, and this official's decision caused dissatisfaction. Reed City got their first touchdown, when one of the Clare players misjudged a punt, and Reed City gained the ball, and then completed a forward pass, but failed to make the additional point. The second touchdown was made by a completed pass which followed an end run, and was a clever play, as the end stayed far out after this run, and the Clarei team was taken completely off their guard. It was an interesting and exciting game to watch, and many who have followed the Clare team at every game during the past two years, say that it was the best exhibition of real football ever given by a Clare, team. On Friday of this week, the boys play Gladwin here, and a good crowd would not only help the team financially, but will give them moral support. With the brand of football that the Clare team is playing, they should have several hundreds of people at [the field to watch this game. Dorsey Mussell, Thomas Horton, Byron Gallagher, Gerald Nivison, ahd Donald McKinnon, were the Clare Boy Scouts, who .won ribbons for satisfactory, work done at Camp Rotary last summer, and these boys in com- j pany with their Scoutmaster, Earl; Sternaman, attended the meeting of the Saginaw organization last Friday evening, when the awards for that camp were presented. It was an honor,to these boys, and the'Troop of which they are members, and the opportunity, given them to attend this meeting wiil be of- great inspiration to the scout work here. The boys are grateful to Fred Morgan, who donated his automobile for the trip, ahd to A. H. Horton who gave five dollars toward their expense?. Dorsey Mussell is the first member of Clare Troop number 2, to pass the twenty-five tests required to become a First Class Scout, and is now wearing the'First Class Scout Badge. This is an honor of which any Sdout has just cause to be proud. - REPUBLICAN RALLY LARGELYATTENDED Hon. W. W. Potter, in Addressing Gathering Laid Great Stress on Getting Out to.

The general store of Charles Keith at Elm Grove Corners, was destroyed by fire of undetermined origin, on Thursday of last week. The riTral fire truck was called when tthe fire was beyond control, and the building was almost destroyed.' The Boys made the run a" distance of over nine miles in 19 minutes, but there was nothing for them to do when they arrived. The loss on the building .amtl contents was estimated at somewhere around §3,300, which was fully covered by insurance. OCTOBER WEDDING MARBLE-CURTIS Social Curtis, of Coleman and Miss Dorothy . Marble, of Wise township, were United in marriage, Tuesday evening, October 19th by Rev. E. T. Smith at the Methodist parsonage at Clare, the rihg service being used. The father and mother of the bride witnessed the ceremony. The young couple will make their home on a farm near Coleman. Ninety-four men from Clare, and the Vernon Grange Hall community, ate supper at the hall, last Thursday evening, when the businessmen of Clare entertained the men of that community. It was a chicken supper and everything goes with that kind of a supper, prepared by the excellent cooks of that community, and served by their pretty girls. The community singing was led by Norris Elden of Clare, with Leslie Osborne at the • piano*. H. B. Johnson, as chairman of the committee on arrangements, announced the program which consisted of impromptu talks from a number of the men present from Clare and the Vernon community. Although they had not been given previous notice they were equal to the occasion, and it was a time of real enjoyment and fellowship. It was the general comment of all who were present that gatherings of this" kind will do much to bring about a better acquaintance and understanding, and make us all to realize that the city of Clare and the communities surrounding it are all just one great big community, whose interests are in common. The next meeting will be held in the basement of the St. Henry's church in Vernon township next Thursday evening. ROTH-SHARP Last Saturday, October 16th Russell E. Sharp, of Franklin township, Clare county, and Miss Helen 0, Roth, of Harrison, Mich,, Were united Jn marriage at the*M, E. parsonage, Rev, E, T, Smith performing .the ceremony.

Following several months of illness Mrs. Dan Courtney, of Grant township, passed from this life at her home Thursday, October 14th, she having suffered the third stroke., of apoplexy, at tlie age of 65 years, 3 months and 14 days. The funeral was held from the St. Cecelia church Saturday morning Rev. Pr. Flanagan, officiating and the remains laid to rest in the church cemetery. ■* At this season of the year when chill weather results in stoking up long idle furnaces, a few precautions are desirable to guard against fire, Chief Wellman of the fire department pointed out recently. "I want to remind all house owners" he said, "to clean out their chimneys. After furnaces have been j operated "all winter, flues and chimneys are sure to be filled with soot. When furnace fires are lit—as they soon will be—trouble is bound to start if the pipes and the chimney itself are not clean as a whistle. So have them cleaned professionally, or else do the job yourselves. Lower a rag-wrapped brick attached to a rope down the chimney" and take down Hon W. W, Potter, of Hastings, a member of the Public. Utilities Commission, and the Republican candidate for Attorney General at the November election, addressed an enthusiastic gathering of republicans, and friends at the Doherty Auditorium last Monday evening. The Farwell high school orchestra, under the leadership of Mrs. Madge Lamb, was present and delighted the audience with'several selections.' Prosecuting Attorney T. Carl Holbrook, of Clare, presided, and in his introductory' remarks, expressed his appreciation of the co-operation of the county candidates, and members of the county committee, and urged them to continue to be active in keeping up the' interest of all the people, in order that a good vote might be polled in Clare county on November 2nd, *v ■ " Mr. Potter in his address, reviewed some of the achievements of the Republican party during the -past few v years, and the prosperity which has prevailed. He expressed the hope that all members of the party would forget any unpleasantness or .personalities* that had arisen during the primary campaign, and stand by all of the candidates that had been nominated* In refering to the Democratic platform, he said: "Practically every thing that the Democrats are asking for in the way of legislation, has already been written into the statutes of Michigan" . t The gist of his address, was the Importance of getting out the vote, and. the ways and means of accomplishing this. He advocated organization in every township and' careful attention given to the absent voters. He. suggested that every school superintendent and school teacher should not only urge the children to vote as soon as they are of age, butx they should be taught to keep the matter before their parents, and urge them to vote at every election. "He spoke of the Importance o£ Women's organizations, and the good work they have been doing in the state to keep up' the interest in clean politics. Mr. Potter said: "If w«, in America, are going to keep a representative form of government, we must insist that every qualified elector, votes al-, every election." CLARE HIGH ENTERS DEBATING FIRD Clare has entered the State High School Debating League. Keen interest has been shown by the students.

Commenting upon fire prevention in general, Chief Wellman promulgated the following "ten commandments" of firs prevention. Watch disposal, of, matches and*! lighted smoking materials; they are ; responsible for a heavier annual loss than any other known cause. Always ■ keep niatches t>ut of reach of small children. Use proper fuses in electrical circuits; the fuse is the safety valve of the system and should notbe tampered with. Turn off electric flat irons and other electric devices if you have to leave them for even a moment. Gasoline and other volatile liquids make dangerous cleaning fluids; use the safe compounds on the market, including carbon tetrachloride, which is obtainable at any drug store. Defective chimneys and flues caused nearly $23,000,000 destruction last year; keep them clean and in repair. A gas leak should be hunted with a flashlight, not with an open flame light; to the 'suspected' part of the pipe apply soap suds which, in bubbling, will reveal the leak. Walls, ceilings and partitions should be shielded from the overheating of stoves, furnaces and connecting pipes. Hot ashes belong in metal containers, not in wooden boxes and barrels. Oil lamps or stoves are safely filled only by day-light. Open fires always should be screened when left unattended. YOUNG FOLKS NOTICE!
