LADN^DRIVE

Raising Local Red Cross
•■■.■■ Nurse Fund.
Wednesday evening members of the
local Red, Cross committee met at the
home of Mrs. John Nelson and completed arrangements tor the drive
which opens Armistice day, Mrs. F,
G. Sanford was present as a representative from the Good Literature
UlUb, and Mrs, E. A, Anderson will
represent the Clare Study Club in
the work.
Mrs, Anderson will assist Mrs,
Ruth Hachmuth in soliciting and the
city and rural schools in the four
southeast townships of the county.
Banners will be offered the school
making ' the largest appropriation to
this fund. One will also be offered
to the room in the high school having
the largest donation,
Mrs. Hachmuth will have charge'of
a stand on the street on Saturday
evening, November 13th, and members of her eighth grade class will
assist in the sale of hot sandwiches.
In the evening hot coffee will also be
served, and a liberal patronage of the
public is invited.
A committee of women will be assigned to the different streets and a
house to house canvas will,be made
for donations toward the public health
nurse fund or Red Cross membership
fund and tne public are urged" to be
ready to help when they call. All
uonations will stay in the county for
the public health" nurse fund, and one
half of the membership fund will also remain in the county.
This is the first drive put on in the
county by the ladies and We feel that
the American Red Cross having assisted in the recent disaster in Florida to the extent of five millions of
dollars and In the Cuban disaster one-
hundred thousand dollars, would
come to our rescue in the same manner if Clare county nfet with such a
fate.
'The Clare Hardware and Implement Co. have donated their large
window for a Red Cross display during the drive, while other local citizens are busy helping to make the
efforts a success.
Mrs. A. E. Mulder, acting county
chairman, and committees are'**work-
ing faithfully to leave nothing undone
and hope to receive a hearty cooperation from the public.
Wear a Red Cross pin or a red ribbon with a button attached on Armistice day. Any member of the committee will receive your membership
or donation to the county nurse fund.
Work in Farwell is progressing under the leadership \of Supt. L. C.
Barner, who will open the drive there
on Armistice day. While Harrison
and adjoining townships are being
solicited by Mrs. A. S, Crigier and
helpers.

Different Committees Have
Plans Well  Laid  for a
Splendid Evening's
Entertainment.
The Father and Son Banquet idea
has been gaining in favor to such an
extent in the past few years that

Clare has had several father and
son banquets and the one served at
the high school gymnasium three,
years ago was largely attended, but'

the general banquet arrangements,
states that his committee have all of
the plans under Way. Dr. Mulder and

DEATH CLAIMS
MRS. KA ROOT
Funeral Held From Mann Siding School in Which Community She Spent Most
of Life.
Death entered the home of Ira
Root, of Mann Siding, Thursday
morning, October 28, at 7:30 o'clock
and claimed a beloved wife .and mother at the age of 35 years, 8 months
and 17 days.
Edith Green was born in Danby,
Ionia county, February 11, 1891, and
came to Mann Siding with her Foster
parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Green,
when but eight years old and has
continuously made her home there.
She was united in marrige to Ira
Root April 7th, 1910. To this union
two daughters were born, Arlene, 1,5,
and Bernice aged 10 years, who are
left to mourn their loss, together with
her husband and foster mother, who
has been a wonderful mother to her
since .babyhood.
Mrs. Root has been a patient sufferer for a number -. of years, altho
with her congenial manner and activities has been able to hide her sufferings from her dearest friends un-
tu February of last year ^hen she
was taken to Bay City where a serious operation ■ was performed. This
bringing no relief she was taken to
Ann Arbor on August 25. A consultation was held*by specialists who
pronounced her case as cancer of the
stomach and could offer no hopes for
her recovery. This knowledge however failed to darken her sunny disposition which "continued on to the
very last. Her life was an example
of kindness to others, always ready
with a helping hand to any one who
was in sorrow or need. She was a
home-loving and affectionate wife, a
tender indulgent mother and an obedient daughter.
. A host of friends and relatives
mourn the loss of one who will be
greatly missed. Beautiful- floral offerings express the sympathy of
friends and neighbors who also have
done everything in their power to
help make her suffering less and
brighten her last hours.
Funeral services were .held Saturday at 1:30 at the Mann Siding
school house and interment in Maple
Grove. Rev. Burton officiating. X

SECOND BUSINESSMEN'S SUPPER
WELLATTENDED
Ladies of St.  Henry's  Parish Serve Splendid Supper
Last Week Thursday Evening.
One hundred and seven men ate
supper ac the St. Henry's church,
south of Clare, last Thursday night,
when the business men of this city
entertained the men of our* neighboring community.
And such a feed as the ladies of
that parish did provide. Every plate
had all the chicken which any man
should eat at one sitting when the
plates were first placed in front of
them, but there were great platters
of delicious fried chicken passed until all cried: "It is enough, we can
eat no more." And then came pies
and cakes, until even Mr. —, but
perhaps his name should not be
mentioned, decided that these ladies
had provided more food than the one
hundred and seven men could consume, and the program began.
No speeches are allowed at any of
these gatherings, the object being to
have a good social time together in
an informal manner. Supt. W. Roger
Zinn was introduced and told a very
amusing but unauthentic story, but
the few romarks he made Were appreciated by all, and every man present felt that they had become well
acquainted with our new superintendent at this gathering.
James McConnell, John West and
Pat Battles also gave short talks.
Supper was served at the Coionville church last night, and next
week the Clare men expect to visit
Rosebush.

ESTEEMED CITIZEN
OFWYDIES
Henry H. Bogue, of Harrison, Departs This Life
Following Long Illness
Although he had been seriously ill
and gradually declining in, health for
the past several months, the news of
the death of Henry H. Bogue, which
occurred at his home at Harrison Saturday, October "30th, came as a shock
to his many friends throughout the
county,    * > *
Henry Harrison Bogue was born in
Erie county, Pennsylvania, March 7th,
1840,' the son of Elijah and Rhoda
Bogue. He was the third in a family
of seven sons and one daughter, On
August 16, 1862, he enlisted with Co.
I. 142nd Penna. Volunteers. At the
battle of Gettsburg- on July 1, 1863,
he was taken prisoner and for three
months was compelled to endure the
hardships and privations incident to
incarceration in Belle Isle and Libby
prisons., His entire period of service
was two years and six months.
Following discharge he returned' to
his home in Edinbore, Pennsylvania,
and on January 2, 1866, at Harris?
burg, was united in marriage with
Mary A., daughter bf Mr. and Mrs.
George Rabor. They resided in Edinbore until establishing their home in
Harrison.
The home life of Mr . and Mrs.
Bogue was . simple and extremely
happy. Greatly devoted to each other
they had found unalloyed happiness
in the intimate association which has
extended over a period of time seldom
experienced by husband and wife. No
children were born to them but at
the age of six years their niece, Minnie, whose mother had been taken by
death, was formally adopted and
brought added comfort and joy to
this happy home. She is now Mrs. A.
R. Canfield, of Detroit.
Had he been spared until January
2nd, next Mr. and Mrs. Bogue would
"save reached their sixty-first milestone fn the span of their married
life. For forty-two years of the
three score they have occupied their
modest home at the county seat,
which was built by the hand of its
owner in 1884. ' It was at this period
that Mr. Bogue was invested by the
electors of the county seat with
judicial ermine. As justice of the
peace for twelve years he dealt kindly but sternly to all brought into his
court. Concluding his career upon
the bench Mr, Bogue served as supervisor of his ward for several terms,
and with the co-operation of his de-
Voted wife, was the pioneer in the
establishment of Harrison's first
church society, the Methodist Episcopal, and for many years was the
recognized leader in the Protestant
religion activities of the community.
He was one of but three remaining
members of a once flourishing G. A.
R. post of that city, Messrs. Hiram
W. Hughes and Charles W. Scott
being the other two.
The funeral was held Monday at
1:30 p. m., Rev. A. F. Light officiating and Hiram W. Hughes reading
the ritualistic services of the G. A. R.
Post at the grave.

the state chaplin of the American
Legion, will deliver the address at

repute, and is in great demand for
occasions of this nature.
The Junior high school chorus, under the direction of Miss Thelma
Cline, teacher of music, are* to sing.
The local Legion post extend an
invitation to the citizens of Clare and
vicinity to attend, believing that it is
the patriotic duty of all our people,
to lay aside'their work on this day
and properly celebrate the ending of
hostilities in the great World War.

CONGREGATIONAL YOUNG
PEOPLE ORGANIZE
Plans Well Laia for Winter Program of Christian Endeavor So'ciety.
Sixty young people 6f the Congregational church met in the recreation
room of the church on Wednesday
evening,' for a social gathering,, and
for the purpose of beginning.' the
work of the Christian .Endeavor society, .•>..■:.:        '•' " '      " '"'
The committee- had every thing
well planned, and the indoor baseball
game,»which was played Under the
direction of Mr. Zinn, proved that the
ladies are as proficient in the great
national sport as.the.men. Frank Allen was Captain of the Tigers, while
the Cardinals played under the leadership of Octavia Anderson.
Grover Alexander and Walter
Johnson, in the days of their world
series triumphs, were not more effective than some of the pitcherB who
worked- on the mound in this game,
but no American or National league
umpire, or amateur for that matter,
ever made more unsatisfactory decisions than were made by the umpires in this game.
However, there was no danger of
breaking any of the windows in the
church for the ball used was one of
Uncle Sam's silver half dollars.
Refreshments were served, and 'a
committee on nomination was appointed. The work of the prayer
meeting committee is to begin next
Sunday evening, and the service will
be held at six o'clock. Miss Nellie
Jane Davy is to lead, and all young
people not identified with any of the
other young peoples societies are invited.
CLARE PAVEMENT
. NOWXOMPLETED
City Now Possesses 14.150
Feet of Excellent Concrete Pavement.
Contractor Campbell of Bay City
has completed the laying of concrete
on M-20 through the city of Clare
This pavement extends from the
Pere Marquette railroad on the west
to the Horace Joiner farm on the
east. The west end of the street
from McEWan street is open to travel
and it will be but a short time until
the east end is ready for traffic.
The work has been well done and
the city officials, engineers and contractor have been co-operating and
laboring together In harmony.
Mr. Campbell, and Engineer Prentice are both courteous gentlemen,
and their assistants are well qualified for the position they occupied.
It has- been a real pleasure to have
these gentlemen as citizens of Clare
for the summer.
Clare now has 14,150 "feet of excellent concrete pavement, which is
perhaps more than any other city ot
its size in the state, but not more
than we deserve for Clare is the best
city of its size in the state.

presented by a first class professional
cast.
Jast before the curtain rose on the
first act, Supt. Zinn announced that
the Sophomore class under the able
leadership of their faculty advisor,
Miss Ruth Hardie, had three hundred

ing older.
( Boxes of gifts, (which were later
devoured) were presented to the
doctor, who in turn furnished cigars
for his callers. Cards were the diversion of the evening and it was
agreed that the looser should pay
