Driving a taxi, meeting1 every train,
and making long trips either night or
day is rather a strenuous life for a
man eighty years of age, and a. Civil
War veteran, but   this    the    record
maintained by Jacob Mason of Clare.
"Jake," as he is familiarly called,
attributes his   excellent   health   and
strength to,, the fact tliat he has   always kept busy.    He has had some
interesting  experiences and has    always been active in tlte   affairs     of
Clare since 1873.     ,    .'
Born in York state, he came > to

As a means of   coping   with    tlie
chicken thief situation, Rep. Luther
E. Hall of Ionia has introduced a bill!
"to require every poultry buyer to°ob-
tain and record on blanks to be furnished by the Secretary of State, detailed information regarding each lot
of poultry purchased.    This informa-,
tion would include: date of purchase,
name of. seller, his or her residence,
• color,    color of   hair,    eyes,   height,
. weight, business occupation, kind of
poultry purchased, the number thereof, whether such poultry was raised
by such seller or purchased of others,
and   if  purchased  from  others,  then
the name of the person from
so   purchased  and   the   date
If the poultry were   delivered
motoi* vehicle,  the  purchaser  would
also have to record the auto license
number.    This  bill will undoubtedly
arouse 'a  great  deal of support,    as
chicken stealing is reported to be on
the increase in many    parts    of   the
state.

Governor Green has sent the Legislature a special message in which he
called their attention to the activities
of John L. Lovett, general manager
and lobbyist for the Michigan Mah-

Governor declared, ''When any man

• Recently, Mrs. McFadden informed
the local officers that she could no
longer stand the ill treatment, and
tlie fact that her home was being
made a place of public resort. The
officers secured all possible information and turned the case over to the
Isabella county officers, as it was

Owing to bad roads, and disagreeable weather; and the fact that motor
vehicles license plates were not placed on sale until January third, the
Clare county officers have decided to
extend the time limit for purchase of
plates until February first.
After that date, the law will be
strictly enforced, and all automobiles
and trucks mUs^   hear   1927   license

I   cannot   do   it
i justice.   We have    now   been   over
j three different routes from Michigan,
i to Florida and every route much dif-
: ferent, and all very interesting. This"
■ time we came   directly   south   from
\ Cincinatti, Ohio,   crossing   the   Ohio
' river at Covenington, Ky.    Here we
are in the foothills and mountains for
400 miles,   the   scenery   being   very
beautiful especially at Boonville and
vicinity.    Here  you  may' see  Daniel
Boon's cave in the side of mountain
called Boon's Knell.   Also Boon's cab*    ,
in at side   of   mountain.   Cumberliii
Gap is  to" very interesting,  the only
place through the   mountain   wher?
Boon considered practical to cut his
trail.    Here at this   point *is   where
Kentucky,   Tennessee  and    Virginia
come together.    One can stand in all
three states at once. This must have
been at an early day, a very difficult
place to get through. I am unable to *
describe it to you. But now the most '
beautiful concrete road all the way.
Before  leaving   this   point  no   doubt
you  read  of the terrible floods that'
came down the Ohio, Tennessee and    ?
Virginia valleys.
We are somewhat thankful that w&
were twelve hours ahead of the awful
flood that left 300 families homeless
right  where   we   came  thrqugh.  One
road at Pineville and Corbin was six
feet under water a few hours after we.
came over. We were in the rain tw<j
days but ahead of the rush of water.
We passed through the   yaliey   into
high ground in safety.   We are very
greatful to   the   Almighty   that   we
escaped «what   may   have   been    ja
tragedy long to be remembered.
We    are    enjoying    real    summer
weather  here,   warm  days  and  cool
nights.   However we "have had several
frosty nights since we came, but n'd
rain to speak of.   We are living in a
beautiful sub-division  out of Winter
Park, one of the most beautiful cities
in the state, situated about forty miles .
west' Qf the Atlantic ocean.   We can
drive from here   to the   east   coast,
west coast and back home the same
day.    Florida has the most beautiful
roads and more of   them   than   any
other state. Lain- handing this to the
Sentinel so that you^ may   all   hear
from us before we have a chance to
write individually.   Hoping this finds
all of Clara pedple and vicinity-well
and happy, we are your truly, *
