Emma Rosetta Hutchinson Avas born
at Fremont, Sanilac county,,Michigan,,
June 22nd, 1868. She attended the f
country school, later graduating from
the district Normal at Lexington, and .
taught in tlie schools of Roscommon ,
and Clare counties. % j
She was married to James B. Allen
November  6th,  1893.    Pour  children,
were born to this union, two dying in .
infancy and  two  sons,  Norman  and ,
Prank at home.
She departed this earthly- life Feb-;
ruary 22nd, 1927 at the age of fifty-1
eight years r.ud eight months.
She   was  converted  at  the  age  of
Representatives last Thursday afternoon by vote of 61 to 35.
An amendment was adopted which
leaves it up to the jury to recommend
the death penalty or life imprisonment at hard labor and which would
permit the execution of criminals .convicted  on  circumstantial   evidence.
Passage of   the   Armstrong-Palmer
As long as her health permitted, she
was always to he found at her post
of duty in the church or wherever
duty called her, ever ready aud willing to do what the master had for
her to dp.
She leaves to mourn, her companion, James B. Allen, two sons, Norman and Frank, three brothers, T. C.
bill came as the climax of nearly three j Hutchinson • of Duluth, Minnesota;
hours of parlini'.'iitary skirmishing: Edward Hutchinson, of Croswell,
and oratorical lire-works which pro- j Mich,; lG. W. Hutchinson of Memphis,
Vided thrilling entertainment for what | Tenn.;   five sisters, Mrs. A E. Leith,
Was hy far the largest" crowd of
spectators which has jammed the legislature side-lines aud galleries thus
ifar this session.
Matinee and evening performances,
at which capital punishment was the
sole topic on the program.'were held
in the Senate Chamber on the day
preceding the final vote in the House.
This was In the form of a public hearing before the Senate committee on
Judiciary. A dozen or so of tlu> best
speakers in the state on this subject
debated pro aud eon from mid-afternoon until far into the night. Both
sides appealed to the emotions and
sentiment and hurled forth vollies of
scriptural texts to support their side
of the case. About the only thing
that could be agreed upon was that
Michigan is confronted with a most
serious crime wave aud that something should be done about it.
Governor Attends Debates
The deep interest or Governor Fred
W. Green in this issue of capital
punishment was revealed when he sat
with the Senate committee during the
"hearing and on the following day
listened to the debates on the floor ot
the House.
.   The electric chair bill has now heen
sent to the Senate where it is proph-
"ecied it will find an almost equal number of supporters and opponents.
Two less discussed hills aimed at
lessening Michigan's crime wave were
passed unanimously by the Senate at
its Monday evening session. One of
them is sponsored by Sen. Herbert J.
"Rushton of Escanaba and makes life
imprisonment mandatory for persons
convicted of assaulting another with
intent to rob or steal while armed
with any dangerous weapon. The
companion bill would forbid the
parole of prisoners convicted of first
degree murder. It was introduced by
Senator Seth Q. Pulver of Owosso.
The powerful Finance and Appropriations committee of the Senate
f<nd the Ways and Means committee
of the House are confronted with
staggering appropriation requests.
which if they were all granted would
materially increase the state tax. The
report is that many of the appropriations passed by the Legislature two
years ago were not carried out and
hence, many state institutions are said
to be in a deplorable condition.
4c Gas Tax, Permanent Licenses
Wfliile the capital punishment discussions have occupied the center of
the stage and have "been most obvious
to the on-lookers, another issue of
«ven greater importance has been
much discussed by little groups in
both the Senate and the House. This
'is the knotty problem of highway
finance and what to do about the present gas tax and weight levies.
An influential group of legislative
leaders are supporting a program
which is in complete accord with the
resolution on this subject adopted at
the recent annual meeting of the
Michigan State Farm Bureau. In
bi'ief, this plan would provide for a
4 cent gas tax, permanent licenses
for passenger cars and an annual
Weight tax for trucks arid busses-. A
further feature of this plan provides
that the counties should receive at
least eight million dollars annually of
the State highway revenue instead 4>t
six Million dollars as at present.
While, the Town and Strauch bills
which embody the above program
would leave the rate of the annual
weight tax for commea'eial vehicles
the same as at present, the sponsors
of this legislature are said to be considering seriously an effort to materially decrease the license rate on
light trucki?.
In order that this whol£ proposition
of hpw highway funds are to be raised and distributed may be thoroughly
discussed, the Boafls fiitd Bridgescom-
t«lttee of the House announced a pafa
of Chicago, 111.; Mrs. C. B. Sommors,
of Portland, Oregon; Mrs. Wm. Wilkinson, of Aberdeen, S. D.; Mrs. A.
H. Ingles of Croswell, Mich.; and
Mrs. A. E. Mack, of Clare, besides a
host of relatives and friends who will
sadly miss her.
The funeral services, were held from
(he Eagle church Thursday afternoon
by Rev. Chas. Kleinhardt assisted'by
Uev. Sam Guest. The sermon was
preached from Rev. 14th chapter and
loth verse. With inlermont at Cherry
Grove cemetery,
We will say goodbye but our loss is
her eternal gain.

Services in Charge of Laymen Well Accepted
Sunday Morning.     *>
A large audience 'Was present at.
the Congregational church last Sunday morning when the men of .that
church had charge .of the service,
M. R. Howlett announced the hymns
and read the church notices, Attorney'A. B. Wylie took charge of the responsive readings, and read tlie New
Testament scripture lesson, W\ H,
Elden, the senior member of the
Board of Deacons offered prayer.
Messrs N. A. Elden, H. C. Cudney,
C. C. Thompson and M. D. Feighner
were the members of the male quartette Who had charge of the music.
Special numbers, were a solo by C.
C. Thompson and a duet "The Old
Rugged Cross" by N. A. Elden and H,
C. Cudney. Leslie Osborne was at
the organ.
W. Roger Zinn, the superintendent
of the Clare schools delivered the seiv
nion. He read for his scripture reference, from John's Gospel, the story of
Thomas's doubt as Jesus appeared
unto the disciples.
He said: "Thomas believed in Je"sus
as a king, but expected that his. kingship would consist of material power
and rule,xand he did not understand
the spiritual, until proof of the resurrection was given unto him, whereupon he believed."
The speaker said that most of our
beliefs are the result of teachings of
mother or instructors, or what we
have learned from books, and'is accepted and believed without thinking.
He suggested that it might be well
to have some errors in text books to
cause students to think for themselves
and reason as to the truth.
Mr. Zinn said wt}. first believe, then
doubt and with proof, there comes a
working faith. He illustrated this by
referring to the life of a boy of ten
years, and the hero worship of his
dad. To him, at that age, his dad is
the greatest man in the. world and
there is nothing he cannot do. When
he is about fifteen and begins climbing fools hul, he begins to look at
things differently and his dad does
not seem to him to be such a big man,
However, when he is about twenty-
five and has seen more of life, his estimation of his dad grows, and as he
approaches middle life, his- respect
for dad increases as he realizes the
difficulties and obstacles he overcome in his 'life.
"This experience is similar to those
we pass through in our ideas of God,
but the tragedy is, that some people
drop it all in this time of doubt."
"Doubt does not know, but seeks to
lear.n. Jesus did not rebuke but proved Thomas. The church is gospel
plus tradition and there is much we
are asked to believe, but to me. the
essential creed is, that Jesus' Christ
is the Son of God."
The speaker stated that the church
needs men and while we may not accept all the tenents of the church, yet
it is the only agency to take, men as
they are and make them into sons of
God. While he urged all not to give
up the faith of childhood, he said it
was better to reason and prove Our
fajth.
In closing, Mr. Zinn said: "The
proof of Christ's.-divinity was the
print of the nails, and it takes the
print of the nail to make men. The
print of the nail is the sign of sacrifice, and the major master movement
of the Christian life is service.
This service was one of the best
ever held In this church and was proof
of the ability of the men to do these
things when given the opportunity.
Next month, the ladies of the
church are to have complete-charge
of a Sunday morning service.

SATURDAY DATE ON
LYCEUM COURSE
- Members of the Sophomore Class
regret the fact that they were compelled to take a Saturday date for the
Randall Company 'number __ of the
Lyceum Course. For this, no one in
.particular is to blame*. The course
was purchased at a' late date so the
Interstate Lyceum Bureau could not
give us all the dates we wanted. To
compensate the Sophomore Class for
the Saturday entertainment the company made a material reduction in the
cost of the series of programs. This
reduction bellied to make the Lyceum
a financial success.
All numbers of the Lyceum Course
for the year li)27-192§ will be presented on nights other than Saturday and
Sunday.
The Sophomore Class is proud of
the fact that it can fulfil its promise
that not more than one number will
be presented on a Saturday evening.

GARY BLACK
JESSES ON
Funeral of Woodsman  and
Aged   Citizen   Held
Tuesday Afternoon
The funeral services qfGary Black
were held from the" Tburlton Funeral
home Tuesday afternoon. Rev, Frank
Bates officiating and interment was
made in Cherry Grove cemetery.
Mr. Blade was a resident of Clare
for many years and the activities of
his life are best expressed in the following contribution Of a woodsman
who knew him well.
"My heart was filled with sadness
when I learned that my old friend
Gary had checked out. Gary was
from the old school of woodsmen,
there were few who knew the art of
lumbering better than he. Many of
the pines came down through Gary's
efforts. He was also famed as a river-
man, having worked on the Tobacco
and other streams for years. When
the lumbering was over Gary worked
at odd jobs.
If you wanted to see him look happy
all you had to do was to tell him
where he could get a job ditching even
at his advanced age he loved to labor.
It was a familiar sight tp see Gary
trudging along the road with his
lunch of crackers and cheese under
one arm and his tile spade under the
other. I used to spend hours listening
to his tales of the camps and river
experiences. It was he who told me
of "Gary's Rock"—"We will break the
jam on Gary's Rock and for Saginaw
well steer."
"Give me a horn-beam lever and
i;il take this drive out with the morning dew, by the great Jehovah" were
just a few of his funny remarks.
But Gary don't have to work now.
I am sure he is resting in that beautiful place called Heaven,—where the
rivers of love forever flow and there's
no ditches to dig, no logs to roll, on
the Golden path he may stroll, resting and listening to the angels; song.
Poor Gary, the ditcher is dead and
gone, *
^REPUBLICAN
STATEXWENTION
Tony Achard Honored  by   Being Selected  a  Member , of

convention, which was held at Grand
Rapids Tuesday, and harmony prevailed throughout the gathering.
Kennedy L. Potter, state chairman,
introduced Albert B, Petermann, of
Calumet, an temporary chairman, who
delivered the keynote address. This
address Was brief and well received
hy the delegates.
Governor Green also delivered an address iu which he -reviewed some of
the work _ accomplished > during , the
first sixty days of his administration,
and stated very emphatically that he
had interested himself in jnst one
position and that was the job of chairman of the State Central Committee.
He said he wanted a man in .that position- who could rally the Republican
iorces of the state, and who would
play team ball. In that matter he con-
fesed he had taken a real and active
part.
The name of Gerrit J. Diekma Avas
presented for that position by
Charles H. McBrkte, of Holland, and
the nomination was supported by
William Green, of Detroit, who had
been mentioned as a possible opponent.
Tho naming of tho ticket to be
placed before the electors at the
April election was almost a perfunctory affair. Justices Nelson A,
Sharpe and John ID. Bird were nominated jointly audi by acclamation.
The same held true for Regents Benjamin S. Hanchett and Lucius L. Hubbard, for Melville B. McPherson and
-Jay .R. McColI for. members of the
State Board of Agriculture, and for
Fred A. Jeifers fpr member of the
State Board of Education.
The only evidence of any contest
was for the office of State Superintendent of .Public Instruction, and the
names of Webster H. Pearce, of Mt.
Pleasant, Nellie 1). Chishohn, of Muskegon and the present incumbent,
Wilford L. Coffey, who was appointed
hy Ex-Goveriior Groesbeck wlteu he
i amoved Thomas B. Johnson from
That office, were presented-
.-^Hp.w.CYe.i'j..-the .convention was so
overwhelmingly in favor of Air.
Pearce that both of the other candidates withdrew and he was nominated by acclamation.

PETITIONED TO LIST
TRACT FOR REFORESTATION
A petition to list 720 acres of land
under the timbered land-act of 1925
for re-forestation has been filed with
the Conservation Department of
Michigan, by Earl Wilson pf Saginaw,
the owner of the property.
This land is situated in Hayes and
Hamilton townships, Clare county, and
the residents of these townships, including the city of Harrison, have
filed objections, their contention being
that it is valuable from the resort and
recreational standpoint, having five
lakes ton the property and other
natural advantages.
A hearing was conducted -at Harrison Tuesday, at which the Conservation Department was represented by
District Warden James McKeath, of
Midland, and was attended by representative citizens of the county.
A public offer of $12,000 for this
property was made by county school
commissioner, Asa Aldrich but was
not accepted by Mr. Walson.

Company shipped a carload of their
trailers to Des Moines, la., over the
Ann Arbor and Wabash railroads,
while this Week they again shipped
another over the Ann Arbor and Pen-
sylvaiiia lines to Pittsburg.
Since coming to Clare from Brown
City a few years ago, R. I, Hether
started the manufacture of a first,
class auto trailer and a complete
camping outfit, building same so compact and yet practical that they soon
met with public favor until today the
Clare Auto Tour Trailer is not only
demanded by the tourists of Michigan,
but many shipments have been made
into nearly =every state in the Union
and to different foreign countries.
These trailers have met*the most
severe tests put to them by tourists
and in each instance have proved
their superiority on all kinds of roads
and weather conditions.
Motorists who are contemplating a
trip this summer should write for the
literature concerning these trailers
and damping outfits, which will be
ready for mailing within a few days.

CLUB WINS DEBATE.
The question of Capital Punishment,
discussed daily through the press and
in our legislative halls was again debated hy the Clare Study Club who
accepted a challenge from the Lar-
mau Post. The Club arguing in tlie
affirmative Was represented by Mes-
dames Wm. Stephenson, B. N. Mercer and A. H Horton. The Legion
team included A. B. Gorr, N. L. Tibbils and ,T. O. Bellinger *
The judges, Com'r A. H. Aldrich, of
Harrison, Supt L, C. Earner of the
Farwell schools, and Miss Pearl
Coura, decided in the affimative by a
two-to-one decision.
• This question was debated by the
Club several weeks ago and the affirmative- side won. The debaters
were chosen by the Club regardless
of their persona) Opinion on the issue
to help .enlighten the public upon this
serious problem.
There was rejoicing among the
great crowd of Clare basket ball en-
thusiastics in the gymnasium Tuesday
evening,, when the final whistle blew,
and the game between Clare and Mt,
Pleasant high school ended with the
score 19 to 17 in Clare's favor
The local boys demonstrated speed,
accurate passing and team work. They
outplayed the visitors and kept the
lead- throughout the game, except at
the end, of the first quarter and in the
last minute of play, when the score
was tied.
Hearns started the scoring for
Clare with a successful free throw,
and Wally Johnson made a beautiful
long shot, which dropped so straight
through the hoop, that is scarcely
moved the "cord of the'basket.
Mt. Pleasant m.ade good on a free .
throw ahd made a field' basket in the
first period and the score was three
and three for the quarter.
Two field baskets for Hearns and
one for Grover brought Clare's score
up to nine, w.hile Mt. 'Pleasant. had
annexed two points '.on a, fi^ld .goal
and three on free throws, and the half
enck'd with Clare having a one-point
lead, -
There Was no let up in the la"st half
of the tremendous pace .which Clare
had set from the very start of the
game, and they broke .through the Mt.
Pleasant 'defense. . Hearns dropping
the ball in the basket three times and
Grover made two successful free
throws, but Mt. Pleasant was also
playing a hard, fast game and had
made four field baskets and one point
on a free throw, which brought the
score a 17 to 17 tie with one minute
to play.
Wally Johnson received the ball
near the corner of the court and in
shooting was fouled by the Mt. Pleasant player, thus giving him two free
throws.
It was a dramatic moment when
with but a fraction of a minute left
to play, and the score cied, this captain of the Clare team who is a senior and was playing his last game of
basket ball on the home floor, stepped
to the foul line and dropped the ball
through- the hoop on both shots thus
giving Clare a two-point -lead as the
whistle blew.
Every man on the team as well as
Coach Alldread is deserving of an
equal amount of credit and praise for
the manner in which they played, 'and
Clare may expect to hear of victories
from the tournament this year.
