of the pursued and pursuer traveling
at a high rate of speed, night officer
Thomas Grove's succeeded in.capturing three men who were suspicious
characters, and evidently were very

emptied his revolver at the tires of
the car, but failed to register a hit.

This game was the last on the
schedule of what has proven a very
successful season for the Clare basketball team.
They have played thirteen games
and won eight, losing only to Reed
City, Mt. Pleasant Indians and once
to Mt. Pleasant high school. The
Indians have only been defeated once
this season, and that by Greenville, a
class B. school in a fast and hard
fought game.
Reed City lias gone through the
season with thirteen straight victories, and Clare is the only class, C.
school which they have played, and
Reed (City is the only class C. school
which has defeated Clare.
Clare has scored 232 points to their
opponents 221 in the total of thirteen
games played, but in the eight games
they won they scored 176. points to
their opponents 91. Reed City and
the Indians in their first game are
the only teams scoring more than 20
points on Clare.
Coach Alldred is deserving of great
credit for this very successful season. The only regular left from last
seasons squad was Captain Wally
Johnson, and a team had to be Ae-
veloped from players with little or no
experience.
That he was qualified for the task
and the boys willing to work and
learn, has been proven by the success
which has been attained.

Harlow Hamlin, the thirteen years
old son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Hamlin, residing seven and one-half
miles north and twot and one-half
miles west of Clare, is' indeed a credit
to any community. This lad is determined to secure an education and
daily is seen by residents along the
highway hiking southward at an hour
when most folks are just deciding to
enter upon the new day's duties.
Harlow is a sophomore in the high
school and has missed but one day so
far this school year, when he suffered injury of his ankle during the icy
weather, and has been tardy but
once. He aims to attend each number
of the lyceum course.
He graduated from the eighth grade
in tlie Hatton schools when eleven
years old while Daisy Bruckart was
teacher in his district, and was also
the youngest successful student in the
county to "pass the state eighth grade
examination.
Harlow is not in a position as yet
to know just what he will do when
he has completed high school, hut
with his enthusiasm and determination we are sure he will continue to
be a credit to home and community.

JUNIORS PRESENT
COMEDY BEFORE
FLU HOUSE
Young  People   Show Skill
and    Training    in   Class
Play Tuesday Evening.
Every seat in the high school auditorium was occupied Tuesday eve*
ning, at the excelent presentation ot
the comedy "Dummy", by the Junior
class under the direction of Mrs. W.
Roger Zinn, the .faculty advisor.
The play is good, having plenty of
comedy, considerable mysfery, a
dummy who talks at the proper time
and who Wins the girl 'he loved.
Each person in the cast is to be
congratulated upon the manner in
which they impersonated the, character they were expected to represent,
and although the parts in this play
were difficult, each one handled their
role with a finesse seldom seen in
amateurs,
, It was evident that there had been
careful and studious application to
the preparation of the play on the
part of the cast, and an exceptionally
efficient director, to make such a complete success. i
The musical numbers consisting of
a piano solo by Leslie Osborne, vocal
solos by Mi«s Jane Davy and Mis?
Thelma Kline, were greatly appreciated by the audience. The sixth grad^
quartette sang two selections and
from the generous applause given
them it was evident that they made a
strong hit with all.
The several committees of the
class also did excellent work; in caring for the details of advertising,
program and property.
The juniors taking part in the play
were Misses Betty Groves, Mary
Elden, Dorothy Comer and Kathleen
Osborne, Lowell Shull, Acey Parker,
Nila Struble, Charles Lawson and
Lewis Dawson
High school plays not only provide
good wholesome entertainment, but
are profitable from the standpoint of
training to the student.
Bankers throughout eastern«Michigan, lately have indicated in interviews published in Bay City, Saginaw
and other newspapers, a keen interest
in a movement to bring about more
diversified farming. The bankers express little faith in any plan of farm
relief depending on the making of
laws to regulate prices, but feel that
the farmer must depend on his own
efforts to better his condition,
Bankers of Clare and rsabella
Counties agree with others in the
sugar beet and bean growing area of
Michigan that farmers should obtain
more cows to milk. They point out
that dairy farming assures a steady
income, tends to systematize the
farmer's plans and helps to secure
him against the element of chance,
since the successful , dairy farmer
must diversify his crops.
James S. Bicknell, president of the
Citizens State Bank, of Clare, believes
that enough cows afford the farmer a
good working basis, while he is in accord with the opinion • generally expressed in the bankers' interviews,
that .farmers having sugar beet land
should include in a careful rotation
as many acres of beets as they know
they can take care of properly,
"Sugar beefs , said Mr. Bicknell,
are a most dependable cash crop, because of their guaranteed price and
the ruggedness that makes it possible
to mature and harvest them under
very unfavorable weather conditions.
The beet grower is enabled to meet
his larger obligations promptly
through payments coming in lump
sums at fixed times. Hence the banker regards the beet grower asking for
aid, as a good risk. The beets have
helped largely to pay for many farms
in eastern Michigan."
C, H. Sutherland, cashier of the
Clare County Savings Bank, said he
felt many farmers had made a mis-
take by seeding too much of their
ground to one crop, speculating heavily on the weather and the future market. This course, pursued year^after
year, has been costly aside from the
immediate chances taken, he said, in
that it has taken from the ground
vital elements that have not been replaced by thorough fertilization.
"Dairy farmies," mi\ Sutherland added," affords means of fertilizing anrl
enables the farmer to convert much
of his produce into materials that are
always saleable at fair prices. Beet
ground is invaluably as sugar beet
growing in. connection with dairy
farming makes an ideal combinationr'
—a double dependence. The beet
sugar industry is a. valuable asset to
the farming community and because
the beets are a comparatively certain
crop of assured price, bankers have
come to regard them as good security."-
The Clare bankers agreed that considering the price of sugar, the contract offered beet growers this yeaf
is reasonable and as liberal as could
be expected in a time that is critical
for the domestic sugar industry, as
proved by the radical fall in the price
of sugar stocks.

Robert Stewart, who said he Avas

found in an unconscious condition, by
the side of trunk line M-20 about one
mile west of Clare, Saturday afternoon, and brought to Clare and piaffed in the city jail by Under Sheriff
Thomas Groves.
It was evidently a case of "dope"
as Stewart told Prosecutor Holbrook
Monday that he lfad been using it
whenever obtainable during the past
three years.
Having no charge to prefer other
than vagrancy; which would mean expense to the county while he would
be serving time -at the county jail,
Stewart was released by the officers,

not to return. , ■■.
