Minnies Albertson Carpenter was
born September 21, 1886, at Lake
View, "Michigan, and died at Harrison,
Wednesday morning, March 30,'1927,
aged forty-one' years, six months and
nine days'... Her early childhood-days
■were'' spent at Brinton, where she" attended the, village school. Later her
parent's'moved to Pennock Si'ding, the
father engaging in the mercantile
business there. There }she faithfully
assisted the father in the conduct of
the general-.store. Later she came to
Harrison jta conduct a variety store,
meeting-with, the best of success in
this ffce'st;business venture. It "was
here she first met Ben Carpenter, the
very-fortunate ^acquaintance resulting
in her marriage to him in March, 1914.
She was1 a menibe,r of the Harrison
board" :ol education, having served in
this capacity since last July. Her
name 'appeared among the loyal members of the Ladies Auxiliary ot the
Congregational church of this city.
With the addition of'the Harrison Ze-
tetie Club, her activities outside tlie
"home fireside' were completed. The
major portion of the life history 6f
Minnie Albertson Carpenter must be
recorded as'a mother whose energies
were devoted almost exclusively to
the perpetuation of a happy home environment. She was a good wife, an
•ideal mother, a grateful daughter and
most a loyal associate of both neighbor and friend. During her long and
painful illness, she was remarkably
brave and patient.
Among those left to mourn are the
husband and three boys, Allan, Ralph
and Eugene; her father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. John C. Albertson, of
Evart; four brothers, John, Louie and
Richard Albertson, of Lansing; and
William, of Bay City; two sisters,
Mrs. Frank Gaffney and Edith Albert-
son, of Evart. One.infant daughter,
Agnes Janet, and ' a sister, Mrs.
Francis McKenna, preceded her in
death.
' The Rev. H. B. Johnson of Clare,
officiated. The services were held
from the Congregational' church, Saturday, April 2, at two o'clock. Close
friends of the bereaved husband,
Messrs. Charles Weidner, Jesse Allen,
Charles and Sever Anible, 'Bernie
Hampton and Wallace Harper, served
as pall bearers. A,trio, consisting of
the tosses Estella Allen, Iola Amble
and Marie Fosgett, with Miss Gayla
Harper as accompanist, sang two
beautiful selections, favorites of the
departed. - The funeral text was taken
from the fourteenth chapter of John.
It reads as follows: "Let not your
heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me." As brought out
in a most beauuful and thoughtful,
manner, the true meaning • of the
words gave exceeding comfort to the
hearts of the large number of rela-,
fives and friends present. There was
an unusual abundance of flowers, in
their silent beauty telling of the love
and sympathy of many friends. Interment was made in Maple Grove cemetery.
Coach Alldread has had twenty-ilve
boys out for baseball practice, and a
winning high school team is anticipated.
With Allen, Cluley, Thayer,' Wally
Johnson and Sharp©, who were,, all
oaseball letter, men last year, Grover, who had experience in the grades
teams, Stanley, a pitcher on the Far-
well high school' team last year, and
Hearns, .formerly with Coleman, it is
practically,, a team of veterans which
will face Farwell in the first game 'of
the season on our local high school
diamond next Tuesday.
This large group of candidates
gives the coach an opportunity to
work the boys in practice games, and
with plenty of substitutes makes
every man on the team keep in condition to hold his position.
The schedule for the season's games
are:
■ April 19th, Farwell, here.
April 26th, Farwell, there,
April 29th, Evart, tnere.
■May 3rd, Coleman, there.

Five Counties Ask for Re-.
routing and Construction
of M~14 on West Side
of Houghton Lake.
A   delegation   representing   blare,

meeting of the .Administrative Board
at the Executive offices in Lansing,'.
Monday   in, the   interests   of   state
trunk line M-14. ■ j
The special .request ol" this deiega-J
tion was for the re-routing and,, con-1
istructiou of the trunk   line  'on,-the!
west side  of Houghton/and  Hig'gins
'lakes. ,,__•_
This route has already' been apflrov-
!ed by the"   Federal   authorities, -and
'the survey is being made, but it'does-
jnot appear  on  the  three year  '.•construction program, .   ;       • A
This road would mean a saving of-
from twelve to fourteen miles in .driving from Larising-to Grayling-,., and,
would not interfere with the , trunk
line system at Houghton Jake, Us tho'
present M-14 along the south shore
is also M-55, which connects . 'with'
M-1S at Priiddenville.
A road on the west sid* of■■ these
lakes would give access to Higgins
lake, which is one of the most beautiful lakes in Michigan, anil practically,
unknown, beeausv it is (,'h,v'cllli to
reach from the ,south.' Tne srou'r
beauty of such a road, having about
ten miles of short drive on 'Houghton
and Higgins Hires would be uue-ccul-
led.
It was stated at the meeting Monday, that liusro are no great engineering problems connected with the
construction, as the land is practically level and there is only one small
swa'mp and this has a firm and solid
bottom, Gravel of the best quality is
to be obtained along the route, and
the right of way has already been
donated.
Roscommon county has built seven
and one-half miles of road west of
this proposed route, and parallel to it,
at an expense of $20,000, a large portion of this sum having been donated.
The delegation was favorably received by the Administrative, Board
and their request referred to the
Highway committee.

State Conservation* Department
Planning to Place 'Quints in
Every Forest District,
A truck from the forest fire division
of the Michigan Conservation Department, was in Clare last Friday forenoon enroute to Gaylord, where it will
be located for use in that district,
which comprises four counties.
The truck was in charge of Charles
Peterson, the chief of the forest fire
division, and he was accompanied by
James MeKeath, of Midland, the district warden.
The truck is equipped with two
tanks, each having a capacity of
ninety gallons, and eight cans, each
holding ten gallons, beside six hand
pumps with tanks of five gallons capacity, thus giving a total storage of
two hundred and ninety' gallons of
•water.-
' A plow, axes, shovels and all other
necessary tools are carried, and an
Evinrude motor Pump is attached to,
the platform 'of the truck with wing
bolts,- so that it can easily be remov-.
ed if necessary. This-motor can.be
carried by one man. and will work as
well on the ground as on the truck.
A suction hose of sufficient length
to be used in a creek, well or water
hole can quickly be attached to the
pump, and one thousand feet of one
and one-half inch fire hose is carried.
This pump, has a capacity of forty-five
gallons of water per minute, and will
thrown a stream of water a distance
of sixty feet from the nozzle of this'|
fire hose.
A faucet in the storage tank makes
it possible to fill the five gallon hand
pump tanks in one minute.
A demonstation was given at the
Tobacco river bridge, at Harrison,
and Grayling, for the benefit of the
wardens of the territory.
Mr. Peterson stated that a man was
to be in charge of the truck at Gay-
lord, and that it would be ready for
service day or night. Arrangements
are also made for six men at Gay-
lord,, who will be available for service
with this truck whenever it becomes
necessary. This has been made possible through the co-operation of employers of labor in that community.
Mr. Peterson states that this is the
most completely equipped forest fire
fighting apparatus in the county, and
that it is the aim of the department
to place a truck in, each forest district in the state.

unting for 18,309 fires.   There were 73addition there were 33*9 "fatalities.'
I hope our people will observe Clean-tJp-Week by removing all rubbish
and inflammable material from dangerous proximity to all buildings. Local
authorities are urged to give special attention to fire regulations and
where necessary, install additional fire fighting apparatus; cause fire drills
to be conducted in all public and private institutions, factories a'nd schools
and ask teachers to^ instruct their pupils in the work of fire Prevention.
The people of Michigan have to pay this tremendous fire, loss of ?17,-

I urge most earnestly that everything possible be done to minimize the
danger of fire, lessen fire hazards of every kind ahd reduce the toss of life
and property throughout this State. I recommend the installation of
sprinkler systems wherever possible.
