BOYS AT WINDOVER

Rev.    H.    B.    Johnson   is
"Dad"   of  Camp,  While
Stanley Parish Holds
Title of Mascot.
June 25 to 30 Inclusive
Sat.   June   5—Is   Zat     So?—Geo
O'Brian—A fast moving picture,    of
a Pug and his. pals in society.
Sun.-Mon.—The Red Mill—Marion

There is plenty of excitement and a
happy group of youngsters at Camp
Windover this week where H. B.
Johnson and . twenty-live boys are
camped. .
Out ot bed at six o'clock to partake
of a hearty breakfast, and to keep
busy throughout the entire day with
equal portions of work and,play, the
boys "hit the hay," at an early hour
and .sleep soundly through the night,
The great wide bunks.at one side of
the tents are filled with great quantities of hay and with plenty of bedding, they all sleep comfortably during the coldest nights. Two boys are
on guard constantly to keep watch
over the camp, and this is a novel
experinece for most of the boys to
take their turn "at standing guard.
There has. not been a single case
of home sickness this year, and this
is quite remarkable because most oJ
the boys have never been in a camp
before, and many have never been
away from home a night in their
lives except' in company with their
parents.
A perfect , system of organization
prevails and each boy Is taught his
duties and does them without faultfinding and in a spirit of cheerfulness. Mr. Johnson talks to the boys
on the fundamental facts of life and
frankly answers any questions they
ask him. The boys all call him "Dad"
and eagerly seek the privilege of
doing him a favor. %
Mrs, Johnson is at the camp and
often the yell master calls on the
boys to give nine "rahs" for "mother"
for some special kindness she has bestowed upon them.
Stanley Parrish, he youngest boy
in the camp was chosen as the mascot, and is acquitting himself like a
veteran camper.
The community is being rendered a
service through this camp of'ideals,
where boys who are not members of
the scout troop may have the camp
training and experience with a man
who has always been found a boy's
friend.

game with Evart leading two to one
until the eighth inning, when Clare
scored three runs. Evart came back
with one run in their half of the

SEASON THIS YEAR
Conservation    .'C ommis'sion
Would Also Inspect Fish
Baskets.
Partridge in Michigan will be protected again this year according to reports from Lansing where the conservation commission in session last
week decided to keep the ban on
partridges for another year. J. Oliver
Curwood, a commissioner member,
wanted to close the season for two
years but the other members thought
it best to limit it to one year for he
present at .least.
The commissioner apprbved a plan
to inspect the fishing baskets of every
fisherman In Michigan and demanding a report from each fisherman as
to the fish and number caught during
the season. This would give the department 'a closer check on the field
of .activities covered by the various
game wardens and would supply a
complete survey of fishing conditions
in the state's lakes and streams. In
the past there has been no check on
the number of fish' caught each year
and while the proposed plan would I
not give the state a complete check i
it would at least provide some mean'""
of ascertaining the average size di'
fish in various waters and give sohae
idea of the number being caught each
INDIAN KILLS A
FREAK OF NATURE
t   t
Cross   Bred   Dog and   Fox
- Shot Near Mt. Pleasant
After it Killed Sheep.
The skin of a cross bred fox which
was exhibited at Mt. Pleasant recently aroused considerable interest
among hunters and other people who
were privileged to see it. The pelt
was exhibited by Mr. C. R. Smith
and Will Solomon, the latter- an Indian. Both men. live in • Denver
township. The animal, as was easily
seen by an examination of the skin
was a cross between a dog and a" fox.
It .was larger than the ordinary red
fox which is known to this locality,
but its color and markings were
identical with those of that animal.
A short time ago five sheep were
killed and sevei'al more were seriously injured on the farm of Mr. Smith,
Following this, .measures were taken
to catch the marauding dog and Mr,
Solomon soon, .saw and shot the
animal already .described.
It is interesting to note that the
creature inherited the unforgivable
vice of sheep killing from its canine
ancestry.
This is the third of its kind to be
killed near Mt, Pleasant in spite of
the fact that the species is exceedingly rare.
WILBUR L0WERN0W HOLDS
NEW RECORD FOR PIKE
Lands Sixteen Pounder Tuesday
Evening After Thirty
Minute Fight.
Not being exactly satisfied with letting the record for catching the
largest pike in Clare county rest in
Clare. Wilbur Lower, of Arthur
township, took tipon himself Tuesday
.evening to break that record thereby
placing" his home township on the
map.
Bringing out his best line and pole
and  other  equipment he   secured  a
good partner and left for lake,
(in Clare county). After fishing for
about an hour with little success, the
"grandpa" of that body of water
seemingly got tired of seeing the
"plug" on the top so much, and took
a smash at it. He hit too hard and
being unable to overbalance the
weight on the end of the pole, found
himself fast.
After careful maneuvering for over
thirty minutes the monster measuring thirty-nine inches and weighing
sixteen pounds was tumbled over the
side of the boat.
Witnesses claim that Wilbur "was
not the least bit excited."
UNCLE SAM PAYS FEE
FOR BORER CLEAN-UP
About $1,600,000   Will   Be  Received  by Michigan Growers
For  Fighting  Pest—Claims
Should Not Exceed $2.00
Per Acre*,
Uncle Sam has opened up his poo
ket book and is busily engaged in)
making payments to Michigan farmers for their extra labor in fighting
the corn borer. It is the* earliest
"cash Crop" which farmers have received in years, according to reports
received at Michigan State College.
Extra labor fee payments to farmers in the corn borer area are now/
being mailed out of. Washington as
fast as the vouchers- are received, It
is estimated that approxmately $1,-
600,000 -will be paid to some $5,000
farmers in the 23 counties affected,
Truman Eggleston ot Jackson,
county is the first Michigan farmer to,
receive his check. Vouchers for
Emory Smith of Lapeer county,
George Conley of Calhoun, and Irvin
Sober of Shiawassee county, and numerous others, are on their way to
Washington for payment, according
to advices received from corn borer
headquarters at Toledo, Ohio.
Some farmers are filing claims for
more than $2.00 per acre, which is
very likely to result in delay in the
payment of their vouchers. The law
provides that not more than $2.00 -per
acre dan be paid for the clean-up,
In cases where the extra labor involved" amounted to more than the
maximum allowed by law, farmers
are advised by the State Department
of Agriculture to'file their claims on
the basis bf $2.00 per acre.

WARNING
To all owners and keepers of dogs:
Many complaints have come to my
office regarding dogs running at large
and molesting and destroying game.
The situation is aggravated in the extreme. Nests of game," and other
birds, have been found destroyed by
dogs. Dogs are feeding on young rabbits, and worrying rabbits carrying
young. In my opinion, any person
who permits his dog to run at large
and molest game is not a true sportsman, nor a good citizen.
This notice is being published as an
appeal to sportsmen and good citizens
to correct this abuse. It is also
meant as a warning to all others.
Hereafter all dogs must be confined
to the owner's premises unless
actually accompanied by the owner
or liis agent. Peace officers will be
instructed to kill any dog found running at large and pursuing game, day
or night.   We mean business.
If you value your dog, do not fail
to heed this notice . If your dog is
killed by any officer, do not complain
about it. It will be your fault. Game
animals ancl birds are an asset to the
county and it is the duty of every
man to help preserve them. Tie up
or otherwise control your dog.

In loving memory of our dear
mother and grandmother, Mrs. Susanna Bristol-Harris, * who passed

What would I give
To clasp her hand,
Her cherry face to see,
To hear her voice,
To see her smile,
That meant so much to me.
She did not fail
To do her best,
Her heart was true and tender.
She worked so hard
For those she loved,
That's something to remember.

HON. JOHN KETCHUM
DELIVERS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS
Year of 1927 Passes, in History With Largest Enrollment on School Records
Forty-nine young men. and women
received their diplomas, from. . the
Clare high school last Thursday evening in t}ie' largest class ever graduated from that institution, and the
audience in the. auditorium- was the
largest ever assembled for. a similar
occasion, »
The auditorium stage was decorated with buff and gold, the class .colors, and a minature ship was suspended over the * platform as suggestive of the TnottOj which was: "Tonight we Ja'iihch—where „ shall we
anchor"? The processional march
■was played by Miss Verda Zuschnitt,
the faculty advisor of the class.
The young men- in the class wore
dark coats and white flannel trousers, and the young ladjes were gowned in white flarinel skirts and dark
velvet jackets, and presented a very
neat and attractive appearance as
they marched down, the aisle of the
auditorium and took their* places on
the platform. '
The Salutatory . and Valedictory
addresses' were delivered by the
Misses Reva Derby and Altha Kidder
respectively, and the music for. the
exercises was furnished by the senior and junior girl's glee clubs.
In introducing Congressman John
C. Ketchum of Hastings, former Com-*'
missioner of schools of Barry county,
and for many years the Master of the
Michigan State Grange, who was to
deliver the address, Superintendent
W. Roger Zinn referred to the motto
of the class and said: "I do not know
whether the name of your ship is the
Santa Maria or' the spirit of St
Louis, but I trust it may be the spirit
of Clare."
Mr. Ketchum congratulated Clare
on the interest shown in education,
through the magnificent building and
equipment and the large audience
present, and said that occasions like
this shows America at its' best. He
congratulated the class on their
perservauce in keeping this objective
before them until,the goal had been;,
reached, and urged the boys ari<£-'
girls of the audience to be inspired
by their success."
The speaker paid tribute to the
teachers for their loyalty and labor,
and to the parents who are justifiably
proud "of the achievements of their
children and who are now being repaid for all of the sacrifices which
they have made.
Mr. Ketchum charged the class t»
do constructive work in the worlds
saying that anyone can tear down,
but it takes an architect to build up,
and the greatest thing anyone can
build is a character that will stand
through the years. He defined eour-
age as doing the thing that one
should, do and doing it better .each
day. While he urged the spirit of cooperation in building the good, Mr.
Ketchum said they must be ready also ,for combat against "ignorance anS
inefficiency which prevails "in America.
"The" spirit of irresponsibility is
rampa*nt in America today, and the
dangerous attitude of many people Is,
that government is outside of the -
people. It will be a sad day .for
America if this spirit, which evJUaiifc-
ly came from our close contact -with
European people during the war, continues. However I have faith in the
youth of America, and believe they
will labor to conserve the traditions
of our fathers which have been given,
to us through sacrifices."
The draperies on the stage and the
trophy case at the rear of the auditorium were purchased by the class
as a metno'rial tp the school, and
these were.formally presented by Rollin Shull, the president of the class,
and accepted in behalf of tlie district
by Mr. D. B. Mater, a member of. the
Board of Education,
This fine class was introduced by
Principal G. R. Bogan, and Dr. A. E.
Mulder, in behalf of the Board o£
Education presented the diplomas'.
