Armistice Day was observed in
Clare with exercises at the high
school auditorium, arranged by the
"Walter A. "Carman Post of the American Legion in co-operation with the
public school.
The parade was formed at the
corner of Fourth and McEwan streets,
and led hy the guarded colors and the
band, the Legion and Boy Scouts
marched to the school house.
Attorney T. Carl Holbrook, Commander of the Post, presided as chairman and the invocation was delivered
hy Rev. WT. W. Hurd,
The Boy Scouts, under the direction
pf Scoutmaster ROss Thompson took
~$i part in tho flag ceremonials and sang
some of the familiar war day songs
as they were-seated around the camp
Are. Mrs. Bellinger and Mrs. Maybee
assisted in arranging this part of the
program.
The vocal numbers on the program!
were furnished by the Girls' Glee Cluh j
under the direction of Miss Thelma
Cline, and the high school band made
its initial public appearance. George?
A. Boyd, is director of this musical
organization and it seems little short
of a miracle that he would be able to
have them ready to play for this occasion, as the work was not began
until late in the spring and was interrupted by the summer vacation.
The audience expressed their appreciation of the band with generous
applause.
The President's proclamation was
read by Walter Upthegrove and Miss
Harriet "Vosburg gave the reading: "'In
Flanders Field." Mrs. Ruth Hachmuth gave a report of the Red Cross
roll call campaign from which it appeared that over one hundred members had been secured in the city up
to that hour, and this is the most
successful roll call since the days of
the war. Mrs. Hachmuth expressed
the thanks of the committee and
stated that the work would continue
until the canvass was completed, or
until Thanksgiving day.
The principal address of the day
was delivered hy Rev. H. B. Johnson,
lellowship member of Walter A.
Larman Post. Mr. Johnson predicted
that the eleventh day of November
•which meant so much to the world
nine years ago, would soon be added
to the list of national holidays.
He said that the observance of
these days teach the cost of war and
should remind us that we should do
all in our power to prevent war. He
said: "I believe in peace, but not
peace at any price, for American institutions and principles must be defended at all costs."
The speaker raid tribute to the
American Legion for the constructive
work which they have done in the
community in assisting the "Boy
Scouts, the Library and the arranging of appropriate exercises for
Memorial and Armistice Day, as well
as the splendid relief work for disabled ex-service men. He said: "I
have never known of any project for
the gdod of the community that has
not received the whole hearted support of this organization."
Mr. Johnson gave the public school
the credit for building the foundations
of patriotic love and service in the
hearts and lives of the boys and girls,
and predicted a greater America in
the future as a result of the work of
our educational institutions.
The exercises were closed with all
singing America and the sounding, of
taps by Buglar Harry_Lane.
The business houses of the city
were closed for one hour from 2:15 to
3:15 out of respect to those men who
paid the supreme sacrifice during the
World War.

The training rules were sus'pended
for this banquet and there were not
only great platters of chicken and*
everything, delicious that ordinarly
goes with a chicken dinner, but pies
and cake wore also added to the
menu, and this was a special treat to
these boys who have to refrain from
eating sweets during the football
season.
Rev. Johnson presided as toastmaster aud there were brief talks given
by Messrs Bogan and Tlchenor, Wally
Johnson, Coach Aldread and Captain
Roland Thayer.

Afternoon.
LAST RITES FOR
SEVERT SEVERSON
Clare high school closed a very
successful football season last Thursday afternoon by administering a 19
to 0 defeat to the Sacred Heart
Academy team of Mt. Pleasant.
Clare outplayed their opponents
throughout the game, making eight
first downs, while the Mt". Pleasant
boys only made four. The locals however, were held within ten. yards of
the goal on three different occasion.-*
and were unable to go over as the
Sacred Heart line fought desperately.
The first touchdown was the result
of a forward pass frbm the twelve
yard line, Grover to Hearns. In the
third quarter, H. B. Johnson, half
back, caryied the ball around the
left end of his own line and ran 60
yards for the second touchdown,- and
a forward pass. Grover to Stanley was
completed for the extra point.
Clare faked and got off a short kick,
and recovered the ball 'in midfield. A
punt carried the ball to Sacred
x.eart's 13' yard line, and when the
Mt. Pleasant boys attempted to punt
it was partially blocked and Clare secured the ball on S. H.'s 10 yard line.
On the fourth down, Grover carried it
across the goal line for the third
touchdown.
Clare has played eight games this
season, and won from Beaverton, Gladwin, Evart, Barryton, Sacred Heart
and Reeci City and lost only to Shepherd and Mt. Pleasant high. The
former won by one touchdown that
came in the last 10 seconds" of play,
and Clare held Mt. Pleasant scoreless
in the first half, but poor punting lost
them the game in the lash period.
They have made a total of 113
points to their opponents 37 for the
season, and there are only two of the
regulars who are seniors, so they are
looking forward to an even greater
season next year,.

and thrilled. ■
Bob Bennett (Acey Parker) and E.
M, Ralston* (Lowell Shull) are members of a prosperous brokerage firm
and during a conversation, they discuss business lies,. Ralston offers to,
wager ten thousand dollars that Bennett cannot tell the truth at least once
during a period of twenty-four hours.
Ralston's daughter, (Betty Groves)
a fiancee of Bob's, is collecting money
for charity, and has given Bob ten
thousand dollars to double for her sc
she can collect her father's donation
of a like sum he has offered to contribute providing she can raise the
twenty thousand dollars.
Bob invests the money ih this
wager, and the other members of the
firm provide plenty of annoyance for
Bob, as they watch him closely,
while Ralston has to contend with the
two sisters, Mahel and Sahel Jack"(
son (Kathleen Osborne and Bernice
Groves) who make themselves perfectly at home in his office, and this
fact must be kept from his wife
(Minnie Zimmerman). Boh finally
wins the bet when he is forced to tell
the truth to Mrs. Ralston.
