ALUM! TO HOLD SAL.
OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Each Alumnus Invited to Con-
tribute Any Salable Article,
This- meeting is. a "Mixer," was the
statement made by Attorney T. Carl
Holbrook, president of the Clare
Chamber of Commerce, as he explain-
- ed the purpose of the Goodfellowship
meeting .which was held at the Advance Grange Hall, Elm Grove Tuesday ^evening. '
One hundred men did full justice to
the delicious chicken dinner which
was served by the ladies of the
Grange. When all had been served,
Mr. Holbrook, in behalf of the men
from Clare, welcomed the men of the
Elm Grove community as guests of
the Clare business men, and introduced E. A. Anderson as toastmaster.
"Andy" has always been a consistent booster for Clare and is ever
ready to do his share in community
work, but he has never passed as a
public speaker, an$ was very reluctant to appear as toastmaster.
However, if he was nervous or worried on this occasion, it w,as not
evident to even his closet friends, for
he performed like a professional
.toastmaster, and the program was entertaining and interesting.
The business men's band, consisting of Norris Elden, William Lange,
George Boyd, Dr. A. E. Mulder, Ross
-Thompson, Glenn MeKeever, Fred
Thompson, Floyd Aldread and John
Davy were on hand, and added much to
the sudcess of the gathering with the
good music they furnished. A cornet
and baritone duet by Norris Elden
and George Boyd with Ross Thompson accompaning on the piano was
. heartily applauded.
Fred Morgan .expressed the senti-
-ruents of all of the men, when he
thanked the ladies for the wonderful
dinner which they had served. Robert
Cochran and Paul Zimmerman were
called on to represent the men of the
Elm Grove community.
Rev. W. W. Hurd, Ed. Zemmer,
Ross Thompson and W. S. McAllister
proved to be good story tellers, and
N. L. Tibbils .said he believed that
these gatherings would bring the
merchants and farmers closer together, making each realize that friendship and fellowship were the greatest
things in life.
B. N. Mercer said in . part us follows: "I know from personal experience that our meeting together
makes us, as business men, analyze
our everyday business dealiugs with
our customers. We are led to ask the
question, if we could have rendered a
better service. Our daily actions and
the conduct of our lives are. analyzed
by the people with whom we come in
contact, and we never take any more-
out of -a community, than we put into
...   We should seek to help others. If
- a fellow is discouraged or down and
out, we should pat him on the back
and make him feel that life is worth
living." . .
Rev. H. B. Johnson congratulated
the people of the community on the
progressive Grange with its splendid
Ideals, and said that while every community had its problems and some
unpleasantness, many of the problems
may be solved and the, unpleasant
things overcome through the development of a community spirit. "We all
• like to have our own way and believe
our own notions to be< the best, but
as we become acquainted and see the
good which is in all folks, we broaden
out and our own lives are sweeter
and happier as well as being a- greater blessing to our fellowmen."
There was a fine spirit throughout
the entire meeting and the Clare men
were unanimous in their desire to
visit Advance Grange Hall again next
year.
George White has been appointed
chairman of the meeting at Delwin
Gleaner Hall next Wednesday evening, November 30th, and reservations
may .be made with Fred Thompson at
Davys'.

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS
SEAL SALE OPENS
Gov. Green Urges Voluntary Buying of- Seals to
Assist in Carrying on
Tb. Fight.
Thanksgiving Day marks the opening of the twentieth annual tuberculosis Christmas seal sale in the
United States. More than two billion
tiny penny stickers bearing the picture of Santa Claus and carrying the
message of Christmas Greetings and
Good Health are to be placed on sale
on that day throughout the entire
country. In Michigan alone 82,000,000
Christmas seals will be distributed by
the Michigan Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated county and local
branches. The pennies reeived irom
the sale of these cherry Christmas
seals with the double-barred cross
finance the fight against tuberculosis.
That this fight has to date been
successful is evidenced by the fact
that the State Department of Health
recently compiled figures which show
that 1,000 less persons died of tuberculosis in Michigan in 1926 than
would have died had the 1927 death
rate prevailed. However, the fight
against tuberculosis must go on, as
this disease still takes more lives between the productive years of 18 and
45 than any other known disease.
Governor Green who is the honorary
chairman of the Christmas seal sale
in Michigan has issued the following
Thanksgiving *Day proclamation because he believes that the "life-saving qualities of the tuberculosis Christmas seals should recommend them to
the attention of each and every one."
"To the People of Michigan*.
From Thanksgiving Day to
Christmas for tlje twentieth year,
you will be asked voluntarily to
buy tuberculosis Christmas Seals.
With the funds realized from
the sale of these seals is carried
on the work of the Michigan
Tuberculosis Association and its
affiliated branches.
In view ot tne fact that there
are probably 40,000 living cases of
active tuberculosis in Michigan
the people of thjs State have an
intense interest in »the furtherance of the work of this organization. To prevent needless death
is a noble act. Such is the purpose of the tuberculosis Christmas
Seal for which I earnestly bespeak
your generous support,"

Local playgoers will have an opportunity to see something especially
good when Edward Locke's famous three-act comedy, THE BUBBLE, is given
here soon by a professional cast on the Interstate Entertainment Series. Tbl_
is the play in which the eminent actor Louis Mann scored one of his greatest
triumphs.
THE   BUBBLE  combines, nil   tbe  necessary   qualities  in  a  successful
comedy.   It has Uie humor, tlie 'love story, the girl, the deep-dyed villain, th"
modest hero, and a gct-rich-quick scheme, all  boiled down and served in ,
captivating style.
To outline the plot of the play would be to rob the uninitiated of the
pleasure that is to be experienced in its various twists of action. Jus'
imagine, however, a delicatessen stoi*e conducted by a lovable old man.
Gustave Mueller, with the ablp assistance of his better half and their charming daughter Rose. Imagine our hero, a dashing young reporter (they're
always dashing), who is in love with Rose, but who at the same time is
persona non grata with the old folks, Now enter the villain with his glih
tongue and oily ways to fleece the father and mother out of their earnings.
It is an old plot, but it does not "thicken" 'in the same old way. tou'll be
surprised and amused.
Most of us at one time or other felt in our blood the virus of an* ambition to be Wealthy. This ambition has ted, perhaps, to experiences which
we would be quite willing to forget. We can appreciate for that renson the
wily stock salesman whom we see in THE BUBBLE, for tn him we find the
outstanding characteristics of many successful stock promoters whom w«
have met.  He makes you want to buy some stock yourself.
But maybe the old folks of the play have drawn the lucky number and
will have the laugh on young Richard Graham, the reporter, who loves Rose.
THE BUBHUE appeared for one year at Booth's Theatre in New Tdrk, and
two years on the road in the big eastern cities; three months In Boston; four
months in Philadelphia; four months In Chicago, and a long run in England
"THE BUBBLE is a tried and tested comedy that cannot fail."—New York
Tribune.
"THE ECBBTjE is an altogether wholesome and lovable play."—New York
Journal.
This play was enjoyed by a large crowd last evening and will be repeated again Saturday evening. This change was made necessary when it
. was found that the date ot November 2S had been previously assigned
Beaverton. To compensate Clare people for any possible inconvenience
due to the change in dates the Lyceum people very kindly offered to give
Clare two dates without extra charge. It is hoped tomorrow evening an
other large crowd will take advantage of this opportunity to see this
popular play. Season tickets for the remaining four numbers on the
Lyceum Course are 90c.  Single admissions. 50c and 25c.
to be able-to get his entire supply of
eggs from purebred and certified
flocks in the Clare section. He will
pay ten cents per dozen more "than
the market price for these "eggs.
This hatchery will be a distinct advantage to everyone in Clare and
vicinity, for it has been the history of
every community having such an industry that the market price of eggs
is always from six to ten cents higher
than in other places.
This is easily explained, for the
hatchery encourages. the keeping of
purebred standard flocks, and these
eggs always bring a higher price on
tne market, even when not sold for
breeding purposes.
Mr. Mayer states that they will also do custom hatchery at very reasonable rates, and will have day old
chicks for sale next spring.
ATTENTION EPWORTHIANS.
Monday evening the Epworth
League cabinet met in the League
rooms. At 7:00 o'clock they sat down
to the table, which was beautiful decorated in red and white and ate the
sumptuous feast by candlelight.
A short business session was then
held. They adjourned by making a
pledge that they would make this the
best year In the League.

special. Also, there is to be a social

that have to do with the work of the

Than Ever Before.
"In spite of the general impression
that. Americans are chasers of the Almighty dollar, one of the characteristics and customs of this country
and people is to pause at least once a
year to thank God for the manifold
blessings which He bestows upon
us." This was the opening statement
made by Rev. W. W. Hurd in a
Thanksgiving Day address delivered
before the student_ body of the Clare
school Wednesday forenoon.
He gave the history of the founding of this national holiday and
enumerated the "things for which we
have to be thankful. He paid tribute
to the educational system of America
and explained the meaning and
significance of liberty when directed
by training and education for the development of character.
"We have education, culture and
refinement which makes us the greatest of all so called self governments."

detail of Construction of motor and
body, together with the standard engineering tests which are made were
shown upon the screen.
Mr. G. J. Glover of the General
Motors Corporation, had charge of
the film and also gave a talk on the
proving ground tests, which he said
was hot for the purpose of discrediting any other make of automobile,
but to discover any weakness that,
might exist in their own products,
Mr. Zemmer delivered an excellent
address on the progress and development of transportation and the servicing of cars by the General Motors
organization and dealers.
' Mr. Frank Pate, a representative of
the Chevrolet Company, said the' aim
of that organization was to secure
high grade and responsible dealers in
every community, and he congratulated the people of Clare on the efficiency of Mr. Zemmer, who sold 100
per cent of his quota of cars in August and September, and was awarded
the silver cup as the leading dealer
