ROD AND GUN CLUB
STUDYING U. S.
FISH METHODS
Considering Installing Pool
To Grow Trout to Size
To Protect Selven.
,For more than twenty %years, local
jjermen and sportsmen have cooperated with the state and national
fish hatcheries in the planting of
young iish in the streams and lakes
In the vicinity of the city of Clare,
and It is estimated that during that
time there has been an average of
half million trout planted, annually.
Most of these flsh are no more than
advanced fry or small fiugerllngs.,
■when received at Clare, and it is the
opinion of the local sportsmen that
■when they are placed directly in open
pools or in the lakes or streams they
either fall a pray to the largest flsh,
or not being able to accept food readily, they do not survive. This opinion
of the local men is confirmed In publications which have been issued by
the Bureau of Fisheries of the United
. States Department of Commerce.
The propagation of fish in our lakes
and streams is closely allied to the
most important" industry in this section of the state. We are situated at
the edge of the best resort country of
Michigan, and with more than one
hundred lakes, in Clare county and
numerous streams, we have assets
v lujrui which we may some time realize
'-'sTOat returns".
However, this depends to some extent on the flsh we are able to offer
to the summer visitor, for if our
lakes and streams are barren of flsh,
the recreation seeker will go some
where else to build his summer home
or pitch his tent, and these great
natural resources which are ours,
will no longer pay their dividends to
the business interests of Clare,
■ Experts in flsh culture state that
better results are achieved when
young Iish received from a hatchery
In April or May, are held in troughs
until sometime in July, and then liberated in a large rearing pool. They
should be kept in these pools until
they are from three to 'four Inches in
length, when they are large enough
to care for themselves in obtaining
food, and also protect themselves from
their natural enemies in the lake or
strea'm.
VThe Clare County Rod and Gun
JSVao of this city has been in correspondence with the national Bureau
of Fisheries, and have received bulletins from that department in which
is given the plan of co-operative
nurseries and rearing ponds, and history of some which have been in
operation for two years.
From' the information already received, and the specifications included
in the pamphlets issued by the
Bureau, it appears that Clare is ideally situated to take care of the trout
received frcta the hatcheries until
they are of sufficient size to be placed
in the lakes and streams.. Projects
of the character require the co-operation of all of the citizens of a community, and the entire matter will no
doubt be taken under advisement by
local organizations in the near future,
and^ some plan evolved whereby rearing jKSmds in charge of a caretaker
mr-y^be had to assist in propagating
flsh for our beautiful lakes and
streams.
CLUB WORK INDDCES
HABITS OF SUCCESS
* 	
Thousands qf Rural Youngsters
in Michigan Trained in Business Principles.
That the boy or girl who completes
a project in boys and girls club work;
requires lessons in self discipline,
comes into contact with the fundamental rules of business .conUuct, and
goes a few steps toward the formation i
of the habit of success,' is the. summation made by the M. S- C. state
leader of boys and girls :.clubs in his
annual report.
Last year, 17,913. Michigan -boys and
girls started <club projieots -and .18,014
completed their work.
In recognition of the -value of the
training given to rural youngsters,
club work has been actively assisted
by business men's and women's:
clubs, by public and private rural
organizations, by fair associations, by
state and .-county 'bankers' m'san'iza-
tiohs, by railway companies, .by the
Smith-Hughes agricultural teachers,
and by many other groups and individuals.
A. G. Kettunen, Michigan state leader of boys- and girls clubs, believes
that, although the primary purposes
of the work is to show the possibility
of success upon the farm, the training will be available to the boys and
girls later in either city or rural life.
The 1928 plans for state club work
include the organization of 1,900 clubs
with 20,000 boys and girls enrolled,
with club projects in SO of the, 88
counties in Michigan,
GOVERNOR SAYS TOURIST
TRADE IS WORTH MORE
THAN UMBER INDUSTRY
YGWG PEOPLE TAKE
UNIQUE METHOD
MT PARENTS HERE
(By E, M. T, Service)
The following editorial 'was clipped
from tha Cheboygau Daily Tribune
and is a "pat" statement of facts:
Gov. F. W. Green's statement, at
Owosso that "the tourist trade of
Michigan will be worth more to state
than the lumber Industry at its
height," is neither overly optimistic:
nor without sound basis In fact. The
lumber industry in its palmiest days
produced about $70,000,000 annually,
me governor pointed out, whereas last'
year, more than 5,000,000 people registered in the Michigan state parks.
And, whereas the lumber industry
was one whose growth depleted
natural resources, the tourist trade is
one, which as it grows, will bring
ever increasing volumes of -"new
money" into Michigan.
Michigan has no tourist and resort
•'boom." No boom is in sight But
the growth has been steady and
healthy. Tourists and resorters have
been coming to Michigan because
;ney were really interested, not because of the ramifications of high
pressure real estate salesmen. They
have found values of resort property
sane and sound, and most of them
have learned to sing the praises of
the north woods.
Development of the vast resources
north of the straits is just beginning.
Possibilities for the future are unlimited.
THREE CHILDREN
STRICKEN IN ONE
HOME ATFARWELL
Neighboring Village Threatened -with Epidemic of
Diphtheria Thought
Under Control.
The people of the village of Farwell
and surrounding territory were enshrouded with f ear last iveek when it
was announced by medical authority
that diphtheria "was in their friidst. j
Several members of the family of
Mr. and Mrs. Oral Sdmerg. were ill
with wbat was supposed ■• to be
streptococcic sore throat. Dr. Lamb
was in attendance and latter Dr. W.
F. Clute of this city was summoned.
The cases were immediately taken up
with medical authorities of the state
and wb.0 pronounced it diphtheria.
All precautions were taken at once
to avoid spreading of the malady,
public gatherings forbidden, churches
and the public schools closed • until
March 5th or longer if necessary,
Three children, Dorothy, Oral, Jr.,
and Eva Bernadine, were taken from
the home within four days. We understand that other members of the
family who were ill are gaining nicely, and, with tlie exception ot a neighbor, Mr. Lathrope and daughter, who
also,, are under quarantine, no others
have been reported sick from the disease.
Dorothy Jane Somers passed away
February 22nd at the age of nine
years, eleven months and five days.
Funeral services were neld from the
Miller Undertaking parlors Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Stratton

eemetery at Clare.
Oral Laurie Somers, age eight years
and four days, passed away February
24th, and a younger sister, Eva Bernadine, age four years, seven months
and twenty-two days, passed away
February 25th. Services for' both
children were .held Monday afternoon
from the Miller Undertaking parlors
at Farwell, Rev. Mrs. Henry House
conducting prayer services, and the
little forms laid to rest side by side
in a little grave with the older sister

, ■ Shortly after all trains northbound
had departed, several young people
employed at Lansing decided they
would, like to spend the week end
with their parents and friends in
Clare. Getting the consent of their
employers for an early leave of absence, Frank Petchnik, Miss Mayme
Stevens and sister, Mrs. Leulla Anderson, left the Capital city about three
o'clock Saturday afternoon on a hiking; exposition. Meeting very big-
hearted motorists they rode with ten
diffecent parties with only short hikes
between tfmes,. until with in a few
miles of itheir home city when they
pleased to hear the voice of the City
Marshall- who picked them up and
landed them :Safe at their respective
homes. On their return Sunday afternoon, they were even more fortunate as the Marshall again took theta
as far as Alma and here they met a
party motorist going to St, JohnB and
. " they report arriving at their destination with their usual good fortune ot
their "trip. We expect to flee these
young people more often in the future.

food, outdoor life, expert medical and
dental attention, comfortable clothing
and free transportation to the camp
and return home are offered the young
men who qualify for these camps.

Feat    .Terminating    With
Scores of Ten to  Five
Witnessed by Fans.^ .
The last game of the Clare high
school basketball schedule was played
at St. Louis last Friday night, and resulted in a victory for Clare by the
score of 10 to 5.
Clare had plenty of chances to score
in the first half If they had been able
to locate the hoop, but they seemed
unable to drop them in, and they only-
had three points to their credit at the
end of the half. However their defense was so tight that their opponents did not score during the period.
Our boys did a little better on their
basket shooting In 'the last half, and
with excellent team work and good
passing kept -their opponent's score
down. It was an interesting game,
but not particuliarly fast and Clare
was never in any danger of being defeated.
Coach Aldread's men closed the season with but two defeats in fourteen
games played and having1 scored 383
points to their opponents 223, or an
average of 27 points to their opponents 15.
W. E. CURRIE BUYS
MOST UP-TO-DATE
FARM MACHINERY
Thompson   and   Wilkinson
Agency To Fill Largest
Individual Order Ever
Placed in City.
W, E. Currie has purchased from
the Thompson and Wilkinson-agency,'
a McCorniick-Deering, Harvester-
Thresher combined, for use on his
large farm south and west of Clare'
This machine is of the very latest
and most improved type of grain
handling machinery, and is illustrative of the wonderful progress and advancement since 1833 when Obed Hus-
sey of Maryland invented the first
grain reaper, which was perfected by
Cyrus McCormick in 1834, but did not
come into general , use until many
years after,  • , ,     (      '
From the cradle, hand r,ake and
flail, to this modern machine whic'fi
cuts a ten'foot swath and threshes
the grain as fast as it is cut, is the
history of agricultural progress in
this section of Michigan over a period
of half a century..
As the grain is threshed, the weed
seeds ore removed, and delivered into
a separate bag instead of being scattered about the field, and the grain
goes into a thirty bushel tank which
can be dumped into a wagon box. The
straw is scattered, to be left on the
field for fertlizer, or gathered with
side delivery rake and hay loader,
The advantages claimed ' for this
method of handling grain are that it
eliminates waste and cost of handling,
by having- one crew for harvesting
and threshing instead of two, and p-ar-
mits the farmer to let Mb grain stand,
in the field until it tests around
thirteen to fourteen percent moisture
before cutting. The best authorities
state that grain in this condition will
keep in the bin or may be delivered
directly to the elevator,
Mr. Currie also purchased a 15-30
International tractor as for motive
power, and these machines are to be
delivered about May first.
With these orders Mr. Currie is replacing some of the farm equipment
which he lost when the large tool
shed Was consumed by fire on hii
Vernon farm last fall.

FIRE DEPARTMENT RE-.
SPOND TO FOUR CALLS
Damaged Slight in Each Instance
As Alarms Were Given Be-   .
fore Much Headway
Was Gained.
The alarm sounded Friday morning
calling the boys to the Style Shoppe,
owned' by Mrs, 'Elsie Howlett, where
they'found a fire in the rear room of
tlie building. It was extinguished before the blaze had done any great
amount of damage.
An oil stove explosion at the home
of D. Ward on South McEwan street,
Monday noon caused considerable excitement. The blaze was put out before the fire department arrived.     '
Tuesday morning about nine o'clock
the boys, responded in their usual
promptness to a call at the residence
of Wm, H. . Cole on west Seventh
street, where sparks from the chimney had ignited the wooden shingles
and a fair sized hole was burned in
the roof.
Barely back from this run a still
alarm y/os given and five boys rushed
to the farm residence of Ralph Brown
in Vfcrncn, better known as the Chas.
Lee farm, where the basement was
so filled with smoke that the fighters
wc-re cblig'e.d to use masks. Upon discovering the flrei Mrs.' Brown, who
was alone with her youngest child,
drove to the nearest telephone three-
quarter mile distant, aiid gave the
alarm, aud with their prompt response
the damage was confined to about
?200.
The city of Clare are indeed very
fortunate to have such a live-wire
bunch of men in this organization as
their faithfullness has saved property
owners many hundreds of dollars, and
the operators at the Michigan Bell
Telephone Co. .exchange are very
courteous as to the exact locations of
fires saving any delay which Is also
% great asset to our city.

REVIVAL MEETINGS DRAW
GOOD ATTENDANCi
The .second weak of meetings at
Center church, Rosebush, finds attendances and interest- increasing
The powerful sermons of this paste:--
evangelist sound depths in Christian
thinking that are vital to Christian
living. The 'song service each nigtu.
is a popular part of these services.
It is expected that the meetings will
close with the S-anday morning service when Rev. Mayhew will bring the
message. Services at 7 slow time
each evening and at 10:30 Sunday
morning.
At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon drillers for the Pure Oil company at the
test well east of Mt. Pleasant broke-
thru into the Dundee oil sand at 3,-
554 feet. Before tho tools could be
removed from the hole over 350 feet
of oil stood iu the pipe and in 8 3-4
hours had reached the surface ar*d
was flowing into storage tanks.
Those who are iuterestSa and have
watched closely the development of
the well say that their fondest hopes
have been realized and that It Is now
a certainty that a most promising
field has been discovered.
A geologist at the well Sunday ex-
pressed himself as being certain that
a pool covering from 8,000 to 12,000
acres in area had been found.
While definite predictions as to the
quantity of oil in the pool cannot be
made it was said last night by an
authority on oil production that the
oil sand will average from 50 to 60
feet in depth and that gas is present
in sufficient quantities to force a fine
flow, estimating the ga^ at 50,000 to
75,000 cubic foet.
Other'wells in Michigan have found
oil indications in the Dundee strata
but it said that no well in the state
has struck as promising a pool as the
one found last Sunday. Oil men
seem to agree tnat when a quantity
of oil is found in the Dundee it nearly always holds its production for a
longer time and yields oil steadier
than the shallower sands.
The enthusiasm of all those interested in the oil development over .
the outcome of the first test well in
th district points to a rise in land
values for surrounding acreage and
possibly a rush of outside buyers to
speculate.
Two or three years ago leasing of
land in the vicinity of the present
test well was started by agents for
the Pure Oil company. Today this
concern has in the neighborhood of
80,000 acres under contract and other
concerns and individuals probably
hold leases on 25,000 acres or more,
The present drilling was started as
a wildcat test well with the knowledge
that the big oil find might be lo'cated
anywhere within a radius of several
miles in any direction.
At 1134 feet the top of the Marshall
sand, the first oil bearing stratum
was located. The product at this
level was black in color and not of
especially good quality altho present
«ti considerable quantity. Several
showings of oil were found between
this and the Traverse sand at a depth
of a little over 3,000 feet where a fine
grade of tbe black gold was located
and in quantities that are uncertain
but believed to be good. It was planned to go back to the Traverse sand
and shoot had the Dundee prove'n
dry.
The history of the well, showing at
least seven oil finds above the Dundee, helps to strengthen the belief
chat a most promising field has been
located.
The drill had only gone into the oil
sand about one foot^ when they withdrew it and storaga tanks ordered
from Saginaw and as'soon as they are
ready to receive the flow the drill will
be sent two or three feet deeper.—^
