OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF
TOWNSHIP'S WELFARE
FOR COMING YEAR
Thomas Presley departed this -life
in Los Angeles, Cal., March 8, "coming to his grave in a full age, like as
a shock of corn cometh in his season," Job 5:26, which very fitting
scripture was used as a funeral text,
Services were held at his home' 430
west 33rd street, where only close
personal friends attended. Another
appropriate service followed at Ingle-
wood cemetery chapel, affording more
room, near which, he was laid by the
side of bis deceased wife, Annie M.
Presley,
Deceased was born in Canada, January 28, 1842, of sturdy English and
Scotch parentage. Being one of the
oldest of a large family, he * entered
into active service of life, when only
a boy of twelve years, taking his
father's team of horses, and going- to
the lumber woods, many miles away,
withstanding the rigours of a Canadian winter, to be a wage-earner for
the family, Tho, deprived of educational . advantages, he was endowed
with an indomitable spirit, which
triumphed over the trying Vicissitudes
of life, incident to pioneering, nothing
daunted his courage.
Married in early life to Annie M,
Hart and coming to Clare almost
fifty years ago, with his family, following so closely on the heels of
lumbering interests here, he purchased of Whitney and Remick what is
now known as the Beadle farm, four
miles northeast of Clare, and with
ox-team moved his family into the
lumber camps, located in the woods,
meanwhile maintaining; his family
while working with his wonted insatiable desire to- make a home, where
they lived many years, moving later
to Clare to obtain educational 'advantages for the youngest daughter,
from which place they moved to Los
Angeles, October 1911, for Mrs. Presley's health, where she passed away
in September 1913.
He was married to Miss Sabria Wallace, of Pasadena, in August, 1915,
and about two years later moved from
Los Angeles to his home in Clare on
East 4th street where they lived some
six years, enjoying the common interest of their friends aud neighbors.
On account of declining years and
Mrs. Presley's infirmity they returned
to Los Angeles Octoher 1923.
Mr. Presley suffered a very serious
sickness" over two years ago, from
which, physicially, he never fully recovered and- which seemed to ripen
him for the better World, while his
natural faculties weakened. Converted
in his youth he ever retained the
knowledge of sins forgiven and many
wilL recall his testimony. Tho not af-
jSliated with any denomination he
was an adherent of the Free Methodist church.
He leaves to mourn hiB loss a wife,
Mrs. Sahria Presley -and two daughters. Mertie E. Francisco Johnson and
Minnie M". Welch, both of Los Angeles,
also tlmee granddaughters, Rhebah
B.' McCormick, New York City, N. Y.Mildred Bennet and Marjorie Adams,
both of Lob Angeles.
He was a kind and affectionate husband and father, and greatly beloved
as a friend and true neighbor. X
TONY ACHARD JAY
RUN FOR SENATE
Organization Being Formed
Throughout 28th
District.
With the opening of the Citizens'
Military Training Camps Active "Enrollment Campaign April 1st, 2,000
applications have been received from
young men for attendance at summer
camps in the Sixth Corps Area.
Brigadier General Paul B. Malone'.
commanding Sixth Corps Area at
Chicago sounded a warning today
(Saturday) that youths of Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin must act
early if they hope to attend any of
the encampments during July- and
August. It is contemplated to train
4,300 candidates.
So great has been the -r^ish for enrollment in .all parts of i the United
States, bulking three times the enroll-
taent at this time last year, that there
is no possibility that the War Department will have unfilled vacancies to
divert to the local Corps Area as in
previous pears, it was said at Headquarters Sixth Corps Area, Chicago.
Enrollment of eligible youths will
be. continued^ throughout thej Sixth
t-orps Area, however, with the final
goal set at Six Thousand Five Hundred and Five acceptably candidates.
The last 2,205 candidates to Qualify
for the camps will form |n alternate's
list from which names will be drawn,
in the order they are received, to fill
the vacancies of principals who find
themselves unable to go.
To be eligible, youths must be ot
good moral character, of sound
physique and range from 17 to 24
years. General Malone explained
however, that younger youths whose
.seventeenth birthday will fall before
the opening of the camps are also
eligible to enroll now.
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Si'., it was
learned at Headquarters Sixth Corps
Area, Chicago, has written the War
Department endorsing the -S. M. T. C.
movement. Her letter, in part, read:
"My four sons all attended the original camp at Plattsburg. My husband
strongly approved them, They not
only prepare our young men to defend, the Nation if need should arise
but also give character and patriotism."
Numerous large corporations in various industrial fields will co-operate
with C. M. T. C officials this summer to send- delegations, of selected,
employees to camp for the full thirty-
day period,- General Malone declared.

of Agricultural industry, on the State
Department of Agriculture. Mr. Carton is also the Michigan representative on the United States Deep Waterways Commission and his subject will

careful Study to this question and is
an orator of exceptional ability.

of three major projects for the good
of the city which Should be promoted

that the Chamber of Commerce may
have an objective for the years activities.
Fred Dora will give a short talk on
the proposed organization of a Dairy
Herd Improvement Association in
Clare county,
Tho committee having the tickets

DETROIT CREAMERY
COMPANYPURCHASE
BUILDINGS1TE HERE
Mayor Thompson Instrumental in Getting Large
MilkConcern to Locate •*
in Glare.
The Detroit Creamery Company has
purchased five lots in Clare, and expect to build a milk station in the
immediate future. These lots have a
total frontage of two hundred and
fifty feet, and are located just west
of the Ann Arbor railroad, tracks,
on the old stave factory site.
Mayor- L. H„ Thompson has been In
correspondence with representatives
of the_ company for some time, and
negotations have been under way Jp
secure options on the property that
the Company desired for this plant,
for the past two weeks. Attorney T,
Carl Holbrook has been assisting Mr.
Thompson in this work, and W. H-
Caple went to Detroit last Saturday,
as the special and confidential representative of the Mappr to secure the
final option, and conclude the arrangements with the Detroit Creamery
Company.
In a" telephone conservation with
the mayor, Monday, Mr. Caple stated
that the deal had been closed, "and
everything was satisfactory with the
company. They expect to begin the
preliminary plans for the erections of
the building soon.
This is an important industry for
Clare, as it will furnish an excellent
market for milk, ancl will no doubt
prove to be an incentive for the farmers to the vicinity of Clare to increase
their dairy herds.
It has been generality understood
for several months that our fellow
citizen- Tony Achard would this' fall
be a candidate for the office of State
S&nator from the, 28th District. Following a rumor to' this effect last fall
some of our state papers published
articles relative to Achard's candidacy.
Approached by bis friends at this
time Mr. Achard neither confirmed or
denied the published reports, simply
replying that it might be considered a.
little early for him to make a definite
statement. His many friends throughout the district however considered
his failure to deny his ' candidacy
equivalent to consent to run, and during the past few months have been
busily engaged forming organiations
in the ten counties comprising the
28th district,
. Inasmuch as the southern part of
the 28th Senatorial district lias not
had an incumbent in this office for
12 years, and because the present incumbent, -Senator H. S. Karcher, of
Rose City, Ogemaw county, is now
serving his third term we feel that
the voters of Clare county should unqualifiedly and^ wholeheartedly support the movement begun elsewhere
to further interest in behalf of a
prospective local candidate. This is
said with all due respect to the present Senator, Mr. Karcher, and without knowledge by us ,as to whether or
not Mr. Karcher might be a candidate
to succeed himself for the fourth
i~me.
Mr. Achard's interest in politics is
well known to us all; For many years
he has been a member of our city
Republican Committee, and Chairman of our county Republican Committee, He is also a member of the
xOth district Republican Committee
and a member 'of the State Central
Committee. Mr. Achard was actively
engaged in the Green campaign, and
shortly following; our present Governor's inauguration he was appointed
to, membership on the Board of
managers of Michigan's State Fairs.
His steadfast friendliness for the
present state administration which appears to be reciprocated should place
him in a position to do much for his
district were he elected to the office
of Senator.
For many years Mr; Achard has
worked energetically and hard for the
Republican party. During this period
he has given freely of his time in
helping others who might be seeking
office. We feel that this may prove
to be a splendid opportunity for us
all to get-together in a spirit of reciprocation.
Representatives of Musical In*
striiment Go. "Were Present
and Emphasized Value
of Organization.
A meeting was held in the high
school auditorium Tuesday night for
all students and parents interested in
the Clare high school band. The purpose of" .the meeting was to get more
people'intere*sted in the.- band, and
'more students in the band, filling up
the- weaker sections and thus securing' a better balanced instrumentation. The meeting was opened by a
few selections by the band, and was
then turned over to Mr." Hager and
Mr. Yan Dusen, representatives of the
Hager Musical. Instrument Co. of
Grantl Rapids, who are" agents for
Hager and Conn "band instruments.
Mr, Hager has organized many high
school bands throughout the state
and is very interested .in tliem, He
first told of the value of being able to
play a musical instrument .and then
of'the resulting success of a. high
school having a good band, after
which Mr. Van Dusen demonstrated
some of the instruments.
Now, while these "men are here
primarily to sell band - instruments,
the students are in no way obligated
to buy instruments from them, "and
what we want is to have the students
get a horn some place and get in the
band. •
Some of the prospective new members of the hand are: Doherty Green,
Ruth Rassat, Frances Greer, Florence
Calkins, Gerald Callihan, Donald
Bradley, Dale Groves, Dick Groves,
Jack McAllister, Ray McAllister,
Robert Doherty, "Upton Tupper, John
White, Stanley Sutton, Philip Hochstetler.
We are glad to see so many students interested, and we hope that all
of them will soon become members
of the Clare High School Band; °

Many Clare People View
■Millions of These Fish
as They Travel Upstream to Spawn.
(H. B. Johnson) '
The twin cities' of Benzonia and
Beul'ah, located one mile apart, near
the east- end of Crystal Lake, have a
combined population, which in' normal
times is estimated at-600, and although both towns are making'-bids
for resort business, they are quiet,
peaceful "and rather staid, except
when the small but delectable fish
known as the smelt begins to -make
their annual run to the spawning
grounds in-the upper waters of Cold
Creek, and these two communities
are suddenly transformed into a city
of 6,000 people, with parking space
for automobiles at a premium.
Cold Creek is an inlet of Crystal
Lake, and runs through the town" of
Beulah. It is only about four feet
wide but the current is very swift,
and when the darkness of night
settles over the lake and stream, during the ten days of the spawning season, thousands of these fish leave the
lake, and crowd, the spring* waters Of
the creek. ' « ■ '
Iu order to give "all of the people
who desire to obtain these fish a'n
equal opportunity to secure them
from the stream, the Conservation
•Department has issued orders that
fishing shall be limited, to certain
hours and restrictions, and Conservation, officers and a detachment of
State Police are on haud to enforce
the ruling.
As th6 fish do not run until dark,
netting in the stream is not permitted until 9:30 in the evening, and the
great crowd that is composed of rich
and poor, laborer and business man,
bankers, lawyers, clergymen, farmers
and men and women from every walk
and station of life, begin very early
in the evening -£o congregate in places
Of vantage behind the Wires which
have been stretched a short distance
back from the stream, in order that
they may be ready at the given signal
to plunge into the waters, and with
net, pail, basket, shovels and even.

He was married to Miss Velma Hart of Ithaca, in 1910 and this union was blessed witii two sons, Darrald and Earl, the latter preceding him in death-'seven years. There are left to mourn his death his parents, one son, Darrald and a sister, Mrs. W. L. Whitney, of Lansing, together with many other relatives and friends.

OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF TOWNSHIP'S WELFARE FOR COMING YEAR Thomas Presley departed this -life in Los Angeles, Cal., March 8, "coming to his grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season" Job 5:26, which very fitting scripture was used as a funeral text, Services were held at his home' 430 west 33rd street, where only close personal friends attended. Another appropriate service followed at Ingle- wood cemetery chapel, affording more room, near which, he was laid by the side of bis deceased wife, Annie M. Presley, Deceased was born in Canada, January 28, 1842, of sturdy English and Scotch parentage. Being one of the oldest of a large family, he * entered into active service of life, when only a boy of twelve years, taking his father's team of horses, and going- to the lumber woods, many miles away, withstanding the rigours of a Canadian winter, to be a wage-earner for the family, Tho, deprived of educational . advantages, he was endowed with an indomitable spirit, which triumphed over the trying Vicissitudes of life, incident to pioneering, nothing daunted his courage. Married in early life to Annie M, Hart and coming to Clare almost fifty years ago, with his family, following so closely on the heels of lumbering interests here, he purchased of Whitney and Remick what is now known as the Beadle farm, four miles northeast of Clare, and with ox-team moved his family into the lumber camps, located in the woods, meanwhile maintaining; his family while working with his wonted insatiable desire to- make a home, where they lived many years, moving later to Clare to obtain educational 'advantages for the youngest daughter, from which place they moved to Los Angeles, October 1911, for Mrs. Presley's health, where she passed away in September 1913. He was married to Miss Sabria Wallace, of Pasadena, in August, 1915, and about two years later moved from Los Angeles to his home in Clare on East 4th street where they lived some six years, enjoying the common interest of their friends aud neighbors. On account of declining years and Mrs. Presley's infirmity they returned to Los Angeles Octoher 1923. Mr. Presley suffered a very serious sickness" over two years ago, from which, physicially, he never fully recovered and- which seemed to ripen him for the better World, while his natural faculties weakened. Converted in his youth he ever retained the knowledge of sins forgiven and many wilL recall his testimony. Tho not af- jSliated with any denomination he was an adherent of the Free Methodist church. He leaves to mourn hiB loss a wife, Mrs. Sahria Presley -and two daughters. Mertie E. Francisco Johnson and Minnie M". Welch, both of Los Angeles, also tlmee granddaughters, Rhebah B.' McCormick, New York City, N. Y.Mildred Bennet and Marjorie Adams, both of Lob Angeles. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father, and greatly beloved as a friend and true neighbor. X TONY ACHARD JAY RUN FOR SENATE Organization Being Formed Throughout 28th District. With the opening of the Citizens' Military Training Camps Active "Enrollment Campaign April 1st, 2,000 applications have been received from young men for attendance at summer camps in the Sixth Corps Area. Brigadier General Paul B. Malone'. commanding Sixth Corps Area at Chicago sounded a warning today (Saturday) that youths of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin must act early if they hope to attend any of the encampments during July- and August. It is contemplated to train 4,300 candidates. So great has been the -r^ish for enrollment in .all parts of i the United States, bulking three times the enroll- taent at this time last year, that there is no possibility that the War Department will have unfilled vacancies to divert to the local Corps Area as in previous pears, it was said at Headquarters Sixth Corps Area, Chicago. Enrollment of eligible youths will be. continued^ throughout thej Sixth t-orps Area, however, with the final goal set at Six Thousand Five Hundred and Five acceptably candidates. The last 2,205 candidates to Qualify for the camps will form n alternate's list from which names will be drawn, in the order they are received, to fill the vacancies of principals who find themselves unable to go. To be eligible, youths must be ot good moral character, of sound physique and range from 17 to 24 years. General Malone explained however, that younger youths whose .seventeenth birthday will fall before the opening of the camps are also eligible to enroll now. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Si'., it was learned at Headquarters Sixth Corps Area, Chicago, has written the War Department endorsing the -S. M. T. C. movement. Her letter, in part, read: "My four sons all attended the original camp at Plattsburg. My husband strongly approved them, They not only prepare our young men to defend, the Nation if need should arise but also give character and patriotism." Numerous large corporations in various industrial fields will co-operate with C. M. T. C officials this summer to send- delegations, of selected, employees to camp for the full thirty- day period,- General Malone declared. II.

HON. A. C CARTON SPEAKS AT C. OF C. MEETING MONDAY Banquet to be Held at Hotel Doherty for April Gathering Ladies Invited .The" April meeting of the Clare Chamber of Commerce will be held at the Hotel Doherty Monday evening, April 9th, following a banquet to which the members wives are -invited. A special feature of the meeting will be an address by Hon. A. C. Carton, who. is the director of the Bureau of Agricultural industry, on the State Department of Agriculture. Mr. Carton is also the Michigan representative on the United States Deep Waterways Commission and his subject will be:' "Bringing the Ocean two thousand miles inland." Mr. Carton has given careful Study to this question and is an orator of exceptional ability. President T. Carl Holbrook, has asked each member to prepare a list of three major projects for the good of the city which Should be promoted hy the organization,-and it is expected that some of these projects may be discussed, with the hope of making a selection at a future meeting, so that the Chamber of Commerce may have an objective for the years activities. Fred Dora will give a short talk on the proposed organization of a Dairy Herd Improvement Association in Clare county, Tho committee having the tickets for- this banquet in charge have reported an unusaul amount of interest being taken in the meeting and a large attendance is expected. DETROIT CREAMERY COMPANYPURCHASE BUILDINGS1TE HERE Mayor Thompson Instrumental in Getting Large MilkConcern to Locate •* in Glare. The Detroit Creamery Company has purchased five lots in Clare, and expect to build a milk station in the immediate future. These lots have a total frontage of two hundred and fifty feet, and are located just west of the Ann Arbor railroad, tracks, on the old stave factory site. Mayor- L. H„ Thompson has been In correspondence with representatives of the_ company for some time, and negotations have been under way Jp secure options on the property that the Company desired for this plant, for the past two weeks. Attorney T, Carl Holbrook has been assisting Mr. Thompson in this work, and W. H- Caple went to Detroit last Saturday, as the special and confidential representative of the Mappr to secure the final option, and conclude the arrangements with the Detroit Creamery Company. In a" telephone conservation with the mayor, Monday, Mr. Caple stated that the deal had been closed, "and everything was satisfactory with the company. They expect to begin the preliminary plans for the erections of the building soon. This is an important industry for Clare, as it will furnish an excellent market for milk, ancl will no doubt prove to be an incentive for the farmers to the vicinity of Clare to increase their dairy herds. It has been generality understood for several months that our fellow citizen- Tony Achard would this' fall be a candidate for the office of State S&nator from the, 28th District. Following a rumor to' this effect last fall some of our state papers published articles relative to Achard's candidacy. Approached by bis friends at this time Mr. Achard neither confirmed or denied the published reports, simply replying that it might be considered a. little early for him to make a definite statement. His many friends throughout the district however considered his failure to deny his ' candidacy equivalent to consent to run, and during the past few months have been busily engaged forming organiations in the ten counties comprising the 28th district, . Inasmuch as the southern part of the 28th Senatorial district lias not had an incumbent in this office for 12 years, and because the present incumbent, -Senator H. S. Karcher, of Rose City, Ogemaw county, is now serving his third term we feel that the voters of Clare county should unqualifiedly and^ wholeheartedly support the movement begun elsewhere to further interest in behalf of a prospective local candidate. This is said with all due respect to the present Senator, Mr. Karcher, and without knowledge by us ,as to whether or not Mr. Karcher might be a candidate to succeed himself for the fourth i~me. Mr. Achard's interest in politics is well known to us all; For many years he has been a member of our city Republican Committee, and Chairman of our county Republican Committee, He is also a member of the xOth district Republican Committee and a member 'of the State Central Committee. Mr. Achard was actively engaged in the Green campaign, and shortly following; our present Governor's inauguration he was appointed to, membership on the Board of managers of Michigan's State Fairs. His steadfast friendliness for the present state administration which appears to be reciprocated should place him in a position to do much for his district were he elected to the office of Senator. For many years Mr; Achard has worked energetically and hard for the Republican party. During this period he has given freely of his time in helping others who might be seeking office. We feel that this may prove to be a splendid opportunity for us all to get-together in a spirit of reciprocation. Representatives of Musical In* striiment Go. "Were Present and Emphasized Value of Organization. A meeting was held in the high school auditorium Tuesday night for all students and parents interested in the Clare high school band. The purpose of" .the meeting was to get more people'intere*sted in the.- band, and 'more students in the band, filling up the- weaker sections and thus securing' a better balanced instrumentation. The meeting was opened by a few selections by the band, and was then turned over to Mr." Hager and Mr. Yan Dusen, representatives of the Hager Musical. Instrument Co. of Grantl Rapids, who are" agents for Hager and Conn "band instruments. Mr, Hager has organized many high school bands throughout the state and is very interested .in tliem, He first told of the value of being able to play a musical instrument .and then of'the resulting success of a. high school having a good band, after which Mr. Van Dusen demonstrated some of the instruments. Now, while these "men are here primarily to sell band - instruments, the students are in no way obligated to buy instruments from them, "and what we want is to have the students get a horn some place and get in the band. • Some of the prospective new members of the hand are: Doherty Green, Ruth Rassat, Frances Greer, Florence Calkins, Gerald Callihan, Donald Bradley, Dale Groves, Dick Groves, Jack McAllister, Ray McAllister, Robert Doherty, "Upton Tupper, John White, Stanley Sutton, Philip Hochstetler. We are glad to see so many students interested, and we hope that all of them will soon become members of the Clare High School Band; ° BOOKLETS OF NEW GAME AND FISH LAWS COMPLETED Several Changes Have Been *Made and (Sportsmen Should Procure Them, According to a recent announce; ment -the 'state conservation depart- m'ena will have" a booklet setting forth a digest of .the fish and game laws for the coming season ready In "the first week in April, George R.

' SMELT RUNNING A GREAT SIGHT Many Clare People View ■Millions of These Fish as They Travel Upstream to Spawn. (H. B. Johnson) ' The twin cities' of Benzonia and Beul'ah, located one mile apart, near the east- end of Crystal Lake, have a combined population, which in' normal times is estimated at-600, and although both towns are making'-bids for resort business, they are quiet, peaceful "and rather staid, except when the small but delectable fish known as the smelt begins to -make their annual run to the spawning grounds in-the upper waters of Cold Creek, and these two communities are suddenly transformed into a city of 6,000 people, with parking space for automobiles at a premium. Cold Creek is an inlet of Crystal Lake, and runs through the town" of Beulah. It is only about four feet wide but the current is very swift, and when the darkness of night settles over the lake and stream, during the ten days of the spawning season, thousands of these fish leave the lake, and crowd, the spring* waters Of the creek. ' « ■ ' Iu order to give "all of the people who desire to obtain these fish a'n equal opportunity to secure them from the stream, the Conservation •Department has issued orders that fishing shall be limited, to certain hours and restrictions, and Conservation, officers and a detachment of State Police are on haud to enforce the ruling. As th6 fish do not run until dark, netting in the stream is not permitted until 9:30 in the evening, and the great crowd that is composed of rich and poor, laborer and business man, bankers, lawyers, clergymen, farmers and men and women from every walk and station of life, begin very early in the evening -£o congregate in places Of vantage behind the Wires which have been stretched a short distance back from the stream, in order that they may be ready at the given signal to plunge into the waters, and with net, pail, basket, shovels and even.
