GLADWIN HELD SCORELESS
DURING FRIDAY'S GAME
Seven Innings Ended With 4-0
Score. Reed City to Play
Clare Monday.   „
The Clare high school baseball team
continued their winning streak by
blanking the Gladwin high team on
the local diamond last Friday after
noon, the final score for the seven iu-
niilg game being 4 to 0.
It was a very disagreeable day for
a ball game, with a strong, cold wind
blowing, which made the pitching
very difficult and, the fieding uncertain, but Coach Aldread's men ac-
quited themselves like veterans, and
did not seem to mind the .weather for
they played a very superior brand of
baseball.
. Joslin pitching for Clare allowed the
visitors but four hits, and only one
Gladwin player reached third base,
and only four arrived at second during
the entire game. The locals garnered
eight hits off the visitjng pitcher. Otis
Stanley relieved Joslin in the last part
of the seventh.
The Reed City game scheduled for
today on the local diamond was postponed until McUiday.,. The preliminaries of the district high -scnool
track meet are being held at .Mt.
Pleasant this afternoon.

Large Structure in Ruins

Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the large forty by eighty foot barn
on the Frank Dalton farm, located
three miles southeast of Clare, about
ten o'clock Tuesday night, causing- a
loss estimated at ?4,500, which is
partially covered by insurance.
Mr. Daltou was at home but had not
been in the barn sinc^ chore time in
the early evening, and Mrs. Dalton
was at Clare' Neighbors discovered
the blaze and gave the alarm. .•
The Clare rural fire truck was driven rapidly to the farm and the firemen gave all possible assistance, hut
there was no chance to save the building. The cattle and horses were released from the stanchions and stalls
and driven out of the burning building, but several hogs were burned, as
well as about thirty tons of loose hay
aud various farming tools.
The fire furnished an illumination
that could he seen for miles and several hundred automobiles were driven
to the scene, the roads being blocked
for a distance of half a mile.

Where all nature smiles a welcome
And where life is at its best, -
For there always comes a yearning
When the evening shadows fall
And we'll never be contented      Ai £

TESIS TO STRESS
PROFITS IN CORN
Aim to Meet Greater Production Costs due to Borer Glean-
up Practices with High-
yielding Varieties,
An extensive program to show that
farmers can continue to grow corn
profitably, in spite of the European
corn borer and greater production
costs due to clean-Up work, is being
launched this spring by the farm crops
department of Michigan State College.
More than 40 corn variety demonstrations will be conducted in cooperation
with comity agricultural agents and
leading farmers throughtout the state.
The plan is to meet increased production costs due to the corn borer
with high-yiefding corn, varieties. It
is estimated that an increased yield
of three bushels of corn to the acre
will more than compensate farmers
for their, extra labor in combatting the
pest, In southeastern Michigan, Clement's White Cap has outyielded its
nearest competitor by seven bushels
to the acre.
In Lenawee, Monroe, and Branch
counties, tests have shown that M. A.
C. Yellow' Dent produces more than
the average corn grown in central
and southern Michigan. In the Thumb
district, Pickett corn has been a consistent leader. Further north, Golden
Glow seems best adapted. Duncan
corn for southern Michigan, - Polar
Dent for the southern and central
part, and Jewett's Yellow Flint for
the northern counties, are other dependable -varieties.
By conducting the demonstrations
over a three year period, it is believed that reliable information will be
obtained which will enable farmers to
Select the variety of corn that will
give them the highest yield of sound
grain and make it possible for them
to continue growing corn at a profit,
even under corn borer conditions.

Claims   Lead   Poisoning
Killed Hundreds  During Past Few Weeks.
Wild dueks are dying by the hundreds at Houghton lake this spring
according to reports from various
points around the lake. So numerous
have been the dead birds found along
the shore an:l rren floating upon the
water that the report owners and
sportsmen habe become seriously
alarmed. The matter was brought to
the attention 0 ih§ pojitervation De-
day afternoon, May 16th, at the home
sent to the lalte to investigate the
cause, tfpon opening the craws of
several dead ducks it was found that
death was caused by lead poisoning.
The ducks, principally blue bills, in
diving in the mud for food are picking
up loads of shot which in turn eats
away the lining of their craws. In one
duck opened by Roy Carr were found
186 pellets. Houghton lake has long
been- a duck hunting lake and perhaps
6U no other lake in the United States
h'as there been more shooting done
than on this lake and it has been estimated that tons and tons of fine
shot cover the bottom of the lake;
especially around the rice and weed
beds. More ducks are resting on
Houghton lake this spring on their
northward flight than have been seen
in a number of years.—Roscommon

The surprise which had been
promised for this meeting proved to
be a visit of the Clare high school
baud. This musical organization-
which was started les3 than one year
ago played several numbers with a
confidence that it born of hard and
long practice, and their work was
proof of the hard work and patience
.of their director, George ' Boyd. It
was truly inspiring to see these boys
and girls taking such an interest, in
this work, and the dinner guests all
rose and applauded as the band
marched out, as an expression of their
appreciation and the assurance of
their continued support of the institution. " ■ i
F, W. Bcrnt of Flint, who is branch
manager of the General Motors Acceptance Corporation of New York,
was a visitor and spoke of the work

time.
It was a very interesting and entertaining meeting, and there was at

SERVICE THAT ADDS MILES
TO FIRESTONE TIRES
(By Jas. A. Clute, Local Firestone
Service Dealer.)
Tire service rendered by Firestone
dealers is designed to save you money
and serve you better. Thousands of
motorists have learned from experience that this service is responsible
for many extra miles from each Firestone Tire.
In the first place, a Firestone service dealer uses.-Firestone equipment
and the Firestone method of tire repairing. That is why it is possible to
guarantee results from every job that
is undertaken.
Firestone Tire Service includes:
checking air pressure, aligning
wheels, inspecting rims, Inspecting
tires and giving helpful advice. Every
detail is handled hy men thoroughly
familiar with Firestone principles.
They know they have a reputation for
quality and" dependability to up-hold,
and they take pride in doing; the "best
work.
Every car owner should avail- himself of the opportunity that is offered
to regularly check up on the condition
of his tires. If he. did this, he would
not only save money on repair bills,
but would get many extra miles of
trouble-free service from his tires.
