LARE LOSES TO
ST. LOUIS FRIDAY
BY ONE POINT
Game Was   Excellent Exhibit of Sportsmanship Between the Two Evenly
Matched Teams.
Unleashing an efficient forward
passing attack at the very beginning
of the game, the St, Louis high school
football team toot. Glare's fast grid-
ders by surprise and scored two touchdowns early in the contest. The Clare
lads registered an equal number of
touchdowns and the final score was
14 to 13 in favor of St. Louis.
Clare won the toss and choose to
kick. St. Louis 'completed a forward
pass and*"- then lost the ball on a
fumble and Clare punted out of danger, but two long completed passes-
gave the down state lads two first
downs in succession and placed the
ball on Clare's 9 yard line, and it was
carried over on the fourth down for a
touchdown.
On an exchange of punts, Clare gained considerable ground, but a 115
yard penalty on Clare placed the
team on an equal basis and brought
the ball to midfield. A pass back from
center was fumbled and brought a
loss which the boys cut down with
two completed forward passes but it
was not enough for, a first down. St.
juouis failed to make first down and
punted, and when our lads had gained 9 yards in two downs, they fum-
*bled and St. Louis recovered the hall.
A long completed forward pass and an
end run brought the ball to Clare's 5
yard line and it was carried over for
St. Louis second touchdown.
Thayer took the kickoff and returned the ball to Clare's 37 yard line
and Johnson carried it in a running
play for 16 yards and a first down.
Thayer gained 7 yards, a pass Lahge
to Hearns was grounded and Clare
•was penalized 5 yards, for offside play.
Johnson carried the ball for 6 yanlr
and a beautiful pass Grover to Hearns
was completed and the ball was resting on the St. Louis 24 yard line. The
ball is fumbled on the first play but
recovered and Grover passed to
Hearns for the touchdown. A kick
for goal failed to go over.
St. Louis kicks off in the second
half and J-hnson took the ball. He
ran behind excellent interference for
fty yards and with something like
their usual drive the Clare boys die!
jiot again relinquish the ball until a
pass from ■ Lange to Hearns put the
hall one foot from the St. Louis goal
and Thayer went through the center
of the line for the second touchdown
and Grover kicked goal for the extir
point.
Near the close of the third quarter,
St. Louis threatened Clare's goal as
they passed to the 14 yard line, but.
Clare held them for clowns and the
ball vas punted out of danger. In the
'last i. .niter, St. Louis passed the ball
over the goal line and when Clare
took the ball on the 20 yard line,
Jo nson ran for 35 yards on the first
pkv, but -it did not count as Clare
was penalized 15 yards for holding.
Ifhis took the heart and spirit out of
tftic bard fighting Aldread-men and
tlie rest of the game consisted of a
exchange of punts with the ball near
the center of the field.
The St. Lotus team are hard fighters and were worthy opponents, exhibiting, a fine spirit of clean and
fair play, A large number of the students and townspeople were presen*.
at the game which speaks well for the
interest and sportsmanship of the
school and city.
Gladwin comes to Clare for a game
today and next week our lads journey
to Reed City.

Two years have passed since   we
laid our loved one away. Our hearts

comfortless but for the sweet thought
that:
Some glad day where flowers shall
bloom,
"Never more to fade and die,
Some glad day, beyond the tomb,
We shall meet, some golden day.

THURSTON HAS
SIXTY VARIETIES OF
GLADIOLUS BULBS
Used Spare Time to D&velope
Flowers of Unusual Beauty
and  Color-
Charles Thurston, the funeral director, has for several years been interested in the growing of gladiolus, and
has added to his stock and variety
oi bulbs each year until this summer
he has had more than sixty separate
and distinct varieties and has estab-.
lished an enviable reputation among
dealers and growers.
Mr. Thurston is very devoted to his!
undertaking business and does all,:
of his work without the aid of an
assistant. This method of operation'
prevent him from leaving his home
for any considerable length of time,
so lie has never become interested in
hunting, fishing or touring the conn-
try.
He has an appreciation for the beautiful and enjoys being out-of-doors and
he began the growing of flowers to
provide relaxation from business and
give him the recreation which a normal man desires. Mr. Thurston purchased three lots, which are located
just north of the "creek and between
McEwan and Maple streets for his
garden.
These lots were not considered to
be worth very much and had been
returned for taxes several times. The
land was sandy but Mr. Thurston
applied fertilizer to this soil and
began the growing of glads. As the
city water mains do not extend to
this property, he drove a well, built
some tanks, installed a pump which
was driven by gasoline motor and
made ditches for an irrigating system.
Mr. Thurston has all of his bulbs
gathered and placed in boxes which
he has sprayed before using, and
these "bulbs will be placed in a special
room which he.has constructed in the
basement of his home, until he begins
filling the orders which he receives
during the late winter and early
.jpring.

EAST EIGHTH STREET
In the closing hours of the October
session of the Clare county Board of
Supervisors, an appropriation of $2,-
100 wat, -liowed for the installation of
a storm sewer on east Eighth street
in the city of Ciare.
This street is a part of the county
outline of roads, and as such, is on
the mair.tainance program of the
in front of the school house for a
in front of the school hodse for a
considerable distance it is not possible to get sdfficient dranage foi" the
water, and there is a mud hole in the
summer and a plare of ice in the
winter.
A storm sewer constructed along
this -street will not onld provide drainage for the water which settles in
this low spot, but it will also aid very
materially in the maintainance of the
street. The county road commissioners will have charge of the construction, and as the survey has been made
and blue prints ready the work should
go ahead with dispatch this fall.

Tha Zemnier Motor Sales have a
very Interesting set of eight Swiss
cow bells on exhibition at their sales
rooms -on east Fofu'th street, The
bells belong to John Bringold, of
Greenwood township, and came Into
his possession at the death of his
brother in Switzerland a few years
ago. "  ■
They are* musical bells, each one tuned to a different key, and weigh on an
average of twelve pounds each. The
straps by which the bell is attached
to the neck of the cow are' about Ave
inches wide and are of the heaviest
kind of leather and very thick. As
they are now arranged in the sales
room, hanging suspended from a
beam, they make an excellent set of
chimes but one wonders at the
strength of me animal that carries
a bell of this great weight.
However, the interested thing about
the bells is the story of their uses
in Switzerland as related , by Mr.
Bringold, who is a native of that
country, coming to America when hut
a young man. Mr. Bringold states
that there is a large amount of land
in that country that is waste except
as it can be used for pasture, and that
the Swiss farmers utilize it for this
purpose.
The farmers turn their cows out
on this pasture land and one of the
sons or daughters of the farmer Is assigned to the task of herding them
throughout the grazing season. The
herdsman does not come home with
the cows but watches them during the
day and milks them night and morning at the pasture. A cooperative
cheese factory is erected at the grazing place and the milk is manufactured into cheese there, and the division
of profits is made at the close of the
season.   »
Mr. Bringold has a milk stool at
his farm that is patterned after the
kind used by the'herdsmen of Switzerland. It has only one leg and a
nail has been placed in the bottom of
this leg so that it will not slip. The
stool is strapped to the body so that
it the cow starts to walk away it will
be an easy task for the milkman or
maid to follow.

UTELT DISCOVERY OF
FIRE AT COUNTY INFIRMARY SAVES BUILDING
Keeper Henderson Has   Exciting Time Finding Blaze After
Discovery of Smoke.
The timely discovery of fire made
last week Thursday by Mr. and Mrs,
Hugh Henderson at the County Infirmary probably saved the county severjal
thousand dollars.
Just before dinner smoke was noticed in the building and a thorough
investigation was made, but nothing
could be found and it was decided
that it undoubtedly came from the
furnace door which had been opened
a short time before.
After the noon day meal it was
noticed.that the smoke was becoming
more dense and another search was
made without results. As the last
resort Mr. Henderson carefully examined the entire ceiling of the basement
with his hand on the plaster and when
he came directly under the large cook
stove heat was felt and the department from HaVrison was called. Mr.
Henderson with the use of an axe
soon found the heart of the blaze and
two large cans of chemical was used
before extinguished.
A hole in the floor nearly two feet
in diameter was the extent of the
damage.

SCENERY BEAUTIFUL
IN VARIOUS COLORS
■'   ALONG HIGHWAYS
Flowers and   Fruit   Withstand
Frost Which Turns the Aspen
and Oak to Brilliant Hues.6
For the past two weeks this north-
land of Michigan has been a scene of
rare beauty as the foliage .of the trees
nas ripened or been killed by the frost
and has been changing from a green
to gorgeous hues.
The drive from Clare to Houghton
lake has been especially beautiful and
the hills along this route present a
charming apparance. They are covered with a dense bot small growth qf
aspen* oak, tag alder and' evergreen,
and at this time of the year, the dark
red of the oak leaves, the yellow of
the aspen and the vari-colored leaves
of the tag alders and sumac against a
background of the jack pine and
spruce- make a picture difficult to describe.
The-blending of these colors on the
sides and crests of the hills seem from
a distance to give them a purple "hue
and the hundreds of travelers who
visit this section at • this time of the
year for the purpose of beholding! the
foliage that nature has so artistically
painted, often park their cars along
the highways in _rder to view these
gorgeous hills from a distance.
In several instances the killing frost
which brought relief to hay fever suffers, but did not deprive    all   the
vers of flowers and fruit of their
boquets and shortcakes.
Monday G.  W. Easier brought    to
his office a small boquet of phlox of
two varieties and    different    colors,
the tender petals and foliage are free
from discoloration by frost. *
Jasper Snider also brought several
branches of the ever bearing red raspberries which were heavily loaded
with blossoms, green and red fruit. He
stated that last fall he and Mrs. Snider
picket several quarts of fruit from
these bushes after snow began to fall.

HO IN CITY
Wednesday  Sixty   Dealers
and   Service   Men Hear
Talks to Benefit Public.
Frank Pate and William Powers, of*
Flint, Chevrolet factory representatives, were in charge of "a service!
meeting which was held in the K, of P
hall in Clare, Wednesday afternoon,
and which was attended by sixty
Chevrolet dealers and service 1:ore-
men.
^The principal address was. delivered
■>y C. G. Bouton of Flint, who is the
zone parts and service manager. In his,
opening remarks, Mr. Bouten referred"'
to the phenomenal success of the
Chevrolet Motor 'Company which is
due largely to the work and organizing 'ability of Mr. R. H. Grant, Vice
President in charge of Chevrolet sales,
who came to the Chevrolet four years
ago from the Frigidaire department of
the General Motors Corporation, and
President Knudsen.
Mr! Bouten gave the service men
valuable information on the general
plan of Chevrolet service, and informed them that every authorized service
garage would be carefully inspected at
least ohec oach year in order that they
might ue assisted in keeping the proper lay-out of labor saving tools.
The speaker said:   "The Chevrolet
•~alizes that with the large number of
ars which they now have on the road,
he traveling public cannot be held up
'or  parts  or    inexperienced    service
•en." He said the slogan of his de-
It* "tment was, "Wherever   the   road
leads there will be Chevrolet service."
This meeting was held in Clare because of the adequate entertainment
facilities in the City, and the splendid Chevrolet organization and success
of the Zemmer Motor Sales.

raising have proved to be the most
