McCrary and Barnes Were
Out-of-town Speakers
On Program.
REPRESENTATIVE CAT-
LAGHAN SLATED FOR
MARCH MEETING.
Sixty of the business and professional men of Clare attended the
Chamber of Commerce dinner at the
Phelps Cafeteria, Monday evening,
and partook of the excellent meal
Which was served by Mrs. Nora J.
Barnes, the proprietor of the restaurant.
The Scotch . band, a volunteer
musical organization, composed of
business men who were one time
members of a city band, but who play
only at Chamber of Commerce or
similar community gatherings, furnished- music for the occasion.
.President, T. Carl Holbrook, introduced the several speakers and announced the program which followed
the regular routine business of the
organization.
Rev. W. W. Hurd gave a very complete and comprehensive explanation
of the nwch discussed cruiser bill
which has been before Congress during this present session.
C. M, McCrary of the Michigan
State College extension department,
who is making a tour of Clare county
during the seed and crop improvement campaign Avhich is being held
under, the direction of County Agri-
Cultural agent, Paul Gibson of Harrison, was present, and talked briefly
on the subject of potato growing.
Mr. McGrary is an expert on the
selection and growing of potatoes
and he stressed the need of raising
the standard of this important farm
.crop in Michigan if this state is to
hold its rightful place anion's the
potato growing states ot the country.
The speaker stated that Clare
county is particularly adapted both
in climate and soil to the growing of
potatoes, and he urged the co-operation and support of the business men
in encouraging the farmers of the
county ,to raise -more and better potatoes.
The principal speaker of the evening was C. C. Barnes, dean of men
and registrar at Central State Teachers College at Mt. Pleasant. Mr.
Barnes subject was, 'The attitude of
a Chamber of Commerce in a community" towards higher education."
Mr. Barnes complimented the
people of Clare on the interest which
they had taken in higher education,
•especially as it was related to the
school with which he was connected,
not only in the large number of students which go to that institution
each year, but also in the interest
which the people of the community
have always taken in the. special programs and work of the college.
The speaker emphasized the need
of education in this age when specialists are in great demand and-assured this group of men that there is
great reward, to be had in assisting
young people in securing preparation
for life's work.
Referring to his own experience,
Mr. Barnes stated that he had been
actively engaged in educational work
ih college for more than twenty-five
years and during that time had helped in guiding the destiny of more
than fifteen thousand young men, and
he knew there was great satisfaction
iu that work.
Mr. Barnes said that as purchasing
agent for the college, he had gained
valuable experience in his contact
with salespeople, and that he felt that
he might be classed as a merchant
and therefore qualified to talk about
business relations to other merchants.
The speaker said that the old days
of business competition was past and
it was now a question of co-operation
of the home merchants to combat the
chain stores and catalogue houses. As
illustrating the*spij'it of modern cooperation in business, Mr. Barnes related an incident of where a merchant
was temporarily out of some article
which the customer desired and he
referred "him to his competitor who
kept the, goods in stock.
Mr. Barnes said* that his experience
as a purchasing agont also taught
him that ability to buy right was very
important to the profits of a business,
and if the merchant would sell for
cash, the overhead of the business
will be cut down thereby increasing
the percentage of profit.
The meeting was a very interesting
and enthusiastic one and gave promise of a good • year for the organization. Tlie next regular meeting of
the Chamber will be 'held on the second Monday evening of March, and,
State Representative, Miles Callag-
han,' of Reed City, will be, the speaker.
SUNDAY BLAZE
DESTROYS BARN
Firemen Show Excellent Ability
In Laying Long Line of
Hose. >
A barn belonging to 0. H.* Breen!
and located just at the rear of his
residence on the hill at the extreme
end of east Fifth street, was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon, causing
a ioss estimated at $800 •'and which
was covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and when the alarm was turned in,
the entire structure was a mass ot
flames. The department made a
quick run and laid the hose from tho
hydrant more than twelve hundred
feet distant in a surprisingly short,
time, and with the aid of the booster
pump on the truck soon had two lines
of hose beside the chemicals plying
on the flames.
Fortunately there was very little
wind blowing at the time of the fire
and it was from the south, so that the
sparks were carried to the east of the
house instead of over it.
While it -was not possible to save
the barn, the fire lads kept the flames
subdued to such an extent that none
of the other buildings were in danger
at any time, and a chicken coop directly at the rear of the burning
building and not more than twenty
feet distant, was saved by them.

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
. If you have a gray haired mother
In the old home or far away,
Sit down and write the letter ,
You have put off day by day,
Don't wait until her tired steps
Reach Heaven's pearly gates,
But show her that you thought ot
her.
Before- it is too late.
If you've a tender message
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today,
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait?
So make your loved ones happy
Before it is too late.

JUDGE RAY HART
According to law the primary would
have been held on March 6th, but as
there is no contest, Judge Hart will
be declared nominated without the
formality of a vote.
'Judge Hart had given universal
satisfaction throughout the Twenty-
first Judicial Circuit comprising the
counties of Clare, Isabella and Midland, in the discharge of his duties
as a public servant. His ability, demonstrated during his several terms of
office, ranks him among the leading
circuit judges of the state. He has'a
rare sense of justice and his legal
interpretations are based on the assumption that all laws are supposed
to make the administration of justice
possible.
COYOTES REPORTED
IN CLARE COUNTY
Owners, of VanHorn -Sheep
Ranch Reports Loss of Thirty-
two"Lambs This Winter.
Deputy Game Warden Eugene Pettit has been investigating a report
made by the owners of the Van Horn
sheep ranch in Freeman township,
Clare county, to the effect that thirty-
two lambs have been missed from
that ranch during the present winter.
Mr. Pettit has reported that some
of the carcasses of the missing lambs
have been found, and it is very probable that some of them were killed
by coyotes, although a few of them
may have been slain by bear during
the early part of the winter. s
Coyotes are becoming quite numerous in this section of the Btate and
several have been seen in Clare
county recently although none have
been reported as captured or killed.
■Frank Newsom of Lake George, reported to Mr. Pettit that he had seen
a coyote while out hunting during
the rabbit season and had shot at the
animal but missed.
With Clare county rated as one of-
the best sheep grazing counties in
the Jower peninsula of Michigan, the
presence of coyotes within its boundaries is a serious.menace to one of
the important farming industries of
this section of the- state, and a state
trapper might well be assigned to
this work of exterminating the
animals.

NEW ROAD ON U. S. 27: ■
SINKS SIX FEE!
Heavy Weight of New Dirt on
Mucky Swamp Held .
. Responsible.
A portion of. the road bed on trunk-
line highway XI. S. 27 ■ at the curves
eight miles north of this city -sank
about six feet last Friday, thus neces-
siating a detour two- miles east on the
Cornwell farm road.
To eliminate the dangerous curves
on this road, a cut is > being ' made
through the hills and, the dirt that is
removed is being used fpr "fills and
this gracing*is, parallel to the road
that has given way.
The increased weight on the mucky
soil at this point is probably responsible for the sink hole, ; The public
are in' no ways being inconvenienced
by the detour as the Cornwell farm
road is a splendid highway,; and the
detour only adds four miles to the
mileage between Clare and Harrison.

Hurd gave a very complete and comprehensive explanation of the nwch discussed cruiser bill which has been before Congress during this present session. C. M, McCrary of the Michigan State College extension department, who is making a tour of Clare county during the seed and crop improvement campaign Avhich is being held under, the direction of County Agri- Cultural agent, Paul Gibson of Harrison, was present, and talked briefly on the subject of potato growing. Mr. McGrary is an expert on the selection and growing of potatoes and he stressed the need of raising the standard of this important farm .crop in Michigan if this state is to hold its rightful place anion's the potato growing states ot the country. The speaker stated that Clare county is particularly adapted both in climate and soil to the growing of potatoes, and he urged the co-operation and support of the business men in encouraging the farmers of the county ,to raise -more and better potatoes. The principal speaker of the evening was C. C. Barnes, dean of men and registrar at Central State Teachers College at Mt. Pleasant. Mr. Barnes subject was, 'The attitude of a Chamber of Commerce in a community" towards higher education." Mr. Barnes complimented the people of Clare on the interest which they had taken in higher education, •especially as it was related to the school with which he was connected, not only in the large number of students which go to that institution each year, but also in the interest which the people of the community have always taken in the. special programs and work of the college. The speaker emphasized the need of education in this age when specialists are in great demand and-assured this group of men that there is great reward, to be had in assisting young people in securing preparation for life's work. Referring to his own experience, Mr. Barnes stated that he had been actively engaged in educational work ih college for more than twenty-five years and during that time had helped in guiding the destiny of more than fifteen thousand young men, and he knew there was great satisfaction iu that work. Mr. Barnes said that as purchasing agent for the college, he had gained valuable experience in his contact with salespeople, and that he felt that he might be classed as a merchant and therefore qualified to talk about business relations to other merchants. The speaker said that the old days of business competition was past and it was now a question of co-operation of the home merchants to combat the chain stores and catalogue houses. As illustrating the*spij'it of modern cooperation in business, Mr. Barnes related an incident of where a merchant was temporarily out of some article which the customer desired and he referred "him to his competitor who kept the, goods in stock. Mr. Barnes said* that his experience as a purchasing agont also taught him that ability to buy right was very important to the profits of a business, and if the merchant would sell for cash, the overhead of the business will be cut down thereby increasing the percentage of profit. The meeting was a very interesting and enthusiastic one and gave promise of a good • year for the organization. Tlie next regular meeting of the Chamber will be 'held on the second Monday evening of March, and, State Representative, Miles Callag- han,' of Reed City, will be, the speaker. SUNDAY BLAZE DESTROYS BARN Firemen Show Excellent Ability In Laying Long Line of Hose. > A barn belonging to 0. H.* Breen! and located just at the rear of his residence on the hill at the extreme end of east Fifth street, was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon, causing a ioss estimated at $800 •'and which was covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown and when the alarm was turned in, the entire structure was a mass ot flames. The department made a quick run and laid the hose from tho hydrant more than twelve hundred feet distant in a surprisingly short, time, and with the aid of the booster pump on the truck soon had two lines of hose beside the chemicals plying on the flames. Fortunately there was very little wind blowing at the time of the fire and it was from the south, so that the sparks were carried to the east of the house instead of over it. While it -was not possible to save the barn, the fire lads kept the flames subdued to such an extent that none of the other buildings were in danger at any time, and a chicken coop directly at the rear of the burning building and not more than twenty feet distant, was saved by them.

COYOTES REPORTED IN CLARE COUNTY Owners, of VanHorn -Sheep Ranch Reports Loss of Thirty- two"Lambs This Winter. Deputy Game Warden Eugene Pettit has been investigating a report made by the owners of the Van Horn sheep ranch in Freeman township, Clare county, to the effect that thirty- two lambs have been missed from that ranch during the present winter. Mr. Pettit has reported that some of the carcasses of the missing lambs have been found, and it is very probable that some of them were killed by coyotes, although a few of them may have been slain by bear during the early part of the winter. s Coyotes are becoming quite numerous in this section of the Btate and several have been seen in Clare county recently although none have been reported as captured or killed. ■Frank Newsom of Lake George, reported to Mr. Pettit that he had seen a coyote while out hunting during the rabbit season and had shot at the animal but missed. With Clare county rated as one of- the best sheep grazing counties in the Jower peninsula of Michigan, the presence of coyotes within its boundaries is a serious.menace to one of the important farming industries of this section of the- state, and a state trapper might well be assigned to this work of exterminating the animals.
