of twelve, there being six boys and
six girls. He lived with her parents
on the farm where she was born until she was 27 years of age when she
went to Whibby for a few months,
and then moved to Port Huron where
' she made her home with her sister,
Mrs. M. Crawford and where during
her two years residence there she
learned the millinery trade.
When she had completed her ap-
' prenticeship in the millinery trade,
she moved to Detroit where she was
employed until her eyesight failed
and she then secured a position taking care of the two sons of Henry B.

She came to Clare in the summer
of 1882 and purchased the lots where
her residence is now located. She returned to Canada in 1884 and lived
with her father for, four years, and
returned to Detroit where she remained until 1891. That same year
she came back to Clare and' built the
house where she spent the last days
of her life.
When she moved back to Detroit in

Dear Dad and Mother:
Well as I am laying around 1
thought I better write you your weekly letter. I suppose Dad is s back to
the bake shop working again by this
time as we received a' letter from
Mamie telling us he was sick but Dad
don't stay sick/Over two or three
da^ys.
We are sure struck on California
but we can't decide to stay or go
back. I am feeling fine now and
anxious to get busy. Things are sure,
booming out here. Buildings going
up all over and that make .things look
good. Building. the best stores here
I ever saw. All fancy brick: fronts
with glazed tile.
I would like to go back arid sell my
house first before I locate here but
it' I went into something I couldn't go
back so look for ..us around the first
part of April if we don't change our
minds as we change often. Hazel
took Cal to the dentist,this morning
to get his teeth plugged. His teacher
at school said he had to have his
teeth fixed to give him good health,
he had eleven to'fill. The teacher
said he was under-nourished and
where he got so much candy he
didn't eat right and it spoiled his
teeth. They fixed his teeth for noth-.
ing. A dentist goes around and fills
all school children's teeth free. Its
pretty gootl out here, the school children get free books and schooling,
medical attention and dentist work
all free. Today the kids get their
wish. They all wished it would rain
candy and gum so.'today a Babe Ruth
airplane, flies around and. drops candy
bars and gum on little parachutes.
The kids will be glad as after school
the airplane starts. It says candy
bars for all kids—some expensive advertising.
. Hazel \ure bakes a lot of cookies,
cakes, eight dozen cookies last night
and biscuits.
Last Sunday we went to look at a
bake shop that was for sale on account of illness. It was open on Svri-
day and a fellow was tending shop,
the proprietor was in bed sick It
was on a busy boulevard where ten
thousand cars -pass daily, brand new
big Hobart cake machines and brand
new oven and things were all in good >
shape. They Wanted us to give;them
an offer. I sure would" of given them
an offer if I had decided -what to do.
They got twenty cents for cookies
and twenty-five cents for cup; cakes,
like our large size, layer cakes sixty
cents but the young fellow says they
sell twice as much on Sunday as any
day during the week and they sold
fresh eggs. He said they sold seven
cases a week and it paid the rent. It
all sounded good. He even wanted
me to come and try it one or two
weeks to see if it suited me but it
■was so far from where I'm at that 1
didn't go.
There is sure lots of opportunities
out here, if we put up a window like
we did back there. They don't -put
much in* the window, just a little dab
of this and that.
Well we are all in the best of
health and hope you pull through
the winter.
Take good care of yourselves. Come
out if you can.
Ernie and Family.
The Clare high school basketball
team won from the Evart high team
in a thrilling contest in the Clare
gymnasium last Friday night, the
final score being 22 to 15/.
Eddie hubel, coach at, Eyart, had
his lads well trained and ready fo_
the Alldread taught men, and they
started the game with a rush, scoring-
four points before the locals could
get tinder way, ' • ,
Evart played ,a close man to mar.
defense throughout the game ana
every shot at the basket that the
Clare lads attempted was made a
very difficult one through the efficient guarding of their opponents. The
visitors played with spirit and determination and Hubel is to be con*
gratulated on the splendid showing
which he has made with his team.
Although Evart started the scoring,
the locals forged ahead to end the
first period,with the big end of the 8
to 6 scbre. The second quarter was
a real battle and neither team was
able to get a basket from the field,
Clafe making their two points on
free throws and their opponents making one point in the same manner.
The half ended 10 to 7 in Clare's fa-
Waskington
^EjWHini>iiwiMi.'H>win,j.(y^
Simple arfd brave, his faith av'vOke
Ploughmen to struggle with their fate;
Armies won battles when he spoke,
And out of chaos sprang the state.
During the third quarter, the visitors tied the score at 12 all, but before
the whistle sounded for the end of
the session, the locals had annexed
another field basket to lead in the
score of 14 to 12.' The Evart lads did
not have a chance in the last quarter
and only made three points to the
Clare quintet eight.
In a game between the reserve
teams of the two schools, the locals
won by the score of-20 to. 16, but it
was by no means a 'one sided game,
for it was a real fight from start to
finish and after the first quarter
which ended 5 to 2 in Clare's favor,
the locals were never more than five
points ahead.
The Evart Junior high team defeated the Clare Junior high by the score-
of 6- to 4 in-what Was the "real contest
of the entire evening. These fellows
from the seventh and eighth grade
look like real basket ball players and
will surely give a good account d£
themselves when they get into high-
school.
These games drew the largest
crowd yet witnessed in our gym as
every seat on the main floor and in
balcony were filled. Evart team bringing with them a large number.
One of the autos carrying some ot
the players skidded to the ditch this
side of Farwell injuring one of their
best, although he was able to play
part of the game.
St. Louis high comes to Clare this
Friday for the last home game of the
season, and what should be the best
game on the local floor this year. The
visiting team will be accompanied by
a large delegation of fans and the
Clare lads should have the support ot
all of the citizens of the community.
With the new bnlcony, all may be assured of good seats at this game,
which will begin with the reserve
teams promptly at 7:15.

Almost two centuries have elapsed since the birth of George
Washington, first president of these United States of America. To
the manor born he elected to share the hard life of the colonists and
to throw his power on the side ofthose brave pioneer- souls battling
for a new freedom.
His place as "Father of his country" remains imperishable in the
archives of time. -The years hut serve to make his place in American history moife. secure.. , " ^
Without Washington's, faith, courage, ability and loyalty it is
doubtful if independence would have been achieved within another

Do You Know Your Fertilizers?
We often hear the expression, "He
knows his onions" or "There's a man
Who knows his groceries.'' Lets borrow this expression and apply it to
fertilizers. "Do you know your
fertilizers?"
Fertilizer in some form is ' being
bought and used by an increasing
number of. farmers over the state and
Ciare County* each year. A gbod
many of these men understand their
soil needs and are able to .purchase
the fertilizer that will give them*die
best results. It is not uncommon
however to find here and there a man
who has "soured" on commercial
fertilizer. Why? Probably because
some agent sold him a fancy priced
fertilizer that was not what his soil
wanted at all.. Perhaps he did not apply enough to make any appreciable
difference in the supply of plant food,
or he did, not apply the fertilizer in
the proper manner. More often however, the first two reasons at the bottom ¥of the* dissatisfaction.
The experience of the better farmers over the state is that proper
fertilizer in proper amounts has given satisfactory results and has paid;
arood dividends on the investment,
There" is a common belief that soils
in good condition do not respond to-
applications of fertilizers; that poor
or run down soils are the only ones
that respond to fertilizers. It has
been found by farmers and experimental work that fertilizer applied to
good soils pay larger dividends than
when applied to poor soils. Why?
Because the soil in good .condition is
able to make -better use of the fertilizer than the poor soil. More fertiliser is lost in thewarious leaching
processes that are • going on -in the
poor soil. This does not mean however that the poor land will not respond and make good use of1 fertilizer
but we do mean to say that the better the soil, the more dollars will be
returned for a dollar invested in fertilizer.
To help the farmer exercise judgment in buying fertilizer that is suited to his soil conditions a fertilizer
meeting has been planned, for farmers
and dealers, at Clare on Friday afternoon. March 8th. A fertilizer specialist from Michigan State College,
Extension Department -will be present to bring to farmers of this area
some of the information gained from,
experimental work and practical farm
iises of fertilizers. He will discuss'
with the farmers their soil problems
and give them expert advice on what
kinds and how much they should use.
We hope every dealer 'who sees
this notice will attend, and thereby
be of'greater service to his fertilizer
customers.

VERNON COUPLE
MARRIEDSATURDAY
Mr. and Mrs. Merle Pulcifer
Will Make Future Home
*      in Lansing.
A v.ry pretty wedding was solemnized Saturday,, February 16, at one
O'clock, at the home of Mr. and. Mrs.
Ben Loomisi of "Vernon township
when their daughter, Violet En
Loomis, was united in marriage to
Merle W. Pulcifer, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. F. Pulcifer, also of Vernon.
They were attended by Miss Fern
Willoughby, a close friend of the
bride, and Richard Teachout, a cousin
qftlxe^rqani., .*_?£„....■...&,,,.   ,.   ..».,-
Rev/ O, C. Teachout, an uncle of tlie
groom, performed the ceremony, the
ring service being used. The wedding march was played by' Miss Ilah
Pitts.
The bride was charmingly gowned
in blue silk crepe and the groom
wore a suit of conventional blue. The
room was prettily decorated with
evergreen and flowers.
Following the ceremony, a delicious dinner was served the bridal
party and guests,
Guests prefent, besides the immediate families of the couple, were
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Loomis and son,
Stewart, of Clare; Mr. and Mrs^
Claude Fordyce and daughter, Bernice
of Gilmore; Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
Pulcifer and little son, of Vernon;
Mr. .and Mrs. Bert Pitts, and Rachel
and Bernice Teachout, of Mt. Pleasant.
The happy couple wilt reside in
Lansing where the groom has been
employed by the Pikard Lumber Company for the past few years.
Mrs. Gertrude Zemmer was- hostess
to the members of the Clare Study
Club Tuesday afternoon, when Mrs
Holden, of ovu* city schools, gave c-
wonderful review of book, "The
bridge of Sam Luis Rey," written hi
.Thornton Wilder of Madison,' Wis
consin. There is not a dissendine
voice, among the. reviewers', -concerning this book. It has 'not been sur
passed during the' present epoch *anc
will be accounted among the treasures of our literature.
The scene of this' story is laid in
Peru in the 18th century, and te^lc
much of the Spanish Civilization with
which the author must have been
very familiar.
The story opens with the following
of Sam Luis Rey, "the hest bridge
in all Peru," when five travelers
were thrown into the gulf below.
Mrs.,Holden, who has a low, forceful voice, gave the history of these
travelers, in a way, so dramatic, that,
for the time we fairly lived this
story, which is so simple, straight,
just and powerful that it will be numbered among the classics.     .
"There is a land of the living and
a land of the dead and the bridge—
is love."
Nelda Callihan played two piano
numbers "Day Dream" and "Roman
Candles" which were enjoyed very
much.
During the business session, 'twas
voted to stand with the State Federation, favoring the Home Loan bill, the
apportionment bill, also ah apportionment to carry on Avork, formerly taken care of, by the Shepherd-Towner
bill.
Mrs. Callihan was elected -tp membership.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
.10 SEQIOR CARNPL
■ \ . ■-.,.-
Funds to Go Toward   Payment
of New Balcony. Friday Evening, March 1st, The  Date.
The Clare high school athletic association are sponsors for a carnival,
which will be held at the school building Friday evening, March 1st, the
object of the carnival being to raise
money to be applied towards the
cost of building the new balcony in
the gymnasium. (
The balcony is a great improvement and has a capacity of more than
two hundred. "It was filled at the
Clare-Evart game last week", and will
no doubt in time, increase the revenue from basketban games to the
extent that it will have paid for the
cost, but when it was authorized by
the Board of Education, it was wUh
the agreement .that the entire" expense be borne by the athletic association. ■"•
The members of the faculty and
board of control of athletics that hive
this carnival in charge have planned
entertainment that will satisfy both
old and young and' some of the best
features include clown bands, minis-
trel shows, Japanese tea rooms,
fortune-telling in addition to the
many sideshows which will be in
operation.
. The main features of the carnival
will be in the gymnasium although
the side shows and games will be in
the grade rooms of the lower hall. Although no one but the .members of
the cast of characters have been allowed to be present at the rehersals
of the ministrel show, it is remored
that strange dialects will be used,
and that the entertainment will bei
one of the best ever given in the city.
All the people of the community
who are interested in the welfare of
the Clare school, are invited to attend this entertainment.

method    of    raising    the*  necessary••
money to   finance   the   proposed   rebuilding  and  rehabilitation plan t for

money raised,each year shall go to . .
the helphjg of the poorer school dis-""-.
tricts of the state.   It would   be     a,

the bill a five   cent   tax  "would,   be
levied on each ticket under one dollar
and an extra, nickle for   each   subsequent dollar or major fraction there-  *
of.  -Ten cent admissions are exempt.
The bill was considered. in    committee 'of the whole Thursday and was
finally   passed,   with     some     minor
changes.    A determined    effort    was
made to   exempt   admissions   under
fifty cents, but in vain'. - The  bill is
