HMKLEVILLE RESIDENT
DEPARTS THIS LIFE
Funeral of Miss Blanche Clark
Held From Home Wednesday, Afternoon.
Blanche Clark, the daughter of
Joseph and Mary Clark was born in
Ogemaw county, April 9th, 1902, and
departed this life at the home of her
mother, Mr, and Mrs. John Sherman,
March 10, 1929, aged twenty-six years,
eleven months and one day.
Her father died when she was nine
years of age, and she then came with
her mother and brothers to Farwell.
Mrs. Clark was married to John Sherman in the fall of 1922 and Blanche
continued to make her home with
them.
She has been in poor health for the
past seven years and was ill with influenza last fall, a disease from which
she never fully recovered. However,
she was confined to her bed but a few
days previous to her death.
She was converted in a series ot
special meetings in Owosso several |
years ago, and always attended I
church and Sunday School whenever'
it was possible ancl she was always a
consistent reader of the Bible. She
was a good and dutiful daughter and
patient in her suffering.
She leaves to mourn, her mother
and step father, two brothers,* Leonard and Maynard of Flint, four half
brothers, John and Charles of Pres-
cott, Elmer, of Flint, and William, of
Minneapolis, and one half sister; Mrs.
Emma Converse, of Caro, besides
other relatives and many friends.
The funeral services were held
from the residence east of the Hinkle
school house, Wednesday afternoon,
with Rev. H. B. Johnson officiating,
and interment was in the Farwell
cemetery.
CLARE CITY TEAM DEFEATS
ITHACA INDEPENDENTS
The Clare Independents defeated
the Ithaca Independents by the score
of 4° to 19 in a basketball game at
the Clare high school gymnasium
Tuesday night. ,
The Clare team started the scoring
and maintained a strong lead throughout the game. The Ithaca players
never had a chance but showed a good
spirit by keeping up the fight until
the final whistle.
A preliminary game between the
junior high teams of. the Clare and
Evart schools resulted in a victory
for Evart by the score of 11 to 9.
CLARE HIGH SCHOOL
TEAM WISJROPHY
Honors of District Class C
Tournament Awarded Local Five in Hard
Fought Contest.
The Clare high school basketball
team won the Class C, honors of the
Alma district tournament, which was
held in the Alma College gymnasium
last week, and the boys came home
with a beautiful trophy which was,
awarded by the state athletic department, and a pennant which -was
awarded by Alma College.
The Clare team was pitted against
Ithaca for their first game Thursday
night, and they won this game easily
by the score of 30 to 9, Friday night,
they played Breckenridge and with
all of the substitutes and second team
playing during the contest, the final
score was 51 to 11 in favor of Clare.
St. Louis had defeated Edmore,
Friday night, and thus were qualified
to meet Clare in the finals Saturday
night. These two teams have been
strong rivals for athletic honors during the season, each winning a game
on the regular schedule, so an interesting contest was anticipated.
It was a real battle throughout, but
Clare took the lead and was never
headed, although St. Louis hung on
doggedly and continued to threaten
at every stage of the game. The first
quarter ended 2 to 1 in favor of Clare
and the half closed with the score 9
to 4.
Clare failed to make a single point
during the third quarter, and St.
Louis lacked one point of tying the
score at the end of this period. With
the score 13 to 10 in favor of the Alldread men,' St. Louis sunk a basket
just as the whistle ended the game
at 13 to 12.
-The victory at Alma entitled the
Clare team to enter the regional
tournament at Mt. Pleasant this
week, and the boys were matched
against Durand last night, while Reed
City played St. Louis. The winner of
the Clare-Durand game plays Grayling tonight and the winner of the
St. Louis-Reed City game will play
Perry tonight.. The winners of these
games will play the finals Saturday
night.

NEW PROHIBITION
BILL MAKES APPEARANCE IN LEGISLATURE
Many Propositions Advanced In. Both Houses For
Raising Revenues.
If Representative Miles Callaghan
has his way the hotel proprietors of
the south portion of the state will not
succeed in, advancing the date of bass
fishing to July 8. All lovers of fair
play in this section of Michigan are
intensely aroused ■ over the matter
and a,, "huge squeal is renting the air
from both little and large communities to the extent that the boys down
in Lansing are sitting up real straight
and taking very careful notice. The
following letter is most encouraging:
Michigan House of Representatives
Lansing, March 4, 1929
Mr, Ben Carpenter,
Harrison, Michigan.
My Dear Ben:
Mr. Murphy called me over the'
telephone the night after you had
your, meeting and informed me of the
committee that had been appointed
to present the matter of the fish
zoning season to the Conservation Department, but I am glad to tell you
that I do not believe that it will be
necessary for the committee to come
as I think we have the battle won and
the opening season for bass fishing
will remain about as it is.
I had an interview with the Department again this morning and they
practically assured me that they
would recede from their former position in the matter and also that they
Avere about to abandon the idea of a
rod license, although there did not
seem to be so very much objection to
that idea except that they wanted it
to apply to persons under eighteen
years of age.
I agree with a large number of legislators in the House that we should
spend more money for rearing ponds
for the development of flngerling
fish, instead of attempting to follow
the seasons- with our opening date for
fishing, as this seems to be the modern way to propagate fish.
Please accept my thanks for the
vigorous manner in which the Harrison Hunting and Fishing Club got behind me in this matter, and I am very
;giacT-to ibe-able -to-report that jmivej.
forts were successful. P will watch
the matter very closely and if I need
any further help from you, I will advise you promptly.
Remember me kindly to my old
friends in Harrison, and you have my
best wishes for your success and happiness always.
Sincerely yours,
Miles M. Callaghan.

March 8, 1929
Relief came Friday morning to the
dry interests when the House passed
the Culbertson bill which puts teeth
into the prohibition laws and makes
them workable and enforceable, while
making aJ discrimination between
minor offenders against the laws and
the mercantile moonshiner and bootlegger. The latter class still comes
under the life sentence proposition for
fourth convictions. The measure now
goes to the Senate for its approval.
Innumerable propositions for raising revenues are coming up in both
houses and the members of the finance committee of the Senate and
the ways and means committee of
the House are working overtime in
their endeavors to sort out the most
tangible and workable of the measures. The chances for any special
tax grow leas and less as the days
go by, unless it may be something
along the line of licensing of bill
boards or some removal of certain,
special securities and properties from
taxation exemption. Any such proposition immediately has some enthusiastic support, but it takes, quite a
bunch of votes to pass any kind of a
measure. Representative Snow has
introduced another income tax bill,
but there is bitter opposition to any
income tax proposal.
There was a lot of machine-gun
oratory Thursday forenoon at a public
hearing on bible reading in schools
and before it closed there was much
animosity apparent. The bill is still
in committee, however, and may stay
there,
The Senate has approved of Sen.
Turner's measure which allows school
boards of cities and villages to borrow up to 50 per cent of anticipated

STREAM OF GRAIN/
WEARS TEMPERED STEEL
New Runner Head at Glare City
Mills Installed This
Week.
The runner head of .the modern
feed grinder is about two inches deep
and one-half thick, and is .made from
steel which is tempered to withstand
the. wear caused by the. stream of
grain that goes' through between the
heads of the machine.
A person can -form some conception pf the amount of feed which is
ground at the Clare City Mills, when
informed, that three of these heads
have been worn out during the past
fifteen years that Clayton Jones has
operated the mill, and it has been
necessary to install a new head in the
feed grinder during the past week.
The Clare City Mills is one of {Jio
important industries of this community .and is up-to-date, not only In the
machines which grind feed, but with
machines for the manufacture of
flour. Bread flour is blended in this
mill and straight winter wheat or
pastry flour is manufactured. There
are several brands made, but Mxv
Jones specializes on Quality A, an excellent pastry flour, that is in great
demand throughout this section of
the state.
Mr. Jones has recently installed a
set of scales for weighing flour that
are so delicately poised and balanced
that a single grain of corn will move
the needle, and a bag string or lead
pencil which weighs but the fraction
of an ounce, may be weighed on these
scales. When sacking flour, a dead
weight together with the sack is
placed on the balances, and perfect
accuracy in weight is possible with
these scales.
The Clare City Mills is well supported by the merchants of the city
and the farmers in the rural districts
surrounding Clare, ancl this modern
plant is a real assest to the community.
HIGH WATER CAUSES
ALARM TO ROAD BUILDERS
High water in the Middle Branch

Nally contracting firm, who have a
crew of men at work straightening
out the curves on U. S. 27 eight miles

A dam of earth was built by the
contractors to hold the water back
and change the course of the stream
while the concrete foundations for
the new bridge were laid. The high
wa'ter of Tuesday night threatened to
wash out this dam, and it was necessary to build a coffer dam to save the
foundation work already built.

GRAND RAPIDS
HERALD COVETS
U. i27 SLOGAN
Forest Hill Resident Originator of Title "The Main
Street of Michigan" for
State's Central
Highway.
(By H. B, Johnson)
In introducing a bill pvopu^Jng thate
highways-U. S. 27 and r'v- of XL g.
23 be designated officially as "The-
Main Street of Michigan," Senator-
Tony Achard has shown his loyalty
to his home community and the district he represents, and the legislature would do Avisely to take favorable
action on this measure.
U. S. 27 is in important and heavily-
traveled highway, and going through'
the center of the state connects the-
states of Ohio and Indiana at the-
southern houndry of Michigan with.
the Straits of Mackinaw to the north.
A delegation representing this Important trunk line met in Lansing-
about two years ago for the purpose
of "asking for additional pavement on:
this highway, an'l at a preliminary
meeting held in the Hotel Kerns, a
farmer from Forest Hill suggested"
that the road might properly be called "The Main Street of Michigan."
When the delegation was given as
hearing before the Governor and Administrative Board later that day, the
gentleman who was spokesman referred to the road as "The Main
Street of Michigan", and the Lansing
State Journal as well as other leading newspapers of the state commented in their editorials on the fact that
this highway could qualify for that
title.
The Clare Sentinel and other papers in towns along this trunkline
have been carrying the name on the
front page underneath the name of
their paper for the past year. Inhabitants along this route have been referring to U. S. 27 as the Main Street
of Michigan, and thus common usage-
has named the highway and the legis- _
lature should confirm it.
An editorial in the Grand Rapids
Herald of Monday, March, llth, states
that U. S. 16 should be named "The
Main Street of Michigan" because it
cuts across-the -state' from East to
West, with one terminal in Detroit,
the other in Grand Haven, and connects Detroit and Grand Rapids.
We would like to remind the associate editor of the Grand Rapids
Herald that a main street of any town
is ■ usually the street that runs;
through the length of the town rather-
than across it. It is interesting to*
the writer to recall the fact that the^
associate editor of the..Grand Rapids.
Herald was present at that particular- ■
meeting of the Administrative Board,
when U. S. 27 was referred to as "The-
Main Street of Michigan": Why have-
our friends from. the western, part of'
the state waited until Senator Achard?
introduced this bill before they-
thought of giving tliat name-to U. *3*.

St. Louis had defeated Edmore, Friday night, and thus were qualified to meet Clare in the finals Saturday night. These two teams have been strong rivals for athletic honors during the season, each winning a game on the regular schedule, so an interesting contest was anticipated. It was a real battle throughout, but Clare took the lead and was never headed, although St. Louis hung on doggedly and continued to threaten at every stage of the game. The first quarter ended 2 to 1 in favor of Clare and the half closed with the score 9 to 4. Clare failed to make a single point during the third quarter, and St. Louis lacked one point of tying the score at the end of this period. With the score 13 to 10 in favor of the Alldread men,' St. Louis sunk a basket just as the whistle ended the game at 13 to 12. -The victory at Alma entitled the Clare team to enter the regional tournament at Mt. Pleasant this week, and the boys were matched against Durand last night, while Reed City played St. Louis.

Both Houses For Raising Revenues. If Representative Miles Callaghan has his way the hotel proprietors of the south portion of the state will not succeed in, advancing the date of bass fishing to July 8. All lovers of fair play in this section of Michigan are intensely aroused ■ over the matter and a,, "huge squeal is renting the air from both little and large communities to the extent that the boys down in Lansing are sitting up real straight and taking very careful notice. The following letter is most encouraging: Michigan House of Representatives Lansing, March 4, 1929 Mr, Ben Carpenter, Harrison, Michigan. My Dear Ben: Mr. Murphy called me over the' telephone the night after you had your, meeting and informed me of the committee that had been appointed to present the matter of the fish zoning season to the Conservation Department, but I am glad to tell you that I do not believe that it will be necessary for the committee to come as I think we have the battle won and the opening season for bass fishing will remain about as it is. I had an interview with the Department again this morning and they practically assured me that they would recede from their former position in the matter and also that they Avere about to abandon the idea of a rod license, although there did not seem to be so very much objection to that idea except that they wanted it to apply to persons under eighteen years of age. I agree with a large number of legislators in the House that we should spend more money for rearing ponds for the development of flngerling fish, instead of attempting to follow the seasons- with our opening date for fishing, as this seems to be the modern way to propagate fish. Please accept my thanks for the vigorous manner in which the Harrison Hunting and Fishing Club got behind me in this matter, and I am very ;giacT-to ibe-able -to-report that jmivej. forts were successful. P will watch the matter very closely and if I need any further help from you, I will advise you promptly. Remember me kindly to my old friends in Harrison, and you have my best wishes for your success and happiness always. Sincerely yours, Miles M. Callaghan.

A put luck supper Will be served. Master. Michigan Press Association Lansing Bureau March 8, 1929 Relief came Friday morning to the dry interests when the House passed the Culbertson bill which puts teeth into the prohibition laws and makes them workable and enforceable, while making aJ discrimination between minor offenders against the laws and the mercantile moonshiner and bootlegger. The latter class still comes under the life sentence proposition for fourth convictions. The measure now goes to the Senate for its approval. Innumerable propositions for raising revenues are coming up in both houses and the members of the finance committee of the Senate and the ways and means committee of the House are working overtime in their endeavors to sort out the most tangible and workable of the measures. The chances for any special tax grow leas and less as the days go by, unless it may be something along the line of licensing of bill boards or some removal of certain, special securities and properties from taxation exemption. Any such proposition immediately has some enthusiastic support, but it takes, quite a bunch of votes to pass any kind of a measure. Representative Snow has introduced another income tax bill, but there is bitter opposition to any income tax proposal. There was a lot of machine-gun oratory Thursday forenoon at a public hearing on bible reading in schools and before it closed there was much animosity apparent. The bill is still in committee, however, and may stay there, The Senate has approved of Sen.

The runner head of .the modern feed grinder is about two inches deep and one-half thick, and is .made from steel which is tempered to withstand the. wear caused by the. stream of grain that goes' through between the heads of the machine. A person can -form some conception pf the amount of feed which is ground at the Clare City Mills, when informed, that three of these heads have been worn out during the past fifteen years that Clayton Jones has operated the mill, and it has been necessary to install a new head in the feed grinder during the past week. The Clare City Mills is one of {Jio important industries of this community .and is up-to-date, not only In the machines which grind feed, but with machines for the manufacture of flour. Bread flour is blended in this mill and straight winter wheat or pastry flour is manufactured. There are several brands made, but Mxv Jones specializes on Quality A, an excellent pastry flour, that is in great demand throughout this section of the state. Mr. Jones has recently installed a set of scales for weighing flour that are so delicately poised and balanced that a single grain of corn will move the needle, and a bag string or lead pencil which weighs but the fraction of an ounce, may be weighed on these scales. When sacking flour, a dead weight together with the sack is placed on the balances, and perfect accuracy in weight is possible with these scales. The Clare City Mills is well supported by the merchants of the city and the farmers in the rural districts surrounding Clare, ancl this modern plant is a real assest to the community.

GRAND RAPIDS HERALD COVETS U. i27 SLOGAN Forest Hill Resident Originator of Title "The Main Street of Michigan" for State's Central Highway. (By H. B, Johnson) In introducing a bill pvopu^Jng thate highways-U. S. 27 and r'v- of XL g. 23 be designated officially as "The- Main Street of Michigan" Senator- Tony Achard has shown his loyalty to his home community and the district he represents, and the legislature would do Avisely to take favorable action on this measure. U. S. 27 is in important and heavily- traveled highway, and going through' the center of the state connects the- states of Ohio and Indiana at the- southern houndry of Michigan with. the Straits of Mackinaw to the north. A delegation representing this Important trunk line met in Lansing- about two years ago for the purpose of "asking for additional pavement on: this highway, an'l at a preliminary meeting held in the Hotel Kerns, a farmer from Forest Hill suggested" that the road might properly be called "The Main Street of Michigan." When the delegation was given as hearing before the Governor and Administrative Board later that day, the gentleman who was spokesman referred to the road as "The Main Street of Michigan", and the Lansing State Journal as well as other leading newspapers of the state commented in their editorials on the fact that this highway could qualify for that title. The Clare Sentinel and other papers in towns along this trunkline have been carrying the name on the front page underneath the name of their paper for the past year. Inhabitants along this route have been referring to U. S. 27 as the Main Street of Michigan, and thus common usage- has named the highway and the legis- _ lature should confirm it. An editorial in the Grand Rapids Herald of Monday, March, llth, states that U. S. 16 should be named "The Main Street of Michigan" because it cuts across-the -state' from East to West, with one terminal in Detroit, the other in Grand Haven, and connects Detroit and Grand Rapids. We would like to remind the associate editor of the Grand Rapids Herald that a main street of any town is ■ usually the street that runs; through the length of the town rather- than across it. It is interesting to* the writer to recall the fact that the^ associate editor of the..Grand Rapids. Herald was present at that particular- ■ meeting of the Administrative Board, when U. S. 27 was referred to as "The- Main Street of Michigan": Why have- our friends from. the western, part of' the state waited until Senator Achard? introduced this bill before they- thought of giving tliat name-to U. *3*. 16?
