CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT
CALLED EARLY SUNDAY
TO MATER BUILDING
Clogged Flues of Furnace Cause
Sales Rooms and Apartments
To be Filled 'With Smoke.
Occupants of the apartments over
the Zemmer Motor Sales rooms on
east Fourth street, were awakened
at four o'clock Sunday morning, to
find their rooms filled" with smoke, so
they turned in an alarm of fire.
When the fire department arrived
and laid the line of hose, they were
unable to locate any fire, but further
investigation revealed the fact that
all ot the smoke came from the heating plant.
„The furnace is practically a hew
one and is not defective in any manner, but the flues were clogged with
soot which caused the smoke to
come out into the basement instead
of up the chimney.
Some damage was caused to the
furniture which was carried down
the stairs from the living apartments
and there was also some smoke
damage to the sales rooms and wall-
decorations.

Building Recently Vacated
Has Unique History as -
Jewelry Store.
N, L. Tihhils, the jeweler, has-leased the building formerly occupied by
S. Bogardus, the grocer, and moved
his jewelry stock into this new location during the past week. With the
addition of new show cases and tho
re-decorating of the interior, Mr,
Tibbils has made this store one of
the most attractive business places
of the city.
With the removal of tliis_ business
from the building which has been
used for so many years as a jewelry
store, some of the older residents recall the' fact that W. H. Elden, started the first jewelry, store in Clare in
1875 at the location which W. S. McAllister *3ias occupied until recently
in the furniture business.
At that time, the building was a
dwelling house with a store front,
and where the Dunlop building stands
was a vacant lot. The street was unimproved and great virgin forest
trees were in front of the business
places and stumps were numerous in
the streets of the town.
The first ladies watch sold by Mr.
Elden was purchased by a lady who
was teacher at the Carrow school in
Sheridan and Mr. Elden-agreed to deliver the timepiece. Mrs, Elden started early in- the afternoon with a
livery rig but it was a long and tedious drive through the woods over
bad roads and when she did not return before dark, a searching party
was sent out to meet her.
Mr. Eldqn traded property with
"Tip" Calkins in 1880 and become the
owner of the property now occupied
by Fred Morgan the grocer, and in
1881, he sold his jewelry business to
E. A. White, who moved the stock into the Fred Newsom building. -
In 1889 Mr. White built the building that Mr. Tibbils has just removed
from, which has been occupied by the
jewelry business ever since it was
erected.
Mr. White sold and re-purchased
the business several times and the
last transfer he made was to Cyrus
Hummon, in 1916, who sold the stock
to N. L. Tibbils when he returned
from the war in 1920.

R. V. RULE ANNOUNCES
MARRIAGE TO ILLINOIS
LADY LAST OCTOBER
Harlingen, Texas,
. March 12, 1929
The Clare Sentinel,
Dear Editor:-—
I just 'finished reading The Clare
Sentinel, sure seems nice to get all
the news from Olare and vicinity,
Each week I receive the paper Mon
day morning.
I have been spending the winter in
the Rio Grande Valley, Harlingen,
Texas, and I can say that I have put
in one of the"be.st winters pf niy life,
have been feeling fine all winter.
The reason I am writing this letter is to let the people of Ckirc*
county know at least a little about
this wonderful valley.
Harlingen is just 30 miles north of
Brownsville. Its a little larger than
Mt. Pleasant, and is growing rapidly.
The reason it isn't on the older
maps is because it's a new city. The
grape fruit are almost as sweet as
oranges, they sure are good. The
oranges, lemons and banana trees are
just beautiful, and ..thpy blossom the
year around. The fruit trees are all
in blossom and the air is filled with
lovely perfume. The winter has been
about like last summer, was in Michigan. Today is a fine day, about like
your Fourth of July. There are
people from every state in the Union
down here and quite a few from
California. They say they like the
valley better than California.
I have a good job working in grocery store. The man.I am working
for is about the finest man in Harlingen, and does more business than any
grocery down here. The people 1
am boarding with are from Wisconsin
and are mighty fine too.
If is wasn't for my dear folks and
friends of Clare county, I believe I
would make my home in Texas, but I
realize that my folks will need me at
home this Summer for help is so
scarce, so if nothing happens I will
be back home in a couple of months.
It seems nice to have all kinds of
green vegetables, and fruit to eat all
winter. Haven't seen a snow flake
since we left Colorado last October.
We had,.a couple light frosts but not
enough to hurt any thing. Emanuel
Feller, the man I canie down here
with, left Clare to Pueblo, Colorado,
and made a two weeks visit with his
nephews. We also visited friends at
Palmer Lake, Colorado. The mountains are very beautiful. I am send-
iny best wishes to all, as ever.
Norman V. Myers.

The accident occurre'd on U. S. 10,
about twelve miles north of Flint,

the Leoffler car, it was thrown into
the ditch and the gasoline tank of the
car exploded and caught fire. The
occupants of the car were all taken
to the Hurley hospital in Flint, but
the young man was so badly burned
that he died soon after his arrival.
Ernest was born in Washington, D.
C, November 17th, 1908, and lived
there with his parents ' for three
years, when they moved to Detroit I
where they resided for four years, I
'The Leofflers came to Surrey town-i
ship in 1915, where they -purchased
a farm and have since resided.
He leaves to mourn besides the
father and mother, Mr, ■ and Mrs.
Christopher Leoffler, two broiners,
Max, of Texas, and Martin, of Detroit; four sisters, Louisa, of Detroit,

"Speed" is the present slogan of
the legislature and the way the bills
are going through the mill augurs
well for a spectacular finish earlier
than many of the members" had dared
hope. Very few new bills are being
introduced and both houses are grinding" Iiard on those which are coming
from committees. Committees of both
houses are holding morning and evening sessions, reporting out a few
bills from the mass in their hands,
pigeon-holing many more and giving
scant consideration to those which
are unimportant. Occasionally some
obstructionist tries to gum the works
and stir up a row, but seldom with
any great effect.
Among the paramount work of the
week was the favorable report of the
Senate judiciary committee Wednesday on the amendments to the criminal code", which had already passed the
House and was approved by the Senate Thursday^by unanimous Vote. The
Cuthbertson bill, which, was freely-
amended in the Senate, went back-to
the House, which refused "concurrence
ih the Senate amendments and will
probably go to a conference committee.
Financial matters are almost as
good as settled with.the proposition
of imposing an eight-tenths mill tax
for hospitalization program. It may
be changed to a half mill ,or three
quarters mill, but the .bill as a whole
seems satisfactory to a large number
of the legislatures. It Is proposed to
levy this mill tax for a definite period
of four years, which it- is thought
will take care of the urgent needs. A
mill tax Is favored for the reason
that the Revenue must be used for

BAPTIST CHURCH
The church ooserved tlie Resurrection of Christ by special music
and songs, and the pastor, Rev. A. P.
MacDonald used as his topic, "The
power of the Resurrection."
The evening hour was given over
to the Sunday School to stage their
pageant, "The Witnesses," which depicted the story of Christ's deatti ana
resurrection. Miss Helen House
very impressively impersonated the
leading role of "Truth." The casr.
included a group of little*-children as
flowers, three boys as branches, soldiers, a centurion, the three women,
three apostles, and Reason.
The church was a beautiful scene
of a garden of green trees, lilies, tulips, roses, and .other bright potted
plants. , t

•METHODIST CHURCH'
The very beautiful Easter services
were memorable and striking in
every way. The chancel had been,
very beautifully decorated with an
ideal Easter symbolism, green and.
white. The massed green, feathery
and delicate, so emblematic of returning life, and the white, of purity. A
large number of lilies had been purchase^, which, later, went to the
sick, and the shut-ins. The choir
had prepared' especially fine Easter
music; and the organ, recently very
thoroughly re-conditioned, was much.
enjoyed, with Mrs. McGuire as - organist. There was no time for any
regular sermon, as, after the opening service of worship, after
thoroughly explaining the teachings
of the church, in matters of membership, and loyalty, and baptism, alt
of the time was taken for the various
services of baptism of children, and
adults, and the reception into the
membership of the church. Fourteen
adults were received into membership, after careful instruction and
training in the homes.
Arrangements have been made by
J. L. Littlefleld, of Farwell, through
the University of Michigan, to have
Prof. Jotter visit this county next
week and talk on the subject of Forestry.' Schedules have been made as
follows: Tuesday, Farwell; Wednesday, Clare;, Harrison, Thursday; and
Lake on Friday. If road, conditions
are favorable Prof. Jotter may visit
a number of the rural schools
through the cooperation of Com'r.
Aldrich.
The speaker nas naci a great deal
Of experience with boy scouts and
summer camps for boys and thru

Is becoming of vital importance to

Occupants of the apartments over the Zemmer Motor Sales rooms on east Fourth street, were awakened at four o'clock Sunday morning, to find their rooms filled" with smoke, so they turned in an alarm of fire. When the fire department arrived and laid the line of hose, they were unable to locate any fire, but further investigation revealed the fact that all ot the smoke came from the heating plant. „The furnace is practically a hew one and is not defective in any manner, but the flues were clogged with soot which caused the smoke to come out into the basement instead of up the chimney. Some damage was caused to the furniture which was carried down the stairs from the living apartments and there was also some smoke damage to the sales rooms and wall- decorations. N.

ARTHUR YOUNG MAN Norman Meyers Greatly Taken Up With Climate and Conditions in Lone Star State. * Building Recently Vacated Has Unique History as - Jewelry Store. N, L. Tihhils, the jeweler, has-leased the building formerly occupied by S. Bogardus, the grocer, and moved his jewelry stock into this new location during the past week. With the addition of new show cases and tho re-decorating of the interior, Mr, Tibbils has made this store one of the most attractive business places of the city. With the removal of tliis_ business from the building which has been used for so many years as a jewelry store, some of the older residents recall the' fact that W. H. Elden, started the first jewelry, store in Clare in 1875 at the location which W. S. McAllister *3ias occupied until recently in the furniture business. At that time, the building was a dwelling house with a store front, and where the Dunlop building stands was a vacant lot. The street was unimproved and great virgin forest trees were in front of the business places and stumps were numerous in the streets of the town. The first ladies watch sold by Mr. Elden was purchased by a lady who was teacher at the Carrow school in Sheridan and Mr. Elden-agreed to deliver the timepiece. Mrs, Elden started early in- the afternoon with a livery rig but it was a long and tedious drive through the woods over bad roads and when she did not return before dark, a searching party was sent out to meet her. Mr. Eldqn traded property with "Tip" Calkins in 1880 and become the owner of the property now occupied by Fred Morgan the grocer, and in 1881, he sold his jewelry business to E. A. White, who moved the stock into the Fred Newsom building. - In 1889 Mr. White built the building that Mr. Tibbils has just removed from, which has been occupied by the jewelry business ever since it was erected. Mr. White sold and re-purchased the business several times and the last transfer he made was to Cyrus Hummon, in 1916, who sold the stock to N. L. Tibbils when he returned from the war in 1920.

March 12, 1929 The Clare Sentinel, Dear Editor:-— I just 'finished reading The Clare Sentinel, sure seems nice to get all the news from Olare and vicinity, Each week I receive the paper Mon day morning. I have been spending the winter in the Rio Grande Valley, Harlingen, Texas, and I can say that I have put in one of the"be.st winters pf niy life, have been feeling fine all winter. The reason I am writing this letter is to let the people of Ckirc* county know at least a little about this wonderful valley. Harlingen is just 30 miles north of Brownsville. Its a little larger than Mt. Pleasant, and is growing rapidly. The reason it isn't on the older maps is because it's a new city. The grape fruit are almost as sweet as oranges, they sure are good. The oranges, lemons and banana trees are just beautiful, and ..thpy blossom the year around. The fruit trees are all in blossom and the air is filled with lovely perfume. The winter has been about like last summer, was in Michigan. Today is a fine day, about like your Fourth of July. There are people from every state in the Union down here and quite a few from California. They say they like the valley better than California. I have a good job working in grocery store. The man.I am working for is about the finest man in Harlingen, and does more business than any grocery down here. The people 1 am boarding with are from Wisconsin and are mighty fine too. If is wasn't for my dear folks and friends of Clare county, I believe I would make my home in Texas, but I realize that my folks will need me at home this Summer for help is so scarce, so if nothing happens I will be back home in a couple of months. It seems nice to have all kinds of green vegetables, and fruit to eat all winter. Haven't seen a snow flake since we left Colorado last October. We had,.a couple light frosts but not enough to hurt any thing. Emanuel Feller, the man I canie down here with, left Clare to Pueblo, Colorado, and made a two weeks visit with his nephews. We also visited friends at Palmer Lake, Colorado. The mountains are very beautiful. I am send- iny best wishes to all, as ever. Norman V. Myers.

Michigan Press Association, Lansing Bureau, March 29*. 1929\ "Speed" is the present slogan of the legislature and the way the bills are going through the mill augurs well for a spectacular finish earlier than many of the members" had dared hope. Very few new bills are being introduced and both houses are grinding" Iiard on those which are coming from committees. Committees of both houses are holding morning and evening sessions, reporting out a few bills from the mass in their hands, pigeon-holing many more and giving scant consideration to those which are unimportant. Occasionally some obstructionist tries to gum the works and stir up a row, but seldom with any great effect. Among the paramount work of the week was the favorable report of the Senate judiciary committee Wednesday on the amendments to the criminal code", which had already passed the House and was approved by the Senate Thursday^by unanimous Vote. The Cuthbertson bill, which, was freely- amended in the Senate, went back-to the House, which refused "concurrence ih the Senate amendments and will probably go to a conference committee. Financial matters are almost as good as settled with.the proposition of imposing an eight-tenths mill tax for hospitalization program. It may be changed to a half mill ,or three quarters mill, but the .bill as a whole seems satisfactory to a large number of the legislatures. It Is proposed to levy this mill tax for a definite period of four years, which it- is thought will take care of the urgent needs. A mill tax Is favored for the reason that the Revenue must be used for , (Continued on last page* Although Clare played but two games at the Regional basket ball tournament at -Mt.
