Progressing.
Friday, September 20th, has been
designated by the Clare county agricultural society as Clare ahd Farwell
vday at the annual fair of the society
-which is to be held at Harrison, September 17th to 20th.
The co-operation of the citizens of
both Clare and Farwell is solicited to
the extent that the business men
make plans to close their places of
business on that day and attend the
exposition which is to be bigger and
better this year than ever before.
Special educational features will
be planned for that day and the citizens of Clare and Farwell as well as
the other sections of the county are
urged to pack their lunch baskets
aud come early in the morning prepared to stay until after the evening's entertainment and flreworks
of the night fair.
A feature of the night fair will be
the presentation of the play, "Two
Days To Marry", by the Advance
Grange of Elm Grove. This play was
given by the grange with great success recently and has been highly
recommended to the management.
Valuable prizes have been offered
for an amatuer contest and this feature is expected to bring out the best
of readings, songs and stunts from the
taost talented people of the county.
The fair grounds will be well lighted for the evening's entertainment, a
Stearns lighting plant being installed
by the Clare Electric Company, and
the features already mentioned together with music by the Clare high
..school band and a display of fireworks surpassing any thing ever
shown in the county promises this
year to eclipse any program or attraction ever presented in Clare county.
FRIDAY SCHOOL DAY
A county fair is not really complete
without a day devoted almost exclus
ively to education and schools in
general. With this idea in mind,
President Wilbur Lower, Vice-President, Carl Updegraff, Secretary,
Joseph Ladd and Treasurer, Fred
Schaaf have set aside Friday, as
" School Day. All teachers and pupils
enrolled hi the public and private
schools will be admitted to the Fair
without payment of the usual gate
fee.
Commissioner Aldrich with the aid
of Clara county teachers has arranged
a most pleasing program for the occasion. It is desired that all schools
attend in body, arriving quite early
in the forenoon to avoid a rush at the
gate as always follows later in the
day. If this arrangement of the
schools cannot be made, come otherwise. Both men and women teachers
will be on hand to take care of pupils
vin-acconipanied by parent or teacher.
A substantial money prize will be
awarded the school or schools with
the .highest percentage of attendance
at the fair.
" The big annual parade of school
(Continue! on Last Page)
Work on the Clare county oil wells
is progressing as rapidly as possible
and it will be the purpose of The
Sentinel to publish each week as
complete a statement as may be obtained of the depth of the wells and
any other information that may be
available on the oil situation in the
county.
The McKay well that is located in
the extreme northwest corner of
Grant township in now down about
five hundred feet. Some difficulty
Avas experienced in the quick sand,
but that has been overcome and the
drill rig is working perfectly.
The well near Lost Lake that is
being drilled by Braden and Fortney
is now down about 1500 feet and the
crew is working on two twelve hour
shifts with no difficulty being experienced.
The Avell just east ofr Loomis is
strictly a wild cat proposition and the
drill is now reported to be down about
three hundred feet.
There are rumors- of other wells
that are to be drilled in the vicinity
of Clare but none are confirmed at
the present time.
W. CASLOW SPEAKS
AT C. OF. C. MEET
MONDAY : NIGHT
Five Members of St. Louis
Exchange Club Were
Guests at Dinner at
Barnes' Cafe.
TRIP TO STATE FAIR
OUTLINED BY
RURAL STUDENT
Allien Gerow Says Outing Well
Worth Effort add Very " .
■ - Interesting,
The September meeting of the
Clare Chamber of Commerce was held
at the Barnes Cafe Monday evening
following an excellent dinner served
by Mrs. Nora Barnes, the proprietor.
T. Carl Holbrook, president of the
organization, presided and expressed
his pleasure at the large attendance.
Mr. Holbrook introduced Messr?,
'-■red Thompson, S. F. Gilmore, Mc-
Elwain and Guthrie, Superintendent
of Schools, Ray Bowen, and Dr. Bar-
stow, members of the Exchange Club
of St. Louis, who were guests at the
dinner.
The" Clare high school band under
the direction of their 'efficient leader,
George Boyd, marched from the
school house to the Cafe where they
played several selections. Miss
Louisa Rogers, of the high school
faculty, gave a very delightful reading.
The speaker of the evening was
Winfield H. Caslow of Grand Rapids,
who spoke from the subject, "imperialism versus Democracy." Mr.
Caslow is a representative of the
Grand Rapids Calendar Company, and
is the author of a recently published
novel entitled, "The Sob Squad."
Mr. Caslow said that independent
merchandising was democratic in* its
inception and methods and that the
syndicate was imperialistic. He declared that the two systems were at
war with each other and that the empire in business is not progress.
The speaker stated that the syndicate is centralization and is ruled by
force or domination from headquarters and that it means profit diveraion
from the community to a metropolit-
ian headquarters never to return to
the community again.
Mr. Caslow.made his approach to
his subject from the standpoint of the
consumer instead of a merchant and
he used the claims that are ordinarly
given in favor of the chain store or
mail order house to provide his contention that these institutions were imperialistic in principle »and opposed to
the spirit, of democracy.
The speaker urged the merchants
to be fair with each other and patronize their associates in business. He
referred to the unwise methods employed by the farmer when he sells
his cream and complains of the low
price paid by the creamery and then
purchases oleomargarine for his family because he thinks butter to expensive.
Mr. Caslow d4d not have the benefit
of a college course, but as a laborer
in a furniture factory iri Grand Rapids, he made a careful study of economics from the standpoint of a laborer and consumer, and his talk was
intensely interesting and he proved
every point he made to the satisfaction of his audience.
FLOWER SHOW
AND LUNCHEON
A HUGE SUCCESS
THE BABY DRIVER
"We have a suspicion that, if an examination was held, Michigan would
find a surpris'ng number of cases in
which the whole fatuity thinks it has
an automobile driver's license just
because dad has one. Oftentimes
children of the tender age of eleven
to twelve years may be seen driving
big cars. If such a child secured a
license properly then someone should
be separated from his job. If the
child had no license, then there is
something wrong with our whole
license system. In fact it requires no
great powers of discernment to reach
that conclusion. The State law permits the issuance of a driver's license
only to persons of or over fourteen
years of age. The family which permits a child under that age to drfve a
ear is not only violating the law but
is endangering the safety of other
drivers. There is no available machinery for checking up this feature
of our aiitomobile regulations, but
that is not saying that there should
not be.—Pontiac Daily Press.
MANY CHANGES
ARE NOTED IN
NEWnSH LAW
Measure Passed by Last
Legislature is Now

On Saturday, August 31st, eighty
boys from the rural districts of Michigan left their homes for Detroit to
visit the state ■fair. Each wore a
badge aud were readily recognized as
they were met at the several trains
and conveyed by bug to the fair
grounds for a whole week of sightseeing. .
Sunday we were taken to church.
Some of us were taken to the Metropolitan Methodist church, Dr. Rice,
pastor. The music was grand as
they have a wonderful pipe organ.
The sermon was ohe to be remembered. The subject was "To the End."
We were taken to" Stanton's Cafeteria for our meals and stayed on fair
grounds to sleep. We ate and slept
on schedule.. Got up 6:15, took exercises and had breakfast at 7:00,
lunch at .11:30, rest at 12:00, Dinner
at 5:30, rest at 6:00.
Monday was the big day. Being
Labor Day the crowd was immense.
The gate proceeds were enough to defray the expenses of the fair.
We were divided into squads of
twenty each with a guide. Mondg.y
and Tuesday we visited the exhibits
on the fair grounds. Bands were playing everywhere.
Wednesday two buses came to take
us to see the city. We saw where the
big tunnel is being built between tho
United States and Canada, visited
Belle Isle aiid the Zoo.
Thursday was Alumni Day artd
many of the boys that had won this
trip before were, there. We met under a big tent. Governor Green was
introduced and spoke a few words.
Webster H. Pearce gave us a talk.
During the speech the Graf Zeppelin
sailed over and we all went out to see
it. After the meeting we had our
picture taken.
The fireworks every evening were
magnificent.
Thursday night it was hard to get
some of the boys quieted down as
some had to leave early Friday morn-
ng. To make them behave some
were held under the faucets and
others were1 tossed^out the,, back window and made to walk around to the
front entrance in their B. V. Ds.
Friday was parting day. Some
boys left early in-the evening. Those
who remained were taken to the
theatre to pass away the time. At midnight Ave took the train for home. Arrived in Clare Saturday morning feeling that the trip was Avell worth the
effort and one long to be remembered.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Nptice
All 'accounts contracted at the

Although earnest efforts have been
made in recent years to cut down
America's fire loss, it is still said to
exceed a half billion dollars a year,
to say nothing of the sacrifice of the
lives of thousands of human beings.
The real tragedy in this picture is
seen when we realize that most of
this' enormous loss of life and property was caused by carelessness—
most of it could have been prevented.
October 6-12 has been set aside as
"Fire Prevention Week." It is a week
when we should see to the removal
of every fire hazard, a time when we
should study the simple rules of fire
prevention,- a week in which we
should decide to reduce America's ash
heap to a-minimum. "We can accomplish this if we have the will to that
end.

HOMEFOLKS GREET
"MISS MICHIGAN"
GET A SOUVENIR
Proper housing of the laying flock
is an important factor in egg production. A good home for the laying
flock is not necessarily expensive but
should embody certain features of
lighting, ventilation and arrangement*
of the equipment to get maximum returns.
In order to demonstrate the features of a good laying house the Agricultural Engineering Department of
Michigan State -College will build one
on the farm of Joe Clark, 1 1-2 miles
south and 2 1-2 miles west of Lake,
September 16th'-and 17th.
Mr. Clark has built the foundation
according to plans furnished by the
poultry and engineering departments
and has the materials specified on the
lot. The building crew comes equipped with a power saw and building
tools and with the help of some local
interested farmers builds the house
in two days.
Every farmer contemplating building a house for his laying flock or
remodeling his poultry rouse should
pay a visit to this demonstration on
Tuesday afternoon,when- the house
will be nearly finished. The builders
will be especially glad to have all who
are interested bring a hammer and
assist in the building operations. In
this way one will get more first hand
information for building his own
poultry house.
New. Feature Added to
Glub Program iii Form •
of Pageant.
Mrs. J. E. Doherty was hostess to
the ClaTe Stiidy Club on Tuesday,
September 10th, when this year's activities opened in the form of a Flower Show- ancl a one-tliirty o'clock
luncheon.
The beautiful home of Mr. and
Mrs. Doherty was the scene of many
activities during the day. The morning was given over to committee
work.
When the guests arrived at one-
thirty o'clock we found the spacious
living room and reception hall turned
into_ a gorgeous fairy land, with baskets of beautiful flowers at every
turn.
The flower committee, consisting of
Mesdames Mulder, Donald Bicknell.
Artibee and Bogan displayed much
artistic ability in the arrangement of
the flowers.
The,dining room, breakfast room
and sun-porch assumed the appearance bf a modern banquet hall when
the doors were thrown open and
luncheon announced.
The officers' table occupied the
center of the large dining room. It
was made up of exquisite linens, and
beautifully decorated with flowers
and tapers. The artistic effect in the
arrangement of small tables and the
ease with which they were reached
and served proved tliat much thought
had been given to this phase of the
work.
Covers Were laid for forty members
and three visitors.
Many words of praise were heard
as we partook of the delicious luncheon, served under the supervision ofj
Mrs, Stanley Masten. She was ably
assisted by Mesdames Fred Sanford,
Tibbils, Greer and J. E. Doherty.
We then repaired to the living
rooms and the bus-'ness meeting was
called to order by the President, Mrs.
Elton Allen. After the regular routine of business was transacted the
chair presented Mrs. A. E. Mulder,
chairman of Program Committee, who
after -briefly out-lining-the woi'k for
the year took charge of the presentation of prizes.
.Mr. Edward White of the White
Fruit "& Floral Farm was the inspiration of a new feature being added to
our Second Annual Flower Show,
when in behalf ■ of his company he
offered a- prize for the best garden
among the Club women. The judges
consisting of Mesdames Edward
White and Jas. S. Bicknell and Miss
Hazel Ross awarded this prize to
Mrs. Burt Greer.
Other prizes awarded were as follows:
For the best bouquet of Perennials,
Mrs. Clyde Harris; Annuals, Mrs.
Elton Allen; Gladiolus, Mrs. F. C.
Sanford; Dahlias, Mrs. A. E. Mulder;
Asters, Mrs. John A. Nelson; Wood's
Flowers, Mrs. E. A. Anderson.
Heads Ask Opinion in ConsoU
idation of Five Railroads.
Officials of the Wabash railroad
company visited Clare last Friday,
and conferred with a group' of business men and shippers of the city
relative to the future policy of the
Ann Arbor railroad.
The men of Glare were asked to
consider favorably an application
which is to be made to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the consolidation of five railroads, which
would "make a system that would give
the shippers of this section d'rect
linos to and from markets aud increase the efficiency of the service.
The railroads * concerned in this
proposed merger now handle 6? per
cent of the traffic east of the Missis-
s'ppi, and the Wabash now has 7,000
miles of track extending from the
Missouri to the eastern seaboard. 97
per cent of the.stock of the Ann
Arbor railroad is now owned by the
Wabash and important improvements
the being made in the track and rolling stock of the system.
R. V. Oldnian, general freight ancl
passenger agent of Toledo. A. C.
Craighall, superintendent of the division of Owosso and V. Parvin, general manager of the Ann'.Arbor railroad company were in.the party.

Humphrey S. Thomas, 30 years of
age, died in the hospital at Mt. Pleasant Sunday evening from burns received after an explosion in the pumping station of the Pure Oil" company,
located on their Reems B lease, an
offset to the Dow company No. 57
well.
The fire, which was of a mysterious
origin, started while Thomas was outside. Escaping gas and oil made the
station a raging furnace, endangering
the safety of two 500-gallon storage
tanks about 60 feet east of the station,
as well as both Reems B-l, a producing well, and Reems B-2, a drilling
Well.
Thomas, seeing the danger, rushed
over to the tank valves and shut off
the supply of oil flowing .through the
engines at the time. He then ran
back to the station and for some unknown reason, perhaps to shut off
the erighies or the oil flow inside,
fought his way into the burning station.
"While inside blinded by smoke and
fnmeu, the flames burned his clothing
and'searing his flesh, two tanks of
gasollhe, used as fuel tor tho^engines
were exploded by the heat, trapping
Thomas inside of the station. H£
managed to stumble out into the open
air, whore "he was quickly grabbed
by the workers, who had rushed to

Twenty-five lads responded to the
first call for football in * Glare high
school, and -Coach Floyd. Alldread has
them out on the field each night after school putting them through the
preliminary work and practice.
Although It is too early to make
any selections -for the various positions on the team, St. is safe to say
th^t^m"e^tifvthe- first string of substitutes of last year are going to look
good when the team is selected, and
a few who .have come out for the first
time this year ai'e going to make a
strong bid .for regular positions.
The sp'rit of pessimism which prevailed when thirteen of the football
squad of last year graduated has entirely disappeared as these husky
lads which will average at least one
hundred and /orty pounds in weight
have come out for practice, and Clare
can depend upon seeing a winning
team in the field again this season.,
The first game is with Beaverton at
Beaverton, September 20th, and the
first home game is with Sacred Heart,
October 4th, although there is still an
open date for September 27th, which
may or may not be filled.
It will be necessary to play the
home games at "Ward's field this year.
This is rather of a disappointment to
the Athletic Association, but on account of the sandy soil at the west
end of the new athletic field it has
been deemed wise to allow the new
seeding another year to become more
firmly rooted before football is played upon it.
The complete schedule for the year
with* the possible filling of the open,
date is as follows:
September 27th, open.
October 4th,.Sacred Heart, here.
October llth, St. Louis, here.
October 18th, Gladwin, there.
October 25th, Reed City, here,
November 1st, Evart, there.
November llth, Midland, there.

Congressman Roy O. Woodruff of
Bay City, G. C. Leach, of Washington,
D, C, head of the fish culture department of the United States Bureau of
Fisheries, and W, W. Thayer, superintendent of the federal hatchery at
Northville, made an inspect'on of the
sounty trout rearing ponds Monday.
* L. Q. Carman, an employee at the-'
Northville hatchery, the Board of
Supervisors committee ' who have
been in charge of the project, and a
representative group of sportsmen
ancl out-of-door enthusiasts ' of the
county were also members of the'
party.
The location of the ponds was se=-
lected by Mr. Thayer and the supervisors committee after several other
locations were visited and it is ideal'
for the hatching and rearhig of trout.
The rapid growth of the fish and th'e
small percentage of loss during the
summer has proven the wisdom of"
Mr. Thayer in approving the location.
The land was donated by Jack
Myers of Harrison, president of the
Green Mountain Tree Company, and"
for utility and beauty could not be
surpassed any where in the state of
Michigan. Mr. Myers demonstrated
his patriotism for the county in a
pract'eal/manner in the gift-of this
tract of land, and the committee are
now contemplating the placing of
some sort of a memorial as a permanent record of his gift.
Mr. Myers accepted the contract
for the erection of a log cabin 12x16
feet in size to be used as a store
room, and once . again, Mr. Myers
proved his loyalty by building the
cabin at cost, and he has expressed
his willingness to furnish the committee with additional land if it becomes necessary.
Congressman Woodruff and Mr.
Leach expressed their surprise when,
they saw the amount of work which,
had been done at a small cost and.
Mr. Leach was enthusiastic over the
location and the quality and "v'olumn
of the water available in the stream,
which has been named Spike Horn.
Creek by Mr. Myers, the donor of the
site.
'Mr. Leach stated that he is ofterr
called upon to inspect projects of this
nature and in practically every instance it does not come up to his expectations, but this was an exception
as he was not prepared to see so ideal
a location for the raising and rearing
of fish.
It was estimated by ihe experienced,
gentlemen who were in the party that
•the stream at the present time, after
a prolonged drought was flowing at
least 2,500 gallon per minute and Mr.
Leach said that was enough water
for a hatchery having a capacity of
1,000,000 trout annually.
The party also vis'ted some of the
many springs in the vicinity of the
creek and a conservative estimate
was to the effect that the present
volumu of water could be doubled at
a comparatively small expense.

CLARE COUNTY'S.FIRST DIL WELL DOWN FIF- TEEN HUNDRED FEET Difficulty through Quicksand Overcorne, Drillers now Progressing. Friday, September 20th, has been designated by the Clare county agricultural society as Clare ahd Farwell vday at the annual fair of the society -which is to be held at Harrison, September 17th to 20th. The co-operation of the citizens of both Clare and Farwell is solicited to the extent that the business men make plans to close their places of business on that day and attend the exposition which is to be bigger and better this year than ever before. Special educational features will be planned for that day and the citizens of Clare and Farwell as well as the other sections of the county are urged to pack their lunch baskets aud come early in the morning prepared to stay until after the evening's entertainment and flreworks of the night fair. A feature of the night fair will be the presentation of the play, "Two Days To Marry", by the Advance Grange of Elm Grove. This play was given by the grange with great success recently and has been highly recommended to the management. Valuable prizes have been offered for an amatuer contest and this feature is expected to bring out the best of readings, songs and stunts from the taost talented people of the county. The fair grounds will be well lighted for the evening's entertainment, a Stearns lighting plant being installed by the Clare Electric Company, and the features already mentioned together with music by the Clare high ..school band and a display of fireworks surpassing any thing ever shown in the county promises this year to eclipse any program or attraction ever presented in Clare county. FRIDAY SCHOOL DAY A county fair is not really complete without a day devoted almost exclus ively to education and schools in general. With this idea in mind, President Wilbur Lower, Vice-President, Carl Updegraff, Secretary, Joseph Ladd and Treasurer, Fred Schaaf have set aside Friday, as " School Day. All teachers and pupils enrolled hi the public and private schools will be admitted to the Fair without payment of the usual gate fee. Commissioner Aldrich with the aid of Clara county teachers has arranged a most pleasing program for the occasion. It is desired that all schools attend in body, arriving quite early in the forenoon to avoid a rush at the gate as always follows later in the day. If this arrangement of the schools cannot be made, come otherwise. Both men and women teachers will be on hand to take care of pupils vin-acconipanied by parent or teacher. A substantial money prize will be awarded the school or schools with the .highest percentage of attendance at the fair. " The big annual parade of school (Continue! on Last Page) Work on the Clare county oil wells is progressing as rapidly as possible and it will be the purpose of The Sentinel to publish each week as complete a statement as may be obtained of the depth of the wells and any other information that may be available on the oil situation in the county. The McKay well that is located in the extreme northwest corner of Grant township in now down about five hundred feet. Some difficulty Avas experienced in the quick sand, but that has been overcome and the drill rig is working perfectly. The well near Lost Lake that is being drilled by Braden and Fortney is now down about 1500 feet and the crew is working on two twelve hour shifts with no difficulty being experienced. The Avell just east ofr Loomis is strictly a wild cat proposition and the drill is now reported to be down about three hundred feet. There are rumors- of other wells that are to be drilled in the vicinity of Clare but none are confirmed at the present time. W. CASLOW SPEAKS AT C. OF. C. MEET MONDAY : NIGHT Five Members of St. Louis Exchange Club Were Guests at Dinner at Barnes' Cafe. TRIP TO STATE FAIR OUTLINED BY RURAL STUDENT Allien Gerow Says Outing Well Worth Effort add Very " . ■ - Interesting, The September meeting of the Clare Chamber of Commerce was held at the Barnes Cafe Monday evening following an excellent dinner served by Mrs. Nora Barnes, the proprietor. T. Carl Holbrook, president of the organization, presided and expressed his pleasure at the large attendance. Mr. Holbrook introduced Messr?, '-■red Thompson, S. F. Gilmore, Mc- Elwain and Guthrie, Superintendent of Schools, Ray Bowen, and Dr. Bar- stow, members of the Exchange Club of St. Louis, who were guests at the dinner. The" Clare high school band under the direction of their 'efficient leader, George Boyd, marched from the school house to the Cafe where they played several selections. Miss Louisa Rogers, of the high school faculty, gave a very delightful reading. The speaker of the evening was Winfield H. Caslow of Grand Rapids, who spoke from the subject, "imperialism versus Democracy." Mr. Caslow is a representative of the Grand Rapids Calendar Company, and is the author of a recently published novel entitled, "The Sob Squad." Mr. Caslow said that independent merchandising was democratic in* its inception and methods and that the syndicate was imperialistic. He declared that the two systems were at war with each other and that the empire in business is not progress. The speaker stated that the syndicate is centralization and is ruled by force or domination from headquarters and that it means profit diveraion from the community to a metropolit- ian headquarters never to return to the community again. Mr. Caslow.made his approach to his subject from the standpoint of the consumer instead of a merchant and he used the claims that are ordinarly given in favor of the chain store or mail order house to provide his contention that these institutions were imperialistic in principle »and opposed to the spirit, of democracy. The speaker urged the merchants to be fair with each other and patronize their associates in business. He referred to the unwise methods employed by the farmer when he sells his cream and complains of the low price paid by the creamery and then purchases oleomargarine for his family because he thinks butter to expensive. Mr. Caslow d4d not have the benefit of a college course, but as a laborer in a furniture factory iri Grand Rapids, he made a careful study of economics from the standpoint of a laborer and consumer, and his talk was intensely interesting and he proved every point he made to the satisfaction of his audience. FLOWER SHOW AND LUNCHEON A HUGE SUCCESS THE BABY DRIVER "We have a suspicion that, if an examination was held, Michigan would find a surpris'ng number of cases in which the whole fatuity thinks it has an automobile driver's license just because dad has one. Oftentimes children of the tender age of eleven to twelve years may be seen driving big cars. If such a child secured a license properly then someone should be separated from his job. If the child had no license, then there is something wrong with our whole license system. In fact it requires no great powers of discernment to reach that conclusion. The State law permits the issuance of a driver's license only to persons of or over fourteen years of age. The family which permits a child under that age to drfve a ear is not only violating the law but is endangering the safety of other drivers. There is no available machinery for checking up this feature of our aiitomobile regulations, but that is not saying that there should not be.—Pontiac Daily Press. MANY CHANGES ARE NOTED IN NEWnSH LAW Measure Passed by Last Legislature is Now in Effect. The following salient features of the new fish bin passed by the legislature last spring ,and which became effective August 28th, should be called to the attention of Michigan anglers, says Fred Westerman of the conservation department.

Unlawful to take for commercial purposes any non-game fish— suckers, carp, great northern pike, smelt— without a commercial fishing license. Unlawful to take minnows for commercial purposes without having secured a license therefore. On Saturday, August 31st, eighty boys from the rural districts of Michigan left their homes for Detroit to visit the state ■fair. Each wore a badge aud were readily recognized as they were met at the several trains and conveyed by bug to the fair grounds for a whole week of sightseeing. . Sunday we were taken to church. Some of us were taken to the Metropolitan Methodist church, Dr. Rice, pastor. The music was grand as they have a wonderful pipe organ. The sermon was ohe to be remembered. The subject was "To the End." We were taken to" Stanton's Cafeteria for our meals and stayed on fair grounds to sleep. We ate and slept on schedule.. Got up 6:15, took exercises and had breakfast at 7:00, lunch at .11:30, rest at 12:00, Dinner at 5:30, rest at 6:00. Monday was the big day. Being Labor Day the crowd was immense. The gate proceeds were enough to defray the expenses of the fair. We were divided into squads of twenty each with a guide. Mondg.y and Tuesday we visited the exhibits on the fair grounds. Bands were playing everywhere. Wednesday two buses came to take us to see the city. We saw where the big tunnel is being built between tho United States and Canada, visited Belle Isle aiid the Zoo. Thursday was Alumni Day artd many of the boys that had won this trip before were, there. We met under a big tent. Governor Green was introduced and spoke a few words. Webster H. Pearce gave us a talk. During the speech the Graf Zeppelin sailed over and we all went out to see it. After the meeting we had our picture taken. The fireworks every evening were magnificent. Thursday night it was hard to get some of the boys quieted down as some had to leave early Friday morn- ng. To make them behave some were held under the faucets and others were1 tossed^out the,, back window and made to walk around to the front entrance in their B. V. Ds. Friday was parting day. Some boys left early in-the evening. Those who remained were taken to the theatre to pass away the time. At midnight Ave took the train for home. Arrived in Clare Saturday morning feeling that the trip was Avell worth the effort and one long to be remembered. Allen Gerow. WABASH COMPANY OFFICIALS CONFER '.'

EXPERTS Princess Theatre FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Nptice All 'accounts contracted at the •gta-ddrd Oil .Station until August Although earnest efforts have been made in recent years to cut down America's fire loss, it is still said to exceed a half billion dollars a year, to say nothing of the sacrifice of the lives of thousands of human beings. The real tragedy in this picture is seen when we realize that most of this' enormous loss of life and property was caused by carelessness— most of it could have been prevented. October 6-12 has been set aside as "Fire Prevention Week." It is a week when we should see to the removal of every fire hazard, a time when we should study the simple rules of fire prevention,- a week in which we should decide to reduce America's ash heap to a-minimum. "We can accomplish this if we have the will to that end. Flash. Sun.-Mon.—The Cameryman—Buster Keaton. A new laugh riot—Talking comedy—Star cast in—Hurdy Gurdy.

HOMEFOLKS GREET "MISS MICHIGAN" GET A SOUVENIR Proper housing of the laying flock is an important factor in egg production. A good home for the laying flock is not necessarily expensive but should embody certain features of lighting, ventilation and arrangement* of the equipment to get maximum returns. In order to demonstrate the features of a good laying house the Agricultural Engineering Department of Michigan State -College will build one on the farm of Joe Clark, 1 1-2 miles south and 2 1-2 miles west of Lake, September 16th'-and 17th. Mr. Clark has built the foundation according to plans furnished by the poultry and engineering departments and has the materials specified on the lot. The building crew comes equipped with a power saw and building tools and with the help of some local interested farmers builds the house in two days. Every farmer contemplating building a house for his laying flock or remodeling his poultry rouse should pay a visit to this demonstration on Tuesday afternoon,when- the house will be nearly finished. The builders will be especially glad to have all who are interested bring a hammer and assist in the building operations. In this way one will get more first hand information for building his own poultry house. New. Feature Added to Glub Program iii Form • of Pageant. Mrs. J. E. Doherty was hostess to the ClaTe Stiidy Club on Tuesday, September 10th, when this year's activities opened in the form of a Flower Show- ancl a one-tliirty o'clock luncheon. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Doherty was the scene of many activities during the day. The morning was given over to committee work. When the guests arrived at one- thirty o'clock we found the spacious living room and reception hall turned into_ a gorgeous fairy land, with baskets of beautiful flowers at every turn. The flower committee, consisting of Mesdames Mulder, Donald Bicknell. Artibee and Bogan displayed much artistic ability in the arrangement of the flowers. The,dining room, breakfast room and sun-porch assumed the appearance bf a modern banquet hall when the doors were thrown open and luncheon announced. The officers' table occupied the center of the large dining room. It was made up of exquisite linens, and beautifully decorated with flowers and tapers. The artistic effect in the arrangement of small tables and the ease with which they were reached and served proved tliat much thought had been given to this phase of the work. Covers Were laid for forty members and three visitors. Many words of praise were heard as we partook of the delicious luncheon, served under the supervision ofj Mrs, Stanley Masten. She was ably assisted by Mesdames Fred Sanford, Tibbils, Greer and J. E. Doherty. We then repaired to the living rooms and the bus-'ness meeting was called to order by the President, Mrs. Elton Allen. After the regular routine of business was transacted the chair presented Mrs. A. E. Mulder, chairman of Program Committee, who after -briefly out-lining-the woi'k for the year took charge of the presentation of prizes. .Mr. Edward White of the White Fruit "& Floral Farm was the inspiration of a new feature being added to our Second Annual Flower Show, when in behalf ■ of his company he offered a- prize for the best garden among the Club women. The judges consisting of Mesdames Edward White and Jas. S. Bicknell and Miss Hazel Ross awarded this prize to Mrs. Burt Greer. Other prizes awarded were as follows: For the best bouquet of Perennials, Mrs. Clyde Harris; Annuals, Mrs. Elton Allen; Gladiolus, Mrs. F. C. Sanford; Dahlias, Mrs. A. E. Mulder; Asters, Mrs. John A. Nelson; Wood's Flowers, Mrs. E. A. Anderson. Heads Ask Opinion in ConsoU idation of Five Railroads. Officials of the Wabash railroad company visited Clare last Friday, and conferred with a group' of business men and shippers of the city relative to the future policy of the Ann Arbor railroad. The men of Glare were asked to consider favorably an application which is to be made to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the consolidation of five railroads, which would "make a system that would give the shippers of this section d'rect linos to and from markets aud increase the efficiency of the service. The railroads * concerned in this proposed merger now handle 6? per cent of the traffic east of the Missis- s'ppi, and the Wabash now has 7,000 miles of track extending from the Missouri to the eastern seaboard. 97 per cent of the.stock of the Ann Arbor railroad is now owned by the Wabash and important improvements the being made in the track and rolling stock of the system. R. V. Oldnian, general freight ancl passenger agent of Toledo. A. C. Craighall, superintendent of the division of Owosso and V. Parvin, general manager of the Ann'.Arbor railroad company were in.the party. FEDERAL MEN VISIT COUNTY REARING PONDS MONDAY -• ■ - _ Gong..

Humphrey S. Thomas, 30 years of age, died in the hospital at Mt. Pleasant Sunday evening from burns received after an explosion in the pumping station of the Pure Oil" company, located on their Reems B lease, an offset to the Dow company No. 57 well. The fire, which was of a mysterious origin, started while Thomas was outside. Escaping gas and oil made the station a raging furnace, endangering the safety of two 500-gallon storage tanks about 60 feet east of the station, as well as both Reems B-l, a producing well, and Reems B-2, a drilling Well. Thomas, seeing the danger, rushed over to the tank valves and shut off the supply of oil flowing .through the engines at the time. He then ran back to the station and for some unknown reason, perhaps to shut off the erighies or the oil flow inside, fought his way into the burning station. "While inside blinded by smoke and fnmeu, the flames burned his clothing and'searing his flesh, two tanks of gasollhe, used as fuel tor tho^engines were exploded by the heat, trapping Thomas inside of the station. H£ managed to stumble out into the open air, whore "he was quickly grabbed by the workers, who had rushed to the Bcenc pt the blaiio and tho Are op his clothing extinguished, j" fhOHiae, a former resident Twenty-five lads responded to the first call for football in * Glare high school, and -Coach Floyd. Alldread has them out on the field each night after school putting them through the preliminary work and practice. Although It is too early to make any selections -for the various positions on the team, St. is safe to say th^t^m"e^tifvthe- first string of substitutes of last year are going to look good when the team is selected, and a few who .have come out for the first time this year ai'e going to make a strong bid .for regular positions. The sp'rit of pessimism which prevailed when thirteen of the football squad of last year graduated has entirely disappeared as these husky lads which will average at least one hundred and /orty pounds in weight have come out for practice, and Clare can depend upon seeing a winning team in the field again this season., The first game is with Beaverton at Beaverton, September 20th, and the first home game is with Sacred Heart, October 4th, although there is still an open date for September 27th, which may or may not be filled. It will be necessary to play the home games at "Ward's field this year. This is rather of a disappointment to the Athletic Association, but on account of the sandy soil at the west end of the new athletic field it has been deemed wise to allow the new seeding another year to become more firmly rooted before football is played upon it. The complete schedule for the year with* the possible filling of the open, date is as follows: September 27th, open. October 4th,.Sacred Heart, here. October llth, St. Louis, here. October 18th, Gladwin, there. October 25th, Reed City, here, November 1st, Evart, there. November llth, Midland, there. (By.H. B. Johnson) Congressman Roy O. Woodruff of Bay City, G. C. Leach, of Washington, D, C, head of the fish culture department of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, and W, W. Thayer, superintendent of the federal hatchery at Northville, made an inspect'on of the sounty trout rearing ponds Monday. * L. Q. Carman, an employee at the-' Northville hatchery, the Board of Supervisors committee ' who have been in charge of the project, and a representative group of sportsmen ancl out-of-door enthusiasts ' of the county were also members of the' party. The location of the ponds was se=- lected by Mr. Thayer and the supervisors committee after several other locations were visited and it is ideal' for the hatching and rearhig of trout. The rapid growth of the fish and th'e small percentage of loss during the summer has proven the wisdom of" Mr. Thayer in approving the location. The land was donated by Jack Myers of Harrison, president of the Green Mountain Tree Company, and" for utility and beauty could not be surpassed any where in the state of Michigan. Mr. Myers demonstrated his patriotism for the county in a pract'eal/manner in the gift-of this tract of land, and the committee are now contemplating the placing of some sort of a memorial as a permanent record of his gift. Mr. Myers accepted the contract for the erection of a log cabin 12x16 feet in size to be used as a store room, and once . again, Mr. Myers proved his loyalty by building the cabin at cost, and he has expressed his willingness to furnish the committee with additional land if it becomes necessary. Congressman Woodruff and Mr. Leach expressed their surprise when, they saw the amount of work which, had been done at a small cost and. Mr. Leach was enthusiastic over the location and the quality and "v'olumn of the water available in the stream, which has been named Spike Horn. Creek by Mr. Myers, the donor of the site. 'Mr. Leach stated that he is ofterr called upon to inspect projects of this nature and in practically every instance it does not come up to his expectations, but this was an exception as he was not prepared to see so ideal a location for the raising and rearing of fish. It was estimated by ihe experienced, gentlemen who were in the party that •the stream at the present time, after a prolonged drought was flowing at least 2,500 gallon per minute and Mr. Leach said that was enough water for a hatchery having a capacity of 1,000,000 trout annually. The party also vis'ted some of the many springs in the vicinity of the creek and a conservative estimate was to the effect that the present volumu of water could be doubled at a comparatively small expense.
