TMJffiM OF
. Members to Accompany
Football Team and Be
Guests of Club on
Armistice Day
* The Chamber of Commerce meeting
at the Barnes Cafo Monday evening,
following a six-thirty dinner, was one
.of the most interesting of the entirp
year and the open forum conducted
by President T. Carl Holbrook
brought out some good suggestions
and some important matters were cared for in the appointment of committees.
As the city ot Midland is to hold
their annual high school homecoming
day on Monday, November llth and a
football game between Clare and
Midland high schools is to be the
feature of the program, the Kiwanis
Club of that city invited the members Of .the Clare Chamber of Com-
merce to be the guests of the Club
at a dinner to be served at six-thirty
and the Clare men accepted the invitation by a unanimous vote.
After a discussion on the importance of a concrete pavement between
Midland and Clare on trnkline highway TJ. S. 10, and the various methods
that might he used to impress this
fact upon the Administrative Board
and secure the desired action, it was
voted to request every business man
to write to the wholesalers in the
eastern section of the state from
whom he purchased goods and others
who might be thought to have influence, in an endeavor to enlist their
efforts in behalf of the improvement.
The secretary was instructed to
write to the Chamber of Commerce
or Business men's Association in
every town or city between Saginaw
and Ludington proposing the organization that would be pledged to the
promotion of the improvement and
paving of the highway at the earliest
possible time.
A committee composed of Rev. W.
W„ Hurd, L. W. Jackson and M. R.
Howlett was appointed to take charge
of the organization of the welfare
work of the city and to make plans
for the raising of the necessary funds
and the disposition and expenditure
of them lo rel'.eve the needy families
of the city.
Uuiforni holiday window displays,
plans *.or dollar $ays or similar trade
promotion features were discussed
and referred to the Board of Directors for their consideration and recommendation.
The organization expressed a desire
for the co-operation of the parents,
school and citizens in a campaign of
education against the use of wax on
windows at Hallowe'en. None of the
men appeared to have forgotten the
days of their youth when they observed Hallowe'en and no objections
were offered to the youth having
legitmate fun on that evening, but it
was stated that wax permanently
Scratches the galls and its use on
windows- is ruthless destruction of
property.
iT NATURAL TO THEM
A cigarette advertisement in which
a woman was shown as smoking,
which appeared in a Woman's club
magazine in Illinois, roused the ire of
the ladies belonging to the clubs. The
magazine was disowned.
We cannot get very excited about
women and tobacco. Smoking is a
fad With women and it will soon go
out of style. In fact, it is already passing out.
Man is a smoking animal. Woman
is not. It is not good for women to
smoke. They are learning that.
Smoking effects the complexion. Only
those who have reached the age
where the color of the face does noi.
count, for much—will take a chance
on a very intensive use of tobio:*o.
The use of the weed by women is
nothing now. When the nation was
young women u;fd snuff. That wag
an ordinary habit and a funny one.
Older ladies used to sit behind the
stov.e and emote a clay or torn cob
pipe. They do yet jn some parts ol
the. country. But on the whole
v/onVen and tobacco have had little to
do with each other and will have less

Glenn Poet Received Four Broken Ribs When Attacked
By Bull*
Last Thursday morning, while attempting to lead a bull from the
orchard where the animal had been
picketed on a chain, .Glenn Poet ol",
Arthur .township was suddenly attacked and would- certainly have been killed by the vicious brute had it not
been for the timely arrival and heroic
action of Eugene Warren. This young
man, eighteen years of age, realized
that there was no time to be lost in
hunting for a weapon, as the bull had
Mr. Poet down and was trying to pin
him to the ground" with its horns,
rushed hi, grabbed the enraged brute
hy the ring in its nose and fought it,
barehanded, subdued it and lead it
back to its stall in the barn.
Greater acts of heroism than this
are few, indeed.
Men who have the courage and
hardihood to grapple, empty handed,
with an enragged bull, seize it- by
the nose and maul it into submissiv-
ness, are not easily found. Many a
man has received a inedal of honor
for less heroic deeds.
Mr, Poet received four broken ribs,
a badly sprained leg, and numerous
minor bruises, but, fortunately, no apparent internal injuries.

^October 16, 1929
Mr. John Woodward,
Clare, Michigan.
Dear Sir:—
First of all I had better apologize
for n*ot writing to you before and I'll
promise to do, better from now on. We
got our drivers license all right at
Lansing and about two Weeks after
we got our title so we were all fixed
up before we left Ohio. We made the
trip from Ohio to Texas in two weeks.
Were stopped by rain two days, and
no ear trouble at all. The trip was
1740 miles. Had the oil changed
three times and car greased once on
the way. Our trailer broke loose once
from the car. Everyone admired our
outfit.' We had real good roads
either paved or good hard gravel.- I
notice quite a few Essex on the road
and they were all moving.
We saw some, good crops and some
poor ones. Through here it is mostly
cotton and grazing. It seems queer
to us people from the north to see cot
ton, mules and negroes. These southern people say that is all a negro is
good for is to grow cotton and drive
a mule. It is real pleasant here,
the sun is quite warm but there is a
breeze blowing so it is real comfortable in the shade,
1 suppose you have moved into your
new home and hope you like it as
well as we did. /
Hoping, this finds you and your family enjoying good health.
Will say good bye for this time, as
ever,
Russell Naftzger.

For some time a number of our
•itizens have felt tha need for some
u-gajiizcd welfare work for our city.
We are not all. wealthy here, by any
•neans. Modern Christian society is
supposed to lend the helping hand to
,hose in trouble* and aid the needjr.
.V few years ago some of this' work
was done, some of our men, and certain ladies, being very efficient. But
"or some time of -late no regularly
irganized work has been carried on.
The Chamber of Commerce is an ideal
"rganization for this, being common
to, and central for, all churches,
lodges, Sunday Schools, Young
People's societies, clubs, and the like.
The work is too broad an interest to
'ie in the hands of any sectarian, or
•.pecial group.
At the meeting of the Chamber of
"Commerce last Monday evening a
Welfare Commission was created, subsidiary to the Chamber. No detailed
plans have been made, but it was
agreed by all that a financial budget,
a>f some kind, would be necessary.
Something will^ be needed besides
"Old clothes." This announcement is
•nade at this time, to early get the
matter before the public, and more
detailed plans will be published later.

vVages Paid Until Course is
Completed. Housing Quarters Being Erected
At Flint, Michigan 50 picked youths
between the ages of 16 and 19 years
-vill soon begin an educational course
in which books will be conspicuous
because of their total absence. They
will attend class in overalls, and drafting boards, micrometers, wrenches
ind screw drivers will take the place
if fountain pens, blackboards and
note books. Salaries w411 supplant
;redits in this the world's most novel
educational plant. ^*. /
It will be an institution endowed
ay Chevrolet Motor Company, and its
faculty will be composed of hard-
headed production men with years of
factory experience. At the head of,
the school will be C, F. Barth, vice
president in charge of manufacturing,
one of whose life dreams will be
realized when the first class is held.
Here is might be well to explain
that this 'unique training place is not
a school. The word "school" is one
.which Mr. Barth wants permanently
dissociated from this newest Chevrolet
undertaking. Tt is definitely a shop,
operated under shop discipline, and
maintaining shop hours. It is to bo
known officially as the Chevrolet Apprentice Shop. , - .
There will be many features to this
novel training, but it Is doubtful if any
are more interesting' or more significant than ihe reason for its conception.
And no one can make this more clear
than Mr. Barth, himself.
"The Apprentice Shop is actually a
necessity," he told his visitor last
week, "Chevrolet Motor Company,
h"**te all other large manufacturers han
i'f-r vjveral years past noted a de-
•I'eaae in good all around mechanics.
When the automobile industry started
there was no- such shortage. The

CROP OF_APPL0S
Over Six Thousand .Bushels,
Harvested and Being *
Made . Ready for
Shipment
(By H. B,. Johnson)
That Clare county cut-over pine
land may_be. utilized for the'grQWing,
if high grade fruit has been successfully demonstrated by F. A. Fowler
of Saginaw, and 8,000 bushels of
number.one apples have been picked.
irom the trees on his orchard twelve
miles northeast of Clare. •
Mr. Fowler, who was connected
>v:th»Swift and Company for forty
/ears, but who is now retired from
ictive business and resides in Saginaw, came to Clare about twenty
years ago to visit his friend and business associate, W. C. Cornwell, at his
aneh and summer home northeast o%-
he city.
Daring his inspect'on of his
Mend's extensive ranch, Mr. Fowler
crossed the North Branch of the To-
mcco river one mile north of the
'ornwell buildings, and being impres-
,ed with the sightliness of a hill
which overlooked a small lake a
hort distance to the east of the highway, decided to purchase a tract of
nis land.
The land which he purchased was
thickly covered with large pine
stumps and grown so thickly to aspen and other small second growth
„rees as to make it almost an im-
leiletrable jungle, and the soil was
not considered to be valuable for
agriculture.
Simultaneous with the task of
.learing the land, Mr. Fowler began
he erection of a summer home on
he hill that had first attracted his at-
ention to the property. The beautiful
-ighteen room house was nearly compete when Mrs. Fowler died and the-
-uilding has* been occupied but very
. ittle, although it is completely furn-
:hed and Mr. Fowler comes to the
anch occasionally.
As rapidly aa lairl was cleared,
pple trees were set out and this,
vork has gone forward each year unr
il the orchard now comprises 120
•cres with 6,000 trees and'thirty-four
/ariet'es of apples are grown, North-
■rn Spies and Jonathans b'eing spec-
llized. This year's crop of 6,000
mshels is considered a bumper jjHeld *
s many of the trees, are too young
■y bear fruit, . ^
Earl Cradit has been manager of ■
he orchard for the past eleven years,
nd great care is taken with the
•ultivation of the soil and the trees
.re sprayed seven times during the
.Towing sason. The fruit; is large,
veil colored and of excellent quality '
nd is carefully graded and packed.
The greater portion of. the- crop is
narketed in Saginaw.
As the orchard Is two miles east of
runkline U. S. 27 and one mile north,
he third, mile being an unimproved
oajl, it is seldom visited by the tour-
3.t and many of the; local people of
he county were .urprised when they
'sited the. f".'i.j'naw fair this fall and,
ehcl.l the 60 bushel exhibit from the
'owler orchard, this apple, exhibit
_?:::_ '.lit premier fruit exhibit of thet
nfire exposition.
Valuable as the Fowler place is for
's profitable fruit growing, it is no
oss interesting for its beauty. From
he crest of the hill where the house
s located, one can look out over the
vast expanse of trees and down upon
he waters of the- little lake, while at
he southeast corner of the property
here may be had occasional
jlimpses through the trees of the
iparking ' waters of the North
branch of the Tobacco river, one ot
he best brook trout streams in this

ACCEPTS TMJffiM OF . Members to Accompany Football Team and Be Guests of Club on Armistice Day * The Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Barnes Cafo Monday evening, following a six-thirty dinner, was one .of the most interesting of the entirp year and the open forum conducted by President T. Carl Holbrook brought out some good suggestions and some important matters were cared for in the appointment of committees. As the city ot Midland is to hold their annual high school homecoming day on Monday, November llth and a football game between Clare and Midland high schools is to be the feature of the program, the Kiwanis Club of that city invited the members Of .the Clare Chamber of Com- merce to be the guests of the Club at a dinner to be served at six-thirty and the Clare men accepted the invitation by a unanimous vote. After a discussion on the importance of a concrete pavement between Midland and Clare on trnkline highway TJ. S. 10, and the various methods that might he used to impress this fact upon the Administrative Board and secure the desired action, it was voted to request every business man to write to the wholesalers in the eastern section of the state from whom he purchased goods and others who might be thought to have influence, in an endeavor to enlist their efforts in behalf of the improvement. The secretary was instructed to write to the Chamber of Commerce or Business men's Association in every town or city between Saginaw and Ludington proposing the organization that would be pledged to the promotion of the improvement and paving of the highway at the earliest possible time. A committee composed of Rev. W. W„ Hurd, L. W. Jackson and M. R. Howlett was appointed to take charge of the organization of the welfare work of the city and to make plans for the raising of the necessary funds and the disposition and expenditure of them lo rel'.eve the needy families of the city. Uuiforni holiday window displays, plans *.or dollar $ays or similar trade promotion features were discussed and referred to the Board of Directors for their consideration and recommendation. The organization expressed a desire for the co-operation of the parents, school and citizens in a campaign of education against the use of wax on windows at Hallowe'en. None of the men appeared to have forgotten the days of their youth when they observed Hallowe'en and no objections were offered to the youth having legitmate fun on that evening, but it was stated that wax permanently Scratches the galls and its use on windows- is ruthless destruction of property. iT NATURAL TO THEM A cigarette advertisement in which a woman was shown as smoking, which appeared in a Woman's club magazine in Illinois, roused the ire of the ladies belonging to the clubs. The magazine was disowned. We cannot get very excited about women and tobacco. Smoking is a fad With women and it will soon go out of style. In fact, it is already passing out. Man is a smoking animal. Woman is not. It is not good for women to smoke. They are learning that. Smoking effects the complexion. Only those who have reached the age where the color of the face does noi. count, for much—will take a chance on a very intensive use of tobio:*o. The use of the weed by women is nothing now. When the nation was young women u;fd snuff. That wag an ordinary habit and a funny one. Older ladies used to sit behind the stov.e and emote a clay or torn cob pipe. They do yet jn some parts ol the. country. But on the whole v/onVen and tobacco have had little to do with each other and will have less ac stylps change.—Ex. Rev. C J. Morse, of Lansing, gave a vory interesting talk at the- Clare Baptist church last Sunday mor_ing. ud«i? &s his.subject, Jesus' command fi Hi.j P'^ciples. "Behoved go, and as >v po, pveach, -inying the kingdom of fcoaVofl i" at hand."

ER01C ACT UGENE FE OTERTHDRSDAY Glenn Poet Received Four Broken Ribs When Attacked By Bull* Last Thursday morning, while attempting to lead a bull from the orchard where the animal had been picketed on a chain, .Glenn Poet ol", Arthur .township was suddenly attacked and would- certainly have been killed by the vicious brute had it not been for the timely arrival and heroic action of Eugene Warren. This young man, eighteen years of age, realized that there was no time to be lost in hunting for a weapon, as the bull had Mr. Poet down and was trying to pin him to the ground" with its horns, rushed hi, grabbed the enraged brute hy the ring in its nose and fought it, barehanded, subdued it and lead it back to its stall in the barn. Greater acts of heroism than this are few, indeed. Men who have the courage and hardihood to grapple, empty handed, with an enragged bull, seize it- by the nose and maul it into submissiv- ness, are not easily found. Many a man has received a inedal of honor for less heroic deeds. Mr, Poet received four broken ribs, a badly sprained leg, and numerous minor bruises, but, fortunately, no apparent internal injuries. WEFARE WORK COIMITTEE CHOSEN Y NIGPT Plans in Detail Will be Announced in Due Time For All to Help Made Trip in New Essex Without a Mishap— Camped Enroute Houston, Texas, ^October 16, 1929 Mr. John Woodward, Clare, Michigan. Dear Sir:— First of all I had better apologize for n*ot writing to you before and I'll promise to do, better from now on. We got our drivers license all right at Lansing and about two Weeks after we got our title so we were all fixed up before we left Ohio. We made the trip from Ohio to Texas in two weeks. Were stopped by rain two days, and no ear trouble at all. The trip was 1740 miles. Had the oil changed three times and car greased once on the way. Our trailer broke loose once from the car. Everyone admired our outfit.' We had real good roads either paved or good hard gravel.- I notice quite a few Essex on the road and they were all moving. We saw some, good crops and some poor ones. Through here it is mostly cotton and grazing. It seems queer to us people from the north to see cot ton, mules and negroes. These southern people say that is all a negro is good for is to grow cotton and drive a mule. It is real pleasant here, the sun is quite warm but there is a breeze blowing so it is real comfortable in the shade, 1 suppose you have moved into your new home and hope you like it as well as we did. / Hoping, this finds you and your family enjoying good health. Will say good bye for this time, as ever, Russell Naftzger. Care of Carl Pontius 1615 Scott St. Houston, Texas. For some time a number of our •itizens have felt tha need for some u-gajiizcd welfare work for our city. We are not all. wealthy here, by any •neans. Modern Christian society is supposed to lend the helping hand to ,hose in trouble* and aid the needjr. .V few years ago some of this' work was done, some of our men, and certain ladies, being very efficient. But "or some time of -late no regularly irganized work has been carried on. The Chamber of Commerce is an ideal "rganization for this, being common to, and central for, all churches, lodges, Sunday Schools, Young People's societies, clubs, and the like. The work is too broad an interest to 'ie in the hands of any sectarian, or •.pecial group. At the meeting of the Chamber of "Commerce last Monday evening a Welfare Commission was created, subsidiary to the Chamber. No detailed plans have been made, but it was agreed by all that a financial budget, a>f some kind, would be necessary. Something will^ be needed besides "Old clothes." This announcement is •nade at this time, to early get the matter before the public, and more detailed plans will be published later. J. E. DOHERTY _H-0SEN CHAIRMAN OF ANNUAL RED CROSS DRIVE Mrs. John A. Ddherty of Glare has been appointed chairman- of the annual roll call for Uie Clare * county chapter of the American Red Cross and will appoint vice chairmen in all Oi the towns and communities of the county to take charge of the work in those localities.

MRS vVages Paid Until Course is Completed. Housing Quarters Being Erected At Flint, Michigan 50 picked youths between the ages of 16 and 19 years -vill soon begin an educational course in which books will be conspicuous because of their total absence. They will attend class in overalls, and drafting boards, micrometers, wrenches ind screw drivers will take the place if fountain pens, blackboards and note books. Salaries w411 supplant ;redits in this the world's most novel educational plant. ^*. / It will be an institution endowed ay Chevrolet Motor Company, and its faculty will be composed of hard- headed production men with years of factory experience. At the head of, the school will be C, F. Barth, vice president in charge of manufacturing, one of whose life dreams will be realized when the first class is held. Here is might be well to explain that this 'unique training place is not a school. The word "school" is one .which Mr. Barth wants permanently dissociated from this newest Chevrolet undertaking. Tt is definitely a shop, operated under shop discipline, and maintaining shop hours. It is to bo known officially as the Chevrolet Apprentice Shop. , - . There will be many features to this novel training, but it Is doubtful if any are more interesting' or more significant than ihe reason for its conception. And no one can make this more clear than Mr. Barth, himself. "The Apprentice Shop is actually a necessity" he told his visitor last week, "Chevrolet Motor Company, h"**te all other large manufacturers han i'f-r vjveral years past noted a de- •I'eaae in good all around mechanics. When the automobile industry started there was no- such shortage. The founders at .the "industry were then* pelves super mechanics, and hi. every instance they surrounded themselves with competent all-around men. • {Continued on Last Page) - , ' ) .t, |
