and wholesome character of the citizens. He expressed his belief that.
Clare was second to none of the other
towns 'in the state for advantages and
opportunities, and urged all the members and guests to get together, and
keep together, and forgetting all petty
jealousies and feelings,' Ipos.t,,®^ all
times for their home town.

Farmers Week For Busi-

Thirty-seven farmers' organizations
will hold meetings at the College during Farmers Week, February 3 to 7,
Many of the groups choose this
time to hold their annual meeting and]
to elect officers, others schedule a
meeting that week to take advantage
of the fact that most of their members are on the campus, and it is possible to get a majority opinion on matters of organization policy.
The dairy Interests of the State are
now represented by six breeders
organizations. The Michigan .Milk]

member in this group and its officers

The only beef breed which has no

iron mining in Michigan was made
possible at the present time only because of scientific research which is
being made. The importance of the
institution wlr.ch he represents was
emphasized.
The Secretary's report was a very
encouraging one and with nearly three

coming year seemed a very promising
one for the organization.

Poultry feeding, housing, breeding,

school that Is scheduled for Thursday
and Friday, January 30 and 31 at Harrison. The meetings are in charge of
a Poultry Specialist from the Poultry
department of Michigan State College,
The Poultry flocks of Michigan are
paying 70 million dollars annuallyv It
is a well known fact that the average
farm'flock laboring under several
hand* caps such as lack of good housing, breeding, diseases or inferior
breeding. To eliminate as iriany of
these unfavorable, circumstances as
possible must result ip an improved
production and more enconomical pro-,
ductiouV I'hose factors that make for
increased and more economical production are few easily understood
when explained by the poultry spec-
'alists.
Clare county farmers can easily enjoy a larger Income from their poultry
flocks, by applying the few scientific
factors that reduce costs, diseases
and other losses.
The school will be of,four sessions

"Womanless Wedding"   Entertains Over a Thousand Persons During, Two Nights'
Appearance ■
The home-talent, play put on here
last Thursday and Friday evenings by
the Sympson, Levie Company was   a
great success in every .way, as such
comic,   burlesque  enterta'nments   go,
.vith over eleven hundred paid admissions, and with over a hundred in the
cast and the committees of assistants.
Clare seems to be one   of  tthe   last
towns In the state to give this entertainment.     Church     societies     and j
lodges everywhere have used it.   The
local pastor first secured a large number  of strong recommendations,  for
the thing, from Methodist and other
rn'nisters whose church societies, or
classes, had put it on.   The'men'  of
Clare showed the very finest spirit of
'co-operation,, and willingness to help,
over one hundred^ volunteering to take
a part.    However,  the  director had
parts only for less men,;   so,   finally
eighty-five men played. *.'
' There was quite remarkable talent
displayed, for amateurs, by many of
the men.   There,is not space, in this
report,   to   mention   personally,    the
many who did so especially well-—Uiq
list is too long!    Not-a s'ngle character faile8d, at the last, although five
evenings had to  be given.    A little
conversation, on the side, overheard
at one of the rehearsals, -pretty well
characterizes   the   affair.     One   said:
"What a lot of fun the fellows    are
having!"   The  reply  was:   "Yes,  for,
after all, most of us   are   pxst   boys
grown up!    And that is not the best
of it.    Look at the  different  groups
brought together in close contact, to
rub   elbows,   and   get   acquainted—
church   men     and     non-churchmen,
Protestants* and Catholics,    the   rich
and the poor, the city men, and the
men from the country!    It   does   us
good!"    Of course,  the  whole thing,
was only nonsense and fun, but even j
that has its rightful place.   For   the j
good   book   says:    "A   merry   heart
doeth good, like medicine", and this
was good medicine for us, in several
ways.   The Bible also says: "He that
is of a merry heart Math a continual
feast!".   And how true that is.    And
a feast, not only for themselves, but
for the neighbors, and the town—so
much more  than  the  crape-hangers,
who are always filling the world with
gloom.
Development of the Clare oil field
has been given increased impetus during this week by the announcement
that  the  Mammoth  Petroleum  Corporation, whose   petition   for   charter,
was granted last week Friday, by the
Michigan .Securities Commission, was

pany, in his report made to the Michigan Securities Commission dated,
January 2, 1930, sa d in part: "It is
our opinion that the presence of commercial quantities of gas in the Mq-
