RURAL CLASS DAY
ATTENDED BY BIG
ASSEMBLYOFPEOPLt
Weather Was Ideal and Entire Program Arranged
for at Wilson State
•■; Park was Very
Interesting
True to his conduct of previous
years, the weather man played another one ot his capers on Thursday
of last week by throwing a huge
scare into the ranks of the rural
eighth grade graduates and hundreds
ot their enthusiastic friends. It was
class day for the rurals, ancl the early
morning hours bore the ear-marks
that predicted moist weather of long
duration. All was a joke, however,
for about eight o'clock the dark
clouds began to part, spots of tiny
blue sky appeared and Anally came
the advent of Old Sol in his resplendent beauty and warmness. He stole
silently through the branches of the
scrub oaks, with his smile dried the
grass and seats of the open-air auditorium and brought supreme happiness to the several thousands who
were gathering to witness the many
interesting events of the day.
Wilson State Park never before
looked so beautiful. Surely its
thirty-five acres of hill, vale and
plain, covered with a verdant forest
of native oak, pine and birch, presents to the human'eye an entrancing
scene not found in many other sections in Michigan. Like his predecessor, the venerable Willis E.
Green, the new superintendent,
Charles Butts, keeps this beauty spot
well groomed. He was everywhere
on Thursday, extending a most hearty
greeting to the graduates, their relatives and friends and offering every
assistance possible to make the sojourn in the park pleasant and agree-
ahle to them. Through his thought-
fulness, the state playground apparatus was in apple-pie order, and
hundreds of the smaller children enjoyed it to the utmost. It was a sad
day for the mothers—the one when
Johnny and Susie used the "slides"
In Wilson Park.
The speaking took place from then
band stand just east of the pavilion.
Never before had arrangements been
made so liberally to seat the people.
This .proved a wise provision. The
crowd was the biggest ever known
to assemble for such an occasion.
Space was provided at the right for
the band, while the few less than i
hundred graduates were seated on
the left. The big audience occupied
the center section. The decoration."
were in red, white and blue. Th.
class motto spelled forth its wise
laconic message, "Education is-
Wealth," in letters of white on :
background of red and blue.
The graduates formed in line, two
deep, at the west of the pavilion, and,
in step with a selection played by the
hand, marched to the seats reserved
for them. First' in line was Com'r
Aldrich, then Examiners Jones and
Williams, Supts. Johnson ancl Amble,
Revs. Light and Coombs, the Misses
Phyllis Smith and Rosalie Lang-
, worthy, honor pupils of the county
rural schools. The hour was just a
little late, making a few brief changes
in the program necessary.
Rev. Albert Coombs of Harrison,
gave a short invocation. A chorus of
thirty voices (mixed) from the Hai--^
rison high school, under the direction
of Mrs. Marion Amble, furnished two
pleasing numbers on the program.
The remainder of the musical selections Avere from the' Clare high school
band, George Boyd, bandmaster. Always most popular, this group of
young musicians were at their best.
A super-abundance of applause greeted each number played by them.
Phyllis Smith made a fine record
for herself as class salutatorian. Her
welcome was brief, thoughtful, appreciative and unusually well delivered. A task so well preformed at

A. E. (Tony) Achard of Clare, state
senator from the Twenty-eighth district, demanded an examination today when arraigned before Justice
James E. McDonald oil a charge of
issuing a check with no funds.
Complaint was made by Frank J:
Mueller ancl the amount involved is
$156.50. The .check was dated November 13, 1929.
The senator also appeared on the
complaint of Lloyd T. Crane, who
charges Achard with obtaining money
by false pretense. The amount involved in this action is $750. According to the complaint, Senator Achard
sbtaineel $750 from Mr. Crane when
Achard represented to the plaintiff
that he was beneficiary under a $90,-
000 trust fund established by his
father, from which he said he was to
receive  $1,500 last January.
Mr. Crane says in his charge that
Achard misrepresented the situation
and obtained the money under false
pretense. The trust fund is a myth,
according to Mr. Crane.
The defendant has been out on
?1,0C0 bond on the Crane complaint,
but this morning was surrendered \c
the court by his bondsmen. Judge
McDonald fixed a new bond of $1,000,
two sureties, and in the bad check
complaint the bond was set at $300.
He fixed the examination date for
next Thursday. Achard furnished
bail on the two charges.—Saginaw

Operator of Grocery Near Harrison Departs But Valueless
Paper Returns
Many of the citizens of Clare county
are anxious to know of the whereabouts of one Earl Johnson who has
left many souvenirs in the shape of
bank checks duly signed by him but
useless* at the banks because of the
fact that he had no funds in that institution.
Johnson was engaged in a small
wayside grocery near Harrison, for
some time ancl in his transactions
with merchants and others, established an acquaintance and credit. A
short time ago Johnson left Harrison
without informing his friends of his
routing or destination ancl in a dav
or so, checks began to come to the
hanks and are still continuing to arrive.
The Clare county officers were
notified ancl the drag net has been
thrown out, but no clew to the.whereabouts of this erstwhile merchant has
yet been found. All checks that are
offered to merchants in this vicinity
at the present time are being carefully
scrutinized to prevent another wholesale cleanup as Johnson seems to
have made.

EAST HALF GAIN BLUE RIBBON FOR NEXTTWELVE MONTHS]
For the third time the rural graduates of the east half of the county
have played those of the west half
for the county base ball trophy.
Last year the East lost to the
West, but on June 12, last week, they
regained the right to have the Blue
ribbon by the bronze batter for the
next twelve months.
In this annual contest the players
are up against a lot of conditions that
other teams never experience. With-
put suits, with no acquaintance with
one another, with no preliminary
practice, with no choice of position,
they are abruptly called upon to
'•Play Ball."
Here is a chance among boys to
show qualities that will later make
them desirable neighbors in American community life. The deportment displayed in getting quickly
organized, and in playing the game
under difficulties, was so commendable that we feel in duty bound to extend to them our praise and gratitude.

plant have come into the Clare territory, and this contact which has already been made by them will be of
assistance to them in extending their
cream routes in Clare county.
Mr. Thayer is greatly pleased over
the Clare building ancl equipment
and states that it is the best he has
visited during the time he has been
considering the purchase of a creamery. The new owners have already
installed a modern ice cream machine
and will be ready to-begin the manufacture of both ice cream and' butter
within the next two weeks.
They announce that they will have

THE DELIGHTFUL ROGUE
Rod LaRocque in a picture of fast
(By H. B. Johnson)
Among the many attractive summer resorts of Clare county that
prove such a lure to the people wh"
reside in the southern counties^ and
in other states ofr the union, there is
one that is deserving of^special mention.
Northwest of the city is a chain of
five lakes, each one having a separate
and definite name but being generally
included under the one title of Five
Lakes. Each of these lakes has clear
spring water and is an excellent fishing ground for bluegills, perch and
bass.
Most of the section immediately
surrounding these lakes is in a semi-
wild state and the land is not cultivated, but on the shore of the southern lake of the chain, is the well til-
ledled and profitable farm of William
Kapplinger.
Mr. Kapplinger saw the possibilities of development with this property and began to plan for the convenience and comfort of the occasional tourist who stopped to fish in this
lake, by making some tables and
benches for their use. The number
of tourists continued to increase ancl
Mr. Kapplinger began building cottages for his guests.
At the present time he has several
comfortable and convenient cottages
ancl each year is adding some feature
to make the place more beautiful ancl
attractive to the summer visitors. A
refreshment stand has been opened]
for the present season ancl already,;
many inquiries have been made for
accommodations at the resort.
