the large, commodious and modern

TWO CLARE COUPLES

CHEBOYGAN SATURDAY
MICHIGAN STEPS OUT
AS T-BjFREE STATE
Fai-m Interest Piatt Celebration
Banquet at M. S. G. On
September 19.
A "celebration" banquet, in recognition of Michigan's recent dest-
ignatlon as a modified accredited
area, free from tuberculosis in its
dairy cattle, will be held at Michigan
State College on September 19.
Agricultural interests cooperating
in staging the "T-B" meeting include:
The Michigan department of agriculture; the U.*S. department of agriculture; The Michigan Farm Bureau;
Michigan State College; the U. S.
livestock exchange, and many other
organizations. Men of national reputation in the livestock and animal
disease world are scheduled to speak
at the banquet.
Michigan is said to be the first
dairy state to be given the accred'ted
ranking. North Carolina and Maine
are two other states already accredited, but both have but a relatively
small number of dairy cattle. Accred-
itati6n means that Bovine Tuberculosis infection has been reduced to
less than one-half of one per cent for
the entire state.
Tuberculosis eradication work was
I'started in Michigan in 1917, according to E. L. Anthony, head of the M.
S. C. dairy department. Since that
time 185,000 herds numbering moro
than 1,500,000 head have been tested,
with 58,324 reactors found and
slaughtered during this time.
Aside from the health value to consumers of milk, dairy cattle from ac-
•credited areas are said to command
higher prices. Professor Anthony
estimates the value ,of dairy cattle
sold from Michigan to other dairy
centers at ?1,500,000 annually. The
demand for Michigan cattle because
the state has been known to be relatively free from tuberculosis has been
great, increasing the value of Michigan's dairy cattle at least 5 per cent,
according to Professor Anthony.

AN EDITORIAL
George F. Roxburg has requestec!
The Times to run an article which
appeared in the last issue of the
Evart Review denying that friends had
advised him not to enter the field a
this time for state senator.
The Times has no sympathy for
Mr. Roxburgh in his campaign and
want it understood that the article i"
produced as paid advertising.
While Roxburgh makes a denial
that his friends had advised him not
to enter the field, iie staled tnat he
had received three letters from different people asking him not to run,
ancl this places his statement in a
rather contradictory light.
• In the paid article Roxburgh claims
that this county never had a state
senator in 20 years, and The Times
wishes to inform its readers that one
reason that Osceola county has not
been favored with-a state senator is
from the fact that Roxburgh opposed
John Schmidt, who had served three
terms as a state representative, and
is a most honorable citizen and resident, of Osceola county, at a time
Schmidt was seeking the same office
which Roxburgh now asks.
Aside from opposing Schmidt as
state senator Roxburgh cannot rightfully ask for the support of his- homo
county for he since lias openly opposed other candidates for state offices from this county.
During the campaign of 1926, Roxburgh supported Richard Emerson of
Clare county against Wm. Alswede
of Hersey for Representative in Legislature ancl also only two years ago
he again gave his support to Emerson of Clare county for state 'representative in opposition to Miles Mi
Callaghan of this county
Therefore Roxburgh, from his
previous actions, has no claim on
loyalty from his home friends and is
not entitled to the votes of the people
Ot Osceola county.
While Roxburgh served as state
representative for two terms he lays
great stress on his one outstanding
achievements, that of voting for the
first gasoline tax, and while it was
strongly opposed by Wayne county
it was very popular in the other sections of the state, and Roxburgh
would have been placed in an unfavorable light had he failed to vote
for the gas tax.
Aside from these reasons The
.Times believes that Ben Carpenter of
Harrison will serve the people of this
district better'than any candidate,
now offered.—The Tustin Times.

GROUND BROKEN
MONDAY FOR NEW
CATH0LOECT0RY
St. Cecilia Society Completes Fund for Erection
of $10,000 Building.
Ground was broken Monday, for the
new ten thousand dollar parsonage to
be erected at the corner of East
Eighth and McEwan streets, by the
St. Cecilia Catholic church.
John E. Doherty has been awarded
the contract for the building and local
workmen will be employed as far as
possible. Materials for the structure
will be purchased through local dealers or their agencies.
Rev. Stanley Morrison, the pastor
of the church, came to Clare a little
more than a year ago and this is his
first pastorate. His home was in Bay
City and he has been at the seminary
in Grand Rapids since his ordination.
Rev. Morrison's success in Clare
has been phenominal as this church
was formerly a mission of St. Henry's
church in Vernon township, and was
not made a separate parish until the
present pastor came.
The campaign for the necessary ten
thousand dollars for the residence
was started about one year ago, and
the fund was complete in the spring,
but there was some delay in working
out the plans which are now ready
and in the hands of the contractor.

Farmers of Vernon and Business Men of Clare Responsible for First Gravel Between This Gity and
Mt. Pleasant
Eugene Holmes of this city has
purchased of Mr. and Mrs. John
Asline, the building on North McEwan
street formerly occupied by the Princess Theatre, ancl will open an up-to-
fdate recreation hall as soon as the
floor can be raised and other nec-
cessary changes are made.
With the competition of the concrete pavement and opening to traff-
iic of the first mile south of the city
of Clare on trunkline highway U. S.
27, some interesting- history of this
particulav mile of road has just come
to light.
This was the first mile to be graveled on the fifteen mile stretch of highway between Clare and Mt. Pleasant,
and the work of construction was
completed twenty-seven years ago
last winter.
John Asline of this city, was highway commissioner of Vernon township, Isabella county, where the road
was located, at that time, and he
supervised the construction work.
The farmers of the township and
business men of Clare contributed
generously in labor to the project, the
farmers giving their own labor and
that" of their teams, while the business men paid laborers to work for
them on the road.
When the mile of road was finished
and ready for travel, there Was a
balance due for construction work of
$64.50 and this was equally divided
between the township of Vernon, and
paid from their treasury, and the
business men Of this city.
TREES ARE INJURED
IF BARK IS RINGED
Soring To Hasten Fruiting In
Apple Orchards May Cause
Disease Infection
The practice used by some Michigan orchard owners of ringing or
girdling the branches of apple trees
to hasten the time when the trees
will bear fruit may be the means of
seriously injuring the trees by the introduction of disease organisms into
the wounds made by the cutting
tools, it has been found by members
of, the horticultural department at
Michigan State College.
In one commercial orchard In the
state where the practice of ringing
has been used, 146 out of 437 Baldwin trees , which had been ringed
were badly infected with blight which
had gained entrance through the cuts
jn the bark. Conditions in the
orchard showed that the disease infection had been carried from tree to
tree in the rows as the workmen performed the ringing.
None of the varieties Of apples are
immune to fire blights, and if any
blight is« present in the top of a
tree, the scoring of the .bark on the
branches provides an entrance place
for the disease to a part of the tree
where costly damage will'result.
.The horticultural department recommends that, if ringing is to be
practiced, the knives used should be
disinfected before each cut is made.
The formula for a disinfecting solution for' use- on the knives will be
given to anyone who requests it fitom
the State College department.-
SAGINAW FAIR
DATES_ANNOUNCED
Officials Select September
8th to 13th for Their
Annual Event
The seven-teenth annuai Saginaw
Fair, Michigan's Farni products show,
promises -a program well worth the
effort of the scores of thousands who
will make the pilgrimage to Saginaw
during the week of September 8 to
13th.
Fair officials are enthusiastic about
the program which" William F.
Jahnke, secretary-manager, has arranged. Th's year the program is
ideally balanced—a Stupendous livestock show is assured—agricultural
exhibits, in spite of the unusual dry
season, promise amazing proportions
—farm machinery exhibits will sur-
pass those of other years—educational features are guaranteed r in prolific array, while in the amusement
and entertainment field the great
Saginaw Fair offers a program that
will go far beyond the most optimis
tic expectations.
Horse races, horse pulling contest,
fireworks spectacle, an aerial show,
circus performance and a grand
revue, "The Fiesta of 1930" are included in the big program to be given
twice da'ly in front of the spacious
grandstand. Special features will also be arranged for each day.
In dications are that the exhibition
buildings will be completely filled
with exhibits ancl displays, competition for the more than $25,000,000
offered in cash premiums being very
keen. Hundreds of entries have al-
readly been made and hundreds more
are expected.
The board of management .has
again designated Monday, September
8th as Children's Day, every child of
school age, no matter where they may
reside, being admitted to the grounds
free. Because of the great educational value of the Saginaw Fair it is expected that school children will again
avail themselves of this opportunity to
gain complimentary admission to
the fair. A pageant of especial Interest to students will be given on this
day.
The 16th annual reunion of the Robinett family was held on Sunday,
August 17, 1930, in Alwoods Grove,
with 128 in attendance. The day was
ideal for the affair, but a feeling off
sadness prevailed among us, - as we
niissed' our loved one avIio departed
since last reunion, as Uncle" Milo Robinett, was the eldest of the family,
was always present .and greatly interested in the reunion, as- it was
through his efforts our reunion wa.s
organized, and his jovial voice and
teasing way, was m'ssed by old and
young.
The oldest member present was
Hiram Flegel, of Bronson, Mich., the
youngest was little Marilyn June
Rowland.
After the dinner hour was over the
business meeting was called. Minutes
of last year's meeting was read and
the following officers elected: Mayo
Robinett, Pres.; Ernest Robinett,
Treas:; Mrs. Newman, Secretary.
Norma little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. L. Fisher, of Clare, sang'a'song
which was appreciated by all.
There was one marriage that of
Miss Elva Armour and Henry Grunno,
One death, and eight births in past
year. The clay was spent in .visiting
and pitching horse shoes, and no
doubt but what some of our skilled
players of the family will compet.
with the best players of the*stale in
the future.
Relatives from a clii tance were Mr.
and Mrs. James Robinett and sons, of
Chesanlng; Mr, ancl Mrs. Sidney
Hood, ot Mt. Mon'is; and the former's father ancl mother, Mr. Hiram
.legal, of Bronson, Mich.; Mr; and
Mrs. Bl.ir Flegal, of Ann Arbor; Mr.
ancl Mrs. Ralph Heller and children,
of Lansing; Mr. ancl Mrs. Amos Wilson and son, of _'lint; Mrs. Byron
Meggison, of Ypsilanti; Mr. and Mrs.
Menzo Robinett, sons and daughter,
of Ypsilanti; Mrs.' Thelma Falcone,
son and daughter, Ann Arbor; and
Ted Newman, of Lansing.
The clay passed only too soon, and
time for good-byes to be said all de-
part'ng for their homes hoping to
meet again next year.

TWO CLARE COUPLES QUIETLY MARRIED AT CHEBOYGAN SATURDAY MICHIGAN STEPS OUT AS T-BjFREE STATE Fai-m Interest Piatt Celebration Banquet at M. S. G. On September 19. A "celebration" banquet, in recognition of Michigan's recent dest- ignatlon as a modified accredited area, free from tuberculosis in its dairy cattle, will be held at Michigan State College on September 19. Agricultural interests cooperating in staging the "T-B" meeting include: The Michigan department of agriculture; the U.*S. department of agriculture; The Michigan Farm Bureau; Michigan State College; the U. S. livestock exchange, and many other organizations. Men of national reputation in the livestock and animal disease world are scheduled to speak at the banquet. Michigan is said to be the first dairy state to be given the accred'ted ranking. North Carolina and Maine are two other states already accredited, but both have but a relatively small number of dairy cattle. Accred- itati6n means that Bovine Tuberculosis infection has been reduced to less than one-half of one per cent for the entire state. Tuberculosis eradication work was I'started in Michigan in 1917, according to E. L. Anthony, head of the M. S. C. dairy department. Since that time 185,000 herds numbering moro than 1,500,000 head have been tested, with 58,324 reactors found and slaughtered during this time. Aside from the health value to consumers of milk, dairy cattle from ac- •credited areas are said to command higher prices. Professor Anthony estimates the value ,of dairy cattle sold from Michigan to other dairy centers at ?1,500,000 annually. The demand for Michigan cattle because the state has been known to be relatively free from tuberculosis has been great, increasing the value of Michigan's dairy cattle at least 5 per cent, according to Professor Anthony.

Roxburg has requestec! The Times to run an article which appeared in the last issue of the Evart Review denying that friends had advised him not to enter the field a this time for state senator. The Times has no sympathy for Mr. Roxburgh in his campaign and want it understood that the article i" produced as paid advertising. While Roxburgh makes a denial that his friends had advised him not to enter the field, iie staled tnat he had received three letters from different people asking him not to run, ancl this places his statement in a rather contradictory light. • In the paid article Roxburgh claims that this county never had a state senator in 20 years, and The Times wishes to inform its readers that one reason that Osceola county has not been favored with-a state senator is from the fact that Roxburgh opposed John Schmidt, who had served three terms as a state representative, and is a most honorable citizen and resident, of Osceola county, at a time Schmidt was seeking the same office which Roxburgh now asks. Aside from opposing Schmidt as state senator Roxburgh cannot rightfully ask for the support of his- homo county for he since lias openly opposed other candidates for state offices from this county. During the campaign of 1926, Roxburgh supported Richard Emerson of Clare county against Wm. Alswede of Hersey for Representative in Legislature ancl also only two years ago he again gave his support to Emerson of Clare county for state 'representative in opposition to Miles Mi Callaghan of this county Therefore Roxburgh, from his previous actions, has no claim on loyalty from his home friends and is not entitled to the votes of the people Ot Osceola county. While Roxburgh served as state representative for two terms he lays great stress on his one outstanding achievements, that of voting for the first gasoline tax, and while it was strongly opposed by Wayne county it was very popular in the other sections of the state, and Roxburgh would have been placed in an unfavorable light had he failed to vote for the gas tax. Aside from these reasons The .Times believes that Ben Carpenter of Harrison will serve the people of this district better'than any candidate, now offered.—The Tustin Times. ripened on the tree and they have a j Plums—now ready.

Ground was broken Monday, for the new ten thousand dollar parsonage to be erected at the corner of East Eighth and McEwan streets, by the St. Cecilia Catholic church. John E. Doherty has been awarded the contract for the building and local workmen will be employed as far as possible. Materials for the structure will be purchased through local dealers or their agencies. Rev. Stanley Morrison, the pastor of the church, came to Clare a little more than a year ago and this is his first pastorate. His home was in Bay City and he has been at the seminary in Grand Rapids since his ordination. Rev. Morrison's success in Clare has been phenominal as this church was formerly a mission of St. Henry's church in Vernon township, and was not made a separate parish until the present pastor came. The campaign for the necessary ten thousand dollars for the residence was started about one year ago, and the fund was complete in the spring, but there was some delay in working out the plans which are now ready and in the hands of the contractor.

ROBINETT FAMILY . REUNION ATTENDED BY LARGE CROWD Sixteenth Annual Event Enjoyed By Increased I^umber. Day' Was Ideal. Farmers of Vernon and Business Men of Clare Responsible for First Gravel Between This Gity and Mt. Pleasant Eugene Holmes of this city has purchased of Mr. and Mrs. John Asline, the building on North McEwan street formerly occupied by the Princess Theatre, ancl will open an up-to- fdate recreation hall as soon as the floor can be raised and other nec- cessary changes are made. With the competition of the concrete pavement and opening to traff- iic of the first mile south of the city of Clare on trunkline highway U. S. 27, some interesting- history of this particulav mile of road has just come to light. This was the first mile to be graveled on the fifteen mile stretch of highway between Clare and Mt. Pleasant, and the work of construction was completed twenty-seven years ago last winter. John Asline of this city, was highway commissioner of Vernon township, Isabella county, where the road was located, at that time, and he supervised the construction work. The farmers of the township and business men of Clare contributed generously in labor to the project, the farmers giving their own labor and that" of their teams, while the business men paid laborers to work for them on the road. When the mile of road was finished and ready for travel, there Was a balance due for construction work of $64.50 and this was equally divided between the township of Vernon, and paid from their treasury, and the business men Of this city. TREES ARE INJURED IF BARK IS RINGED Soring To Hasten Fruiting In Apple Orchards May Cause Disease Infection The practice used by some Michigan orchard owners of ringing or girdling the branches of apple trees to hasten the time when the trees will bear fruit may be the means of seriously injuring the trees by the introduction of disease organisms into the wounds made by the cutting tools, it has been found by members of, the horticultural department at Michigan State College. In one commercial orchard In the state where the practice of ringing has been used, 146 out of 437 Baldwin trees , which had been ringed were badly infected with blight which had gained entrance through the cuts jn the bark. Conditions in the orchard showed that the disease infection had been carried from tree to tree in the rows as the workmen performed the ringing. None of the varieties Of apples are immune to fire blights, and if any blight is« present in the top of a tree, the scoring of the .bark on the branches provides an entrance place for the disease to a part of the tree where costly damage will'result. .The horticultural department recommends that, if ringing is to be practiced, the knives used should be disinfected before each cut is made. The formula for a disinfecting solution for' use- on the knives will be given to anyone who requests it fitom the State College department.- SAGINAW FAIR DATES_ANNOUNCED Officials Select September 8th to 13th for Their Annual Event The seven-teenth annuai Saginaw Fair, Michigan's Farni products show, promises -a program well worth the effort of the scores of thousands who will make the pilgrimage to Saginaw during the week of September 8 to 13th. Fair officials are enthusiastic about the program which" William F. Jahnke, secretary-manager, has arranged. Th's year the program is ideally balanced—a Stupendous livestock show is assured—agricultural exhibits, in spite of the unusual dry season, promise amazing proportions —farm machinery exhibits will sur- pass those of other years—educational features are guaranteed r in prolific array, while in the amusement and entertainment field the great Saginaw Fair offers a program that will go far beyond the most optimis tic expectations. Horse races, horse pulling contest, fireworks spectacle, an aerial show, circus performance and a grand revue, "The Fiesta of 1930" are included in the big program to be given twice da'ly in front of the spacious grandstand. Special features will also be arranged for each day. In dications are that the exhibition buildings will be completely filled with exhibits ancl displays, competition for the more than $25,000,000 offered in cash premiums being very keen. Hundreds of entries have al- readly been made and hundreds more are expected. The board of management .has again designated Monday, September 8th as Children's Day, every child of school age, no matter where they may reside, being admitted to the grounds free. Because of the great educational value of the Saginaw Fair it is expected that school children will again avail themselves of this opportunity to gain complimentary admission to the fair. A pageant of especial Interest to students will be given on this day. The 16th annual reunion of the Robinett family was held on Sunday, August 17, 1930, in Alwoods Grove, with 128 in attendance. The day was ideal for the affair, but a feeling off sadness prevailed among us, - as we niissed' our loved one avIio departed since last reunion, as Uncle" Milo Robinett, was the eldest of the family, was always present .and greatly interested in the reunion, as- it was through his efforts our reunion wa.s organized, and his jovial voice and teasing way, was m'ssed by old and young. The oldest member present was Hiram Flegel, of Bronson, Mich., the youngest was little Marilyn June Rowland. After the dinner hour was over the business meeting was called. Minutes of last year's meeting was read and the following officers elected: Mayo Robinett, Pres.; Ernest Robinett, Treas:; Mrs. Newman, Secretary. Norma little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Fisher, of Clare, sang'a'song which was appreciated by all. There was one marriage that of Miss Elva Armour and Henry Grunno, One death, and eight births in past year. The clay was spent in .visiting and pitching horse shoes, and no doubt but what some of our skilled players of the family will compet. with the best players of the*stale in the future. Relatives from a clii tance were Mr. and Mrs. James Robinett and sons, of Chesanlng; Mr, ancl Mrs. Sidney Hood, ot Mt. Mon'is; and the former's father ancl mother, Mr. Hiram .legal, of Bronson, Mich.; Mr; and Mrs. Bl.ir Flegal, of Ann Arbor; Mr. ancl Mrs. Ralph Heller and children, of Lansing; Mr. ancl Mrs. Amos Wilson and son, of _'lint; Mrs. Byron Meggison, of Ypsilanti; Mr. and Mrs. Menzo Robinett, sons and daughter, of Ypsilanti; Mrs.' Thelma Falcone, son and daughter, Ann Arbor; and Ted Newman, of Lansing. The clay passed only too soon, and time for good-byes to be said all de- part'ng for their homes hoping to meet again next year. Mrs. J. C. Newman, Sec.
