The blowing out of a rear tire was
*the cause of a bad auto wreck near

sister, Mrs. Addle McCabe, of Temple,
nnd his cousin, David Holingberger,

IAKE BUSINESS MAN
AND WIFE TAKE AUTO
TRIP TO WEST COAST
Sometime during last Sunday night
robbers entered the Carl Updegraff
store at Farwell and proceeded to
help themselves to several hundred
dollars worth of stock in a systematic
way.
Entrance was made to the building
by cutting a window pane from the
sash on a side window and then
springing- the latch. It is believed
that the bandits were well experienced in their art as it was proven
to be a glove trick.
Mr. Updegraff discovered the job
upon opening Monday morning and
immediately notified the county officials and called the state police from
Lansing who arrived shortly afternoon. These men worked several
hours in an attempt to find finger
prints but with no avail as the intruders had carefully protected themselves by wearing gloves.
Mr. Updegraff had just received a
fresh stock ot blankets, overalls,
shoes, and other fall goods and all
were assorted, the shoes taken from
the boxes and thought to have been
loaded into a truck standing near.

(Lake  Correspondent)
Mr. and Mrs.  Geo.  Scott returned
Sunday from a vacation tour of the
west.    They were  gone  about three
weeks. From here they drove to Denver, Colo., a'nd from there to    Idaho
Springs,  Colo.,  where they drove to
the summit of Mt. Evans, the highest
automobile road in the world. While
at the top a snow storm came up but
the sun was still shining. When they
reached the foot again they drove to
the silver and gold   mines    over    a
typical  mountain road.    Then on  to
Salt  Lake   City,  where   they  visited
the Mormon Tabernacle.   This was   a
wonderful building   and   their   pipe
organ was marvelous.   They had the
•pleasure of hearing a pipe organ re'-
cital there which was Well ■wtrttir the
30 minutes spent.    They    also    saw
the church and museum, but outsiders were not   permitted   inside   the
Temple.   From there they journeyed
to Hollywood ancl saw the beautiful
estates in Beverly H.ls, thence on to
Los   Angeles,   Long  Beach,  ancl   San
Diego.    The   road  followed  the  sea
shore here and was a pretty drive. It
also took them past the oil fields   of
California.    This   sight  cannot  even
be  imagined  by   Easterners.    From
San Diego they proceeded across the
desert by way of the Imperial Valley
to Phoenix, Ariz.    They    found    the
weather very  warm  but  the  nights
Were   real   cool.    They   crossed   over
to El Paso, Texas, and were in Juarez,
Mexico.    It was the    filthiest   place
and  so  many  beggers.  * From  there
they t..'ove  to Webster  Groves,  Mo.,
and then to Indianapolis and up    to
Lansing and then home on U. S. 27.
Ih all it was a wonderful trip and they
found the West still the west in many
respects.     The   covered   wagons   are
not as In the past but very much In
use In the west.
CLARE ROAD LEVELER
WORKS TO HAVE NEW
HOME ON 4TH STREET
.New Building Now Being Erected For The Manufacture Of
Popular Road Builder
ROTARY DRILL
TO ATTRACT MUCH
ATTENTION HERE
New Type First To Be Used
In Either Glare Or Mt.
Pleasant Field
Agriculture and Stock Raising Discussed and Plans
Laid to Annual
Meeting
Work of erecting a new building
for the manufacture of the Clare Road
Leveler was commenced recently on a
«site two blocks east of McEwan on
Fourth street by John Northon, proprietor of the company.
The building will be 40x60 feet and
one story in heighth and constructed
of cement blocks.   Machinery will be
. installed for the manufacture of the
leveler from the rough and angle iron.
For several years Mr. Northon has
manufactured these machines in a
shop near his home, but on account
"of the machine almost leaping Into
popularity he has been forced to
erect more roomy quarters in order to
Supply the demand,
For some years past the inventor
of the machine has been demonstrating the Leveler at County and State
fairs In Michigan and_ adjoining
. states ancl has had charge of the
shaping of race tracks from which he
has secured dozens of endorsements
from the officials where the track
record has been lowered considerable
by the use of the machine.
Mr. Northon plana to rush the
building to completion in order that
he may have plenty of these levelers
. on hand for spring delivery.
Interest in oil development is likely to center in Clare county, not so
much for drilling activity here as the
type of drilling that is to be used.
Virtually an innovation in oil fields
of this territory are the rotary drills
which are to be used in Clare "COttAty.
Drillers are setting the rig on the
Citizens State Bank No. 1, located in
Hatton township, this week and expect to start drilling by Monday. A
rotary drill will be used.
The rotary ciir.evs radically In
principle of operation as compared to
the cable outfits as drilling is accomplished' by a boring motion similar to
an auger and the drill filings are
forced from the shaft by a constant
mud stream forced through the drill
pipe as the bit cuts its way in the
earth.
Speed In drilling is one of the chief
assets of the rotary drill which it is
claimed under ordinary conditions
will drill to the Dundee, about 3700
feet, in the short time of 15 to 30
days.
A cable drill ordinarily makes the
Dundee in about 50 or 90 days of operation.
The Peninsula Oil' company are
operators of the this well and are
bringing experienced rotary drillers
here from Louisiana to operate and
engineer the drilling.
Rotarys are used in large numbers
in the larger oil fields of the United
States and are most often used in the
drilling of the deeper wells.
Steam power will he used on the
rotary drill here although both electricity and gas might be used to power the drill were it available as in
some localities.
Charles Strange and George Baird
are the leaders of the company.producing the Hatton township well on
the Palmer farm.
Permits have been granted for the
McKay No. 4 in Grant township.
Clare county where It is expected the.
regular cable drill will be used, however, it was reported that other operators in< the Clare territory planned
to use rotary equipment.
The postponed September meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce was
held Monday evening at the Barnes
Cafe. Fifty members ancl visitors
were treated to talks concerning agriculture and stock raising.
The meeting was in charge of T.
Carl Holbrook, president of the organization who stressed the Importance
of close co-operation between the
farmer and the buslnesss man. Mr,
Julius Shaeffer, a fine type of successful farmer, spoke to the men on the
importance of ridding the herds of
what is known as the "scrub" stock
and said that at the present time 75
per cent of the cattle in Clare county
were scrubs and if these were eradicated, business in Clare would be
75 per cent better.
Mr. Paul Gibson, our County Agricultural Agent, spoke for the assistance of the business men in makings
successful the Sire Train which was
sponsored through the Michigan
State College and the Ann Arbor
Railroad Company and which arrived
in Clare Thursday with a number of
choice Sires for sale to the farmer
at cost price.
Rev. W. W. Hurd in a well prepared
talk told of the importace of the business man realizing that there are
many things he can do to assist the
farmer. He pointed out that we
should provide the best possible
market for every kind of produce and
stock raised on the farm, maintain a
well balanced and equipped educational institution, a complete informative
library, give the farmer ample parking space when he comes to town and

Under the above headiiljf an interesting article, written by X_ H. Howse,
of Brown City, and appearing in a
recent issue of The Brown City Baiv>
ner gives an excellent idea of the ln_
pregsion a visitor receives upon a
short stay with friends he£e.
Through the kindnessicjourtesy and
splendid co-operative spirit of Charles
E. Gillard, editor .and publisher of the
Banner, the writer is permitted to
give vent to his pent-up enthusiasm
as a former qulll-pusher fof our splendid home weekly, In giving publicity
to one of our northern; progressive
cities.
"Feeling the need of rest and recreation after a year's hard work in the
routine of business and. office work,
the writer ancl his good wife decided,
on July 22, to take a motor trip and
spend a short time in the northern
wilds of Michigan. Passing through
a number of villages and cities on the
way, we finally pulled into the village of Houghton Heights a beautiful
summer resort where the natural
scenery, healthy lake breezes and the
perfume from the cedars, pines and
other evergreen trees, and the fine
paved roads, make this spot a very
attractive place in which to rest and
recuperate.
"Among the several attractive, progressive and up-to-date-towns through
which we passed on the way, is the
city of Clare, which we very appropriately name "The Pride of the
North."
"While many of the towns through
which we passed have their attractive
features, this city, beautifully located
on the main public highways U. S. 10
and 27 leading to the north, seems to
stand out in bold relief, and immediately attracts the attention of the
traveler and tourist.

The passing of Matthew Keebler
Tuesday afternoon at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Pauline Teachout on
east Sixth street, removes one of the
oldest resident of the city.
The deceased was a resident of
Grant township for many years, and
since the death of his wife, he has
made his home among his children in
Saginaw. In early summer he moved
here with his daughter and in spite of
his four score and nine years he has
been about the home until his last illness.
Services will be held from the Baptist church Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. P. MacDonald, and
Interment made in Cherry Grove.
A full sketch of the life of this aged
citizen will appear in these columns
next week.
Mallard ducks at $67.50 apiece are
pretty expensive eating, according to
nine men who were arraigned before
Justice Sherill Callihan on Tuesday,
September 18th.
The week before the shooting season opened four of these men began
to think about ducks and how well
they like to hunt them and the more
they thought about them the surer
they were that they would have to get
up a party for the opening day. They
thought that since they had always
had pretty good luck at Cranberry
Lake that they would go there this
year. So they went over to" see
whether the owners of the lake were
going to allow shooting there this
year.
They found upon inquiry that Cranberry was closed to all shooting. Mr.
John K. Doan, the manager, and one
of the owners of the property, talked
to them and told- them that inasmuch
as the Company were now planting
beaver in the lake and that they also
had tlieir own wild mallards at large
that It Would be impossible for them
to permit any shooting at all, •
These four men were very disgruntled, refused to accept this decision as Sportsmen, and before leaving the grounds told the caretaker
that they would be in on Tuesday
morning, the 16th, and shoot ducks
anyway, that no one had a right to
keep them off.
On Tuesday morning, true to their
threat, the four, accompanied by five
other men, were out on Big Cranberry
and at six minutes before six shots
rang out their challenge to the owners.

The first football game of the season  ended  in victory  for  the  Clare
High Team at the Clare county fair
Friday.     Although   Beaverton     had
played one game the Alldread coached team took advantage of the breaks
to score a 6 to 0 victory.   In the second period    Beaverton,    with    their
backs to their own goal line elected
to pass rather than to kick ahd the
play resulted    disasterously.    Donald
McKinnon scooped to ball out of the
; air and ran the few- yards to a touch
down.    The Clave  lads  played  good
ball having possession of it the major
part of the time.    Many good ga'ns
were made by    the    backfield0 men
composed of   Pred   Runge,   quarterback;   Donald McKinnon,    left   halfback;  Lawrence Waite,    right'   halfback; and Roland Comer, fullback. A
great deal could be  said  about the
line for it functioned very efficiently.
With out this aid the backfield men
would not go far.
The game scheduled with the Indian School at Mt. Pleasant for Friday of this week was played a day

Clare .county with a population   'of
less than ten thousand people, has always  been noted  for its fjne annual    ,
fair.   This success is clue in no small
part to the fact that the rank and file
of our people are ready at all times
to assist the agricultural officials in
making* a  proper display of the products of our farms 'So that the world
may see what can really be raised in
this  immediate  section  of  Michigan.
The   cooperation     given     Secretary
Joseph Ladd this season   was   more
pleasing and   gratifying   than    ever.
Too, he was very ably assisted'   by *
(President    Kleirfhardt, Farm   Agent,
Gibson, Commissioner Aldrich and a
score or more    of    additional    loyal
helpers.   In fact, if   we were   to   attempt to name all those who were responsible for the great success of the
1930 fair, we should have to place on
the roster    of fame    our entire population—.men, women and children.
Early Wednesday the exhibits began to come in, ancl were taken care
of promptly ancl efficiently by a sufficient number of clerks. Thursday
the fair opened in earnest. On this
.lay and throughout the entire time',
midway was resplendent with many
attractions, which brought much en»
joyment to the hearts of *the hundreds present. There were plenty of
excellent eating places, and none
found it necessary to go without a
luscious sandwich or a full meal. The
shows were clean and of a brand very
suitable for the youth and older
people to see. Every attraction came
in for a full share of patronage, each
proprietor going his way after the
fair was over with a' feeling of satisfaction. An added feature of this
year was a very funny clo\vn, who
seemed to love children and delighted
in furnishing much amusement for
them. He-was-an artlst?«ia*©very respect, his" proficiency being due to
many years of training with the P. *
T. Barnum shows.
Very close to six thousand people
were present on school day. Of this
number at least fifteen hundred were
school children. . They came with,
their parents and by truck loads. In^
eluding their teachers, they were a,
■jolly, rollicking lot out for a huge
time. Everything pleased them. They
first went to see the biggest school
exhibit ever housed in the exhibition
hall, ninety-five percent of the schools;
having delightful displays, including;
the cities of Clare, Farwell and Harrison. Each will receive a substantial
