With renew activities in the fi,eld
surrounding the mammoth gasser discovered by McKay and Mercier during early operations in Grant township, the interest of many promoters
and landowners have returned to this
section.
The new method of drilling with a
rotary drill is also holding the public's attention as the operators of this
new device usually bring a well to
completion in about one-third tlie
time necessary for the cable drills.
The Peninsula Oil Company who
are operating the rotary, started drilling Tuesday and are now reported
down four hundred feet. This
well will be known as Citizens State
Bank No. 1. Strange and Baird are
the promoters.
In the Field four miles south of
Clare much effort is being made to
overcome the salt water struck in the
Dundee. The Bowman No. 2 located
about thirty rods southwest of No. I,
came in Saturday at a depth of forty
feet in the Dundee with a flow of
seventy barrels, but salt water keeps
seeping in, which has caused much
trouble. Bowman No. I continue to
encourage its owners by its steady
output of about sixty barrels daily.
The Crowley well that has perplexed Its drillers by producing a mixture
of oil and salt water Is yet a problem. The workmen drove a lead plug
into the bottom of the well several
weeks ago hoping to shut off the salt
water, but this proved unfavorabe
and they are now endeavoring to remove the filling, and expect to drill
deeper.
The House No. one, closely'watched for action of itself, was only flowing about thirty barrels, and drillers
blew same Wednesday with thirty
quarts of nitro-glycerine and obtained
a much increased flow. This well is
fifty-three feet in the Dundee.
House No. 2 has been spudded    in
and is located about eighty rods south
asa^j number on6.
Within a stones throw of House No.

The report of the Red Cross County
Nurse for the month of September
shows the following activities:
Twenty-two schools were visited
and children inspected. 450 children
were Included in this inspection. 44
of the these children had some of
their parents present at the inspection. Visits were made to the homes
of 45 of these children to confer with
the parents as to the needs of*'the
child.
Two hundred ninety-five of these
children had one or more defects.
Comparatively few corrections have
been made since the last inspection.
Miss Yoder feels there must be a
definite reason for this, and js anxious to help parents solve some of
these problems. She is always glad
to have you meet her at the school
and is planning to visit the homes of
many of the children.
Clare county teachers are doing
much for the boys ancl girls. Every
day they are talking health and trying to fix the habits of right living.
Clean bodies, clean minds, good food,
plenty of sleep and fresh air are
some of the slogans. Won't you help
them at home and make it easy for
the children to play the Health
Game.
Five hundred sixty decayed teeth
were found in this group of children.
Many of them were permanent teeth
and soon they will be past repair.
Few children have been in a dentist
chair, and their only conception of
dental work is "'pulling'm out". Let's
start a campaign for better teeth by
regular visits to the dentists office
and the eating of teeth building foods,
chief of which are milk and vegetables.
Thirty-six children were found tc
be laboring under v'sion defects. The
eye is the school child's main tool
with which he works. Dull tools
moan poor'work. Why not take them
to a good oculist and put them In
tehape so they can go the pace with
the normal child instead of being left
oehlnd and considered dull.
Diseased tonsils and adenoids still
come in for their share of the damage
and we urge that they be taken care
of before irreparable damage is done.

The - Sherwood Music School was
founded twenty five years ago by
William H, Sherwood, America's
greatest pianist, and has graduated
more successful concert pianists than
any other music school. The" Extension Department of this famous
school was established to extend the
opportunity for metropolitan conservatory training to music students
who find it impossible or inconvenient to leave home to obtain it.
Although the Extension work has
been an important and successful
feature of university study for years,
the Sherwood Music School is the
only conservatory of established
reputation in America to adopt this
plan, following the lead of such famous European schools as Trinity College, London, which has branches
and affiliated teachers all over the
world.
To carry out it's plan, the Sherwood
Music School establishes branches in
communities where the musical interest is sufficient to warrant it. Instead of sending a teacher from Chicago to take charge of the Branch,
the policy of the school is to select
the best local teachers and put them
In charge of the work. These teachers thus are elected to membership
on the Extension Department Faculty
and are made affiliated teachers of
the school.
After considerable investigation,
the school established a branch here,
and has made Miss Francis Jackson
an affiliated teacher, in charge of this
branch.
This should be a very good thing
for our town, as it makes it possible
for our boys and girls who are taking
music seriously and who want to get
a metropolitan conservatory training
and earn their teachers' certificates
and diplomas from an institution of
national repute, to do so without the
expense and inconvenience of leaving
home. This is a great advantage In
•every way.
TticT regular Conservatory Course
has been put Into printed form,
which, when studied under affiliated
teachers in the various branches" of
the Extension Department, leads to
the teacher's certificate and diploma.
This plan standardizes music teaching, and solves, the problem of how to
give credit to* high school-pupils for
outside music study. ;

One woman is dead and three other
people are recovering from serious
injuries at the Bronstetter hospital,

crashing into .an Ann Arbor freight
about three miles north and west of
Farwell on U. S. 10 Friday afternoon.

S'lng to their home at Inland, Grand

The accident occurred when the
driver of the car fa'led to see the oncoming freight from the north, although a train can be seen for nearly
cne-half mile. The party had encountered much rain that forenoon
while driving in the southern part of
the slate and a muddy windshield
prevented their view until it was too
late to stop. The driver turned his
front wheels in a vain effort to prevent the crash, but the locomotive
caught the auto smashing it to a

A PROCLAMATION
By the Governor
It has been the custom each year to set aside a week to be known as
Fire Prevention Week. Its purpose Is to call to the attention of all the
people of Michigan the havoc that fire causes in the State, both to
property and life. Every year in Michigan an enormous amount of
property has been destroyed. It has taken hard labor to produce this
property, and the State Is so much poorer Jby its loss. Many people
think that if insurance is carried the owner of the property is compensated for his loss; but insurance is only a means whereby the individual is protected and the loss distributed to all citizens of the State.
Therefore, Michigan is poorer each year by the amount of fire losses in
the State.
Last year there were 322 deaths by fire in Michigan. Life cannot
be restored, and this appalling number of deaths should awaken everyone In the State to the danger of fire and it should be ail incentive to
every citizen to remove all fire hazards from any property he owns.
The loss of life is largely in the homes and each citizen of Michigan
should use the greatest care in making the home safe.
More than fifty per cent of the lives lost in Michigan from fires
were caused by gasoline, naptha or other volatile explosives. Use. extreme care in handling such products. I urge .itizens to maljce an
effort to reduce the fire hazard; to dispose of accumulated Waste material, and see that chimneys, wiring, and heating equipment are in
good condition. .
The Michigan Fire Chiefs' Association is making splendid effort
to reduce the loss of property and life, and I urge, all citizens to join
together in making
FIRE  PREVENTION WEEK
* October 6th to October 11th, inclusive
a'notable one in this State.   Through united effort this loss of life, and
property can be greatly reduced.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the State this Tenth
day of September, in the year of Our Lord one thousand nlfte hundred
and thirty, and of the Gommon'wealth the ninety-fourth.
