LADIES' NIGHT OF
CHAMBER COMMERCE
IS HUGE SUCCES
>
Committee Provides Delightful and Varied Entertainment With Musical
Treats
The annual occasion with the ladies
as guests at the Clare Chamber or
Commerce banquet was celebrated at.
Hotel Doherty Tuesday evening, October 14th. In the absence of President T. Carl Holbrook, John Nelson
presented George White as toastmaster of the evening. Vice- president, E.
Gr Johnston summarized the activities
of the Chamber of Commerce during
the past twelve months, enumerating
the meetings and projects carried
out, such as agitation for concrete
highways to Clare, welfare work, and
fire prevention programs. He also
outlined larger projects to be carried
■** out during the coming year,
Mrs. W. W. Hurd, representing the
■Women's Clubs of Clare, spoke briefly. She commended the project ot
the annual flower show which closes
the garden contest each year, but
suggested the mayor and council
should proclaim a clean-up week in
'the spring as a preliminary to the
garden, and lawn contest. She further suggested that banners be made by
school children announcing clean-up
week and prizes be awarded for the
best garden and lawn. To stimulate
more interest she would have three
inspctors in each ward and three
general inspectors. This would create .a demand for a clearing house for
bulbs, and a sales agency for bulbs
be established, this she claimed
would lead to a winter fair. She
'praised Clare for its beauty and progress. -She said that Clare had men
and women of vision, but that we still
need a new city hall ip Clare, rooms
in which women's clubs could meet,
a'skating rink, a swimming pool and
the library open more days a week.
She praised the present program of
welfare work, but suggested that it
could be enlarged upon by the organizing of a Needle Work Guild with
each member contributing two garments per year.
r Mr. Clarence B. Holmes, of Lansing,
Superintendent of the Michigan
School for the Blind, was the principal speaker of the evening and proved himself to be a very clever after-
dinner speaker. He held the interest of the entire audience until the
close as he discussed "Americanism"
and placed his interpretation upon
that word. He brought to the minds
of his listeners that the recent census
rolls of Michigan showed more than
one-half of our population were foreign born or the children of foreign
parents. Reviewing briefly the periods of influx of foreign population to
this country he mentioned the Irish
influx in 1840, the German in 184S,
_ _._- an in 1860, the AustrianS ahtt
Itussians and Russian Jews in 1880,
and all these people came from suppressed and oppressed stations in life
to "The Land of the Free" to help
make it a "Home of the Brave." H"-*
then asked "Who is An American",
with over fifty-one per cent being
either foreign born or offspring of
foreign born. He again put us at ease
when he brought to mind that just as
the American-born child rebels at
speaking his parents native language,
throws off as rapidly as possible all
his fore'gn connections, just so he
becomes an American and the foreigner becomes assimilated.
Mr. Holmes feels tht the negro
problem is a serious one, and believes
they can never be assimilated nor
handled wisely jn America. He deplored that fast transportation, radio,
and mass production in this modern
age are drawing young people from
things spiritual, and declared that
"The Church is the Bulwark of the
American Constitution and of true
Americanism" for a noble nation ol
ignoble household is an Utter impos*
sibility."
Messrs F. J, Radey, of Cadillac, and
George Boyd, of Clare school faculty,
contributed to the musical part of the
program with duets and solos in a
very capable and uirque way to tho
delight of all.
Our own Mrs. Eva McAllister was
greeted with applause that gave
evidence of the esteem in which sho
is held and the appreciation of her
voice, when she sang "Just Awearyin'
foi- You" and "The Gypsy Trail." Mr.
Radey played  her accompaniment.

DETROIT CHAPTER
D. A. R. DEDICATES
FOREST OCT. 4TH
Inspiring Program Rendered
as Forest is Returned to
State and Tablet is
Unveiled
Some time ago the Louisa St. Clair
Chapter, Daughter of the American
Revolution, of Detroit, secured five
hundred acres of cutover land for the
purpose of reforesting. They have
planted 104,900 trees on this land
using White, Norway and Jack pine
in proper proportions. A little jack
pine was used on land lacking cover.
Saturday, October 4th some two
dozen people from Detroit motored
through Clare and Harrison to the
well known state reserve on the
Houghton Lake road and there In
beautiful ceremony dedicated the forest and unveiled a tablet.
Promptly at two o'clock in the
afternoon a Bugle call was sounded
by Harold Marsh, a lad of about fourteen. America was sung by the assembly and a beautiful prayer react
by the Chaplain Emeritus, Mrs. Jared
W. Finney. Mrs. Wort Payson Doty,
Chaplain of the chapter then gave
scripture reading and lead in--'a ■■•re*
sponsive reading followed by Joyce
Kilmer's poem "Trees." Following
this introduction came the most important part of the program—the giving of the forest back to the people
of the state of Michigan and to all
the people everywhere. This pavt
was so sweetly and ably taken* by
Mrs. Etta Wilson, chairman of the
conservation committee. Mrs. Wil-
son is one of the descendants of the
Indian Chief Petoskey. She shows
her blood and is very proud of it, we
understand, tho Blie made no reference to it herself. She impressed one
with the deep love that she bore tor

DEATH CLAIMED
MRS. WM. TEETER
FRIDAYAFTERNOON
Burial Made Sunday in Family Lot at Rosebush
Cemetary
_—__—_—.    t
The passing'^of Mrs. Elizabeth Teeter at her home last Friday afternoon
brought sadness to the many neighbors and relatives who daily visited
her sick room and cared for her during her -illness covering a period of1
about twelve weeks. A complete
nervous breakdown from which she
could not overcome, - gradually sapped
her life away, and having made preparations for her Eternal Home, death
to her was sweet.
Elizabeth Ann House was born at
Lemonville, county of York, Ontario,
February 7th 1872, and when she was
three years old her parents brought
their family to Monroe, Michigan,
which was their home until 1878
»when they came to Isabella county,
locating on a farm north and west of
Rosebush. Here she grew to womanhood and the memories of these years
were ever treasured within her. In
1906 she was united in marriage with
Wm. S. Teeter, of Cadillac, and where
they made their home for about a.
year. Returning to Rosebush they
purchased a farm located in the same
section with her parents' homestead
and here their only son, George was
born.
In 1920 they took up their home on
east Fifth street and where her

TWO MUSKRAT TRAPPERS
-SERVING THIRTY DAYS
IN COUNTY BASTILE
John Arnold, of Howell, and Edward Holt, of Lansing, are serving
thirty days in the county jail for trapping on the Muskegon river near
Temple, Sheriff Woods and Deputy
Newton Kress visited their quarters
in search of liquor and found aged
remnants of their efforts, and in sight
of this plunder were twenty muskrat
pelts nailed to the wall, These and
forty traps were confiscated and the
law violators taken into Justice court
Neither could pay the fine of $25 and
costs imposed, consequently they are
occupying cells for thirty days.
Errett Austin was returned to Ionia
Sunday by Sheriff Woods for breaking
parole. He was recently sentenced
to sixty days in county jail for steal*
ing chickens.
CONG. WOODRUFF
ADDRESSES HARRISON
BOARD 0FC0MMERCE
Talks On The Subject of Insular Possessions of The
U. S. and Their Value
In Times of Peace
and War.
The Harrison Chamber of Commerce held its monthly meeting on
Tjiegday evening. Approximately one
hu_fl.§_ fifty members and rural
guests were present. Ail excellent
dinner was served by the Women's
Auxiliary of the Congregational
church. Visiting hour, dinner, talk-
symposium and smoker and business
meeting were completely over by
eight-thirty, slow time, so that nd
man present on reaching the portals
of his home was compelled to furnish
an alibi of any brand to an inquiring
wife.
Congressman Woodruff was at his
best. In fact, he is always that way.
Toastmaster Gibson introduced him
as one of Michigan's best national
representatives, but all present were
of the opinion that "Roy" is not only
that, but he ia actually the best. Upon
arising he was greeted with a thunderous clapping of hands, which
virtually made the good old church
building rock from basement to belfry. Congressman Woodruff is very
worthy of all this, for he is a friend
to everyone. Quick to act when appealed to on any occasion, the wishes
of his humblest constituent never go
unnoticed or neglected for even a
moment.
The Congressman's address was
extremely interesting and unusually
instructive. He held his audience
spellbound with interest for over an
hour. The time passed all too quickly. England has thirty coaling
stations throughout the world; the
United States, three. Should she-
choose to do so, Japan could wrest
the Philippines from our country in
just a few hours. We would be simply helpless, These latter people

HUNTING AND FISHING CLUB TO HOLD
ANNUALBANQUET
Address  With  Pictures  of
Micigan Wild Life a Pleasing Feature for Evening
The Harrison Hunting and Fishing
Club will hold its annual banquet in
the Wilson Opera House, Friday evening, October 24. This is the fifth
event of the kind sponsored by the
Club, which goes under the caption
herein mentioned.. However, it is
really an all-Clare-county organization. It membership is not merely
local, but extremely cosmopolitan.
Lake, Clare, Temple, Farwell, Lak.
Geoige, rural sections, along with
Harrison, are always well represented at the banquet board. It is hoped
this w'll prove true the present season.
An excellent program is being prepared by the officials, among them
being Joseph Ladd of County Fair
•fame and Edmond Woods, who never
fails to function in excellent form as
the "live-wire" secretary. In addition these men are supported loyally by scores of enthusiastic laymen.
The game trappers have always been
a huge success.
The moving pictures of Michigan
wild life will prove delightful. Harr'-
«on women are noted for their skill i*!
the art of cookery, so the eats will
prove most satisfying beyond description. There is to be joyous community singing, sipping of prime
Budd Lake water, just enough smoking to scare the (bugs ever present
where people congregate) away,
swapp'ng of pleasing yarns (more or
less bewhiskei'ed from being retold
time and time again), general laughing at proper intervals and lastly an
hour or more of delightful dancing*.
{This last feature near the closing
hour of Harrison festal occasions has
made the town famous. Too, it must
uot be forgotten that Mike Fanning,
pioneer merchant and joke artist, wii!

A cordial invitation is extended to
all. Come and enjoy what you will
say in later years was the most
happy occasion of your life.
EIGHT INJURED
IN AUTO CRASH
SUNDAYEVENING
Cashier  C. H.  Sutherland
and   Family    Painfully
Hurt In   Accident
Near Rosebush.
Eight people were pa'nfully injured early Sunday evening when two
autos in which they were riding
crashed headon one mile south or
Rosebush on U. S- 27.
Cashier C. H. Sutherland of the
Clare • County Savings..Ba__i_r his wif#
and granddaughter, Lila Sutherland,
and Mr. and Mrs. Homer Douglas and
son, Robert, were returning home after an afternoon's drive about 6:30
when a car driven by Wm. Rearick,
and his wife, of Shepherd, suddenly
darted out of the line of traffic in an
attempt to pass the car ahead of .him,
and directly in front of the Sutherland car. So quick was the act done
that there was no way of preventing
the accident.by either party.
Mr. Sutherland was the most seriously injured, having received several cuts and bruises about the head
and legs, while the other occupants
were more or less bruised about the
head and body. Probably the less injured was little Robert, who when
the cars collided was occupying the
small seat in the center of the large
Studebaker. He was thrown over the
front seat and landed hetween the
back of his grandfather ancl the lower
part of the seat head downward ancl
escaped with a small scratch on the
face and two small bruises on .the
body. All were brought to their
homes here and are recovering nicely.
Mr. Rearick, who was driving a
Chevrolet cOupe, received a deep cut
in the lower lip and a bruised chest,
while Mrs. Rearick, by the force of
the impact, was-"thrown through the
door to the pavement and received
cuts about the side of her head and
ou one leg. She was rendered un,i
conscious for several hours. Both
were taken to the Bronstetter hospital at Mt. Pleasant, where they are
convalescing.

CLARE FAILS TO MAKE
SCORE AGAINST ST. LOUIS
Locals  Played   Gladwin   Team
Yesterday On Home
Gridiron
The St. Louis football team proved
too much for the local team last Friday. The first- half of the game was
very even with both teams making
threats "to score. St. Louis had a
very fine ball carrier in their right
half back.
During the second half this man
got away for some splendid gains.
A play that started through the
line finally resulted in a 50 yard run.
■The ball carrier was finally stopped
by the secondary defense about
twelve yards from the goal line. But
in four attempts the touch down was
made and the extra point gained by a
line smash. The score was 7-0. For
the remainder of the game things
were very even with Clare doing only
a fair amount of ground gaining. The
game was very cleverly played by
both'teams. Runge, Jordan, Jones
and McKinnon played well for Clare.
Gladwin   Here Yesterday
This proved to be the hardest game
so far on the schedule, Gladwin bringing  an  unusually  strong  team
The game was played on the field
just north of the school house with
the kickoff at 3:30.

The Petroleum Oil Co. rotary drill
on the Citizens State Bank lease i«

and the drill is now on its downward
course.
Tt is reported that the Petroleum
Oil Co. will ne::t Week begin the
erection of a derrick in Surrey towh^
ship on either section 1 or 2. This
would make four wells in the course
of. development in this section.
VERNON WELLS
The drill at the J. Mahar-Ragau
well is expected to enter the Dundee
at any time.
At the Battle well gas was struck
Tuesday at a depth of nearly 1400
feet. A test places the flow at one
ancl one-half million cubic -feet.
At the Wm. Mahar well on section
27, the bit has entered the Traverse
sand.
Since the blowing of the House
well with thirty quarts of ' nitroglycerine on October 1st the flow has
increased to about sixty barrels a
day.
On account of one casing becoming
uncoupled and going crooked the drillers of the Scott well were forced to
skid the derrick and commence the
drilling of a new one.
The promoters at the Crowley well
have decided to go deeper and are
now drilling in the formation below
the Dundee. '
The Bowman No. 1 gusher went oh

off the cap which confines the flow
to the pipe line. . .
