BOY INJURED WHILE
HOHTiNG SATURDAY
Edw. Williams Received Charge
of Shot When Father Shoots
•     at Rabbit
While enjoying a few hours hunting
last. Saturday, Charles Williams painfully injured his son, Edward, 14,
accidently when the lad moved his
position without notifying him.
It seems that upon • entering a
woods Mr, Williams placed the boy at
a certain point and told him to stay
there while he took another. Sometime later the dog started a rabbit
which Mr. Williams sighted and shot,
but immediately thereafter heard the
screams of his son..
The .charge of shot entered 'the
boy's side and scattering shot struck
him in the neck. He was taken tc
Br. W. F. Clute where it was found
that he was not dangerously wounded, the missiles having only pierceu
the flesh, and he is able to be about

Organization   With    Community Band Entertain
Merchants at Hotel
A representative group of Saginaw
Wholesalers were in Clare Wednesday afternoon and with them came
the famous Saginaw and Eddy Community hand,, led by Charles Mann.
The band entertained the school
children and about fifty visitors with
a concert at the school auditorium
immediately upon their arrival.
At 6:30 the Saginaw men entertained the merchants of this county
and Coleman and Rosebush to an
elaborate banquet at Hotel Doherty,
music was furnished by their band
and a talented male quartet.
T. Carl Holbrook, President of
Clare Chamber of Commerce welcomed the Saginaw men, and C. H.
Sutherland, G. R. Bogan, Fred Morgan, James S. Bicknell^ Ben -Merger
and James Tatman expressed Clare's
appreciation of Saginaw and her
business men. Charles Watson, of
Saginaw was toastmaster of the evening and chose to call the function,
a "Good Fellowship Meeting," .the-
purpose of which was to build confidence.
The main speech of the evening
was given by "Charles Haensel, secretary of Saginaw's Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Haensel is recognized
throughout the nation as an expert
on economic problems. He haB
brought Saginaw to the attention of
the whole nation, and he himself is
a past" president the United States
Association of Chamber Secretaries.
He said in part, that each city has
a personality, and that as you visit a
strange city you are bound to feel
that influence. A city is either progressing or slipping. We are uot to
be alarmed over a meager 12 per cent
of business done by chain stores, because any live thinking group of local
merchants can beat a group of men
who are hired--to think. He said that
as in past years alarm was aroused
unduly over Department stores and
Mail Order houses just so was this
alarm over chain stores misjudged.
He thought that the ultimate result

ANNUAL FOOTBALL
GAME ARMISTICE
DAY WITHMIDLAND
Visiting  City  Brings  Fifty
Piece Band. Teams Feted In Evening
The bi;< game of "the year is coming—the game to which Clare High
always points. Midland is- thfe only
class B team that Clare tackles in
football. It was* only two years ago
that Clare and Midland renewed their
contests in ' football and basketball
but" already a keen interest has developed. The first football, game was
played at Clare and the visitors went
home sadly defeated 18 to'0. But last
.•ear the tackles were turned and
Clare lost in the last few minutes of
play *. to 0.*, The team played a fine
game. This year the- Midland, team
is just as strong ahd our boys are improving with each game so it looks
like"a great contest.
The game is to be played Armistice
Day, November 11th. While the game
is the big attraction it- is not all. The
50-piecer Midland High School band,
will be here to vie with the Clare
baud. A large delegation of students
will also be on hand to cheer their
team..
At night Miss Morgan, of the hom'e
economics department, will supervise
a banquet given by the Athletic Association lo the two teams and their
coaches. This custom was observed
for the first'time last year and proved a huge Success. It helps develop
good sportsmanship and a moie
friendly spirit.
Last year the ICiwalils Club* of
Midland Invited-the Clare'"Chamber
of Commerce as their guests at a
banquet whieh was- 'greatly enjoyed
by all who attended. *- This year they
are to be they guests of the Chamber
of Commerce. 'Mr. Herbert J. Lewis,
world traveler and lecturer will be
the principal speaker.

the American Legion an invitation lo
attend the game as their guests.

A power dam is being built across
the North Branch of the Tobacco river, about three quarters of a mile
north #f the W. C. Cornwell ranch
building, northeast of Clare, for the
purpose.'of providing electric light
and power for the ranch.
The dam is to be constructed of
concrete placed upon steel piling and
will raise a fourteen foot head o*
water in this stream. It is estimated
that '10 K. W. or 50 horsepower will
be generated if used continously, but
as the requirements of the ranch will
not draw upon the power* all of the
time, at least twice that amount of
power will be available.
The Cornwell ranch consists of several thousand acres and is owned ancl
operated by Mr. W. C. Cornwell of
Saginaw, who was for many years engaged in the packing house industry
as the owner of a large plant in Saginaw, and later connected with Swift
and Company. Mr. Cornwell is «nov,
retired from active business relations
and spends a considerable portion of
his time at the ranch where he has
a summer home which is one of the
show places of this section.
While a general farming industry
is carried on at the ranch with more
than 600 acres under cultivation, the
raising of pure bred cattle and sheep
is the speciality. Modern barns ancl
other farm buildings require the
3lectrical power that will be provided
by this plant.
The stream at the point where the
duni is being placed has .vblumn o.
1600 cubit feet of water per minute,
and as it is fed entirely by springs,
the Yolumn does not diminsh during
the dry weather as was proven during
the month of July of the present year
when a careful check was taken each
day and the supply of water did not
vary from the record kept during the
months of normal rain fall.
The North Branch is one of tlu-
best trout streams in this section of
the state and the highest temperatures'
of the water during the hottest days
of last July was 55 degrees. Thu
power *dam will create a pond estimated to be about thirty acres in
area, and Mr* Cornwell expects to
make it a rearing place for speckled,

ROAD COMM'SION
ADD FOUR TON
TRUCK AND PLOW
v .    . . ____ ^ r
Order Placed Through Local Agency at Road Show
in Landing Last Week
The County Road Commission,
which consists of'Robert Hutchinson
and John Xsliiie, of- Clare, O. C Somerville, Lake, with -John White as
engineer and Samuel Bruce, Superintendent, who haVe handled the public ro.ad building fund with, the determination to make the highways
the .pride q£ ("We county, have again
taken steps for this future program.
As reported through these column,
several issues ago, the Board did not
ask for any maintenance appropriation^-at the October session ot the
Board of Supervisors. This was made
possible by the careful handling of
the funds, together with the aid to a ,
certain degree by the weight tax that.
is returned each year to tha eounty-
and the contract with the state to
maintain the eighty miles of Federal
roads. The commission has had this
annual contract since the county road
system has lieen in effect.
Last spring the Board added an International Six-Speed Special truck
with a one and one-half yard capacity
to their equipment and this met with
such satisfaction that last weekNliey
again placed an order with the International Harvester Company, through
their local agent, S. A. Wilkinson, for
a truck and plow, when at the Road
Machinery Show at Lansing.   .
This is a W3 Pour toil, truck, weighing 14000 pounds'and has a carrying
capacity of 16,800 pounds. It will be
equipped with Westinghouse airbrakes, enabling the driver to stop
almost instantly when obstruction is
viewed at short range and a .Baker
Speed snow plow. A four yard gravel
box is attached and has a capacity of
handling six yards.
The truck is also constructed so
that a twelve foot spring road scraper can be attached.
The machine will be delivered
about November 20th with a special,
paint job and lettered for' the Clare
.County Road Commission.
Twelve thousand feet of snow fencing has also been purchased to aid
in keeping the Snow removed from
the one hundred and twenty-thfee
miles additional county and township
roads this winter, which has been
brought about largely by the consolidating of the several school? where
buses are being used to transport the
pupils to Farwell, Harrison and Lake
George schools.
The Board publish a monthly statement of finances and *also of their
meetings, giving the taxpayers a
splendid opportunity to keep in touch
with their accomplishments.
