Chairman Holbrook Appears in
Favor-of Red Gross and Urges
All To Give Loyal Support
Glare" observed the twelfth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice Tuesday by ceremonies fittingly
arranged by the Walter H.. Larman
Post of the American Legion.
During the early morning flags
were displayed before the various
•business places on McEwan street
and adjoining streets and each waved
silently in the air a message of their
meaning ancl a passerby thoughts instantly reverted bade to the scenes
and commotion of November 11, 191S
when all the. universe went wild with
joy of the glad news that the world'?
greatest struggle was over.
Business was suspended at ten-
thirty o'clock and the high school
band appeared promptly at the corner
of Fourth and McEwan streets, from
which point they led the parade including color guards and Legionaires
and citizens to the school auditorium
where .the school children joined.
Post Commander Parent was in
charge of the program and introduij
ed Rev. Hurd who offered prayer and
asked the Great Divine for a special
blessing to those who made the great
sacrifice for our country, and the band
then played the Military march.
Mrs. A. E. Mulder gave a talk on
"The Legionaire and his duty iu
1917." She opened her talk by stating she felt that the " women were
highly honored at this particular
time as two were upon the program
as speakers. Of those "back home"
the women gained most and lost most
in sacrificing their sons during this
great conflict. She brought to her
hearers memories of events of '16, '17
and '18, outstanding were enlistment
and drafting of men, pledging support
for democracy, war drives, Liberty
bond campaigns and mobilization of
troops. "    ■ "    ...-._:■ ;•-•
She further stated that the world
need not be informed but reminded
of lesson's of war. i We learned that
there was something wrong with us
as a people as about seventy per cent
of the young men drafted into the
navy, marine corps and army were
rejected, but with the many great
h'.ndicaps our government was able
to concentrate and pull together to
accomplish the task awaiting them.
The rich and poor were-equal, fighting
aide by side.
Among  the   many  lessons   learned
through this grseat struggle was the
..better    conception   of       democracy.
mingling of the various creeds, ancl
the great law of religion, service and
.love.
The flrst legion was founded in
Paris in March 15, 1919,' and in the
following May the American Legion
was organized with Theodore Roose

Me. This national organization have
secured compensation for their
wounded buddies, hospital care, vocational training* and promoted the

CLARE C. OF C. ENTERTAINS KIWANIS
CLOBjOF MID-LAN.
Midland and Glare Business
Men Again Enjoy Good-
fellowship Existing Between the Two Cities
The annual event of the Clare
Chamber of Commerce and the,, Midland Kiwanis Club entertaining each
other alternately each year took
Place at the Barnes' Cafe . Tuesday
evening wlien our local organization
had as thehJ guests the jolly bunch
•from our neighboring city. This *a If
fair is ahvays preceded by a football
game between the respective high
school teams.
The evening program was opened
by T. Carl Holbrook who welcomed
the Kiwanians of Midland. Arthur
Winston, president of the visiting
club, responded and introduced G. R.
Bogan, Supt of our city school. Mr.
Bogan gave a short address outlining
the progressive work of the Kiwanians ot Midland and how they very
•ably had sponsored the 4-H club
work, -intelligent, farming, an annual
football game with Clare and tho
teaching of good sportsmanship.
Herbert A. Lewis, of Irish birth,
and a graduate of Dublin University,
gave tiie principal speech of the ev*
ning. He portrayed a vivid picture of
life on the high seas and spoke from
actual experience, having spent
eleven years as a British sailor on
commercial boats. He classified th'e
sea carriers into three types: th,**1
Battleship; the Grayhound passenger
and the common freighter, He spoke
of the latter in detail, painting in
Words a graphic picture of how a
slow freighter is tossed and buried
in the waves during a hurricane oh the
sea, how food becomes repulsive, the
boatswain dictatorial and a sailor
loses his personality.
He* regretted that National snob
bery existed, but stated that it
should be deplored, that rival navies
never begot peace, but National priae
Was a healthy condition. Mr. Lewis
enjoyed the strictest attention from
his audience as he lead them many
times in detail through many of his
trips and experiences and which was
well received.
The Evart male quartet entertain
ed with several vocal selections and
Messrs. Boyd and Radey delighted
the audien_4 in their characteristic
and humorous duets and solos. Mr.
Radey also lead the audience in a
fifteen minute period ot communitj
singing in which he worked the
spirit of good fellowship to the highest pitch and the Midland octet favored with several excellent selections.
This was all blended into a background of mtisic by the local school
band under the direction of Geoi'ge
Boyd.
During the time the guests were
partaking of the excellent dinner
served by the proprietress, Mrs. Nora
Barnes, Bert McLaughlin with violin
and Jesse Hampton at the piano entertained with ma'ny selections of old
time music.
In clo.ing Mr. Holbrook took occasion to thank Messrs. Began, Boyd,
Radney, McLaughlin, Hampton, and
all others who helped make the meeting a success..

Eighteen members of the. dlarc
Good Literature Club met Tuesday
evening at the home of Mrs. John
Asline. The meeting was called to
order by the president.   ,
"The Value of the Bible as Literature" was given by Mrs. Hurd. Literature must portray the human soul of
man.
Dr. Wm. Lyan Phelps said, "You
cap learn more about human nature
by reading the Bible, then you can by
living in New York City.".
Mrs. Hurd stressed that the Bible
is the world's best seller, that it is
human and a revelation of life. The
Old Testament deals with the history
of a race and the law of the people.
The story of the flood is dramatic
and simple and if told to a child they
will always remember it. The twenty-
third psalm is said to be the most
practical of all things ever written
The most sublime poetry is found in
the psalms.
The stories of the New Testament
are short and beautiful so anyone can
understand. The book of John is
known as the boOk of love.
In closing Mrs. Hurd "reminded us
things were not in the -Bible because
they were, but because they were
worked out in reality before. She
brought to our minds how patient
Christ was at the last even on Calvary.
In a very interesting manner Mrs,.
Sherwood told us of the "Religious
Debt to Science". Progressive religion
owes a good deal to the pioneers of
religion. The vastness of the uni-
v rse has given us a greater view of
our God. The Holy Spirit is the
spirit of tr\ith and works in all ages.
Religion and Science should and can,
do much for each other. Mrs, Sherwood said science was nothing up to
the time of 154-. '
The next meeting of the Club -will
take place November 25, at tho home
of'Mrs. A. S. Crigier. .. ■ H.*< _V
Clare played ah outstanding toot-
ball game of the season Armistice
day4 when they "met theii- most formidable foe, Midland, on the locai
gridiron.
Previous to the game the bands of
both schools paraded on McEwan
street, led by Kenneth ^titter carrying
the stars and * stripes. The Clare
musicians numbering forty in the
lead in their attractive uniforms of
green and white and the flashy sixty-
piece Midland band and drum majoi-,
attired in uniforms of blue and gold
presented a very ususual sight upon
our streets. Upon arriving at the
athletic field the combined bands
numbering one hundred pieces play
ed the Star Spangled Banner wliile
the crowd and teams stood at attention and Old Glory was hoisted to thc-
top of the flag mast. Following this
each group took their place with their
respective l-ooters, Midland to the
north and Clare opposite, with their
goal forts bedecked in th. colors oi
their schools.
Although Midland carried home the
bacon with a substantial margin, the
game was hard fought with both
teams striving for possession of the
pigskin and endeavoring to carry it
across the goal line at all times.
Clare fought against odds, Midland
bringing a much heavier ancl more
seasoned team, with a record of not
having been defeated by a class B.
team, and holding Oavosso's class A
team to a 13 to 6 score.   .
McKinnon, Runge, Upthegrove and
Blystone were undoubtedly the stars
of Clare's lineup with the whole team
putting their best into the game.
After the game the two teams wit!'
their coaches and Messrs Henderson.
Parker and Johnston were guests of
the Clare Athletic Association " at _t
banquet served "at the school .house-
First Quarter
In the first quarter Clare received
Midland's kicko*t. at their 25 yard lin<=-
carrying it back to the 40 yard line.
The ball went over to Midland on
downs and after several line plunge.
and exchange of punts, Midland car- '
ried the ball to Clare's one foot line
and on fourth down pushed it over
for a touch down, failing to gain their
extra point with an unsuccessful
pass. Clare received the kickoff on
their 30 yard- line carrying the ball
back to their 46. After a series ot
plays Midland received the ball on :._
