How extensively automobile prices
are receding in the face of constantly
improving quality is aptly illustrated
by a comparison of prices of the new
1931 Chevrolet six as against prices
in 1928 when the old four cylinder
car was being built.
Following the extensive reductions      ... tJ, .   ■

' Disscusion
Farmers ana    farm    women    who
wish to improve their poultry flocks
will.have an    opportunity    to    study
their problems with the help of Mr.
J. • A.    Hancock,    Extension    Poultry
man of Michigan State College next
Tuesday,  January 13.    Mr.  Hancock
will he in charge of an all day meeting beginning at 10:00 A. M. in the
Clare High School building.    He will
discuss raising- chicks, hous'ng, feeding and sanitation.   Poultry on many
farms Is' carried along as a  "necessary nuisance/*   However there ,is no
argument for'any   farm   keeping   a
from a four to a six ranged from ?495
up to ?715 for seven body types.   In
other Words, the six with its two extra cylinders is priced lower throughout the line—except for the phaeton,
which is built primarily for the overseas  market—than was the smaller,
less economical and less refined car.
A model-by-model price comparison
reveals that every model popular in
the domestic market is at least $20
lower today than was the corresponding .four cylinder model, and that the
price differential varies as much as
$120 in favor of the new 1931 sport
coupe   which  replaced  the  old  four-
cylinder  sport  cabriolet  in  the 192S
line.
The 1931 roadster, .at $475, is $20
lower than the roadster of the 192S
line. The coach, now $545, is $40
lower, and the present six-cylinder'
standard coupe lists at $535, or $60
less, than its four-cylinder prototype
of two years ago. At the top of the
four-cylinder price range stood the
convertible landau, priced at $715,
while today the special sedan is the
aristocrat of the six-cyliner line and
lists at only $650, or a reduction of
$65. Similarly, the. present spor£
coupe at $575 represents a reduction
orer the four-cylinder sport cabriolet
of $120.
Receding prices do not tell the
complete story, however. While
prices have come down, quality has
consistently   climbed,   and   many  ac-
and co-ordinate the work of various
commissions dealing with . welfare
institutions. At the present there
are five commissioners operating
with the welfare department, all of
which, however, act independently.
"It is difficult to arrive at the conclusion that some amendment should
be made to coordinate all welfare
efforts under one head. The purpose
of this non-salaijied - committee will
be to make an analysis of welfare
statutes, study the causes leading up
to the congestion in state institut-
tions, and survey the child welfare
needs of the state," Governor Brack-
er said.
Members of the commission are:
Fred R. Johnson, Detroit; Judge
Frank L- Covert, Pontiac; Fred M.
Butzel, Detroit; Judge Ruth Thompson, Muskegon; A. L. Miller, Battle
Creek; Mrs. Madeline Couzens Yaw,
Detroit, and Asa H. Aldrich, Harrison
Two suspicious characters were in
the city last Friday stopping at the
JZemmer Garage leaving an old model
Chevrolet truck for repairs, stating
they would be back Monday for the
machine. They stated to Mr. Zemmer that were hauling posts and the
truck was equipped for the work.
They drove, away In an old Ford
coupe.
It was later learned that these men,
known as Edwin Cassidy, 26, formerly of Ogemaw, and Charles Hodgins,
aged 21, formerly of Saginaw, were
in custody, taken by'Midland authorities.
Sheriff Day, of Midland, had been
on the lookout for Cassidy for some
time, and with the aid of State policp,
he was located in the attic of the
Courtright -home^of that "city; aiid*-
upon the appearance of officers, he
leveled his gun oh them, but Trooper
Biggs shot him in the head before
Cassidy was able to fire. He was
taken to the Bay City hospital and
Is in a very serious condition. He)
was an escaped convict from Ionia.
Hodgklns was taken into custody
and placed into the Bay City jail, and
Midland sheriff states that he has
three convictions against him, one
being in Saginaw county.
The truck was claimed by Black-
hurst Garage of Midland, who held a
mortgage on it and it was returned
to them Tuesday,
Again intense sorrow abounds in
the hearts of Harrison residents ovc
the sudden demise of one of its most
beautiful and talented young women,
Miss Gayla Harper, only daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. Wallace Harper. Her
virtually young life of but a quartet
of a century came to a close Tuesday
morning, January 6, 1931, following
an operation for appendicitis at
Mercy Hospital, Cadillac.
Miss Harper was an unusually gifted personality. She possessed a
voice of remarkable sweetness, and
many hearts were soothed by her
gift of song.
She was never so happy as when
bringing gladness or hope into the
hearts of both old and young. Her
life work was that of a teacher.
While her proficiency in the rendition
of song was instrumental in soothing
the souls of many, still her greatest;
handiwork was at all times to be |
seen in the school room. Her ability
to mould the character of boys and
girls under her charge, along lines of
right conduct, was exceedingly skilful, indeed. Her entire teaeh'ng ex-
pez-ience took place in the public
schools of the city of McBain.
Miss Harper was born in Harrison,
December 25, 1905. She received her
education, in the home schools aria
Central State Teachers' College. She
is survived by her parents, three
brothers, Howard, of Bridgeport,
Conn.; David and Rex at home; her
grandmother, Mrs. Keeny, of Cohoe-
tah, Mich.
The funeral will be held from the
Congregational church, Harrison, Friday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock. The
officiating clergyman will be Rev.
Dawe of Clare. The body -will rest
in Maple Grove cemetery.
The parents, children and Mrs.
Deller enjoyed a pleasant afternoon,
December 24th.
A program was given by the school
.assisted by the Misses Elizabeth,
Mildred, and Maxine Krell, who
furnished organ and violin music,
"fhe young people gave a one act
play, "Christmas in the Air,"' as the
last number, which was enjoyed by
all.   The cast was as follows:
Elizabeth Krell, Frances Kappling
er, Emma Nass, Mildred Krell, Genevieve Colmus, Maxine Krell, William Leis, Rolland Krell, Leo Colmus, Earl Gilmore and Morris Dora.
The room was colorful with season's decorations and the' tree brilliant and contained a gift for each
child.
