Wilson had brought copies of old,
Sentinels and Couriers containing
some Of Clare's history and offered to
read them. These articles vividly
brought back memories to the pio

Main street in the early days showing
W. H. Elden's jewelry store, Mr,
Cooley's store, and the home of C. W.
Perry had been brought by Mrs. S.

being very interesting to all.
Mrs. W. S. McAllister sang a
beautiful solo entitled "Coming"
"Home" and was enthusiastically applauded. Mrs. A. H. Horton was called upon and presented Mrs. W. H.
Elden with a handsome vase filled
with lovely flowers. Mrs. Horton
■gave' a very fitting presentation
speech, felling Mrs. Elden how the

years of service and what an inspiration her example of Christian life had
been to 'all of us. Mrs. Elden re-
i sponded in a few heartfelt remarks,
Mrs. Horton, then presented Mes-
dames Zemmer and Artiboe .each a
:* gift from the Guild, bidding them
happiness in their new Homes, and
■ thanking them for their faithful Service in the society and church. A gift
was also sent to Mrs. Allen as she
was unable to be present.
This closed the program and Mss.

each end of the table.
There were fifty people present,
just the number of years that Mrs.

One of the joys of this life is the
meeting of old friends and meetings
to honor the achievements of our M-
lowmen and women who have helped
in the betterment of our lives. Such
a meeting was held by the Clare
Study Club Tuesday, when many
members drove over our scenic highway to Houghton lake to meet with
Mrs. E. H. Waller. Mrs. Waller has
been elected honorary member for
life in the Club in remembrance of
her years of service for the Clubs in
Clare. She was president of the Kay-
kakee Club for three years and when
the Clare Study Club was organized
in its ste-.d she held the office of
piesident for four years. In recognition of this mark of honor to her,
Mrs. Waller invited the CJub to her
beautiful homo, Tamarack Inn hi the
lake.
We arrived about ten o'clock at the
Inn and were cordially greeted by Mr.
,-;nd Mrs, Waller. The men chauffeurs, J. H. Wilson, Wm. H. Caple and
Rev. Ddwe, who were invited to attend, were left in Mr. Waller's charge
as the ladies swarmed into the pleasant homo, and male comfortable until tlie lur.cii.2on committee invited
V'.exa to the dining room where a delicious luncheon was served. Yellow
daffodils adorned the tables, and one
Ir.ble was reserved for the men as a
reward of merit. Mrs. Johanna
M^.ck, a charter member, asked grace
before the gr.osts were seated. After
t'.e luncheon the guests formed their
chairs in a circle to listen to the business meeting and program. To the
charter members present who feel
themselves pioneers in the club life
of Clare, this meeting was charged
with tender thoughts and memories.
The way has been long and work
•sometimes hard, but it has been
worthwhile, and the presence of the
newer members were an inspiration
to them—they take up the torch and
can'y en. The pioneer members
present were Mrs. Alice Doherty,
Mrs. Sarah Doheity, of Mackinac Island, Mrs. B. Waller, Mrs. Johanna
Mack, and Mrs. J. H. Wilson. Other
guests present were Mrs. A. Dawe, a
new member, Mrs. Madge Lamb, of
Farwell, and Miss Francis Anderson,
who made a representative of our
beloved juniors.
This meeting had been styled the
Educational Day, and was changed to;
Past Presidents' Day, but this did not
lose its character of educational
value. The Club has had Seven
presidents and all were present except Mrs. Ethel Allen, of Chicago,
find her absence was regretted and.
tender thoughts came to our minds
tar her. The presidents in their
order are Mrs. Waller, Mrs. W. H,
Bicknell, Mrs. E. A. Anderson, Mrs.
W. H. Caple, Mrs. A. E. Mulder, Mrs.
Ethel Allen, and the present officer,

given charge of the program, and she
called upon Mrs. Waller, as our honored first president, to give a talk on
the history of the Kaykakee Club.

METHODIST CHURCH
HELD BUSINESS SESSION FRMY EVENING
Dr. Auner, of India, Gives Interesting Lecture Following
Meeting
The business session of the local
Methodist church Board was held'
Friday evening, following a sumptuous supper served by the Aid Society. The District Superintendent
presided, and was greatly pleased
with the reports, and the general
conditions in the church, which he
said were among the best in the District. There has been the largest attendance and the best interest in
both the Sunday School, and the Epworth League that there has been for
several years. The same is true with
the two women's societies. The outstanding feature has been not only
numbers and interest, but the best
working spirit of unioir and cooperation, in a long time. Even the 'finances, in spite of the "hard times",
are in good shape—"better than last
year". There appears to be much rejoicing and satisfaction throughout
the whole church over the good feeling, and cooperation of all. This
session was followed by the lecture
by Dr. Auner, on India. He has been
in that country eighteen years, This
proved very interesting, also the
many curios and. costumes displayed.

OBITUARY OF MRS.
AGNESJUHJFFMAN
Deceased Was Numbered
Among Glare's First Set-*
tiers-Coming Here in '78
Agnes Crawford, daughter of Jamet*
and Jane Crawford, was born in
Essex County, Ontario, Canada, November 24, 1857, and passed away at
her home in Milan, Mich., April 1st.
1931, aged seventy-three years, four
months, seven days.
The early years of her life were
spent in Ontario, Canada. At the age
of twenty-one she came with her parents to Michigan and settled near
Clave, near or in which city nearly
fifty years of her life was spent.
About five years ago, failing health
caused lier to move to Milan, Mich.,
to be with her only living child, a.
daughter, who is also a trained nurse.
December 31st, 1879 she was united
in marriage to Julius Huffman. Of
this union there came three children,
two passing away in early infancy.
Surviving to mourn her loss are husband, the daughter, Florence B., of
Milan; sister, Mrs. Mary Sifton, Detroit; brother, John Crawford, Rosebush; eight nephews, four nieces, and
a. host of friends*- \
She was a kind and loving'wife and
mother, and though an invalid the;
last few years of her life, she was always cheerful and uncomplaining!
realizing that for her was being done
all that loving hearts and faithful
hands could do, to make her sunset
of life happy and peaceful.
The event of her life time was the
celebration of their Golden wedding,
December 31, 1929, an event for
which she held tenaciously to life
and which was marked by the visits
of many relatives and friends, bearing gifts and good wishes, and the
receipt of messages of felicitation
from those far distant relatives.
Following a brief scripture reading
and prayer, at her late home in Milan,
by Rev. Chapin of the Peoples'
Church, she was taken back to her
old home in Clare. There on Saturday the burial services was conducted by Rev. Dawe of the Congregational church, who fittingly closed her
earthly residence with these words
following which she was laid to rest
besides her two children, in Cherry
Grove cemetery,
"If love has prompted us to give
■ Devoted service while they live,
They know that we will carry on
And still be true, although they're
gone.
They knoty- we'll do the last sad
tasks
Which love or friendship ever1
asks."
PAVING OF U.S. 10 TO
CLARE AUTHORIZED
BY STATE_B0ARD
Present Road Will be Used
For Detour As Location
Will be Changed
People of Clare and those residing
adjacent to U. S. 10 have watched the
steps of the state highway department very closely the past several
months in regard to the paving of the
8,5 miles between this city and Colo-
man. A .representative of the department visited the city Tuesday and
publically announced that the administrative board authorized the de-
pa rUnant to advertise for bids for the
grading and paving of this stretch on
that date.
We understand this road will run
parallel with the Pere Marquette railway from Coleman to Loomis but
about one hundred feet north of the
'present location as it is on the right-
of-way of the railroad company. At
Loomis it is rerouted to again follow
the railroad to the east city limits.
This will leave the present roadbed
for a detour.

10 potato rallies recently conducted
thru the territory served by the Ann
Arbor, At the rallies it was pointed

SUDAN GRASS FOR PASTURE
DURING DRAUGHT SEASON
This year farmers generally are
paying more attention to providing
pasture for the dry period than ever
before. The short rainfall up to the
present time is causing considerable
worry about the possible shortage of
pasture during July and August.
The Crops Department at Michigan
State College are advising farmers
to plan for an acreage of sudan grass)
pasture. This crop is well adapted
to dry conditions in the southwest
and makes excellent pasture in 40 to
50 days from planting. It should be
sowed June 1st at the rate of 20 lbs.
per acre to be ready for pasture the
middle of July.
Many farmers have learned from
bitter experience this past year that
pasture is5 the cheapest source of
feed for livestock. A crop like sudan
grass can be raised at small expense
and provide abundant pasture thru
the dry period. By doing this dairymen can maintain the milk flow of
their cows and keep their lambs or
other stock up to the peak of growth
and development.
Reregistration of Michigan's, automobile drivers began.this week when
the enforcing officers sueft as' chiefs
of police, sheriffs and others will be
furnished with the necessary'application blanks to be used by the driving
public for qualifying.
It is expected the first group will
have completed qualifying under the
statute within 18 months. Then their
licenses will be in effect for the following three years. This pi-ovid,es
only for drivers, as chauffeurs must
obtain licenses every year. »
The re-registration, which will take
place under the Brady bill that was
signed Friday by Gov. Wiiber M.
Brucker, has been divided according
to the time the original license was ■
issued.
Those issued prior to January 1,
1925, must be renewed within six
months, and they will expire three
years from May 1, 1931,. the effective
date of the act. Licenses that were
issued between Janrary 1, 1925 and
January 1, 1928, will expire within
the next year and must be renewed
in that time. Those licenses issued
subsequent to January 1, 1928, will
expire in IS months, ana must then
be renewed.
Motor vehicle drivers now having
licenses will be required to submit to
an examination, unless their applications which will be checked by the.
department of public safety indicates
a physical or mental condition that
would prevent their proper handling
of an automobile. All new drivers
however will be required to submit
to an examination.
Licenses could be revoked or susj
pended for violation of city ordinances or state laws. The bill provides mandatory revocation when "the
holder is convicted by manslaughter
growing out of a traffic accident,
perjury incident to motor vehicle regulations, conviction of a felony in the
commission of which a motor
vehicle is used, conviction or forfeiture of bail on three charges of reckless driving within 12 months, conviction on the charge of leaving the
scene of an accident resulting in the
death or injury of anyone.
The commissioner of public safety
is given authority to revoke or suspend a license if the commissioner
believes the holder, incompetent or is
habitually reckless. }
Provision for Review
Provision is made for a review of
any decision of the commissioner. A
license appeal board, consisting of
the commissioner, attorney general
and secretary of the state is given
authority to hear complaints.
The courts are requested to make
reports to the secretary of state ot
any violation coming to their attention in which the license may be revoked or suspended. r
No drivers' license may be issued
to .persons under 14 years of age, nor
for chauffeurs under 18 years of age.
Drivers licenses will cost $1 and
chauffeurs licenses $2. It is expected
the operation of the bill will bring the
£tate approximately $400,000 annual-
ly, and after paying the expense of
administration the balance will be
used to finance a road patrol to be
established within the department of
public safety.

The District Superintendent presided, and was greatly pleased with the reports, and the general conditions in the church, which he said were among the best in the District. There has been the largest attendance and the best interest in both the Sunday School, and the Epworth League that there has been for several years. The same is true with the two women's societies. The outstanding feature has been not only numbers and interest, but the best working spirit of unioir and cooperation, in a long time. Even the 'finances, in spite of the "hard times", are in good shape—"better than last year". There appears to be much rejoicing and satisfaction throughout the whole church over the good feeling, and cooperation of all. This session was followed by the lecture by Dr. Auner, on India. He has been in that country eighteen years, This proved very interesting, also the many curios and. costumes displayed. POPULAR YOUNG PEOPLE MARRIED SATURDAY EVE BY REV.

AGNESJUHJFFMAN Deceased Was Numbered Among Glare's First Set-* tiers-Coming Here in '78 Agnes Crawford, daughter of Jamet* and Jane Crawford, was born in Essex County, Ontario, Canada, November 24, 1857, and passed away at her home in Milan, Mich., April 1st. 1931, aged seventy-three years, four months, seven days. The early years of her life were spent in Ontario, Canada. At the age of twenty-one she came with her parents to Michigan and settled near Clave, near or in which city nearly fifty years of her life was spent. About five years ago, failing health caused lier to move to Milan, Mich., to be with her only living child, a. daughter, who is also a trained nurse. December 31st, 1879 she was united in marriage to Julius Huffman. Of this union there came three children, two passing away in early infancy. Surviving to mourn her loss are husband, the daughter, Florence B., of Milan; sister, Mrs. Mary Sifton, Detroit; brother, John Crawford, Rosebush; eight nephews, four nieces, and a. host of friends*- \ She was a kind and loving'wife and mother, and though an invalid the; last few years of her life, she was always cheerful and uncomplaining! realizing that for her was being done all that loving hearts and faithful hands could do, to make her sunset of life happy and peaceful. The event of her life time was the celebration of their Golden wedding, December 31, 1929, an event for which she held tenaciously to life and which was marked by the visits of many relatives and friends, bearing gifts and good wishes, and the receipt of messages of felicitation from those far distant relatives. Following a brief scripture reading and prayer, at her late home in Milan, by Rev. Chapin of the Peoples' Church, she was taken back to her old home in Clare. There on Saturday the burial services was conducted by Rev. Dawe of the Congregational church, who fittingly closed her earthly residence with these words following which she was laid to rest besides her two children, in Cherry Grove cemetery, "If love has prompted us to give ■ Devoted service while they live, They know that we will carry on And still be true, although they're gone. They knoty- we'll do the last sad tasks Which love or friendship ever1 asks." PAVING OF U.S. 10 TO CLARE AUTHORIZED BY STATE_B0ARD Present Road Will be Used For Detour As Location Will be Changed People of Clare and those residing adjacent to U. S. 10 have watched the steps of the state highway department very closely the past several months in regard to the paving of the 8,5 miles between this city and Colo- man. A .representative of the department visited the city Tuesday and publically announced that the administrative board authorized the de- pa rUnant to advertise for bids for the grading and paving of this stretch on that date. We understand this road will run parallel with the Pere Marquette railway from Coleman to Loomis but about one hundred feet north of the 'present location as it is on the right- of-way of the railroad company. At Loomis it is rerouted to again follow the railroad to the east city limits. This will leave the present roadbed for a detour.

SUDAN GRASS FOR PASTURE DURING DRAUGHT SEASON This year farmers generally are paying more attention to providing pasture for the dry period than ever before. The short rainfall up to the present time is causing considerable worry about the possible shortage of pasture during July and August. The Crops Department at Michigan State College are advising farmers to plan for an acreage of sudan grass) pasture. This crop is well adapted to dry conditions in the southwest and makes excellent pasture in 40 to 50 days from planting. It should be sowed June 1st at the rate of 20 lbs. per acre to be ready for pasture the middle of July. Many farmers have learned from bitter experience this past year that pasture is5 the cheapest source of feed for livestock. A crop like sudan grass can be raised at small expense and provide abundant pasture thru the dry period. By doing this dairymen can maintain the milk flow of their cows and keep their lambs or other stock up to the peak of growth and development. Reregistration of Michigan's, automobile drivers began.this week when the enforcing officers sueft as' chiefs of police, sheriffs and others will be furnished with the necessary'application blanks to be used by the driving public for qualifying. It is expected the first group will have completed qualifying under the statute within 18 months. Then their licenses will be in effect for the following three years. This pi-ovid,es only for drivers, as chauffeurs must obtain licenses every year. » The re-registration, which will take place under the Brady bill that was signed Friday by Gov. Wiiber M. Brucker, has been divided according to the time the original license was ■ issued. Those issued prior to January 1, 1925, must be renewed within six months, and they will expire three years from May 1, 1931,. the effective date of the act. Licenses that were issued between Janrary 1, 1925 and January 1, 1928, will expire within the next year and must be renewed in that time. Those licenses issued subsequent to January 1, 1928, will expire in IS months, ana must then be renewed. Motor vehicle drivers now having licenses will be required to submit to an examination, unless their applications which will be checked by the. department of public safety indicates a physical or mental condition that would prevent their proper handling of an automobile. All new drivers however will be required to submit to an examination. Licenses could be revoked or susj pended for violation of city ordinances or state laws. The bill provides mandatory revocation when "the holder is convicted by manslaughter growing out of a traffic accident, perjury incident to motor vehicle regulations, conviction of a felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is used, conviction or forfeiture of bail on three charges of reckless driving within 12 months, conviction on the charge of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in the death or injury of anyone. The commissioner of public safety is given authority to revoke or suspend a license if the commissioner believes the holder, incompetent or is habitually reckless. } Provision for Review Provision is made for a review of any decision of the commissioner. A license appeal board, consisting of the commissioner, attorney general and secretary of the state is given authority to hear complaints. The courts are requested to make reports to the secretary of state ot any violation coming to their attention in which the license may be revoked or suspended. r No drivers' license may be issued to .persons under 14 years of age, nor for chauffeurs under 18 years of age. Drivers licenses will cost $1 and chauffeurs licenses $2. It is expected the operation of the bill will bring the £tate approximately $400,000 annual- ly, and after paying the expense of administration the balance will be used to finance a road patrol to be established within the department of public safety.
