Mrs.'-Amta Tichenor Hostess to Glare Members on
Tuesday Afternoon
A very pleasant afternoon was
spent by the Clare Study Club at the
home of Mrs. Anita Tichenor Tuesday The meeting was called to
order by the Vice President, Mrs,
Mary Green. The minutes of the last
meeting were read by the Secretary,
Anna Greer. The meeting was then
turned over to the Program Commit-
• tee of which Mrs. Ethel Schlegel is.
Chairman.- She called upon Mrs.
Susan Hall who gave a very interesting paper on the life of Grace
Abbott chief of the TJ. S. Children's
Bureau. Miss Abbott was born in a
small town in Nebraska called Grand
Island, in 1867. She graduated from
a college there before . going to the
University of Nebraska for special
study in Economics and Political
Science, after leaving there she went
to the University ot Chicago for still
more Study in economics, receiving
her Masters Degree in Political
Science and studied at the Chicago
Law school. She became director of
the Immigrants Protective League of
Chicago in 1909 and went to live at
Hull Houso where she came into close
contact with problems oi the residents of the poorer districts of a
great city. She was interested in.!
the children of immigrants because of
the difficulties the mothers had 'in understanding the rapid adjustment of
their children to a social environment
of which they were entirely ignorant,
but there were things that came up
that caused Miss Abbott to say, "To-
dayy the. J$ly permanent and final
way to elevateVthe conditions of the
child is to elevate the family. What
ever the family has is passed on to
the child." Miss Abbott's first
national services for children was as
Director Of the Child Labor Division
of the United States Children's
Bureau to which post she was ap-
-pointed in 1917. In this position she
was responsible -for--the administration of the first Federal Child juabor
Law which forbade the interstate
transportation of the product of child
labor which was in violation of the
Federal Standards. Miss Abbott was
sent to Geneva by the Department of
State in 1930 to represent the U. S.
at the meeting of the League of
Nations committee on Extension of
the inquiry on Traffic in women and
children in the East. Miss Abbott is
a member of the executive committee
ot the American Child Health Association of which Mr. Hoover is hon-
ary "President. She is advisor on
Child Health to the American Public
Health Association and many other
organizations.
The next on the program was Mrs.
Nellie Sherwood who gave a very fine
paper on tlie life of Jane Adams who
was born in Cedarvile, 111., in the year
1360. Miss Adams was born a cripple. Her mother died a few months
after Jane was born leaving her and
a large family of children to be cared for by her father and a house
keeper. Jane grew up to have great
admiration for her lather, her veneration and pride for him manifest,
itself in curious ways. She had
"horrid nights" when she tossed
about   in   her   bed   because   she   had

in the field of state and national history is being gathered by the 25 students who have begun theses in the
department of history, according ._ to
Dr. E. E. Dale, head of the department of history in the University of
Oklahoma.
Aspects oB Spanish-American political constitutional and Oklahoma
history are being developed. Material

The Clare Sentinel,
Clare, Michigan.
Gents:—At this time ef the year
44 years ago, I left your country, and
have never been able to make another trip up there, but think of it often,
and wonder what changes have taken
place, and what the country is like
by this time. I went up there in July
'87, when the Ann Arbor railroad was
being built from Mt. Pleasant to Cadillac, and worked between Clare and
Farwell, helped take out the cut east
of the Tobacco River, and helped put
in the fill at the east end of the
bridge acioss the Tobacco. From
there we were sent up to Lake
George, and was there about until
'February '88 when I left there and
went down to the southern part of
the state, where I stopped for seven
years, then I came back to Pennsylvania where I was bred and born.
Have lived at this place for fifteen
years. Have some awful nice country
about here, and some of the most
historic ground in America is within
a few miles of our front door. We are
about 20 miles from City Line of
Philadelphia, 12 miles from Valley
Forge where Washington and his
army spoilt the winter of 1777 and
'78, and 30 miles from here, will take
you to Independence Hall in Philadelphia. We have one-tenth of the
population of the entire United States

panted out her sin invariably received the same assurance "That if he
had a little girl who told lies", he
was very glad she felt too, bad to go
to sleep afterwards." She would go
back to bed and sleep if not the sleep
of the just at least that of the comforted. When Miss Adams was
seventeen she entered Roekford College. A great reader, she kept herself well informed on current events,
it was natural she should associate
herself with the small group of young
women in the school who were concerning themselves with the movement of Women's rights which was
then beginning to make itself feltj
throughout the country. This group
was so interested that the girls ot
Roekford College Obtained the right
for one of them to speak against men
in an inter collegiate oratorical contest. Jane Adams was chosen to be
that speaker, she did not win, but
finished fifth. The winner was a
youth, who came to be extremely well
known to his country William Jennings Bryan. In 1881, when Miss
Adams was 21 she enrolled in a
Philadelphia College determined to
be a physician, but after she had
completed a years study she became
ill and was advised by her physician
to go to Europe for a needed two

Vast Improvement
Sheep Management Problems and
how to meet them, the State and
National lamb and flock improvement
program outlook for wool and lamb
prices are topics Mr. D. H. LaVoi
will discuss at two sheep meetings
next Monday. The first meeting is
at 2:00 p. m. at John Bauer's farm,
1-2 mile south of Dover; the other
will be in the Bessy School House,
Arthur township.
Mr. La Voi needs no introduction to
a great many flock owners of Clare
County. His untiring efforts toward
flock: improvement in Michigan have
won wide recognition. During the
past three years Mr. La Voi has waged a relentless campaign for better
sires, parasite control' and properly
trimmed market lambs. That his
efforts are bearing fruit is shown by
the rising demand for Northern
Michigan feeder lambs in Southern
Michigan feed lots where formerly
only western lambs were considered.
Reports from the Detroit and Buffalo
buyers indicate a healthy improvement in the quality of Michigan
lambs during tlie past three years.
This improvement campaign is to
continue as thore is still a large number of flock owners who are not yet
converted to the practices that make
market topping lambs. Those who
plan to dip will learn about the dipping material that stays in the wool
and kill the new broods of ticks and
lice, the low cost of controlling
stomach! and,- intestinal worms and
how to meet some common problems.

While Michigan forces fighting
hoarded dollars pressed their campaign Tuesday, announcement was,
made that the United States Treasury Department certificates will gq
on sale March 7 as a climax of thei
three weeks' drive'."'' . *     ■ *
Word has ' been received from
Washington that certificates will sell
in City banks for $50, $100 and ?500,
Henry T. Ewald, commander-in-chief
of the State anti-hoarding committee
announced. In turn the banks wifi
place in circulation the money
brought out of hiding to purchase the
certificates, 'he said.
Women Told of Plan
Meanwhile, various groups throughout the City were learning further
letails of President Hoover's war
against slacker dollars. Louis Co-
bane, member of the Detroit committee, outlined the plan in a talk before- the Women's Advertising Club
of Detroit at its luncheon Tuesday
noon.
"The money which must be
brought back into circulation is not
in the savings accounts, but rather
stored away in the toes of the old
socks or the family teapot," Mr. Co-
hane said. "Putting this money back
into circulation would restore prosperity".
"These Government certificates
will be .redeemable on 60 days*
notice. Banks issuing them will immediately loan out the funds to business firms through the Federal Reserve system channels."
State Pushes Drive
Reinforcements were added to the
anti-hoarding offensive Tuesday
when the Michigan Bankers Association enlisted for service. Henry Zimmerman, Of Pontiac, president of the
Association, notified Mr. Ewald of
their backing.
From various points in the Statq
word was received of a drive against
the slacker dollars. A gigantic demonstration to celebrate the plan's
inauguration was reported in Muskegon.

Michigan poultry yards now contain one of the few leisure classes
left in the world, since mechanical
contrivances have relieved SO per
cent of Michigan hens from the responsibility of raising their own families, according te the poultry department at  Michigan  State  College.
Successful artificial raising of
chicks is .dependent upon clean
range, maintenance of the proper-
temperatures in the brooder house,
and the proper amounts of suitable
il'eeds.
Clean range means ground upon
which no kind of poultry has run
during the preceding two years.
Brooder houses must be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected before thg
chicks are placed in them. The
brooder house should be movable and.
should be taken to the range after it
lias been cleaned.
The brooder stove should be set
upon an asbestos pad or in a sandbox to eliminate fire hazards. A
temperature of 90 degrees at a point
ona inch above- the floor at the outside edge ol the hover should- be
maintained. More chicks are injured
by overheating than by chilling.
"The brooder house, away from the
hover, should be about 70 degrees;
these temperatures can be gradually
reduced as  the chicks become older.
The starting mash recommended
by the Michigan State College poultry department is made up of 36 lbs.
coarse ground yellow corn meal, 2Cj
pounds flour middlings, 20 pounds
ground oat groats ground oatmeal, 10
lbs. dried milk, 5 lbs. meat scrap (50
per cent protein), 2 pounds steamed
bone meal, 1 lb. salt, ancl 1 lb. cod
liver oil. This mash can be fed until
the birds enter the laying house, but
It is improved as a growing mash by
substituting 20 lbs. of bran for the,
flour middlings. The dried milk can
be cut to 5 pounds and the corn increased to 41 lbs.

I Editor Clare Sentinel.
Mr. Malcolm Feighner,
Clare, Mich.
Friend  Malcolm:
| The Lacy-for-Governor petitions
j whidh were circulated in Clare and
• Isabella counties were forwarded to
Mr. Lacy at Detroit. Owing to serious illness in my family I was unable to gather up some pj the petitions that were out, but "enough were
sent him to show** tlie sentiment of
the district.
In acknowledging receipt of the
petitions Mr. Lacy desired me to
makd his personal appreciation
known to all the- signers, in order to
do this I am taking the liberty of-
quoting Mr Lacy's own language to
me in the letter which follows:
"I am deeply touched by these
petitions, I have read them ancl every
name which has been signed to them.
Many of the signers-1 of course do
not personally know, because it has
been nearly twenty-three years since
I left Clare. But I do see many
names of those whom I do remember
as friends whom I have cherished
through the years, and I can not find
words to express my deep appreciation for the compliment which they
have shown in this wonderful way.
"I wish I could write to each individual who was so good as to think
of me in this way, but there are so
many it would be impossible but I will
ask) you to make my personal appreciation know to them, and I will my
self shortly find a way to have them
know from me how deeply touched,
I am to have my friends of my former
home, who have followed me with
such a friendly interest, and solicitude pay me such a compliment.
. ".I am getting requests of a similar
character from various parts of the
state, and I do not know what Providence is going to require of me under these circumstances. For one
who actually has no personal ambitions, to respond in such a way as
to mean a change in1 his whole career
requires very serious consideration
from his own poijit of view.
"If I reach the conclusion that it is"
my duty, then of course I Avill burn
all my bridges behind me and do
what I can in the hope that I may in
a measure fulfill the injunction ot
Horace Mann that "every one in his
lifetime should endeavor to make
some one definite contribution to
mankind. That would be my only
purpose ancl hope."
Sincerely yours,
Arthur J. Lacy."
Very truly yours,
Ed. Axford.

The Central Michigan Funeral Directors Association' were guests o£
the Clare County Association on
Thursday evening, February 25th,
when their monthly meeting was held
preceded by a banquet.
Mr. Chas. Thurston, President of
the Central Michigan Association,
was master of ceremonies and
acquitted himself very graciously and
efficiently.
At about 6:30 p. m, the members
began to arrive. By about seven all
was in readiness for the banquet and
they journeyed over to the Masonic
dining room where a committee of
Eastern Star ladies had prepared and
arranged things most elaborately, to
the delight and appreciation of all.
The tables were decorated with potted plants and carnations, and each
person had a beautiful bouquet presented to them which added, much to
the attractiveness of the banquet
feast.
Baked ham with the usual accompaniments and apple pie, cheese and
cake for desert achieved the usual
result of happy smiles and contentment of heart which was unmistakably evident on every face.
The prayer of thanksgiving was
offered by Rev. Albert Dawe, and
"Rev. J. Lockyer also Rev. Father
Morrison gave a few brief remarks
in the short program-which was giv-
pn after the banquet. Miss Doris
•Gerow rendered two vocal selections
and Misses Wilma Hoch'stetler and
Virginia Koch sang two numbers,
with Miss Nelda^ Callihan, accompan-'
ing.
After the program at the table*
which had been immensely enjoyed
the men adjourned to the home of
Mr. Thurston where they had their
business meeting and enjoyed a general good, time..^iBJThe ladies ^ were
guests of the "Association to a theatre
party at the Ideal Theatre.
There were guests from Tawas,
Harrison, Midland, Alma, Ithaca,
Coleman, Blancharcl, Farwell, St
Louis, and from Saginaw, Mr. W. L.
Case, a life long friend of Mr.
Thurston. Rev. J. Lockyer and wife,
Rev. Father Morrison and Rev. Albert and "Mrs. Dawe were invited
guests and expressed their appreciation of the favor bestowed upon
them.
As the" guests departed for their
respective homes many words of appreciation were expressed to Charlie
for the fine way in which he had
handled everything, even to the
smallest detail. We hope the Association will choose to come to Clare
again in the near future.
