. Another of the excellent meetings
of the Clare Chamber of Commerce
■was held at the Doherty Hotel, last
Monday evening, with Mr. C. V. Fenner, of Detroit, as speaker.
■ About fifty members and friends
sat down to a sumptuous banquet
which did credit to the Hotel
management and staff.
"• Immediately after the banquet,
President Geo. White called upon
Mr. Ed, Zemmer of Bay City, and a
former member of the club who led
the men in several songs in the absence of the song leader, Norris El-
den.
The President introduced several
of-the newly-elected city and county
officers, including our esteemed
Mayor J. H. Wilson, who responded
vwith his usual beaming smiles. These
men received a fine round of applauses.
•'■Several visitors from outside towns
were also introduced and received
the greeting of the members.
The minutes of the last meeting
jvere read by. the secretary Mr. Geo.
Sherwood, and approved.
The committee for the next meeting" were named as follows: Stuart
Bicknell, Stanley Masten and Phil.

Fred Morgan, the chairman of the
program committee, then took
charge. John Garns accdmpahied by.
John Davy gave a eO'u'ple of selections on a hand saw-, Mrs. Willard

Rice. Jimmie Gillespie, the little
Englishman of the Clute garage, gave
three numbers on the concertina; his
"Blue Bells of Scotland" wa§ exceedingly well given and well received;
'Jimmie surely made the bells to ring.
All these' numbers were in keeping
with the high class talent with which
the C. of'C. has .been favored in the
past. .»• . .
Mr. C -V. Fenner of Detroit, President of- the Home Defense League of
Michigan. also a candidate for Congress in' the 16th District, was then
called upon who gave an address
which was- full of understanding.
At the outset Mr. Fenner made it
plain that though he was a candidate
on the democratic ticket, the name
of a party didn't mean much these
days anyway. He believed that two
of the . greatest Jeffersonian Presidents pur country has ever had
were Abraham Lincoln and Theodore
Roosevelt.,,,
At the. forthcoming national conventions- the speaker said, both the
Democrats and. the Republicans will
present,, platforms merely to catch
votes. hI don't go much on party,
said Mr,.. Fenner, but, of course, we
have to,, belong to one or the other 11
we are in politics.
The former.part Qf his address was
given .19iyeri to'the question of taxation. IHus.trating h1s'subject from the

Seventy-five. neighbors and relatives
gathered at the farm home -of Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Lansing* ,±b remind
them that they had traveled life1s
pathway together for * twenty-five
years. Both were taken by surprise
as the crowd began to fil in during
the early evening hours.
A social time was spent many re-
fering back to the days when "Wm.
and Nettie" "began housekeeping' and
in this span of years many joys and
sorrows have crossed their threshold but both were willing .to renew
their, vqws for another *qttazter century. The wedding cenemony read
by the bride's brother, L. H. Thompson was somewhat different than the
previous service, but was pronounced binding by the witnesses.
Thirty-nine relatives, including her
sister, Mrs. Wm. Hampton, husband
and daughter, of Mt. Pleasant, brothers, Robert and L. H. Thompson and
wife, of Clare, Mr. and Mrs. Peter

a large wedding cake furnished by
the groom's uncle, J. D. Lansing and

The following tribute was written
by J. D. Lansing and read by Miss

Clare county is having another enterprise worked out in its boundaries,
whereby its water power will again
be put into service, and we as its
citizens can feel proud of this new
development which will give us another interesting and attractive point,
The new venture is being promoted
by Mr. A. T. Ferrell, of Saginaw, and
will be located three-quarter mile
east of the W. C. Cornwell ranch dam
and power plant on the Tobacco river, Mr. Ferrell and Mr. Cornwell
have been close friends for many i
years and both have taken a great
deal of interest in Clare county. Mr. j
Ferrell might be called a philanthropist as well as a multi-millionaire and
has been very generous in his home
city with his generous gifts to charity, amounting to thousands of dollars per year, not taking the many
other contributions into consideration. Considering his splendid standing, Clare county must be congratulated that he has been attracted to
its boundaries.
Mr. Ferrell is working -out a
thought which he has had 'in his
mind for several years for transforming into electrical power a generator pjant all of which originated^,
fi'pni _hlg own"" ideas "and" 'mechanical
ingenuity. His idea is to have a large
wheel of about i.5 feet in diameter
that is equal to generating several
hundred horse power, however,
which depends upon the head of the
water back of it. He is not expecting
to develop the capacity of the wheel
at this point in the venture. The
whole idea is more of an experimental undertaking.
From the blue print and picture
that he shown, he will have a beautiful sight for anyone to look at when
his club house and adjoining buildings are completed. His buildings
will be patterned largely upon the-i
old colonial architecture, and some

Several cases of losses of lambs
and paralysis in ewes have been reported to County Agricultural Agent
P. D. Gibson. One flock reporting a
loss of 11 ewes and 45 lambs. Investigation shows the trouble to due to
the ewes feedin;; on frozen stuble
and grass in the fields and receiving
poor quality in the reed rack in the
bai-n. This combination tends toward constipation in the ewes at a
time when they should have feed
that is of a laxative nature. The lamb
foetus for a period of twb weeks before birth secretes a toxic poison
which the ewe must eliminate or absorb into her system. If this -poison
is not eliminated it poisons the system of the ewe causing paralysis or
blindnesg and other ailments.
The ewes that is forced to eat low
quality feed during this period before lambing time has no opportunity
to build up her body and provide for
a good supply of milk for her expected offspring. Sheep owners who find
themselves forced to feed poor roughage just before lambing time should
provide some grain to the ewes in
order that they may have a fair
chance to produce good strong lambs
and have a sufficient supply of milk
to start them off in life. Oats or
oats and bran make a very satisfactory grain, being of laxative nature
and medium rich-in protein.

Clare Wednesday afternoon for the

and who is credited with 120 hours
of solo flying. She flew her plane
over the' well and dropped a bottle
which had been filled with pure,
cl^ear spring water taken from ; the
Tobacco river that is net far distant"
from the well.
Following the drilling in of the
well and the subsequent christening,
a banquet was served to sixty guests
in the ranch house of the Welch and
Freeman farm, the property adjoining the gas field.
Mayor John C. Shields of Highland Park, who is also general
counsel for the Pere Marquette raW-
road -company, was the toastmaster,
and the principal speaker was Mr. W.
J. Soverign, owner of the well. Mr.
Soverign declared that the bug,-a-boo
about the Michigan natural gas fields
not lasting' is propaganda conceived
with the deliberate intention of misleading the public. He said: "The
natural gas pools of Clare, Vernon
and Bloomfield are in a similar gas
sand formation to the gas wells of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, some of which have been used
for over forty years and are still producing gas." ' ,
jMr. Soverign said that Michigan
has enormous undeveloped natural
gas fields and this fact has been
further proven by the test made in
this field where the Pere Marquette
Number One has just come in with
the ten million cubic foot capacity.
He said that if this gas could be
turned into the service pipes of
Michigan cities, the cost of gas to
domestic users would be reduced
from1 one-half to one-third of the
present cost of artificial gas.
"There are over 70,000 miles of
natural gas pipelines ■■ delivering
natural gas to most of the states of
the Union. Ohio is covered with a
network of pipelines delivering* this'
fuel to the users. Indiana and "(Hinois
have their sources of supply of
natural gas. Why have the wolves
of Wall Street placed an embargo
against the using of natural gas in -
Michigan."

White called upon Mr. Ed, Zemmer of Bay City, and a former member of the club who led the men in several songs in the absence of the song leader, Norris El- den. The President introduced several of-the newly-elected city and county officers, including our esteemed Mayor J. H. Wilson, who responded vwith his usual beaming smiles. These men received a fine round of applauses. •'■Several visitors from outside towns were also introduced and received the greeting of the members.

Fenner of Detroit, President of- the Home Defense League of Michigan. also a candidate for Congress in' the 16th District, was then called upon who gave an address which was- full of understanding. At the outset Mr. Fenner made it plain that though he was a candidate on the democratic ticket, the name of a party didn't mean much these days anyway. He believed that two of the . greatest Jeffersonian Presidents pur country has ever had were Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.,,, At the. forthcoming national conventions- the speaker said, both the Democrats and. the Republicans will present,, platforms merely to catch votes. hI don't go much on party, said Mr,..

Clare people are fortunate to have such talented home friends who can take the place of out side talent. After a short business meeting the President Mrs. McGuire called upon Mr. Doan to address the members who were accompanied by their husbands as invited guests to the Mulder home, Mr. Doan announced that his talk would be an informal one upon what he had learned about the fur bearing animal, the beaver, from capturing and caring for them for a number of years. It appears that the beaver had a prominent part in the exploring and settlement of Michigan, as the early settlers came here in search of the Beaver, as a valuable fur bearing animal.

TO BUILD DAM ON TOBACCO RIVER Plans Club House of Old Colonial Design in Ar- . thur Township. Clare county is having another enterprise worked out in its boundaries, whereby its water power will again be put into service, and we as its citizens can feel proud of this new development which will give us another interesting and attractive point, The new venture is being promoted by Mr. A. T. Ferrell, of Saginaw, and will be located three-quarter mile east of the W. C. Cornwell ranch dam and power plant on the Tobacco river, Mr. Ferrell and Mr. Cornwell have been close friends for many i years and both have taken a great deal of interest in Clare county. Mr. j Ferrell might be called a philanthropist as well as a multi-millionaire and has been very generous in his home city with his generous gifts to charity, amounting to thousands of dollars per year, not taking the many other contributions into consideration. Considering his splendid standing, Clare county must be congratulated that he has been attracted to its boundaries. Mr. Ferrell is working -out a thought which he has had 'in his mind for several years for transforming into electrical power a generator pjant all of which originated^, fi'pni _hlg own"" ideas "and" 'mechanical ingenuity. His idea is to have a large wheel of about i.5 feet in diameter that is equal to generating several hundred horse power, however, which depends upon the head of the water back of it. He is not expecting to develop the capacity of the wheel at this point in the venture. The whole idea is more of an experimental undertaking. From the blue print and picture that he shown, he will have a beautiful sight for anyone to look at when his club house and adjoining buildings are completed.

Bread JEjemon Creani Pie • ' Coffee Creatn Several cases of losses of lambs and paralysis in ewes have been reported to County Agricultural Agent P. D. Gibson. One flock reporting a loss of 11 ewes and 45 lambs. Investigation shows the trouble to due to the ewes feedin;; on frozen stuble and grass in the fields and receiving poor quality in the reed rack in the bai-n. This combination tends toward constipation in the ewes at a time when they should have feed that is of a laxative nature. The lamb foetus for a period of twb weeks before birth secretes a toxic poison which the ewe must eliminate or absorb into her system. If this -poison is not eliminated it poisons the system of the ewe causing paralysis or blindnesg and other ailments. The ewes that is forced to eat low quality feed during this period before lambing time has no opportunity to build up her body and provide for a good supply of milk for her expected offspring. Sheep owners who find themselves forced to feed poor roughage just before lambing time should provide some grain to the ewes in order that they may have a fair chance to produce good strong lambs and have a sufficient supply of milk to start them off in life. Oats or oats and bran make a very satisfactory grain, being of laxative nature and medium rich-in protein. vention was held at the city hall in Clare Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of5 electing delegates to the state and district conventions.
