BONFIRE AT ITHACA
Mr. and Mrs. J, H. Wilson and Mr.
jand Mrs. Eli Gerqux motored to
Ithaca Sunday and spent the .day at
the home of Mr, and Mrs, Percy ^Vil-

on Wednesday before when lie fell
into a'bonfire. The little lad is only
three years old and was alone when
the accident happened and had it not
been for a lady who witnessed his
plight and rescued him, the results
undoubtedly would have proved
fatal, His outergarment was* burned from his back and he was burned
about the face,' back and arms. To

unfalteringly, with no reference to
notes, so ably charged the new officials with the duties of their respective officers and you will have a
slight conception of the grandeur
evidenced by scores at the installation of Zenobia Chapter Monday

game was on with Brown and.Brand

Showing
Clare High School lost it's first
baseball game of the season last Friday afternoon to Midland High
school of 10-1 in a seven inning game.
Gilson who pitched for Midland allowed the Clare boys but four hits
and one rutt, Rlyatone who did the
hurling for Clare during the first
5 1-3 innings, held the Midland team
scoreless until the 4th inning. At that
time the fingers on his right hand
beciama liuuib and he was" unable to
ebhtrol the ball.
Midland scored all its runs in the
fourth and fifth innings, getting two
runs in the fourth and eight in the
•filth. With one out in the fifth Blystone wa3 shifted to third base and
Chas. Moore took up the pitching
duties. Charlie set the Midland bos
down in fine style during the rest of
the game allowing only one man tp
reach first and striking out two of
the six men who faced him.
Clare's only run came in the first
inning. With two out, Allen, the
catcher, singled and then stole second. Upthegrove, the first baseman
then came up brandishing his war
club and after selecting a ball to his;
liking smacked out a double down
the first base line, scoring Allen. The\
Clare boys garnered but two more
hits during the game, one by Shaw
and one by Blystone.
As a whole the Clare team showed
up quite well and we look forward to
a successful season if it hadn't been
for "Norm" Blystone's numb finger;
well—we might have told a different
story.
Harrison Practice Game
.Tuesday, April 26th, the Harrison
High school baseball team came to
Clare for a practice game. Though
the weather was very cold, a rather,
exciting game was played (for five
innings). Many errors were made by
both teams, due to the cold. Harrison
scored two runs in the first, but were
held during the remaining 4 innings
by Chas. Moore. The Clare team
scored seven runs during their
periods at bafc- Allen Henderson,
who pitched for Harrison hurled a
good game, striking out many of the
Clare boys who faced him, but he
lacked support from his teammates.
With better backing he might of had
much better success.
Clare's next game with Evart.
Tuesday, May 3, at Evart. Friday,
May 6, Midland comes here. We're
out for blood so let's have a good
crowd and lots of support from the
townspeople!

night, Solisky had intended    to    return   home   by   crossing   the   lake

The first paper, Great Lakes Tide
Water Project was given by Mrs.

in the St. Lawrence river in 1930.
This new project will open a
water way for ocean vessels from
Chicago thru Lake Michigan, Lake
Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and
thru the locks to the St. Lawrence,

it is expected to pass. Canada and

HOLBROOK SPEAKS
BEFORE LARGE GATHERING ATM CITY
Over One.Thousand Members of Three  Organizations Met at Bay City
Monday.Evening
T. Carl Holbrook, Clare County
Prosecutor, and candidate for Congress from the Tenth District, was
one of the speakers, at the mass)
meeting of the American Legion, Allied Veterans and Veterans of Fpre-
ign W(ars held in the Temple
Theatre at Bay City, Monday eyeing.
It was a great demonstration of the
strength of these various organizations of ex-service men, and problems of the present day legislation
were freely discussed by the speakers.    . v
The next meeting of the Tenth
District organization is being held
today (Friday) at Big Rapids, and
Mr. Holbrook is to be the speaker- at
this gathering. Members of the
Walter H. Larman post of Clare will
accompany him to the meeting.
Mr. Holbrook has been in great demand as a speaker at Legion and ex-
service men gatherings during the
past few weeks. He is active in
local Legion work, having served
(several "terms as Commander. Following we print his address as given
at the Bay City meeting:
At the beginning of the present
session of the Congress of the U. S.,
Wright Patman, representative ff&m
the State of Texas- introduced into
the House of Representatives, a bill
calling for the immediate payment
to the Veterans of the World War,
the face or maturity value of their
adjusted service certificates.
"Approximately 3,600,000 veterans
of the World War hold adjusted service certificates that are called bonus
certificates but they do not represent
bonus subsidy or gratuity; they
represent an honest debt pu.blicly
confessed by the Congress of 'the U,
S. for services rendered,
"The question of the cash payment
of the adjusted "service certificates
should be considered separate and,
apart from any other legislation for
benefit of the World War Veterans.   .
"Those opposing immediate -pay^
ment of these certificates, attempting to distract attention from the
real cause by setting forth the finan^,
cial condition of the country are in
the minority. The veterans problem
is the problem of the plain people.
Most of the veterans belong to the
great middle class. The plain people
will be greatly benefitted by payment of the adjusted service certificates and benefit to them is a
benefit to the nation. The additional
purchasing power ^such payment will
afford is badly needed in our country
at this time.
"Certificates range from §126.00 to
$1590 each. Approximately $1,300,-
000,000 has been borrowed by the
Veterans. They have borrowed their
own money and agreed to pay 4 1-2
per cent interest compounded annually for it. The interest Will practically consume the certificate. With
the borrowing veteran. ?2,200,000j000
will pay the balance due on these
certificates.
"Only the uninformed or the veterans enemy contend that the Government cannot conveniently make
this payment now. For the veteran
to be required to pay interest for his
