Care for Needy
The annual Red Cross roll, call will
commence with Armistice Day and
close with Thanksgiving Day.
Clare County Red Cross Chapter
has- been very active during the past
year and its work has resulted in
Bringing great relief to hundreds ot"
families thruout our county.
Upwards of live hundred dollars
have been spent in providing shoes
and clothing especially to the children so that they could attend school.
Over forty-eight hundred sacks of
flour have been distributed to the
very needy during the past year, and
the good work is still going on.
We are expecting another shipment of flour in the near future along
with the promise of a shipment of
three thousand yards of cloth which
will be made"1 up into garments by the
various ladies organizations of the
county, along with about one hundred
dozen garments whereby the needy
can surely be cared for.
Nationally, fifteen million people
residing in every state of the union
have received flour thru the Red
Cross and tens of thousands of distressed families have received clothing, food and other supplies.
"While the government is providing
the flour ancl cloth and clothing it is j .        ^
SsS."s _-_ ^SorrssiOFFICERS'MONDAY
to care for the manufacture, and distribution of the same.
It is expected that Clare County
alone will have received by the end
of this year goods to the amount of
lour thousand dollars.
Therefore in face of all these facts
It is very clear that all those who
possibly can will assist this gigantic
work that is being done in this our
own ' county . and throughout the
whole of our land.
Memberships are one dollar 01*
more but only fifty cents of each
membership!' goes to national work,
the rest is retained for our own local
purposes.
The local committee is Mrs. Pratt;
Mrs. N. McGuire; Mrs, Norris Elden;
and "Mrs. A. E. Mulder, chairman.

Next Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m.
Mr. O. L. Gregg of Michigan State
College will give the < second lecture
on beautifying the ho"me at the Clare
high school auditorium. Mr. Gregg
will show lantern slides of one hundred homes in Michigan which have
been landscaped by the owner, using
plans prepared by Mr. Gregg. The
High School grounds at Clare were
beautified in this way. Mr. Tichenor
supervised the work which was done
by the boys in his agriculture' classes.
The plan of landscaping was prepared by Mr. Gregg. Several other
homes in tne county have been
beautified by the owners using plans
prepared by Mr. Gregg.
One is often amazed at the transformation that can .be made in 'the
appearance of the home by using
some of our native shrubs and a few
trees planted as' the landscape artist
isees them. Mr. Gregg emphasizes
this use of local shrubbery in making
his plans.

Most Drastic Turnover Yet
Witnessed in  Political
History
Schaaf-Jackson Contest for County Treasurer Won by Former by Narrow Margin
Thursday morning all indications
point to* a sweeping victory for the
Democratic party in both National
and State returns of Tuesday's election.
According to late reports Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate''
for President, had swept all 'but six
states with large majorities. With
him the electors of the nation sent
sufficient senators ancl congressmen
to provide a large majority in both
houses to support the administration.
In the state Wm. A. Comstock,
pemocratics candidate for Governor,
and all state officers have apparently swept the state in the landslide of
the nation.
Congressman Roy O. Woodruff, republican, seems to have been a favorite son as according to late reports,
he escaped the onslaught and has a
leading plurality of about  6000.
Ben Carpenter, not having any opposition, will continue to represent
the 2Sth District as State Senator.
Miles M. Callaghan also escape.!
the avalanche having won a'majority
over his opponent in both counties of
the Clare-Osceola District as State
Representative.
