About seventy-five people attended,

Five sessions of bridge were played. Mae Fleming received lady's
first prize and her husband, Arthur

Any conceit which the Clare Study m'ize-
I,
Club may;,teel over the quality of its
Victor Herbert Musicale given in the
Doherty Hotel on Tuesday evening,
is easily pardoned, and any pride
which Clare may teel at having so
many capable singers and musicians
in its .midst is certainly - justifiable.
It is a rare thing for a town of .Clare's
population to possess the amount of
talent displayed in that concert. The
Club is also to be congratulated upon
its leadership and musical standards.
Mrs. Nina McGuire, president, of
the Club, stated the present attitude
of the group, in saying that, "Whilst
the economic conditions about us are
compelling so many retrenchments
and economies, these ueed not be in
the field of Art and culture; that in
the region,of the mind we are still
.free to possess and cultivate the best
things. These interests the Club will
continue to sponsor". For such a
statement of purpose all who are
beneficiaries of the organization will
be grateful.
Mrs. Ethel Schlegel introduced
Victor Herbert to the audience in a
very carefully prepared statement of
biography. One had the feeling that
she knew the composer personally—- j

to believe that a large number of our
citizens have a wrong conception of
these loans.
First, 1 want to say that these

people seem to believe. Many
people have written to me, and I
have read articles in newspapers
contributed by taxpayers, who seem
to think that some day they will have
their, property reassessed to repay
these loans. This is far from the
facts.

The Clare high school basketball
team ended a disasterous season last
Tuesday night by taking a defeat at
the hands of the Gladwin school
team. The score was 3"u to 20 but
that does not tell of the fine comeback staged by the Clare team in the
last half. The first half had been all

' Tile Ladies Auxiliary WaH delightfully entertained in the home of Mrs.
Omar Hall last Thursday afternoon.
As we entered trie large living room
we were reminded by its decorations
that this month was Patriotic, so we
prepared to listen to evulogies of our
loved patriots. *
However, before our program started, Mrs. A. B. Mulder, in a very
touching manner, gave a chapel
memorial for our late departed but
long loved member, Mrs. Alice Doherty. It seeme'd very fitting that a
eulogy of our beloved friend should
be given on a day we had met to live
again the memory of those first,
pioneers of our country. And as we
mingled our tears over her passing
we listened to our pastor, the Rev. J.
E.Lockyer recite in a very pleasing
maimer, Ida Tarbelle "I Knew
fiincoln." It seemed as we listened,
we could imagine ourselves back in
the old country store with Billy
Brown as he doted on every word
"Abe" said and feel somewhat as he
felt over the splendid friendship that
grew between them. Billy mourned
Lincoln's untimely death as few are
mourned.
At the close, of the readings Miss
Jean Glerum sweetly sang "I would
Be True". Miss Doris Gerow then
favored us with the hymn "If I Have
Wounded any Soul Today", accompanied by Miss Glerum. Doris can
sing into our hearts.

A number of business and professional men gathered together at
Barnes Cafe last Tuesday evening to
partake of an elk dinner.
By the whisperings one could not
learn very definitely as to how the
animal met with the misfortune to
be slain.
Prosecuting attorney Theo. Bowler
procured a little evidence as to  how
its  demise  occurred,  but  we have a
hunch it will  never be used against
the perpetrater.
Those who partook of the meat
were of one mind that it was the best
elk they had ever tasted.
The whole dinner was well prepared and equally well served by Mrs.
Barnes and her assistants, and Geo.
White was master of ceremonies
which followed,

will also prove Jess' fish story to be
