word "Champion" in a rosette at the
top. Mr. Tichenor, F. F. A. advisor,
gave this ribbon and a dollar side

Twelve boys placed in the money
so that many of them won a little for
their efforts. The products exhibited were considered very good for the

The Old White Schoolhouse
Dedicated to Mrs, C. W. Perry •-.-
How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood ,
When'fond recollections presents them to view    ■
The snow covered hillside, boys and girls sliding" down it
And every loved spot that my infancy knew.
The wide spreading pond,; the grist mill that stoQd, by It
The bridge and the green where playing games we loved to dwell.
The house of my father, the croquet ground nigh it ■ '   . -
And e'en the Old Schoolhouse that I loved so well.
■^The dear old school, the clear ringing bell
The dear, old White schoolhouse that I loved so well.
The dear old white schoolhouse I hailed as a treasure
For often at noon when returnid from my home
The teacher would give me a flue jolly sandwich <
The nicest I've.-found wherever. I roamed.
How ardent I ate.it; with an appetite that was growing    . '
Then quick to the old wooden water pail I would go.
And drink from the dipper, the little tin dipper
The bright sparkling water just pumped from the well.
How sweet to' remember the scenes, In the old schoolhouse"
Long rows; of seats, boys crudely carved with their jack knives.    -
Teacher so patient, she guarded so tenderly
The hundred and twenty-five scholars, sweet young lives.
And now far removed from the scenes of my childhood
The tear of regret will intrusively swell
As fancy reverts to the home of my father
And the dear old schoolhouse tfcey razed to the ground,'

HEAD TAX IS A
LAW SUBJECT TO
PENALTY-PROS.
Unpopularity of Law Leave
Hundreds at Sea. 75 Have
Petitioned for Pension
Opinions among officials differ as
to whether the public should pay the
S2.0Q head tax levied by the state to
finance the Old Age pension p Ian.
The dead line for payment has been
set for March first.
Through Press reports on Monday
Judson E, RieMEds,Qhi au assistant
attorney general," said in a Detroit
court that registration is not compulsory before October 1st, and thai
those who have net yet registerec"
are not subject to the fine and imprisonment stipulated in the Michigan law". . |
Prosecuting Attorney Theo, G,
Bowler states that It is a law and
those not paying same are subject to
a fine and imprisonment sentence.
Due to the unpopularity of this law
be has been waiting for something
official from Langing believing some
repeal will be made to care for the
financing of tho aged people.
Through the County Treasurer
Schaaf's office we learn that 3S92
have registered in the cbunty and
that approximately 75 have applied
for the old age pension.

Third of Series Sponsored

Limitations on Privilege of Overtak.
Ing and Passing
Last Week, we discussed overtak
Ing and passing another vehicle
However, under our state law, there
are limitations in this regard. They
are listed in section 15, of Act No.
318, P. A. 1927, and they read as follows:
"(a) The driver of a vehicle shall
not drive to the left side of the center line of a highway in overtaking
and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction unless such
left side Is clearly visible and is free
of oncoming traffic for a sufficient
distance ahead to permit such overtaking and passing to be made in
safety.
"(b) The driver of a vehicle shall
not overtake and pass anothei
vehicle proceeding in' the same' direc
tion upon a grade or upon a curve in
the highway unless the driver's view
along the highway is sufficient to insure safety.
"(a) The driver of a vehicle shall
not overtake and pass any other
vehicle proceeding in the same direction at any steam or electric railway grade crossing nor at any intersection of highways unless permitted
so to do by a traffic or police officer."
In reference to passing on curves)
or hills (section b), it may be interesting for you to know that on pavements, the center line of the highway
on curves or hills is always painted a
brilliant yellow rather than the conventional black and white. This yellow line means "Do not attempt to
pass—-You do not have a clear vision
of 500 feet ahead, -
The two Clare High basketball
teams brought defeat. Ito 'two. similar
teams from. St. Louis—the regulars
winning 26 to 21 an$ the second team
17 to 14. It is the first time this season that both teams Mve, won. games
the same night and oply the; second
Win out of twelve gan^es for .the regulars. The second t#m has faired
Slightly bette.r.winning, five games.
The regulars startajl out in great
fashion clearly outplaying their op-'
ponents. The score, at the half was
11 to 4, due to their fl|ie passing and
quick breaking. Gilli^ was. lost tc
the team before the first half closed
because of excessive fouling^ .Sutton,
was onto his! game playing fine bail
throughout; the remainder of' the;
game. • .; J      ^   .
Probably the> most |inspirin
of the game was Tupper's defease;
plan. Time and 4gatn Tupper "was* up
in the air, clearly and surely-stopping
or deflecting the ball when, a basket-
see'med sure of being made. Most ol
the time-he got the jump at center
which helped the Clare boys considerably. .x
Sanford 4 played a good game at
forward until he: was forced from the
game because of an Injury to Me
wrist. It is thought that a bone is
cracked and that it will keep-him out,
of the games even through tournament time.
Bowler and Ackerman played their
usual find games making points when"
points were needed and playing good
defensive ball. Watson took San-
ford's place*' for a time and then
Schroeder took Sutton's pla,ce at
guard when Sutton was placed ai
forward for Watson.
For a time, toward the close of the
game, it looked like St. Louis might
tie the score when a couple ot baskets brought them within three
points of Clare. But , a .spurt put-
Clare, -out. ahead to r lead the way
home to a second' victory.,The boys
clearly deserved to win, out. playing
their opponents practically all ' th<>
game.
The team plays its last regular
game of the season tonight at Sacred
Heart, Mt. Pleasant. Tournament
play starts at Mt. Pleasant on Thursday, March 1st, running throught Frh
day and Saturday. Drawings will
probably be made too late for
week's paper.

GROCERY BUSINESS FOR SALE

Last Friday was a big. day for
education in Clare county. It was
the oce-asion on which the school officers, from both urban and rural dte-
•tricts, met in biennial. semioa. Tiie
attendance was the biggest' -ever
known before in the county. Only
three districts were not represented'
—Doc and Tom, Hardwood and Clare.
Nearly all the other hoards ♦Tfeiri/-'
present a hundred percent., The qtik
court room was crowded to the limit.
But through the kindly efforts of Attendance Officer Roy Shumway a
suitable seat was found for each-person and all were made to feel ex-
■tromely comfortable through the two
sessions of the day. '
While nothing of this nature had
been planned, both the forenoon aaft
the afternoon meetings were opened
with song by Floyd Holford, of Bedding township, in which he used a
guitar accompaniment. All will-'remember that this boy recently gra&
uated from the rural schools and has!
gained considerable renown as a
vocal and instrumental dispenser ol,.
most pleasing music, The oiffcerif,
were very appreciative of the musical
gifts of this young man and a,t the st"
ternoon session the hat was passed
by Officers Reginald Sharp and Roy
Shumway. When the coin was counted the result showed a net total.of
?8.22 for Floyd. That he was* delighted goes without saying. This most
liberal gift will go a long way tbwartt-
purchasing more music for- him anjfr
result in the dispensing of imwre song
at the'festal and business occasions
of our people. But there was ~addi-"*
tional music, for in'the middle--fat"the
afternoon Officer Jennings-;AVebanv
boult lead the audience in singing.a,
rousing song, , All seemed1 to eiajpy
this pleasant departure very much.
Just before introducing Harry Ne*
man, representative of the Department of Public Instruction. Mr. Ald-
ri<-h spoke briefly, complimenting
the officers on the fine attendance
and giving out a few instructions and
suggestions appertaining to the program. He urged the;officers to feel
free to talk to each other, speak out
in meeting and ask questions'. It was
strictly an informal affair. The officers were not present to learn merely points of law but had come to associate together for a day, to rub elbows, so to speak, gain new ideas and '
become fully aware that there issa
great body of selfsacrlficing men-arid
Women in Clare county devoting, their
endeavors to the furthering of true

governing. The high salaries are not
found in the open spaces. He urged
the officers not to take a "handout"
at some store, but go to one of the
eating places, have a good dinner,
topped off with pie, ice ereani, if desired. While those close to the adi
ministration in Lansing may have
deserted the rural schools of Clare;
county, God has been good to us in
the past and will continue to shower
his blessings upon us. "•;■■'
Mr, Nesman devoted his hour in
the morning to the discussion of thq
Thatcher-Sias Act,' explaining very
thoroughly its every provision, .He
stated the act creates two funds. The
first fund is known as the egualiza-
tion fund, and the' second is called
the primary supplement fuhd. The
equalization fund is equal-to ten percent of the new state aid plus ten
percent of the current primary school
