"MIXED KICKERS
GOLF TOURNAMENT"
PLAYEDJONDAY
Gallagher-Elden  Overplay
"The Money" by 3 to
10 Points
Those who  did    not    attend    the
"Mixed  Kicker's  Golf    Tournament"
staged  at Twin Elms Sunday afternoon are unaware of the sport they
.missed.
The men's names were placed in
a hat and each lady drew one for a
partner for nine holes. Then each
couple withdrew for consolation as
just what, as a pair, they could shoot
the course in, at the same time con
sidering the baffling fact that they
were founding their handicap on t>
"blind" par to be drawn, after the
game, from sealed envelopes holding:
the numbers from 71 to 79 inclusive)
Well, now it was good. Byron
Gallagher, one of the *aces" of Twin,
Elms was drawn by Adelaide Elden,
one of the link's newer players and
had they played a poorer game by
from 3 to 10 points they would have
been, "in the money," but as in the
ease of several other twosomes- they
were just too. good. Byron was
most attentive to his partner and
pointed out many little errors in her
shots that Mrs. 'Elden proclaims to
have been worth a lot to her.
When at the finish of the contest,
, the, various "nets" were computed,
it was discussed that Gladys Hampton^ Annabejle Hampton, Mabel
Parker ancl their partners, N. A.
Elden, Jerry Callihan and L. Valliere
respectively? were winners with a 72
each. This week the ladies decided
to determine, to whom the prize
should be presented, by cutting the
cards and since doing so Mabel and
her boy friend from Detroit are now
playing with a brand new U. S. Royal
Lou Hampton, of Harrison, and
Richard Woodcock lay sole claim to
the second prize, with a lone perfect
78, and now "Woody" uses a new
fairway in demonstrating to his understudy's "Hank Doll and Frank
Hochstetler "how" to make a few oi
the shots which have puzzled them
in the past. He says, Quote, "Hank
is coming fine but Frank still has
more or less trouble with his woods,
his irons and his conversation to
them."
Now arrangements are under way
' for a 2 ball foursome match on next
\ Sunday, August 5th, 9 holes, game tc
start at 3 bells sharp, fee 10c, no
handicap, lady's choice by drawing
as last Sunday and let us hope there
are more ladies present for this contest. Prizes will be awarded directly after the match.
The regulars of Twin Elms journeyed to Big Rapids for a match last
Thursday and were defeated by a
score of-,9 to 6.
One of the features of,-the day was
the contest staged between I. E.
Hampton and George Fairman, two
seventy-two old boys known to the
younger set as the grand daddies of
their respective courses. After a
tie on 18 holes these 3 old boys decided to play down No. 1 to see
• which was better and they were in
the cup a tie. Then they .faced
anout and in an even number of shots,
. their balls lay about 1 foot apart on
No. 1 tee.
Ed. Johnston was paired against
his old college opponent, Glen
Loomis and after a contest similar to their base ball days of old they
found the game a draw and for their
own satisfaction played another 9
at the end of which. Ed and his partner had their opponents down but
one point.
Dine, dance and golf at Twin Elms
d prepare now for the 2 ball contest for Sunday.

will be speakers before the adjourned
meeting of the Clare Chamber of
Commerce which will be: held tonight
(Friday) at 6:30 o'clock at the Hotel

This meeting is special in its
nature and it is quite imperative that
the membership make an extra effort*
to be out though it is our regular
Hummer vacation period.
We are all interested In Clare and
any prospective: development means
renewed "energy^ Let us make this a
very beneficial meeting to all.
Tuesday afternoon Lillian Lohrke,
the twelve years old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Lohrke, of this city,
was severely injured and had her left
leg fractured while riding-' her bicycle
about three miles south of Clare on
U. S. 27, by becoming mixed up with
three autoes passing her. One driver, Mr. Lee E. Parrish, of Bowling
Green, Ohio, had sharply turned off
the pavement to avoid colliding with
her, but found she had also turned
there to avoid the other cars and was
struck by the Parrish car, throwing
her down.
Mr. Parrish quickly brought her to
the Clare Hospital where the star?
promptly eased her sufferings and
treated her injuries, it being fount")
that both bones of the left leg were,
(fractured and splintered, protruding
through the skin rendering it a compound fracture, a more complicated
case. She also suffered painful but
not otherwise serious injuries on both
knees, chin, lips and forehead.
She was removed to her home the
same evening, and is making the best
of the situation. Mr. Parrish was
most gentlemanly in his kind efforts
to assist in making the little girl
comfortable, and his insurance will
take care of the financial damages.
EARLY MORNING RAINFALL
WELCOMED BY FARMERS
The loud clatter of thunder and
flashes of lightning accompanied by
a heavy but easy downfall of rain
was welcomed by all in this territory
.early Thursday morning. We are safe
in saying that this was the heaviest
rainfall here during this spring and
summer. The bean, beet and potato
crops will be greatly benefitted and
in many cases the corn is not too far
along to receive aid in the filling of
the ear.
It has been necessary for many
farmers to reduce their livestock
herds due to lack of pasture and the
outlook for winter feeding caused by
the scarcity of rain and the extreme
heat.
ADVERTISERS WIN GAME

from all the players..
Next Sunday they play Beal City
at Coldwater Lake and a real good

FINE CROWD ENJOYS
FARMERS DAY EVENTS
Livestock Problems and Land
Use Are Principal Topics
of Speaking Program
Either the romance of Michigan's
lumbering days or a desire to get the
latest news on farming drew 5,000
people to the Annual Farmers Day, a
crowd intent on hearing the talks of
Elmer Beamer, Bllssfield, president of
the National Livestock Shippers Association, and of Dr. George S. Wehr-
wein, University of Wisconsin.
Attendance figures at Farmers Day
are apparently well known among a.
certain light fingered fraternity who
are also optimists enough to believe
farmers carry large sums of money
with them. Two pickpockets were
arrested while trying to practice their
profession,
William Girad, Gladstone, champion
log roller lived up to his advance
notices in birling a basswood log in
time to the strains of the Lumberjack
orchestra. The distance Michigan
has traveled since it was the fore*
most lumber state was well illustrated by the need for using a basswood
log. No white pine log large enough
could be obtained in the Lower
Peninsula.
-The Lumberjack Orchestra, under
the leadership of H. S. Babcock, Alma, played on the afternoon program
as well as during the water sports.
This organization is one the State
can Well applaud. Memories of brave
days return under the influence of
the old time bunk house melodies.
Elmer Beamer told his audience
that immediate measures are necessary if Michigan livestock owners are
to avoid the immense financial losses
that have occurred in other states.
Mr. Beamer had just returned from a
trip through the drought area where

BABY ABANDONED
BY YOUNG MOTHER
AT SAINT JOHNS
Clare Officials Identify Child
as   Daughter   of   Mrs.
Josephine Smith Born
at Local Hospital       *
Reading of a newpaper article . u*
several state papers the local officials aided in clearing the mystery
surrounding the month old baby girl
abandoned in St. Johns July 23rd. On
Wednesday of last week Justice S, ML
Callihan, Undersheriff W. H. Erter
and Alfred Grice motored to that city
and the baby was brought to Clare
and identified as little Miss Joyce
(Joan Smith. The mother, Mrs,
(Josephine Smith was placed under
arrest by Clinton county authorities,
for the act.
Later we learn that Mrs. Smith,
was sentenced to a term ot six
months to ten years in the Detroit
House of Correction.
An announcement was made by
the Clare Hospital of the arrival on
June 29th of Joyce Joan as the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Smith
of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The babe was
kept for several days at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Grice and later
cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Arthui?
Johnson. Sundaj*, July 22nd tha
mother returned to the city and
claimed the child taking it with her
from Clare. The following morning the city of St. Johns was stirred
with excitement when it became
known that a month old baby girl
had been found abandoned in a car
at Anselm's gasoline station. Acting upon a tip from Clare officials-
the identity of the child was learned.
We take the liberty to use in part
the story taken from the Clinton
County Republican last week Thursday giving), complete details, which
are as follows:
Joyce Jc&n was left in Clare when
the mother returned to her parents'
home in Alma, On Sunday night
Mrs. Smith borrowed a car from a
man friend at Shepherd, drove to
Clare, got her baby and then headed
south. After her arrest Wednesday
night at Alma she told Clinton officers that she had no recollection of-
abandoning the baby at St. Johns,
but remembered that she reached Alma at 5 o'clock Monday morning. She
claimed to be ill when the officers arrived and was brought by ambulan.Ce
to the hospital at St. Johns where she
is being held in custody. The maximum penalty for her crime is 10
years in prison:
Mrs. Smith declares that a Tulsa*
Oklahoma man, who formerly lived at
Mt, Pleasant, is the* father of Joyce-
Joan. She had not been living with
her husband, whom she- married Hve^
years ago, for some time. She is then-other of another daughter, Aged
four years.
POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT

ability. Your support at the primary,

Tim Graves.
Noises foreign to a bachelors ear*
sent'Morris Anselm, St. * Johns gas
station proprietor, scurrying aboufc
his premises on North Clinton avenue early Monday morning. The
sounds seemed strangely muffled and
it was not until Anselm peeked into
his automobile, parked near the
station, that he found the source.
There on the car seat lay a month-
old baby girl crying for her breakfast, or perhaps just regjistering vocal
disapproval of her discomfort. All
the windows were closed and the hot
sun was rapidly turning the youngster's quarters' into an oven.   '
"Holy smoke," ejaculated. Anselm,
"somebody's left me a baby."
Somebody, but who? The car was
empty, when Anselm locked up and
went to bed at midnight, and jio one
saw or heard "anyone around the
station from then on until morning.
But folks, who go around abandoning
babies seldom make much noise, and
in. this case they must have sneaked
around quietly tucked the infant in
the auto and silently departed while
Anselm slept.
There was a note (there usually is)
