Four Hundred,People Sign
Petition Requesting Gon->
sideration  of New
Building
Wm. H. Caple Chosen as Chairman to Cooperate With Department in Project
Word was received Wednesday afternoon from Washington relative to
the appropriation of money for the
building of new Postoffice buildlngsi
According to the report, Clare is on
the list with eleven other cities in
Michigan.
This is certainly good news to the
citizens of Clare, because of our need
for a new Postoffice. This movement
was commenced and sponsored by
the Clare Chamber of Commerce and
the Common Council. Formal resold
ttons were adopted by both organizations recommending a new Postoffice
building for our city. Petitions were;
then circulated throughout the City
under the direction of William H.
Caple, and approximately four-hundred signatures obtained requesting
the Postoffice. Department to give due
consideration to our needs for a new
building. In the circulating of the,
petitions it was found that many of
the people would' like to see the former Clare County Savings Bank building utilized for the Postoffice, however, they also stated, that in the
event the building did not meet the.
requirements of the Postoffice Department they were anxious to see it located on some other site.
The City Council and the Chamber
of Commerce or any one who has any
connection with the matter feel that
the citizens of Clare should not ati
tempt in any manner to influence
the judgment of the Department in
regard to the selection of a site or
building, as these organizations feel
that we can obtain quicker and better action by allowing them free
hand,
The Chamber of Commerce has appointed the following "committee" to
cooperate with the Postoffice Department in the furthering of this project: William H. Caple, Chairman,
Jesse Hampton, Donald E. Holbrook
and C. C. Harris.

Michigan farmers who prefer to
hold grain and to borrow money on
it to meet current production expenses can now obtain loans on grain
stored on the farrii, according to
Governor W. I. Myers, Governor ot
the Farm  Credit Administration.
Governor Myers says, "The Production credit asociations of which therq
are more than 550 in the United
States serving all counties are equipped to make loans to farmers on a
business basis taking as security
grain held for sale and stored in farm
warehouses," said Governor Myers,
"These will be regular production
credit loans and .made for any agricultural purpose. They will, however, give farmers an opportunity tq
boi-row on grain stored in good storage on their farms and thus avoi'Jl
the necessity of taking graitt to the
elevator or' mill, to be purchased
later by another farmer for feeding
purposes.
"The bulk of the feed produced is*
consumed In the county in which it
is grown", continued Mr. Myers, and
I believe it will be a distant service
to farmers to grant them credit on a
business basis whereby they can
avoid hauling back and forth to the,
elevator or warehouse but can store
it properly on their farms and use it
as security for a loan when necessary. Much of the feed produced nt
the United States is sold to neighbors
and if a farmer is operating on^ a.
sound basis, there is ho reason why
he shouldn't be granted credit on the
secxirity of grain properly stored oi)
his farm just as readily as an elevator operator can borrow money on
grain held in his elevator or warft-
house.
"The amount lbaned will depend
upon the needs of the borrower and
the security offered. These loansf
will be made to fai-mei-s who rate a£
good credit risks and who will give
their notes to the production credit
association together With a chattel
mortgage or a warehouse receipt in
those states where laws provide for
their insurance on grain properly
stb-rtsd on'tenaft."   •"•■",;:* *,*,   .''■".■.*/'
