Evart High, Ancient rivals of Clare,
came to town last Friday expecting
an easy win over the Green Wave but
were decisively defeated 18-7 with
six regulars playing their last home
game, Clare's gridders took field with
but one thought, "Beat Evart."
Capt. Anderson lost the toss and
Clare -kicked off. The ball went to the
twenty and was carried back to the
thirty yard line. On third down
Evart fumbled and the ball was re
covered by Cappeart, Clare's left
tackle. Clare took the ball to the four
yard line on a series of running
plays, and from their Jigg3 Tope
scored the first touchdown of the day
.The extra point failed.
Clare again kicked off after an exchange of punts, Evart fumbled
again and it was recovered by Ed
.Foss smashing right guard. Clare
took the ball on the thirty and ran it
to the twenty yard line. Clare was
penalized fifteen yards but gained it
right back. Finally Evart took the
ball on downs and on fourth down
they were forced to punt to Clare's
forty yard line. On a beautiful executed play a thirty yard pass by
Sanford to Maxwell who jumped high
in the air to get it and laterald to
Budd Anderson who ran the remaining yards for a touchdown. The extra, point failed as the half ended

In the third quarter Clare's offence
bogged but their defence held. Evart
took the ball to the three yard line
but lost it on downs. Doc Sanford
fetanding in the end zone punted tc
BJiody who was run out of bounds
ton the six yard line. On the fourth
down they scored. The extra point
'was successful.
In the last quarter Clare opened it
np again on their passes and running
plays. Midway the last quarter San-
iford dropped back to his own thirty
yard line and threw a thirty yard
pass to Maxwell wlio was running at
top speed, received the ball on 30 and
he crossed the goal for a touch down,
the extra point failed.    Score 1S-7.
The whole team played well. The)
ends turned them in, the tackles and,
-guards crashed through and the back
fielders stopped their passes and,
blocked well. On offence the line

Harriger, Foss, Anderson, Maxwell
blocked well, for the back fielders,
Tope in the backfield blocked well;

CHILDREN WARNED TO
DISCONTINUE PLAYING
ABOUT RAILROAD YARD

Necessary   to   Stop   Eastbound
Train to Remove Four
Boys
County officials and men of authority of the Pere Marquette railroad,
company have been encountered with
a situation in our city that may result in serious injury or possibly
death if the practice is followed.
Prosecuting Attorney Theo. G.
Bowler states that it was necessary
recently for the trainmen to stop.the
east bound train to let four lads off
of same at the east city limits, and
another incident where a girl was
found crawling under the train coach.
"This is very dangerous and all boys
and girls are publicly warned against
a, continuation of this prank.
Mr. Havens, a railroad official was
in Clare Saturday morning in art effort
to curtail this practice.
Parents are" also urged to caution
•their^ children as to the possible re-
jsults of playing, about the railroad.
We are confident that our youth have
sufficient playground space without
adding anxiety 'to parents and officers
by gloing upon dangerous grounds.

Their Choice Was Peace
For mjos-.o. us the,signing of the Armistice is not
yet history. It is not something of which we
have read . . . something dry and dull and ponderous. It is, indeed, a memory of boys returning home, of patient parents, of wives not daring
to hope TOO much. It is the end of war, as we
remember it. Whether future historians will take
the same view, and put down November 11 as the
end of world conflicts, or merely shrug, and write
it as the end of another war, is a matter that can
be decided only by those of us who live today.

Roosevelt Sweeps Nation
With Record-Smashing
Totals in Forty-six States
Democratic State Candidates Also Elected by Large Ma-
jorites.   Clare County Remains Traditionally One
Hundred Percent Republican
In an election drama that grew more 5 publican,  every county candidate be
astonishing each hour as election returns became more complete Wednes
day, the nation spoke as never before
and proclaimed Roosevelt, Garner
and the New Deal as winners in the
most strenuous campaign ever held
between two parties which closed
Monday night.
All time records for electorial vote
getting and for popular votes cast tot
tered and fell as the head of the Democratic party pilled up a mountair
of ballots in 46 of the 48 states. More
over, the Democratic majorities in
the new congress seems likely to be
larger than the overpowering strength enjoyed by the party during the
past two years.
In Michigan one of the big surprises, and regrets Of many, came when
Governor Frank D. Fitzgerald and al)
Republican members of his administration landslide, , and elected High
Commissioner Frank Murphy of the
Philippines, governor by more than
50,000 majority. For the first time
in history, Michigan, after January 1
will have a government with Democrats in every administrative office
lexcept superintendent of public instruction, which will not be voted on
until next spring.
•In the Tenth Congressional districfl
Roy O. Woodruff, Veteran Republican
Congressman, clung to his lead oi
over 5,000 majority with much over
one-half of* the district's 264 precincts
accounted for. Miles M. Callaghan
of Reed City, Republican candidate
for State Senator of the 28th district
seems assured of his election as his
■m'adorities wete hold/ng throughout
the district. Bernie Hampton, of
Harrison, Republican candidate fo
State Representative from the Osceola-Clare district, is conceded elected
as he has a majority pf over 2,000
with only a few of the small precincts
to be heard from.
Clare county went 100 percent Re*
ing elected by excellent majorities.
This is said to be "largely djjue to the
efforts put forth by the county committee and especially its chairman
Kyle McKinnon, who has labored
tirelessly night ancl day for several
weeks for his party and its candidates. ' Each nominee for "office* has
also put forth every effort to cover
the county thoroughly with a person
al visit to the voter whereever it war
possible.
On page 10 of this issue will bi
found the tabulation of the countj
vote as cast by both parties, which
will tell the story much better than
words.

TWO PARKS UNDER
DEVELOPMENT NORTH
OF CLAREJN US-27
Rearing Pond Extended on
Spike Horn Creek and
Landscaping Planned
^Clare, Clare County will have ar.
added attraction for tourist next summer in the new trout rearing ponds
and park being developed on Spike
Horn creek, three miles south of Harrison. A WPA crew of a dozen men is
now at work on a Circular rearing
pond and is ditching to supply additional water for the existing pond.
A five-acre tract adjacent to the
ponds, now covered with second-growth cedar, Will be cleared of under*
brush and made into an attractive
spot for tourists and picnic parties.
With favorable weather the improvements will be completed by the end of
the year.
The estimated cost of the project
is §9,154, of which the county is contributing §1„959.
South of this point at the flowing
well site so popular to hundreds of
tourists who travel the TJS27 foute,
a road side park is under construction. This is located on the west
side of the highway with ample room
for parking on the road which entwines thru the park. Paths and a
rustic bridge give access from the
entrance across the narrow stream ol
water to the roadside tables and
recreation grounds. A rustic cottage and rest rooms are set back in
the wooded area. This project will
be completed yet this fall.
Workmen are also busy placint*'
snow fence at locations where the excessive snowfalls each winter blockade traffic.
The observance of one week during
the year as an American Education
week was first inaugurated in 1921.
The main objective of this week has
been to set aside a time when tb?
American people pause to consider
the schools of the nation, the most
cherished institution in our democracy.
It has been rightly stated that our
American school system is one of tha
greatest economic enterprises in the
United States. If this is true then
American Education Week might
well be called a week of inventory. A
time when we look more closely at
this investment whicli we are making and help to insure that a maximum return shall be obtained from
it.
Every person interested in the
youth of our country should make it
a point to visit the schools during the
•week of November 9-12. Make this a
week spent in the interest of educa-
tion. As you visit the school and
share in the activities, the school will
take on a new meaning and its problems will really be your problems.
The schedule of programs for
'American Education Week is as fob
lows:
Tuesday evening, The Good Literature Club will observe A. E. W. at the-
regular meeting. Dr. Beck of Central State will address the club.
' Wednesday, 11 a. m. an Armistice
Day program will be held in the high
