November 10th Set for Third
" Event in Connection With
American Edu. Week
Clare F. F. A. Chapter No. 110, met
In the Agriculture room for their second meeting of the school year last
Monday. Regular meetings will be
held every two weeks.
The chapter's activities are directed by the executive committee, composed of Kenneth Haines, Walter
Kleiner, Herbert McDonald, James
Murphy, Murray Moore, Donald David,

C. Hansen.
The local chapter elected Walter

National Convention of Future Farmers of America to be held in Kansas
City, October 17 to 22, 1937. He will
leave on a special train from Lansing
in company with the Michigan Delega-

tf£~ Prospects for the    future    of    the
chapter are very promising. Active
membership has been increased from
twenty-seven to thirty-five and after
the Green Hand initiation late in
October this number is expected to
reach forty or more.
Thirty boys carried crop and livestock projects during the summer,
under the direction of the advisor J.
C. Hansen.
Most of the crop projects have been
completed with some very good yieMs
being reported.
Plans are now being formulated for
the Third Annual Community Fair to
be held November 10th in connection
with American Education week. Premium lists are to be made available next
week. This fair is fast becoming a
tradition at Clare high school and an
event that is awaited with interest
and enthusiasm. The past summer
has been ail exceptionally fine one
for crops so that the management expects a large number of high quality
products to be entered.

TEMPLE MAN HAYING

In making an official check-up on.
the investigation mentioned in The

probation for ninety days.
Mrs. Gagnon had obtained a divorce
from Gagnon in the last term of circuit court, and on Wednesday'of last

CLARE FOOTBALL
PLAYERS RETURN
WiTHJMT FRI.
ErnestBryant Makes Touchdown. .Sacred Heart Here
This Afternoon
Local folks did not have to mako
any inquiries into the result of the
football game played last week Friday by the Clare high school team ou
the St. Loui3 gridiron*. The "Goat'"'
has been returned to Clare pastures
for the remainder of the season, hav-1
ing been captured during the last
basketball season by our Gratiot

celebrated by a lively group parading
our streets with their trophy proudly
displayed on the hood of their car.
Ernest Bryant was star player, making the touchdown that assured the
Goat's return. The score was 6-0.
Coach Brown allowed all players of
the local squad to have part in the
skirmish...
The first game on the local gridiron
will take place this Friday afternoor
at 4:00 o'clock when Sacred Heart
will appear for play. This is a very
good team, but the.Clare lads are a
strong offensive group and hold no
fear for this afternoon. The public is
urged to give the boys good backing
from the bleachers to help spur them
on as they strive to make the goal
line. Four o'clock is the hour for
this fall sport game—don't fail them.

Mural, Wdl Be
Painted in Clare
* Post Office Soon
Allan Thomas, of Jackson, is busily
engaged at the Clare postoffice building preparing the wall for a large
mural painting which can be seen at
the west end of the lobby when completed. As far as we can learn only
one other postoffic* of this classification In the state Ife Michigan has a
mural, and this ii la Iron Mountain.
This piece of Mr. Thomas' art work
is most attractive and is a scene of
Early History and Lumbering. Mr.
Thomas studied in the east and returned to his native city of Jackson
four years ago and devotes his entire
time to this art.
Postmaster Jackson invites the
public's attention to this beautiful
new attraction to our new post office building.
PECIAL DEPUTIES
APPOINTED FOR
HUNTING SEASONS
Efforts to Be Made to Eliminate All Accidents and
Misunderstanding
All of the law enforcement officers,
in Clare County, are putting forth
every effort to protect the hunters,
coming here for the opening of the
bunting seasons, against accidents
and to give each individual an even
break in his favorite sport.
Sheriff Geo. Bates, with the cooperation of the Clare Rod and Gun
Club has appointed thirty special
deputies to assist Conservation officer Edward Gilson in enforcing the
laws and regulations for the protection of game, during the hunting seasons.        * o
District Supervisor Gus Fuehr, ol
Gladwin, will come to Clare next Monday evening, October 11th, to conduct
a school of instruction, and assist
these special deputies in any way
desired, to prepare themselves for
their duties,
i In the past many infractions of the
hunting laws, in most cases of a min-
j or nature, have marred otherwise perfect hunting trips. It is the desire of
these men to eliminate this condition
as far as possible. There is plenty of
legal game for all, and if the hunters
will consider their brother nimrods,
as well as themselves, all can have a
splendid time  at this popular sport.
Pamphlets entitled "Michigan Game)
Law Digest" may be obtained anywhere hunting licenses are sold and
all hunters are urged to obtain a copy,
and check up on the new laws, before  entering the woods to hunt.
All local citizens are urged to do
what they can to help the officers in
enforcing the laws and regulations
and protecting all hunters against accident's of any nature.

this week prepared attractive Show

URGE BLACK BEAR
CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT
IN VISIT TO CITY SUNDAY
Sunday about noon much excitement prevailed in the eastern part of
the city when Ila, the nine year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mannie Sut7
ton, in looking out the side window of
their home, screamed that a large
black bear was coming to the house.
Investigation by the family proved
that she was right. The animal had
came through the cemetery, passed to
the back door of Mrs. A. J. Clute's
residence onto the Sutton property.
Here it was frightened to the east and
after jumping several fences went into the White "orchard and passed to
the east and was lost sight of
although several men tried to follow
his tracks.

OPENING OF HUNTING SEASONS WILL
BRINGMANY HERE
Local Merchants Prepared
for Record Throngs of
Nimrods This Year
The opening of the small game
hunting season will bring thousands
of hunters to Northern Michigan
within the next few days, and many
of them will stop in Clare for provisions, clothing, blankets, ammunition
and other supplies as well as hunting
licenses. Because of its proximity to
the hunting area, Clare has always
been a popular city with the hunters,
and in recent years the streets have
been lined with their cars during the
various seasons.
Hunters have already started moVi
ii3 in for the opening of the . duck
ecrron tomorrow, October 9th, and
will soon be followed by those coming
fnr the pheasant, partridge and rabbit
huri'r-g, which is scheduled to start
F*-**_ry, October 15th.
Tho unprecedented number of hunt-
c*; cming north last year depleted
tl*-' stocks of the mostly demanded
ifems, carried by local merchants for
V".z occasion, but all have ample sup-
pVos on hand this year. In fact, a tour
of these business places reveals cloth-
ir-, blankets, guns, ammunition, etc.
r:I?d high in readiness for the coming
of the nimrods.
The nrmber of hunting licenses sold
in the city of Clare each year, is not
ciTly interesting but amazing. Over
$4,600 worth of licenses are now on'
hand to supply the anticipated demand. This service takes considerable of the merchants time from their
regular business, and we are sure they
will appreciate it, if local hunters will
procure their licenses early and
avoid the last minute rush.
The fact that Clare is also a popular rendezvous for fishermen, is
shown by the fact that over $2,000
worth of fishing licenses were bought
in the city during the past season.
These figures include deer and bear
licenses, but in neither the case of
hunting or fishing- licenses, do they
include those purchased from Conservation officers.
