COUNCIL UPHOLDS
ORDINANCE AFTER
MUCHJISCUSSION
Two Auto Companies Fined
by Justice Hudson for
Operating Without
License
At the postponed meeting Tuesday
night the City Council members listened to discussions for and against
the City's Peddlers and Hucksters
ordinance under which the Lane Auto
Sales, of South McEwan street, and
the McConkey-Keen Sales of .east 5th
street, were arrested, and convicted
last week Wednesday, but took no action in the matter.
Wednesday, before Justice Fred
Hudson, the Lane Auto Sales were
given a fine of $10.00, together with
costs of $6.50 and ordered to pay
$180.00 for the privilege of doing business in the city. The McConkey-Keen
company was ordered to pay a fine of
$10.00 with $6.50 costs and $135.00 for

1000 LEGAL SIZE TROUT
PLANTED IN THE TOBACCO
BY CONSERVATION DEPT.
The Department -of- Conservation
planted 1000 legal size brook trout,
averaging nine Inches in iength, in
the Tobacco river Monday of last
week. More trout will be planted in
the streams of the county in the near"
future as a part of the department's
propogation program.
In the interest of conservation and
good sportsmanship, fishermen are requested not to fish where trout have
been planted for at least 24 hours.
The reason for this is that trout reared in captivity are accustomed to eating anything thrown "on the water for
them, and until they have a chance to
spread and acquaint themselves with
their new surroundings and source of
feed, they are entirely at the mercy of
the fishermen.
Members of the Clafre Rod and Gun
Club assisted with the planting.

Supervised Recreation
Three Hours Daily
Mrs. Helen Butler, kindergarten
teacher of the Clare Public school,
opened a play school for pre-school
children last Tuesday morning. The
school is in session from 9:00 to 12:00
every morning from Monday to Friday of the week.
An hour of play on the swings, slide
and teeter-totters of the school playground Is followed by a rest period
and light refreshments in the kinder-'
garten room of the school. Later",
Mrs. Butler has a story telling hour.
Nursery schools are a new trend
in education and are advocated by
Well known educators. Clare is very
fortunate to have Mrs. Butler, who has
had several years teaching experience
for this enterprise.
Children are taught to play and
cooperate with each other. Very
often, a fchild whchas not had this experience finds himself lost in a
strange world when he attends school.
Teachers calculate that it takes a child
a year or so to adjust himself to
other children and really know how
to play.
Many mothers are Inclined to feel
they are farming out their baby. However, a child who is living in a world
of his own playmates is much happier
than the one who plays alone.
The hursery school is valuable since
It aids in the training of the child. It
is not meant to take the place of
the home, but in many cases, to supplement it^and usually with excellent results.
Mrs. Butler will be glad to interview^ any mother*) who are interested
in sending their children to tKe" summer play school either, at the school
or her home on East 5th street*     •

OIL NEWS
Sooii after the Sentinel had gone to
press last week, operations at the
McKay Loveless No. 1, just north of
Cherry Grove cemetery, took a change
that will undoubtedly save the well.
As the drillers had finished the pulling of the tubing, the drill was dropped back and the hole deepened three
feet. As a result oil raised in the
pipe to depth of 450 feet. After the
hole Was thoroughly swabbed, oil returned to the top and has since been
flowing from 10 to 20 barrels per day.
The Gulf Refining Co., having decided to make an oil test of their huge
gasser on section 21 Lincoln township, mudded it off early this week and
the drill is now working its way toward the Dundee formation. Lowness
of rock pressure was given as the reason for not capping the 17,000,000
cubic feet producer and saving the
gaB.
Oh the J. Higelmier's No. 1 Van
Horn oil test on section 3, Freeman
tdwnship, drillers struck the Dundee
at a depth of 3888," Thursday 'morning and drilling has been discontinued
until Monday. In the meantime casing will be run. A slight showing of
oil and gas was discovered at this
depth. The Dundee is 69 feet higher
here than in the test recently made
in Sec. 31 Greenwood.
The drilling mast for an oil teBt on
the J. W. Schaeffer property on the.
SW^4 of section 26, Grant township, is
being rigged up this week.
.The bit on the Charter's Currie No.
4, near the center of section 8, Vernon township is down below 3250
feet. _ ..
The S. A. Peirce Co. ran into salt
water at 3335 feet at the location in
Sec. 5, CW% SW., Wise township, and
the machinery has been moved to the
Ernie Beale farm in Wise. This is a
pooled acreage of 160 acres' owned
