BANQUET MAY 6TH
Ferris   Institute   Dean    of
Women Principal
Speaker
The daughters of the Congregational Sunday School honored their
mothers with a banquet in the church
parlors Tuesday evening, May 6th. A
capacity attendance filled the dining
room which was beautiful with baskets of spring flowers, pastel shades
predominating in the decoration of
the tables on which were placed many
dolls, two of which were over 50 years
old. A corsage of woods violets was
at each place.
The extraordinary dinner was
served by a few fathers and Rev.
Dawe's class of boys.
Mrs. F. E. Hochstetler, Superintendent of the Sunday School presented
the toastmaster. Dr. Schutt, who,
in her very capable manner, presented
the program.
The poem "To All Mothers From AH
Daughters," given by Collette Barnes,
was responded to by Mrs. Stanley
Marten. Mona Rae Johnson sang "A
Mother's Song," accompanied on the
piano by her mother Mrs. A. Johnson.
Unison singing was led by Mrs. Mair,
with Mrs. Lionell Duncan at the piano.
Mrs. G. MacGregor, of Big Rapids,
Commercial Instructor and Dean of
Women of Ferris Institute, the speaker of the evening, delivered her message, which dealt with each phase of
a girl's life from birth until motherhood, in a language which everyone
present could understand and appreciate. She impressed upon the minds
of mothers the thought that the teaching of high ideals must begin with the
first maternal care a child receives;
that the religious instruction which
the child receives in the short period
which they spend in Sunday School
must be supplemented by more training in the home.
Many exclamations of pleasure and
commendation brought the evening to
a happy close. This will become an
annual affair on the church calendar,
the first Tuesday in May being designated for the same.

Testing of Clare pounty cattle for
Bang's disease was icompleted Saturday, May 3rd. Dr.; Charles W. De-
land in charge of the work states
there were 968 herds numbering more
than 10,000 cattle tested. Of this number, infection was found in 156 herds
with a total of 543 cattle being branded and shipped for slaughter which
makes an infection rate of 5.3%. According to Dr. C. H. Clark, State Veterinarian, this ia about the rate of
infection expected.
Dr. Clark and Dr. Hays, Chief Inspector of the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry, and Dr. Raider, State
Field Supervisor, visited the local
testing crew at their laboratory head-
quarers last Thursday. All of the
men expressed their appreciation of
the spirit of cooperation displayed by
Clare county farmers in conducting a
test. Only two herds remain to be
tested. One of these is due to lack of
facilities to hold the cattle while being bled. The second case is of a
farmer who has not fully decided to
be the "one in a thousand" to refuse
or just wants to cause the testers as
much inconvenience as possible. At
the end of thirty-days h.*-will -have to
choose between having tlie test applied or being quarantined, an uncomplimentary distinction.
Now that the test has been completed, it behooves every cattle owner
to cooperate to make the test effective. Cattle may legally be brought
into the county under the following
conditions: 1. For immediate slaughter, 2. If they comte from an accredited herd or have had a test within 60
days, 3. .If not tested before arrival,
the cattje. must ;be..kept isolated on
the premises: where delivered1 and a
test made immediately.   .
These rulings apply only to female'
stock or bulls over 6 months of age:
Heifers included in lots of feeder
cattle are subject to this ruling.
Dr. Clark wishes to have our farmers understand that they cannot expect to collect indemnities for reactor
cattle found to have been imported after the date of completing this test
except until such cattle have passed
the above requirements and have been
in the owner's herd for six months.

POPPY DAY WILL
BE OBSERVED IN
CLAREJAY 24TH
Legion   Auxiliary   to   Sell
Memento of Flanders
Field
Memory of America's war dead in
the first World War will be honored
here on Saturday, May 24, when
everybody will be asked to wear a
memorial poppy in tribute to their
service and sacrifice.
Plans for the observance of Poppy
Day are being completed by the
Walter H. Larmon unit of the American Legion Auxiliary under the leadership of lone Gorr, Poppy Day Chairman. The memorial flowers, made by
disabled war veterans, will be offered
on the streets throughout the day by
the Auxiliary women.
This yeaft', with the threatening
shadow of a new World War falling
across America, the memorial poppy
has new significance. It shows that
America still remembers and honors
those who fell in its defense twenty-
three years ago; that Americans still
believe that America's free way of
life is worth any sacrifice, and that
the spirit of patriotism still burns
strongly in American hearts.
The poppies grew on the battle
front in France where the young men
of America defeated the military
might of autocracy in a gallant display of the strength of aroused
democracy. When we wear them on
Poppy Day, their bright red blooms
will remind us that our democracy
has the strength to repell any dangers
if we will serve as they served. There
is inspiration for us all in the poppy
of great memories.
The poppies which the Auxiliary
will distribute here have been made
by disabled veterans at Veterans
Facility Hospital No, 100, at Fort Custer. All Poppy Day workers will
serve as volunteers and all of the
money contributed to them for the
flowers will go into the welfare funds
of the Auxiliary to carry forward tha
Auxiliary's work for the disabled,
their families and the families of the
dead during the year ahead."

Super Minstrel
Show Postponed
Until Next Year
School officials agreed this we^g.
that a minstrel show every other yassf
would excite a greater amount of ea-
thusiasm than it would as an anawsS
event. Also the closely cro*ET*ie*i
school calendar, Band Concert, F.F-A,
trip, Music Festival, Senior _*■-%,
Assemblies, Prom, and Grade Ope??-
etta, eliminates most Of the possible
rehearsal dales, making it impossible
to stage a successful minstrel show
this spring.
The completed script prepared fesy
this year's speech class will be kep^
on file along with a full list of song^,
jokes, and costumes.
The fact that a successful min*3*i-#
production demands hours of wo.**
and rehearsal proves the necessity _£
waiting until time for such activity J*
available.
Next year, however, the mins*t«&
show will be given a definite place
on the school calendar in such ia tifjf
that it does not conflict with a&smt
events. This should insure -ij_'t-£gf_|'r
excellent showing,'*     ■ "-
