DAMQTHS BUILD
BEAUTIFUL HOME
NORTHOF RIVER
Construction is of Natural
Logs and  field
Stone
Clare is "pushing north" and what
a few years ago was practically tim-
berland and underbrush, today is developing into one of Clare's most
beautiful residential districts. "Walt"
Pettit, local artisan and "whittler"
pioneered in the development of this
area, with the late Isaiah Leebove
contributing considerably to the improvement of the area, and today Art
Damoth is erecting a beautiful and
comodious natural log and field stone
residence on a seven acre tract of
land laying along the north bank of
the Tobacco river.
An eight by twenty-two foot sun
porch extends across the front of the
house opening from seventeen by
twenty-two foot living room. A comodious entrance is arranged at the
south end of the living room, besides
a large plate glass window looking
out onto the grounds where they
slope away to the river. Large windows throughout the house furnish
ample light and ventilation.
A fifteen by eighteen foot dining
room extends eastward from the living room, forming a large ell shaped
combined living and dining room, A
large field stone fireplace is built into
the north side of this room.
A fourteen by sixteen foot master
bedroom with connecting bath adjoins the living room and another ten
by fifteen foot bedroom is provided.
The eight by fifteen foot kitchen
includes a breakfast nook which will
be furnished with a leather upholstered horseshoe setee.
A passageway connects the house
with a two-car garage with convenient overhead doors.
The interior of the house will be
finished with knotty cedar aud the
concrete floors will be covered with
moisture-proof padding and room
sized carpets.
The house will be heated with three
gas floor furnaces with adequate circulation of air. The combined furnaces have a capacity of 135,000 b.t.u.
An electric water system furnishes
water supplied from a. flowing, well on
the grounds and modern plumbing
and water heating fixtures will be
installed.
The general construction is under
the direction of Mr. Damoth and
Harold Moline, and Jess Stanley, with
twenty years experience in the work,
is assisted by his son in preparing
and laying the logs.
Prominent in the grounds in front
of the house is a large well stocked
fish pool which is supplied with water
from a flowing well and surrounded
by attractively placed rock gardens.
Two small brooks wind across the
rear of the grounds and on down into
the Tobacco.
The grounds are dotted with cedar,
norway, red and white pine, and
various other forest trees, and with
the brush now being cleared from the
grounds down to the water's edge, a
great improvement will be accomplished not only for the Damoth's
pleasure, but also the benefit of the
Clare Tourist Park across the stream
to the south.
This new home, attractive in its
natural construction and simplicity,
will be a welcome addition to the
attractive homes of the city.

PLANS NEARING
COMPLETION FOR
THIS YEAR'S FAIR
Horse Pulling Contests anc.
Newkirk Rodeo
Features
With the opening of the fifty-nft*i
annual Clare County Fair less than
three weeks away, plans are rapidly
formulating for one of the biggest and
best fairs in the history of the event.
Members of the County Fair Board
have put forth every effort during the
past several weeks that this year's
fair may set a record in exhibits,
entertainment and attendance. A new
fifty by one hundred foot horse barn
new sheep shed and new poultry
house have been built, and additional
bleachers added to the grandstand, increasing the capacity to 2,000 persons.
A substantial new eight foot fence
now extends 1,000 feet across the
front of the fair grounds with an
arched general admission gate bearing an inscription announcing the
fair and dates. The fence is being
financed by selling eight by fifteen
foot advertising spaces on the fence,
thirty-five of which have been sold,
and fourteen are now completed.
Horse pulling, contests for heavy
teams weighing 3,000 pounds and
over will be pulled on the Michigan
State College dynamometer, at 4:00
o'clock Friday afternoon, August 29.
This machine creates a great deal of
interest wherever iised and Representative John W. Dunlop put forth
considerable effort to have it brought
here from the Traverse Fair, where
it will be used on the same day.
Lightweight horse pulling contests
will take place at 4:00 o.elock Thurs*-
day afternoon, August 28.
Pulling contests will be open to
residents of Clare county and adjacent townships only and entries may
be made only by the bonafide owners
of the horses entered.
Exhibits of livestock, grains, farm
produce, farm implements and machinery, home economics articles, 4-H
Clubs, etc., are expected to surpass
those of former years and high class
midway attractions will predominate
the concessions.
Col. Newkirk will bring his rodeo
here froin the State Fair for exhibit
tions on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of fair week and then return
to Detroit to complete his engagement there. Those who witnessed this
great exhibition .last year, hampered
as it was by inclement weather, will
welcome the opportunity to see it
under what we hope will be decidedly
more favorable conditions, and enjoy
the many new features added since
last year.
Nice appearing premium lists were
distributed last week and all are
urged to have their entries in good
condition and ready for registration
day, Tuesday, August 26.
Much credit is due President John
W. Dunlop, Vice President Ray Harold, Treasurer J. Stuart Bicknell,
Secretary John Bell, and the Clare
County Board of Supervisors for their
splendid efforts devoted to the better-
men of our County Fair.
