BUSINESS GOOD.
Conditions   Never    Better   Here
Than at Present.
Randolph—Walker
It dosen't require much of an investigation among tbe business
places of Clare to learn that, as far
as tbis city is concerned, there is no
complaint with the way things are
moving along this spring.
We dont have big factories and industrial enterprises, bat we do have
a goodly number of thriving stores
and other business places. And we
have some fine country al! around us
that is developing rapidly. So there
is no reason to 1 ok for anything but
increasing prosperity.
We are fortunate in having merchants who have leaned the secret
of growth confidence in the future,
and who never sit down to complain
of dull tunes hut are constantly a!i\e
to the development of new business.
Files have also learned the ttie value
of advertising, and realize that the
readers of a weekh paper are anxious to get hold of the "business
news" cf the town.
Vour attention is invited to what
the merchante have to say in this
Easter Dumber of the   Sentinei.
Last Saturday evening Miss Sarah
Randolph of Gilmore Twp. was united
j in marriage with Bruce Walker, son
of Thos. J. J.   Walker   of   this    city,
I Justice Thurston tying the knot.
They wil! remain here   for   a   short
1 time,   then   move   a few tniiea  north,
! wbere he will work a farm this summer. They have the best wishes of
friends for their happiness.

Wednesday of this week, Rev.

Outrageous.
The illinoia Steel Company maintains electric signs over each entrance to its yards tbat flash these
questions to ics 20.000 men aa they
leave tbeir work both noon and night:
"Did booze ever do yon any (rood"?
"Did booze ever get yon a better
job?" "Did booze ever coutribute-
anything to tbe happiness of yonr
family."
A. O. Fish owns a bouse in theweat
part of this city. He has been unfortunate in hie family relations and
his bome is broken up. Not finding
work in this city, he bas gone into
the country in an effort to make a
living. In bis absence, as we are informed, vaodais have broken into bis
boose, smashing farnitare. deliberately breaking all bis dishes, lamps,
etc. and carrying off some things.
Anyone guilty of such a performance
should be doing service for tbe
state.
Profitable  Socials.
Miss Amber Ln.sing who teaches
a' the Mi Kinlev had a box social
March 'Ji that netted Sla ' 0. One
previously heir] cleared Slo (lO, so
that the school bas s:S4 toward the
purchase of an organ. Miss Lansing
is to be congratulated on her success
and evidently the people of the district appreciate the effort she is making to procure something that wiil be
very serviceable for the school.
New Firm.
N. D. Gover, the hustling Loomis
merchant, has associated wjth him in
hia business his brother, Harry G.
Gover, for some time a teacher in
the the Bliss Alger college at Saginaw. The new firm will be known
as the "Gover Mercantile Co." and
there will doubtless be "something
doing" in new lines soon.
Words of George E. Ellis, mayor
of Grand Rapids, March SO. 1915, in
Grand Rapids Herald:
"The city of Grand Rapids by its
municipal water system is selling
water to its citizens cheaper than any
city of its class where a pumping system is used. The only city selling
cheaper is Reading, Pa , which has a
gravity service
To the voters ot Grand Rapids on
April 5, 1915; Shall the city own and
operate its own gas plant'.' Vote
"Yes." Signed   Geo. E. Ellis,
Mayor of Grand Rapids.
The citv of Clare should do likewise for city ownership of electric-
light plant.

Is municipal ownership a failure?

Citizens Committee.
The Ladies liiioii ou Friday of last
week met at the home of Mrs. Ter-
williger, Mrs. Dr. Majnard and Mrs.
Wm. H. Cole assisting the hostess in
entertaining. A goodly number were
present including members of tht
Guild who were invited guests. It
was the regular "Literary" meeting
and it was made a "Bird Dav." attair.
Mrs. Stone read a paper^showing tr.e
objects of the day and,wbat it might
accomplish. Mrs. Carl White had a
paper on the Useiuluess of the birds
to tbe fanner. It would seem indeed that there are ver\ few that are
not his friends. Mrs, E. A. White
discussed the matter at some length
and gave the information of which
we suspect lew are aware, that there
is a boys' organization here to feed
and protect the birds.
Instrumental music was furnished
by Prof. Peterson, Misses Hilda Bo-
gardus and Hallie Kump, aiso Ross
Thompson. At the close fine refreshments were served bj the hostesses.
New Laundry In Town.
Clare is again tbe possessor of a
laundry. Several bave made the attempt to run o:.e her- before, but
without great success.
The last bids fair to make the business go, as be has_ had something
like twelve >ears txperience in the
business, and is installing up-to-date
maeheriners thai wiil tern out work
as w. il as it can be done iu the city.
F. A Kelley is tne p oprietor, and
lie rails from West Branch, and was
formerly  located in Mt.   Pleasant.
The \\ ard Building formerly used
b_s the Michigan Produce Co. wiil
uouse the new firm.
Mr. Kelly promises to collect and
deliver all work so he will doubtless
enjoy a tine patronage at once.
Almost A Runaway.
Mrs. Elisha White.
On arch 31, occurred the death
of Mrs. Elisba White, who has been
a great sufferer for tbe past two
years.    Tbe obituary will appear later.
A little excitement was created on
tbe street last Friday afternoon when
a horse driven by Mrs. F. S. Weaver
from tbe Brown neighborhood got
frightened by an engine and tried to
run down Fourth  St.
As soon as   the   animal  discovered
tbat it was not pursued,   it   suddenly
' noticed that tbe speed  limit   was   be-
I ing exceeded, so a halt   was   ordered
. for a renewal of the  oxygen   supply.

fol lowing,   and    b-
and at the same election a full sec   of
sta'.i    cliicers   were   chosen,    to    act
under the  constitution.      In   November   following,   the   legislature    met,
and the whole machinery   of   a   state
government     was     s<t     in    motion.
Stephens   T.  Mason, secretary cf the
territory, and acting   governor   after
the   death   of   Governor   Porter, was
the governor elect ior lb-  new state.
But at tbis point   occurs   a   halt   in
the proceedings,      Ohio had  raised a
question of tic   location of her northern boundary, whicb of course would
fo-m the southern boundary  ol Michigan.      This   question,   must   now   be-
. settled before  Michigan  could be admitted.
The territory   of  Michigan claimed
' for her southern bour.darv a line run-
; ning east across   the   peninsula   from
the extreme southern point   ot   Lake
! Michigan, extending to the   Pennsyl-
! vania line.      She   claimed   this   as   a
I vested right, accruing to her by compact, namely th"   ordinance   of  17ST,
and   subsequent   recognition   by official acts.     Ohio   on   the   otner hand
claimed   that   the   ordinance   of   17s7
Lad been s-jsp. ipjed 0..    the constitution ot the   I dined   States,   and   that
-congress   had   the   power   to  change
the boundary .      It    was   also claimed
that   Ohio   by    her   constitution,  had
desnoed   a ditiereiit   boundary from
that   of   Michigan,   which   bad   beta
recognized   by   the   act of admission
as a state.
Both   claims   were   airly   argued in
congress and the committee tc  whom
they   were   referred    decided   unanimously in favor of the claim of Michigan, but in the nurry of  other   business   no   action   was  then   taken   by
congress, and   tbe question reaimned
; open   till   Michigan    organized     her
1 state government.      The  territory   in
dispute waa five miles in width at the
: west  end,   eight   miles  wide  at   the
eastern   end   and    sixty   miles   long.
i Michigan had had   her line   surveyed
j by James Fulton, who was  a   compe-
! tent   surveyor,    and    Ohio    had   em-
| ployed a man whose came was   Harris to survey her line,   so   they   were
called respectively   the "Fulton" and
the " Harris" lines.
The resulting Toledo war and how
the dispute wa- tinaily a.:...sled, wili
be told in next article.
Fords By 1 lie Dozen.
I. K. Hampton, agent for the F'ord
car. drove through Irom Detroit two
weeks .11:0 with six new cars, his
first co.isignmeut of the 1H1'> mooeis
Monday he received six more by
I freight, the first lot ha\ing been disposed ot in a hurry.
The Ford seems to retain its popularity as the right car for the ordinary man. And the demand for
tbem is as good here as anywhere,
judging by the frequent sales.
Work at the garage is expected to
start up soon. Tuff Hampton, who
took a course in vulcanizing at Detroit this winter, will look after that
end of the business.
