held here, We have no doubt tbat
the request of the mayor will be
cheerfully complied with and business places be closed during the
afternoon, As \ will be seen, the

program and that is always an interesting feature- Mr. Ourrlehas made
an enviable record as Speaker of

Swat the Rooster.
We hear much about swatting the '•

Helme is leaving that branch of the
business to the Health Department
" proper while  ha calls  attention to
another plase of the subject.    When
warm  weather appears  "strictly
fresh" eggs are not  so  common  as
many  deople  suppose.     One  good
hot day in summer or being covered
12 hours by a hen wii} start the egg
on the road to rottonnees, provided
it is a fertle one, and here comes in
the. point which farmers generally
entirely overlook, that it is only the
fertile eggs that quickly spoil. Hence
the sensible suggestion is made that
as  soon  as  the  hatching season is
through, say by the middle of June,
the old rooster should, promptly be
turned into a pot pie or sold  to  the
resortqrs for a spring chicken,   Any-
. way get rid of him  some  way.    To
, sell rotton eggs is a violation of the
pure  food  laws as much as tbe sale
oi rotton meat.   Swat the rooster.

The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowerB
Alike tor friend and the foe.

Under the roBes the Blue,

The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch impartially tender,

Broidered with gold, the Blue,
Mellowed with gold, the Gray,

On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain.

Waiting tbe judgment day;
Wet with the rain, the Blue,

Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm  of the years that

No braver battle was won.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue,

No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They banish our anger forever.

dead.

Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.

Mayor's Proclamation.
of
to
Much indignation and surprise is
expressed by many of our citizens
over the action taken by our village
council last Monday night. In spite
of the fact that a petition signed by
a majority of the voters and about
eighty .mothers of our community
asking that all pool rooms be prohibited in our village, the council by
a majority' of one voted down such
an ordinance and substituted an ordinance to regulate which provides
no fine for its violation, and is certainly not a source of pride to many
of our people.
All honor to trustees J, L. Littld-

Every true American is proud

possible.    The    old   Veterans   are
rapidly becoming fewer.    Each succeeding year finds their ranks still
farther depleted, and not long   can
we have the privilege of honoring
them  while with   us.   All can well
afford to lay aside business cares for
a few hours and join in this effort to
dedicate one day to a most worthy.

Clean Up The Cemetery.
We are requested to say that a
committee of Veterans will be at the
Vernon cemetery on Wednesday,
May 28th, at 10 a, m, to look .after
the graves of comrades there and
they urgently urge the people to
meet there at that time to assist in
cleaning up and beautifying the
cemetery.    > .
Whether the Gettysburg veterns* in
this state will have the privilege of
attending the reunion there this summer, seems yet to be in the air. The
legislature appropriated $20,000 to
pay railroad fare, but it seems roads
refuse to make as low rates as expected and tbe amount is insufficient.
Already more have applied than can
be taken with the appropriation. Of
course no discrimination can be
shown. Unless money is raised
private subscription, it looks
though none could go.

This troupe of entertainers will
appear at the Methodist church Wednesday evening, May 28, under the
auspices of tbe High School Athletic
Association. This is a high clajSs
entertainment in every respect and
ordinarily would be beyond the
reach of cities the size of Clare.

dates, and hasty arrangements had
to be made elsewhere. This explains their appearance here,

One of the prettiest home weddings
of the season was that of Miss Stella
May Bums, of Long Beach, and Roy
Blain, formerly of Clare,' Michigan,
which was consummated Saturday
evening, at the home of the bridegroom's father, Frank Blain, 528
Washington avenue, this city,
Rev. Bonnie O. Johnson, pastor of
the Free Methodist church, officiated,
speaking the sweetly solemn words
which bound the two young people
for better or for worse.
Tbe bride looked lovely. She was
gowned in a beautiful travelling costume of navy blue velvet, and carried a lovely bouquet of "bride's bouquet" roses, with a chaplet of orange
blossoms, of which there are so many,
now in every orange grove.
The young people met in Long
Beach, the home of tbe bride, six
months ago, and this acquaintance
soon ripened into a stronger feeling,
which found its culmination in the
ceremony Saturday evening.
The bridegroom is a very estimable
young man, and is employed as an
engineer by a construction company
in Long Beach.
Tbe young f eople were tbe recipients of many costly and beautiful
presents, conspicuous among which
was the glitter of silverware and
sheen of costly china.
Very few outside tbe immediate relatives were present, the guests from
out of town being Ed Burns of Long
Beach, father of the bride, and MiBB
Beulah Van Delinder, of Los Angeles,
the bridesmaid. Mr. and Mrs..Frank
Blain and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ar-
rand of Santa Ana were also present.
The home was beautifully decorated with a lavish display of carnations, roses and ferns, A four-course
dinner was served, after congratulations.
' Tbe young couple started on a
honeymoon trip at the conclusion of
tbe dinner. This trip will be of two
weeks' duration, and will be spent
at various places including some of
the beaches.
They will be at home after Jnne 1,
in a pretty bungalow, 528 West
Broadway, Long Beach.—Santa Ana,

INTERESTING SERVICE.
Bishop McCormick   Confirmed;

It is generally conceded that the .
Episcopal church is a church for the
city people, but she is winning her
way in the country districts.
■The church ip Clare may well fee!
gratified with the lively interest
sbown^during the past year. '.A class-

Hubel, Irene SiJvertborn, STfna Johnston, Hazel LaPierre, Clara LaPierre,.
keel Northrop, Mrs. Arthur Schoon-
over and Mrs. Will Adams.
Bishop McCormick is an able
speaker, but as his time was limited,
he devoted what time he had to tbe
class and gave them valuable instruction, leaving a very favorable
impression, as he is a man who can
be approached and has a pleasing:
personality,

J   Lewis % Mead vs. John McMutlen,
It seems to be a custom with the
Flinch Olub to take note of marriage
anniversaries among its members.
In accordance with this idea, they
made a descent on the home of Mr.
and Mrs. H. O. Oudney on Monday
evening. It seems they were "off"
on date slightly, being a day or two
late; but perhaps that was more
than compensated for in the fact
that it was the 25th, the silver anniversary. The Olub seems to have
been out in full force and a very enjoyable time had. Of course lunch
Was served. A Bilver soup ladle was
left as a memento of the occasion.
Great Success.

The Mother's Day exercises at the
Congregational church on Sunday
were fine and much appreciated we
think by the large audience present.
The church was beautifully decorated with a profusion of potted plants,
the music fine and the exercises
throughout excellent.'
Memorial Exercises.
We are directed by the Veterans to
announce that lunien Memorial services will be held at the Congregational church on next Sunday, May
25tb, at 10 a. m.
BEV. I. WILBUR KNIGHT,   PASTOB.
The revival meetings have been*,
well attended and very interesting.
Already 24 have publicly expressed
themselves as willing to give their
lives to ChriBt and the interest continues.
Evangelist Erskine,is a young man
—a native of the Emerald Isle—and
while possessed of the keen sense of
humor characterizing the Irish "people, hisparamount aim is to-
bring men and women to what he
terms "the knowledge of sin forgiven." His life is clean, his manner
intensely earnest and he has a comprehensive knowledge and reverence
for the Bible. He Is a fearless,
preacher of righteousness, not hesitating to strike sin in any form and
he has a most unique and original'
way of pointing-out forms. The
hypocritical professor is wise to stay
at home, if he wishes to continue
his double life; but it would be wiser
in our judgment to let this gifted servant of God point him to the way
that ends with Christ and his kingdom.
