BASKET BEL
Girls
Girls Team Defeated By
- From Midland.
i        .—
Last Friday night the girls basket
ball team of the high school played
their first real game when they met
the five from Midland. Our girls,
individually and as a team, played
well considering their inexperience.
In fact, they played pretty well without any considering. They made as
many field baskets as Midland and
were beaten by three extra baskets
thrown from fouls. The home players were inclined to get over the line
and to use both bands in guarding,
offenses due to excitement and over
anxiety and which will be cured by
experience in regular games. The
particular stars on the Olare team
were Beulah Johnson, forward, and
Nellie Jackson, guard. The game
drew the largest crowd that has yet
attended a game here. Evidently
many people are awaking to the fact
that basket ball is a good game. The
boys team and the second team
played a curtain raiser, to the girls
game.

Wednesday evening the \K. of P.
lodge gave a hard time party. You
know what a hard time party is.
Sure. You discard your glad raiment and see what you can find in
the attio by »way of ancient apparel.
And some attics saem to be well provided. The crowd that gathered in
Duncan's hall looked like a convention of the ancient order of hoboes.
If any prizes had been given they
must have gone to "Sary" Doherty
with tbe faded blue dress, picture
hat and Sis Hopkins ways, and to
"Ole" Anderson with his cant hook
from Swanson's Camp No, 3. There
was an unusually large attendance
at the party. Stickle's orchestra
furnished tbe music. If a philosopher had been present he might
have come to some valuable conclusions regarding the relation between fussing over clothes and having a good time.

On Tuesday afternoon, January
30th, the Kaykakee Club was entertained by Mrs. Clyde Harris at the
home of T. B. Hirt.
We are universal enough in our
thought to wish that each person in
Olare so wishing could have been
present with us.
The members present answered to
their names at roll call with still
more instructive quotations from
our Michigan History. It is surprising the many things of state history
that we are gathering into the mental storehouse in this way. We also
had many current events of interest
and discussed them though briefly.
Our study for the day's program began about the_ year 1848. The firBt
paper was the' Conquest of California and Gold Discovery by Mrs.
Clyde Harris.
The second paper was a comparison of California Then and Now by
Mrs. E. A. White; and, added to this
paper, was lots of interesting and
valuable information about California from Mrs. E. G. Welch. Mrs.
White also read many mirth-provoking, funny epigrams on the people
way back east from the Los Angeles
Times. We belidve this to be the
largest paper in the U, S.
The, third and last paper was
Mormonism and Mountain Meadow
Massacre by Mrs. Waller. After
some discussion of this paper, lawyer C. W. Perry "who was present
and trying to keep still, upon request
began with an appropriate story
where we left off and for nearly one
hour talked to us about his trip to
Salt Lake Oity. He told us much I
about the habits, tastes, customs and
industry of cthe Mormons, claiming
for them many virtues which we in
papers and discussions had not credited them with. This talk was most
instructive and was much appreciated by alLpresent at this time. Mr.
George Collins was announced and
sang to us a solo, "Shadows," accompanied by Miss Laila Wilson.
In response to encore.they gave us
"Irish eyes from .Ireland." The
club then gave a rising vote'of thanks
to those had so kindly helped them
to enjoy such a pleasant afternoon.
The visitors were Mrs. Dr. Roe,
Mrs. Wm. H. Caple, Mrs. Lee Dun-
woodie, Miss Emma Sexsmith, Mrs.
A. Rogers and MrB. T. B. Hirt.
In the preceding club article we
overlooked mentioning the reading
of a letter at that meeting from Mrs.
E. G. Welch of Los Angeles, Calif.
Mrs. Welch was one of our number
last year, and a number missed by us
all; but she does not forget us.

[/ The A. A. I Club of South Sheri
dan was entertained at the home, of
Mr. and Mrs. 0. B. Herriek, January
27th.
A very enjoyable evening was
spent. A business meeting was held
and then ganVes and music were enjoyed. An oyster supper was seryed
by negro waiters during whidh the
mjnistrel band  furnished music.
At an early hour the guests departed feeling very happy over the good
time which they had all had.
In t"he near 'future the Club intends
to give a" very  good    home  talent
Tjbe next meeting will be held with
Mis*s Martha Larson.
A. meeting of the Republican
County Committee was held in this
city on Wednesdaay, The short
notice of the meeting and the long
distance away prevented the attendance of a few members, but a
large majority were present and much
.enthusiasm manifested. A considerable number of prominent Republicans from various sections of the
county were also in attendance. Co.
Clerk Francis M. Morrissey offered
the following "resolution which was
unanimously adopted: "Whereas,
recognizing the eminent worth and
fitness of our distinguished fellow
citizen, Dennis E. Ahvard, be* it
Resolved: That we urgently request
him to permit tbe use of his name as
a candidate for Representative in
Congress from this, the 11th; Congressional District, pledging him our
united .and hearty support at the
Primary and'at the , polls when he
shall have been nominated, and
cordially commending biin to the
voters of the district'as one who will
ably and faithfully represent them in
the halls of Congress."
Mr. Alward appeared before tbe
meeting, escorted by a committee
which had been ^appointed for that
purpose, and feelingly thanked the
committee and all present for the
action taken. If nothing further
should be done and the matter stop
simply with this expression of confidence from bis neighbors, from
those who knew him best, he would
regard it as the proudest moment of
his life. Brief remarks were made
by a majority of those present, all
declaring the belief that the time is
now opportune for Olare county to
present a|J candidate for Representative, and that the outlook for
success is most excellent. Chas.
Graham of Ithaca, a traveling salesman, chanced to be present, and being called upon stated his belief that
Mr. Alward's candidacy would be
very favorably received in Gratiot
countyX s-^*
As organization is the first requisite of any successfull campaign,
it was decided to organize an "Alward Club" with a central organization and a committee of three in
each township, composed of the
township member of the county
•committee and two others to be
selected. The following officers of!
the club were then chosen:
President, J. F. Bowler.

THE PRIMARY EBBOLuHEIff.
Much Interest Taken     Socialist
Gain Astonishing.
Contrary we thiult to the general
opinion, much interest seems to have
been taken in tbe enrollment, considering tbe short notice given of the
matter. Probably more interest will
betaken in the coming campaign than
any previous one. The great mass
of the voters are reading and -thinking as never before, One of the
astonishing things is the number of
Socialist voters enrolled. When this
number exceeds that of either of the
old parties, it begins to look as
though some one would have to sit
up and take notice. In this eity 158
enrolled out of a total of probably^365,
the Republican enrollment being
doable that of the Democratic.
The enrollment in this city and
some of the near by townships is as
follows:
GLEANER RALLY
February 29 To  Be Red Letter
Day In Clare.
"There will.be a hot time in the
old town tonight," is the way the
song runs, but this will not be altogether in the night but partly in
broad daylight. However, there
will be a hot time all right if the
weather is not too cold, and Gleaners
will doubtless be thicker than fleas
in California All Arbors are invited
to help with the program, and everybody else can come and see what a
fine bunch these Gleaners are. The
Vernon Bachelor Band Will discourse its sweetest music in tbe afternoon, and some of the best vocal and
instrumental talent in the county
will be on the program. In the afternoon there will be speaking and the
Hobson Arbor degree team, composed of gentlemen, will give the
first degree work, while in the eyen-
Ing the Vernon Arbor lady degree
team will give the second and show
that when it comes to conferring degrees, men are not in it at all. Any
Gleaner who willfully, maliciously
and with malice aforethought stays
at home, will certainly miss the
time of his life.

O. O.Bothwell, Who boughtthe Wm.

lives at Crown Point, Ind., lost his
house and contents at Crown Point
by fire one night last week. After
the family had retired for the night
the Trerosene stove exploded and
when the fire was discovered it was
uncer such headway that the occupants had to get out as quickly as
thev could, some of them in their
night clothes. $1000 insurance partially covers the loss. '   •

"Found at last." That is the way
Will Lange told the story last week
concerning' the young man he had to
look after the cobbling end of the
Lange shoe store. But the young
man aforesaid is not found at his
last any more, at least not in Clare.
Prosperity is more than some people
can endure. Though Mr. and Mrs.
Cooiey were kindly giving him
a home and his employer is filled
with the milk of human kindness,
he could not stand it and a "tie
pass" toward Saginaw seemed the
thing. Even our excellent Industrial School, at Lansing cannot change
the nature of all boys.
