ON CITY
Arrangements   Are  Being
Made ior District Meeting to be Held Here
> in April.
«i The Clare Study Club met in regular
session Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. McG-uire. , The program
topie was city affairs and the club was
addressed by Attorney T. Carl Holbrook. Interesting information re-
' - garding Clare's standing as a city al-
ao l'egarding taxation called out considerable discussion.
"Wenvill cease to be a democracy
when the enfranchised citizenry refuse to interest themselves in the affairs of the government and leave
this great-network of legal machinery
to knaves and pretenders," was the
statement made by Prosecuting Attorney T. Carl Holbrook,
The speaker said that the general
opinion of politics was tbat it was a
means by which men sought and were
elected to office" without .consideration
as to their qualifications, but the fact
is, that politics is the science of government and is very vital to the ex-
'        istence of a democracy.   He urged the
women to exercise the right of franchise, and to interest themselves in
the affairs   of   city   government  ,by
\. studying the" needs of the community,
... (     >and In every way lending their    in-.
L~^* .fluence and support in selecting the
very best persons fn the x;ity to hold
the elective offices.
Mr. Holbrook pointed out the fact
that a city is the highest class of
municipal corporation^, having extensile municipal powers required by
the presence of a large population. He
enumerated the various officers, their
••duties, and power, stressed the powers
of the city council and the necessity
of having at all times men' of past experience and business ability for such
work. In his opinion, ■ the Board of
Public Works was a, vital part of city
government and should never be dispensed with,
Much valuable information was re-
: ceived at this meeting as to taxation,
the institution of the public school,
and the powers and authorizations of
the city as a municipal corporation.
Some; interesting items of history
•were given by Mr. Holbrook In which
it appears that Glare was first in-*
corporated as a village In 1879, and
^ was made- a city_ in 1891, and Hon. C.
W, Perry was the first mayor. The
charter was amended' in 1893, and it
was re-incorporated as a fourth class
city in 1901." Messrs Perry and
Sutherland^ are. the only 'members of
.the first city council who are still
residents of our city. .     „ ■  .■   .
Growth of any city, as of any project in which people are interested as
va body, depends upon organization.
Women have not been at all swift or
. ready to accept the responsibilities to
which the franchise has led them but
some of us are of the opinion that
xinder a proper leader we might
organize.
Mrs. Mater gave as a current tof>ic
the fact that the Capper   bill   which
calls for federal laws on the subject
, of- divorce is now before Congress. It
jTTias met with so'me opposition on the
/^^ground that   it   will   interfere . witb
State rights but the General Federation of Women's Clubs is in favor ot
passing such a law.
.,_       Mrs.  Elton Allen is  Chairman    ot
.     arrangements for   the' entertainment,
■  April 19 and 20 of the Northeastern
district of the State Federation.   She
" announced the names of her committees and urged that we live up to our
reputation for hospitality.
Club meets March 20th at the h&ne
of Mrs, Hampton.
SAY IT WITH BRAKES
A state-wide brake test, at the beginning of the spring season, is proposed. Heretofore brake testing: -has
been carried on by counties, and even
that in some sort of haphazard, hit-
arid-miss plan. One motorist in every
four is-driving with defective brakes,
1 according to those engaged in con-
-"TTJucting tests. Brake tests cannot be
conducted every month in every
county in the state, nor even every
two or three months. It is therefore
up to the individual motorist to see
that his brakes are in perfect working condition at all times. Defective
brakes not only endanger the motorist
himself, but are a menace to the lives
and property of others. Every driver
knows when his brakes^ are not working properly—to neglect them Is
'"~" criminal on his part. Moral: Don't
put it off another day.    .

ONEERBIES
MARCH FIRST
John McLaughlin Came to
Homestead When Four-
teen Years oi Age-«-
First Settlers
' The calling of John McLaughlin
from Vernon township takes its oldest settler, who came to'the present
home with his parents in 186,6, several
other families moving In the community later the same year. Clare was
unknown and the only settlement of
Mt, Pleasant was at that part'commonly called Dogtownt which was
then known as Indian Mills because
Of the grist mill located' there.
The death of this pioneer.was hastened by a fall upon the ice several
weeks previous which occurred at
the home' which was shared by his
son, Bert and family. .     o"
John McLaughlin was born in-
Brighton, Michigan, December 6th,
1852 and departed this life at the age
of seventy-five years, two months and
twenty-three days. Coming to Vernon
when he was fourteen and later was
united in marriage to Miss Flora
Sweet and after her death in 1882, lie-
married Miss Mary Duncan, who preceded him in death twenty-one years.;
He is survived by two sons, Bert, of
Vernon, and Emery, an instructor in
Detroit schools, seven -grandchildren
and other relatives-and friends.
Services were held from0 the home
Sunday afternoon with Rev.,„H, B
Johnson officiating and interment
made in Cherry Grove cemetery.
Melvin, the fifteen yead old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Stevens, narrowly escaped serious, and ""perhaps fatal
Injury Sunday afternoon, when an
emery wheel that he- and Clarence
Hpi-ning, a playmate, had attached to
an electric motor, broke and struck
him on the cheek bone, cutting a gash
Which, required five stitches to close.
' ;The boys had repaired an' old
electric sweeper motor and haying
plugged hi on the electric. lighting
current, were watching the whirling
motor shaft, when the suggestion was
made that some machine be attached.
The lads found a, discarded emery
Wheel about eight ijicljes in diameter,
and attaching it to the shaft, attempted to hold the motor in place oft the
table. When the motor had attained
to-its full spsed, the wheel brolce in
several pieces and one struck the lad
on the cheek. Another piece made "a
hole in'the ceiling and' the third one
hit the piano. It was fortunate that
it did not hit the lad's eye or on the
temple.
Melvin has had a series of accidents
during the past three years, as he has
had an operation for appendicitis, was
in the hospital for Several weeks as
the result of a splintered bone in his
arm and about^'year agp he shot
litaiself as he was cleaning a twenty-
two calibre rifle,"
SISTERS LOSE HOMES
BY FIRE RECENTLY
Mother Saves  Family of   Ten
From Burning Building at
Four O'clock in the
~ Morning.
Saturday morning, February 25th,
about four o'clock fire destroyed tbe
residence occupied by Mr and Mrs.
Frank Sheahan, living four and one:
half miles northwest of Mt. Pleasant.
The mother was alone with ten children and was only able to save a few
articles of furniture after making sure
that her family was safe, A little lad
age five years, thinly clad, remembered putting a dollar bill'on the clock
shelf and returned to the burning
building and secured the treasure
with safety. The lqss was estimated
at about $1000. , The father was at
their new home recently purchased
near Gladwin, where they expected to
•move' soon.'
At nine o'clock the same morning
the home- of Mr. -and Mrs. A, M.
Youngs, of Coleman, was destroyed
by fire. Everything on tlie first lloor
was saved. Due to the. extreme cold
weather the water hydrant and chemicals were froze delaying the fire department of that village in giving
their usual service. ,      *
The peculiar part of these two instances is that the ladies are sisters,
formerly Misses Belle and Kate Sutton, daughters of T.., A. Sutton of
Grant township, and both were unaware of the others misfortune.
THE OPEN SEASON IS NEAR
The time of year" is nearing, when
the week-end- death tolls will again
occupy large headlines on Monday.-lt.
will again be the same old story of" an
automobile that happened to meet at
the same time on a railroad crossing
with a train. .*""
Crossing accidents happen, of
bourse, In the" winter months, but the
greater, portion happen on week-ends
when motorists take advantage of
good weather and good roads.
Sunday is getting to be a day of
dread for locomotive engineers, according to a veteran engineer, H. D.
Howard, who recently addressed * a
convention of National Road Builders.      ,, *'
He states that many engineers are
refusing to work on Sunday in fear
that a careless taiotorist will disregard
signals and drive -into the path of
their train.
Howard* advocates the law recently
adopted by the Illinois legislature
which makes it compulsory for motorists to bring their cars to a complete
stop at all railroad crossings.
"The look of horror on a motorist's
face as he finds his machine stalled
on tho crossing can not be compared
with the feelings of the engineer as
lie sees the imminent crash," Howard
said. "The careless driver who gets
himself killed at a crossing, not only
endangers the lives of hundreds of
persons ori the train,., but also: is a
detriment to the welfare of the
country."

MICHIGAN PROTECTS
BUYERS OF PLANTS
State Befuses to Pass Nursery Stock in 342 Berry
• Patches.
Two. Glare   County   Growers'
-Patches-Certified...
Thousands of questionable berry
plants, perhaps millions,' will be kept
off the market this year as a result
df the state's refusal in 1927 to pass
342 raspberry patches as the source"
of clean nursery stock.     • - *
These plantations .were widely scattered over the state and had their
owners gained permission t^, sell
plants from "their patches, degenerar
tive virus diseases would have been
attributed widely aver the-state this
season. Under the nursery inspec-_
tion laws, a plantation must pass two
state inspections ' before the plants
can be certified,   r    •
• "Michigan berry~"plants are going
to be of exceptionally ~ high quality
this season," said E. C. Mandeuberg,
chief of -orchard and nursery inspection in the state department of agri-*
culture.
Since Michigan inaugurated its
present nursery inspection . service,
this state has gained a national 'reputation as the'source of "clean" berry
plants. Its inspection system was
pronounced among the best at a conference of entomologists and plant
pathologist's from a dozen or more
states in Benton Harbor last summer.
Mr. Mandenoerg's annual report is
evidence that the inspection service
has been efficient. It shows that-
1,293 raspberry patches passed two
inspections and were issued certificates; that 37, plantations passed
two inspections' but their certificates
are being held up pending the payment of fees, and that 92 patches passed "first inspection but owners declined^ second inspection. *
Clare county nas two growers with
plantations which were passed and
certified " and have received much
praise in the State Department of
Agriculture. Those are Frank Koep-
linger, df Farwell and John White &
Son, of Clare, both holding regular
nursery certificates, Nbs. 3776 and
3777 respectively.
During the year the state inspected
'5,588 acres of nursery stock. The
average into raspberries totalled
2,808. The bureau also inspected
Christmas trees in 94 swamps and
made 787 inspections of Yule trees at
destinations.
Permits to sell nursery sto.ck. were
issued to 2,275 persons. There were
554 nurseries and plant growers
licensed to do business in Michigan.
Licenses also were issued to 140 dealers in nursery stock. Eigihty-one out-
oii-state nurseries obtained licenses to
sell their products in Michigan,

Clare high school won the Class C
championship in the district basketball tournament at Alma last week,
and with'it the right to enter the regional tournament, which is being held
at_the Central State Teachers College
at Mt. Pleasant this week, by decisive
victories over the Shepherd, Ithaca

The game with Shepherd on Thursday night was an easy one and all of
the second team -players and substi:
tiites were given an* opportunity to
get Into the gatoe. The final score
was 26 to 5. -
The Ithaca game was somewhat
faster, but the teamwork of the Clare ,
quintet was too much for their opponents, and with a good lead at the"
end of the first half, Coach Aldread
began .using his substitute players and
the game ended 33 to 10 in Clare's
favor.
Edmore had reached the finals after defeating St. Louis, and they were
determine^, to win over Clare. Coach
Aldread's men did not^get started
well in tSe first quarter and'the period *
ended 7 to 3 in favor of the Edmore
lads, but at the sound of the whistle
in the beginning of the second quarter, Clare went into the play, arid
from that time on there was no question as to the ultimate result, the sec- '
ond half ending with Clare on the
long end of a 15 to 10 score and the
final count being 28 to 15.
The banner which was awarded to
the Clare team is on display, in Davys'
