Thief ROBBED THE PRINT SHOP
Printer Sleeps in Messenger Office and
Steals Tools Worth $50
Property Recovered.

The Messenger was touched off early
Monday morning for about thirty dol
lars worth of printing material, includ-
ing numbering machine, couple of
composing sticks, some steel compos-
ing rules etc. A tramp printer named
Hodge was the culprit. Hodge had
been in the employ of the Messenger
before and last Sunday morning routed
the editor out of bed in the morning
and reciting tale of woe, asked for
the key to the office that he might come
down and cook little something to
eat. He was given the key and the
bum print enjoyed himself all day SUM-
day reading over the exchanges and
passing away the time. He was told
that the next morning he would be CIV
en- work enough to pay his way out of
town. Monday morning Hodge was
gonfaed yith('im the certain valuable

was not ee l5Nsd until late in the after
noon and he, necessarily got late start.
The hobot vas traced to Plymouth,
from Plymouth to Monroe, thence to
Toledo, back to Detroit, across to Wind
sor and there it was learned that he
had taken train to the interior of Can
ada, he having been informed that the
officers were on his trail.
Powers returned home, but not empty
handed. He recovered the bulk of the
booty when he picked up the number
ing machine in Monroe printing office
Powers tracing of the man was clev-
er piece of detective work and he not
only found the places where the thief
had been but he found the places where
he tried to sell the different tools.
Deputy Sheriff Powers has been as
sured by the Toledo police that Hodge
will soon be taken into custody. Toledo
seems to be his hang-out and the de-
tectives say there that as soon as he
makes his appearance in that village
that he will be sent back to Clio.
Hodge is described as a man about 80
years of age, sandy complexion, weight
about l25 pounds, short, slightly stopped
and having gray hair and sandy mus
tache tinged with gray. He wore a
brown suit of clothes, black slouch hat,
black shoes and wore glasses when at
work. He was cigarette .fend. His
home is given as WILLIAMSON, Mich.

Mr.. Hurd is one of these quiet men
who make friends quickly by their clean
methods of conducting campaign and
the effect of his canvass can already be
seen in the surprisingly large number
Of men one meets who say their vote is
going for the Dawson man. In busi-
ness for himself, Mr.. Hurd has always
been successful and the interest he
shows when in the employ of others is
evidenced by the fact that he was for
seventeen years in the employ of one
drug house in the capacity of travelling
,salssmsn.- '~t---<..-t--Y. ks'
At present the prospective register
of deeds is working his farm near
Dawson.
In his several trips to this village
Mr.. Hurd has impressed many as a
man who if elected to the Office to
which he aspires would not only make a
good official for the county, but most
excellent one. A large number of the
business men of this village are with
Mr.. Hurd.

WARNER SPEAKS OF ISSUES
Governor With Pat Kelley Talk to Good
Sized Crowd Here last
Friday.

A good crowd turned out to greet
Governor Warner and Lieut.. Gov. Pat
Kelly last Friday morning and the gov
ernor's party made friends and votes in
the village if the way the people fell
over themselves to get campaign but
tons is any indication of the way the
wind blows.
The governor spent most of his time
in showing up the things that had been
accomplished in the past few years and
pointed out many reforms that were
still incomplete which he wished to be
given the chance to push completion.
He reviewed the work of passing such
bills as the ones creating the binder
Irvine plant at Jackson, creating rail-
road commission, securing two-cent
rates on the railroads, and securing a
better primary election law.
One of the things that Mr.. Warner
wants done further is the securing of a
law making registration of lobbyists
compulsory. Warner argued that the
only thing that was urged against him
by his opponents was the fact that he
wanted third term.
Pat Kelly's remarks consisted of an
arrangement Of the class opposed to
Warner and said that these men repre-
sented the corporate interests whom
Warner had tnrned down in his admin
istration. The party appeared before
large crowds in Mt. Morris and Mont
rose and were enthusiastically received
at both places.

CARE OF SHEEP IN SUMMER
Give Plenty of Salt-Dwarf Essea Rape
Sowed in Corn, Other
Pointers.

Most flock owners keep their sheep
shut in lots away from the barn and
think if salted every week that is
enough. I always thought thus until
establishing flock of Lincolns (from
imported stock), which were too valu-
able to leave where hungry cur could
help himself; so l allowed them to come
to the sheep house nightly, where
kept box with salt and either stock
food or blood meal mixed at all times.
Not night but part or all of the sheep
would go and eat a little salt. The
amount used in week would be more
than double what l would dare give
them if salted but once week. Blood
meal smells quite rank, and sheep are
very dainty creatures. l had my doubt
about them eating it; but they did eat
it, to the manifest improvement of the
whole flock. While have never been
an advocate of stock food, still, with
my experience, I think judiciously fed
it helps keep the flock healthy. /
would use equal parts of saft-and stock
food and keep it before the flock at all
times.
Another essential thing is to keep the
sheep trimmed so they cannot foul
themselves, and there is no fear of blow
flies.
At the last cultivation of the corn we
sow dwarf Essex rape seed, about four
pounds to the acre (this year we are
sowing fourty pounds) and by the time
the corn is off the ground the rape is
knee deep of the most lucious food we
can give sheep. Of course, the flock
master who is alive to his interest will
dip his sheep and keep them clean from
vermin. The lambs should have creep
by which they have access to trough
holding grain, which they will soon
learn to eat. 1t is a pleasure to see
them rush for the trough at night, and
grow is no name for the way they
swell and put on fiesh.-H. A. Daniels
