ANENT CLOS PLAYGROUND

Charles May, of Clio, is a philan-
Ethropist. | do not know of any
great sums he has donated to this
or that university, this or that mis-
sionary society Nor has he init
ated nor caused to be initiated any
legislation against bachelors, nor
taxation upon spinsters. No, he has
done none of these things. And yet
| maintain that Chas. May of Clio
is philanthropist. | see the query
on your face; "Why?" Simply
Mr.. May could not bear the sight
of certain lot of his remaining
vacant. II is an Irregular weedy
patch located between the bank and
the ice cream and kerosene store,
not far from the heart (pardon a
metropolitan eXpressiom of Clio.
Mr.. May conceived the idea of turn
ing this lot into a playground, to
turn ii over to the unlimited domin-
ion of the Clos budding citizens.
What greater philanthropy do you
want?
Don't let me mislead you by the
term playground" | know it calls
up in your mind whole troop of
apparatus for the toughening of the
Understanding track, vaulting
poles, hurdling jacks, swimming
pool, tennis courts, mounds of sand,
tam.tems, nursing bottles, and a
quick-legged, chesty director. No,
| say, drop these images. For Clos
playground is different. 1t has in
ii nothing but teter-totter and
swing dangling from a tall maple.
Said swing and teeter-totter were
installed at Mr.. Mays expense.
For ten minutes | watched two
little boys balancing themselves on
their stomachs at the opposite ends
of the teeter-tattcr. Their legs hung
down like those of a frog that has
stopped his movements for a spell
in the water. What hard stomachs
these little fellows must havei But
that's how they get such tough lit
tie bodies-the chance to play on
commoun ground, and something to
play with.
The editor Of Clos Messenger
has the front window of his den
directly in front Of this playground.
II is there that he swivels on his
chair and marvels al the strange
contortions of the youngsters. What
particularly strikes his editorial
curiosity and puts him into more
than ordinary philosophizing mood
is the sight of buxom village girl
of eighteen mounting the rough
plank of the swing, and her strain
ing movements to "get up speed"
Then she allows her feet to dangle
loosely, displaying neat ankle.
The editor looks with an eye of pity |
and shakes his head at these strange
follics of man.-From "The Arrow,

Clio VS.. Film [.

Saturday a Flint team came up
and took the home aggregation to
camp after hard fought ten inning
hattie that belonged to no one until
the last minute. The local BOYS
should have won the game as their
playing showed up generally better
than that of the visitors but little
misjudgement in the tenth threw the
victory away. Manchester twirled
like a professional pulling the team
out of several holes, and keeping his
head at all times. For an amateur,
he is there with the stuff and his
friends are watching for him to
make some name in the base ball
world, if he continues to follow up
the game.
The Flint boys started with lead
but the locals tied the score in the
fifth making it 6 and where it re-
mained until the tenth when Flint
got two runs on overthrows and err
rOrS.
The visitors tried to bluff the
"ump'-Eagan-in the ninth but he
stuck and just as he was about to
award the game to Clio by a 8 to 0
score the fault finders thought bet
ter of their actions and returned to
the field.

WITH THE BOYS ON THE DIA-
MOND.
Clio VS.. Burt.

The Clio Base Ball team engaged
the Burt boys in a bout last Sunday
afternoon at Burt, coming away vic
tors by score of 8 to 3. Outside
the frs; inning when the home team
enjoyed spell of racing round the
diamond for five scores the game
was a close one on both sides. The
Burt boys used three twirlers but
Williams for Clio pitched classy ball
every minute for the nine innings,
and received excellent support. The

The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1912-06-21

The Clio team, under the manage
ment of Fred Shaw, seems to be
showing greater strength in each
game. The boys, however, must
have the hearty support of those
who like the national game, and
when they are to the expense of
bringing visiting teams hcSe, this ex
pense should be borne by the spec
tators. II was indeed an exhibition
of colossal parsimoniousness, when
from the probable 200 visitors to
the game last Saturday, on the first
collection for the suppers but rs
cents was found in the hat. This
amount was later raised to S1.25 by
two spectators who gave quarter
each. If game is worth witness
ing, and games can not be played
without funds, why shouldn't those
who see the game pay for the privi-
lege. They would have to elsewhere.
But because we have no park i'm
Clio and no way of charging admis-
sion, ii is evident that quite bunch
have lost the combination to the safe
when ii comes to loosening up. Such
hide bound stinginess doesn't appeal
TO people generally. Don't think you
are always going to get something
for nothing.

The Fargo Baptists are planning for
a series of union evangelistic meetings
to be held at the Swedish Baptist

tinuing for two weeks. Rev. "A. E..
Peterson of the First Baptist church
will preach each night and an effort
is being made to secure the services
of Rev. e. E.. Barnhart of jamestown
to conduct the singing. Mr.. Barnhart
is the state Sunday school missionary
and has recently come to the state.
The matter Of holding these services
has been discussed for some time and
last evening a committee of represent
atives from each of the three churches
met in the First Baptist church study
and outlined the plans for the services.
1t is believed by those interested in
this movement that a series of meet
ings of this nature will be helpful in
preparation for the union effort n
der Evangelist Sunday, next April. The
committee having in charge the ar
rangements for this series of meetings
is composed OF the pastor and two
members from each of the churches.

Quite a good sized crowd of COM

of the commercial club gathered at
the 400 hour today to listen to a
brief address by Prof. G. w. Randlett

Professor Randlett is one of the few
men in North Dakota capable of tell

RULING ON HEALTH OFFICERS.
Counties Do Not Have to Pay Ex-
pense in Cities.

Austin, Texas, March 8.-Assist-
ant Attorney General o. C, Funder-
burk has advised State Health Off
Ger Steiner that counties are not re-
quired to pay the salary of the
health officer or any quarantine ex-
pense In an incorporated city; that
under the new law the county is res
ponsible for all territory outside OF
the limits of the incorporated city
and that the city itself is responst'
BILE for quarantine expenses within
those limits. There is no concurrence
of jurisdiction.
The question arose at Goldth-
waite, where the county refused te
bear the expense of a quarantine n
the city, and as the city did not au
thorize it there is no way to secure
pay.
