POULTRY ASSOCIATION is
PLANNED FOR CID

There are quite number Of peo-
pie i'm and around Clio who have
fine poultry but for lack of a
chance to show them and exhibit
their good qualities are just keep
ing all the good things they learn
to themselves. Why can we not
have poultry show every year,
where the enthusiasts can get To-
gether and talk over the good
points of their birds and get ac-
quainted with each other? We are
sure this would be a good thing
and that the matter neds only to be
brought to their attention and an
association will be formed. Other
towns smaller than Clio have these
annual shows and those who attend
and enter their stock are greatly
benefited thereby. No matter il
YOU have only a few birds, get in
touch with your neighbor who ,pas
chickens, ducks or turkeys-any-
thing so it's fowl-and talk The
matter over. If you are interested
write or call on III. V. Biery and he
will be glad TO give you information
on the subject. Remember this is
for the benefit of all chicken fan
cierS and utility growers. Primari-
ly This move will be in The interest
of better results from better poul-
try.

HOW ABOUT IT?

Did sou ever stop 10 think what
q great labor saver The home paper
is as means of communication
with absent friend? write to me
often" is the last comand the one
breaking away from home ties so
often gives to those left behind.
In the rush and hurry of every day
very few people nowadays have
time to devote to correspondence
of the leisurely kind the people of
other days kept up with such un-
varying punctuality. And here is
where the home paper saves a
world of trouble. Ii is better than
a letter from home too, for it con-
tains much that a letter would not.
Items of interest are in it that the
writer of a letter might not know
or overlook. 1t is wonderful how
eagerly one devours home paper
when a stranger in a strange land.
Even the people you do not know
intimately while at home, become
of absorbing interest to you when
you read that they have died or
married or figured otherwise prom
inently in the home affairs. If
there is some one of your family
away from home, try sending them
this paper regularly and a letter
occasionally and see if they do not
appreciate the favor of the paper.

One of The most distressing acci-

she was fatally burned through a

whose residence is next to the Hud-
son home, was going home from the

MeekS rushed to her assistance but
when he tried to raise The unf0rtu-

Sician and together they broke into
the house, it being locked, wrapped
q blanket around the victim OF The
accident and carried her up stairs.
Her clothing mad been entirely
burned oil as had The hair OF her
head and there was scarcely spot
on her body where the flesh was
not cooked to the extent that t
would fall oil at the least touch. All
that it was possible to do was done,
but to no avail, and after suffering

SEVEN YEAR OLD LAD
TIRES OF VISIT; STARTS
HOME WITHOUT A CENT

Frederick Neely is a bright little
boy OF seven years, whose home is
at Slandish, where his father, Fred
Neelcy, conducts blacksmithing
establishment School closed NJ
Standish two weeks ago, and Fred
Jr., wishing 10 visit his country
cousins near Clio, was brought
here last week Sunday, to the home
of Fred Neely of West Vienna.
Country life for Freddie was not
the dream he had hoped for, and
two days Of "enchantment" was
enough To make him homeSick and
he set out for home "cross lots"
He was missed shortly from the
Neely home and was found ''hot
footing near the slaughter house
and taken back. Sunday morning
when Mrs. Nicely went upstairs to
rouse the sleeping youngster, he
was found to be missing from his
downy couch. Investigation re-
vealed footprints in the sands of
West Vienna, which ended when
the village sidewalks were reached.
No further trace of the lad was
found and Deputy Sheriff Powers
was enlisted in the search for the
missing youth. Surmising that the
boy had boarded the early morning
north bound passenger on the Pere
Marquette, the deputy went to Sag
inaw and Bay City, but his search
was in vain and he returned home
empty handed. He detailed Mar
Shal Define to meet the morning
p. Nj. passenger train and ascertain
from the conductor if he had car
ried north bound penniless youth
the morning before. The marshal
gained the information that the
conductor had carried the boy to
Saginaw where he had turned him
over to the police. This had not
been reported at headquarters
when Deputy Powers made his Wis
it Sunday, but the Saginaw police
were questioned again by the depu-
ty who learned that the lad had
been turned over to the Salvation
Army. The deputy on his second
trip was successful in capturing
the kid and he brought the prodigal
yputb hack homo with hin, Monday
noon. The little fellow did not
want to continue his Vienna visit
longer, so the father at Standish
was informed of the lads desire
to return home and he came to Clio
Monday night, starting back with
the homesick boy on the 9.20 the
same evening.
The lad displayed an heroic de-
termination to make "get away"
and he kept his folks guessing for
one day, anyhow. A spirit that
will move boy of seven to get up
at 2:30 in the morning on a stormy
night, take four mile hike through
the mud, face the dangers of the big
city by boarding train without a
cent Of money and riding on his
nerve must be some moving spirit
all right. But that's the kind that
possessed little Fred Neely on his
first visit to his Clio country cous-
ins.

When you write a check on a
bank take precautions against any
one "raising it"-that is, making it
read for larger sum than you in
tended. For instance, if you write
one for S5, either write the word
"five" so close to the left hand end
of the printed form that there will
be no chance for any one to write
twenty" or "fifty" in front of il,
or draw heavy line in front of it
to the edge of the paper; and al
ways draw heavy line after il,
for fear some one might add "hund-
red" or thousand. Take the same
pre- cautions with the figure five in
the corner. AS for ourselves we
have no fear of the latter contin-
gency arising.
