CLIO HIGH LOSES GAME, 9TO4

The High School boys made a poor
showing against the Sophmore ball
tossers of the Flint High School, Tues
day when they were coaxed into giving
their opponents nine scores while they
only CLEANED four. Both pitchers were
hit hard and both were given good sup
port. Huntington and Wright formed
the battery for Flint while Runnels and
Williams officianed for Clio until Will
liams was knocked out in the fifth in
ming. Runnels went behind the bat
while Secor Ia promising twirler with
lots of smokey held the Flint sluggers
down with his smoke and quick delivery.

team says with Runnels, Williams the

MAY 9TH ARb0R DAY

Gov. Ferris has issued the follow

day, May 3 next, to be observed as
Arbor day in Michigan
THE tremendous commercial value
OF forests is fast coming to be ap-
breciated. Effort is being made
Throughout the United States to con-
serve what remains and so far as
possible reforest large tracts Of ter
ritory. Trees have value other than
commercial. They are friends to
man and beast. Without friends man
is forlorn creature. Every choice
tree that is planted not only blesses
this generation, but graciously
blesses coming generations.
Birds, too, have an economic
value in the distribution Of plant life
and in the destruction of harmful in
sects. They also have a higher value.
Literature abounds in illusions to
birds, their nests, songs, food, fight,
migrations, plumage and habits. On
account of their beauty countless
numbers of our winged friends have
been killed to meet the ruthless de-
mands of fashion. May the fathers
and mother and their children of to-
day use their best efforts to preserve
and perpetuate the lives Of our USE
| full and beautiful birds. Love for
birds is akin to love for man.
Therefore, l, Woodbridge N. Fer
ris, governor of the state of Michi-
gan, do hereby designate Friday, May
8, A. ID. 1913, as Arbor and Bird ay,
and do request that this day be OBJ
served by all schools, public and pri-
vate, and other educational institu-
tions by the planting of trees for
beautifying school ground and
parks, and by conducting suitable
exercises for promoting the spirit of
protection to trees and birds"

NOTICE TO BOYS AND GIRLS.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 500 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, Is
to be awarded by Logan Waller Page,
director. Office of public roads, Unit
ed States department Of Agriculture,
Washington, ID. G. All compositions
must be submitted to Mr.. Page be-
fore May Is, 1913, and the medal
will be awarded as soon thereafter
as the compositions can be graded.
The composition may be based on
knowledge gained from books or 9TH
er sources, but no quotations should
be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situa-
tion of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads
Is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor.
1t Is expected that the competition
will bring about better understand
ing of the subject of repair and main
tenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad
vantages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper mainten-
ance and it is expected that their in
terest in the competition will stimu-
late greater interest among the par
ents. Bad roads have prevented
many children from obtaining a pro-
per education and have even prevent
ed doctors from reachinb the side of
rural patients in time to save their
lives.
Any child between the ages men
toned, attending country school,
may compete. Only one side OF the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, age,
and address of the writer, and the
name and location of the school
which he or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top of the first
page. The announcement Of the
competition has been sent to the sup
erintendents OF schools in the rural
districts. No further information
can be obtained from the Office of
Public Roads. This announcement
should be plain to everyone, and all
children will thus start ma basis of
equality.

First Railroad in Michigan

The Michigan College of Mines has
an interesting relic in the form of
rail from the first railroad laid down
in the State. 1t was the gift of the
pioneer John Senter just before his
death. The rail is fourteen feet long
and was first laid down in 1885 be-
tween Pontiac and Detroit. Later it
was part of the track of the car-line
operated by horses running into De-
troit Finally it was laid in a tram
track on the dock at Eagle River where
it served until it came into the posses
sion of John Senter.

DETROIT Y. NJ. c. A. To
HAVE STATE KEY men

Parents of young men who are leav-
ing home to go to Detroit will be inte-
ested to know of a new department
that has recently been installed by the
Detroit Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton.
1t is called the Inner-City Work De-
patment and its purpose is to get in
touch with young men Immediately
upon their arrival in Detroit and see
that they are comfortably located in
proper boarding houses-that they re-
ceive all the assistance possible in
obtaining positions and that they get
in touch with ire right kind of friends
ard companions.
1t is recognized fact that many
young men are led astray on their ar
rival in the city, due to their not know
ing where to locate and with whom to
associate.
1t is the desire of the Detroit Young
Mems Christian Association to see that
these young men secure boarding and
rooming places of the proper character
and that they are lined up with fellows
who will be benefit rather than a
menace; fellows who will take a
friendly interest in seeing that these
strangers are made to feel at home in
the city. Also that invitations are
given and accepted to attend church
and sessions of the Sunday School of
their religious belief.
An organized force of seventy seven
fine young men in Detroit are ready
and willing to call upon the strangers
and render the service needed. lC is
desired that it be thoroughly under
stood that this is purely plan of help
fulness and friendliness, with, not the
slightest obligation placed upon the
receiptant, either as to fee or member
ship.
Quick action is impressed upon the
'key Men" who do the visiting in De-
troit, for it is recognized that tar more
lasting benefit can accure to the party
called upon within forty-eight hours
after be reaches the city.
All young men are made most well
come and they will find those whose
pleasure it will be to serve. Parents
and friends are invited to send notice
of the coming of their sons, giving De-
troit address, and they may be assured
that prompt attention will be given to
all requests.
1t is the desire of this department to
establish 'tKey Men" in every town or
hamlet within at least hundred miles
of Detroit, or in those places where
the trend of travel is toward that city.
Two hundred such "Key Men" are now
appointed ana the names of seven hum
dred young men leaving for Detroit
have been sent in.
The Detroit Young Mems Christian
Association is never too busy to en-
deavor to locate your son and render
every possible service within its power.
