HOW WILL YOU VOTE?

"Clio gets more criticism from
outsiders on the condition of its
main street, than any other feature
of the village" said M. j. Doyle,
implement dealer, in commenting
yesterday on the probable outcome
of the paving question at the next
election "In fact, I never hear any
other criticism made Of the town by
outsiders.
II have heard so many visitors
lately talking about the Vienna
street mud holes that think it is
time the business men and the live
residents of the village were getting
busy arranging things to carry the
next election. A good pavement
through the center of the town
would INCREASE the value of every
piece of property in the corporation.
"Of all the villages that compare
in size to Clio, know Of none that
have worse main thoroughfare.
It's a public disgrace and they laugh
at us. There are many ways Of ad-
by reports given by travellers. Auto
mobilists judge village as burg"
or good town" according to the
smoothness of their path enroute.
What they say usually either helps
or hurts theoutside world.
1--WE lost the paving proposition
last election on a fluke. OF those
whov oted against it, there were some
who were influenced because they
thought their taxes would be higher.
These people, to say the least, were
short sighted. / believe they could
be convinced with very little argu-
ment that they would receive bene-
fits that would more than Offset the
insignificant sum that would be ad-
ded to their tax. Because l believe
they can be Influenced / would be
in favor Of starting a campaign
right now to win them over. A few
meetings and a discussion of the
subject in the Messenger would help
1 should like to have somebody give
me any sane argument against bet
ter streets. VIII anybody who voted
against the measure the last time
\ the proposition was submitted give
the Messenger an interview telling
just why he did it,"

Worth While n Iaaadlnr.

Some one has suggesteo that a GER
tain time set apart each Sunday shall
be devoted to reading with purpose.
Not just book picket up at random,
and another on quite a different topic
when that is finished At the end of
winter little definite mental advance
Is made from such method This
winter take books relating, say, to
one country, or to a painter and his
pictures, or to any definite subject
that attracts you, and read on that
subject for even one or two hours
each Sunday. In three months there
will be definite mental results.

In a Fir Tree

In Scappoose, Ore. there is wind
mill in fir tree. The fir tree, which
serves as a tower, was sawed off at
a height of about 60 feet from the
ground, and well was sunk at the
foot of the tree. A tank house was
then attached to the side of the trunk
some 40 feet above the ground, a
wind wheel was placed above, and the
ingenious owner has a model mill for
all practical purposes.

"As dead as a doornail' at first

in order to prevent disfguring the
