"A Proclamation by the Governor

Decoration and Memorial Day has
come to mean more to the American
people than any other day set apart
for paying tribute to patriotism. 1t
is day that recalls sacred memo
ries. These memories become more
sacred with every added year, be-
cause the ranks of the Grand Army
Of the Republic are becoming thin
ner and thinner. Those who are
with us now will soon join the
Grand Army of the Dead. To the
earlier Decoration Days have been
added new memories of thousands
of Spanish American War veterans
who laid down their lives for more
glorious America.
Let the people of Michigan make
next Decoration Day the most beau
tiful in all her history. This should
not be a day for recreation and
amusement but rather a day for con-
secration. Flowers for the dead be-
token kindly spirit, but flowers
for the living of the Grand Army of
the Republic are an expression of
love and valor.
The thirtieth of May is set apart
for appropriate exercises in every
school house and church in Michi-
gan whereby our boys and girls may
be encouraged to cherish an abiding
love for both our heroic dead and
our heroic living.
Therefore, /, Woodbridge N. Fer
ris, Governor of the State of Michi-
gan, do hereby issue this my Procla-
nation and heartily urge the observ-
ance OF Friday, May 30, 1913, as
Decoration and Memorial Day.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State, this eighth
day of May, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and
thirteen, and of the Commonwealth
The sevUnty-seventh.

Governor.

Why, Necessary, a Long Wait?

Why are Vienna Township roads
neglected each year, while in the
surrounding townships work is be-
ing done even now This is the
time when it should be done for later
on farmers will be drawing in the
products from the farm, and 1T will
the same as last year, have poor
roads to travel over. There is plen-
ty of stone and gravel on hand,A and
the teams available to draw same.
Then comes the question, why do
we waltz
Apparently every one of the three
county road commissioners have for
gotten that there ssuch a township,
as Vienna, in Genesee county. 1t
being a very necessary thing to be
done, further, it being fact, finally,
that the farmers and other residents
of Vienna Township are annually
paying a tax for the up-keep and
building of roads, it is about time
we ask the county road commission
. ers to show their hand and get busy
IN this township at once, and not
Sait TO build our roads next fall.
w is the accepted time and we
Fought not to be less favored than
others.
Will some of our readers, farmer
friends, merchants and others please
write OF call personally on the road
commissioners and jar their memory
in regard to the necessity of imme-
date action? The roads in the viii
lage are now being put in good con-
dition with gravel and being graded,
to the limits, with the stone road
east of town on the Saginaw and
Flint road finished and the required
amount of work performed on all
others, there would be no reason for
complaint. If this matter interests
you, help agitate 1t. BY all means
let's have something done.

GOVERNMENT HOMEsTEADS

The United States Reclamation
Service announces the availability for
homestead entry some excellent irri-
gated farms in the well-known Sho-
shone irrigation project near the
Yellowstone Park in Wyoming and
in the Huntley and Belle Fourche
projects in Montana and South Da-
kota. Water is now ready for de-
livery to these farms, and under the
new threeyear homestead law a lib
eral inducement is accorded settlers
in that they are permitted five
months leave of absence in each
year. The cost of the water right
is repayable in ten annual install
ments without interest.
In all of the foregoing districts
there are already splendid transpor-
tation facilities, good roads, schools,
stores, churches of practically all de-
nominations and rural free delivery
For those with sufficient means to
commence farming operations this
offers an excellent opportunity to
work out ones independence and to
develop a paying farm. Mr.. Albert
V. Leonard, Settlement Agent of the
Reclamation Service, Federal Bldg,
Chicago, has available for distribu-
tion several descriptive pamphlets
concerning these projects and will
be glad to furnish them upon request

R|OT|NG IS RENEWED
AGAIN IN CINCINNATI

Cincinnati. O.. May 19-Rioting be-
gan again here in the street-car strike
when an attempt was made to start
cars from the Brighton car, barns.
Two cars had Just left the barns
when a big mob surrounded them,
pulled the crews from the cars and
beat and kicked the men. Bricks,
stones, clubs and other missiles were
hurled through the car windows, COM
pletely wrecking them. One strike
breaker who was dragged from his
post was badly injured.
Crews Beaten by Mob.
At Fifth and Central avenues short.
ly afterwards a car on the Elberon
avenue line was demolished by riot
ers. The motorman and conductor
were beaten up and their lives were
saved only by the quick work of the
police, who drove back the mob and
rescued the strike breakers. The two
victims were hurried to a hospital IN
serious condition.
Men Ask to Leave Town.
The attacks caused a break in the
ranks OF the strike breakers, one hun
dred of whom declared they would not
operate cars and would leave the city
if provided with an armed guard to
escort them to the depot These men
have been housed at the Avondale car
barns.
Missiles Thrown From Building.
A second outbreak came at the cor
ner of Fourth and Vine streets, where
men working on the new building of
the Central Union Life Insurance COM
pany threw pieces Of iron, bags of
cement and other materials from the
upper floors on passing Elberon ave-
nue. car The roof of the car was
wrecked the crew driven from 1t and
number of pedestrians were struck
by flying splinters and injured.
Governor Refuses to Call Troops.
Governor Cox does not believe con-
ditions in the Cincinnati street-car
strike have yet become serious
enough to warrant sending troops
there. He refused the request of
Mayor Hunt of Cincinnati to order ma
tional guardsmen there. The governor
is keeping an eye on the situation,
however, and should the rioting reach
more serious aspect 1t Is probable
the mayors request will be granted.
All cars in this city were annulled
by the traction company due to the in
creasing rioting.

TO REMOVE DISTRACTIONS

At the last meeting of the village
council, the village marshal was in
structed to have all distractions re-
moved from streets obstructed in
this village, at once, as a matter OF
public safety and appearance too.
1t is stated that one street Is even
obstructed with fence, however, the
order is effective Immediately, and
the marshal is busy now. The coun-
ell also christened the first street
west of the Pere Marquette railroad
running north and south. 1t will be
known as Richard street. To think
of 1t, the people have been prom
enading up and down this street for
SO long and didn't even know where
thew were and half the time where
they were going.
Another good move is the petition
that is to be sent to the Pere Mar
quette Ry. relative to having the
morning south bound flyer stop at
Clio with all perishable express. AS
it is now, it goes on through to
Flint and does not arrive here until
PA hours afterward, and not very
fresh even then. Let us hope that
the petition will find lodgment in the
right place of the railway company
that conditions may be bettered.

FIGHT TO A FINISH

The question: "Who owns the
street. Edgar and Clark Burley, or
the Village Of Clio" which has been
4 bone of contention for sometime
past. IS finally to be threshed out in
the courts. The Burleys having pc
titioned the circuit court for an in
junction to restrain the village from
opening and using the same. Ac-
cordingly the village officials have
decided to resort to the law, and
finally settle the question. AS a mat
ter of fact any private property can
be condemned and appraised as to
value the owners paid a sum rea-
sonable, and forced to abdicate, for
the interests of public improvement.
At any rate the outcome OF this
local affair will be watched for eag-
