PERSONAL LIBERTY

mr. GEORGE Brandes, while visiting
n this country, is said to have remark
a inst before leaving the port of New
York that the statute of liberty,
1 which was pointed out to him at the
fine seemed to he all the liberty we
have. He says that we have very
mich less liberty in America than
thev have in Europe. For instance,
10 saws the American telephone is
the worst instrument of torture that
exists Gle happened not to come to
Prescott where we have no tele-
pbones). He said that the MEDIEVAL
rack and thumb screw were pleasant
things compared to it. He went on to
Illustrate, that he might be sitting
talking to a friend or possibly engag-
ed in some important affair, and he
would be suddenly called to the tele-
phone to answer without any cere-
mony or hesitancy on the part of the
caller. Somebody simply demands
that he be spoken to regardless of
what you might be doing at the time
and you must get up and answer him
and if the call were at midnight it
would be all the same.
This he does not call freedom. The
only liberty worth anything he says
is the liberty that has its foundation
within your mind or spirit, that gives
US command Of ourselves and stimu-
lates a free dealing with experience
and this Americans perhaps of all peo-
.ple most ignore.
The central idea in Or. Brandes sug-
gestion that we ought ,to be more
alone We ought to be left undisturb-
ed and should not be required to jump
and run first for one.thing and another
when there is no emergency requiring
It.

The work being done by the coun-
ty at the court house in the way of
grading and making hedges of flowers
is good example for the town and
community. The general appearance
of the country can always be much
improved by taking care of the little
odds and ends about place and turn
ing them from unsightly appearance
into places of beauty.

Crop conditions in the county gen
orally are above the average we think,
but they might not be very long if the
drouth continues. This is a matter
however, over which we have no con
troll. If we do our part however, in
preparation of the soil we have rea-
sor to be thankful for the condition
that do not prevail. OF course no
crcp is made or ready to harvest eX-
cept the oat crop which is better than
usual but the indications are very ia
vorable for a prosperous year all
round.

On the goth inst there is to be a
very important melting in Prescott.
More important even than the tele-
phone meeting 1t will be road meet
ing at which is to be considered the
proposition of forming Improvement
districts to build roads. No represen-
tative meeting planned ahead Of time
like this has ever been called for the
purpose in the county before. It
should be well attended and the ques-
tion should be discussed with freedom
and without prejudice as it means a
considerable loss of time to pass an
other session of the legislature with
out some constructive road legislation.

Will Start Sugar Campaign
Earlier

At meeting of representatives from
the various factories of the Michigan
Sugar Company, held at Bay City, it
was decided to start this campaign,
weather conditions continuing as favor
able as they have been, the last of this
month or the first of October, which
will be earlier than hitherto.
Reports from sugar beet growing Sec
tions would indicate that there will be
better than normal yield of beets per
acre. Much will depend upon weather
conditions from now on. Present indi-
cations are that the Owosso Sugar
Company will start operations at its
plants at Owosso and Lansing about
Oct. /.
Sugar officials are not expecting to
experience transportation trouble this
year. The Pere Marquette already has
many cars parked in Saginaw side
tracks awaiting the shipping of beets.
Cars not in condition to carry other
shipments are generally good enough
for beet transportation. Michigan In
vestor.

We are informed that the wife of
Chas. DAILY, a well-known resident of
Birch Run, while driving to the home
of a neighbor, at about six O'Clock last
Friday evening, was struck by motor
truck and badly hurt. After smashing
Mrs. Daly's rig, the driver of the truck
left her lying by the roadside and put
ting on full speed endeavored to get
away as rapidly as possible. Coming
to gang at work on the road ne in
formed them that he had just ran into
a rig driven by a woman and advised
them to give her attention. Mrs. DAILY
was found to be badly hurt, although
no bones were broken. The carriage
was smashed to bits and the harness
stripped completely off the horse. AS
far as we have been able to learn the
reckless driver of the truck has not
been apprehended and our latest infor-
nation is that Mrs. DAILY is slowly i'm
proving.

MAN TRAMP[ED
BY WILD HORSE
HORSE SALE IN CLIO HAD ExCIT-
ING FEATURES
Animals Sold Readily But Were Hard to
Manage. Flint Man Badly Hurt
by Fractions Horse

The carload of horses brought to this
place, Saturday, were sold at auction
with little trouble, which is more than
can be said of getting them to the
homes of the various purchasers. The
animals tore around something fierce
when halters or ropes were put on their
heads and for the most part made it
very interesting for those who attempt
ed to lead them. A man by the name
of Robert Towle, of Flint, was thrown
down and stepped on in several places
by horse he had purchased. Many of
the horses were likely appearing and all
went at reasonable prices. When the
sale was over the stock yard fence
looked as though it had been bombarded
by the Germans.
Reports received since the foregoing
was written indicate that Mr.. Towle
was very seriously hurt, although he
remained around the yards for some
time after the accident and refused
medical assistance. When he arrived
at his home, however, it became appar-
ent that he was badly injured and the
doctors who were called found that he
was suffering from a broken leg, a
broken arm, three broken ribs, and
cuts and bruises too numerous to men,
ton. Orlander Zeiter. of this place,
was employed to deliver the fiery, un-
tanned steed to its very much delapi-
dated owner, and reports the trip to be
one that he will long remember. The
horse was thoroughly maddened and
frequently stopped and paved holes in
the road, some of them nearly large
enough to bury him in.

Hereafter it will be our aim to close
the columns of The Messenger NOT
LATER THAN THREE O'CLOCK
THURSDAY AFTERNOONS. This is
rendered necessary in order that the
paper may reach all of its subscribers
in this vicinity not later than Saturday
morning, following each publication.
In order to accomplish this purpose we
CANNOT ACCEPT COPY LATER
THAN THURSDAY NOON of each
week and all lengthy notices or articles
mustsbe handed in sufficiently early not
to interfere with this plan. 1t will be
apparent, of course, that we cannot
set up the entire newspaper after 1900
O'Clock Thursdays and so. we trust, our
friends will send in the news items,
notices, etc., they may wish to have
published, as early in the week as pos
sible. This change is not made in the
interest of the editor or employees of
the office; it is made in response to re-
peated objections on the part of many
subscribers whose papers have been
reaching them too late to give satisfac.
tion We ask the assistance of our
readers in this matter and ask them to
remember that copy cannot be taken
later than NOON on Thursdays.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
NEAR Pine RUN
DR.. p. E. WHITE STRIKES RIG
DRIVEN BY CAREY MORSE
Accident Took Place Monday Night. Mr..
and Mrs. Morse Slightly In
jured; Auto Smashed

Monday evening, at about half-past
seven o'clock. as DR.. P. E. White, ac-
companied by his wife and mother,
was returning to Clio in bis automobile,
after making professional call, he
collided with a rig driven by Carey
Morse, who lives about five and one
half miles northeast of town.
The accident took place in Pine Run
at the point where the old plank road
crosses Vienna street, the doctors view
Of the crossing being obstructed by
buildings as well as the darkness. 1t
appears that Mr.. Morse, who together
with his wife occupied light spring
wagon, was driving straight north on
the plank road and did not see the ap-
preaching auto. The doctor, as stated,
was coming into town on Vienna street
and did not see the rig until it was
pulled squarely across the roadway.
On the right hand side of the road was
a telephone pole which he was sure to
strike if he turned that way and on the
left he thought he stood chance of
passing behind the buggy. The space
was too narrow, however, and the car
struck the rig with sufficient force to
smash one of its wheels and throw the
occupants out. The radiator, tenders,
axle and other parts of the mechanism
of the car were badly damaged but its
occupants escaped injury.
DR.. White at once gave attention to
Mr.. and Mrs. Morse. procuring an auto
mobile and taking them to their home,
where an examination indicated that
while they had sustained some severe
bruises, especially Mrs. Morse, their in
juries were not of permanent nature,
and at last accounts they were able to
be about and were recovering as rapid
ly as could be expected.
1t is said by those who know the
place that the crossing where the acci-
dent occurred is more than ordinarily
dangerous, as the view from all direc-
tions is obstructed by the lay of the
land and by buildings and the roadway
is very narrow. 1t is regarded as most
fortunate that the results of the acci-
dent were not more severe and it is but
just to say, also, that DR.. White is
a very careful driver. Perhaps it may
be opportune to say that the accident
should teach both motorists and drivers
to exercise extra caution in approach
ing road intersections after nightfall.

Favors Cucumbers

Rob't McInnes is one of those who
have been successful in raising cucum-
bers this year. From three.fourths of
an acre of ground devoted to this crop
he secured return Of about sixty dol
lars. The soil was light, Mr.. McInnes
says, but the crop was given good culti-
walton and picked when the size was
right to secure the best prices. When
the cucumbers are allowed to get large
they destroy the bearing qualities of
the vines and sell at small prices,
whereas the smaller ones bring good
prices.
