Some "joy rider" took Ernest Mon
tague's fine new auto. Tuesday even
ing, and after using it more or less,
drove it to place on the street other
than that in which Mr.. Montague left
it. An act of this kind is far from be-
ing joke, and those who may be in
clined to do so should know that the
law prescribers severe penalty for
this Iarticular kind of offense,
Boys who use air guns or rifles should
be very careful. The other day bull
let from such gun struck house in
Clio. 1t might easily have struck a
person and inflicted serious injury, per-
haps destroying an eye. Only year
or two ago a man in Corunna was badly
hurt in this way and boy got into SER
ious difficulty. Then, again, the song
birds are all protected by very string
ent laws and the boy who would kill one
of them ought to be made to suffer the
penalty.

cent home. The meeting concluded
