Well, Why Not?

w dSIliiS tOIi, OcC. IL. hon.
Andy" Edmistoc, of Weston,
is to be the first candidate of the
Democratic party for congress in
the new Third West Virginia dis
trict, according to the statements
made here today by men who
generally know in advance pref
ty correctly what their party
will do in the nominating line.
They said Mr.. Edmiston would
more than likely be the only can
didate for the nomination to
qualify for the PRIMARY, and that
he would welcome the opportun-
ity to take the nomination under
such circumstances, once more
carry the banner of his party in
campaign.
Mr. Edmiston is one of the vet
eran politicians of West Virginia.
He is one of the party's wheel
horses. He has been candidate
for Office in several stirring cam
paigns, and once served on the
circuit court bench. lie has
been very active as party man,
and had the honor of being chair
man of his party's organization
in one of the liveliest campaigns
that West Virginia has ever had.
The leaders who announced
Mr.. Edmiston's congressional
candidacy seem to be very pos
tive in predicting his nominal
ton. In the event their predic-
ton comes true, he will be OPP
posed by either Secretary of
State Stuart F. Reed, of Clarks-
S burg, Hon. H. Roy Waugh. of
fuckhannon. or Judge Homer
Woods, of Harrisville. These
hree are regarded as ''out" for
me Republican nomination, and
tle way the situation is sized up
iy politicians of that party, one
{ these three will get the nomi-
alton, as no additional entrants
re considered probable.

MILK PLANT TO OPEN
IN ABOUT SIX WEEKS
WILL BE LARGER AND BETTER
THAN BEFORE
Improved Systems Will Be Installed,
Making the Plant One OF the
Best in State

F. w. Ulrich, secretary and treas
urer of the Detroit Creamery Comp any,
owners of the local condensery, made
The Messenger an interesting call last
week. 1t was Mr.. Ulrich's first visit
to Clio and he expressed surprise at the
fine character of the local plant, which
he said was the largest the company
owned outside the city of Detroit, and
which would be made very attractive
as well as financially desirable addition
to Clio. He said the various machines
necessary for the plant were being Sc
cured as rapidly as possible and that he
thought it would be in complete opera
tion in about six weeks. The Merrill
Soule system for drying milk, the best
process extant, will be used for that
purpose and there will be- in addition, a
vacuum pan for the production of con-
densed milk, separators, churns, etc.,
ETC., the whole equipment making it
possible to properly care for any
amount of milk that can be secured,
no matter what the condition of the
weather. The factory building has
been greatly enlarged and improved, as
compared with its original form, and
will make one of the most light and
sanitary as well as one of the largest
milk plants in Michigan.

Gets Important Appointment


w. r. Hopkins was honored this week
by appointment of Governor Ferris to
the Offices of county agent and proba-
tion officer for Genesee county. The
county agent acts in conjunction with
the judge of probate in caring for the
interests of orphan, dependent or in
corrigible children and as such per-
forms services which are growing in
Importance in our commonwealth. The
county probation officer has supervis-
ion of convicts' paroled from reforma =
tories and prisons and receives a
monthly report from each of them, as
well as investigating their employment
and mode of living. Both offices re-
quire good judgment and strong as well
as sympathetic character, which re-
quirements could not have been better
met in Genesee county, we believe,
that in the person of our fellow towns
man, w. r. Hopkins. 1t has been re-
ported that Mr.. Hopkins would remove
to Flint, but this. we are glad to say,
will not be the case. as he can discharge
the duties of his office and retain his
residence here just as effectively as
though he were to remove to Flint.

Animal Myster;ously Hurt

Albert Chase, who lives north and
west of town. lost a valuable brood
mare last week, under circums tauces
that were certainly strange, if not such
as to arouse suspicion that cowardly
crime had been committed. The ami
NAL, apparently in perfect health, was
placed in box stall one evening and
the next day was discovered to have
been severely injured, upon which DIR.
w. R. Cox was called, who found that
its body had been penetrated by some
sort of sharp instrument or article to a
depth of nearly foot. The injury was
such that no relief could be afforded
and the horse soon died. The peculiar
location of the wound and the fact that
there was absolutely nothing in the
stall upon which the horse could have
accidentally injured herself, has given
rise to the thought that some moral
pervert may have had hand in the af-
fair.

Money Saving Opportunity

We want to supplement our display
advertisement in this issue of The Mes
senger by saying that we are going to
close out our stock of ladies' coats and
discontinue that branch of our business.
We bought about $4,000 worth of
these coats this year. They are of the
famous Siegel make, comprising all the
latest fabrics, lined with guaranteed
satin and are tailored magnifcently i'm
the very latest models.
We marked them close in the first
place to compete with city stores and
mail order houses.
But now you can buy them, right in
the beginning of the season, at "a off
the original and plainly marked figures.
1t don't make any difference where
you have intended to buy, we ask you
to come in and see these splendid gar
ments which we are offering at bar
gains that cannot be excelled in the
United States.
Come and look, that's all we ask.

Clio Should Awake

AS many Of our readers have seen,
the great automobile factories of Flint
are preparing to employ thousands of
additional workmen. Hundreds of these
and perhaps hundreds of others who
have business in the city would prefer
to live amid the purer air and uncrowd-
ed situation afforded by Clio, but in or
der to render our town accessible to
these people we must have cheap and
rapid transportation and more houses.
Here is a chance for Board Of Com
merce to do some effective work and
for those who have idle capital to make
an investment that should pay fair divi.
dends as well as serve to develop oui
town. The Messenger would like tc
have some suggestions from its readers
on this important subject.

/. S. OPERETTA
A fine SUCCESS
LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYED THE
PRODUCTION
Miss Uptegraff and the High School
Glee Club Entitled to
Much Praise

The operetta "On Plymouth Rock, !"
given by the High School Glee Club,
last Friday evening, was a complete
success in every way, the music and
acting being especially creditable and
the attendance such as filled the audi
torium to comfortable capacity.
The principal characters in the oper-
eta were assigned as follows: Gov.
Winslow, Earl Maltby; Capt. Miles
Standish, Carlyle Sandersfield; John
Alden, Rollie Goodrich; Dame Prudence
Goodly, Anna Habkirk; Priscilla Null
lins. Frances Jewell; with puritan maid
ems, men at arms, and Indians to make
up very realistic cast. The costumes
were true to the period and the scenes,
including the Thanksgiving feast, were
most charmingly arranged.
The choruses were tuneful, denoted
no little vocal ability and bore evidence
of careful and capable training. There
was not noticeable error nor poor
number on the program. Drills and
songs by the little lads and lassies of
the kindergarten and lower grades were
very charming indeed, and drew forth
the warmest applause, as did also a
solo by Master Walter Williams.
Miss Uptegraff, instructor in music
in the Clio schools, certainly demon
strated the value of her department as
an adjunct of the school curriculum, in
this entertainment, and also her ability
to communicate her enthusiasm and art
to her pupils. The compliments we
have heard expressed for both teacher
and pupils have been many and of the
most gratifying character.
Ackerman's orchestra, of Flint, the
members of which donated their SER
vices for the occasion, added not lit
tie to the pleasure and success which
attended the production. They rem
dered splendid music throughout and
are entitled to thanks as well as credit.

Clio Boy Honored

Walter Knickerbocker, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. Knickerbocker, of Thet-
ford, senior in the engineering de-
partment at M. A. c., won fine dis
tinction last week when he was elected
to membership in the Tau Beta Pi fra
ternity, to which only those attaining
high scholarship in engineering are ad-
mitted. As election to membership in
this fraternity comes wholly unsolicited
and as a reward for exceptional merit
Walter may well be proud of the honor
conferred upon him.

Winter in U. p.

On Monday in the Lake Superior re-
gion violent gale forced shipping to
seek shelter and thermometers regis
tered temperatures below zero at sew

is being carried on for Herman Err

heavy snowfall which occurred since

What Was His Greed?

He left load of anthracite
In front of poor woman's door
When the deep snow. frozen and white,
Wrapped street and square, mountain and moor.
That his deed; he did it well.
What was his creed | cannot tell.
Blessed in his basket and his store'
In sitting down and rising up
The more he got, the more he gave
Withholding not the crust and cup.
He took the lead in each good task
What was his creed do not ask.
His charity was like the snow
Soft, white and silent as it's fall
Not like the noisy winds that blow
From shivering trees the leaves pail
For flowers and weed dropping below,
What was his creed The poor may know.
He had great faith in oaves Of bread,
For hungry people, young and old,
Hope he inspired; kind words he said
To those he sheltered from the cold.
For we should feed as well as pray
What was his creed | cannot say.
In words he did not put.his trust
His faith in words he never writ,
He loved to share his cup and crust
With all mankind who needed it,
In time of need a friend was he.
What was his creed He told not me.
He put his faith in goodness, and he
Worked well with hand and head
And what he gave in charity
Sweetened his sleep and daily bread.
Let us take heed for life is brief
What was his creed What's his belief?
