GOOD ADVICE TO FOLLOW
An Old Newspaper Clipping Found in a
Drowned Mans Pocketbook.

The following good advice was re-
Gently sent to the New York Times for
republication by merchant of that
city, who says he procured it years ago
when a boy, from newspaper clipping
found in the pocket of Stephen Allen,
former mayor of New York, who lost
his life along with seventy others by
the burning of the steamboat Henry
Clay, on the Hudson, July 27, 1852:
Never be idle.
Make few promises.
Always speak the truth.
Never speak evil of anyone.
Keep good company or none.
Live up to your engagements.
Earn money before you spend it.
Be just before you are generous.
Never play at any game of chance.
Keep your own secrets, if your have
any.
Good character is above all things
else.
Never borrow if you can possibly
avoid it.
Make no haste to be rich if you would
prosper.
Keep yourself innocent if you would
be happy.
Do not marry until you are able to
support wife.
When you speak to person look him
in the face.
Save when you are young to spend
when you are old.
Avoid temptation; through fear you
may not withstand it.
Never run into debt unless you see a
way to get out again.
Small and steady gains give compe-
tency with tranquility of mind.
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts.
Good company and good conversation
are the very sinews of virtue.
If anyone speaks evil of you, let your
life be so that none will believe him.
If your hands cannot be usefully en-
ployed. attend to the cultivation of your
mind.
Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors.
Ever live (misfortunes excepted)
within your income.
When you retire to bed think over
what you have been during the day.

FLINT ELECTRIC co.
ASKS CLIO FRANCHISE
WANTS CONTRACT FOR THIRTY
YEAR PERIOD
Gas as Well as Electric Privilege Asked
For. Rates to Be the Same as in
Mt. Morris and Fenton

The Flint Electric Co. has presented
a proposed ordinance to the council of
Clio, by the terms of which it would be
permitted to sell electricity and gas, in
the village for period of thirty years.
The schedule of proposed prices is as
follows: 10c per kilowat, for the first
thirty hours monthly use of connected
load; &c for the next thirty hours and
&c for all over that amount. These
prices are the same we understand, as
the company is charging its patrons in
other small towns in the county, the
charge in Flint for similar service be-
ing 1Oc &c and &c per kilowatt, instead
of 10c, &c, and &c as proposed for Clio.
The reason for the lower rate in Flint
is alleged to be that practically the
same equipment will there supply SER
vice to very much greater number of
customers. Service would be available
"a hours per day.
For street lights, the proposed
charges are as follows: 80 candle power,
burning from dusk until dawn, $500
per year. on five year contract; same
on ten year contract, $24. 90, the charge
being eight dollars less in each in
stance providing the lamps burn until
midnight only. For lamps Of 200 can
die power, the proposed rate is 5000
per year for all night lights; $4,000 till
midnight on five year contract; $54. 90
and $36. 90, respectively, on ten year
contract.
The present schedule for private
lighting is 2Oc for the first five kilo-
watts and &c per kilowat for all above
that amount. For the street lights, SO
in number. the village pays S2s. 80 per
year on a midnight basis.
1t is possible that the matter of the
proposed franchise will be brought up
at the next meeting of the council, but
it would have to be ratified by vote
of the electors of the village before be-
coming effective.
Lates-We understand that a repre-
Sentative of the Flint Electric Co. will
be present at the council meeting next
Monday evening, to explain the PROPOSE
ton in detail and it is hoped that every
citizen who can do so will be present to
hear him.

DECLARES ARMED
PEACE FAILURE
Baron Rosen, Former Russ Ambassador
at Warrington, Comments on War

1t is the opinion of Baron Roman
Rosen that the war should lead to ar
entirely new conception of interna-
tional political relations. Armed peace,
he points out, has been failure, and il
will be necessary to evolve a new
theory for the purpose of maintaining
the political equilibrium of Europe.
Baron Rosen formerly was Russian
ambassador to the United States, and
served as one of the Russian envoys at
the Portsmouth peace conference. He
is now member of the upper house of
the Russian parliament.
''The protentious and calamitous
events we are witnessing" said the
baron, "should, it seems, impress civil
lized mankind with the necessity of or
ganizing the life of the community of
nations upon different basis, designed
so as to preclude the possibility of any
one power automatically involving al
most all the others in a catastrophe
such as Germany's over-weening am
bition has brought upon the civilized
world.
"It can hardly be denied that the much
vaunted equilibrium based on the group
ing of the great powers of Europe in
two irreconcilibly hostile camps has la
mentally failed to do so. Instead of
being, as was claimed for it, the surest
safeguard of the peace of Europe, it
has proved the cause of constant emu
lation between the opposing groups of
powers in ever growing formidable
ornaments, and has finally led to one
OF the powers concerned resorting to
the criminal folly of war.
''To devise a plan of safeguarding
the civilized world against the recur-
renee of catastrophe such as the pres
ent one will, after the conclusion of
peace. become the task, and should not
prove to be beyond the limits of the
competence of true craftsmanship.
Baron Rosen reflected the viewpoint
that the war was "the revolt of man.
kind against the idea that might goes
before right.
''This is why the sympathy of the
world seems to be on the side of the
Allies, he continued. mo one dreams
of begrudging the German people the
birthright among the great nations on
lOotiilB VI SqudiiIy DuI IHC WoIiu Will
never submit to the hegemony of the
mailed fist.
''No one doubts the patriotism of the
Germans on their determination to
fight as long as their resources last.
Still, the amount of suffering which
this war entails, not only on the bellig-
erents but also on the rest of the civil
lied world, is bound to grow from
month to month as the war continues
Therefore it would seem to be to the
interest of all concerned, and most OF
all perhaps of the German people them.
selves, to bring the war to conclusion
as soon as possible.
''The surest way of reaching such 9
result would be to bring about a gen
eral coalition such as crushed the power
of the first Napoleon, still leaving
France intact and an honored member
of the family of nations. Failing this
however, league of neutrals, espec.
tally if it be headed by the United
States, might bring to bear upon Ger
many moral pressure sufficient to make
her realize the futility of continuing 8
struggle that certainly could never leaC
to realization of her ambitions. y
