State Tax SlII,O29

The state tax for Shiawassee county
will be $l1l, ,029 this year being about
$4,000 greater than last year. This
with necessary raising of practically
$50, 900 to clear up accumulated over
drafts in the county contingent fund,
will make an unusually high tax rate
this fall and will probably preclude the
sppropriating of any but absolutely
necessary amounts by the board of
supervisors at the coming session.

Editor Clio Messenger,
Dear Friend: see in columns Of your
paper that you have special need just
about this time of some ready cash, and
/ sincerely hope that the patrons of the
paper will be appreciative enough to
respond quickly and cheerfully. l am
delighted with the paper. as is also all
the members of my family. You eer-
tainly give us fine, up-to-date, paper.
The market reports are revised weekly
and are reliable, so different from many
village papers | have known. These
and the choice selections of poetry
which appear from week to week on
the first page are alone Tin my opinion)
worth the price of the paper, to say
nothing about your excellent advertis-
ing, your local news, your correspond
ence from various quarters, and all the
rest of the good things that go to make
up a paper of which the citizens of
Clio and vicinity may well be proud.
/ say, hope the response to your
very mild and courteous request for
little cash will be prompt and cheerful.
My year is not up till the first of May
next, but | inclose $l.00 for an addi-
tional years subscription, and wishing
ing you success in all your efforts to
help the town and vicinity, remain
Yours sincerely,

AWARDED $1,000 AND
CARNEGIE MEDAL
MOTORMAN ALBERT LADUE, OF
CLIO, WINS DISTINCTION
Jumped Ahead of Moving Car and Saved
Life of Baby Girl, Sept. 13,
1918

The many friends of Albert A. LaDue,
who, by the way, is one of Clos most
estimable young men, were surprised
and greatly gratified to learn through
the state press, Thursday morning, that
at a recent meeting of the Carnegie
Hero Fund Commission he had been
awarded a bronze medal and $1,000
cash.
The report Of the commission is as
follows
ALBERT A. LaDue, Clio, Mich, bronze
medal and 81, 900. LaDue, motorman,
q years old, saved Lillian M. Carter.
1-year-old, from being run over by an
electric car in Saginaw, September 13,
1913. The child had toddled to the
track and fell across rail when LaDue's
car was 80 or 40 feet from her. By re-
versing the motor he had been able to
reduce the speed of the car from 20
miles an hour to eight, when he threw
off the power and applied the air brakes.
"This was done with his left hand as
he stepped to the car steps, when he
was about seven feet from the child.
He jumped, swinging in front of the
car, and landed on his feet close to the
rail- He grabbed the child's clothes and
was lifting her when the car struck
him. He was knocked eight feet away,
landing outside the track. Neither he
nor the chiIq injured. y

If your wife believes in woman suf-

in common with the husband. Even
when burglar chances to enter

mand your wife to the battlefield with
all her household artillery trolling and

the husband should be certain that there
is burglar present and not just a

killing ones own family pet cat might
be again staged in the village.

The suicide by man who leaped iron
the observation gallery on the new Gus
toms house tower in Boston calls atten
ton sharply to the demand that the gal
lery be enclosed either by glass or by
strong wire netting in order to prevent
acts of this nature. The suicide yester'
day was the first to take place in the
high tower over 400 feet from the street
but it will not be the last by any means
if the proper safeguards are not taken,
On the Eiffel tower in Paris it was found
necessary to enclose the observation gal.
lery after man had dashed himself to
death by leap from the very great
height; and other galleries on lesser ele-
vations are generally constructed so that
persons with suicidal tendencies can be
restrained. The easy accessibility of a
comparatively low guard rail at such a
height is a powerful temptation to per
sons of somewhat unbalanced or dis
traught minds. !.
