About fifty members of the Clio

The bean crop is reported not to have
been very good in Michigan, but F. M.
Houghton & Co. are taking in from 400
to 600 bushels of them daily. The quail
ity is much below normal as the leans
''pick" from a to 20 lbs. per bushel,
notwithstanding which, at the prevail
ing high prices, some farmers are find
ing their bean crop quite profitable.
E. E. Huyck was the victim of a
pleasant conspiracy, last week Thurs
day evening, when Mrs. Huyck ar
ranged little surprise party in honor
of his birthday. Mr.. and Mrs. E. R..
May, of Saginaw, were present, as
were also small party of friends and
neighbors, and with music and conver-
sation the occasion was made very
charming indeed. A bountiful dinner
was served at $50, the central figure of
which was, of course, a magnificent
cake bearing the requisite number of
lighted candles. The affair was planned
so quietly that the genial host had not
the slightest suspicion of it until the
arrival of the guests, fact which lent
additional pleasure to an altogether
pleasant occasion.
At the initial meeting of the Clio
Study Club, held Monday evening, the
following officers were chosen: Presi-
dent, Harley Jennings; secretary, Prof.
w. d. White; treasurer, c. H. Reed.
Program committee: Mrs. M. E. Smith,
Mrs. G. G. Matzen, w. d. White, C. H.
Reed. The first meeting will be held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, Mon
day evening, the subject being a brief
symposium on England. 1t is probable
that the history of the United States
will be studied during the coming sea-
son. Several who have expressed de-
sire to participate in the work of the
club were not able to be present at the
first meeting and these, as we'll as any
others who would like to join, will be
very welcome at the meeting to be held
at the home of Mrs. Smith.
The attention of our readers is espec-
tally called to the character of the gen.
eral news and miscellany pages of The
Messenger. which will be fonnd each
week to contain articles equal in every
respect to those printed in the great
monthly periodicals. If you have not
been in the habit of looking through
these pages carefully, please do so now
and we are sure you will awake to the
fact that you have been missing some
thing well worth while. Next week we
shall begin publication of stirring SER
ial story entitled "The Sea Wolf" by
Jack London, which is said to be one of
the best stories ever written by that
master of adventurous fiction. We
would also call attention to the fact
that the paper is now cut in manner
which makes every page readily access
| ible.
