SAYS NATIONS DUTY
 10 SEEK GOD FIRST

Seeking First the Kingdom of Cod was the subject discussed in an able manner by Rev. A. w. Atkinson, state superintendent of mission work for the M. E. church, at the union services at the Y. NJ. C. A. stadium lest evening.
 The speaker poitned out the catas- trophe that had come upon the world because the European powers had not been seeking to build up armaments and had turned their attention and re sources to the manufacture of am- munitions and preparation for war. The conflict, he declared, was an in evitable result, the explosion that fol- lowed the dropping of a spark into a powder magazine. Had the European n nations had the viewpoint of the United States and Canada, who have been good neighbors for 100 years the
 'ar would have been impossible. Ap- plying the text to a national policy in other ways, Rev. Atkinson spoke of the solution of the liquor question and of the adjustment of the differences between capital and labor, and urged the adoption of the policy of seeking first the things of God. Several special musical numbers were rendeerd

 The milking must be done in a clean place-a corral. a paddock or a baYl- it does not matter so that it is clean and free from dust.
 If there is no screened milk house for cooling, bottling or separating the milk. it must be provided. Can flies or the dirt they carry be kept out in any other way?
 There must be a fly proof privy. Surely nothing less will do. It can be done for a dollar or less in most cases.
 The cans, bottles, utensils, cows and the hands of the milkers must be clean. That means work and care and it is just what we cannot get without bac- terial standards.
 Tn a nutshell, we provide: CD Ger tain minimum requirements without which safe milk cannot be produced; CD we define certain grades and pro- vide that selling a lower grade for a higher one (misbranding) constitutes a violation of the law. If the consuming public wants this ordinance it should 90 inform the city commissioners. The ordinance is of necessity somewhat technical in it's language but it should not be difficult for any dairyman to understand"

The region over which it can be seen covers almost the en- tire Pacific ocean. The moon will pass before the sun over that area

 The settlement of Uncle Sans arid and vacant lands-of which the greater part that remains must be brought to fruition by means of ir- rigation-is one of the most impor- tant problems before the nation to- day It interests the west because it means bringing in more people with the natural increase in produc- tion But the problem is of even greater import to the east, which needs new and greater domestic markets for it's manufactured goods.
 It is conceded that the develop ment of the nations domestic trade is even of greater importance to the future growth and prosperity of the country than the further increase of the foreign commerce.

Allies Take Wheat

Twenty million bushels of whe at is
an enormous quantity, so large, in fact,
as to have an important bearing on the
crop produced in North America, and
that is the quantity that has just been
commandeered or requisitioned by the
British government from the elevators
in Canada. The wheat will be used for
the sustenance of the allied troops now
fighting in Europe. Whether this will
effect the price of wheat seriously in
this county is matter of conjecture,
but those who are familiar with market
conditions do not believe that it will, as
as an immense quantity is shipped
abroad annually under normal con-
ditions.

Had Delightful Trip

Mrs. A. Goodfellow and daughter,
Mable, returned Saturday evening
from their trip to New York City.
where they were guests for week of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bella Sanford. The latter
was formerly Miss Mabel Bradshaw
and was popular teacher in the Clio
public schools. The ladies enjoyed
their trip and found New York very
interesting as well as beautiful city, OBJ
serving particularly its beautiful parks,
cleanliness and freedom from smoke.
On their outbound trip they went via
the scenic route from Albany to New
York, the railroad running along the
banks of the beautiful Hudson river
nearly the entire distance. In this way
they passed through the highlands of
the Hudson, and had splendid views of
West Point and the palisades.

Thumb Jerked Off

Henry Buss, who owns berry farm
near Clio, met with an unusual and very
painful accident last Friday when his
clothing became entangled in a belt
with the result that one of his hands
was drawn to shaft and the thumb
simply pulled off in its entirety. Mr..
Buss has a gasoline engine attached to
feed grinder, pump jack and other
machinery and it was while he was at
tending this that the accident occurred.
1t was all done so quickly that the VIC
tim says it did not hurt greatly just at
the time it happened, and he walked
over and picked up the severed thumb
from the place where it lay on the
floor. AS portion of the bone of the
thumb was left protruding an opera
tion was necessary in order to properly
repair the injury.

Studebaker Efficiency

An event which commanded the wild
est attention in the motor world took
place last week when the nationwide
100000 mile reliability run of Stude-
baker dealers was held. There were
lis entries filed for the event, covering
the entire country, each dealer taking
1916 Studebaker out of his stock to
cover at least $50 miles per day for
four consecutive days. 1t was severe
but convincing test of quality of steels
and workmanship that make for dura-
bility. power and speed. None of the
cars were given any preparation for
the runs beyond oiling and greasing,
filling radiators and gasoline tanks.
The test was intended as demonstra-
tion of the ability of the Studebaker
cars for meeting average conditions, as
they might be found by an automobile
owner. Heavy rains, with snow in por-
tions of the west, established condi-
tions, however, that were somewhat
out of the usual, but each car respond
ed splendidly to every requirement, set.
ting high mark for automobile eff
cheney.
At least one of the cars entered in
this contest passed through Clio, where
greetings were hastily extended to the
local Studebaker garage. Many per-
feet scores were made in this test
which may explain why Studebakers
are considered so favorably here and
why r. r. Knight has been able to sell
eighteen of them during the present
season.

Lost Girl Returns

The people of Flint were much exer-
cised last week Tuesday, over the dis
appearance of Gladys Chaffin, high
school girl, Is years of age, whom it
was thought, might have been victim
of white slavers. 1t was afterward
found that the girl in company with an
other girl, jitney bus driver and a
married man had taken trip first to
Birch Run and then to Detroit. The
girls were located few days later in
Pontiac and brought back home. What
a fountain of misery, dishonor, disease
and death some things are. Ever think
about it? The sad events have come
swiftly enough in the last few months
80 that it ought not to be difficult to
find food for thought.

Alex. Muir Dead

Alexander Muir. we'll known farm
er living four miles north of town, died
Monday afternoon, following a short
illness of acute indigestion. He was II
years of age and was born in Scotland.
When young man he came to Amer
lea, finally settling at Taymouth where
quite a colony of his countrymen had
been established, and where he resided
until seven or eight years ago when he
removed to the home where he passed
away. Mr.. Muir was much esteemed
for his sterling qualities as man and
neighbor and wide circle of friends
will experience keen regret at his pass
ing. He was life long member of the
Masonic order, having been initiated
into it when young man at Glasgow,
Scotland. Mr.. Muir is survived by a
widow and two children the latter be-
ing Alex, of Saginaw, and Mrs. VIM.
Winn, of Flint, all of whom will have
the sympathy of the community in their
affliction. Mr.. Muir was member of
Vienna Lodge, No. 2O5, F. & A. NJ, and
funeral services under auspices of the
lodge were held yesterday, prayer be-
ing given at the residence at 1000
o'clock, followed by services at Tay-
mouth church at 1900 o'clock. Inter-
ment was made in Taymouth cemetery.

HARVEY COFFIN
ATTEMPS SUICIDE
PROBABLY COMMITTED THE ACT
WHILE DEMENTED
Pounded Self in Head with Hammer,
Making Second Attempt Within
aFew Weeks

Harvey Coffin, for many years resi-
dent of Clio, and who has been afflicted
with heart trouble and kidney disease,
for several months, made a desperate
attempt to end his suffering last Sum
day afternoon, at about four o'clock,
when he pounded himself in the head
with claw hammer until he fell to the
floor unconscious.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Coffin
drank a bottle of digitalis, deadly
poison, used in minute quantities as a
heart remedy, at which time only the
prompt discovery of his act, and equal
ly prompt work on the part of his ply
sician in using stomach pump, saved
his life. Since that time. we are told,
he has made frequent threats to end his
life and everything with which he could
accomplish such an act was carefully
kept out of his reach.
Sunday afternoon, however, when
Mr.. Coffin went to the woodshed to get
scuttle of coal he discovered claw
hammer and bringing the implement
into the house sat down in chair
and pounded himself in the head with
it until he fell to the floor unconscious.
Mrs. Coffin was not in the house at the
time, but Mrs. Tiff, who lives nearby,
saw the flying hammer through the
window and gave the alarm. At first
it was thought the unfortunate man
had fractured his skull, but this was
later found not to be the case, and he
has since been gradually recovering.
On the day when he committed this des-
perate act he had spent considerable
time, it is said, looking for his pocket
knife.
Mr.. Coffin has been hard working
man all his life. and it is thought that
his illness has preyed upon his mind
until it has become unsettled, in view
of which, and considering also his sui
cidal attempts, it is not unlikely that he
may be sent to an institution for treat
ment.
