M. A. G. Commencement.

Clio will be honored this year in
having two of her young men, or to be
more correct two young men who are
graduates of her public schools, among
the classes of 1916 at M, A. C. Walter
Knickerbocker, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Knickerbocker, graduates from
the engineering department and Russell
Runnells, son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. A.
Runnells, from the veterinary depart
ment. Both young men have enjoyed
extraordinary high standings in their
classes and will enter upon the actual
practice of their professions with very
bright propects indeed. Walter will
enter the employ of the Consumers
Power Co., at Flint. and Russell will
engage in practice as a veterinarian at
home. The parents of both boys went
to Lansing, Tuesday. to be in attend
ance upon commencement. The Mes
senger would tender gratulations
and best wishes.

markable success of this former Oak
land county boy in business circles and
it is forgone conclusion that folks
back home" are going to do all they
can to aid in placing him in the exeouS
tive Office at Lansing; for, as the Det-
roit News says, There is an ap-.
peal in the record of Mr.. Leland. who
as farmer boy, worked his way
through college, came to the city and
achieved success.
But no one here need pin his faith on
these grounds alone. for Frank B.
Leland is eminently well qualified for
the position of governor of this great
state. Experienced in finance and
business. possessing educational train
ing represented by two degrees from
the state university, still retaining =
warm place in his heart for the farm
ing life and interests from which he
sprung, he combines qualities seldom
presented in gubernatorial candidates.
AS president of the United Savings
Bank of Detroit, he commands the con-
fidence and respect of the solid business
interests of the state, and as president
of the Detroit tuberculosis Sanitorium
he has engaged in war against the
white plague that has made the entire
state his debtor. Eight years regent
of the U. of M, handling the expendi-
lures of millions of dollars, shows the
capacity of the man as well as indicat-
ing that he has had exceptional oppor-
tunities for studying the business meth
ods of the state and its institutions.
! He comes not before the public forum
as an untried neophyte but as a sue.
cessful business man of practical ex-
perience. From the standpoint of
political expediency, the party which
wishes to again control the reins of
state government must consider Leland.
He comes in the unique character of
man on whom all Wayne county re-
publicans can combine and with the
endorsement of all the press of the
/
call as ever occurring in the past. For,
in harmonizing Wayne. he has accom-
plished what has been long thought an
impossibility.
Nor does his support, seem to be
dependent upon the heavy vote of the
metropolis. although that is bound tn
be a great factor in his. favor at the
primaries. He has large following in
the state as evidenced when he was
nominated for regent of the U. of n.
despite the opposition of factional
organizations in Wayne.
Leland's strong personality, varied
business experience, high educationst
qualifications and commendable record
| in public and private life will make
him a mighty potent factor in the
coming campaign.
If nominated his election is assured.
IL elected Michigan will have COVER
nor second to no state in the Union.

Closes Successful School

The following item taken from the
Ypsilanti Record will be of interest to
the many Clio friends of the young
lady who Is mentioned so compliment
tarilly:
"Miss Laura Marvin closed very
successful year in the Allen School,
Friday, with picnic dinner and de-
lightful social time. Two of the fea-
lures were a May-pole and peanut

enjoyed. Among the guests were rep

position in their schools, but she ex-

Mt. Morris schools, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Maginn, have long had a
reputation for efficience second to none
in the county. There is feeling of
comradeship in the schools, coupled
with an appreciation of the benefits
that come from work, which results in
practical scholarship, fitting the pupils
for the real activities of life. We know
this to be true and therefore feel it to
be consistent to once more extend con-
gratulations to Superintendent Maginn,
the faculty Of the schools. and the
citizens of Mt. Morris as well.

Village Taxes.

Owing to some delay, the causes for
which are not known to US, the village
tax roll has not as yet been placed in
the hands of the treasurer for collec-
ton. We are assured. however, the
rate will be one dollar per hundred. which
is one-third less than last year. As
soon as the roll is placed in the hands
of the treasurer, and the necessary re-
ceipts can be made out the public will
be notified that taxes can be received.

look with much favor upon the guber-

Leland was born on a farm in Rose
township, this county IN fact for a
number of years has owned and oper-

Oakland county should have more than
a passing interest in his candidacy. We

Train Will Stop

Following the publication of the
article in The Messenger relative to
discontinuing the service of Train No.
ut Clio, Postmaster J. ]. Jones wrote
Receiver Paul H. King in protest about
the matter and enclosed a copy of the
article. The answer which is appended
hereto, shows that the railroad COM
pany really did contemplate the dis
continuance of service by that train at
this point, but it also bears the cheer
ing intelligence that that intention has
been abandoned. Following is the
letter:
"Mr. James j. Jones,
Clio. Michigan.
My Dear Sir,
| am in receipt of your
letter of the 5th inst. with reference to
train No. s from Saginaw to Detroit.
In reply will say that have taken
the matter up with our operating offic-
ers and l find that while it was thought
it would be necessary to discontinue
stopping train No. 6 at Clio in order to
make connections at Toledo, we have
found way to still make the time and
provide for stop there. | am very
glad, indeed, that this can be worked
out this way and that you wrote me
calling the matter to my attention.
With best wishes, remain
Very truly yours,
Paul H. King
Operating Receiver. "

When Eggs Are Highest.

How TO get eggs In late fall and early winter
when they are highest is serious problem with
most poultrymen.
Taking IL for granted that the pullets were
Matched early and have made good growth during
the summer season, we would get the entire flock
Of spring pullets yearngs and all into winter
quarters in September, That is, we would have
the poultryhouse and yards put in order for win
Ter then so there will be no Encouragement to
disturb the flock or In any way disarrange its
daily routine or habits during late October, Novem
Der and December, when We most desire the eggs
One OF the principal factors for securing high
egg production in the poultry flock is exercise. A
hen kept closely cooped will not lay as many
eggs during season. she will take on fat instead
and become unhealthy. Give the hens plenty OF
range-and thsn get larger basket in which to
carry the eggs to market

Single Comb Black leohorns

Not many years ago this breed was little known
to breeders. They have made rapid strides and
are becoming very popular. The heavy Mnorca
combs high tall very dark legs and purple instead
Of black plumase have alI been bred out and today
the Black l.eghorns are as good in slope as the
other Leghorns Their combs are equally as small
and neat as the whites or browns. They carry
their tails low and well spread Their legs show
a good yellow color together with good green
sheen to the plumage.
Among many fanciers black is desired color
and among these admirers and fanciers the Black
Leehorn in many instances. Is replacing Its brown
white sister They are persistent layers Of large
chalkwhite eggs and there's no reason why they
should lack popularity any longer.

POULTRY NOTES
Selecting PuIlets.

Net every poultryman can select a laying hen
by her appearance. II Is true students of poul-
try hnshandry are generally able TO do this. but
few farmers and poultrymen are unless they have
given the subject some attention.
The following suggestions should be Of help TO
you In enumerating some of the points in the
making of good laying hen. But these points
viii need to be verified. That Is, you must prac-
tlce II you would become good Judge or at least
learn how to select your own pullets for layers.
And 1t will be necessary for you to know how to
select II you are to improve your flock.
Judging poultry Is said to be finer art than
the selection Of other farm animals, but the man
or woman who picks pulets with fine head.
alert eyes and comb, face and wattes of fine tex
tnre has taken the first step toward increased
egg production. Good pulets should stand square
their feet. with legs wide apart with the front
end of the body slightly higher than the posteror
end and with long back and tail carried rather
high. The body should be wedgeshaped, yielding
ample room for the reproductive and digestive
organs.
