AN APPEAL

The VIC interests OF the whole
country are pouring thier money
into this State for the purpose of
defeating woman suffrage. The
WON en- of our State and al! fair
minded men. should rise in their
might and snite this monster
machine that dares, in its wiley
way, to use every avenue possible
to attempt to prejudice the voters
against granting 70 the women Of
South dakota the right Of the
ballot. II the voters Of this State
are to be influenced in their de-
cisions, why not take the opinions
Of the great men Of our Nation.
They are openly endorsing this
movement. President Wilson
believes in it: Judge Hughes, Re-
publican candidate tor the Pre-
sidencv, is a strong advocate Of it..
All political parties, both National
and State, have a woman suffrage
plank in their platform.x
Our State Universal Franchise
League, which has an organization
in nearly every county and
numbers its members b. the
thousands. is not monied organiza-
ton, since it is composed Of the
women Of South Dakota who are
not women Of wealth. We have no
large treasury with which to meet
these insidious attacks, and for
that reason, We are appealing to
men and Women to do all in their
power, bv word, and deed and
gift, to purge u elections from
the influence Of these outside in
terests, and our especial appeal to
the men Of our State is that they
vote YES on Amendment
Number s, which grants the right
Of suffrage to women.

Wounded by Shell

Clio now has her first victim of the
war, the same being Master Billie
Huff, captain of the boys drill corps,
which is practising to give an exhibi-
ton on Decoration Day. 1t happened
that last Saturday afternoon Master
Billie came upon some rather promis-
ing ammunition that had been planted
in the garden by the senior Huff, the
latter having catched it, in all probable
ity so that he could dig it up and get
away at any time without causing
troublesome inquiries on the part of his
wife. But anyway, the young soldier
thought he ought to test some of it,
before allowing his pa to place too
much dependence in it, so he withdrew
the shot from cartridge put the re-
mainder in paper box and touched
match to it. He got results right
away, because the powder made a big
"poof!' and straightway Master Billie
became battle SCARED veteran, one
side of his face and one hand being
quite badly burned. That he escaped
without serious injury to his eyes was
a rare streak of good luck, and Billie
says the only good thing about it is
that he looks like sure enough soldier
now.

Crop Report

Following is condensed statement
of the condition of Michigan crops, as
taken from the report of the Secretary
of State. dated May 6. At the time
this statement was issued oats were
given very favorable report, but the
continued wet weather since that time
has seemed to impair to very consid-
cradle extent the accuracy of the pre-
diction:
The condition of wheat in the state is
81, in the southern counties 7s, in the
central counties 80, in the northern
counties 88 and in the Upper Peninsula
95.
Rye averages few points better
than wheat throughout the state.
Fruit correspondents report a very
promising prospect for an abundant
crop of fruit in all sections of the state
where the business is given proper
care.
The average monthly wages with
board is S28 Sc in the state, S29. 72 in
the southern counties, $28. 20 in the
central counties, S27. SO in the northern
counties and $29.O9 in the Upper Pen
insula.
The average wages by the day with
out board is $1.74 in the state. 81. .S2 in
the southern counties, ST. SO in the GEN.
trail counties, $1.60 in the northern
counties and Sl.81 in the Upper Pen
insula.
The average wages in the state last
year. by the month with board was
S27.0S and the average wages by the
day without board was $1.64.

Boschek Gave Thriller.

Many Of our readers will recall AL
Boschek, who came here with Williams
the Fenton aviator, when the latter
alighted with his flying machine in the
fields south of town. few months ago.
At that time Boschek wasn't a sure
enough aviator, (maybe he isn't yeti
but he is learning, and it appears, his
eddication is nearly finished. For some
time past he has been essaying the
''loop the loop" act and the other day,
while soaring about in the upper air at
Fenton he accomplished the hair raising
feat for the first time. And it was
some hair raiser, too. for after looping
the tarnation loop and flying upside
down his machine refused to right it
self and fell several hundred feet before
he could get control of it again.
Here's hoping he always has equally
good luck.

Clos First Airship

Pretty nearly everyone, we believe,
has gazed upward into the big blue
dome and wondered if he should ever
see an airship, or mayhap myriads of
them, traversing the immense and
trackless expanse. Probably he thought
he should see something like that, but
mans mastery of the air has been slow
and difficult, and while the airship has
been practical machine for ten or a
dozen years, it was not until Saturday
that the residents of Clio, saw one of
the big man made birds sailing over
their town. The machine passed south
ward at about half past twelve and re-
turned north later in the afternoon,
flying very high and very swift and
making an interesting spectacle. The
aviator was Don Magee, of Saginaw,
young man who is said to have built
his own machine.

LITTLE BOY RUN OVER
BY LAND ROLLER
VICTIM SON OF MR.. AND MRS.
ARCHIE BACON
Heavy Machine Passed Over Entire
Body Notwithstanding Which He
is Expected to Recover.

Leslie, the % months old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Archie Bacon, who reside two
miles west and five miles south of Clio,
in Mt. Morris township. met with very
serious mishap, last Saturday afternoon
at about five O'Clock. when he was run
over by heavy iron land roller. The
little lads father had just started to
hitch the team onto the roller, having
put the end of the tongue into the
neckyoke, when the little boy and his
brother Theodore, the latter aged four,
unoticed by their father, came up from
behind the roller. The older of the
boys took hold of the lines, which had
been thrown back across the implement
and caused the team to back up. He
got out of the way himself but the
little fellow, despite the efforts of the
father to stop the team, was knocked
down and the heavy roller passed over
his body for its entire length, from his
feet to his chin. The parents, of course,
realized that the child's injuries were
serious and made every effort to get
physician, but for time every physi-
clan seemed to be away from home and
their suspense was agonizing, Finally
a doctor was found and the little boys
injuries received needful attention. 1t
was found that he had sustained frac-
ture of the left leg and the bones of
the jaws had been pushed out of place,
but strange to say there appear to
be no serious injuries of the in
ternal organs. The doctor repaired the |
injuries and the little boy now seems
likely to make nice recovery, being |
just at that age where the bones are
yielding and the whole body favorable
to recuperation. The doctor says that if
the accident had happened to an old
person there would have been little
nope of avoiding fatal result. The
little boy is grandson of Mrs. J. j.
Bacon, of this place.

When you walk along the street and.
see the cutters strewn with refuse. it,
looks bad.
When you see broken glass around
under foot it is pure negligence, and is,
both bad and dangerous.
When you see kitchen garbage
dumped into the back yard or tossed
over the fence, it looks bad and smells
worse.
When you see vacant property lit--
tered with debris of every nature, it
too, looks bad-is offensive to the mind
as well as to the eye.
When you see back yard Uttered
with the accumulation of months and
of years, it looks worse than bad.
Just some suggestions. Now is thes

the character of the children under nv
charge, particularly so as regards their
progress in school, and knowing that
no boy can do good work who is ad-
dicted to the use of tobacco, especially
in the form of cigarettes, want to
call the attention of any who may be
interested to the fact that the sale or
gift of tobacco to children under six
teen is prohibited by law and severe
penalty provided for its infraction. In
view of these facts, l wish to give due
notice that / shall see to it that prose
cution is started against all violators of
this law in cases where proper evidence
can be secured.

DIRGE FOR A SOLDIER

A Famous Memorial Day Poem
By GEORGE II. BOXER
TLOSE his eyes; his work Is done!
~ What to him Is friend or foeman,
Rise OF moon, or set OF sun,
Hand OF man, or kiss OF woman2
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he1 He cannot know.
Lay him low!
As man may, he fought his fight,
Proved his truth by his endeavor.
Let him sleep In solemn night,
Sleep forever and forever.
LsHhim low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? He cannot know.
Lay him low!
Fold him In his country's stars,
Roll the drum and fire the voIIey
What to him are all our wars?
What but death bemocIing folly?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he2 He cannot know.
Lay him lowl
Leave him to Gods watching eye;
Trust him to the hand that made him.
Mortal love weeps Idly by;
God alone has power to aid him.
Lay him low, lay him low.
In the clover or the sn0wl
What cares hel he cannot know.
Lay him lowl

CLIO SCHOOL FACULTY
HAS BEEN SELECTED
SEVERAL CHANGES HAVE BEEN
MADE AMONG TEACHERS
Additional Teacher Will be Provided in
High Room And School Will Prob
ably be on University List

The Board of Education has practi-
cally decided upon the faculty for the
Clio schools, next year and contracts
have been entered into with the teach
ers composing it. For some time there
has been considerable agitation looking
to the placing of the schools upon the
approved list of the State University,
and now, with the advantages that will
accrue from the possession of the mod
ern and commodious new building, and
through the addition of one more in
structor in the High School. this seems
likely to be accomplished. This will be
a decided advantage to the schools, as
1t will place them upon an equal foot
ing with the best schools in the state,
and will secure for graduates admission
to the University of Michigan and other
colleges of equal standing without the
necessity Of taking preparatory
course. The faculty of the schools for
the ensuing year will be as follows:
w. ID. White, superintendent.
Miss Nina Tice, principal
Mrs. Kent McLane, Latin, German
and Languages.
Kent McLane, Seventh and Eighth
Grades.
English, Ito be supplied).
Grades:
Mrs. w. d. White.
Miss Grace Lash.
Miss Flora Haven.
Miss Mabel Blackney, kindergarten.
Miss Nina Tice, the new principal, |
lives in Memphis, Mich, and comes to
Clio with the highest recommendations.
Kent McLane is not unknown here,
having at one time been student in
the Clio Schools, but for a number of
years past has taught in the schools of
Tuscola County. He will act as ath-
letic coach in addition to his other
duties, thereby filling long felt want
in that important branch of school life.
Miss Grace Lash, who will teach in the
room formerlypresided over in an able
manner by Miss Rose Smith, comes to
the Clio schools with the highest recon-
mendations. Her home is at Atlas.
The board at first intended to con-
tinue an instructor in music, as that
has been very popular department
during the present year, but so much
difficulty was experienced in getting a
teacher that it was thought best to
abandon the plan for the present.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
every patron of the schools will look
forward to superior results next year.
The schools are now organized nicely,
everybody, both faculty and students, :
is getting down to business, and with
the advantages that will come from the /,
new building we may confidently ex- !:
pect that Clio is going to have the best !.
school in her history. !.
AS the retiring members of the fac
llty are all fine looking, young, unmar- '
ried ladies, we haven't dared make in :
Iuiries as to their plans for the future,
put we do venture to say that the !.
Misses Dynes, Barrus, Uptegraf and =.
Smith have been universally regarded :
rot only as splendid and conscientious :
eachers, but as charming and help .
ul force in the social life of the town, !,
md their many friends here will wish :
or them all possible success and happi- :
ess, in whatever place or sphere their y
'lans or pleasure may place them in "
he future. .

Styles

Some people think of
style as being dressed up
more than usual. In
reality style means moth
ing more than. neatness
and modern ideas in cut.
Mems styles don't
change SO rapidly as
women's. But there's
a marked satisfaction in
knowing you're up-to
date, nevertheless.
Clothcraft styles are
modern but not extreme.
The conservative man
can find a serviceable
business suit in Cloth
craft as readily as the
Beau Brummel will find
a snappy model.
The prices suit every

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1916-09-15

That large participation fuliills in a
measure the prediction of the spon
sors of the law that the primary will
encourage a larger proportion Of the
electorate to take part in the work of
selecting the candidates than was the
usual case under the caucus-cOnven-
ton system. Moreover. it gave the
voters free and untrammeled oppor-
tunity to express their preferences rs
among several candidates. In other
words. It permitted them to keep
their finger on their own affairs rath-
or than to delegate the work to n de-
finite few who perhaps could not al
ways sense the desires Of their con-
stitucnts and who might be led astray
by oXuancous considerations. The
voters were able to keep grip on
their own affairs in way not so
easily possible Nnder other arrange
mcnts. So. taking all things into
reckoning one must incline TO the be-
lief that the Vermont primary law
worked out successfully in its first
real demonstration, 1t Is yet to be
seen whether the law will lose its use
