Woman Filler Wins

Miss Ruth Law, Chicago, aviatrix,
started from the latter city, Sunday,
and reached Binghamton, N. Y. seven
hours latter, covering the distance of
500 miles without stop. The average
speed of the flyer was about 70 miles
an hour and she said that a considerable
portion of the fight was made through
snow storms. When Miss Law arrived
at Binghamton she was so thoroughly
chilled that she had to be lifted from
the machine and her face was entirely
coated with ice, Notwithstanding which
she would have continued her flight to
New York City but for the fact that
the gasoline gave out. She continued
her fight Monday covering the distance
of 832 miles in 9 hours and establish
ing a worlds record for long distance
flying.

Cause of Prosperity

Bearing upon the claim that the great
European war has been principal fac
tor in the prosperity now existant in
this country, are the official figures of
the u S. customs office for the port of
New York for the month of Septem-
Der. These show that one half the
total exports, consisted of explosives,
hand grenades and shells amounting to
$40, 900, 900, smokeless powder $40, ,0O0-
600, and various items of ammunition
$40, 900, 900 more, a total of $3.50, 600, 900.
"And in addition, the invoices include
war and destructive tools, directed
against Germany, to the value of many
millions more"
The figures, covering but single
port, give some idea of the vast char
acter of the munitions business. In
Germany the publication of figures
showing that one half of the ammuni-
tion used by the allies comes from the
United States has embittered the
people toward this country very greatly,
as they are unable to reconcile such
action with a spirit of genuine neutrali.

The Annual Fair of st. Mary
Church, Mt. Morris. will be held on
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of next week, Nov 20 and 80,
and Dec. and 2. st. Mary's Fair has
come to be an annual event that is an
ticipated with much pleasure by the
communicates and friends of that thriv-
ing parish, and is always literally pat
ronized. This year the parish will dis
tribute among those in attendance the
following articles: Malleable steel
range, valued at $68.OO, 100 lbs. -four;
20 lbs, bacon; eight or. bottle perfume;
two inner tubes for Ford auto; auto
mobile robe; S. 90 gold piece and gold
watch, all of which articles will be
donated by the enterprising merchants
of Mt. Morris. 1t has been the custom
in former years to serve a Thanksgiv-
ing dinner during the fair, but that
custom will be departed from, or rather
improved upon, this year by the serving
of supper each day the fair is in pro-
gress. The attendance of the public is,
of course, very cordially invited.

Beilharz Was Good

The second number of the High School
Lecture Course, given last Saturday
evening, by Beilharz, the reader, was
one of the most artistic and enjoyable
performances of the kind the editor of
The Messenger has ever witnessed.
Mr.. Beilharz gave reading which told
in condensed way the story of "'The
Hoosier Schoolmaster, Edward Egg!e-
ston's great novel of life in Indiana
during pioneer days. 1t is seldom that
a reader is interrupted in his work by
applause, but this happened several
times as Mr.. Beilharz portrayed the
characters of old Jack Means, Mrs.
Means, their daughter, Mirandy, son,
Bud, Mr.. Pierson, the peg-legged sol
dier of the war of 1912, and others of
the characters in the homely but abb
sorbing story. The characters of Square
Hawkins and Parson Bosaw were por-
trayed with rare art and occasioned
much merriment, thus adding the
requisite spice to an entertainment that
was altogether delightful. Roth num-
bers of the school course thus far given
have-been much above the average and
the enterprise of the boys and girls in
thus providing high class of enter
tainment. is deserving of recognition
manifested in the most liberal patron
age.
These entertainments are not only
exceptionally high grade, but extreme
ly moderate in price. Bear this in mind
when the next one is given and if you
have not heretofore done so, make it a
point to attend.

During the progress of the recent
campaign there was a project on foot
on the part of several local republicans
to have H. Dana Hopkins, of Saginaw,
son of w. r. Hopkins, as one of the
speakers at a republican rally. Be it
known the younger Mr.. Hopkins is a
republican, able and willing publicly to
state his views, despite the fact that
his father is notorious throughout the
county as a democratic war horse. But
William r. in some way became ap-
prised of the plot to have his son play
star part among the hostile host,
right in his home town, and straight
way laid plan to prevent such an af-
front to his personal feelings. The
plan was strenuous one, thoroughly
characteristic of its bold instigator, and
was carried to the point of execution.
On the evening when Dana was to have
spoken, his father had a big touring
car in waiting and with the car were
two strong arm men whose services
cost five dollar bill. The plan was
for the two husky gents to grab off the
young Mr.. Hopkins the minute he
alighted from a car, place him in the
automobile and take him for little
ride that would end at his own door
sometime the following morning. The
plan was peach, and was all ready to
be carried out, but at the last minute
the younger Mr.. Hopkins was obliged
to notify the local committee that it
was impossible for him to come, so the
only fun anyone got out of it was what
came to his father by way of anticipa-
tion and what came to the strong arm
squad which got its five dollars with
out having to work for it.

Lawton T. Hemans Dead

Lawton T. Hemans, Of Mason, chair
man Of the State Railroad Commission,
and twice candidate for governor, who
died last week, was not only one of the
most prominent members of the Dem
ocratic party, but more than that, one
of the most concientious and able Off
cials who ever served the state in an
important capacity. Shortly before his
death, and when that event became a
certainty to him, as it was to those
about him, he dictated statement say
ing that in his every public act he had
been guided solely by sense of respon-
sibility to the people. This was grand
thing to be able to say at the supreme
moment of life. when the record was
complete, and just ahead were the un-
explored shores of eternity. 1t was a
great thing to say because it was true.
and it was great thing for the state
to have had a son who established such
record of service and devotion, to serve
as an inspiration to succeeding genera
tions. L. E. Rowley, known through
out the state as newspaper writer, a
life long friend of Mr.. Hemans, wrote
beautiful eulogy which was read at
the funeral of the latter, a paragraph
of which was as follows:
'Happy the state which can stand
beside the open grave of great man,
without cloud upon its pride at hav-
ing had such son. Happy the people
in whose day and generation such an
example of personal and public virtue
and of manly, lifelong fidelity to every
obligation has been produced. Happy
the age which has possessed citizen
OF such generosity and such heroism, in
in friendship so genial, in integrity so
complete. "

Barn Fame Raised
complete.

On Saturday last Whaley Bros. held
an old fashion raising bee" to erect
the frame for big, gambrel roof barn
under construction on their farm. The
greater number of barns built now-a-
day have frames of comparatively
small timbers, put up in much the same
manner as the ordinary house frame,
but the one which is being built for
Whaley Bros. has a frame of great
hewn timbers, some of them a foot
square and many feet long which re-
quires the services of big crowd Of
lusty men to raise them into position
where they were fastened together with
wooden pins. 1t is quite amazing to see
the number of these timbers, as they
are laid out upon the ground, and equally
surprising to see how each of the diff
ferently shaped parts fits into its ap-
pointed place as the raising proceeds.
The frame for Whaley's barn was fitted
by Dayton Whaley. who is barn
builder of experience, and it is said that
it was so perfectly done that it was
scarcely necessary to use a chisel or
adj while the raising was going on.
About seventy-five of the neighbors of
Mr.. Whaley assisted at the raising, the
intermission at noon being made the
occasion of bountiful dinner, which
was partaken of with zest appropri-
ate to the strenuous work in hand.
of preparing and serving the dinner by
several neighboring ladies', and to these,
as well as to the men who assisted at
the raising, Whaley Bros. beg leave,
through The Messenger, to express
their hearty appreciation.

D0RT BEATS CLIO
IN FOOT BALL GAME
LOCAL TEAM LACKING IN WEIGHT
AND PRACTICE
Gave bort a Good Game and Won
Applause of Big Crowd
In Flint

The football game that Clio played
with Dort last Saturday was rather un-
successful for our boys. In the first
quarter Clio received kick off on her
80 yard line and carried ball back to the
center of the field but being unable to
advance the ball after four downs, the
ball went over. bort, by a succession
of powerful line plunges succeeded in
making touch down just before the
end of the first quarter, but failed to
kick the goal In second quarter Clio
again received kick off but was stopped
before advancing the ball very far
After three downs, Clio being unable to
advance the ball, bort advanced ball
down field without a great deal of
resistance from our boys and made a
touch down after five minutes of play,
but failed to kick the goal. Clio again
received kick off and advanced ball to
our 40 yard line. This ended the first
half and the score was IL to in Dort's
favor. In the third quarter bort kicked
for goal. but failed as usual. Clio
kicked the ball to 25 yard line and bort
carried the ball back to the center of
the field. After five minutes play one
of Oort's back felders made a sensa-
tional run through Clos line for a
touch down. bort kicked for goal but
failed. The people on side line made
fun of Dcrt failing to kick goal. Clio
received kick off and carried ball to
center of the field and by series of
forward passes advanced ball to Dort's
80 yard line. Clio punted and Miller
attempted to tackle bort man as he
tried to catch punt. bort fumbled ball
and Bowmen snatched it out of air and
made clean get away for touch down.
Clio kicked goal and received cheers
from people on side line because they
were the first to kick goal. bort ral-
lied and began an unmerciful attack on
Clos right end, which is weak, and
succeeded in making score of SO to 7.
When you take into consideration that
Clio was playing team equal to Flint
Central High team, which plays
such teams as the Detroit Northwest
ern and Lapeer, you can see the reason
for such score. The Flint team had
more grit and has had more practice
than our team.

Old Correspondent Resigns

After service of many years as cor
respondent at Arbela, first of The Clio
Star and later of The Messenger, Mrs.
l.. V. Murphy has moved away from
that section and has been obliged to
lay aside the duties she has discharged
so faithfully and well. She asks us to
send her The Messenger, as she would
feel lost without its weekly visits. This.
of course, we shall gladly do and at the
same time we would thank her for her
faithful service and extend our best
wishes for her continued health and
prosperity in her new home.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
NEAR At HAND
TWENTY-THREE STATES NOW IN
DRY COLUMN
Believed That National Prohibitory
Amendment Would Be Ratified
At Once

Twenty-three states of the fifty-two
in the Union have now passed state
wide laws prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors, these
states being as follows: Maine, Kar-
sas, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, N. Caro-
lima, S. Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, West
Virginia, Arizona, California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nebras-
ka. Iowa. Oklahoma, Colorado and
Michigan, also the territory of Alaska.
A large proportion of the area of the
remaining states is dry under local
option laws, so that it is safe esti-
mate that three-fourths of the terri
tory of the United States, and possibly
more than that, is under some form of
prohibitory law. In fact, in Nevada
alone is liquor sold throughout the
state. This being true. it is easy TO
see that nation wide prohibitory law
is but little way ahead. Nearly one
half the total number of states have
already outlawed the liquor business; !;
the people of the other states have ex-
pressed their hostility toward it by the
adoption of local option laws. making it
probable that the necessary two thirds
of all of the states will approve ma
tional prohibitory amendment as soon
as it can be submitted to them. As
suming that all of the states that have
adopted prohibitory laws would support
such an amendment. but twelve more
would be necessary to ensure its adop-
ton, and the friends of the measure
claim that it will not be necessary to
wait until this number of states have
passed prohibitory laws. as their legis-
latures would approve of the constitu-
tional amendment in advance of such
action on the part of the electorate. If
these premises are correct the main OBJ
stacle now standing in the way of dry
nation is that of the passage by con-
gress of an act submitting the question
to the legislatures of the several states.

Unparalleled Meaness

A New York artist, who quarreled
with his wife and daughter about the
latter's approaching marriage, commit
ted suicide as e result, and then left a
note bequeathing his dead body to his
daughter as wedding gift. 1t is char
liable to suppose the man was insane,
but if such were not the case he ex-
hibited a meanness almost with q paral.
lei, and his daughter ought not let the
fate of so unnatural parent greatly
to weigh upon her mind or interfere
with her future happines.
