Annual Bank Meeting

The annual meeting of the Clio State
Bank was held Tuesday afternoon, at
which time the same officers and di-
rectors who have served during the
past year were reelected for the en-
suing year. The bank has done a
profitable business during the past fis-
cal year and the sound and conservative
yet courteous and consderate methods
that have been employed make it an
institution in which the people of this
vicinity may find cause for both pride
and confidence. A statement published
elsewhere in our columns shows the
bank to have assets in excess of 1922, :
600. 90. showing which has never been
excelled in the history of the institu-
ton.

PROF. WHITE OFFERS
NIGHT SCHOOL
WILL GIVE TIME GRATIS IF STU
DENTS DESIRE
Arithmetic, Grammar, Civics and Agri-
culture are the Courses Under
Consideration

Prof. w. d. White, head of Clio pub
lie schools, recognizing the fact that
many young men and women in this viii
lage and vicinity have been denied.
through various causes, the opportunity
of securing such education as is essen
tial to their usefulness and prosperity,
generously offers to give his time to the
supplying of this need if there is mani
tested proper amount of interest on
the part of prospective students.
The plan under consideration compre-
hends the holding of night school. at
the school building, about two evenings
each week, to which would be welcomed,
without cost. all boys and girls and men
and women who are desirous of having
better education, and are willing to
earnestly cooperate to that end The
school would. Mr.. White says, be purely
a business institution, and only those
who would work and accomplish some
thing for themselves would be received
This is not to say that the student need
have any considerable education or
marked brilliance to start with, on the
contrary, the school would be particu-
larly for those who have been denied
the privilege of schooling, but it means
that the student must come with an
earnest desire for help and a purpose to
work and learn.
The branches which it is proposed to
teach, if the school is started, are those
which everyone needs in every day life
arithmetic, grammar, civics (meaning
study of government. and the essen
tials of intelligent and patriotic citizen
ship and possibly few other correla-
ted subjects. If there appears de-
mand for it the elemental principles Of
scientific agriculture will also be taught
and instruction given in the classifica-
tion of soils, seed selection and grading,
entomology (nsect pests). milk testing,
etc., etc.
Any young man or woman, any farmer
or mechanic who would be interested in
school of this kind would find well
come in this school, and to the end that
public sentiment on the subject may be
ascertained, all who are interested are
requested to communicate with Prof.
White.

WILLIAM LOvElESS
HURT At C0NDENSERY
HEAVY KEC FELL ON HEAD FRAC.
TURING SKULL
Injured Man Taken to Hurley Hospital
Where Injuries Were Found
Not Serious

Last Saturday evening at about 7:3O
o'clock two or three short blasts were
sounded by someone on the whistle of
the condensery. and shortly afterward
parties going over to the factory to find
out the cause of the alarm, met young
Chris. Coffin, who informed them that
Will Loveless had fallen in some way,
while in the building, and had been
severely injured.
Investigation showed that Loveless
was, indeed, badly injured, being un-
conscious and his head lying in big
pool of blood which flowed from a
wound in the side of his head and from
his ears. 1nasmuch as no one seemed
to know how the man came to be in
jured and the character of the injuries
might indicate violence, Deputy Sheriff
E. l.. Powers was summoned, took note
of the circumstances and questioned
young Coffin. Later, it was found that
Loveless had been carrying keg in the
dark and had stumbled over something
and fell, the keg evidently alighting on
his Uranium, causing excessive hemor-
rhage and semi-consciousness. DIR.
Goodfellow, who had been called, found
evidences of fracture of the skull and
consequently directed that the injured
man be taken to Hurley Hospital where
he could have the best of care and
treatment.
Examination by the surgeons at the
hospital and subsequent developments
seem to indicate that Loveless was not
seriously hurt and will rapidly recover
from his injuries. He has been en-
ployed about the factory ever since
building operations began several
months ago and at the time he was in
jured $5s. 90 in cash was found upon his
person.

Miserable Thievery

Miss Mildred Goodrich was so unfor-
tunate, last Saturday, as to lose her
handbag containing $500 in cash.
which was stolen from the residence Of
her aunt. Mrs. E. Russell, in Flint,
where Miss Goodrich is making her
home. The handbag had been left
hanging on the wall in a bedroom of
the Russell home and Miss Goodrich.
who was on a shopping trip down town
telephoned her aunt to bring it down to
her. The latter, on looking in the
place designated, found that the hand
bag was missing and all subsequent
search for it proved unavailing. The
police were notified and made an inves-
tigation, but were unable to find any
clue that might lead to the discovery
of the thief. A glass door in the rear
of the residence gives view of the
place where the handbag hung and it is
thought that some tramp who came to
this door in quest of food, saw the arti-
Gle and quickly helped himself to it.
Strange to say, watch and other arti-
cles of value, lying on dresser, were
undisturbed. Miss Goodrich's many
friends in Clio will sympathize deeply
with her in her misfortune, as the con-
tents of her purse represented her
savings for several weeks.

RECEIVER PAUL KING
TO TELL OF P. N.
SERIES OF TALKS TO PUBLIC BE-
GINS NEXT WEEK
Official Will Endeavor to Show That
Road 10 Deserving of Cordial
Earnest Support

On the theory that the people of
Michigan have a direct interest in the
fate OF the Pere Marquette Railroad,
and are entitled to know the plans and
policies under which every effort is be-
ing made to rehabilitate this big trans
portation system, Paul H. King, oper-
ating receiver, has prepared series of
advertisements which will appear as
"Pere Marquette Talks" In these
talks Mr.. King will give his views re-
garding the problems and needs of the
railroad as he sees them after care
full study of the conditions.
Publicity of this character is new
thing for Michigan railroad. The one
big reason why Mr.. King is making
these talks, he says, is to bring the
people and railroad into closer touch.
and to emphasize the Importance of CO.
operation for mutual benefit. Mr.
King has been in charge of the railroad
since June 1914, and with the active
support of every member of the organi-
zation has been working to make the
railroad "go"-that is. provide means
for its proper maintenance to give good
service. An earnest effort is being
made to bring about reorganization
of the railroad on a stable basis, and in
that connection it needs the support of
the people whose transportation agent
it is. The receiver believes the people
served by the Pere Marquette under
stand that if the railroad can be made
to prosper as ''going concern" it will
be better able to furnish them the kinC
of service which will aid them in the
development and progress of theii
respective communities, and that they
will, therefore, appreciate an exposi
tion of its conditions and needs to en-
able them intelligently to assist il
working out its problems. The frs
"talk" will run in our issue of Jan. 81

AS has been said, Mr.. Struble had
been in comparatively good health, but
on Friday morning last, he complained
of being i'll and a physician was called
to attend him. The latter made care
full examination, and while Mr.. Struble
complained of continual pain in his
chest, the doctor was unable to discover
any symptoms that seemed to be par
ticularly alarming. This condition con-
tinued until about 500 o'clock Satur-
day evening, when Mr.. Struble's mother
noticed that his breathing had become
abnormal and hurriedly summoned the
doctor. The latter lives but a few
doors away and Immediately responded,
but by the time he reached the bedside
of his patient the latter had passed
away. The cause of death was aneu-
rism of the aorta, in plain terms rup-
ture of the large artery leading from
the heart. condition beyond the power
of human skill to relieve.
David Struble was born in Pennsyl-
vania, June %, l847, where his family
resided until he was about six months
of age when they removed to New
York City where they made their home
for seven years. Following this they
came to Orion. Mich, where they lived
little less than two years, then to
Tuscola county, where they resided
about three years, thence coming to
Clio. 1t will thus be seen that Mr..
Struble had been a resident of this
town since his thirteenth year. He had
been married twice, his first wife dy-
ing about six months after marriage.
and five years later he was married to
Miss Caroline Schlosser, who passed
away few years ago. For the past
year or more Mr.. Struble had resided
with his venerable mother, Mrs. A. E.
Wisner, at whose home his death oc-
Cured, as above stated, on Jan. 8,
1916. The relationship existing be-
tween mother and son was mutually of
the most devoted character and the
mother, in her peculiarly sad bereave-
ment, will have all the consolation that
can spring from the hearts of many
sympathizing friends. Besides his
mother. Mr.. Struble is survived by one
brother, Albern, of Mt. Pleasant, and
one granddaughter, Miss Villette Stru-
BILE, who resides in Flint
For many years Mr.. Struble was en-
gagged in the live stock and meat busi-
ness in Clio, where he enjoyed splen-
did reputation for enterprise and integ-
rity. He was also esteemed as good
husband and father, devoted son and
a conscientious, public spirited citizen.
In 1864, when but IL years of age, Mr..
Struble enlisted in the 10Th Mich. Inf
and served his country until the close
Of the Civil war. He was a member of
the q. A. R., of Vienna Lodge, No. 205,
F. & A. M, the o. E. S., and The Mac
cabees. He had also been, for several
years, a member of the Methodist
Protestant Church.

which the deceased was held, were con-

Deceased Had Lived in Clio for More

This community was painfully sad
dened and shocked last Saturday even

that David Struble had suddenly passed
to the great beyond. Mr.. Struble was
one of the best known men in Clio,
where he had been familiar figure for
many years, and the fact that he was
stricken while apparently enjoying
good health. and with prospect of
many years of life before him, rendered
his passing extraordinarily painful to
his friends and acquaintances.
