Diekema Looms Bigger

Withdrawal of l.. d. Dickinson, of
Charlotte, from the Republican guber-
material race gives added impetus to
the campaign of western Michigan's
candidate, former Congressman Gerrit
j. Diekema. of Holland. Mr.. Diekema,
who had been trotting in second place
from the beginning, has taken sud-
den jump owing to several ill-advised
moves on the part of the Sleeper in
terests on the east side of the state.
Several handicaps to the Holland
mans success have been wiped out and
the fact that he is being universally
touted in Wayne county as second
choice to Leland and that he is going to
carry the upper peninsula by big mar
gin seem to have put him way in the
lead among the field of gubernatorial
candidates who face the starter Satur-
day when the petitions are in. At
least two important factions who were
opposing Diekema under misappre-
hension now are solidly lined up in his
support. Grand Rapids Press.

A Statement.

Feeling that the people of Clio, who
knew and loved Leland, should know
about the matter, we desire to state
that while in Detroit he received the
best medical assistance we could pro-
cure and, of course, the best care we
knew how to provide. The advice of
the best specialists was secured and
everything that promised improvement
for him was tried. While he was not
in good health for several years, he
did. following the operation at Sag
NAV, accept light employment in De-
troit, but only because that course was
recommended by physicianswh thought
it would divert his mind and possibly
be means of improvement. Delay in
the delivery of telegram made it inn
possible for US to reach Clio until Tues
day evening, instead of Wednesday, as
appeared in the article in last week s

Very respectfully,

Vastness of Grand Canyon

Few persons can realize on a first
view of the Grand Canyon that it is
more than mile deep and from to
10 miles wide. The cliffs descending
to its depths form succession of huge
steps, each 300 to 500 feet high, with
steep rocky slopes between. The cliffs
are the edges of hard beds of limestone
or sandstone; the intervening slopes
mark the outcrops of softer BEDS This
series of beds is more than $500 feet
thick, and the beds lie nearly horizontal.
Far down in the canyon is broad shelf
caused by the hard sandstone at the
base of this series, deeply trenched by
a narrow inner canyon cut a thousand
feet or more into the underlying
granite. The rocks vary in color
from white and buff to red and pale
green. They present marvellous var
iety of picturesque forms, mostly on a
titanic scale, fashioned mainly by ero-
sion by running water, the agent which
has excavated the canyon. GU. s.

Saginaw Races.

The big eastern Michigan horse races

are attracting even more attention
than the banner races that were given
here the week of July 4th, when sever
al worlds records were smashed and
the best half mile meeting ever held in
Michigan was pulled off. The entries
for next weeks races closed Tuesday
and show that there will be $50 horses
at the track by Saturday night. Nearly
81, 600 in purses will be given. The
grand circuit is racing in the east and
many of the mile ring campaigners have
left that circuit and joined the short

large saving in shipments. Such horses

all able to travel under 2:l0, are at the
track ready for the 2:0s pace. The

Prophecy

The price of Fords has been cut TO $500 Neks
Item.
They soon will be as thick as flies
On summer cottage apple pies,
They'll be as cheap as hair pins and as
quick to go astray,
The grocer on the job and wise
Will casually advertise
This is the place to buy your Fords-
we get 'em fresh each day."
The wives will order 'em by phone,
The baby have one of his own
To cut his little teeth upon the hickory
steering wheel.
The Standard Oil-considered mean
Will give 'em with it's gasoline,
And pile up dividends upon its profits
from the deal.
The streets will be alive with them,
A swarming teeming hive with them:
The peddlers load their rigs with them
and sell them by the peck
Each family will have to fix
A storage shed with room for six,
And We shall see the day when they
park 'em triple deck.
The woman who comes up to wash
Our clothes each week (this is no JOSH
Will drive her Henry to the door and
park it on the lawn.
The tramp that begged his daily board
Will ask for our discarded Ford
And grumble if it's not equipped
With, starter, lights and horn.
The kids will go to school with them
Will tinker and will fool with them.
They will be used as favors
By the women at their teas:
No church or lodge will rattle EN-
There is no way to battle EN-
The town will be as thick with 'em
AS Fido is with feas.
The time will come when man can give
A Ford to every relative.
And let 'em drive themselves about
And serve their own desires,
And in that happy period, then
We all can be contented when
The most expensive thing about
The cars will be the tires.
And who can tell when comes the day
When Fords are almost given away
And everybody owns the car
So widely used and joshed
Upon the streets there may be seen
A Ford that's spick and span and clean
And shows some signs of having been
Occasionally washed.

Lightning Burns Barns.

During the severe electrical storm
last Sunday evening the large barn on
the farm of Zack Whaley, four miles
southwest of town, was struck by
lightning and completely destroyed by
the resultant fire. The barn contained
II acres of hay and twenty-five acres
of wheat. Fortunately all the stock
IVES in pasture, with the exception of
one horse, which was gotten out safe
ly. The barn was struck about 500
o'clock and the members of the family
were watching the storm and saw the
lightning stroke which did the damage.
The loss was partly covered by insur-
ance.

State Fair Tickets.

Parties designing to attend the State
Fair, which will be held Sept. Ala, in

trouble of procuring tickets at the
crowded ticket booths, and save l5c on

in advance at The Messenger Office. The
tickets are now on sale and will be un-

The same storm which resulted in
the destruction of the Whaley barn
also caused the loss of splendid new
ly built barn on the farm of A. A.
Bray, two miles west of Mt. Morris,
this building like the other, being
struck by lightning and destroyed by
fire. The barn, which was one of the
largest in this vicinity, had two silos
attached, and contained 600 bushels of
last years crop of wheat, besides all of
the hay and grain crops that had been
gathered this year. Several head of
young cattle which were in the barn
were also burned. The loss is estimat-
ed at about 81, 600, partially covered by
insurance.

Milk Industry Booming

Monday evening the Detroit Cream
cry Company shipped to Detroit from
its Clio plant 49l cans of condensed
milk, the largest shipment of this prod
uct ever made from this point. Gen.
eral Superintendent Cobane, of Detroit,
has been working in this territory and
bought out the Richfield, Blackmer and
Christensen cheese factories, hence
the large receipts of milk which despite
the unfavorable condition of pasturage
have amounted to more than twenty
tons daily. In order to facilitate the
shipment of the condensed milk, two
baggage cars are now left on the sid
ing here into which the milk is loaded
and which contain the empty cans on
the return trip. This arrangement
avoids long delay for the train which
has heretofore been obliged to wait
while the cans were being loaded and
unloaded. The fair spirit of the De.
troit Creamery Company was made
manifest last month, when they volun.
tarily granted their patrons an advance
of l0c per hundred pounds. The com
pany has had no little trouble and suf
fered considerable loss in the past
through the milk not being properly
cooled when in the producers hands, but
patrons are generally coming to under
stand that this is imperative and con
ducive to their own profits as well a:
those of the company.
