Hand Cut With Axe

Roy McCorkle, of Birch Run town.
ship, was brought to Clio yesterday to
have hand dressed which had been
terribly cut with an axe. 1t appears
that McCorkle and companion were
engaged in splitting four foot wood and
just as McCorkle reached downward
toward stick his partner struck at it
with his axe. The result was that the
bit of the axe went clean through the
thick of McCorkle's hand, completely
severing bones, arteries and muscles.
A local surgeon dressed the wound and
is hopeful that Mr.. McCorkle will COM
pletely regain the use of the injured
hand.

INSPECTOR
PRAISES CLIO SCHOOLS
WILL RECOMMEND SCHOOLS FOR
UNIVERSITY LIST
Out OF Fifty-four Schools Inspected
Only Two Equalled Those
of Clio

Prof. Edmonson, state public school
Inspector of the University of Michigan,
paid the schools of Clio an official visit
Wednesday afternoon for the purpose
of passing upon their eligibility to en-
try upon the accredited list of the Uni
versity, and his judgment in the mat
ter should be source of pride and sat
isfaction to every citizen in the district.
The representative of the university
spent the entire afternoon looking
through the building and listening to
recitations in the class rooms and at
the conclusion of his visit expressed
his warm approval of the entire estab-
lishment. He said the building was in
splendid condition, the heating system
modern and effectual and that the
teaching force, so far as his observa-
tion went, was exceptionally competent.
The school spirit-the enthusiasm of
the scholars-Prof. Edmonson said, was
first-class. Summing up his investiga-
tion he gave this splendid endorse ment
that out of fifty-two schools visited
during the year he had found none su-
perior to the Clio schools and only two
which were equal to them.
1t will require formal action on the
part of the authorities of the university
to place the Clio schools on the accred-
tied list, but in view of the finding of
Prof. Edmonson, there can be no doubt
this will speedily be done. The advant-
ages that will accrue to the Clio schools
will be very important. Their gradu-
ates will not only be admitted without
examination to every department of
the state university, but also to practi-
cally all of the higher institutions of
learning in the north central states and
Clio schools will stand upon an equal
footing with the best in the state.

Suitors and Husbands

In divorce court it has again been
demonstrated that highly efficient
suitor, skilled and thoughtful in the or
derlng of flowers, candy, dinner and
taxicabs, adept in caressing speech and
tender mannerisms, is not always, or
frequently, the best husband. A wo-
man has obtained her freedom from a
man who for eight years maintained
the position that if her parents would
support her, he would entertain her.
He was eager to buy gloves and novels,
but not coal and potatoes.
Of course, the universal law applica-
BILE in this case is likewise found to
operate in the matter of maidens and
wives. The girl who floats most be-
witchingly over ball room floor, who
draws the admiring gaze of theatre and
cafe patrons, is not always to be banked
on as dependable purveyor of break
fast nor as sure source of assistance
when baby has the Group.
The one most difficult thing for young
men and women is to determine early
in the game what it is they do not
want. The high school coed who in
clines toward the young Beau Brummel
who owns a runabout, purchased with
his fathers money, may awake to the
realization that male person capable
of leading home a self-earned salary on
each and every Saturday night, even
though he may not be quite up to her
ideal as a suitor, is what her heart

row that the people of Clio and vicinity
learned of the death. Monday morning,
Jan. 18th. 1917, of Mrs. Joseph w. Buff
fun, one of the most respected and
best loved ladies in the community.
Mrs. Buffum's death occurred at her
late home in Clio and followed more
than a year of painful illness. which
was borne with admirable patience and
courage. During her long illness every
effort was made by members of her
family to secure relief for her and she
was treated in some of the best sani-
tariums in the country. These efforts
were unavailing, however, and death
came in the guise of an angel of mercy
and rest. Mrs. Buffum had been for
many years member of the Methodist
Protestant Church and was also men,
ber of the Order Easter Star.
Calista v. McBain was born March
1st, 1840, in Fredonia, N. Y, where
her childhood days were spent. At the
age of fourteen she removed with her
parents to Buffalo, where she attended
the public schools and grew to woman
hood. July 16, 1857, she was married to
Joseph w. Buffum. They spent the first
years of their married life in the state
of New York and came with their fam
lily to Clio 33 years ago. Mrs. Buffum
leaves, beside her husband, five chill
dren. as follows: Mrs. Ella Dempster,
John and William Buffum, of Buffalo,
N. Y, F. M. Buffum, who resides at
home, and Mrs. M. C. Hurd, of Hough-
ton, Mich. Funeral services were held
from the family residence Thursday
morning at 1000 o'clock, Rev. DR.. J..
w. Will, of Hillsdale, former pastor,
officiating. Rev and Mrs. C. w. Greene
sang and wealth of beautiful flowers
bespoke the esteem in which deceased
was held. Interment was in Woodlawn.
