Clio Schools Opened

The Clio schools began their work on
Tuesday with good enrolment and
every student seemed determined to
make the coming session more of sue
cess than was the year before. And it
is thought they will, as school is Begin
ming on time this year, and with their
interested teachers and in their new
building it appears there is nothing to
keep them from it.
The enrolment in the various rooms
is as follows: High school. 72; seventh
and eighth grades forming the junior
high schooD, "a; fifth grade, %; second
and third grades, 81; first grade and
kindergarten, 81; total, 320.
The faculty is as follows: Superin-
tendent, w. d. White, sciences; princi-
pal, Miss Nina Tice, mathematics
teachers, Miss Veola Clifford, English
and history, Mrs Kent McLain, Latin
and German. Mrs. w. D. White and
Della Thompson. junior high, Miss Bea-
trice Palmer, fourth grade, Miss Grace
Lash. fifth grade, Mrs. Bessie Beck
with, second and third grades, Miss Ma
BILE Blackney, first grade and kindergar-
ten. Miss Martha Schotz, music and art
The schools have never opened with
more promise than at present and there
is every reason to believe that the best
results will be achieved for all interest
ed, pupils, teachers and parents.

Germany Must Hear Reason

, Germany, like some giant of mythol-
ogy, has been standing club in hand for
the last half century waiting for her
opportunity to bring about the supre-
macy of brute force among the nations
of the earth. Brute force is opposed to
liberty, the dominance of reason, the
opening of the avenues of endeavor that
permit the fullest expansion of the hu-
man mind. Consequently Germany is
opposed to all of these things which to-
gether form the basis of social progress
Thus it follows that the brute force
which Germany is seeking to exercise
must be broken or the most sacred priv
Ileges of human existence will be lost
1t is as true of this struggle as it was
of the one which called forth the state
ment of the great Emancipator that this
world "cannot exist half slave and half
free"

Visited "5O-lb." Cow

A. j. Littlefeld. wife and two sons
Donald and Harold. returned last week
from a motor trip to New York state,
which was to them one OF the most in
teresting they have ever taken. They
found splendid condition of the corn
and other crops through Ohio, but in
Central and Northern New York agri-
cultural conditions are about the same
as in this part of Michigan. Especially
were they pleased with the roads of
New York. none better for motor trav-
ell to be found anywhere, brick and con-
crete being very common On many of
the Mills they were able to shut off the
engine and coast for considerable dis
tance, in one instance the coast being
for over two miles
But the real feature of their trip was
visit to the famous and prize winning
herd of Holsteins, known as the Pine
Grove herd, at Elma Centre, not far
from Buffalo, which is owned by Oliver
Cabana, Jr. This herd, which has over
100 mixers, among them twelve record
breakers, contains the most famous COW
in the world, the ''50-pound cow, I"
whose picture and description was print
ed In The Messenger some months ago.
This animal for four successive tests
made 80 ID. record, and finally put on
an extra squirt and went to so pounds, a
record never beaten. The owner has
now one of her calves, six months old,
for which he has refused the nice little
sum of 500, 900! Some bull calf, that?
Mr.. Littlefield's account of the system
of operation at this magnificent dairy
farm is most interesting, and it would
not be surprising if he should introduce
some of the best features into his own
practice, as he is stock raiser Of no
little skill and repute. Another inter-
esting episode of the Littlefelds' trip
was the unprecedented meeting, in
York state, with Ed Beeman and wife.
who were also on their auto trip from
which they lately returned.

Backed Up Seven Miles

A recent talk anent motoring and
roads elected reminscence from FL
mer Powers of nice little motor coast
of seven miles down hill so steep that
when the driver wanted to go back he
had to reverse and back up the entire
distance, as he couldn't make the gas
reach the engine if he turned around.
A doubt might be cast on this recital, if
told by some people. but coming from
Mr.. Powers it goes as it lays. 1t should
be said this happened in the hill country
of New York, not in Michigan.
