SALVAGE WORK IN DEEP SEA
Most Elaborate Precautions Taken in
the Case OF the Empress OF
ireland.

"All the bodies that could possibly
silver bullion on board the sunken
Empress OF ireland have been recov-
cred as the result of one of the most
remarkable feats of deep water sal
wage ever attempted" says Popular
Mechanics. when the ship was sunk
near the mouth of the st. Lawrence
it settled in the soft mud at the bot
tom of the river, which is 138 feet
deep at low tide, and heeled over at a
sharp angle. Because of these condl-
lions the divers were compelled to
work at times at the unusual depth OF
$50 feet In spite of the extremely
dangerous character of the work only
one accident occurred but this unfor-
tunately resulted in the death OF one
OF the divers.
ITO familiarfze the divers with the
arrangement of the ship and the iOca-
ton of the strong box, pasteboard
models were made, and the divers,
we're thoroughly schooled with these
before being permitted to- undertake
the work AS a further precaution the
first work that was done by the divers
after a hole had been cut in the side
of the ship was that of bulkheAding
all fanking doorways and passage
ways along the route to be followed
inside the ship, SO THAT no diver could
go astray or get his hose, life line or
telephone connection tangled.

Ancients Labeled Food Products.

Labels were found among specimens
of ancient Hebrew writing in the city
Of Samaria. They were employed as
seals on wine and oil Jars. They set
forth the year in which the wine was
deposited in the cellars and they state
the vineyard whence the wine came.
The wine was deposited in what was
practically government storehouse.
On the oil jars the label reads, "A Jar
of Pure Oil" with the name of the dis
trict producing it. These records, some
seyenty-five in number, pertain to the
period of King Ahab, who lived about
1900 years ago. The names appearing
in the inscriptions indicate that not
only the king himself, but many other
men, stored their wines and oils in
their warehouse.

Buys Bowling Alley

James Rapley has bought the bowl
ing alley and billiard business hereto
fore conducted by Harry Price and has
already taken possession of his pur-
chase. Mr.. Icapley does not expect to
conduct the business personally and
has hired Ralph Alvord for that pur-
pose. The new proprietor announces
that he will run good. clean establish
ment and will spare no pains that will
add to the pleasure and comfort of his
patrons. As means of boosting the
bowling game in Clio Mr.. Rapley an
nounces that hereafter the price will
be just half what it formerly was. The
patronage of the public is cordially in
vited by the new proprietor.

1t takes cooperation to make a sue
cessful country newspaper-industry
and intelligence on the part of the edi-
tor, interest and assistance on the part
of the public. The tendency of the big
city newspaper is toward the CONNER
cial and industrial supremacy of the
city; the mission of the country news
paper should be TO maintain the COM
mercial indedendence and standing of
the town where it is located. Compe-
tition is fierce in commercial lines and
even the country newspaper is not be-
yond its reach, as may easily be appar-
ent. The maintenance of village vital
ity is serious question not only in
Clio but in every village similarly stu
ated in Michigan and the entire coun-
try What the outcome may be is
problematic, but it is safe to say that it
will be to each community what the 10y
atty and enterprise of its people make
it. If they are fired with the patriot
ism and loyalty that have been char
acterstic of the Dutch and Swiss ma
tions, their towns will thrive and pros
per in spite of the aggression of the
cities. If not, they will sink to the
rank of second-cla suburbs or grow
ing number of vacant business places
will presage final decay, as is already
the case in many towns. The Messen-
ger has given the best of its modest
talents to Clio, and for itself and the
other business interests of the village,
it invites your active support.

Would Feed Quail

81 will reimburse every farmer in
Genesee county who will send me a
true bill of the cost of feed used by
him in feeding the quail during the win
ter months while food is buried beneath
the snow" This is said to have been
the offer Of E. B. Braman, of Flush
ing. deputy state game warden.
"rhe quail is truly ike farmers
friend" says Mr.. Braman. ''All through
the summer season they work early and
late destroying insects and obnoxious
weed seeds. At this season of the year
they ask you for food so that they may
live and work for you next summer.
Every winter thousands of quail die of
starvation while the food is buried be-
meath snow. l ask the farmers to feed
these birds, send me the bill and | will
see that they get their money"

Freedoms True Friend.

The true friend of freedom does not
wish TO be insulted by the superstition
that he believes each human individu-
al an erring man, and that neverthe-
less the united clamor of erring men
has character of divinity about it ;
nor does he desire to be told that the
voice of the people, though legitimate
ly and institutionally proclaimed and
justly commanding respect and obedi-
ence. is divine on that account. He
knows that the majority may err, and
that he has the right and often the
duty TO use his whole energy to con-
vince them of their error, and law
fully to bring about different set of
laws. The true and stanch Republican
wants liberty. but no dedication either
of himself or others.-Emerson.

OF age, when he came to America and
with his family stopped at the village
of Mt. Morris. This was in Nav, 1868,
and in December of that year the fam
lily settled on the farm in West Vienna
which was MIR. Vickerman's home DUR
ing the remaining years of his life.
His farm at that time, like most of the
land about him, was wild and covered
with forest growth, but with un-
daunted spirit and unremitting energy
he chopped and logged the timber, dug
out the stumps and through success

HOST HAD REASONED WELL

"They who expect the men in au-

remember the grizzly-bear story.
"a famous grizzly-bear huater gave
dinner, and one of the guests told of
a bear hunt that he had once shared
in with his host. 1t had been a re-
markable hunt. The bear had been
killed under almost incredible difficult
ties. Although his auditors looked
skeptical, the narrator did not spare
them any of those difficulties. He
counted on the host, you see, for COR
roboration.
"Then when he had finished his
strange but perfectly true tale, he said:

MADE "BooKIES" LOOK SILLY
Visitor From Dublin Turned Neat
Trick on London Sharks Who
Had Boosted Too Loudly.

A Dublin man, being on vacation
in London recently, patronized a ho-
tel resorted to by two English book
les and, being continually and unmer-
cifully twitted by them, decided on re-
yenge. In the smokeroom one eve
ming the trio were discussing the dex-
terity of pickpockets, when our friend,
who had adroitly introduced the sub
ject. declared that there was nothing
wonderful about their work at all.
Any ordinarily smart man could do
what they do.
81 could easily lift any man, if I
so wished" he declared, mo matter
who or how alert he might be-
"Bet you fifty to tanner you don't
lift that toff over there, Mr.. Mick
or Pat, or whatever your name is"
snapped one of the bookies, at the
same time indicating the only other
occupant OF the room-a gentleman
standing at distant window.
''Done," said our friend, and the
money was taken. lie approached the
gentleman and spoke to him, at the
same time relieving him of his watch
and chain, tie pin and pocketbook. The
gentleman didn't apparently notice
anything wrong, but the bookies could
distinctly see the operation. Our
friend won his bet and the bookie lost
his temper next day on discovering
that our friend and the gentleman
whom he had lifted were bosom com
panions who had arranged the little
matter between them.-London Mail.

Many in Clio Try
Simple Mixture

Many Clio people are surprised at the
QUICK action of simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, ETC., as mixed in Adler
i-ka. This SIMPLE remedy acts on
BOTH upper and lower bowel, remov-
ing such surprising foul matter that
ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach or
gas. A few doses often relieve or pre-
vent appendicitis. A short treatment
helps chronic stomach trouble. The
INSTANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka
is astonishing. Z. Z. Huyck, druggist.
