Fathering a Soldier

Our fellow citizen, ]. M. Beardslee is
patriotic, and realizing that he can
not actually go to war he.has assumed
to do the next best thing and act as
friend and father to boy who is going
to fight his country's battles And he
selected strange boy, too, no kin of
his own, just the first deserving soldier
boy with whom he came in contact.
This happened to be Archie Wood. who
went into the National Army from this
vicinity, and with whom Mr.. Beardslee
became acquainted on the street after
he had been called for service. An in
teresting correspondence has been car
ried on between the two men since that
time and Mr.. Beardslee has sent the
young soldier various little articles cal
culated to make him know that he is
not forgotten and that his services are
appreciated. Under date of Oct. "a,
Mr.. Wood wrote to Mr.. Beardslee ex-
pressing his thanks to the Clio Red
Cross ladies for the nice knitted outfit
they sent him and said that he "would
never forget their kindness He also
says Il can highly praise the Y M. G.
A. They are doing noble work here.
The Y, as we call it, is our home when
off duty" Under date of Nov. "a, the
boy wrote:
Mr.. j. M. Beardslee.
My Dearest Friend:
81 received all you sent me, the box,
the papers and the money, and must
say cannot express my appreciation
to you. They were certainly god-send
to me, for the box was the first | have
reed since | came down here, and
thank you many, many times for all.
81 will sure come and see you when
come to Clio. | wouldn't think of ever
coming to Clio and not visiting you. fol-
YOU have been to me as father and
appreciate it.
Mr.. Beardslee's attitude toward this
boy is certainly very commendable ano
doubtless there are others in the com
munity who have assumed similar re-
lationship toward some other young SOL
dier or who would be glad to do sc
should the opportunity present it.

Small Pox in Clio

Miss Helen Doyle, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. M. C. Doyle, is suffering from
a mild attack of small pox, the source
of her infection being unknown. The
family has been quarantined and the
home placarded. The disease is prev
alent in Flint, Dawson and other places
in the county. People should bear in
mind that vaccination is the only known
preventive for this disagreeable disease
and see toit that they are thus protect
ed. The disease has not assumed q
virulent form this year, but it may do
so at any time.

C. R. Robertson is the proud posses
sor of a sabre welded by his great
grandfather in the revolutionary war.
The venerable ancestor was an Irish
man and, of course, was always ready
for scrap. At the time in which he
lived the Irish would rather fight the
English than any one else and so he
went to France and came to America
with an Irish brigade recruited in that
country. And then, begorra, when the
war was over he stayed in the country
which had afforded him the best time
of his life and raised family. And
about the time his son became of age
and was aching for a shindy the war
of 1912 broke out and he grabbed the
old sabre from the wall and went to
pay off some of the old scores he imag-
ined his father still owed the British.
That, possibly, was the last real use to
which the old weapon was put, but it
has been treasured in the family
and has fostered their martial spir-
it, for when the war of the rebel
lion came on Mr.. Robertson's father
promptly enlisted and fought for his
country until Lee surrendered. The
old sabre bears a shamrock and other
devices inlaid in its blade and is very
interesting.

Wartime Demand for Cotton il
Enormous

Recent investigations in the use of
cotton in war show:
A 12-inch gun disposes of a half bale
of cotton with every shot fired; ma
chine gun in operation will use up bale
in three minutes; in a naval battle like
the one off Jutland over 5000 pounds a
minute are consumed by each active
warship; more than 20, 900 bales year
are needed to provide absorbent cotton
for the wounds of the injured; one
change of apparel for all the troops
now engaged in the war represents
more than a million bales.
