Charming Recital

The pupils of Miss Bertha Yerden
gave very charming recital consisting
of thirty numbers at the NJ. p. Church
last Tuesday evening.
Every seat was occupied and it is not
saying too much to state that the
audience was delightfully."- entertained
from beginning to end. Not few of
the numbers were of difficult compo-
sition and were rendered with conf,
dence which showed that those who
gave them were becoming very profic-
lent in musical art. Miss Yerden has
a large number of pupils in this vicin-
ity, as the program Indicated, md has
almost an equal number in the city of
Flint, all of which is the result of her
fine musical training coupled with un-
usural ability in stimulating her pupils
to study and work. The program was
enhanced through the assistance of Don
Littlefeld, who sang solo charmingly,
and Miss Bernice Tinker, reader, who
gave patriotic selection in a manner
that elected warm applause.

New School Officers

The Board of Education for Clio
schools met last Friday evening and
organized for the coming year, George
Palmer being elected president. Glenn
Williams secretary, and Hugh McCor-
mick treasurer. Edward Burley was
awarded the contract for doing the
janitor work in the school building for
the coming year at salary of sos. OF
per month. Action was taken looking
to the employment Of an additional
teacher, this being rendered necessary
through the fact that some of the
teachers had nearly sixty pupils in
charge last year, much larger number
than any teacher can handle efficiently.
A music teacher will probably he en-
ployed if one can be found to meet the
requirements of the situation. 1t is
considered that about the same amount
of money will be required to run the
schools for the coming year as was
used last year, viz. between fifteen and
sixteen thousand dollars, and it is cal
culated that the tax rate for school
purposes will be about the same. The
board also decided to have the grading
in front of the school building complet-
ed and to have cement walks to the
rear entrances constructed.

PORTER GREENHELD'S
AUTO RECOVERED
WAS STOLEN FROM HIS GARAGE
LAST SATURDAY EVENING
Officers Found Car Considerably Dam.
aged and Abandoned on Streets
Of Flint

Thieves pulled the staple to the door
of Porter Greenfield's garage in Pine
Run, Saturday night, and drove off
with his Ford automobile. Mrs. Green
field heard some unusual noises about
the premises shortly after twelve
O'Clock and on looking through one of
the windows to discover what the cause
might be saw Ford runabout standing
in the yard She thinks the thieves
must have seen her as she looked out,
as they Immediately drove away and
she heard the noise of second car
being driven out of the yard, this un-
doubtedly being their own. On Sunday
morning Mr.. Greenfield reported his
loss to the sheriff and on the evening
of the same day was informed that the
officers had recovered the car where it
had been abandoned on one of the
streets of the city. 1t was found to be
quite badly damaged. The thieves
carried away with the car several gall
Ions of gasoline and about year ago a
quantity of gasoline was taken from
Mr.. Greenfield s garage. There is no
tangible clue to the thieves.

Farewell to 1t. Runnells

DR.. Russell A. Runnells who received
his commission as lieutenant in the
Veterinary Reserve Corps of the u. S.
Army about two weeks ago was sum-
moned to report for active service
last week Thursday and left for
Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indian
apolis, the following day. On the eve
ming preceding his departure a large
party of friends of the newly made
lieutenant went to his home west of
town, in automobiles, taking the Broth
erhood Band with them, and gave him
a collective, community farewell. A
member of the party, in its behalf
made short speech appreciative OF
the doctors patriotism in offering his
services to his country in her hour OF
need and expressive of the regard in
which he is held in the community
where he grew to manhood, ending
with presentation to him of fine
pocket Kodak. The doctor was visi-
bly, affected at the interest manifested
by his friends and made brief but sim
cere acknowledgment of it, following
which the members of the party bade
him many good bye and hearty God
speed and took their departure. In a
letter written to his father and mother
this week Lieutenant Runnells states
that he reached Fort Benjamin Harri-
son, in due time, where he is at present
stationed, and attached to Ambulance
Co. 15., serving with the regulars.
That the lieutenant may render valua-
BILE service to his country and return
unharmed to the community which has
been proud to claim him as member
will be the sincerest wish of his many
friends.

w. c. T. u.

The next regular meeting will be
held at the home of Mrs A. A. Will
Jams Wednesday, July 25th. The pro-
gram will be omitted and work will be
done on comfort bags for the soldiers.
Every member is requested to be pres
ent and to contribute 25c to the nation
al w. G. L. U. fund, to equip the
Motor Ambulance for use in the Red
Cross work during the war.
What will be lost to the nation in
revenue through the new restrict tons
upon the liquor traffic will be made up
many times over in the Industrial and
human values saved. Possibly $500
600, 600 year in revenue is sacrificed
Even at this in giving up $500, 900 900
liquor tax, by abolishing the whole
liquor traffic, the nation will save
SO, 781 ,0O7, 800 year in values that
were being destroyed by that traffic.
This estimate is an exceedingly con-
servative one, based on official and
scientific reports as to values that are
lost in the production and consumption
of liquors. Congressman Charles II.
Randall of California arrayed these
figures, item by item in speech in the
house, opening with an apt observation
that in permitting the traffic for the
sake of the tax the government would
be buying the liquor mems riches at the
rate of $4. 49 dozen or 37c each. The
various food stuffs destroyed annually
in the manufacture of liquors total,
according to government figures $l46-
900, 600 also scientific calculations as to
lives lost through drinking, lost time Of
farmers and wage earners because of
drink, loss through crime and insanity
and there are many elements of man.
hood and mortality, of incalculble val
ue that cannot be included in any esti-
mate. The saving of these values by
the restrictions upon the traffic that
has been destroying them, regarded
from the business point alone, is good
business for the nation.

Our Trocpships and the U-Boats

There seems to be widespread appre.
hension in this country that the ship.
ment of American troops abroad woulc
be attended by great loss of life through
the operation of the Teuton submarines.
This feeling appears to have extended
even to high official quarters, to judge
by certain ''panic" statements given to
the press. There is every reason for dis
counting these fears and for thinking
that, while there may be a proportion
ately small loss of life in the manner
outlined the overwhelming bulk of the
American expeditionary force will be
safely landed in France. And, while we
are not so sure of this, we believe that
the Germans have settled policy of
concentrating upon other than convoy
ed troopships except when they are en-
conntered in circumstances that offer
good chances of success.
1t is fact England, France and other
Allied countries have moved millions of
soldiers about the high seas with neg
ligible loss of life. That is due in the
main to the fact that the guarding of
the troopships has been brought to
such degree of perfection that the
chances of successful attack by subma-
rines has been reduced almost out of
existance. The Germans, after numb
er of early trials, accepted this undoubt-
ed fact pending sny great increase in
the fighting strength and the handling
of their undersea craft. They are not
entire fools, whatever we may think OF
them, and they have turned their at
teption to more vulnerable ships.
We who sit at home have little idea
of the difficulties that attend an attack
| by submarine on a troopship heavily
conveyed, as are most of the Allied ves-
sells of that character and as all of ours
undoubtedly will. In the first place q
wide screen of powerful warships must
be penetrated by the submarine or sub.
marines. Once inside this screen flo.
tilla of swift torpedo boats throw out
an impenetrable smoke cloud that hides
the troopships from view. Still other
devices of protection, not yet made pub.
lie, are used until the submarine that
can get within striking distance of q
| troopship and can see its prospective
prize well enough to have chance of
making a hit can consider itself ex-
tremely lucky. What is important is
that the Germans see so little chance
of success in such a venture that they
attempt it but seldom.
But even supposing U-boat is fortu.
nate enough to score a hit on troop
ship, what then? Even that outside
chance has been provided against with
great success, as the small losses OF
life in the few recent cases of that kino
demonstrate. All of the troops anC
crews are provided with life preservers
which are worn practically all the time
while passing through enemy infested
waters. These enable the men thrown
into the sea to keep ahoat until picked
up by conveys or rescue vessel, usually
matter of but few minutes. Thus
practically the only gain to the Germans
is the loss of the transport and such sup
plies as she may be carrying and the
death of the comparatively few men by
the explosion of the torpedo.

Attention Chautauquans !

Clos chautauqua is less than two
weeks away. 1t promises to be a splen-
did entertainment. 1t is a community
affair and everybody should be inter-
ested in it. 1t will take united work to
put it across and avoid loss to those
who have guaranteed the expense.
Let us all get into the collar and do
our part. Let every one who signed
pledge for tickets regard that pledge as
business obligation, just as they prom
ised to do when they signed it. On
the other hand let every man who sign
ed the contract get busy and help sell
the tickets, realizing that if he does not
he will have to do his share in making
up any deficiency. A meeting will be
held at the Council Room next Monday
evening at 1880 to get ready for big
ticket selling campaign. Make it a
point to be there and let nothing inter-
fere.

WOOD ASHES VALUABLE.

Wood ashes, once employed prin-
cipally to fill up holes in the back
yard, have become thing of value
since the war placed premium upon
potash. Chemists of the agricultural
experiment station of the Michigan

value now Of from $25 to $35 ton
for fertilizing purposes for their pot
ash alone, while in addition they con-
tain considerable percentages of phos-
