The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1918-09-27


Boys, here is chance to help your
country and at the same time help
yourselves: Jones & Haven need help
to husk their corn crop. Help is scarce
and our government has made an espec-
ial appeal to the boys of the country to
help save the crops. Here is present
opportunity for the boys of Clio to do
their bit" Jones Haven will pay
eight cents per bushel for husking,
which is twice the price that used to be
in vogue. Boys can work Saturdays
and should arrange the matter with Mr..
Jones.
Mrs. John Taylor will hold an auction

Dayton Whaley supervised the raising
of big addition to barn on the farm
of O. M. Field, Wednesday afternoon.
About forty-fve neighbors of Mr.
Field participated in the raising. The
big timbers went together like clock
work and a big supper put proper
finish to it all.
We haven't been able to extract
much satisfaction from the fact, as
yet, but we are able to announce that a
part of this week. issue of The Mes
senger was set up on Standard Merg-
anthaler Linotype which has been in
stalled in the Office. The machine is a
wonderful piece of mechanism. which
makes it somewhat difficult to learn,
but we are in hopes that it will greatly
tighten the work of getting out the
paper once we learn to operate it. We
are indebted to Clyde Willard and
Homer Adams for much valuable help
in getting the machine started.
