A Pleasant Visit

A large number of members of Vien-
ma Lodge. F. & A. M, made the trip to
Saginaw, last Friday evening. where
the third degree was conferred for
Germania Lodge The visiting broth
ers found Germania Lodge to be housed
in beautiful new temple and the hos
pitality accorded them was of the
most generous and delightful nature.
Another gratifying feature was that,
while Germania Lodge numbers among
its membership many of German birth
and parentage, there was evident the
most splendid feeling of loyalty and de-
yotion to the stars and stripes and all
the flag stands for. At the banquet
which followed the comforting of the
degrees, there were many brief speeches
by the members of both lodges and the
visitors were highly complimented On
the way in which they had conducted
the inetiatory ceremonies.

Red Cross Notes
SEWING DEPT.

The sewing was commenced the first
of Sept. 1917. Not much was accom-
plished, although the committee worked
hard, until the Red Cross room was
opened Nov. %. Since then the inter-
est has increased. Some have done a
great deal of sewing, one woman hav-
ing made made IL bed shirts in three
days. Some only did little, but it
was all they could do. A more congen-
ial group cf workers would be hard to
find. The interest is still growing. We
have three community sewing branches
and another has asked for work. They
have made ID or Is garments each day.
We have made, in the seven months
time, 882 garments, and the work has
received the highest compliments from
Flint headquarters.

Fire Destroys Home

Last Sunday morning, at about 800
o'clock, the residence of Miss Mary
Ormsby, on Johnson ST., was discover
ed to be on fire, and despite the utmost
efforts of the fire department and
others, was practically destroyed. Miss
Ormsby was engaged in getting break
fast at the time, and thinking she heard
strange noise in the upper part of the
house, investigated and found the fire
had already big start. Neighbors at
once lent vigorous assistance and prac-
tically all the furnishings in the lower
story were saved, together with some
of those in the upper story, although a
good share of Miss Ormsby's clothing
and lot of food supplies and fine bed
ding were destroyed. The fire engine
was connected with the creek and the
greater part of the first story of the
house was prevented from burning, al
though it was badly damaged. The in
surance on the house amounted to $500
and that on the contents to $40o. These
sums will not cover the loss by consid-
cradle and Miss Ormsby will have the
sympathy of all in her misfortune.

this section of Michigan the way in
which Uncle Sam is preparing to ad-
minister the Huns deathblow and when
it is considered that these fighting men

$4,000 WORTH OF
POWDERED MILK
CLIO CONDENSARY HAS THAT
AMOUNT ON HAND
Heavy Buying During Winter Results
in Big Surplus of Milk
Products

An example of the manner in which
money may quickly pile up in food prod
ucts is to be found in the fact that the
Detroit Creamery Company, at its Clio
branch, now has on hand 1000 drums
of powdered milk valued at $40. 90 per
drum, thus representing a total value
of $40, 10000. But while the milk is
valued at the above figure there is no
present opportunity of selling it, as the
market is supplied. For the time being
tits valuable but unstable by prod
uct
We are informed that during the past
winter the supply of raw milk taken in
by the Detroit Creamery Company, at
its various stations, was greatly in ex-
cess of demands, but in order..to pro-
tect its patrons and retain them during
the summer months, when there is an
active demand for milk and cream, it
has taken all of the milk they have pro-
duced. the result being that it has accu-
mulated an immense reserve stock, of
which the powdered milk we have men,
toned is but an item. We may say,
too, that the local condensary has pow
dered many carloads of milk for the
other condensing stations of the Com
pany which are not equipped with evap-
Grating apparatus.
Beside the accumulated stock of milk

2 YEARS OF HORROR
IN STRICKEN BELGIUM
MRS. BASIL CLARK WILL TELL HER
DRAMATIC STORY HERE
Will Deliver an Address, Which Will bs
Free to All, at the Auditorium,
Next Sunday Evening

Mrs. Clark has just completed nat
ion wide speaking tour with Daniel A.
Reed for the U. S. Food Commission.
Immense crowds have greeted Mr..
Reed and Mrs. Clark at every city
where they have spoken. MIR. Reed
says that Mrs. Clark is the greatest
woman orator in America today. The
Press of the country is unanimous in
praise of her.
She was born and educated in Ken
lucky and lived in Belgium for ten
years. She lived in Brussels for two
years after German occupation, and
witnessed the arrival of the German
army in that city in the first days of
the war. Her story of that mighty and
barbaric pageant, and of the German
atrocities which followed it. is one of
intensest dramatic interest. She was
a close personal friend of Edith Cavell,
who was cruelty murdered by the Huns.
Her husband was a wealthy ship build
er in Belgium. Mrs. Clark is person
ally acquainted with the King and
Queen of Belgium and with all Belgian
officials and foreign diplomatic corps
posted in Belgium at the outbreak of
the war. She has wonderful message.
Hon. d. D. Atkin and Roy Brownell.
of Flint, will also participate in this
meeting. Everybody come. Admis-
sion free.

Notes from Clio Soldiers

We have received brief letter from
o. r. Webster, who left here to join
the aviation branch of the u. S. Army
last week. He is now stationed at
Charleston, S. c., where, he says, they
have six regiments of aviators. num-
bering $40 men to the regiment, the men
coming from every state in the Union.
He says they are being vaccinated for
smallpox, given ''shots in the arm" for
various other diseases, and are receiv-
ing daily lessons in French, which looks
as though they would see service over
seas in the near future. Mr.. Webster
says the weather is grand, like that of
Michigan in midsummer, and that he
won the boxing championship Of the
regiment to which he belongs. Here's
hoping that "Bill" will be able to work
off most of his prowess, in the matter
last mentioned, on the Germans. They
need to have He'll knocked out of them
and it is big job-there's so much of

Howard Moody writes US from Camp
Custer to thank us for The Messenger,
saying that he feels most at home"
when he is reading our modest little
sheet. Howard says he has been un-
der quarantine and in the hospital the
greatir part of the time since he has
been in the service, being still in the
hospital, but he cheerfully that he is
feeling much better and hoping to be
out soon. He says that OH Saturday,
last, thirty-six new patients were ad-
mitted to the ward where he is con-
fined, beside many others who were as
signed to other wards; also that they
experienced bad storm at the camp on
Sunday night, the lights being out of
commission for a time. This, no doubt,
was the same storm which brought
sudden darkness to Clio. Howard's
many friends will unite in the hope
that he may soon be restored to COM
plete health.

Cotton

The cotton market was irregular
yesterday. At times trading was fairly
active, but the days business was not
large, and the trade seemed to be vacil-
lating between the new crop progress,
which indicated a fall in prices, and
the character of immediate spot ad-
vices, combined with the possibility Of
less favorable crop accounts later on,
which gave encouragement to those
who expected prices to rise. An early
advance reflected renewal of Thurs
days buying movement. October con-
tracts sold off from 24.63 to 24.12 and
closed at 24.35, with the general list
closing steady, net 4 points lower to 6
points higher, except in the case OF
August, which showed net gain OF
32 points
The report of the Census Bureau on
supply and distribution for May and
the first ten months of the season was
about as expected. Exports for May
were 292,O41 bales, against 375,822 last
year, making 3,984,05 against 5221,703
last season. and domestic mill consump-
tion was 577,28S, against 615,412 last
year, making 5,522,0S0 SO far this sea-
son, against 5,676,572 last year. Do
mestic mill stocks at the end Of May
were 1,795,497 bales, against 1,899,154
last year. Exports yesterday, were
21,965 bales. Southern spot markets,
as officially reported, were 25 points
lower to so points higher, most Of them
being unch-. .nged.

court and rushing to the net with great
frequency, SO that her opponent was
always on the defensive. The weakness
of Miss Pollak's backhand was laid
bare in this match, for Miss Goss con-
tinually hammered away at this spot
and rarely failed to gain her point.
Miss Bjurstedt played rather list
lessly against Mrs. Wood, raising the
power of her game only in the second
set when Mrs. Wood threatened to
make trouble. In the opening session
the former Florida champion was not
within several points Of her real game,
never "stroking" the ball, even on her
forehand, and Miss Bjurstedt took the
set at 6-1 without exerting herself in
the least.
At the start Of the next set, however
Mrs. Wood began to put more power
in her shots and was soon forcing her
famous opponent to fight for the
points. Her placing grew in accuracy
and several spirited rallies featured the
match at this stage, but Miss Bjurstedt
always held the whip hand and finished
off with brief spell of severe driving
