Edgar Corwin has for several weeks
now been with the fighting forces of
the u. S. Army in France. Edgar
will make a splendid soldier for his
country, we have no doubt, and that he
may return home safely to receive the
appreciation that is justly his, and that
will be the just need of all soldiers of
liberty, is our sincerest wish.
One of the large steel passenger cars
of the Michigan Ry., while returning to
Flint without passengers, Tuesday even
ing, jumped the track just below the
viadcut. south of town, rolled over
twice and brought up on its side on the
outside of the opposite track The
motorman and conductor were badly
bruised, especially the former. That
the car was not filed with passengers
was indeed fortunate circumstance.

Beginning with this issue The Mes
senger, on its inside pages. will pre-
sent each week two extremely inter-
esting articles. One will be entitled
"Helping the Meat and Milk Supply"
and the other 1.-THE Housewife and the
War;" These articles have been pre-
pared under the supervision of the best
experts in the country, regarding the
subjects treated, and are beautifully
illustrated. No more enlghtening and
helpful articles are to be found in the
pages Of any of the great magazines
and we hope our readers will open the
pages of their papers and give them
deserved attention.
Harry A. Myers spent Saturday in
Flint and on Wednesday left for his old
home at Leipsic. Ohio, where he will be
examined by the local draft board
Harry had the educational qualifications
and training which would qualify him
for admission to one of the officers
training camps, but was denied admis-
sion to such after physical examination
by the military surgeons. Later, he
was found physically qualified by the
examining surgeons of the drift board
and may be found so qualified in the
present instance. That he should be
found physically disqualified for an Off
Ger and then qualified for a private
seems little unfair, although he will
have an excellent chance to enter a
training camp if he goes into the army
as pr .ate.
The, have been some tolerably cold
days, and nights-ths winter The
mercury has lowered around the ten
and twelve and even as low as the
twenty-six degree mark on several &C.
casions. But Monday night holds the
record, so far, although the thermom-
eters do not seem to agree exactly on
this point. But the majority seem to
have favored Monday night, and the
man who has thermometer that per-
mits his neighbor to tell a bigger story
than he can should threw. it away and
get one that tends to make record.
But, at all events, Monday night was so
COMPOUNDED cold that the thermometer
at the Flint City Water Works regist-
cred 80 degrees below. This was al
most as cold as it was on a certain
"cold New Years." in Michigan, which
occurred in the sixties and has lived
in the annals of the state ever since.
Who can tell us about the "cold New
Years" from actual experience?
