The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1918-01-25

of the Alumni Association of the Grand
Rapids Veterinary College last week
and was honored by being made an
honorary member.
Mr. and Mrs. Vess Butler, who have
been living in Mt Clemens for several
months, have again taken up their resi-
dence here and Mr.. Butler has accepted
position with the Standard Oil Co.
John Anderson attended the annual
meeting and banquet of the Short Horn
Breeders Association in Lansing last
week. About 125 delegates were in
attendance. An auction sale of pure
bred stock took place at the same time.
The association gave $4,000 for the
Red Cross and heifer which they pur-
chaced for $4,000 was sold at auction
for $4,000 and the profits also were
turned over to the Red Cross, making a
$500. 90 contribution in all.
Chas. Lembach has received from his
sister, Mrs. Emma Fillman, of Pasa-
dena, Calf, beautifully illustrated
booklet showing views of flower be-
decked floats which were used in the
Tournament of Roses which took
place in that city on New Years Day.
1t seems strange to see these represen-
tations of flowers and sunshine and
realize that they exist at the same time
we are in the midst of snow and zero
weather.
Bert Conlee, Warren Hoff and Earl
Shorten went to the home of w. r.
Hopkins. on "Piety HILL" to spend an
evening playing euchre. Mr.. Hoff is in
the habit of carrying a rabbit foot
which he displayed on this occasion
without much success. On Lis return
home he lost his rabbit foot between
the home of Mr.. Hopkins and the
bridge. A liberal reward will be given
for the return of the foot to Warren
Hoff.
A rather striking instance of the sew
eritv of the great storm of Jan. 11-15
is embraced in the thrilling experience
of Clyde Rose, of this township, who
was at that time on his way firm Gen.
eseeville to his home. When the biz
card was at its height he was caught in
sparsely settled district and as his
team was unable to get through the
huge drifts he was obliged to find shelter
in an abandoned house. Here he found
an old stove in which he managed to
build fire and stabbed his team in a
nearby shed, remaining in the house for
about twenty-four hours. His face was
frozen by exposure until it bled before
he reached the house and his toes were
frozen. When the storm subsidized he
was able to get to place where he
secured food for himself and team and
later reached his destination. That a
person could have such an experience
in this section of Michigan seems more
than remarkable.
The Messenger is getting along with
diminished amount of help at the
present time. Got to do it. We can,
however, give our readers good service
if they will assist us by sending in
articles they desire to have published
early in the week. We cannot accept
long articles later than Wednesday
morning. Short locals will be received
until 1000 a. m. Thursdays. The mails
are slow nowaday and in order to get
the paper to our subscribers we must
have the paper on the press shortly
after noon on Thursdays. Articles
turned in so late as to interfere with
this program will simply have to go
over until the succeeding week or be
omitted. 1t takes several days TO get
the type ready for an edition and we
simply cannot undertake to do it within
a few hours. Please be helpful in this
matter. We want the news but we
want it as it occurs, not all on Wednes-
and Thursday.
