IMPORTANT NOTICE

A call from the county organiza-
ton compells us to wind up the af-
fairs of the local Red Cross organiza-
ton, at least so far as the subscrip-
tions to the last drive are concerned.
Before we can do this we must pub
lish, locally, complete statement of
receipts and expenditures. There
are a few subscribers who have not
yet paid their subscriptions, and as
there has been no pressing need of
funds they have not been asked to
do so, but now we must request each
one who subscribed to the fund to
paw whatever balance may be due
without further delay. This is a
matter touching the patriotism and
the honor Of our township, a matter
in which we are all equally interest
ed, and it is hoped the response to
this request may meet with generous
and complete compliance.

Twp. Chairman.

CATTLE BRING BIG MONEY

A dispersal sale of the herd of
pure bred Holstein cattle owned by
Mark Piper, Of Flint, last week, drew
purchasers from all over the United
States and the cattle went for very
high prices. One COW brought $3,-
100000 and twelve others brought
$500.O0 each and better. Among the
animals last mentioned was a cow
that H. d. Gage sold to Mr.. Piper
about year ago for around $4,000,
but at this sale she went for $4,000.
One of the sires of the herd sold for
100000 and the other went to A. j.
Littlefeld and Clark Hill for $1,7O0.
The sale totaled about $40, 100000.

ED. CORWIN WRITES

The Messenger editor was greatly
pleased to receive the following let
ter from Ed Corwin, one of our boys
who has been on active duty in
France for many months. We know,
also, that Eds letter will be read with
interest and pleasure by his many
friends in this vicinity:
April 27, 1919
Mr.. Charles Reed,
Clio, Mich.
Dear Sir-I thought l would write
you a letter and let you know that
my regiment is soon to start for
home, after sixteen months of serv-
ice in the A. E. F., and we are all
glad that it is coming our turn to get
back to good old u. S. A.
AS you perhaps know, the 21st
Engineers was the first light railway
regiment the U. S. Army ever had,
and the only one in any army, l think,
in service here now. We sure built a
lot of light railroad over here and
we had the best little railroad in
France, in the Toul sector. We also
built a lot of it in the Argonne-
Meuse.
Now we are at LeMans, big camp,
which most Of the troops have to pass
through on their way to the coast. I
have found quite few Of the 85th
boys around here, but in all my moves
about the lines / have not seen one
of the boys from around home, and
l have been with the 32d and have
seen lot of the 85th.
Last night received one of
your papers and l sure read every
thing there was in it, and enjoyed it,
too. / want to thank you for your
kindness in sending it to me, f0a it
was mighty good of you and Thave
enjoyed it very much.
Well, l guess will have to stop
and go to mess, for l am just as
hungry as / ever was and there is
only one call in the army that / like
better than mess call and that's pay
day. In closing, I will wish you
good luck and good health"

OBITUARY
Obee

The people of Clio and vicinity
have been saddened within the past
week to learn of the death Of Mrs.
Charles w. Obee which took place
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. B. S. Jennings, last Wednesday
morning.
Mrs. Obee had been in i'll health
for an number of months, but her
condition Immediately preceding her
death had not been unusually alarm
ing, and her demise, therefore, was
both sudden and unexpected. She
arose as usual on Thursday morn
ing, ate part of her breakfast, and
soon after suffered an attack of diff
cult breathing. The usual reme-
dies failing to afford relief, physic-
ian was hastily summoned, but she
had passed away before his arrival.
Realizing, evidently, her serious con-
dition, Mrs. Obee wrote a farewell
message to her husband not fifteen
minutes before the end came. Mrs.
Obee,s illness had its inception in an
attack of "flu," followed by pleurisy,
after which an asthmatic condition
developed from which she was a great
sufferer during the entire period.
She was, however, very patient and
cheerful, and though realizing the
serious nature of her illness, was op-
timistic and put up brave fight for
recovery, submitting to operations,
and on the day before her death
making a trip to Saginaw where an
x-ray photograph of the chest was
made, in the hope of determining the
exact cause of her trouble. But all
Of her brave personal efforts and the
devoted and unremitting attentions
Of her parents were unavailng and
death came to relieve her suffering,
bringing to an untimely end life
that had been guided by the noblest
conceptions of wifehood, motherhood,
and loving relationship to father,
mother, brother and friends.
Lillian H. Obee, only daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. S. Jennings, was
born April II, 1885, and died May
8, 1919, at 8 :15 a. M, being 33 years
and 21 days Of age. She attended
the public schools of Clio, graduating
with the class of 1904. She contin-
ned her studies at Adrian College,
graduating from that institution with
the class of 1908. Following gradu-
alton she taught in the public schools
of Britten one year and similar
period in the public schools of Clio.
Sept. z, 1910, she was united in mar
riage to Charles w. Obee, now a men,
Der of the faculty of Adrian College,
since which time she had resided in
Adrian. She leaves to mourn their
loss her husband, two little sons, DON
aid, aged z, and Byron, aged a, her
parents, and one brother, Harley.
Funeral services were held at the
home of Mrs. Obee's parents, Satur-
day afternoon, being conducted by
DR.. Freeman, president of Adrian
College, and Rev. Carl Lundbom, of
Flint. The burial was in Woodlawn
cemetery.

Murphy

Mrs. Agnes Murphy, wife of Bryan
Murphy, died suddenly at her farm
home, northwest of Clio, Thursday
morning, May 8, 1919, the cause of
death being thrombosis. She arose
in the morning in her usual health,
was taken ill and passed away
within the space of half an hour.
Mrs. Murphy had lived in this vicin-
ity but about two years, and in that
time had won the high regard of her
neighbors and others who came to
know her, all of whom will extend to
the bereaved husband the fullest
measure of sympathy. Mrs. Murphy
was born at Evansville, Ont, July 18,
1885, in which place she continued
to reside until her marriage to Mr..
Murphy, which occurred June %,
1915. Shortly after marriage Mr..
and Mrs. Murphy came to their farm
near this village where they resided
for about two years, then moved to
Flint where they resided about two
years, and had just returned to their
homestead and gotten nicely settled
when the angel of death entered to
bear the beloved wife away. Beside
the bereaved husband, Mrs. Murphy
is survived by two brothers, Thomas
Walsh, now serving with the Ameri-
can army in Russia, and Charles
Walsh, of Evansville. Mrs. Murphy
was member of Birch Run Catholic
parish and funeral services were held
from st. Mary's Church, Mt. Morris,
on Saturday morning, Rev. FIR. Ryan
officiating. Interment was i'm Cal
vary cemetery.

France). l am also sending you a
copy of the contents of the two pack
ages, one a suit case, the other a
''clothing roll"
got a snap shot of him two days
before he was killed and am sending
you one of the pictures.
Though have had to write hund-
reds of letters TO parents losing their
sons during the war, yet it has never
been so hard for me as now, for Swi-
hart was just like a brother to me /;
we had been thrown together so much
and in such an intimate way.
l remember very well the day he
joined our organization, back in the
training area, on the 22d day of July
He had just finished his course in the
Officers Training School at Langres,
France, had only received his commits
sion on the 9th of July, and came to
us in his new suit and Sam Brown
belt. l admired him from the day
met him, but going with him through
the different drives against the Huns,
sleeping with my back against his on
the cold ground, trenches, etc, /
grew very fond of him in every way.
And to lose his fellowship, yes COM
radship, means much. 1t is when l
view him in this light that can much
better appreciate the true loss to his
dear parents, brother, yes, and
know, friends by the multitude.
There was not an officer in our en-
tire regiment that had more friends
than had Lieutenant Vernon G. Swi-
hart, and l am not saying this just
because I am writing to his people
back home, but l know the men of
this regiment will verify my state
ment.
AS Regimental Intelligence Officer,
he had to go into every German home
in the towns we occupy, not to make
enemies, for they were all his friends,
and gladly responded to any call he
made upon them. The proprietor of
the Hotel Sur Prot, where we have
our headquarters asked for the privil-
ege of sending a floral design for his
grave and the request was granted.
He also sent letter of sympathy to
our commanding officer and l have
requested him to send same to you.
l will not write more, but cannot
! close without referring to his former
command, the Sd Bait. of Co. l, which
formed his funeral escort and acted
as the firing squad at the grave. Six
captains served as his pail bearers.
This, in itself, shows you the esteem
of the officers for him. The men in
his Office were all very fond of him
and will ever remember him as true
and tried friend.
My closing words to you would be
that, never for one moment doubt as
to his good work, both as a soldier
and officer.
May Gods love be that which shall
comfort you in the loss of your dear
son, and His strength sustain you in
bearing up under so great burden
and loss.
Yours in love and sympathy,
Alonzo F. Coyle,
Chaplain 355th Infantry,
U. S. Army.

A WORTHY CAUSE

This is just word but we could
wish it to speak volumes. The Sal
vation Army is conducting cam
paign in this county and state for
funds. This was one of the organ
izations that had its people right up
on the firing line in France and that
gave the boys its services without
money and without price. They did
real service and are still doing it, ev-
cry day. We're for 'em. The
quota for this township is small.
They ought to have it. Well do our
bit Will you do yours?

SOME BUSINESS

F. M. Houghton & Co., proprie-
tors of the local elevator, shipped
from this station during the month
of April seventy-ei car loads of
produce. If this were all shipped to-
gether it would make full train load
that would tax the strength Of one Of
the monster freight engines of the
p. M. Ry. With all the competing
concerns in this vicinity, it speaks
well for Houghton & Co. that they
were able to command this big pat
ronage.

I'll Say So

When you ride thousand ''kilos' on a French
troop train,
And then tramp hundred further thru the mud
and drizzling rain,
When your pack feels like load of bricks, your
feet and back sore,
And you haven't drawn nckels pay in ninety
days more,
And you haven't got centime left to buy a fresh
cigar
You're kinder out of luck feow-I'l say you are
When you hit the hay at midnight as tired as you
can be,
Just to rise again daybreak at the sound of rev.
ellie,
When you drill from early morning till the sun is
going down.
Then get assigned to K p when you crave pass
to town.
And you spend your leisure moments scrubbng
kettles, pans and pots,
It's not the kind of life you hoped for-Pn say it
is not.
But you playing position in the worlds great
game of ball.
And you wouldn't miss this chance to see the big
gest game of ALL
So when they call strikes you grit your teeth
and show steam
And remember that you've signed up with the
pennant- winning team;
And all the knocks you're getting army chow
fatigue and drill,
Will make man of you, old fellow I'll say it will
