The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1919-05-22

Premier Paderewslzi, returning from
Paris to Warsaw, was greeted first by
an attempt on his life by two bOlshev-
lists and then by mammoth demon
stratlon by his fellow countrymen, who
are grateful for his efforts ut the
peace conference. The Poles are high
ly pleased by the placing Of the free
city Of Danzig under their control In
stead of that of Germany, though they
wanted to be granted the port out
right. The Silesian boundary settle
ment also suits them, but not the ST.
lesians, who are said to be planning
an armed revolt against annexation to
Poland and asking aid from Germany
The Poles and the Ukrainians are said
to have agreed to quit fighting each
other, though later reports told of a
defeat of the former by the latter in
the vicinity of Lemberg.

TIE ECONOMISTS VIEW

Perhaps at no other time in this
nations history is the appeal Work
and Save as necessary as at present.
Manufacturers, financiers, economists
and many others including even the
more conservative labor leaders, real
ize that unless we work and work hard,
and save and save hard, we are headed
for period of unprecedented hardship.
This is not the mere mouthing of
jingo or professional pessimist 1t is
fact, and is supported by innumerable
Signs everywhere Every hour wasted
and every dollar spent needlessly is
like small dagger thrust at the heart
of this country. Enough Of these dag
ger thrusts will finally reach the heart
itself. The fact that we are extra.
ordinarily rich furnishes no immunity
from ultimate disaster If we waste
these riches. The thing to do is for
each and every one of us to pull in the
same direction, towards national econ.
omy. Without it we are lost. With it,
we can insure our national future. ~

WHAT A YOUNG MAN
KNOWS

presumably every young man
knows. as physical fact, that he can
do nothing next year which he cannot
in some degree, do today. . The
important question is whether the time
will come early enough in life to do
him any particular good. lazy man
cannot possibly make himself indus
trious in the future; or an extravagant
man, economical. II it is done at all
he must do it at an immediate present
moment-at some right now! No man
ever saved penny in the future, or
ever will. He has got to save the
penny in his hand at the moment or he
will be broke to the day of his death
To save the penny in hand he
must resist the temptation to spend it.
- Every year that he does not re-
sist weakens his ability to resist. It
is within the knowledge of everybody
who has the ordinary circle of acquain-
tances that, after a certain time, the
man who lives up to the limit of his in
eome-which about nine times out of
ten means little beyond-accepts that
as normal condition and just auto
mattcally spends all that he gets. 80
If he can realize by thirty, or sooner,
that he is spending his future every
day, 1t will be good thing for him.

Phoenix, November 3-8 inclusive, and
which insure a record breaking attend
Ance.
Thursday Of fair week will be known
as American Legion day, and the COM
mittee in charge is making elaborate
arrangements for the entertainment of
thousands of ex-Scrvice men who are
expected to gather in the first great
military and naval reunion since the
signing of the armistice The occasion
will be utilized for perfecting perma-
nent organization among the members
of the famous 15Sth regiment, which
saw such valiant service in France, and
it is quite likely that other units made
up of Southwestern men will be organ
ized.

lowing events:

25-mile-three states race ...... 1000
1O-mile novelty race. ........... 500
Other events may be added.
The 25-mile event will be limited to

dealers Of Phoenix, have been selected
as judges The sanction Of the Amer

obtained and the races will be conduct
ed under the rules and regulations of
this body.
A purse of $4,000 is now being

the proposed course, and this purse
will be split four ways: $4,000 to the
winner, $4,000 to the second and $1,000
each for the third and fourth cars to
finish the race.
Burt Barr, superintendent Of the
aerial race, has secured four entries
from California, and is confident, he
says, that the airship race from the
coast to the fair will prove one Of the
most interesting events of the entire
session. This will be an amateur event
and is to be the longest cross-country
flight by amateurs ever staged in the
form of a race Amateur aviatOrs,
