A DELIGHTFUL TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. E. Taylor
returned, Monday, from a thousand
mile trip to Mackinac and other
points in the northern part Of the

AUTO COLLISION

A Ford truck, driven by Don Rus
sell, son of Moody Russell, of Mont
rose, who was accompanied by four
young men companions, Howard Nor
ton, Buckle Bedford, Gordon Excel
and Arthur Thursby, collided with a
rig driven by William Brewer, who
was accompanied by Bert Hitler,
last week Thursday evening, the acci-
dent taking place in front of the res
idence of Sylvester Pound. 1t is
said that the truck was being driven
without lights. Young Russell sus-
tanned badly bruised arm and the
other boys we're so badly shaken up
that they did not think straight for
quite a little while. Mr.. Hitler was
perhaps injured more severely than
any of the others, however, as he
sustained compound fracture Of one
of his middle fingers, the bone be-
ing pushed through the flesh. All
of the injured were taken into the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Pound where
a physician gave them temporary sur
gical attention.

CLIO HOME COMING
BEGINS THURSDAY
PREPARATIONS COMPLETE FOR
GRAND GOOD TIME
Record Crowd Locked For at Free
Dance on Pavement, Ball Games
And Balloon Ascensions

Clio has earned a reputation for
generous and interesting entertain
ment of guests at Home Coming
time. For five years, and until the
Great War interfered with such en-
tertainments generally, the people of
this vicinity have gathered in town
each year for two or three days of a
good time. 1t has been the sauce to
the years Of labor And now that
the war is over the practice is to be
resumed, and as business and every
thing else is moving with unparallel-
ed enthusiasm, we are safe in assum-
ing that this celebration will be as
largely attended and as good as any
thing ever held here.
1t will perhaps be useless to go in
to detail, concerning the entertain
ment that will be provided. Suffice
to say there will be ball games that
will be fought to a finish between
the contesting clubs each day. That
is, strongly contested for no scrapp-
ing will be permitted and an umpire,
who knows the game and will act with
impartiality, will he hired by the as
sociation and his decisions will be
final. There will be balloon ascen-
sions more thrilling in character than
any that have ever been seen here in
the past and the opening day, or rath-
er evening, will witness big free
dance on the Vienna street pavement.
Besides these attractions and others,
beside the music by the band, there
will be an army of street merchants
whose vociferous appeals for trade
are always and ever a source Of con-
tinuous amusement.
To some all fun is foolishness, but
what dry and comfortless old world
this would be if there weren't any.
And that's the reason for Home Com
ing.
The Messenger would direct your
attention to the big advertisement
which appears in another column,
giving details Of the event, and in be-
half of the committee assumes to in
vite everybody to be guests Of Clio
on August z, 8 and g..

FINE LOTS At AUCTION
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
"HILLCREST" NEWEST ADDl-
TION TO VILLAGE OF CLIO
Land Located High and Dry, Near
School Building, Should be Very
Desirable as Homesites.

Next Saturday afternoon at 500
o'clock fifty very desirable residence
lots will be sold at auction in what
has been named "Hillcrest" addition
to the Village of Clio. This plat is
comprised of the Jennings homestead
on north Mill street, adjacent to the
new concrete pavement and the
school building. 1t is, we should say,
very desirable property, and judging
from the way the West Vienna addi-
ton is building up, will soon become
an important residential section Of
the village. Beside the lots two val
liable residences will be sold.
1t is seldom that land so centrally
located is held for so long in one
body and offered for sale as build
ing lots in any thriving community
and we believe the lots will COM
mand quick sale. This country is
in the midst Of period Of develop
ment, just now, such as few people
adequately comprehend. Manufactur-
ing towns are growing at marvellous
rate and suburban towns connected
with them by rapid electric railways
are sharing in this growth. Clio is
most conveniently located both as to
Saginaw and Flint two Of the most
promising cities in the state, and un.
less something unforeseen transpires
is sure to prosper with her big sis
ters. Many people who work in the
cities prefer to live where quarters
are not so much cramped, and where
they can have gardens and breathe
pure country air. Such folk will al
ways be attracted to a situation like
Clio and will make its real estate
thing of increasing value. In this
connection we would call attention
to the fact that the village has en-
joyed a steady and considerable
growth for the last five years and
there is no reason why this will not
continue.
The advantages of the new addi-
tion are set out in page advertise
ment which appears elsewhere in this
paper and as Col. E. L. Powers will
be the auctioneer, there will be an
abundance Of pep and wit at the
sale. The Clio Cornet Band will give
concert before the selling starts
and every adult present will have
chance to participate in the drawing
of some valuable prizes.

MATRIMONIAL
Smith-LaDue

Two of Clos most popular and
estimable young people were united
in marriage, Thursday afternoon, at
the parsonage of the First Presby-
terian Church of Saginaw. when Miss
Rose Smith, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gavin w. Smith, of plymouth,
became the bride of Jess X. LaDue,
son of Mrs. Roxanna LaDue, of this
place. Rev. u. r. Montgomery, pas
tor of the church, performed the
ceremony. Harry B. Westover, Of
Lapeer, acted as best man and the
bride was attended by her sister,
Miss Christina Smith. The bride is
charming and accomplished young
lady who has been a teacher in the
public schools of Clio, and latterly
bookkeeper in The Clio State Bank.
The groom is an enterprising young
business man who served his coun-
try gallantly and with distinction
during the World War. Both are
popular with a large circle Of
friends, all Of whom will join in the
hope that their future may be filed
with happiness and prosperity in
generous measure. After short
honeymoon trip the young people
will take up housekeeping in the
Brewer home on Bluff street.

tras, readers, entertainers, Hawaiian
singers and players, Victor's Column
bian Band and a number of the fore
most orators and thinkers of Amer
lea. These splendid entertainments

mer years, probably about 15c to zoe
each if you buy season ticket. We
hope that everyone will patronize
this community and character build
ing enterprise. Read the illustrated
articles in this paper and get an idea

BAND CONCERT AT THETFORD

Next Tuesday evening the Clio
Cornet Band will give free open air
concert at Thetford Center, to which
everybody is most cordially invited.
The band boys are generously doing
this to redeem promise that failed
of fulfillment year ago. Some auto
mobiles will be needed to help convey
the boys to the scene of the concert
and it is hoped that large number
of Clio people will go along. The
Thetford people will give us a warm
welcome, we are sure, and we ought
to meet them and have a good, neigh
borly social time. The machines are
expected to leave the council rooms
at about 1880 o'clock. Everyone
come. If we have crowd Wen have
a good time.

MOTOR PRODUCTS co.
GROWING RAPIDLY
EMPLOYS ABOUT FIFTY MEN
IN CLIO PLANT
Number Could be Greatly Increased
If Houses Were Available For
Workmen's Families.

The Gillett Motor Products Com
pany, organized but short time
ago, and operating plants at Clio and
Howard City, like nearly every other
concern in the automobile industry,
is doing a rushing business. This
company owes it's existence to the ef-
forts of R. N. Gillett and it is to his
perseverance and energy and busi-
ness faith that the people of Clio can
attribute this thriving local industry.
Mr.. Gillett has met with many dis
couragements in the past in the ef-
forts he has made to put the local
factory on a solid and prosperous
footing and it now certainly looks as
if his plucky fight is to be crowned
with success.
The product of the local factory,
if we understand the matter, is
largely the wooden frames for auto
bodies and is shipped to the great
General Motors Company factories at
Flint. Inasmuch as this concern is
possibly the largest, certainly one Of
the largest, in the automobile indus
try, with everything pointing to in-
creased output in the future, there
seems to be no reason why the Clio
and Howard City factories should not
share in it's prosperity. Clio, espec-
tally, is very favorably situated for
a factory of this kind, as many work
men would prefer to live where they
can have a garden and other priv
ileges of country town.
At present the company, for it's
Clio shop, is obliged to get skilled
woodworkers from Saginaw and
other towns where woodworking fac
tories are in existence AS there are
no houses available here for the fam
lilies of such workmen, and they have
, to travel considerable distances in
getting to and from their work, it is
very difficult to get them in suffi-
cient numbers to run the factory at
its maximum capacity.
Now, the workmen in factory like
that in Clio are paid very desira-
! BILE wage, and this makes it mat
ter of concern to every business man
and resident of Clio to have as many
of them here as possible. The only
way in which this can be accomplish
ed is by providing more houses. OF
course, the housing proposition, is
not alone a problem in Clio, it is the
big problem in Flint and many other
places. But in these places the
Boards of Commerce are initiating
house-building programs and prepar-
ing to meet the situation-preparin
to meet a situation which means one
of two things-progress or failure as
a community. Why would it not be
possible in this emergency for the
people of Clio to do something col
lectively for the prestige Of the
town? AS a starter, both for this
purpose and others of similar char
acter, we need first of all good, live
business mems association. Who will
take the initiative in the matter?

UNIQUE RELIC

Although not added to the regular
set of relics in the Messenger office
we have with us, for a few days, a
very unique relic in the fern Of the
lower jaw of a wild boar which un-
doubtedly once roamed the fields Of
our township. This relic was brought
to the Messenger office by J. Cur
rier for our inspection, being picked
up on his farm by his son. It is in
a perfect state Of preservation and
the tusks of the once vicious animal
are perfect, and show where the
tusks of the upper jaw came in con-
tact with those of the lower jaw,
wearing away the white ivory to a
depth of about quarter of an inch.
