THETFORD CITIZENS
HAVE NEW PLAN
c ONSID Err CONSOLIDATING
SCHOOLS OF TOWNSHIP
Meeting Held Tuesday Evening Takes
Steps to Secure Vote on
Proposition

A very largely attended meeting
of the patrons of the Jobson, Holden,
Wildcat, Boutwell,, Thetford Center,
E. Thetford, Whitesburg, Clapp and
Vantyle schools took place at the
Thctford Center school house last
Tuesday evening. The object of the
gathering was to listen to plans for
a consolidation of all of the schools
above named and the building of a
new central school building where
an improved and up-to-date course
Of instruction can be provided. Com
missioner j. L. Riegle was present
and made most informing address,
showing that under consolidation it
would be possible to have much bet
ter schools than those now being
used and at slightly increased cost.
He produced statistics to show that
the average child who attends coun-
try schools does not make education
al progress at all comparable with
children who attend the graded
schools of the cities and towns. With
a consolidated rural school, he said,
the child would make just as good
progress in the country as in the
city. The resources of the districts,
the enrolment and the attendance Of
children at school were all thorough
ly gone into with the result that when
an expression of opinion was asked
for it was practically unanimous in
favor of consolidation. In further
ance of the plan committee, headed
by Supervisor Herbert Haas, was
elected to get information regarding
the plan before the people of the
township and to bring about an elec-
tion in the township that would de-
eide the matter. The editor is taking
the liberty of giving his opinion that
if the people of Thetford decide upon
this progressive program they will be
doing the biggest thing for the pros
perity and fame of their township
that has been attempted in all of it's
history. Such action is needed all
over Michigan. We need good
schools program just the same as we
need good roads program-only the
need is vastly greater.

MICHIGAN'S NEXT GOVERNOR



The names of citizens who are to
come before the people for their Sc
lection to the high and responsible
position Of Governor of Michigan are
being announced through the press
and it behoves every person, possess
sing the franchise, to become ac-
quainted with the qualifications Of
aspirants for this position.
Michigan, being Republican
state the next Governor will, doubt
less, be selected from that political
party, and several of our very prom
inent and worthy citizens have, al
ready, "cast their hat into the ring"
and there are others, doubtless, who
may be contemplating a like venture.
In view of the fact that all wealth
comes, primarily, from the soil and
Michigan Agriculture is, therefore,
the foundation upon which rest the
prosperity of her citizens, would it
not be most wise and becoming to
place in the Governors chair a prac-
tical farmer, of which our state has
an abundant supply of well qualified
men? The various farmers organiza-
tions within the state--The Grange,
The Farmers Clubs and The Clean
ers-if united on one candidate, may
be able to name the successful can
didate for Governor and this matter
is now being considered by the above
organizations.
The very worthy records made by
farmers who, in previous years, have
served Michigan as Chief Executive,
give assurance that from "the tillers
of the soil" a candidate may be Sc
lected who will by faithful discharge
of official duties prove the wisdom
of the peoples choice in this matter.
1t is hoped that this matter will be
thoroughly canvassed to the end that
wise and satisfactory choice may
result.
| The above is respectfully submitted
| for consideration.

CAME FROM RUSSIA

Corporal Fred c. Hillman, of the
310th U. s. Engineers, was recently
guest of his uncle, I. H. Phillips.
Corporal Hillman was stationed for
eleven months at Archangel, Russia,
where he came into frequent COLI
sion with the Bolsheviki and had an
opportunity to study them at close
range. He says the most Of the pri-
vate soldiers captured by the allied
troops were very ignorant, but the
leaders were up-to-date, apparently,
and dropped Bolsheviki literature in
quantities back of the allied lines.
He thinks the Bolsheviki government
will eventually be overthrown.

SIMPLE COMBINATION
HELPS WEAK EYES

Clio people are astonished at the
quick results produced by simple
witch-hazel, camphor, hydrastis, etc.,
as mixed in Lavoptik eye wash. In
one case of weak and near-sighted
eyes a few days use brought great
improvement. In another case it
stopped eye pains and inflammation.
We guarantee a small bottle of La
voptik to help ANY CASE of weak,
strained or inflamed eyes. Alumni
