THE EDITORS PRAYER

Almighty and kind Father, who
doth from thy throne look down on
the government of men and delin-
quent subscribers. Most humbly do
we beseech Thee to draw near unto
them and whisper few things in
their ears that the statutes forbid US
to print. Thou knowest our wants,
but the subscriber knowest them not
and seldom stops to enquire. Let it
be known to them that there are
large patches in the homestead of our
pants, and there is an aching void in
the front Of our backs, and that we
hunger and thirst and he asketh us
not to sup with him. Thou knowest,
Lord, that our print paper and ink
cost money, but. the subscriber know
eth it not and careth darn sight less.
Thou knowest, we are cold and the
subscriber bringeth not the wood he
promised, and we are shivering and
shaking while he roasteth his shins
before the red hot stove of his moth
er-in-law. Tell him all these things,
Lord, and if then he faileth and
bringeth no succor, Danish him to the
lower regions to dwell among the CAL
amity howlers, and Thine shall be the
glory and praise throughout our
newspaper career. Amen.-Ex-
change.

SATURDAY SCHOOL

At a meeting of the teachers of
Clio Public Schools, held one evening
this week, it was decided to hold
school on the following Saturdays: :
January 25, Feb. and %, March 8
and %. Sessions of the schools will
be held on these dates in order that
pupils may have an opportunity of
making up for the time that has been
lost through the closing of the schools
on account of the epidemic Of influ-
enza. We hope the boys and girls
will appreciate the effort that is being
made in their behalf; that they will
appreciate the fact that attendance
at school is not task imposed upon
them, but rather that it is privilege
which they are enjoying and that the
results that come from it will be the
most important factors in making
their lives successful and happy.
Also that the time for foundation
work in school is limited and that
"the mill will never grind again with
the water that has passed"

PEACEMAKERs OF WORLD

The Messengers presents this week
some very interesting pictures of
scenes and persons connected with
the great peace conference that is
just now beginning work in France.
They will be found on another page.
The opening of the peace confer
ence is an epoch-making event, the
Importance Of which will be recog-
nized even more clearly in future
years than it is at the present time.
The Messenger obtained these pic
lures because it recognizes the great
interest that its readers have in this
event and in the world leaders who
will remake the map of Europe and
endeavor to establish a permanent
peace.
President Wilson, Premier Gle
menceau, of France, and Premier
Lloyd-George, of Great Britain, un-
doubtedly will be the dominant fig
ures in the peace congress. They
will exercise the power that in for
mer peace congresses was welded
by kings and emperors. Policies
which these three men agree upon
doubtless will be embodied in the
final peace treaties.
The pictures of the Versailles
palace are of particular interest be-
cause of the history that already has
been made within it's halls. 1t was
here that French autocracy received
it's death blow more than hundred
years ago, and it was here that Will
liam of Prussia was proclaimed en-
peror of the newly formed German
empire after the defeat of the French
in 1871. 1t is in these same halls that
the final sessions of this greatest of
peace congresses will be held.

MEMORIAL SUNDAY PROCLA-
NATION

Many of the brave boys >who so
freely offered their lives in our cause
will now come back to US. Some
of them sleep in sunny France. Some
lie Gin Flanders Fields" among the
poppies. Some went down to the sea
in ships and there met cruel fate.
Some were cut off by accident and
disease in our own land. They all
died that Freedom. might still live;
and, while our heads are bowed with
sorrow, our hearts are filled with
pride and thankfulness when we
think of their willing spirit of serv-
ice. We shall not forget their splen-
did achievements.
It is fitting, however, that we
should in some special way manifest
our appreciation of their noble devo-
tion and sacrifice.
Therefore, in order that we may
pay tribute of respect and affection
to the memory of the gallant lads
who died for US, l, ALBERT E..
SLEEPER, Governor of the State of
Michigan, do issue this my proclama-
ton and hereby designate and set
aside Sunday, the second day of
February, nineteen hundred and
nineteen. as Memorial Sunday for
Michigan's martyred sons in the
Great War.
And earnestly request the people
of the State to gather on that day in
their accustomed places of worship
and there hold appropriate and SOL
emn services in memory of our hon
ored dead. Let every church in
Michigan devote one service, prefer
ably the morning service, to this pur-
pose.
suggest, too, that in communities
where this plan is practicable, the
laymen arrange for a general serv-
ice, with suitable program Of music
and addresses, to be held in the af-
Nternoon.
/ further request that during the
day flags be displayed at half-staff,
and that every one wear smll bow
of white ribbon in loving remem-
brance of those who will not return
to us.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal Of the State, this seven
teenth day of January, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and nineteen; and of the Com
monwealth the eighty-second.

AS local manager of The Saginaw
Sugar Company, I feel that we
should compliment the growers of
this vicinity on their splendid coope-
ration during the past season, on the
fine quality of the stock they fur
nished and on the financial returns
which the company was enabled to
make to them. Everything consid-
cred, it was one of the most prosper
pus seasons in the history of the. .busi-
ness. For the six hundred acres
that were under contract in this vi
cinity the gross return was over
500 per acre, as an average, and the
yield was above ten tons to the acre.
Through many years sugar beets
have proven to be very profitable
crop, aside from the benefit to the
land resulting from thorough cultiva-
ton, and with the record made this
season the prospects are that all the
contracts assigned to this section will
be speedily taken. shall be glad to
hear from those who wish to make
contracts at as early a date as pos
sible.
Sincerely yours,

GOLDEN WEDDING

The pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs.
I. HI. Phillips was the scene of very
happy gathering, Monday, on which
occasion they celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage.
Mrs. Phillips maiden name was Sarah
Cogswell and she and her estimable
husband were united in marriage in
Arbela township, by John Jacobs,
Esq, just fifty years ago. Beside
the bride and groom, there were pres
ent at the anniversary celebration
their son, Clarence, and family, Mrs.
George Linabery, Of Gladwin, their
daughter, and Mr.. Phillips sister,
Mrs. Henry Hamer, and her daughter,
Mrs. George Dowd. A sumptuous
dinner was served and Fluctuations
and "reminiscences made the occasion
altogether charming. The children
presented their parents with four
five dollar gold pieces and Mes
danes Hamer and Dowd gave some
beautiful pieces of hand painted
china. Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips have
always resided in this vicinity, save
for few years spent in Gladwin
they have been excellent citizens al
ways, and kind friends and neighbors,
and it will be the sincere wish Of
their many friends that Providence
may give to them the good health and
prosperity essential to the enjoyment
Of many more anniversaries Of their
wedding day.

HULLED CORN

Years and years ago, when the log
cabin was the universal type Of
residence in Michigan and in fact the
whole middle west, and when it was
not infrequently necessary to go
many miles to get even corn grist
ground, one of the dishes that the pi-
oneers fonud very convenient as well
as mighty appetizing was hulled corn.
1t afforded them chance to use the
corn just as it grew in the clearings
without the necessity Of taking it to
mill and while plain and hearty it
was still delicious. 1t was made in
the old days by setting up leach in
which was placed the ashes from the
wood fires in the fire places and
stoves, turning water upon them,
catching the lye which resulted and
boiling the corn in the lye. When
the corn had been boiled sufficiently
to loosen the tough outer casing or
hull it was washed several times in
water which at once removed the
hulls and the excess lye and the ten
der, delicious kernels were ready for
the table. Some folks ate hnlled
corn with milk while others pre-
ferred it fried, but it was sure good,
no matter how it was trimmed. We
had almost thought that hulled corn
was lost art, when Lem Willard
came into the office looking for a
big kettle in which to make the ia
nous food we had remembered so
well and fondly from childhood days.
We had exactly the right kind of ket-
tie, the one we use to melt the limo
type slugs in from which The Mes
senger is printed, and the result has
been that Mr.. Willard has favored
us with several Illnesses" of splendid,
old fashion hulled corn. Of course
it is impossible to get leach lye now,
but when handled by past master
in the art, like Mr.. Willard, concen-
trated lye can be made to answer re-
quirements very nicely. Further
more, as we have learned lately, a
very satisfactory substitute for hull
ed corn may be had at the stores in
the shape of canned hominy-but af-
ter all it don't taste like the real old
stuff.
ED. Note) we want to buy
bushel of nice yellow dent corn in
order to furnish our friend Lem with
the "makins."

FISH STORY CONTINUED

Youall know about those large
fish caught by ID. ID. Meeks and C.
w. Taylor, as related in these col
umns last week. Well, we are now
convinced that we told considerable
truth about 'em, because the editor
was one of party Of twelve gentle
men who were invited to help eat
them at a fish dinner given at the res
idence of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. ID. Meeks,
last Friday evening. The dinner
was given by both the honored gen.
tlemen who caught the big fish and
whose wives collaborated as hostesses
in the most charming manner. AS
a matter of fact, we personally ap-
proved of the efforts of the ladies
quite as much as those of their hus-
bands. The two big pike, baked, and
placed on platters big enough to hold
sucking pigs, graced the opposite
ends of the table and there were nu-
merous other toothsome accessories
which made that dinner something to
be remembered. And meanwhile the
dinner was disappearing, the stories
that went round added the spice of
life to the more material enjoyments
and impressed the scribe with the
idea that not an of the truly wonder
full things in piscatorial experience
are compassed in Jonah and ii. In
the course of the evening it came out
that DR.. P. E. White was the real
hero of the party, as he caught a
pike several pounds heavier than
those told of by the other gentlemen,
IL 1-2 lbs. in weight, to be exact.
But anyway, there was enough of
those two pike to feed the multitude,
only there weren't any basketfulls
to be picked up afterward. as the
gentlemen paid too genuine a trib-
ute to the ladies' cookery for that.
After dinner the party engaged in
progressive euchre and other games
and listened to several delightful Sc
lections on the Victrola. Those pres
ent were d. d. Meeks, C. w. Taylor,
j. F. Wirth, Ed L. Beeman, E. E.
Huyck, T. W.. Smithson, DIR. p. E.
White, M. c. Doyle, C. w. Jobson,

OBITUARY
Phillips

Mrs. Flora M. Phillips, widow of
George ]. Phillips, died at her home,
226 Grace St., Flint, Thursday, Jan.
16, 1919, after an illness of in
fluenza- and pneumonia which had
lasted but little more than a week.
The circumstances surrounding her
death were unusually pathetic. Her
husband, a widely known and respect
ed young business man, of Flint, was
taken i'll of influence on Jan. 2, and
in just week was summoned from
life which was radiant with youth
and promise to the silence of the
tomb. His wife cared for him dur
ing the first two days Of his illness
when she, too, was taken with the
dread disease and confined to her
bed, Her father and mother and
sisters gathered at her bedside and
Joined in giving her the most loving
and faithful care. All that the best
medical skill could do was enlisted in
her behalf, but the shock resulting
from her husbands death and the
ravages of disease were more than
could be overcome, and in exactly
one week from the date of her hus-
bands death she was called to join
him in the realm of eternal life.
Flora M. Haas was born Nov. 10,
1881, in Thetford township, Mich,
being the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick Haas. She resided at her
birthplace until she grew to woman
hood, when she Went to Flint and en-
tered the employ Of o. M. Smith &
Co., extensive dry goods merchants,
where she remained several years
and where she made the acquaintance
of Mr.. Phillips, to whom she was
united in marriage, Dec. 81, 1912.
She was a most estimable lady, a
dutiful daughter, loving and de-
voted wife and mother, charming
and helpful friend. Truly will her
life and heruntimely death constitute
a sweet, sad legacy to her many
friends, as well as to those who knew
her in the closer relationship of
mother, daughter and sister. She is
survived by son, Jack, four years
old, her father and mother, three sis
ters, Mesdames Ralph Gillett, Chas.
Sturdevant and Ray Ford, all Of Clio,
and two brothers, Herbert F. Haas,
of Thetford township, and Frank B.

services were held in Flint, last Sat
urday, Rev. j. B. Goss, assisted by
Rev. p. B. Hoyt, the latter former
pastor of Clio M. E. Church, of which
deceased was member, officiating.
The remainE, together with those of
the husband, which had been placed
temporarily in a receiving vault,
were inferred in Gracelawn Gene

MATRIMONIAL


On Monday afternoon, January Is,
at Toledo, Ohio, occurred the marri-
age of Miss Bessie Mott, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. McCrady, of this
place, to Lieut.. Dwight M. Smith,
until recently serving with the 77th
Spruce Squadron of the U. S. Army.
The bride is progressing young
lady who has grown to womanhood
in this vicinity, where she is popular
with wide circle of friends, young
and old. She is an accomplished mu-
sician whose art has been frequently
employed, at social gatherings, and the
editor can pay her the deserved trib-
ute of saying that for the past two
years she has been a very efficient
member of The Messenger force.
The groom is the SON Of Mk. and Mrs.
G. w. Smith, of Taymouth, and prior
to his enlistment in the army was a
member of the faculty of the Baker
Business University, in Flint, and al
so of Olson's Commercial College, Of
independence, Kan. He is a splen-
did young man, respected for his abil-
ity and manly qualities by all who
know him. 1t may also be said to
his credit that early during the war
he enlisted in the army as private
and through study and soldierly quail
tiles gained commission as second
lieutenant. The plans of these
young people, for the future, have
not been fully decided upon, but all
who know them will join in the hope
that wherever their home may be
they may "live long and prosper"
