SUNSHINE SPECIAL

Many of our readers, perhaps, will
recall Galen Starr Ross, manager of
the Community Chautauqua the first
season that organization gave pro-
gram in Clio. They will remember
him chiefly, we opine, because of a
very capable lecture he gave in the
Auditorium after the regular Chau-
tauqua program had been concluded.
At that time Mr.. Ross conceived a
lively admiration for the friendly and
appreciative spirit shown by the peo-
pie Of Clio and on Wednesday of
this week he came back to pay his
friends here a brief visit. He is now
engaged in work somewhat similar to
that done by the gifted Edgar A.
Guest for the Detroit Free Press and
is appearing on the Chautauqua plat
form, as well. To bring this story to
point we want to say that Mr.. Ross
in appreciation of his former pleas
ant associations here, offered to come
to Clio next Sunday evening and de.
liver his lecture entitled "The Sun
shine Special" if suitable arrange
ments could be made. This was cas-
| lily done through the consent of the
pastors Of the local churches, and
next Sunday evening, at the usual
hour for service, at the M. E. Church
| Mr.. Ross will deliver his regular plat
form lecture, "The Sunshine Spec,
ial." We feel safe in saying that this
will be an intellectual treat for the
people of Clio, and we hope the
speaker will be greeted by an audi
ence that will fill the church to ca
pacity. Admission will be free
Everybody bear this date in mind anc
plan to attend the M. f. Church neXt
| Sunday evening.

PASSENGER CAR SMASHED

Clio was the scene of consider
ably thrilling smashup, Monday af-
ternoon, when the rear section of
the limited train on the Electric road
crashed into the forward section,
while it was standing on the siding,
completely smashing the rear vesti-
BILE of the forward car and telescop-
ing it as far as the seats. The col
lision made a resounding crash, and
the few who within few moments
witnessed its outward results had
considerable expectation of seeing a
number of dead and wounded car
ried out, but as by miracle the only
injuries sustained by passengers
or crews were limited to few minor
cuts and bruises. The circumstances
which led to the collision, as nearly
as we could learn, the railroad en-
as a switch bar, were as follows
The first section Of the 2:08 south.
bound limited was unexpectedly held
on the siding at Clio to await the pas
sing of northbound special. The
motorman of the second section
knowing nothing of this, expected the
first section had gone on, and not
seeing it on the siding until close up
on it, entered the switch at such
speed that he was unatle to stop h,s
car in time to avoid ramming the car
ahead. The second car was a bic
steel affair and it tore into the old
wooden car comprising the first Sec
tion as though it had been made OF
paper. Both cars were put out OF
commission by the force of the impact
and later were hauled away for re-
pairs.

GRADE PROMOTION

Grade Promotion Exercises for
Clio Public Schools were held Tues
day evening and were largely at
tended, a number of people, unfor-
tunately, being compelled to remain
standing during the entire time. A
playlet given by the Fifth Grade,
dealing with school teaching, was
very amusing and very cleverly done.
There were also several pleasing
musical selections by scholars of the
various grades. The certificates of
promotion were presented by Super
intendent Sangren, who briefly des-
cribed the work of each grade and
gave a few words of commentator
to the scholars who had successfully
completed their several courses Of
study. At present there is a splen-
did, enthusiastic spirit among both
teachers and faculty of the schools
and there is abundant reason for the
belief that next year will be among
the most successful in their entire
history.

FoOLINC FARMERS

The same old gag is being pulled.
There are men in this county and
other counties of this state forming
live stock associations similar to the
old horse associations, where they
got a bunch of farmers to go togeth-
er and buy a stallion for community
breeding work. BY these men form
ing these associations the farmers are
paying an enormous price for the
animal when it is all figured up.
If men come around to you to join
such an association think this pro-
position over as you may be able to
save your community several hun
dred dollars by taking little time in
forming that association yourselves.
The association is perfectly legiti-
mate in every way, but after investi-
eating for yourself you will find you
form those associations among your
selves just as well as having some
outsider come in and get the long
money for the same.
The Farm Bureau Office stands
ready at any time to help form live
stock and crops improvement asso-
Citations and the services cost you
nothing.
Yours very truly,
Sidney Smith
County Agricultural Agent.

CHILDREN'S DAY PROGRAMS

The Messenger would like to state
that the Children's Day programs
given in the Clio churches, a week
ago Sunday at the M. f. Church, and
last Sunday at the M. p. Church,
were thoroughly artistic and delight
full and all who attended were well
repaid for their time. The people
who are most deserving Of COM
.mendation, with relation to these
programs, are those who had the
training the the children in charge
and we want to take this opportunity
of telling them how much we value
their work, a work that is construct
i've in the building of character, as
we'll as charming in its immediate re-
suit. These Sunday school workers
get no pay except such as an approx
ing conscience and an occasional
word of commentator afford. We
want them to know that we are for
them, if not with them, and we
know our views are shared by many
others.

Business session.
Presentation of Cup
Song "a Thousand Years"
The annual banquets of the Alum
nj Association have always been ex-
ceedingly pleasant affairs; not al
ways profitable, perhaps, because the
committees have not been sparing
of expense in providing for a fine
spread and. good time, but from the
standpoint of a wholesome mixture
of wit and philosophy, good music,
and renewing of former and valued
associations they have been unquali-
fedly successful. This years COM
mittee has worked as faithfully as
any former committee in providing
a good program and we feel the ut
most assurance in stating that with
the exception of our own part in it
land we promise to quit any time
the audience becomes threatening) it
will be first class. We advise every
alumnus to attend-the price is alb
solutely not to be compared to the
benefits, material and mental. An
other matter to which we have been
asked to refer in this connection is
that the march will begin promptly
at $3.50 and the program will begin
with equal promptness which will do
away with the tedious waiting that
sometimes has been experienced.
Those who expect to attend are asked
to buy their tickets at once, so that
proper table arrangements may be
made, the indications now being that
a record crowd will be present.
