MRS. BEEBE'S VERSE

The Messenger recently received
a charming, friendly letter from Mrs.
Rosamond Beebe, who is well known
to many in this vicinity, and who
spends her summers at her cottage
at Bay View. 1t will scarcely be
necessary for us to tell about the
beauties of Bay View. Its waving
trees, its flowers and it's outlook over
the shining waters of the bay, make
it one of the loveliest places in the
world But Mrs. Beebe has a poetic
spirit, she understands and loves Bay
View from long ASSOCIATE n, and we
are printing in this issue some little
verses which speak her thoughts and
ours concerning Bay View in a man.
ner which we are sure will be pleas
ing to our readers.

BALL GAME-FIFTH

One thing, at least, will lend flaw
or to the observance of the historic
Fourth of July in Clio, and this will
be big game of base ball which will
be staged between the Overland Sales
Team, of Saginaw, and the Clio Ball
Team. The game will be played on
the home grounds Monday; called
at 3 100 o'clock. The Overland Sales
people are reputed to be ball players
right, which promises an interesting
article of ball to all who attend. AS
the reputation of both the compet-
ing teams is known throughout the
county, big crowd is looked for in
case the weather is favorable. Every
body invited and everyone guaran-
teed his moneys worth of amuse-
ment.

DELIGHTFUL RECITALS

At the Clio NJ. P. Church, last Sat-
urday evening, the piano recital CIV
en- by the pupils of Mrs. Bertha Yer
den Gorham, was literally attended
and the various numbers were given
in a manner that was charming and
evinced the effectiveness of the train
ing that had been received. The
numbers given by Miss Dorothy San
ford, vocalist and Master Guy Welch,
reader, added much to the pleasure
of the occasion. On Tuesday even
ing of the present week the pupils of
Mrs. Gorham gave recital at the
Oak Park M. +. Church, Flint, and
this also proved popular with the pub
lie and demonstrated the ability of
the pupils.

A HOME COMING

In nineteen hundred and twenty,
On the first day of June,
| arrived at midnight,
In the full of the moon,
The trees are in leaf
And the flowers all in bloom,
| then fully realized
1t was none too soon.
It's perfect Paradise,
You all will agree,
The fleecy clouds and sky
Outrivals the sea.
The bay is as blue
As the blue Galilee,
| wish all my friends were here
To enjoy this with me.
Over the glittering waters
| saw a boat glide;
1t seemed thing of life,
As it breasted the tide.
This beautiful bay,
Is our joy and our pride;
Just motor up to Bay View
And take a boat ride.
There are steam boats, motor boat:
And yachts by the score;
Sail boats, row boats
And canoes galore.
Now, pray tell me,
Could you wish for any more,
And if you don't like the water,
There's plenty of room on it's shore
R. f. B.

Miss Erie Richards, daughter of
Vienna, is attending special course
of instruction at Harvard College,
Cambridge, Mass, this summer, the
course being devoted to advanced
methods of teaching feeble minded
and backward children. Miss Rich
ards has been in charge of this de-
partment of school work at Saginaw
for some time past and the school
ing she will get at Harvard will
doubtless be of much value to her.
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. N. Garrett, of
Flint, have been spending the week
in Detroit, where Mr. G.. has been in
attendance at meeting of the State
Federation of Printers, as a delegate
from the Flint Typographical Union,
and Mrs. Garrett has been visiting
friends. The trip has been more
than ordinarily pleasant for Mr.. Gar
rett because of the fact that entire
ly by chance he met brother-in-la
from Washington, ID. c., who hap
pened to be in the Michigan metrop-
oils.
Harry Gait, of Flint, assistant
prosecuting attorney, made the ed
itor pleasant call Tuesday after
noon. He is fine looking boy and
his reputation is just as good as his
looks. This undoubtedly will go
good way (as it ought in further
ance of his ambition to be nominated
and elected public prosecutor Of Cen
esee County. This is not to be re-
garded as committing The Messenger
in any sense; it is just an exhibition
of that spirit of fairness and candor
which we try to exhibit at all times.
Let us add little to the article
published in the last issue of The
Messenger relative to the conduct of
certain young men who have occa-
sionally visited Clio; Firstly, the
article said ''manifestly" undesirable
characters. This means, as plainly
as can be stated in the English Ian
guage, those who by their actions
manifest outwardly their undesira-
bility. 1t could not and did not mean
anybody else. 1t meant just what it
said. 1t had no reference to any
worthy young man who might come
to Clio from any other town on any
errand whatsoever. Moreover, the ar
ticle was not intended to be person
al. 1t could be applied wherever it
fitted and not otherwise and no re-
Election was made in it as regards the
morals of the girls who were men,
toned in a general way. Further,
our counsel, was to deal kindly, help
fully and automatically with those
whom such efforts might aid We did
not intend our little article to be
used as basis for attack upon anyone
People who needlessly wound and
discourage those who may be un-
fortunately circumstanced. especial
ly the young, are but helping along
the work of those who would ac-
complish their ruin, whether or not
they may realize the fact.

AN INTERESTING TRIP

Misses Verna Lembach, Eva Smith
and Mrs. Hazel LaBar have returned
from their trip to Vincennes, where
they visited Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Beach.
They went the whole length of In
diana, viewed old Kentucky from
across a river and went through Sec
tions of Illinois, and Ohio as well.
They passed through Turkey Fun,
an Indiana state resort, where people
from all over the country go to srend
the summer. About the only cops
they saw were corn and wheat which
were doing very nicely. The hay had
been cut about a week before. They
passed through many cities, visited
Ft. Knox and also the home of Will.
liam Henry Harrison (old Tippe-
canoe), built about 116 years ago. A
thing they noticed in some of the
states they visited was the character
of the school buildings, there being
many fine, large brick buildings even
in the country districts.
The ladies returned by way of II
Wayne, indianapolis, Toledo and De-
troit and were ferried across TIE Wa
bash and White rivers. They decd
ed Michigan had the best roads of
all. They left Vincennes Saturday
afternoon, at about 800 o'clock and
reached home Tuesday evening. They
enjoyed the trip all the way through
and saw many interesting and beau
tiful things.

a copy of the year book issued by

School, which is indeed a very hand
some specimen of Typography. Mr..

pleasure, in perusing this book, that
Marshall E. Smith, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Marshall M. Smith, of Flint, for
mer residents of Clio, was a member
of the graduating class. II added to
our pleasure, also, to observe his
photo and that his name appeared
among the comparatively few who re-
ceived honorable mention as a stud
ent, the highest honor that he could
attain considering the length Of time
he had been in the school. Marshall
was a devil in The Messenger office
for time, and while we lay no spec
ial claim to having been in any wise
instrumental in his intellectual de-
velopment, il must be conceded that
he has devil of good start. 1t is
his purpose to enter the University
of Michigan, we have been inform
ed, and with his capacity for earnest
work, his clean character and his
active mind we predict for him a
very useful if not distinguished fu-
ture.

 The actual cruise will begin about June 9th and will end about August 28th at Annapolis.
 This cruise will enable many Naval Reservists to take fine sea voyage at the expense of the government and at the same time it will enable them to complete the active sea duty re- quired in order that they may be con- firmed in their ratings and receive two months retainer pay a year while on the inactive list of the Naval Re- serve force. It is expected that the cruise will be very popular It is announced that applications from re- servists will be filed in the order of

Since there are abouty sixty thousand Naval Reservists in the Dis triet it is feared that many will be disappointed. Those who are inter ested in the Naval Reserve Force are very enthusiastic about this unusual cruise-one which comparatively few people ever get in so short time.
