TIL resolutions adopted included the
following remarks on the farmer la.
Dor alliance.
"Another conclusion that the stu.
dent of history cannot escape is that
the advancement of civilization has
always been impeded by the failure Of
these groups of toilers to properly un.

"The past five years have witnes.
sed a remarkable improvement in this
respect and nowhere has it been sc
pronounced as in the state of NORTH
Dakota. ...

beneficient results of the growing
solidarity of agricultural and indus.

should be done to still more firmly

of the faculty became very curious to
know what the committee were
framing up" Numerous secret
meetings were held at the end of the
hall, nedless trips made down town
and well-filled baskets were spirited
into the building. All waited pat

PARENT-TEACHERS' DAY

Parents and other patrons of Clio
Public Schools are very cordially in
vited to attend the schools next week
Tuesday with view to securing a
more perfect cooperation between
parents, teachers and pupils and that
the work of the schools may be rem

splendid idea and The Messenger
hopes its object may be realized in a
very generous measure. The schools
do not need our criticism half as

couragement and cooperation. Re-
member the program for Tuesday and

will be general discussion of the
Relation of Home and School,"

FARMERS FAVOR BEETS

We have heard it said there would
not be enough sugar beets raised in
the state of Michigan, this season,
to keep one factory running. This
result, however, is not indicated by
the attitude of farmers in this Sec
ton, as we are informed that the
Michigan Sugar Company, through its
representatives at Clio, Birch Run and
Mt. Morris has secured contracts for
nearly, if not quite, all the acreage al
lotted those points. Seventy-two
bushels of seed have been received at
Birch Run, 80 at Mt. Morris and 68
at Clio, for use this year. The Michi-
gan Sugar Company is now erecting
in the vicinity of Mt. Morris two
commodious houses for the accommo-
dation of field workers, the work being
done under the supervision Of v. B.
Butler, l.. B. Fuller is now in Chic
ago making arrangements for the re-
moval to this section of twenty fam
lilies of beet workers who will care
for the beet crop the coming season.

Anderson

Our citizens were greatly shocked
last week Friday, April 80, 1920,
when it became known that John
Anderson had passed away at his
home northeast of Clio. He had been
i'll but about five days and his death,
therefore, was both sudden and
wholly unexpected by his friends,
many of whom had not even heard of
his illness. Mr.. Anderson was born
in Sweden, Jan. 8, 1859, and conse-
quently had attained the age of 81
years, 8 months and % days. When
about ten years old he came to Amer
ica with his parents, the family first
making their home at Royal Oak,
Mich, for a period Of five years, and
then moving to Hadley. At the lat
ter place Mr.. Anderson was a pupil
in the public schools and took four
years of the high school course. He
continued to reside in Hadley until
his marriage to Miss Hattie j. Curtis,
Of Mt. Morris, which occurred July 3,
1884, following which he lived for
two years in the township of Burton,
and thirty-four years ago took up
his residence on the fine farm, north
east of this place, which was his
home until death. He was a man of
untiring industry, of business ability,
and Of integrity, qualities which

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Gallo
tabs, the Purified and Refined
Calomel Tablets That Are
Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-
enza can be depended upon for full ef-
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nau-
sealess calomel tablet called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickenings and
weakening effects of the old style
calomel. Doctors also point out the
fact that an active liver may go a long
way towards preventing influenza and
is one of the most important factors in
enabling the patient to successfully
Withstand an attack and ward off
pneumonia.
One Calotab en- the tongue at bed

cold has vanished, your liver is active,
your system is purified, and you are
feeling fine. with a hearty appetite for
breakfast. Druggists sell Calotabs only
in original sealed packages, price
thirty-five cents. Your money will be
cheerfully refunded if you do not find
them delightful.-Adv.
