MARKET REPORT
SCRIPTURE READING

Joining in what it is proposed to
make a countrywide effort, The
Messenger will from time to time
print a Scripture quotation for the
consideration of its readers. Rever-
ence for the Bible and some know
ledge of its precepts are vital to our
happiness as people. Following is
the quotation for this week:
"And these words, which | COM
mand thee this day, shall be in thine
heart; And thou shalt teach them
diligently unto thy children, and shalt
talk of them when thou sittest in
thine house, and when thou liest
down, and when thou risest up.
And thou shalt write them upon the
posts of thy house and on thy gates. I"
Duet. 6. 60.

Hold-up Men Slug T. H. Alexander, Assistant
Cashier, and Coolly Walk Off
With Money.
FOUR YOUNG MEN IN BANDIT GANG
MAKE CLEAN GETAWAY
Biggest Haul Made in Michigan in Years. OF
fcers Make Pursuit But Lose Trail.

while he was waiting and saw three
men enter the car before it was driv-
en- away. She also noted that the
men were of youthful appearance
and that one of them had some sort of
a red ribbon or badge on his hat.
Other people in the neighborhood
saw the car but paid no particular at
tention to it, as IL is not unusual for
machines to be parked for short in
tervals along the roadway.
AS soon as possible after the rob-
berry had taken place officers in Flint,
Saginaw and other centers were noti-
fled and some of them were soon on
the scene. 1t was known the bandits
drove straight east through Pine
deputy sheriff, and perhaps other Of
ficers, were soon in pursuit. 1t is
said the trail of the robbers car was
easily followed to Tuscola, when it
was lost and another version is that
it led to point two miles west of
Otisville where it turned south, and
as the roads are hard in that section,
it became impossible to follow it
further. There is rumor that at
some point south of the turn above
referred to the bandits abandoned
the Chevrolet sedan in which they
were riding and entered large Paige
tuoring car which was in waiting for
them, but this is only a rumor and
and cannot in anywise be confirmed.
Very soon after the hold-up de-
tectives were in consultation with
the bank officials and everything pos
sible will undoubtedly be done to ap-
prehend the criminals and recover the
booty.
Mr.. Alexander, the assistant cash
ier was very severely bruised about
the face and head when he was
knocked or thrown to the floor, but
gamely stayed at his post during the
afternoon and gave the officers such
assistance as he could.
The bonds taken from the bank
were unregistered and, of course,
negotiable, but the bank has a record
of all the numbers which will be of
assistance in apprehending the GRIM
inals should they be offered for sale.
The bank held these securities on de-
posit and they, like the cash, are full
ly and completely covered by insur-
ance so that while everyone realizes
the serious character of the crime,
no one locally will lose a cent.
To our mind, the circumstances of
this crime point out that we should
have in this township and every 9TH
er in the county a resident deputy
sheriff, paid adequately for his ser
vices, and ready for any such emer-
gency. We pay for such service, we
need it, it is logical, it worked out
well when it was in vogue before and
we ought to have it.
While many rumors are afloat, and
the officers possibly have some per-
sons under surveillance, so far as we
are informed they are not in poses
sion of any facts definitely connect
ing any person with the commission
Of this crime.

New Phosphate Industry.

The electric furnaces Of a southern
plant have been diverted from war
time products to the manufacture OF
phosphoric acid and potash, such ma
terials as synthetic pig iron, ferro-
manganese and ferro silicon being
found no longer profitable. In the
new industry, as described by the
Iron Age phosphoric rock is smelted
in the electric furnace, the phosphorus
being driven off as phosphoric oxide
suspended in the gases. Collection
of the gases and treatment by elec-
trical precipitation yields the phos-
phorus as fine powder, which ON
further treatment and concentration
becomes a superior product, free from
the impurities usual when sulphuric
acid is the disintegrating agent.
American shales are similarly treated
for the production Of potash, the
potassium oxides being formed In the
gases, and precipitated and collected.

OBITUARY
Rogers


Emory Rogers, formerly a well
known resident of this vicinity, died
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Myrtle Hunt, in the village of Turn
err, Thursday, December 16, 1920. He
was born in the state of New York,
April 10, 1853, and came to Michigan
with his parents when a small boy.
They settled in the township of Ar
bella, where he grew to manhood, and
experienced, together with his par
ents, many of the hardships of pion-
eer days. In 1876 he was married
to Rose Boyden. After the marriage
he lived for several years on a farm
in Arbela Township which he event
ually sold and moved to Reed City,
where he worked at the mason's
trade. After few years residence
in Reed City Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers re-
turned to Clio and purchased the
farm now occupied by their son,
VIM. Rogers. The family lived on
this farm for several years when they
moved to Flint. For the last two
years he has been residing with his
daughter in Turner, in whose home he
died. Mr.. Rogers was a kind hus-
band and father, an excellent neigh
Dor and was highly esteemed by all
who knew him. He leaves to mourn
their loss his wife and six children,
the latter being Mrs. Myrtle Hunt, of
Turner; VIM. Rogers, of Clio; James
Rogers, and Miss Vesta Rogers of
Flint; and Mrs. Maude Mcintosh, of
Green River, Wyoming. Mrs. Rogers
was on her way to California, from
the home of her daughter in Wyom-
ing, when Mr.. Rogers passed away
and as a consequence it was found
impossible to communicate with her
so that she might be in attendance at
the funeral. Funeral services were
held from the home of Mr.. Rogers
son, William, Sunday at 200 o'clock
p. M, Rev. Joseph Dibley officiating.
The burial was in Woodlawn ceme-
terry.

Monday morning, fell to the sidewalk
and expired within a few moments.
The cause of the death was cerebral
hemorrhage. 1t may be remembered

ed in his death He had spent his

time of his death, and enjoyed to the
fullest degree the respect and friend
