Southland-all of these will be rem

The Garner organization does
more, however. The company which
Mr.. Garner has gathered are finished

or university. The big program in

and classical numbers rendered with
an artistry that is little short of phe-
nomenal.

HELP WORTHY BESTOWED

The Messenger is very glad to state
that friends of Sam Gabor, who lost
his hand in a corn husker, a few
days ago, have subscribed about two
hundred dollars for him. This of
course, is fine help for Mr.. Gabor,
but considering the serious character
of his misfortune and his own WORTH
ness. it is not as large as it might
we'll be. Two hundred dollars will
not go too far When a man is slowly
learning to make one hand do the
work Of two and with four or five
little ones to look after meanwhile.
Taking this into consideration the
subscription list has been left at The
Messenger office and for few days
we shall be only too glad to receive
additions to it. Let us be reminded
that the glad Holiday season is at
hand and grasp the opportunity of
adding to our own JOY by making the
light to shine in dark places. Let
us appropriate the sentiment of a
little verse that runs like this:
"The bread that bringeth life | want
to give,
The water pure that bids the thirsty
live.
want to help the fainting day by
day.
I'm sure | shall not pass again this
way"

MASoNS ELECT OFFICERS

At the regular annual meeting of
Vienna Lodge, No. 205, f. & A. NJ,
held last Tuesday evening, the fol-
lowing officers were elected to serve
during the ensuing year:
w. NJ, Chas. III. Reed
S. W., David Crumrine
j. w., Herbert Haas
Sec'y, Earl Shorten
Treas, Floyd Pratt
S. d., Ed. Phillips
j. d., A. f. Hustler
Stewards, Fred Butler and Fred
Brock.
Tyler, George Bolton.
The lodge has prospered finely dur
ing the past year, under the leader
sail and now has membership above
250. The finances, also, are in very
satisfactory condition.
At this meeting, after a faithful
and very efficient service as treasurer,
covering period of seventeen years,
Ed. l. .Beeman announced his retire
ment. Very much to the regret of
the members of the lodge, his decis-
ion was accepted, and he was tender
ed a rising vote as testimonial to
his services and his long continued
devotion to the principles and inter
ests of Masonry. The ledger which
Mr.. Beeman has used, during his long
tenure Of office, is the same that was
used when the lodge was instituted
in 1873, and contains the names of the
original officers of the lodge, all of
whom, it is thought, are now dead.
The book is model of neatness and
accuracy.
At this meeting, also, as testi-
monial of his interests in caring for
the hall and properties of the lodge,
George Boulton was presented with
purse, a tribute which was
entirely deserved.

FRANK SHAW FATALLY HURT

Another tragedy was added to the
long and rapidly growing list of such
occurrences when, on Tuesday after
noon, last, Frank Shaw, a well known
farmer of this vicinity was struck by
an automobile and sustained injuries
which caused his death a few hours
later. The accident took place on the
Dixie Highway, south of Pine Run
u and not far from the residence OF
Clark Hill. 1t appears that Mr.. Shaw
who was accompanying bean thresh-
er outfit, which he owned, and which
was north bound, had halted the
same, stepped across the roadway and
was filling a small hand oil can from
a supply can, when large touring
car bound toward Flint struck him.
This car is said to have been the
property of A. H. Darger, a Saginaw
real estate dealer, and was occupied
by himself and his secretary, the lat
ter lady, who was driving. 1t is said
that the car was going at moderate
rate of speed, but still fast enough
to strike Mr. Shaw with terrific force,
throwing him a considerable distance,
breaking both legs, injuring his back
and inflicting, it is thought, other
internal injuries. The owner of the
automobile at once stopped his car,
picked UP the injured man and took
him to Hurley Hospital, where he was
given every attention that medical
skill could suggest, but despite which
he continued to fail until Thursday
morning at about eight o'clock when
he passed away. Mr.. Shaw was born
in Birch Run Township, February 8,
1882, where he resided practically all
of his life. Eighteen years ago he
was united in marriage with Miss
Jennie Loomis, who preceded his
death six years ago. About four
years ago he was united in marriage
with Miss Mabel Parker, who survives
him. He is also survived by his faith
er and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
d. Shaw of this place, and by two
children, Algoe, aged II, and Grace,
aged IL. Harvey, another son, then
a student in Clio high school, was ac-
cidentally drowned in the local mill
pond, while skating, January 81,
1919 Still another child preceded
the father in death. All of these
children were of Mr.. Shaw's first
marriage. Mr.. Shaw was greatly es-
teemed by all who knew him for his
industry integrity and his kindly.
helpful nature. He had seen much Of
affliction and bereavement, for a
man of his years, and had yet man
aged to preserve bouyant, hopeful,
courageous spirit, and all of his ac-
quaintances will join his relatives in
a sense of sincere grief at his tragic
and untimely death. Funeral SER
vices will be held from the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Shaw. in Clio,
Monday afternoon, at 900 o'clock.
Rev. Joseph Dibley will officiate. The
burial will be in Woodlawn ceme-

(Signed) Com.
We would also take this opportun-
ity to state that a practice meeting
for degree work by the newly elected
officers of the lodge will follow the

to confer the e. A. degree on a class

ening, December Is. A reception for
the faculty of the schools will pre-
cede the program proper. The re-
ception will take place between 1880

vited. Following is the program:

HARTFORD INDUSTRIES SUFFER
 FROM STRIKE OF sWITCHdEN

Hartford. May 13.-Hartford industry today faces the most serious situation it has encountered in all the turbulent times of the past few years. Several Hartford factories will be obliged to shut down if the switchmens strike con tinued a few days longer.
 Only six out of 100 or more switch men employed at the Hartford yards have remained at work Not an engine was moving in the yards from 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon until o'clock this morning. At o'clock Wednesday af- ternoon Supt. Carl A. Mitchell had said buoyantly: "All crews are working and I believe that we will be taking freight again Thursday" At o'clock not a switchman reported for work on the eve ming shift. This morning two out of the normal IA engines used on the first day shift were moving each manned by three men, Supt. Mitchell was in conference all morning behind closed doors with members of his staff.
 The local embargo on outgoing freight prevents Hartford shippers at present rom taking advantage of embargo mod lhcations permitting shipment on the New Haven road to points soutb and west of Maybrook and Harlem river and on the Pennsylvania road to points south Of those gateways and west of them as far as Pittsburgh.
