WILDMAN COMPANY ENTER
TAINS

The inclement weather on Wednes-
day marred the day considerably for
the delegation from this section
which expected to visit Bay City as
guests of the Board of Commerce and
The Wildman Rubber Company.
Nevertheless, number ventured out
into the rain and spent a very enjoy
able day at Bay City. Those from

Otis Cook. James Kerr and VIM.
Mcintosh of Birch Run, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Simon Westfall, J. II. O'Rourke
Mrs. Burton Johnson, Walter Judd
and Ralph c. Gillett of Montrose,
were also members of the party.
On arriving the party was taken to
the 63-acre site Of the Wildman Rub
Der Company, where the foundation
for the large plant is being con-
structed. The building that will
house the first unit of the great
plant will be 387x170 feet, three
stories and basement, being the larg-
est single unit so far constructed in
the country and in itself will give
Bay City and the State plant that
will rank seventh in size in the United
States.
The tremendous economic advant-
ages that Bay City has over other tire
centers in the world, were set forth
at the luncheon by G.. H. Parker.
Jas. c. McCabe, secretary of the
Wildman Rubber Company, who was
for 6 1-2 years secretary of the Bay
City Board of Commerce, gave a
short talk about the progress and
possibilities that Bay City enjoys.
Other prominent men of the city gave
short talks and all highly endorsed
the policies of the Wildman Rubber
Company.

on the Michigan Railway at $50

PUTS REDS TO WORK

According to the dispatches from
Germany, 120 Bolsheviki recently
deported from America, were met on
their arrival at Libau by Russian
soviet commissioner who demanded
that they sign a promise to join a
bolshevik labor battalion or else they
would be denied permission to enter
the country. Those possessing
means went to Danzig in order to
reach the Ukraine but the penniless
had no alternative but to join the
labor battalions. Thus their idea of
a bolshevist paradise was rudely
shattered General Pavelenko, who
drove out General Petlura, has as
sumed the dictatorship of the Ukraine
and has decided to fight the soviet
forces. He has organized an army
of 100000 Cossacks but he needs
supplies and ammunition. He in
tends to begin operations at once be-
cause he fears a bolshevist offensive
in the Ukraine and Poland in the
spring time when the Russians have
finished with Wrangle.

in mere complaining and too little
real effort to remedy conditions.
Too much class consciousness and too
little democracy and love of hu-

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

The annual sale of Christmas Seals,
the proceeds from which are used in
combating tuberculosis, is now under
way in Clio and Vienna Township.
The enterprise is being carried on
under the auspices of the Kings
Daughters, of Flint, which is assur-
ance that the object is worthy and
that the funds will be rightly used.
Locally, the school children will sell
the seals and they may also be had
at both the drug stores. Just little
help on the part of everyone would
enable those in charge of the enter
prise to accomplish a great deal in
this worthy cause. Buy ten or more
of the seals at cent apiece and help
some sufferer from the white plague
to have better Christmas than might
otherwise be possible. Out of the
fund secured from the sale of seals
last year one half of the salary of a
special nurse for the care Of tubercul-
osis patients was paid. The other
half was paid by the Kings Daugh-
ters. To these patients bedside care
is provided. Eggs, milk, groceries
and clothing being supplied as requir-
ed. Over 5000 quarts of milk have
been distributed for this use. Special
cases have been outfitted before be-
ing sent to Howell to the state sani-
torium, where blankets and clothing
are required of each patient. One
patient, little girl, was kept in a
Detroit sanitorium six months for
special treatment, which saved the
child's life. Wheel chairs have been
provided, comforts and care provid-
ed, calling for the entire time of the
nurse. A total of nearly 500 calls has
been made the last year.

OBITUARY
Grinnell

Amos Fillmore Grinnell was born
in the town of Barre, Orleans Co.,
N. Y, March 18, 1846 and died No
vember 25, 1920, aged "a years, 8
months and z days. He was the
youngest son of Amos and Rosamond
Whaley Grinnell. He was married to
Alice M. Warner February %, 1876,
who died March IL, 1905. On May
18, 1910, he was again married to
Mrs. Sarah j. Hicks, who died De-
cember 26, 1915. Mr.. Grinnell is
survived by one sister who lives in
California, and a brother who lives
at Albion, N. Y, two nieces and four
nephews. He was an active MEM
Der of the Clio M. p. Church for
many years, and in every respect was
a most exemplary citizen. Mr.. Grim
nell's friends in this community,
where he had resided for nearly or
quite fifty years, numbered all who
knew him, and by all of these he will
be borne in loving and lasting mem
ory. He was the friend of every good
work, an exponent of decent morals
and unfailing integrity, soldier of
civilization. 1t might be difficult to
say more of any man. Funeral SER
vices were held from the home of
Joseph Othenin, in Birch Run, Sun
day afternoon, the sermon being de-
livered by Rev. DR.. j. w. Will, of
Hillsdale, former pastor and intim-
ate friend of the deceased The in

BAD BUSINESS

Someone put the lighting systems
out of commission on six or eight
automobiles while their owners were
attending services at the M. T..
Church last Sunday evening. Some
of the machines had to be taken to
the shops before the owners could use
them in getting home. This was not
fun. 1t was crime and the per-
petrators could be severely dealt with
if their identity were discovered. No
use to abuse such folks, but we wish
it might be possible to say something
that would awaken a sense of fair
ness and decency in them.

ABOUT FLINT MARKET
"The Editor,
The Clio Messenger.
Dear Sir:

''The Editor,
The Clio Messenger.
Dear Sir:
May we ask you to give the follow
ing statement as much prominence as
possible in your publication. From
the fact that farmers from adjoin-
ing counties are driving on the Flint
Municipal Market we believe that the
''home-folks" should be thoroughly
advised of the activity going on there
every market day. Not only are
farmers taking advantage of the OPP
portunity but dealers and hucksters
are beseiging the Market Office re-
questing the privilege of selling on
the market. We want the farmers to
know that demand for their produce
exists and is apparently increasing,
and that to maintain the start already
gained it will be necessary for more
farmers to attend. If sufficient
number of farmers do not furnish
sufficient quantity of produce a wide
opening is left for dealers to get in,
and it is desired to operate the mar
ket as nearly as possible as a farm
ers' market purely. Let US empha-
size the advisability of farmers at
tending the market. Big loads are
not necessary Small loads of mixed
vegetables with few live or dressed
chickens, dressed hog, veal or beef,
some honey, cottage cheese, butter or
eggs, popcorn, in fact almost any
thing grown on the farm for table
use is being sold to good advantage
every market day. Many farmers
who at first were skeptical have
found it profitable to attend the
market every Wednesday and Satur-
day. Most of the trading is done be-
tween the hours of 500 and 1000
a. M, and these farmers are always
on the job at that time. They want
to keep it farmers market, and to
see it grow. 1t is absolutely up to
them and you. The regular market
days are Wednesday and Saturday
each week.
Very truly yours,
l.. G. Carey,
Market Director"

CAN THIS BE TRUE?

The following has been sent to The
Messenger for publication. We
could hope there might be some mis-
take about it: "Things have come
to pretty pass in Clio when young
men coming directly from Sunday
School will be bold enough to take
a lady's travelling bag from her bug
gy. If the contents Of the bag would
have been of any use to the young
gentlemen it perhaps would be easier
for US to understand the motive
which prompted the act.
