at which she is an exhibitor, she has

full that business will speedily resume
a condition of normal prosperity and
the plant opened for business again.
The letter. is self-explanatory and is
as follows:
"Mr. T. r. Petrie,
Clio, Michigan.
Dear Sir:
Owing to present conditions we
are obliged to close our plant at
Clio commencing January 1, 1921.
e had been in hopes to continue
during the winter as we had started,
but conditions are becoming worse
and we are compelled to take this
step.
We are in hopes that we will be
able to open up again for operations
within a month, but cannot state
positively at this time. However,
we will give patrons due notice
as soon as we are able to do so.
We will keep the factory open to
buy cream for butter making pur-
poses, for which we will pay the very
highest market price.
Yours very truly

OFFICER MADE GOOD

We want to say for William Zim-
mer, who has been serving as special
night officer on the streets for the
past two weeks, that we have enjoyed
more quiet and that there has been
better order during that period, in
our judgment, than for several
months past. We hope and believe
that some arrangement will be made
to see that this good work is continu-
ed. We believe the people Of the
village would be perfectly willing to
pay any reasonable cost of such pro-
lection because they realize that law
lesness is growing thing and that if
it is unrepressed it results in the more
serious class of crimes and reacts up
on everybody.

SALT YOUR COAL

A lady friend of The Messenger,
who is very observing and practical,
tells us that the application of brine
made from coarse salt to soft coal
before it is put into stove or furn-
ace will make the fuel burn better, go
further and leave a much smaller
amount of ashes. She says they
have given the plan trial in her
home and that it works perfectly.
1t certainly wouldn't cost much and
it is worth trying.

 Entire families that worked in the local canneries last summer made good wages and are said to have liked the work, after they got used ito it. Another result of the work was that trained hands have been educated who will be familiar with the work this summer and prove worth more to the canneries. Dur ling the war period many Alaska families secured for the first time a practical knowledge of canning and packing fish and now form a considerable army of workers who
