The doors of official Belgium and the

PASS THE APPLES

When every pool in Eden was a mir
ror,
Which to Eve revealed her dainty
charms,
She went about undraped, without a
thought or fear
That she had need to be alarmed.
1t was only when she had eaten of
the apple
That she became inclined to be a
prude
And found that she had, evermore, to
grapple
With the oft debated problem of
the nude.
From thenceforth she devoted her
attention,
Her time and all her money to her
clothes,
And this was the beginning of con-
vention
And modesty, as well, suppose.
Reactions set about in fashions re-
cent
Now girls conceal so little from the
men;
1t would seem in the name of al
that's decent,
Some one ought to pass the apples
around again."

DIES OF INJURIES

Robert G. Sproul, living near Birch
Run, passed away at his home, Mon
day, of cerebral hemorl hage, caused
through his having been the victim of
an auto accident, a week or ten days
previous. At the time of the acci-
dent, Mr.. Sproul and his two sons had
started on motor trip to Detroit,
and as they turned the corner east of
Birch Run, to come south, their ma
chine collided with another which was
bound for Saginaw. The immediate
results of the accident were that one
of the sons sustained badly sprained
wrist, while the other was severely
bruised, the father, apparently, being
but slightly hurt. Both autos were
quite completely wrecked and the
occupants of the one which was north
bound were badly bruised. A few
days after the accident Mr.. Sproul
became i'll and despite all that could
be done to relieve him, his condition
grew steadily worse until death en-
sued. Funeral services were held
from the home, Friday at 1000
o'clock, Rev. Joseph Dibley, officiat-
ing. Burial was in Gracelawn ceme-
terry, Flint.

THIS HELPS SOME

OF course, we have several large
taxpayers in Vienna Township, some
perhaps larger than the one herein
referred to, but not all of them have
come to our knowledge, as this one
has. We are talking about the De-
troit Creamery Company, which
has just paid a state, county and
township tax amounting to $1,860.10.
This, of course, was on its plant in
Clio. The owners of the condensary
are very progressive and are con-
stantly making improvements that
are in line with the most modern
practice in the manufacture of milk
products. This has resulted in many
thousands of dollars of expense for
them, but it has resulted in their hav-
ing, in the Clio plant, one of the best
equipped factories in the state.
At the present time an expert of the
Merril,-Soule Co., is engaged in max
ing changes which will result in an
increase of forty per cent in the ca
pacity of the milk powder depart
ment, which will be great aid in
caring for the great quantities of
milk that may be expected to be re-
ceived during the rush season.

The editor has been amused at the
delicate irony Of the little verses
which are subjoined. They were
sent to us by our good friend and sub
scriber, j. t. Daniels, of Clinton
County, and for their elucidation we
are printing the little note which he
sent along with them. First follows
the note and then the verses:
Editor "The Messenger"
"The' discussion in the press of the
present style in Women's dress, or
rather undress, it is to be hoped will
result in less exposure of the human
anatomy. The following lines from
an unknown author, treats this sub
ject in very unique and original
manner, and its reading and consid-
Grafton may help the needy cause of
more modest costumes for American
womanhood." j. T. ID.

Let every brother who can possibly
do so make it point to attend the

earlier years members would drive
for miles to be in attendance during
these ceremonies. They are just as
beautiful and important now as they
were then. Why can't we have the

OBITUARY
Cleveland


Our community has been deeply
saddened, this week, through the
death of Ezra S. Cleveland, which
occurred at his home in Clio. Tues
day, January 6, 1920. He was
one of the early pioneers Of this sec
ton and a man whose genial nature,
habits of industry and integrity of
purpose, made for him a warm place
in the hearts of many whose privilege
it had been to know him for a long
period of years. He had been in
failing health for the last three or
four years, and had been confined to
his bed for two weeks just prior to
his death, so that, while his demise
was not unexpected, it brought an
undiminished sense of loss to the
members of his family and his
friends. Mr.. Cleveland was born in
the City of Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 16,
1887, being, at the time of his death,
82 years, 2 months and, 20 days of
age. When 10 years Of age he came
to the Township of Thetford and
bought the farm, one mile north and
one-half mile west Of Thetfold Cen
ter, which he cleared up and made
one Of the most attractive and fruit
full in this section. He resided on
this farm until he retired and came
to Clio, eighteen years, ago. In
boyhood days, in Ohio, Mr.. Cleveland
was raised in the same neighborhood
with the Garfield family, went to
school with the brothers of the mar
tyr president, James A.. Garfield, and
always entertained for the latter an
abounding love and admiration.
During the progress of the Civil War
he enlisted in the service of his coun-
try, and it was his fortune to be in
Washington at the time of the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln and to
participate in the pursuit of his muir
derers. Opon his return from mil
tary service, he, like hundreds of
thousands Of his comrades in arms,
reverted to the pursuits Of peace
imperishable part of the glory of
American manhood. In his home he
was most loving and loyal husband
and father and those who stood in
these intimate relationships with him,
will ever find their sorrow at his
death tempered by pride and inspi-
ration that must spring from the
memory of his devotion and manli-
ness Beside his widow, Mr.. Cleve-
land is survived by three daughters,
Mrs. Minnie Hoffman, of Kingsley;
Mrs. John Schlosser and Mrs. LEILA
Schlosser, of Thetford. Funeral SER
vices were held from the home, on
Thursday, Rev. A. T. Camburn, Of
ficiating. Interment was in Wood
lawn cemetery.

Mrs. Lembach provided such splen-

In loving memory Of our little boy
Harold Elton Taylor
who passed to the beautiful world
beyond, Jan. 8, 1919, these lines are
printed:
1--WE had little treasure once,
He was our joy and pride,
We loved him, ah, perhaps too well,
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the one we loved SO dearly
Has forever passed away"
