YOUNG MEN PLAN
 NEW CIVIC CLUB

Birmingham is to have new luncheon and civic club
 A number of the younger business men of the city have decided to launch the club, which will have a distinct line of work in that it's members will be all young men. elected to membership be- cause of their known ability and energy
 Those who are arranging for the or ganization have not yet picked a name, but are looking for a suitable one that would suggest their civic interests while at the same time not losing sight of their social and business lines.
 Work is being done on constitution, and the selection of meeting place and it is expected that the initial na<et- ing will be called in the next ten days. There are about twenty-five charter ru-m- bers
 If this club proves to be a success, and it has every indication of being one from the hearty co operation it has met among the younger business men of the city, Birmingham will have had the dis tinction of being the home of two civic organizations, and is the club is made an international body, of having three international presidents now living in the city. and of having been the former home of the fourth.

and directed play in grades and high
school. We are aiming to have each
child in the schools appear in public
entertainment at least once each
year We are trying to discover the
especial weaknesses of our schools
by means of scientifically devised
tests and from this basis to make
our instruction. We are trying to
secure more time for supervision of
work in all grades in order to secure
more concentrated action of all the
teachers.
But teachers and superintendent
make mistakes. Often we do not
understand the particular needs and
desires of the community because we
are not acquainted with the parents
of our pupils. Too often the only
time we are visited is when there is
complaint to be made. We are
working for the public and are re-
sponsible to the public. We ought,
therefore, to have helpful advice and
criticism from the public. / mean
that we need Parent Teachers AS
ISOLATION just as they have in other
communities so that we may meet
and discuss and come to a definite
understanding about the particular
educational problems which con-
front us in Clio.

A NEED FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL
SENTIMENT

| lam taking the opportunity towrite
series of articles in The Clio Mes
senger because superintendent has
practically no other way of making
himself known to the public which
employs him.
The Public Schools of Clio are
strictly public schools. The public
hires superintendent and teachers,
finances the organization, and runs
the school. The school is not so much
what the teachers make it as it is
what the citizens of this community
make it. If the school is good one
it is because the readers of this arti-
cle> have made it such; if the school
is not good one, it is due to the lack
of public school spirit as much as a
lack of administrative and teaching
ability. The public has the right to
have in its schools what is considered
best for the community as a whole.
The public should be proud of the
institution which it established and
maintains. There are certainly rea-
sons a-plenty why Clio should be
proud of its schools. While there are
many things that need improvements,
there is large number of features
which witness to the genuineness of
the community desires. In my opin-
ion there is not finer and, in many
respects, better equipped school
building and play ground in Genesee
County outside of Flint. The aver
age clean and wholesome spirit of the
boys and girls is credit to the COM
munity and its homes. The board of
education is the elect body of the
public and the sincere interest of its
members in school welfare is evidence
of the latent interests of the general
public. | say this earnestly and
without political intent.
The people of this community have
a right to know of some of the things
we have undertaken this year which
we believe will improve the schools
and pave the way for the great pos
sibilities of a school system here.
Our greatest undertaking is the in
auguration of the semi-annual plan of
promotion so that each child shall be
denoted, failed, or promoted by half
years only instead of by years. This
should lessen failure and increase
high school attendance. We have
aisle established a plan of supervised

AUTOS IN DEMAND
Local Dealers Are Unable to Fill all
 Orders Received

According to Ashdown automobile dealers in large and small cars, they are unable to keep up with the de- mand of customers this season, many advance orders being relayed direct to the factory This trouble, they say, is occasioned by under production complicated by freight congestion and car shortage Second hand cars are reported to be in demand.
 The car problem so far as it relates to the shipment of automobiles, has been partially solved through new departure in loading, the first to be seen in Ashdown having passed through here several days ago This consists of making an open air double decker of a flat car, which is protected from the weather with tarpaulin. While this more flimsy construction prohibits loading flat cars to capacity, it insures the quick dispatch of many shipments which otherwise would be interminably delayed,

FARM PRODUCTION CUT
Reduced One-Third by Labor Shortage
 Committee Declares.

Washington, June 10. - Farm pro duction is being cut one-third in many sections byka lack of labor, President Wilson wass told today in a memorial presented by a committee of farm or ganizations.
 Everywhere thousands of farm houses are idle and total of many millions of acres of land are lying uncropped," said the memorial Lack of bank credit and high interest rates are causing thousands of acres of good pasture land to go ungrazed A later shortage of both beef animals and dairy animals will be the result,
 "The wheat crop is reported nearly 900,000000 bushels short and the cold late spring has seriously affected the corn crop World supplied are short, also, the higher food prices seem in evitable. Bread lines and food riots are not beyond the possibilities of the next twelve months.'
 The memorial was signed by Gray Silver, for the American Farm Blu reau Federation; T. G. Atkeson for the National Grange, and R. F. Bow CT for the Farmers Union.
