ANNIVERSARY SURPRISE

A number of the friends of MIR. and
Mrs. Alex. Richardson met at their
home, Friday evening, February %,
the occasion being the twenty-fifth
anniversary of their wedding. 1t
was complete surprise to Mr.. and
Mrs. Richardson and short time af-
ter the arrival of the company Mr.. r.
was observed to be studying the cal
endar in order to ascertain the day of
the month, after which he began to
realize what it all meant A good
time was had in guessing contests
and other games and a bountiful
lunch was served. Mr. and Mrs.
Richardson were induced to stand to-
gether under the archway, as a re-
minder of the vows they took twenty
five years before. They were pre-
sented with gift appropriate to the
occasion and at an hour late for old
folks their guests departed, wishing
them many happy returns of .he an
niversary of their wedding day.

We are in receipt of cheerful
letter from w. N. Hines, of Airing
ton, Wash, in which he renews his
subscription to The Messenger, say
ing that he would have done so ear
lier but for the fact that he lives
quite a piece from Clio and has
found it unhandy to drop into our
Office. He says they have had
plenty of rain where he lives, dur
ing the winter, but very little snow,
not more than an inch, although the
mercury went to below zero. He
says they have had the flu, same as
in the east, but that there is one
powerful advantage in the country
there-they have no potato bugs.
We have 'em here, for fact, and a
few bugs even run around all winter.

PRICES FOR MILK

Thos. R. Petrie, superintendent of
the local plant of the Detroit Cream
cry Company, has received letter
from the general headquarters of the
company in Detroit advising him that
the price of milk, delivered at their
factory here during the month Of
March will be $3.50 per hundred.
The letter further states that price
of $2.75 per hundred, for the present
month, is being paid at the following
condensaries throughout the State:
Cass City, Ubley, Grand Ledge, Lake
Odessa, Hastings, Wayland, Cold
water, Hillsdale, Adrain and Hudson.
From this it will be seen that the
price in Clio is 15c higher than that
paid at any of the above plants. In
some places, it is said, the condensar-
les are closing down, as it has been
found difficult to market the product.

head to the Pasteur Institute, in that

Australian Water Holes.

A curious form of water hole 10
found In the deserts of western Aus
tralia, dry by day but yielding an
abundant supply of water by night.
The flow of water is preceded by
weird kissing and sounds of rushing
air. On examining one ii was found
that the water supply occurred in a
long narrow trench. at the bottom Of
which was thin plate of gneiss, sep
arated by cavity from the main rock
mass beneath. Apparently the heat
of the day causes this plate TO ex-
pand in the form Of depression, In
which the water retreats. When II
cools and contracts at night it forces
first air and then water back into the
trench.

LIVELY VILLAGE ELECTION

We believe that in our write-up Of
the Village caucus we said some
thing about the "peas and hominy"
that prevailed following the spirited
skirmish for the nominations. 1t ap-
pears that we were somewhat in err
ror regarding this matter, as the peo-
pie who failed Of nomination were
evidently not really pleased with the
arrangements, and carried on cam
paign on slips. Loving peas and
hominy, especially the latter, our en-
thusiasm for them probably carried
us farther than the facts warranted.
Anyway, the lame ducks staged aeon
test on election day that developed
into one of the liveliest contests ever
held in the village, making the re-
suit uncertain until the last vote was
counted. There were 179 women
and 281 men registered in the vii
lage and the fact that 387 votes were
cast shows that a very large per-
centage of electors exercised their
franchise. The results of the cleo
tion were as follows.
President
Charles f. Taylor, slips 1927
Fred M. Houghton ITS

VIM. G. Goodrich 361

Arthur L. Jewell, slips, III
Assessor
Lewis B. Fuller. 1875
Austin Cummings, slips 1913
OF the whole number of votes cast,
twenty-six were spoiled, mainly by not
being marked at the top in the circle
under the party name. The coun-
cilmen who "hold over" are Messrs,
Leonard Scholl, George Palmer and
B. E. Conlee.
Now then, in all sincerity, the edi-
tor has good friends among the per-
sonnel of each of these opposing
camps, and knowing something OF
the vicissitudes of city fathers in gen.
eral, he begs to express the hope
that they may all join hands to give
Clio a first class administration and
that their efforts may meet with all
the commendation they deserve.
AS people, the entire country over,
we are too much given to knocking
and nagging our public servants,
rather than giving them friendly
counsel and help. Possibly, in the
future, it would be well to have two
regular tickets in the field, thus Civ
ing the people a chance for an ex-
preston of opinion on matters of
public policy. 1t might be advisable,
even, for each party to outline its
policy in a brief platform, which
would enable the people to take sides
intelligently. All this could be ac-
complished with the best of good feel
ing and with results that should be
constructive.
