MI BIAS, the only son of an
VT old soldier, had reached the
age of seventeen when his
uncle, the village priest, who had
taught him a little Latin, Greek and
logic, sent him off with 40 ducats and
a bad mule to study divinity at Sala-
manca.
His adventures began Immediately.
At his first stop he was cheated out
of his mule; as he was eating his din
ner willy flatterer invited himself to
be his guest and showed his gratitude
by the good advice never to be taken
in by praise. He had to pay an exoi4
bitant reckoning and went on his way,
''giving to as many devils as there are
saints in the calendar, the parasite,
the landlord and the inn."
He soon fell into the hands of bah.
dts, who made him join them on their
raids. In one of them they captured
Dona Mencia, wife Of the Marques de
Ia Guardia, and brought her to their
cavern. Gil Bias pretended to be III
and escaped with the grateful lady.
He was arrested as one of the ban
recognized by one Of their victims, and
his pockets were full of money, he
was thrown into jail. After severa
weeks Imprisonment his innocence
was established, but the jailer hat
robbed him of everything.
At Burgos he sought out Dona Men
cha who presented him with hun
dred ducats and costly ring.

SPECIAL SERVICES

Again comes the call to enlist our
services in a good cause. We still
are in need of earnest people in con-
centrated prayer to pave the way for
Evangelist p. H. Kadey and party.
Reports from Rev. A. t. Camburn
who has just returned from Detroit
where Rev. P. H. Kadey is holding
meetings are to the effect that THE
evangelist and party are fine and far
better than expected. The evange-
listic party consists Of Rev. Kadey,
who has been doing work of the kind
for many years, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Beckman who will have charge Of the
chorus work. All these people come
very we'll recommended. The place
where prayer meetings will be held
February 3, 1921, will be announced
Sunday.

NEW FEATURES

We want to call the attention of
our readers to the very complete
market reports, furnished by the u.
S. Bureau Of Markets, which appears
on the inside pages Of this paper from
week to week. These reports are
probably as complete and authentic
and as free from bias or the specula-
tive element as any that can be had
and we are sure that our farmer
friends will be glad to get them. We
want, also, to call attention to the
Condensed Classics that are appear
ing every week in this paper. This
weeks installment is "Dombey and
Son" from the immortal story by
Charles Dickens. For the busy man
or woman this series of articles pro-
vides chance for knowledge of the
best literature with a minimum ex-
penditure of time. Then, too, we de-
sire to speak again of the series of
articles appearing from week to week
under the head ''Today's Geography"
These are splendidly interesting and
just as splendidly informative. Moth
ing better relating to the subject
can be had in any OF the great maga-
zines or elsewhere. We hope our
readers will look for these features
each week and we know that if they
do they will be amply repaid.

The Clio Fire Department has been
reorganized, the organization now be-
ing as followss Pearl Chown, chief ;
Floyd McCradE, first engineer; Fred
Miller, second engineer; Orville Cum
mings, first ineman; Arthur Hoff,
second linemah; l.. d. Hayes, Floyd
Pratt, H. G. Jones, nozzlemen. The
personnel of the new organization is
first-class in every respect and the
boys will have chance for career
of great usefulness in the village.
Because of the important part this
organization will have in the affairs
of the community we trust and be-
lieve it will have the cordial and sub
stantial support of all. we should
like to mention one other matter in
this connections, and that is that the
firemen have been considerably
hampered in the past by persons who
were not members of the company
climbing onto the engine and riding
to the scene of fire. This is OBJ
jectionable to them and their request
that the engine be reserved for the
use of members of the company only
is very reasonable.

PASTOR WENT SOME

Rev. A. T. Camburn managed to
crowd an unusual number of exper-
fences into a trip which began Mon
day morning and ended Wednesday
morning-just about forty-eight
hours. First, he went to Howell
where he preached funeral sermon
for former parishioner belonging to
the Marian church. Then he went
to Stockbridge, Pinckney and Detroit,
where he visited friends, and con-
-cluded his visit in the latter city
by attending one of the evangelstic
services being held by the Kadey
'evangelistic party. This is the party
which will open series of services in
Clio on the 18th of February and we
are privileged to say that Mr. Cam
burn was greatly pleased with the
service he attended and found the
people of Detroit were very enthu-
siastic concerning the work of the
evangelist and his helpers.

TRLND OF FARM PRICES

In this period of general price
fluctuation, no Single feature of the
situation has enlisted more attention
from people of all classes than that
relating TO farm crops. Some people
seem to think the famer has no cause
for complaint while others think he
is amply justified in seeking relief
by legislation or otherwise from a
condition, they hold, he is injustly
dealt with. Touching this great ques-
ton, the following from a very re-
cent government publication should
be informative:
"The level of prices paid pro-
ducers of the United States for the
principal crops decreased about At
per cent. during December; in the last
ten years the price level increased
in like period about 2.4 per cent. On
January 1, 1921, the index figure of
prices was about 46.6 per cent lower
than year ago, 41.8 lower than
2 years ago, and 1914 per cent lower
than the average Of the last ten years
on January 1. The price of meat
animals-hogs, cattle, sheep and
chickehs-to producers of the United
States decreased 18 per cent. from
November Is to December Is; in the
last ten years prices decreased in
like period / per cent. On Decem-
ber Is the index figure of prices for
these meat animals was about 26.5
per cent. lower than year ago, 36.7
per cent. lower than years ago, and
1.6 per cent higher than the average
of the last ten years on December
15."

BANK CLOSES EVENINGS

Owing to the present hazard of
robbery, which is we'll understood by
everybody, The Clio State Bank will
not be open for business on Satur-
day evenings, as has been the prac-
tice heretofore. This is eminently a
wise plan and the bank officials hope
that the public will cheerfully COM
ply with the new rule. By bearing
the matter in mind nearly everyone
will find it not inconvenient to trans
act all necessary business during the
regular daily banking hours.
