AN APPEAL TO FARMERS

The editor of The Messenger wishes
that he knew how to make this ap-
peal reach the hearts of those of his
fellow citizens to whom it must be
addressed-the farmers-that ad-
mirable, Industrious class which in a
larger degree than any other. per-
haps, realizes and discharges its OBJ
legations to God and fellowmen.
We know that in spite of unfavorable
seasons, low prices and adversely OF
eyery kind, the farmers ever exhibit
a warm heart toward the suffering
and destitute. Living close to nat
ure, they naturally partake of nat
ure's abounding generosity and 80 we
are venturing to ask them for an
other contribution to the cause of
humanity. This appeal is being made
throughout the state to farmers and
in many counties they have already
responded by shipping carloads of
grain to the seaboard whence it will
be exported to Armenia and other
countries of the Near East to sus-
tain the lives of millions of mothers
and children. We have already kept
these wards of ours for the past two
or three years and to desert them
now, when the goal of self-support
and rehabilitation is in sight would be
a sad commentary on the incon-
stancy and forgetfulness of great
and rich America. Our pen is not
adequate to the task Of picturing the
pathetic conditions that exist over
there; the wan faces, the stunted,
emaciated bodies and the mothers
tears, as day after day they see their
little ones wasting away and nearing
the grave through hunger. If we
could only see them, as they exist,
our hearts and our purses would open
instantly. May God give us the Wis
ion to see and feel and measure up
to our responsibilities in this emer-
gency. Any farmer who has bushel
or more Of any kind Of grain to give
may leave it with F. M. Houghton,
at the Clio elevator who will see that
the proceeds reach relief headquar-
ters. The Messenger cannot give
~rain but will give the price of a
bushel of wheat. How many will join
us in this most worthy and merciful
cause. Perhaps, perhaps-the day
will come when the bread we thus
cast upon the waters be most thank
fully received upon its return.

MOTHER FISH SUPPER

This time it is to be served by the
ladies of Thetford Center M. f.
Church. The date is Friday, Decem-
Der 2, and supper will be served in
the basement of the church from 100
o'clock on. Of course, the men lay
claim to considerable when it comes
to cookin' fish, but really they are
not in the same class with the ladies.
1t is just their natural and ornery
conceit that makes 'em talk that way
and on December 2, as noted above,
the Thetford ladies will teach them
how good fish can be when cooked
by experts. The price will be only
25c for adults and 15c for children,
which is scandalously cheap consider
ing the feed that will be prepared.
Everybody has bid to attend.

Not His Job.

"I'm not supposed to do that" said he,
When extra task he chanced to see
"That's not my job and it's not my care,
So I'll pass it by and leave it there"
And the boss who gave him his weekly pay
Lost than his wages him that day.
"Pm not supposed to do that" he said
THAT duty belongs to Jim Fred"
So little task that in his way,
That he could have handled without delay
Was left unfinished; the way paved
For a heavy loss that he could have saved.
And time went and he kept his place
But he altered his easy pace,
And the folks remarked on how well he knew
The line of the task he was hired to do;
For never once he known to turn
His hands to things not of his own concern.
But there in his foolish rut he stayed
And for all he did was fairly paid,
But he never worth dollar
Than he got for his toll when the week Ger;
For he knew too well when his work through
And he'd done all he was hired to do
If you want to grow in this world young man,
You must do every day all the work you can;
If you find task though its not your bit,
And it should be done, take of it;
And you'll never conquer rise if you
Do only the things you're supposed to do

TO THE PEOPLE OF Upton
COUNTY

At the time of my offering for rep
resentative from this county in the
state legislature it was my intention
to serve out my term and to devote
my time and energies to the service
Of my constituents. Since that time
business conditions, involving impor-
tant interests Of other property com
mitted to my care, have arisen that
could not then be foreseen that make
absolutely necessary my presence in
Covington during a good part of the
time while the legislature will be in
session and / feel that it would not
be right to my constituents to con-
tinue to hold the office when unable
to give it all my time and attention
during the session of the legislature.
| have therefore deemed it my duty to
RESIGN, so as to give the people
chance to elect some other man who
can give to their business the time
and attention it ought to have.
deeply appreciate the honor paid to
me and the confidence EXPRESSED in
me by being elected to the office,
and it was only after weeks of Sc
rious THOUGHT and after every at
tempt had been made to arrange the
matter otherwise, that | came to the
conclusion that it was my duty to
resign.
This the nth dav of January, 1921.

FRONT-PORCH PLAN
FOR INAUGURATION

President-Elect Warren Harding
suggestion that his inauguration
take place on the east portico Of the
capitol has been ratified formally
by Joint congressional committee in
charge of the ceremonies.
The ''front-porch" plan, members
said, would be carried out literally
and every possible dollar of expense
eliminated. No spectators stands,
benches, or even camp stools would
be provided they added.
Congress, the supreme court and
other officials will assemble on the
capitol portico. A small stand will
be built on which Senator Harding
will stand in full view of the as
semblage expected, and a sound
simplifying device will be installed
over the president-elect's head, so
that all in the crowd may hear his
inaugural address.
