BANQUET WAS CHARMING

The annual banquet of the Alumni
Association of Clio High School, held
in the Auditorium, last Friday even
ing was attended by about seventy
five members and guests. Bernard
Doyle presided very happily as toast
master and several responded to
toasts in vein in which fact and
fancy were pleasantly intermixed.
Attorney Guy Selby of Flint, an
honorary member of the Association,
made very instructive address on
"Signs of the Times" in which he
challenged the patriotic loyalty of all
serious minded citizens in order that
radicalism may be thwarted and de-
cent representative government pre-
served. The class stunts were sew
eral in number and provided no little
merriment The class of 1918 won
the cup trophy for the largest at
tendance, seven of the twelve mem
bers being present. Officers for the
ensuing year were elected as follows
Bernard Doyle, president; Dorothy
Hymen, secretary; Darrell Hendrick-
son, treasurer. The Ladies Aid of
the M. E. Church catered most ac-
ceptably and the tables aid room were
tastefully decorated for the occasion.

VETERANS STILL ACTIVE

The editor and family went to
Flint, Wednesday, to witness the par
ade held in connection with the State
Encampment of the G. A. r. The
sight of the old comrades of '61 to
'e5, marching down the broad avenue
with bands at the head of the various
divisions and with flags flying was at
once pathetic and inspiring. There
was surprisingly large number of
the veterans in line and they made
a most creditable appear ance. These
men fought in what was in many res
poets the most vital armed struggle
in the worlds history. They fought
to make secure the guarantees of free
dom and popular government as laid
down in the Federal Constitution.
May God grant that every American
citizen of the present has proper
sense of the import of their heroic
endeavors and disposition to main
tain at all hazards, and unimpaired
the heritage they have bequeathed
The enemy of the constitution is the
enemy of civilization and should be
dealt with accordingly. Long live
the spirit of the G.. A. R.

INTERESTING POMONA

The meeting of Genesee County
Pomona Grange, held under the shade
of the magnificent trees at the home
of Ray Chatfield, at Thetford Center,
last Friday, was well attended, all
sections of the county being repre-
sented. The program was very in
teresting throughout and the address
by Rev. F. A. Perry of Detroit, deal
ing with the activities Of Bolshevists
in the United States and the need
for adherence to the constitution and
to fundamental principles of right
eousness and fair dealing was extra
ordinarily able. The address on
"Americanization Work" by Mrs.
Weissinger and the joint debate were
also highly interesting. Mr.. and Mrs.
Chatfield and the other members of
Thetford Grange proved themselves
very gracious entertainers.

HOW THE MONEY WENT

Many people of this section have
contributed money to the relief of the
people of Armenia and Poland and
others of the war devastated coun-
tries of Europe, have sometimes done
so, we apprehend, because we have
shared the feeling, with the idea that
a large portion of their gifts were
used up for the purpose of paying
official salaries. 1t was a gratifying
assurance to us, therefore, OF re-
ceiving the official report of the Near
East Relief, as furnished to Con-
gress, to note that out of total of
$14,956,336.89, contributed in the
fiscal year ending December 81,
1920, but $620,674.21 were expend-
ed for administration expenses of all
kinds. We doubt that better show
ing can be made by the finest busi-
ness management, under private own
ership, in the country. The people
of the United States have done a
magnificent work in the Near East
and in China, as well, work which
will rebound to their credit and pros.
perity, with added interest, in times
that are to- come.

Underhill

John B. Underhill, for many years
a well known resident of this locality,
but who had latterly made his home
in Flint, passed away Wednesday,
June Is, 1921, of heart trouble, his
death occurring very suddenly. He
had, however. been in delicate health
for the past ten years, having been
afflicted with the malady which final
ly caused his death. Mr.. Underhill
was born in Thetford Township, Feb.
%, 1878, and grew to manhood on
the old homestead where he was born.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Bessie Farman, June Is, 1904. Af-
ter the death Of his father he worked
and managed the farm until remov-
ing to Flint, as above stated. After
taking up his residence in Flint Mr..
Underhill worked for two years in
one of the factories and for the last
five years, and until the time of his
death, was in the employ of the Free
man Dairy Co. He was a man of
exemplary habits, splendid husband
and father and a worthy citizen
whose loss will be irreparable in his
home and will occasion sincere grief
in the hearts of all who knew him. In
his immediate family Mr.. Underhill
is survived by his widow and three
daughters, the latter being Irene,
Pauline and Arlene, all of whom re-
side at home; also by four brothers
and five sisters, as follows: Charles
Underhill, of Flint; Elmer, Clay
ton and Fred Underhill, all of
Clio, Mrs. Ada Taylor of Clio, Mrs.
May Cross, of Grand Rapids, Mrs.
Jessie Karslake, of Vanderbilt, Mrs.
Ella Berry of Gaylord, and Mrs.
Blanche Zickgraf of Sumpter, South
Carolina. The remains were brought
to Clio and funeral services were
held from the home of Fred Under
hill on Saturday, Rev. A. T. Camburn
officiating. The remains were laid
at rest in the family lot in Pine Run
cemetery.

CHURCH WEDDING
Fleming-Gillett

A very pretty and impressive mar
riage ceremony took place at the
Methodist Episcopal Church, last
Sunday morning, during the regular
service hour, when Miss Jessie lmo-
pene Fleming became the bride OF
Earl I. Gillett. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. A. 7. Camburn,
pastor of the church, who used the
ring service. The bridal couple were
attended by Earl Maltby, OF Flint.
and Miss Evelyn Gillett, sister OF
the groom. Little Miss Mildred
Doyle was charming as ring bearer.
The bride wore handsome gown OF
white charmeuse with a white moline
veil and carried white rosebuds,
while the bridesmaid carried pink
rosebuds. Miss Lola Newman played
the wedding march. At the conclu-
sion Of the service the happy couple
received the Fluctuations of their
many friends. The bride is daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. William Flem-
ing, of Evart, and is graduate OF
the High School of that place as well
as of the County Normal. For the
past year she has been member OF
the faculty OF the Clio schools, and
in this capacity, as well as through
her active work in church and social
circles, has made many warm friends.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. 1. ID. Gillett, Of Clio, is gradu-
ate of Clio High School and an un-
dergraduate of M. A. c., which latter
institution he left to enter the army
during the period Of the World War.
Both young people are of most ex-
cellent character, useful in every
moral and intellectual enterprise in
the community where they have re-
sided, and as a consequence will have
the sincere best wishes of everybody
for a happy and prosperous welded
life. Sunday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Gillett left on a honeymoon trip to
various points of the state, going by
auto, and on their return may reside
during the summer with the groom's
parents, or, possibly, may attend
summer school. The bride has ac-
cepted a position in the public
schools of Flint, in which city she and
her husband plan to make their
home, beginning about the first of
the school year.

MORE ABOUT HEDGEHOcs

Our readers will probably recall,
some of them, at least, little arti-
Gle about the habits of the hedge
hog, (which appeared not long ago in
our columns the accuracy of which
was called in question by local
hunter, Ralph Alvord. In continuing
this discussion we want, first of all,
to call attention to the fact that we
have often commended the excellence
of the literary features of The Mes
senger, which are applied in large
measure, by the service which we
have been receiving for many years
past from The Western Newspaper
Union. This company is the largest
of its kind in the United States. en-
ploying the most able authors and
writer's and covering the corrtry
from coast to coast :th it's service.
That the company las real reali.a-
ton of its obligation to it's patrons
and the public, and that little things
are not beneath it's notice, is dem
onstrated in a gratifying manner in
the matter of the hedgehog contro-
versy. Although it was an unimpor
tent item, it was supplied by the w.
N. u. and they noticed that its accur-
acy had been called in question, and
the following letter will show what
pains they took to demonstrate the
reliable character of their service:
Dear Mr.. Reed:
Quite by chance in a recent issue of
| The Messenger we noticed your little
discussion Of the hedgehog which was
caused by little item in our service
week or two previous.
On general principles, we took this
subject up with our editorial head
quarters and quote herewith the let
ter received from our managing edi-
tor.
81 have browsed through various
encyclopedias and other books of
reference in search Of dope on the
hedgehog" with net results as fol-
| lows:
The hedgehog" is a native of the
eastern hemisphere and is not found
in America. The porcupine is COM
monty and incorrectly called "hedge-
hog" in the parts of America which it
inhabits.
"Cassell's Natural History" says of
the porcupine:
"The porcupine lives in holes
among the rocks, or in a burrow,
which he makes for himself in ordin-
/ ary grOunu. III tnlS retreat ne passes
the day in sleep, coming forth in the
evening in search of food***** dur
ing the winter he passes most Of his
time in his habitation, without, how
ever, falling into a torpid state,"
Which seems to bear out the conten-
tion of the gentlemen who kidded Mr..
Reed about the piece of fillup.
"The conclusion is that the true
hedgehog is alternating animal, but
the porcupine, or what Americans
incorrectly call the hedgehog, is not
alternating animal"
While the subject is Of no vital
Importance, it will give you the op-
portunity to square yourself in The
Messenger with the gentleman who
claims that he has shot hedgehogs in
America, as from scientific records
it is shown that the true hedgehog
is not found in America, except per
haps in zoos and museums.
Very truly yours,
Western Newspaper Union,
w. F. Panzer.

FARMER WANTS CHANCE

The average intelligent, patriotic
farmer is not asking for special
privileges. If proper regulatory laws
insure him free and open field for
the exercise Of his ability, he will
establish a place in the commercial
world which will be not only a source
of credit and profit to himself but
also to the country at large. All the
American farmer wants, and has a
right to have, is an equal chance with
other business men, fair and just
reward for labor performed. Every
mansin every business is entitled to
a profit for the contribution he makes
to the sum of human happiness, as
happiness is represented in better
living.-Selected.
