CoNDENSARY REoPENS

Both the townspeople and country
people will be glad to know that af-
ter three months or more of idleness
the Clio Milk Condensary is again
open for business. The dairying in
dustry has come to be one of the
most important and dependable in the
state and the local condensary has
been a big factor in its development
in this section. We feel safe in say
ing, also, that it has added very
materially to the financial recources
of its patrons and the community, and
so we are all glad that it is once more
in operation. 1t is true that the mar
ket is not as high as it has been in
days gone by; possibly it will not be
for some time, but as the business
world readjusts itself the market is
sure to become better and with a
horizontal drop in the price of most
other commodities the basis of
exchange will eventually become sat-
isfactory. Manager Thos. r. Petrie
informs US that the big factory is all
tuned up for operation in every de-
partment.

day cake was brought on and three
year old Master Kenneth Monroe was

we'll known to many of our readers,

q view of the sunny land in which
she is making her home. She says:

We have been having some very hot

in August in Michigan. Every thing
is lovely here, the peach and apricot
trees are in blossom and the gardens
look fine, lots of oranges and lemons.
The trees are loaded with ripe fruit;
and flowers of all kinds, and the
pepper trees look lovely with their
beautiful dark green leaves and long
stems of red berries. They are used
for shade trees. We are both well
and Harry has all the work he can
do.

TO COOPERATIVE STOCK SHIP
PING MEMBERS

Clio, Mich, March 80, 1921
Members of the Clio Shipping AS
sociation:
Your manager was called to Lans-
ing last Thursday, March "a, to hear
a discussion in regard to commits
sion firm being formed at the stock
yards at Detroit by the State Ship
pers Association to handle the CO.
operative shipments, there being a
chance that the commission men do
not always play fair in such matters
as weighing before a proper fill, or
by being interested in a firm that is
buying stock, or, in the absence of
manager, cutting the price and
splitting the profits. We are not say
ing that these things all happen but
nevertheless, reports are coming out
that some of them have happened.
We are also charged $3.50 per bushel
for corn and $45 per ton for hay and
it is reported that holdovers do not
have to pay, for the Co-operators pay
that. Conditions such as these could
be looked after and in time be han
died. The managers authorize the
committee to make arrangements for
a position in the yards, also to finance
Tile management anu III TIE earliest
date possible to again call the mana
gers together and if they think it
wise, to go on with the deal. Our state
manager, Mr.. Compson, of Remus,
Mich, who is vice-president of the
National Association gave us some
interesting facts in regard to ship
ping. He states that the locals are
very anxious to organize. | am only
a representative of your business and
therefore am anxious for personal
reports, both from the shippers, and
directors, especially the latter, as /
am to be called back at an early
date and would like to vote intelli-
gently. If you want to learn more
about this movement, ask. If you are
interested either way, report, for in
my best judgement, unless otherwise
advised, | shall support this move
ment if the proper showing is made
at the next meeting.

Manager Clio Shippers Assn.

LIBERTY BOND HOLDERS

The Federal Reserve Bank at Chi.
cago has notified the Clio State
Bank that quite number of the orig
inal Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds are
still in the hands Of purchasers in
this locality and that before the next
installment of interest can be paid,
such bonds will have to be exchanged
for the permanent coupon bonds.
The next installment of interest will
become payable on April Is, and it
may thus be seen that persons hold
ing the original Fourth Loan bonds
should have them exchanged at once.
The Clio State Bank is ready to at
tend to this matter promptly for any
one who desires.

AUTO ACCIDENT

Alfred McLain and Bert McComb
were involved in real thrilling auto
accident at Mt. Morris the other day
from which Mr.. McComb emerged
with sundry severe bruises, Mr.. Nc
Lain practically unhurt, and the car
a partial wreck. The men were on
their way to work in Flint and had
turned out to pass some cars which
were ahead of them when a car un-
expectedly backed from yard direct
ly into their path. A collision was
inevitable and the result was that
the McLain car was completely over
turned while the other car was prac-
tically undamaged.

OBITUARY

Ole Peterson, notice of whose i'll
ness has appeared in previous issues
of this paper, passed away at his
home in Clio, Monday afternoon, Mar.

and six days of age. His illness had
its inception in paralytic stroke

weeks previous to his death. He had
been a resident of Clio since 1888.
Mr.. Peterson was of friendly, genial
nature, a man of industry, integrity
and of public spirit and was held in
high regard by an unusually large

and Martha Peterson. He was edu-
Gated in the common schools of Ber-
gen and resided in the land of his
nativity until about 23 years of age

the voyage on a sailing ship and was
48 days on the ocean. After re-
naming for a few days at different
cities in Canada and in the United
States, he came to Saginaw where he
accepted employment in meat mar
ket, in which business he had train
ing in the old country. After being
thus engaged for two years he open
ed market in Saginaw for himself
and for about fifteen years did a
large and successful business. In
1888 he sold his business in Saginaw
and came to Clio where he opened a
meat market which he conducted with
much success until his retirement
about two years ago. On October 2,
1888, Mr.. Peterson was united in
marriage to Miss Anna Crone, of
Saginaw, who survives him. He is
also survived by one daughter, Myrtle
NJ, and by one brother Sirene, of
this place. Funeral services were
held from the family residence on
Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Baldwin,

Church, of Flint. officiated, and Miss
Anna Louise Gilles sang two solos.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful. The burial was in Wood

clerk at Reid's Drug Store, who is to

his course in pharmacy, in the pharm-
aceutical college of that place, was
given a very pleasant farewell party,
by several young ladies and gentle
men at the home Of Floyd Pratt, on
Wednesday evening. About sixteen

lightfully spent with games and other
diversions. AS a slight testimonial
of regard, the guest of honor was pre-
sented with a handsome fountain pen.
Jack has made many friends in Clio,
all of whom will wish him the best
of good fortune wherever he may go.

The Messenger office has set the
type for six township financial state
ments this year and in doing this
work one fact has been specially out
standing. That is, that in all Of them
the amount Of delinquent taxes is
about three or four times as large as
usual. This indicates more clearly
than anything else that taxes are
high-too high. In the case of small
and poor farms, which have hitherto
just about furnished the necessaries
of life for their owners, the present
rate of taxation, or at least any in
crease over it, might easily result in
confiscation. 1t is true that many
things might be accomplished that
would be beneficial to society, many
that that would go to make life more
enjoyable, but we cannot hope to ac-
complish them all at one tinte. We
have not the money. Borrow it, they
tell us. Everyone knows the fate that
commonly attends folk who revel in
luxury on the paid on the INSTALL
ment plan. That fate can and will
just as surely overtake counties and
states that are recklessly extravagant.
Let us leave some responsibilities to
posterity beside the obligation Of pay
ing debts that we contracted for
them. Maybe they would like to
build road or something for them
selves.
