PLAY ARTISTIC SUCCESS

The boys and girls of Clio High
School who staged the play, Border
land" at the Auditorium, last Tues
day evening, are worthy of warm
commendation. The parts were all
we'll taken and the play enlisted the
close attention of the audience from
the raising of the curtain until it
went down after the last act, the APP
plause being frequent and spontan-
eous. 1t would be superfluous to
mention the different parts in de-
tail, as all were exceptionally well
taken. Superintendent Swift coach
ed the boys and girls in rehearsing
the play and is certainly entitled to
thanks for his good work. The only
regrettable fact connected with the
affair was that the weather was very
disagreeable and the attendance not
as large as it should have been.

MIcHIGAN's SENIOR SENATOR

The candidacy this year of Sena.
tor Charles T.. Townsend, of Michi-
gan, for reelection to the Senate i'm
poses a serious obligation upon the
State which he has served in that
body with such distinction. Men of
his caliber and proved ability should
be reelected without being obliged to
divert their time and thought from
the important duties which engage
their attention in Washington. His
success upon which he could safely
count at the polls din November,
would reflect the evcellent judgment
of the people of his State.
Mr. Townsend has been a close
student of government and econom-
les. He has been closely identified
with most of the important questions
which have come before Congress
since he entered the House in 1908,
becoming an authority on railroad
and water transportation, including
the Great Lakes and Atlantic ocean
waterways project. He has been
especially active in shaping legisla-
ton providing for good roads, which
will give employment to thousands Of
men. AS chairman of the Senate
committee on postoffices and post
roads and as the ranking member of
the interstate commerce committee,
he holds two of the most important
assignments under the Senate organ
ization and occupies a position of
much power and influence. He is
the kind of senator the Senate could
i'll afford to lose-Washington Post.

TO MISS KATHLEEN MURPHY

The editor was greatly pleased this
week to receive a friendly little let
ter from Miss Kathleen Murphy, of
Flint. Indeed he could easily be pre-
vailed upon to confess that he always
feels pleased and bit flattered when
the young ladies write friendly let
ters to him, because he takes it as
an indication that while his hair is
growing grayer around the edge and
thinner in the middle there is still
something of the youthful spirit
about him that on certain delight
full, and all too rare occasions, elicits
sympathetic response from the glad
and optimistic heart of youth itself.
While this reciprocal understanding
exists the editor is prone to fiattef
himself that he is not grown so very,
very old and that he is yet part of
the bright and living world about
him. He first met the winsome Miss
Kathleen at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. George Garrett and, frankly,
liked her, the more so because his
friends, the CARROTS, were her de-
voted admirers and advocates, and
thus he felt flattered and gratified
when, in the midst of her busy life,
she found time to write even this
short letter, which indicates that she
had been a little bit impressed and
that she remembered:
Dear Mr.. Reed:
How are you? / feel pretty good
because / am six years old today.
Tell Uncle George that / wrote you a
letter. Good bye and good luck,
Kathleen Grace Murphy,
722 West Dayton,
Flint, Mich.
Of course, we want to congratu-
late Kathleen on the attainment Of
her sixth birthday. We are glad to
know that she was well and happy
on that joyous occasion and with our
congratulations we want to express
the hope that on all of her birth
days, throughout long lifetime, she
may continue to be blessed with the
pure heart, the responsive soul and
the generous impulses that made her
so dear to her parents and friends
when she was six years old. For the
future we are going to recommend
to her a little verse of Charles
Kingsley's:
"Be good, sweet maid, and let who
will be clever;
DO noble things, not dream them
all day long,
And so make life, death and that
vast Forever
One grand, sweet song"

A GENEROUS OFFER

E. R. May very generously author
ICES us to say that he will accept
limited class of boys and girls, from
IL to 16 years of age, who wish to
learn the violin, giving his services as
instructor without charge as long as
his health permits. The instruction
would be given in class and pupils
would, of course, have to furnish
their own instruments. Mr.. May is
a splendid violinist and his unselfish
generosity in giving his talent for the
cultivation of aspiring youngsters OF
this vicinity is certainly worthy of
the highest commentator.
