In the illustrated section of a re
cent issue of the Free Press there ap
peared a fine engraving of a large
number of the horses which the De
troit Creamery Company uses in the
distribution of milk and ice cream in
the city of Detroit. The explanatory
text states that the company uses
five hundred horses in this work,
nearly all dapple grays, and that tho
thirty-two head shown in the illus
tration represented an investment of
$8,000. The company buys only thj
finest horses it is posible to procure,
and, it is evident, finds them super
ior to automobiles for some classes
of work.

"With two years experience in
county offices, one of which was

deeds, I feel that I can co-operate
with the electorate of the city and
county in the administration of this
office in an efficient manner, If I
am their choice," declared Mr.
Moore in an interview. "I have just

the support of my friends for. circul

Richardson-Turnbuli
A very pretty and impressive wed
ding service took place in the M. E.
Church, last Sunday mornincr, when
Miss Florence Helen Richardson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Rich
ardson, of this place, became the
bride of Norman Turnbull, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Turnbull, of Burt.
The wedding came as a surprise to
most of those who were in attendance
.and furnished a solemn and yet
charming incident to the regular ser
vices. At the proper juncture, and to
the strains of the wedding march,
played by Miss Jessie McCormick, the
groom, accompanied by his brother,
Merton, as best man, marched down
the center aisle of . the church and
took their places before the altar.
They were followed by the bride, ac
companied by Miss Annah Habkirk
as bridesmaid. The bride wore a
charming bridal costume of white
canton crepe, with veil, and carried
a shower bouquet of pink roses. Th
bridesmaid wore a handsome gown of
peach organdie and carried white
roses. Rev. Arthur T. Camburn,
pastor of the church, performed the
marriage ceremony, using the beau
tiful and impressive ring service.
Following the wedding, an elaborate
luncheon was served to the bridal
party r.nd their immediate relatives,
numbering about twenty-five, at the
home of the bride's parents. For this
occasion the dining room was charm
ingly decorated with flowers in a col
or scheme of yellow and white. Mrs.
Dan. Durham, of Flint, presided as
matron of honor and the Misses Ruth
Chappell and Nina Gilmore assisted
in serving the luncheon, as maids of
honor, and wore dainty gowns of yel
low which harmonized with the gen
eral color scheme. Notable among
the ornaments of the table were an
elaborate bride's cake and a similar
one for the groom. Shortly after
the serving of the luncheon the brid
al pair, accompanied by the grooms
man and bridesmaid, left on a honey
moon trip to Fort Mackinaw and oth
er northern Michigan points, where
they expect to remain for about two
weeks. In conclusion, we feel privil
eged to state that the bride is a
charming and accomplished girl, a
graduate of Clio High School, a suc
cessful teacher in public schools for
the past two or three years, and pop
ular with the people of the commun
ity. We can also say that the groom
is a mo3t worthy young gentleman,
who holds a position of trust and re
sponsibility in Flint. We understand
that Mr. and Mrs. Turnbull will re
side in Flint and are assured in say
ing that they will have the best
wishes of all who know them for a
long, happy and prosperous wedded
life.-
Clark-Beamish
Miss Helen Clark of Clio and Mr.
Grant Beamish of Thetford were
married at the M. P. Parsonage on
Saturday, June 24th. Miss Clark is
a popular young lady of Clio and the
groom is equally so in Thetford.
They are taking their honeymoon
trip camping at North Lake. Their
many friends will wish them a long
and happy wedded life.
BILLIE SEES THE SIGHTS
Master Eben Reed has. received a
couple of letters from his friend, Bil
lie Hoff, who is now at New York
City, and who will spend his sum
mer vacation at a boy's camp in the
Adirondack mountains. In his letter
Billie says: "Arrived O. K. I have
already been out' to Staten Island
and have seen the Statue of Liberty,
Some old girl, I'll tell the world.
I haven't seen any ocean steamers
yet, but expect to. I've seen the Flat
Iron Building . This morning, while
our boat was coming down the Hud
son river, I saw a submarine. Gee,
but she was a going. I saw West
Point and a lot of other places. We
are going in swimming in the ocean
this week and are going to visit
Hoboken Island. Gee, I wish you
were here to see the sights. Your
Pal, Bill."
MRS. BURTON WANTS BACK PAY
Don. Burton, of this township, ap
peared before the Board of Supervis
ors, Wednesday morning, and de
manded an investigation of the salary
paid his wife while acting as matron
of the county jail. He claimed that
while the supervisors had provided
a salary of $125 per month for that
position, Sheriff Vette had paid his
wife but $30 per month and he want
ed to know what had become of the
remaining $95. The sheriff declared
that Mrs. Burton never had said a
word to him about the extra com
pensation until she and her husband
affiliated with another candidate,
while the Burtons claim that thev
spoke to the sheriff several times
about the matter. Chairman Jeptha
Skinner appointed a committee to
thoroughly investigate the matter and
report on Friday morning.

Hon. Peter B. Lennon, of Lennon,
representative of this district in the
state legislature, was a pleasant call
er at The Messenger office one day
last week. Mr. Lennon, we are most
happy to state, has made a record
during his term of service in the
legislature that is a credit to him and
to the district which he has the honor
to represent. He began that service
with definite ideas which he proposed
to endeavor to work out for the bet
terment of his fellow-citizens of the
state and he has had the ability and
the tact to carry the plans to a suc
cessful conclusion, coming to be
recognized as one of the strongest
men in the lower house. Last term
he proposed the bill, which became
a law, prohibiting aliens from the
ownership of firearms, a most valu
able law, the wisdom of which will
be more fully realized as the years
go by; a law directed toward the pro
tection and perpetuity of American
institutions as well as toward the
maintenance of law and order. But
ferhaps the most important piece of
egislation proposed by Mr. Lennon
is that providing for a state tax upon
incomes. Every thinking person
must admit that a tax upon incomes
is the fairest sort of tax, because it
is really based upon ability to pay.
Most people are also cognizant of the
fact that the various forms of
wealth, real and personal, upon which
taxes are levied, may be concealed or
manipulated so as to avoid payment
oi tne owners just share of the ex
penses of government. In the case
of an income tax this is more diffi
cult. Furthermore, the holders of
certain forms of tax free securities,
with which the country is at present
deluged, could be made to pay their
rightful share of taxes. We are sub
joining an excerpt from a published
commentary on the propriety of an
income tax, and while we cannot say
that this idea would be wholly ap
proved by Mr; Lennon, yet, we be
lieve, it will at least prove interest
ing to those who are favorable to
an equitable readjustment of the tax
laws of Michigan:
"The matter of exemptions has al
ways been the bugbear of an income
tax. To my mind there should be
absolutely no exemptions on net in
comes. I maintain that every man
and woman who has an income should
contribute something toward the sup
port of his or her state government.
If the rate were made small even
down to a quarter or one per cenj.
on moderate incomes it would not be
a burden upon anybody. If every
person in the state were paying Just
a little direct tax the tremendous
bond issues in our state and counties
would not be put over with such regu
larity. You nave heard on all sides
the phrase, "What we need is more
business in government." How long
would any private business last if
some outsider had the right to spend
all the income from the business.
That is precisely the way the state
and county business is run in Michi
gan. The thousands upon thousands
of people in the state who pay no
taxes have the power by ballot to
confiscate the homes and farms of
the state, the very rock upon which
our government rests. Any person
who has an income and will oppose
the payment of a nominal tax to the
state is not a good citizen.' '
Mr. Lennon is unopposed, so far a-i
we know, for renomination on the
Republican ticket, and in view of his
experience and standing, his constitu
ents will, in our opinion, act very
wisely in re-electing him.
RESULTS OF PROHIBITION
A subscriber send us the following
comment on the results -of national
prohibition, which we are very glad
to publish. We are sure the vast
majority of our citizens could never
wish to return to the manifold hor
rors that attended the era of the
American saloon. "The Pro-liquor
Press says that prohibition is a fail
ure and that conditions are worse
ment before the 18th amendment
was adopted. The following facts,
however, will counteract such state
ments. Two years of national pro
hibition has reduced the number of
drinkers of alcoholic beverages from
20,000.000 to 2,500.000, a decrease
of 17,500,000, says Federal Prohibit
ion Commissioner Haynes. The
same authority states that the entire
drink bill of the nation has decreased
$2,000,000,000 a year. This money,
formerly spent for drink, has gone
into savings banks, and other legiti
mate lines of business. The report
of the Board of Charities of the
District of Columbia for the year
1921 shows a continued decline in
the population of the workhouse and
other reformatory institutions. The
most encouraging fact to be noted
in connection with the workhouse is
that during the past vear the daily
average of prisoners was 208 as
compared with 334 the preceding
year, the lowest percentage of in
mates for eleven years."
