the recent enactment by Congress of laws
favorable to the wool growers of the United

tions, most earnestly protest against the re-
peal or modification of the present law in

requested to stand by the wool growers OF

Maple Sugar.

The following letter from Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Mason will be of inter
est to maple sugar makers who propose to
apply for the United States bounty:
Enquiry has been made at this Office for
information relative to packing and samplng
of maple sugar additional to that given i'm
the regulations which have been recently
issued
My attention has been called to the fact
that many of the smaller maple sugar pro-
ducers are accustomed to manufacture the
sugar into small cakes or bricks and also
into smaller circular and cOne-shaped cakes
and bring them to market in large baskets
and even i'm meal bags and blankets. When
the sale is effected the basket or other re-
ceptacle is empted and taken back by the
farmer. The question is raised whether
these small producers will be obliged to put
up their products i'm specially prepared pack
ages,
Maple sugar may he put in cakes but the
cakes should be incl0sed in packages which
can be marked as prescribed. The sugar
upOn which bounty is to be claimed must be
in packages containing not less than ten
pounds each. Each producer should have
the packages as nearly uniform i'm size as
practicable, in order that the net weight Of
the sugar may readily be ascertained. The
packages put up by each producer must be
numbered serialy, commencing with No. /.
The packages must be marked with the
producers name and the serial number of
the package. The weight of the empty
package to be deducted as tare should he
plainly marked upon each package before it
is filed.
1t will not answer the requirements to
have the sugar put into baskets, meal bags
and blankets. They should be put into
packages such as are required for shipment
Sugar should not he brought to the govern
ment weigher in bulk and then taken by the
producer to be shaped in whatever merchant
able form he desires.
In regard to the question Of sampling
sugar presented in the form of cakes, you
are informed that it will not be necessary to
use trier in all cases. Samples should be
taken which represent the different kinds
and grades presented for weighing. If more
convenient to use hammer or other in
Strument to break off a sufficient portion of
sugar to serve as samples for inspection and
poariscOpic test, that may be DONE"

EDITOR OF THE TIMES:
Your editorial in last weeks TIMES will
bring JOY and strength TO every Christian and
moral person in Shiawassee county. 1t has
the ring of true patriot. 1t shows you
have the courage of your convictions when
you dare so perfectly and publicly express
them, and in that article you have said no
more of Owosso saloons than is true of every
saloon in the land.
The press of Owosso has too long been
subservient to the saloon. Till now the sa-
loon arrogates to itself the right to dictate
who shall run our city and enforce its laws.
The elegant ''grand opening" invitations
were not only sent or given to saloon follow
ers, but to others intended as an insult. The
saloon is never law abiding; never intends
to be, aye, in the very nature of things never
be; and ere long virtuOus, patriotic and
long suffering people will rise and blot it
out.
Thanking you for that article, remain
yours for the battle that is not to the strong
alone, but to the vigilant, the active, the
brave.

Burton Farmers Club.

The second meeting of the Burton Farm
ers Club for 1892 was held February 11th
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. K. b.
Simpson, Pioneer Farm.
On the question of the advantages of
centralizing farmers homes, Mr.. Moxey
saw no real advantage. The system would
take the laborer too far from his work to
give the farm proper attention. Outside of
large towns and cities people should not live
too near together. They were apt to ''gad
about" and gossip, and become unduly
familiar, thereby causing trouble, repeating
the old saying Familiarity breeds con-
tempt" To be good friends, people should
live further apart. 4. b. Simpson said
farmers should be upon the farm to look
after and take care Of things. X. G. Shep-
ard thought that the time spent in going TO
and from the work would be great objec-
tion to the plan. He read selection en-

a Vehicle Opening by the mitchell

Vehicle Opening by the Mitchell,
Lewis n Staver Co,
The Mitchell, Lewis g. Staver company,
dealers in vehicles of every description, OF
Portland, Oregon, who have a branch con-
cern in Olympia, showed commendable en-
terprise in Portland few days ago by Civ
ing grand vehicle opening. 1t is custom
airy in many lines of business to have regu-
lar openings at certain periods of the year
at which display is made of seasonsble
goods of the latest styles. While the Gus
tom has prevailed in Eastern cities to have
openings every spring among the large
dealers in vehicles, nothing of the kind has
ever been attempted on the Pacific coast
until this enterprising firm inaugurated
their opening at Portland. This firm es-
tablshed their branch Office in Olympia
some time ago and are working up good
business. The Oregonian gives the follow
ing graphic description of their opening in
Portland:
The reception lasted from 1 to 5 p. M,
and during that time several thousand
people, including a large number of ladies,
visited the establishment. Everyone was
highly pleased with the exhibit, and not a
few were very much surprised to find such
an elaborate and complete display of Vehi-
cles of every description. The company
handles the products of many famous
Eastern factories, and among the goods
displayed were the following: An elegant
French Victoria, a handsome octagon
brougham, several four and six passenger
Rockaways, all from the factory of the
New Haven Carriage company, of New
Haven, Conn. There were also coupes,
landaus, etc., from the factory of Crutten-
den & Co.. of New Haven, Conn. and a
beautiful combination Victoria phaeton,
the product of the H. H. Babcock COM
panV, of WOtertOWn. ~ Y.
The display contained besides the sew
eral vehicles just enumerated an almost
endless number of other vehicles, likewise
the products of the several factories named.
There were full platform, extension and
canOpy-tOp phaetons, Kensington and
Prospect Park wagons, ladies' scroll-loop
phaetons, three-quarter, open and top road
wagons, Windsor and speeding wagons;
also large number Of W. S. Frazier &
Co.'s track sulkeys, speeding and road
carts. Harness was also displayed in pro-
fusion, every size and style being shown of
the finest line of handmade goods ever
seen in Portland. 1t included single and
double road and track harness, besides
various other kinds.
While stroling through the repository
admiring the magnificent assortment Of
elegant vehicles, the visitors we're enter
tanned in the most delightful manner by
the Rebagliati Spanish Students. They
had been specially engaged to furnish the
music for the occasion, and the programme
included selections from various operas
and other popular airs. all of which were
rendered in the most charming and highly
satisfactory manner. That the visitors to
the opening were pleased i'll the extreme
with the display and entertainment offered
them was manifest from the many ex-
pressiOns of approval and complimentary
remarks that were heard on every side.
