That Ow0ss0 People Will DO Wclit0 Care

The great freethinker Hume was never
% badly pushed for an answer as when
peremptorily asked by lady at Bath to
declare upon HIS honor as gentleman
whether he would chose his confidential
domestics from such as held his own prin-
ciples or from those who conscientiously
believed in the eternal revelation He
frankly decided in favor of the latter.
Another question that concerns Owosso
people is just as easily answered. If COM
mon sense is any guide, which II dozen
articles can be depended upon, onein use
among our people, weighed in the balance
and not found wanting or one untried In
the locality, without any local backing?

UNCLE SANS Drvvx.
Gets $500 for Stamps ON MORT
gage Recorded Here.


Five hundred dollars lis considered
neat rainy-d day sum by most people.
but when that amount in revenue
stamps is placed on one single mort
gage it looks out OF proportion.
Yet just such a sum in stamps was
placed on a trust deed filed with Re-
corder Cohn yesterday for recording. 1t
was drawn by the Yuba Electric Power
Company in favor of the Mercantile
Trust Company of San Francisco, and
was for $1,O00,O00.
This means that the Mercantile Trust
Company of San Francisco has taken
81 600, 600 worth of bonds issued by the
Yuba Electric Power Company. The
bonds are to run for thirty years, and
are secured by deed Of trust to the
power company's plant. The purpose
Of the transaction is to raise funds for
the proposed extension Of the Yuba
Company's line to Sacramento.
Ten stamps were spread across the
bottom of the document, each being of
the 500 denomination. The war rev.
enue tax law provides that mortgage
for 1900 requires 25-cent stamp,
and that % cents shall be added for
each additional $500. At this rate a
trust deed for 81 100000 requires $500
in stamps. When the fact that $500
will buy three doses Of fodder for a
13-ineh gun is considered, the matter
seems all right.
