Roundup Institute.

Through the efforts of Mr.. a. B.
Cook the State Roundup of Farmers
Institutes is to be held in this city the
latter part of February Ur the first of
March. Mr.. Cook presented the matter
to the State Board of Agriculture at its
meeting on Wednesday and won by a
unanimous vote, despite the fact
that other cities we've represented by
strong delegations which made deter
mined effort to capture the meeting.
An invitation to bring the institute
here was quite generally signed by the
business men of the city some days ago.
Owosso and Shiawassee county citizens
are to be congratulated on the result.
The meeting will bring the best insti-
tute workers of this and other states to
'Owosso and the program will be one of
general interest. Delegates will come
from large share of the counties in the
state and large attendance is assured.
Especial attention will be given the
question of growing sugar beets. Prac-
tical men who have had wide experience
along this line will be present to discuss
the question from every possible point
of view.
Owosso citizens should perfect an or
ganization' at once to assist in making
the institute a great success.

The Relation Of the Parent to tn
Teacher.

Paper read by Miss Grace Wilcox ut the Oak
Grove Farmers Club.
am glad to have the opportunity to-
day to talk to you on the subject of
'"The Relation of the Parent to the
Teacher"
Allow me to make three statements
here that whatever 1 say / allude in no
way to your school districts That 1
have no selfish motive in view, as 1
have no idea of trying to secure your
schools Also, please do not consider me
growler, for I make these remarks in
the interest of the girls and boys
whose best training requires the united
efforts of both teacher and parents.
Prominent educators find that one of
the greatest hindrances to the advance
ment of the rural school is the lack
of cooperation of the parent with the
teacher. Teachers find it more agreea.
bic teaching in the city schools than in
the district schools, because they do not
have so many opponents to contend
with in order to carry out their ideas of
government and instruction. Teachers
have prepared themselves for this spec
ial work, and it should be self-evident
fact that they are more capable of man
aging a school than one who has never
made study of it. Why then should a
teacher as she enters school be subject
to all the severe criticism that gen
orally falls to her lot?
Of course this never happens in your
district, but you have heard about it in
others, how the teacher was made the
center of gossip of the whole neighbor-
hood. She is thoroughly discussed
morning, noon, and night. How many
of you have ever heard anything like
this as the children come home from
school9 Well, Johnnie, how many did
the teacher lick today, how many had to
stay after school tonightg And Johnnie,
who in all probability has been playing
the part of ''Peck's Bad Boy, in school
today still longs for little more ex-
citement. So calling all his powers of
exaggeration to his command aud put
ting a much injured look on tis fieet-
led little face goes on and relates the

formerly attorney general of the United

he had known The Tribune he never
knew it to be Letter newspaper or to

the men who make The Tribune is to
improve it with every issue. While
sturdy advocate of Republican princi-
Piles, it is not hidebound, or narrow,
but endeavors to be absolutely fair and
fearless in its treatment of men and
affairs. While gathering with pains
taking care and accuracy the news Of

the nasty and cheap sensations which
come to the surface regularly in the
daily panorama of human life. But The
Tribune is not dull. It is instructive,
stimulating and entertaining exactly

Secures Contract to Garry M all.

The Second Assistant Postmaster
General recently advertised for bids for
carrying the mails between the post
Office and the several depots for four
years, beginning with July 1st next.
In response to the advertisement three
bids were sent from this city, although
"a number of others figured on bidding
but gave it mp as the requirements
were thought to be too severe. The
bids were opened on the 2d inst. and
the result announced in Washington ON
Monday. The contract was awarded to
L. G. Barnes at the sum of 81. 14O per
year. The sum of $494 has been paid
for this service heretofore during the
time Mr.. Barnes has had the contract.
Under the new contract he will be re-
quired to place in the service two gov
ernment screen wagons and to provide
two men whenever their services are
necessary to carry the mails to and
from the depots promptly.
The fact that Mr.. Barnes has given
good service despite the awful roads
over which he has had to travel-as-
sures the public that with increased pay,
which will allow him to provide better
outfits he will do still better when the
new service begins. His record also un-
doubtedly helped him with the depart
ment Officials in securing the award.

BREAKING GROUND.
kilby Mfg. Co.'S Engineer on the
Ground and the Breaking of the
Ground Actually Began
Yesterday.

The ground for the thousand ton
sugar factory is actually being broken.
Work was begun yesterday under the
direction of Mr.. F. Winters, the Kilby
Company's engineer From now on
the work will be pushed.
This announcement is one which can
not fail to come to every citizen of
Owosso and Shiawassee county with a
large degree of satisfaction and pleas
ure. 1t means that after along and hard
campaign of more than year the efforts
of the men who have stood through thick
and thin for the securing of such fac
tory for the county have at last come to
fruition. 1t means that the hundreds of
men, citizens of Owosso, and enterpris.
ing farmers about the county, who
realized the appreciation to the value
OF their property the factory would
bring have the satisfaction of knowing
that the way in which they stood by
the men who were foremost in the mat
ter has been the means of saving the
day for the county and everyone in it.
The times are looking brighter for
Shiawassee then ever before.
There is still no small degree of work
to be done. The moral responsibility
of the men who have been foremost in
getting the factory for the county is not
ended. There is still a heavy acreage
required. The assistance of farmers,
who after all are the ones to be most
benefited, is still needed. They can
scarcely imagine the embarrassment
which their slowness in signing con
tracts for the raising Of the beets is
making the men who have already done
the most to bring them the factory. II
they did the acreage would be signed in
short order, But with work actually
begun on the factory there should be
such wave of enthusiasm that not
even the embarrassment of the OwossC
business men should need to be taker
into account
The farmers of Shiawassee county ant
the entire county outside of the farms
are entering on new era with the ad
vent of the factory. 1t should be 1
glad and merry holiday time for all
Visions of Shiawassee as one of tn
recognized banner counties of the stat
with greater prosperity than eve
scattered among its citizens is something
to be more than ordinarily happy over
Let each and every individual stan
ready to assist in every way in doin
whatever remains to be done to CON
plete the work.

FoRDNEYs BOUQUET.
congressman's Sugar Beet Friends
Made Unique Present

It's top looming high in the chamber
of the house yesterday, a unique bouquet
bespoke the affection in which Repre-
sentative Fordney is held by his friends.
1t was a beet sugar bouquet. In large
waste basket had been inserted number
of immense sugar beets, one for each
county in his district, which has broken
away from all precedents by electing
him for third term in the house. There
were several smaller beets, all with
their tops on. Each beet was labeled with
figures stating the majoritiesin different
counties. Towering over all was the
biggest of all the beets, bearing a card
with the figure 5000, that having been
Mr.. Fordney's majority.
Becomingly planted with the beets
were fragrant roses, which completed
the tout ensemble of the floral gift

description of many famous cathedrals,
streets and castles constructed before
the Elizabethan age
Westminster Abbey was founded by
Edward, the Confessor, and rebuilt in
the thirteenth century by Henry III
and Edward /. 1t has been remodeled
many times since.
London bridge was the first built
over the Thames at London. The first
structure was destroyed by a storm in
1901 and rebuilt in the twelfth century.
Later on the heads of those who were
executed for treason were stuck on the
top of the bridge where the throngs
which passed could easily view them
and then were thrown into the river.
The present stone bridge was first used
in 1881.
Miss Colt told of several towers and
dungeons which were the scenes of Sc
many tragedies during the history max
ing days of England.
After an enthusiastic discussion cur
rent topics were given with much inter
est and the club adjourned to Dec. 1;
