The Union soldier into whose hands this copy fell, after the battle added in little note at the bottom of the paper: We caught the rabbit The new editor announced there would be no more issues on wall paper. This little souvenir of the fall Iof Vicksburg is the property of Deacon J. Demers of Newington, father-in n-law Iof MT Clark.

Union Mlasian study Glass.

For the third season the women of
Owosso are uniting in six afternoons of
study of missions. The text book fol
lowed is prepared by the Central Com
mittee, and is the one used by mission
airy societies of all denominations every
where.
The subject is China. The name of
the text book, REX Christus." 1t is
written by DIR. Arthur H. Smith, who
is considered the foremost writer on
China. His assistant is Miss Frances j.
Dyer, of Boston, also a we'll known
writer
In view of the fact that China is in
the foreground of the political world Of
today. and the interests of the kingdom
of God in this vast empire are so momen-
tous, we urge the women of Owosso to
set apart these six afternoons for inform
ing themselves concerning these great
problems. The books can be obtained
Of the publishers Mcmillan g. Co. N.
Y, or of any denominational publishing
house. The price is thirty cents, five
cents additional for postage.
Dnring the first year of this course
40, 900 copies of the text book were sold,
a. still larger number the second year,
and it is expected the third year will ex-
ceed the others in view of the fact that
many Woman's clubs, Epworth leagues
and Christian Endeavor societies are
using it.
The first meeting will be held in
the parlors of the First M. e. church
this afternoon at s:3O o'clock. Mrs. A
Z. Ferry, leader.

More Weighing Stations.

The officers of the Owosso Sugar Co.
in charge of the Lansing factory are ex-
tending their policy of establishing
weighing stations at some of the towns
in this vicinity which supply beets for
sugar making.
During the season just closed a
station was conducted at Mason. While
the contracts for the coming season
were being obtained, it was decided to
establish other stations at Portland and
Bellevue Now it is also proposed to
establish one at Fowlerville, the farmers
being offered this advantage if they will
sign contract for 500 acres. The pro-
position isreceiving favorable attention.
The Mason station last season brought
the expected results, but it was ex-
pensive, and hereafter in any of the
weighing stations only the weighing
will be done. AT Mason the tare per
cent was also obtained, but the future
plan is simply to weigh the beets at the
receiving station and select samples
from each load to be tested at the fac
tory.
There are numerous advantages to
the farmer to be gained from the estab-
lishment of such st ations, and it is pre-
sumed they will result in larger acreages
being secured. Lansing Republican.

Made Much Money.

j. T. Trowblidge, manager Of the
Sanilac Sugar Company at Croswell,
was in the city Friday and visited the
Owosso Sugar Cos plant. He pronounc-
ed it the finest sugar house in the state
as he had seen all of them. Speaking
about results obtained by farmers in the
vicinity of the Sanilac sugar factory,
Mr. Trowbridge says:
For results on a large acreage of
beets we think we have man who has
made record This is j. G. Merriman.
of Deckerville, Mich AIR. Merriman
grew 107 6 acres of beets for us during
1903 and the total value of his crop
when received at the factory was $7172.
Ga. He paid out for the hand work on
the beets and the seed $2475.49 and the
company paid him $4696.15, He thus
received for the rent of his land and his
own work $43 per acre.
Robert kirkpatrick, of McGregor,
Mich, on smaller acreage received
even better results. He had 20l acres
and the value of his crop amounted to
S14G0 96. He paid out for hand work
and seed $471.50 and received net from
the company $3.50 t6, or $40 per acre fol
the use of his land and his own work
The Owosso Sugar Company has a
great many contractors who have re
ceiYed larger amount of money per
acre for their crop, but in most cases
these results have been obtained on the
smaller contracts.
