Under scare headline entitled 1.-The
People Disappointed, the Owosso Argus
of June 18th gives quarter column
more of its valuable space to the ex-
ploitation of piece of fiction implicitly
criticizing our representative for not
securing state appropriation to drain
the Bancroft Peat Company's land.
1.-THE people in and around Bancroft
knew nothing of any such proposition
until the article appeared in the Argus.
If the Argus was shooting at Mr.. Ward,
they certainly went wide of the mark as
he apparently is as ignorant of the mat
ter as are the people of this vicinity.
When asked to state the facts about
such request Mr.. Ward replied II
know absolutely nothing about it. l
never heard of such a proposition and
do not believe such thing was ever
considered. It's just another batch of
lies from the same old source. Uriah
Heep evidently is busy again" w. E.
Watson, who has been closely connect
ed with the peat company since its in
ception, as stakeholder and officer, says,
81 never heard of such a thing, and
surely ought to know if such a move
were on foot. Some one is mistaken or
else doing some tall lying"
We have enough confidence in the
peoples sense of right and justice to be-
lieve that this kind of guerrilla warfare
conducted by the persons who are car.
rying it on will never carry any weight
with men of sense and brains. Every
one admires an honest, courageous
fighter; but men of principal despise
the sandbagger and gum shoe artist.
Get out in the open. And we will take
this occasion to give some one tip that
if this is the way IAN Owosso man ex-
poets to make good with the people he
had better take another tack. Honesty
is the best policy and should be the first
requisite of any one who aspires to
legislative honors. We are of the
opinion that Owosso republicans will in
the future as in the past insist upon it.

Step Towards Home Grown Seed.

E. H. Hume, farmer living west of
the city on Saginaw street, is making
a comparative test under the advise
ment of the M. A. G. experiment sta
ton of the merits of home grown and
foreign sugar beet seed. Five acres
have been planted with each seed, and
in the rudimentary growth the home
grown beets seem to be in the best con-
dition.
Mr.. Hume is also conducting test of
10 different varieties of seed for the u.

About Owosso Industries.

Furniture men throughout the coun.
try say of the Woodland Furniture
company's factory in this city that II
is the most modern, commodious, airy
and generally convenient furniture
factory In the union. 1t is not the
largest, as but 225 men are employed
there, but in its arrangement 1t ia
idealfor the workmen. It is as bright
and CHEEKY as the modern schoolroom,
and is in no sense of the word sweat
shop
Perhaps 1t is because this plant is
managed by young men! that such ex.
cellent conditions prevail. This fac
tory as we'll as the Owosso Casket COM
pany is owned and controlled by the
family Of the late Lyman Woodland.
Fred B. Woodland is president, Frank
J. Woodland vice president, and their
brother-in-law, 10. Osburn, secretary
and treasurer. They are all under 35
years of age.
The Woodland boys are as we'll sea.

mess as Is the lumber In their yards
Their father was stickler for detail
and brought up the boys to do what
they are now doing so well-to take
his place.
O. w. Gale and Tod Kincaid, Of
Owosso; e. P. Waldron, of Saginaw,
and 81. O. Frieseke, of Los Angeles,
are now the only stockholders in the
Vigor-O Heath Food Co., makers Of q
breakfast food. They came into pos
session Of the big factory last week by
reason Of mortgage foreclosure.
When the company was promoted two
years ago these men loaned $4,000 to
the company to help put up factory,
and took mortgage on the whole
thing. Now the small stockholders
have nothing left but experience.
The factory will soon resu me business,
running a flour business In connection
with the breakfast food.

Twenty eight Years Continol
Business.

w. E. Watson can look back owe,
the history of our village and fully
appreciate the steps she has taken in
her march up the steep hills of time.
For 20 years he has continually dealt
out groceries and provisions to many of
his customers of today. That's a good
record.
On Saturday morning June ID, 1877,
Mr. Watson began selling groceries and
sundry other articles in the uncom-
pleted store which then stood on the
old entrance to the fair grounds. The
building was rooted and floored but not
boarded up when he began. The rail-
road has just been built and the depot
was nailed up with carpenters lien so
what freight was shipped here had to
be unloaded on the platform and left.
On this day without scales, scoop or
any of the necessary appurtenances of
the store of today, Mr. Watson's sales
amounted to S4S good business start
ed.
The next day was cold one and the
building not being completed and no
chimney for a stove, Mr.. Watson SILVER
ed as he told us of his attempts to keep
warm on that Sunday.
In looking over his day-book at that
time we saw many familiar names upon
it. The prices received for some things
interested US. Some are as follows
Coffee A sugar, 13c; B sugar II cts tea
60 cts; rice. 10c; raisins 15c. and 80 on

For the first time the people of this
city and vicinity will be given an
| opportunity to see a score of real
| Bedouins when the Pawnee Bill Histor-
ic Wild West and Great Far East comes
here on June Goth.
These tent jewellers of the Sahara des-
ert are the only ones in this country
and are not only interesting, but distin-
guished people; so strong in their love
for their sand stormed and torrid zones,
that until Pawnee Bill succeeded in in
fluencing those who are with him, the
Bedouin could not be influenced to
leave the desert to come to an unknown
land
They are among the strangest of the
many strange people, and in the assem-
blage Of the Congress Of Nations. an
elegant opportunity is given to study
their manner of living, their industries,
religion, habits and pastimes Unlike
the Arab, they are of powerful build
and possess the quickness of the tiger.
They are expert swordsmen and gun
twirlers, and splendid horsmen, while
their Arabian steeds are what could be
termed equine beauties without the
least fear of saying what is not true.
Natural born athletes and gymnasts,
they give performance that is marvel
Gus; their tumbling, both ground and
lofty is new, and their art gives an ele-
CANT opportunity to notice the vast diff
erence between the graduate from the
gymnasium and the athlete as nature
made him. Their performance is the
very embodiment of grace, agility and
muscle

The Battle Ground of Modern
Thought.

The Chicago Record Herald had con.
ceived the unique idea of assigning a
page of its Sunday edition to the public
for the free discussion of important
questions of the day. Under the head
1.-THE Battle Ground of Modern
Thought, an opportunity is offered to
the public for the sane discussion of all
problems engaging the attention of the
American people, Writers of ability
present their views on subjects not
generally treated in the daily press, and
Record Herald readers generally are in
vited to join the debate. The fairest,
most forceful and original contributions
are published. The following are few
of the subjects which have been dis
cussed since this department was first
established:
'Is Blacklisting Within the Law?"
TRUSTS and the Proper Way to Regu-
late Them"
"Great Peril That Besets Pagan
China"
Liquor Trade and its Evil Conse-
quences."
Are Free Books Wanted in Public
Schoolsf'
"Inhumanity to Animals.
New Struggles for the Negro"
The Record-Herald disclaims any re-
sponsibilities for the dogmas upheld,
the theories advanced or the panaceas
advocated. 1t reserves the right only
to preserve order, to keep out PERSONAL
ties and rancor and to see that good
temper and candor characterize the
discussions.

Lansing. Mich, June 20. The early
bidding by various tavorile sons for

ed TO divest himself Of, on or before

pearance OF Mcmillan against the field,
