Primary Petitions.

Under the direction of the republican
county committee petitions asking for
the submission to the republican voters
at the June primary election of the
question of adopting the law as it ap-
plies to the nomination of county Off
GERS, representative in the legislature,
state senator and representative in con-
gress were in the hands of party work
ers at each polling place in the county
on Monday last and the republicans
were asked to sign them as they enrolled.
The number who signed will be nearly
5000 on each of the four petitions.
which is far in excess of the number re-
quired by law. Much interest was
manifested in this question and it was
more generally discussed on Monday
than ever before and while all who
signed the petitions will not vote to
adopt the primary plan it is safe to pre-.
dict that each of the propositions peti.
toned for will receive large majority
in this county.
Nomination papers for Gov. Fred M.
Warner and for Patrick H. Kelly for
lieutenant governor were also general.
ly signed in each of the precincts.

American Society Of Equity.

The American Society of Equity,
farmers organization with headquarters
at Indianapolis, Ind, will hold state
meeting in Owosso, April 27 and 90 and
Ii is expected that between two hun.
dred and fifty and three hundred people
will attend. The object of the meeting
is to form Michigan Union or branch.
The society is only three years old and
has members in 2,724 counties of the
United States out of 2SC0 suitable for
agricultural purposes. 1t is now pro-
posed to make an effort to largely in
crease the membership and send out
great amount of literature.
The circular says, THE farmers
grant to merchants and others the right
to manage their own business and make
their own prices, at the same time they
are determined to attend to their own
business so their prices will be as high
in proportion as on any goods they buy
from Others" They wish to check the
decline in prices of grain and keep them
up to prices set at their national con-
vention: wheat, No. red 81; corn, No.
z. Soc; oats, No. 3Sc; barley, good malt
ing, 45c; hogs, per cwt., So to $3.50;
cattle, per cwt S. to So; potatoes, per
bushel, 65c. 1t is claimed that if sup
plies are held back the prices can be
maintained. After May it is recon-
mended thatno baled hay farm produce
or grain be sold for less than the agreed
prices.
The matter of an agreement of farmers
on prices has long been agitated but it
seemed like such an impossible under
taking that any active steps were never
taken until this society was organized.

EIks' Public installation.

Owosso Lodge B. p. o. Elks opened
its elegant quarters to its friends Tues
day evening that they might witness
the installation of the officers and enjoy
a pleasant evening. At $50 Past Ex-
alted Ruler Carl Pickert, of Corunna,
thanked the many friends for attending
and referred 10 the lodges desire to make
its home place for the people OF the
city to congregate frequently for social
purposes. AS Acting Grand Exalted
Ruler he then called upon. A. j. Van
Epps to present the newly elected Off
GERS at the altar to take the obligation
and conduct them to their chairs, after
which instruction was given each as to
his duties. Hon. Webster Davis, of
Corunna, was called upon and gave the
lodge and friends beautiful, witty and
instructive talk on Elkdom and brother
ly love. The lodge room was then
cleared and for three hours dancing was
much enjoyed by large number of
those present. The music, by Tubb's
orchestra, was unusually fine. Cards
and billiards were played by many who
did not dance.

Bonding Proposition Defeated.

AS was generally expected the propo-
sition to bond the county for 800, 600
to meet the court house and contingent
fund Indebtedness of the county was
defeated on Monday. No other result
had been looked for at any time within
the past six weeks. At the same time
nearly every voter admits that the in
debtedness will have to be paid and that
some provision must be made soon look
ing to that end. Just what the solution
will finally be no one can tell at this
time, many advocate voting again at
the June primary election, others want
to refer the matter to the legislature and
have an act passed enabling the super
visors to borrow the money, while others
and quite number of them-take the
radical position that they will oppose
the proposition in all forms so long as
one of the old supervisors remains on the
board. We believe it is for the best in
terest of all to dispose of the question
as soon as possible The voters have
had an opportunity of passing upon the
question of who shall represent them on
the board this year and with fifteen new
supervisors there is no reason for any
one feeling that the right thing will not
be done. If there is no legal obstacle
submit the question to another vote at
the primary election June 12.

The Woman's Club.

The regular meeting of the Woman g
Club was held Saturday at the home of
Mrs H. d. Lyon. Mrs. J. o. Parker
read an exceedingly interesting histori-
cal paper on ''The Evolution of the New
Northwest" giving facts as to the Lou
isiana purchase, the expedition of Lewis
and Clark and the extent of the terri
tory and its present greatness in forests,
mines, grain and fruits, its beautiful
scenery, etc
Mrs. Geo. E. Pardee reviewed the
subject of Irrigation" showing the un-
told advantages of 1t in all ages of the
worlds history, how deserts had been
made fertile valleys and millions of
acres OF land were covered with homes
where there would have been nothing
but waste without the following out of
irrigating. And in this work as in
everything tie United States was in the
lead.
The club will be the guests Of Mrs. c.
Bilhimer, of Corunna, today.

FOR BETTER coMMERcIALIsm
Proper Legislation, Protecting tho
People and the Profits Of our
Home Merchants.

The people, the consuming public,
are becoming tired of adulterations in
food products, and misrepresentation of
values in all kinds of goods, and this
feeling of dissatisfaction has reached
our National lawmakers, through their
constituents and has resulted in the
agitation of new and far reaching
kind of Federal legislation, protecting
the honest American manufacturer, the
honest dealer and the victimized con-
sumer.
The National pure food law, which
passed the senate at this session of con-
gress, and which will undoubtedly pass
the House, is perhaps. of first import
ance, as adulterations and low values
in food products work ill against the
health as well as the pocketbook of the
public. Next to this, and of even high
er financial Importance is the misrepre-
sentation in goods made from the prec-
ious metals.
For years John G. Dueber, President
of The Dueber Hampden Watch Co., of
Canton, Ohio, has been fighting for true
and honest standards of value in these
goods, and the initial bill of this char
actef to be passed by congress was the
Vreeland, anti United States Assay
measure, which became a law last year,
and which originated in Mr.. Duebers
fight for better commercialism and high
er standards of value in goods made
from the precious metals.
Congressman Vreeland, backed by
Mr.. Dueber, and later by the best ele-
ment among the manufacturers of
smaller articles of Jewelry, has placed
before congress this session Nation
al stamping Act" which will regulate
the making Of articles from gold and
silver This measure has received O
favorable report from the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee of the
House, and will, it is thought, become
law.
This is legislation along the right line,
and while it protects the people at large
it protects our home merchants against
the illegitimate competition of the mail
order fakir, who has no conscientious
scruples about Misrepresentation if he
can gain profit,

great exposed root, covering the ground for
distance of twenty feet or more The Indians
IN that neighborhood use these long leaves for
thatching, covering the roofs of their huts or
wigwams with it..
The flowers of the ivory do not contain
stamens and pistils, as such plants usually do,
but like the species of willow, one bears sta
mlnal flowers and another pistilate. Such
plants are called dioecions.
Although they differ in Towering the general
appearance of the plant is the same in form
and in arrangement-eac ivory plant bearing
several heads of flowers A writer, who has
seen them growing, says:
The fragrance of the flowers of the ivory
is most powerful, and more delicious than any
other plant, and so wide-spreading as to at
tract myriads of annoying insects for yards
around it," and should the flowers be trans
ported for miles from the place where they
grow, he goes on to say, "these insects would
follow in their train, and hover about them as
long as they kept in bloom"
The pistillate flowers produce large, round
fruit. measuring from eight to twelve inches
in diameter, and when ripe, weighing some
twenty-five pounds or more,
This fruit is covered by hard, woody coat,
embossed everywhere with angular tubercles,
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-04
t h e

and composed of six or eight portions, each
containing from six to nine seeds
These seeds, when ripe, are purely white,
and entirely free from stain or blemish, show
ing a perfect texture, uniform in every way,
and far surprising the choicest ivory of the
animal kingdom, and even the substance
throughout is so hard, that the least indenta-
ton made by the instruments used upon it Is
plainly discernible on its surface, looking much
more as if it were an animal product than a
vegetable one.
The only real difference to person who was
familiar with them both would be that this
vegetable ivory has fatty appearance and a
brighter look, and could be told especially by
its minute cellular structure.
Now, this is the strangest thing about it
all-that this material, SO hard and SO purely
white, is really the store of food laid up by
this curious plant for the nourishment of the
young plant, or embryo, contained in the seed
just such a provision as many of the in
sects and animals make for their young, only
in different way.
Like the white of an egg, it is really the al
bumen of the seed, and this ivory, hard, as
you know it, in its early stages is a clear,
insipid fluid, used greatly by travellers to allay
thirst.

1t then becomes sweet and very much like
milk, and is greedily devoured by various ami
mails.
After awhile it becomes very hard. This is
during the process of termination, strange to
say.
The young plant, for some time, is depend
ent upon it for food, and after the plant has
appeared, and the seed is taken out of the
ground, it will be found to be full of sub
stance, half milk and half pulp, on which the
plant lives until it is old enough to get its food
on its own account.
The seed of the ivory is so small, notwith-
standing the size of the fruit-the largest new
er measuring more than two inches across its
greatest diameter-that it can only be en-
ployed in the manufacture of very small arti-
cles. The skillful workman can, however.
sometimes join together these small pieces, in
order to make longer article, or, in the max
ing of box, use one seed for the lid and an
other for the box itself.
You would be surprised if you only knew
how many of these seed are imported, year af-
ter year, to make these articles of ivory you
SO often see. Sometimes not less than one
hundred and fifty tons are sent in one year,
thousand of them being sold for less than
a dollar!

This curious production grows mostly in
