known opera house manager and one of
the Iebst successful theatrical men of
the United States, has rented the Owos-

Civic League.

The women of Michigan are earnest
ly endeavoring to improve the looks of
the cities and villages of the state, have
them cleaned up, old rookeries torn
down, old parts of fences removed, rub.
bish piles disposed of and everything
done that will make every portion of
every town and city clean and neat
and good to look upon. The first step
in that direction in Owosso was taken
last Friday night when meeting was
held at the Congregational church
under the auspices of the women's or
ganizations of the city, which was ad-
dressed by Mrs. Florence B. Mills, OF
Kalamazoo, who is one Of the progress
sive leaders in much good work being
done by the women of the state. A
fair sized audience heard her lecture
and became much interested in the
work. James Osburn presided and at
the close of the lecture civic league
was formed with Geo. B. McCaughna
as president; J. G. Shattuck, vice-presi-
dent; Mrs. S. E. Parkill. secretary; FL.
X. White, treasurer; and directors, Mrs.
j. W. Simmons, Mrs. 7. M. Euler,
Mrs. f. J. Mcdaniel, Mrs. Albert Todd
Mrs. M. ii. Reynolds, q. R. Lyon
James Osburn, DR.. B. S. Sutherland
A plan of work has not been decided
upon, but the league will adopt con
stitution and bylaws as soon as posi-
bic and push the work, which will un
doubtedly interest the people of OwossC
greatly after the plan is understood.

Mr.. FoRpNEY's POSITION ON
ship SUBSIDY BILL.


The Eighth District Congressman
Gives His Reasons for Making His
Vigorous Fight on the Measure in
the House.
Ffcm the Saginaw Courier Herald.
Rep. J. w. Fordney, when asked by
The Courier Herald to give his reasons
for opposing the ''ship subsidy bill in
the recent congress, and which was
crippled largely through his efforts, re-
Piled:
"Bopposed the bill before the house
Of representatives the week preceding
the close of the session, and, while the
>yDill passed the house. it passed in such
form and so changed from the origi-
nal draft as introduced, that even the
friends of the measure did not want a
law of that kind but supported it with
hope that when the measure came be-
fore the senate. the main features of
, the bill that had been stricken out in
] the house, might be reinstated.
Yes, while have always felt that
Ngovernment aid under some equitable
{ plan might aid our merchant marine,
knowing that many citizens of this
country feel that we never can have
any material increase in our foreign
shipping, without government aid, yet
I also am aware that there are many of
our people who do not believe in such a
plan It is true that all of the principal
nations of the world, excepting the
United States, give government aid to
their shipping in one way or another,
and until our government devises some
plan by which our merchant marine
can be put upon an equitable basis with
other ships of the world, it seems to me
that there is but little hope of much in
crease in our shipping on salt water

Special Delivery.

The law recently passed permitting
the transmission of letters and packages
for special delivery where ten cents
postage is attached in addition to the
ordinary postage, goes into effect July
1st. The intent Of the law is to do
away with the use only of special de.
livery stamps, which it is often incon-
venient to purchase. Besides using tie
stamps it will be necessary to write the
words special delivery" on the envel-
ope. Postoffice department officials be-
lieye considerable increase of business
will result from this change.

Tn Republican City Ticket.

| That the primary method of NOM
ination of city officers. is success is
generally admitted by the republicans
OF Owosso since the primaries on We'd
nesday evening, when over nine hun
dred republicans expressed themselves
as to their choice for city and ward off,
GERS. Each republican has had the op-
portunity to vote for the man of his
choice without delegating that duty to
some delegate to a city convention. The
large vote polled shows that the repub-
licans were interested in selecting men
for the various Offices whom they be-
lieved would administer the affairs Of
the city in a business.like, economical
manner The ticket selected seems to
give almost universal satisfaction, the
feeling being that all have had the
chance to vote for whom they. wish and
that now the majority vote should pre-
vail and the, successful candidates be
given cordial support. The several
nominees are we'll known to the people
of the city. most of them having served
at some time in official positions and all
of them seem to be perfectly willing TO
stand on the record made.
The vote by wards for the various Of
fees and the plurality sof the several
candidates is shown herewith:

feat for the Highs by a score of 10 to
5. The winners put up a fairly good
game of ball, but the High School boys
made a poor showing. The game was
played at the base ball park, and was
witnessed by a fair sized crowd from
both schools. 1t is probable that both
teams will show much better form af-
ter little more practice.
The personnel of both teams follows:
