taken many remedies but found no
relief from lame back. The secre-
tions from her kidneys were also ir-
regular and contained a dark sedi-
ment. 1t caused her great pain to
striegthen after STOPPING, and she
was also greatly troubled with dir
zy spells. Her health was in a much
run down condition, and she felt
miserable until she began taking

No Flood Danger This Spring

Last Friday afternoons wind storm
did considerable damage in Owosso and
vicinity, though no one was reported
injured. The large plate glass window
in Hollis plumbing store was broken
into small pieces and various smaller
windows were broken and some trees
were broken down. The day was warm
and the snow was melted at a rapid
rate, but as no rain came, the river did
not reach dangerous height, especial
ly as the city authorities had had the
river cleared of ice by dynamiting. The
dynamiting was kept up through Sun
day and channel cleared entirely
through the city. With Mondays thaw
the most of the remaining snow
was melted and the river, having fallen
nearly two feet Sunday night, did not
reach even the high point of Sunday.
We are fortunate to have escaped anoth-
or flood similar to the one of 1904 and
the city authorities are to be congratu-
lated on the work they ordered done to
prevent it.
The river is again very high this
morning and considerable ice is run
ming but 81 far there has been no stop
page in the channel and the ice goes
below the city.

Position Stated.

The following is clipped from the
Saginaw News:
Congressman Joseph w. Fordney
gave the News brief interview Tues
day morning in reference to the polit-
ical situation, in which he stated that
his position was the same as previous
ly announced, but whether the change
in the sentiment had been pronounc-
ed or not he could not say.
His attention was called to the
statement of several prominent Re-
publicans who said either directly or
by implication that the congressman
did. not dictate their views nor define
their position and he said: There
has never been the slightest intention
on my part to dictate to anyone what
views they shall hold nor what posi-
tion they shall take regarding any
candidate or policy They are all
alike free to choose for themselves as
am for myself. They are entitled
to their views and if they do not agree
with me l have never thought to
force compliance. l have never sought
to express the views or define the po-
sition of any one but myself and with
reference to presidential candidates
hold the same views to which / have
heretofore given publicity. l do not
wish to sail under false colors and
have made it known for some time
that I am for Mr.. Cannon, though
have high regard for the other can.

candidates. AS matters stand at pres
ent it is anybody's nomination ant

likely to be chosen to represent Mich
igan. My views in the matter are tha
all delegates should go to the conven
tion uninstructed or unpledge(
though they may carry with them {
strong recommendation The NTaf
sentiment appears larger and strong
er because there are more workers
out boosting for it but that is M
definite indication of the strengtl
some other candidates may develop,
in the convention. Our Owosso con
vention held last October was Sc
aside because the call for the nationa
convention reduced the representa-
tion from our insular possessions anC
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1908-03-13

and as these had already selected
their delegates it was Necessary for
another convention to be called and
as ours was held prior to the reap
portionment of delegates We were in
cluded in the localities where another
convention should be held. But as
the delegates elected at that conven-
tion were not pledged I do not believe
it will affect the political color of the
delegation, l mean the preferential
color of the delegates. There was a
strong recommendation from that
convention for Cannon but the dele
gates were unpledged, as l think they
ought to be. There have been no
material changes in sentiment that
has come to my observation.

To Beet Growers of Macon,b County

The following from the New Balti-
more Era should be read with care by
Shiawassee County beet growers:
We were somewhat surprised few
days ago to find representative of a
beet sugar company located at Owos-
so soliciting acreage for beets in this
locality. Being interested in our
home company, we began making in
quiries as to their contracts and in
ducements offered to farmers. One
to weigh and tare beets at each sta
ton, paying $500 per ton for same.
The farmer could see his beets dealt
with and know how much each load
brought. Also, if there were no cars
for loading, the beets would be taken
care of by the company, so that the
farmers could haul as fast as they
chose and as long as the roads are
good and unload their crop. This
never was done by our home compa-
ny.
Very little, if any, labor is furnish
ed by our home company in earring
for the beets around us, but the
Owosso company agrees to furnish la
Dor for given price per acre.
We are informed that all these in
ducements are offered by our home
company where they compete with
other companies and it seems strange
to us that our home company would
offer better inducements to farmers
| located so far from home while busi-
ness near home which would seem
! more desirable is neglected.
When the Marine City sugar house
was operating, there was grown in St
Clair and Macomb counties from t.
600 to 5000 acres Of beets each year
but for some unknown reason, we
doubt If now 1900 acres year are
raised in the same territory for oul
home company.
If we refer to the census bulletin
published by the government, we find
that Macomb county is certainly as
good as any of the other counties sc
far as good sugar beet land is con.
cerned and value of farms, etc.
| Macomb county has 1852 farms
with total acreage of 2S6,366, or &
value of improved land $11,626,700
Saginaw county has 5,S1S farm!
! with a total acreage of $4,000, or {
