rs Life Insurance a good Invest
cases 1t is. Everyone should be
his own judge. Mr.. Shoultz says II
we lived long enough we would pay
in as much as We get out. Mr..
Royce says IL We had a lease of life
we could save enough to leave our
families provided for, but as we
haven't, he thinks life insurance all
right. Mrs Place thinks an endow-
ment policy all right. Mr.. Greenwalt
says some will not save unless they
are under obligation, If they are
carrying insurance they save to pay
the assessments, where otherwise
they would spend all as they went
along.

In MemOriam,

George w. Harris, one of the early
pioneers of Shiawassee county, de-
parted this life Monday morning,
July 27, 1908. Mr.. Harris was born
at Rochester, N. ", February 22,
1918. He came to Michigan and set
tied at Corunna at very early date.
He engaged in the merchantile bust
ness for a number of years, then he
erected a furnace and manufactured
plows and other farm implements.
After following this for some time,
he bought farm north of the Shi-
awassee river and moved thereon. He
was the first white settler on that
side of the river.
Mr.. Harris lived a good life and
was highly respected by all who knew
him.
Despite his advanced age, 90 years,
he enjoyed unimpaired faculties, was
surprisingly active, with the excep-
ton of few weeks in which he de-
clined rapidly. When the summons
came he passed peacefully on to his
rest

Soul and body meet again.
No more sorrow, no more weeping,
No more pain"

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1908-08-07

The following is taken from the
editorial column of the Detroit Jour
nal of Friday:
The Reliance Motor Co., which
promises to be one Of the largest
manufacturers of commercial cars in
the country, is packing up to leave
Detroit and locate in Owosso.
1t is a curious story of squandered
civic opportunity not essentially in
toxicating to the people of Detroit,
but still profitable in context and in
moral. The Reliance Co., conceived
and organized in Detroit and the pio-
neer In the field OF commercial vehi-
cles, spent 100000 perfecting its
car. When the car had been per-
fected for the market 100000 was
needed to carry on the business of
manufacturing the cars. Several De-
troit capitalists We're approached to
no purpose. The board of commerce
was consulted and requested to ap-
peal to the progressive spirit and civic
pride of its members. The appeal
was in vain. The board of commerce
was sympathetic but unproductive.
Owosso, about the size of one pre-
cinct Of our Ninth ward, heard Of the
quest Of the Reliance Motor Co, and
Owosso said-Come up and take the
100000 and anything else you
need. The Reliance Motor Co. went.
because after earnest and exhaustive
solicitation, it was unable to secure
equal encouragement in its native
city of 100000 and vast civic ambi
ton.
Moreover, when Adrian and Lans-
ing heard of the coup of Owosso they,
too, came forward with offers of sites
and capital and facilities quite as al
Turing as the inducements of Owosso.
1t is vastly soothing to our pride and
municipal self-confldence thus to be
despoiled by spirit of competitive
progress of our large industries, par
ticularly by towns that boast the size
and resources of Owosso, Adrain and
Lansing.
What's the trouble? Unmistak-
ably, one fundamental trouble lies in
the Board of Commerce. If it is good
policy to bring large industries to De-
troit, it is equally good to keep in De-
troit what large industries we al
ready have. The Board of Commerce
has made some progress in the last
two years. "A failure to cope with a
situation such as this Is due to some
defect in organization or to lack of
organization. 1t has been amply
demonstrated that Detroit has citi-
zens Of wealth who are commensur-
ately public spirited and progressive
There should be a committee or
bureau-the official title is unimpor-
tant so long as the work is done-to
call the attention of the citizens to
worthy enterprises that require
money to engage in productive bust
ness. 1t means the employment of
labor, reciprocal business and pros
perity. That committee or bureau
should be composed of business men
whose experience has been so extern
sive and judgment so sound that a
favorable report from them on a re-
quest for capital would mean i'm
mediate response from Detroit capt.
talists.
Our exceedingly humiliating ex-
perience with the Reliance Motor Co.
should convince us that what we
need is effective organization of our
capital and our public spirit with the
end of applying it where it will do
the most good-do Detroit the most
good

Even though apple trees are care
| fully sprayed in the spring, it is sell
dom possible to have the winter vari.
cites free from worms. This is due
| to the fact that the second brood of
| the worms appear in August after the
effect Of the spring spraying has been
lost. The mothes appear anywhere
from August 10 to 25 and deposit
their eggs for the most part upon the
foliage. These hatch in about ten
days and the small worms feed upon
the leaves, or perhaps upon the small
fruits, and at length eat their way
into the apples, generally at the side,
selecting If possible, point where
two fruits are in contact or where a
leaf rests upon an apple. From these
facts it can be seen that it is possible
to prevent injury to the fruit by
spraying the trees before the egg
matches, or about the middle of Aug
ust. For this purpose, there is moth
ing better than arsenate of lead used
at the rate of two pounds in fifty gal
Ions of water or, in the case of va
riety subject to the attack of apple
scab it may be applied in Bordeaux
mixture. but owing to the danger of
spotting the fruit, this should not
contain more than two pounds Of cop
per sulfate and two pounds of stone
lime in fifty gallons. Care should
be taken to thoroly spray the trees.
covering the leaves as we'll as the
fruits, as this will greatly increase
the chances of destroying the small
worms.
That this treatment will be effec-
tual has been very conclusively de-
monstrated many times during the
last few years as while the orchards
that have not been sprayed at all,
or that do not receive the August
application, have had the fruit near
ly ruined by the codling moth. the
trees that were sprayed between
August 10th and 18th have been
practically free from worms, thus, in
some cases, doubling the value of
the crop.
The use Of arsenate of lead at this
time will also be very helpful in de-
stroying the fall web worm and other
leaf-eating insects that often do Sc
rious harm to apple trees during the
fall months.
While it is somewhat more expen-
sive than Paris green, which is often
used for the same purpose at the rate |
of abaut five ounces in fifty gallons |
of water, 1t will be much more effec- |
tual as it has far greater adhesive |
qualities and hence remains much |
longer on the trees, the Paris green
being readily washed off by rains.
Tt also has the advantage of not in
iuring the foliage while Paris green
If used in water without the addition
Of lime does serious harm.
Especially If the trees were not
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture ear
Ter in the season, its use should not
be omitted at this time as even
though the variety is one that is not
much injured by apple scab, the use
Of a fungicide in August will prevent

Rats. Plague Carriers of india.

Before plague makes its appearance
in a house the rat mortality generally
gives warning and a case occurs
among the people in a house near
which rats have been found. The peo-
pie have now come to know that there
is some connection between the rat
mortality and the occurrence of
plague cases in a certain locality. The
rats go about from one place to an
other and they carry infection from
place to place and render the task OF
controlling plague. when it is once
spread, very difficult 1t therefore
necessary that the public should CO.
operate with the health department TO
destroy as many rats as possible. The
rains have now stopped, and, as it is
the breeding season for rats, the pres
ent is the fittest occasion for cam
paign against rats-Bombay Gazette.
