Comp any n Unatle to Pay Indebted

Because of the seeming impossibility
Of meeting the Indebtedness of $4,000
on the Armory the officers of Company
H decided it best to give possession to
the Union Trust Co. and Savings Bank
of Flint, owners of the mortgage, and
this was done on Monday. The mort
gage was originally given for $1,000
and has been reduced to the sum first
mentioned, but further payments could
not be made as the interest and running
expenses absorbed all income and ap-
parently made necessary the step taken.
A lease of the property was secured so
that the company will continue to oc-
cupy the building. 1t is hoped the
present owners will recognize the i'm
perative need of putting the building in
better shape so that it will be fit for
occupancy and will not longer disgrace
the city by its dilapidated appearance.

May Lose Depot Mail Boxes.

The local post Office is in receipt of a
letter from the superintendent of the
railway mail service calling attention
to the fact that too many letters are de-
posted in the letter box at the Ann
Arbor depot and that the handling of
the same interferes with the regular
work of the clerks in the railway mail
service. Some firms have been in the
habit of depositing a large number of
letters at one time instead of taking
them to the post Office or leaving them
in street letter box. The depot boxes
are not intended for such use and may
be removed if the practice mentioned is
not stopped. The boxes were removed
from depots along the line of the Michi-
gan Central two years ago for this
reason.

Another Liquor Damage Case.

for the number of railroad damage
cases commenced and in most instances
successfully prosecuted. The turn now
seems to be cases against liquor dealers
for illegally selling liquor. The last

Attorney P. l.. Sawyer of Fenton, on
behalf of Henry and Emma Snaggs,
who reside on farm near that village,
against George Brown, Arthur Ander-
son, Henry and Arthur Roussin,
Durand, and the Michigan Bonding and
Surety 90. Fred Snaggs, son of the
plaintiffs, became drunk while in Du.
rand in June last and was struck by a
fast Grand Trunk train an6 instantly
killed, as was companion. The par.
ents feel that they have a good case
and that jury will give them liberal
damages.

Not Satisfied With the Brick.

The taxpayers on Oliver and Wash
ington streets have not been at all
pleased with the brick delivered for the
paving and from the first have felt that
they should not be used unless very
thoroughly culled. This feeling con-
tinued to grow and resulted in two or
three meetings being held to talk the
question over AT meeting Monday
afternoon it was decided to call the
matter to the attention of the council
and ask to have the brick tested by the
engineer before more were laid, the
feeling being that this was only justice
to the contractors and property owners.
A petition asking that this be done was
largely signed and taken to the council
in the evening bya delegation of prop
erty owners and for an hour and a
half talked oyer by the aldermen and
citizens, the latter including e. L.
Taylor, w. f. Gallagher, Warren Pier
pont, DR.. J. o. Parker, E. o. Dewey.
City Engineer Joslin reported the work
of inspecting the brick to be very
difficult because of the fact that there
was. no uniformity, some were too hard
others too soft-the latter absorbing
almost double the quantity of water
they should-while others were of fair
ly good quality. The prevailing opinion
seemed to be that the brick company
had not delivered the quality Of brick 1t
agreed to furnish and the censure fell
on the company rather than on the con-
tractors. A more rigid inspection will
be made. Even with this, many of the
property owners will feel that they are
not getting what the contract calls for.

Better Fishing IN the shiawassee.

There now seems to be good pros
pect that the dams in the Shiawassee
river between Saginaw and Owosso
will be provided with proper fish lad
ders at an early date and if this is done
much better fishing will be enjoyed by
the sportsmen next spring. Deputy
Game Warden Thresher of Flint, has
the work in charge and has prepared
the necessary plans and intends to see
that the chutes are installed in the
Chesaning and Parshallburg dams at
an early date. The same thing will
be done at the dam of the Shiawassee
Light & Power Co., as soon as Manager
Fl. A. Sprague is able to get about.

To Aid In State Land Sales.

County treasurers are being furnished
by the state land department with lists
of all state lands within their respective
counties in order that prospective pur-
chasers of such lands may secure the
necessary information at the county
seats instead of making trip to Lans-
ing. Information relative to home
steading lands is also furnished and the
lists will be corrected each month. This
innovation in the handling of state
lands is the result of legislation enacted
at the last session intended to increase
opportunities for citizens to purchase
this class cf lands by allowing them to
arrange for the purchase at their

summer, a period that here fore has

The development of Shiawassee
county as dairy center is one OF
Manager Monroes highest ambitions.
It was through his efforts partially that
the high development of the famous
Elgin district was attained and he il
here to apply those same efforts to this
section of Michigan. The larger the
dairy business becomes about Owosso,
the higher the income from cream and
milk will go. 1t costs far less to collect
milk and cream in well developed dairy
districts than it does in scattered terri
tory. Hence the more the farmer
builds up the dairy the more there is in
it for him because he will be adding to
his own cream price the allowance that
now necessarily is used for collection
expenses
Owosso is the center of lower Michi.
gan. Owosso is surrounded by first.
class farming territory in every direc.
lion. Why should it not become the
center of Michigan dairying? Dairy
development is growing everywhere
every day. There is dollars in it fol
any farmer engaging in it. The cream
separator has solved part of the prob
lem, but the more essential part has
been solved by the establishment OF
such plants as the American Farm Pro
ducts Company. Why not sell your
cream here at home Mr.. Farmer and
help cause that is helping you?

And then it affords employment to
sixty men here in Owosso and as many

Those sixty men are quite an item to
Owosso.
Realizing that its future develop
ment depends entirely on the farmer,
the American Farm Products Company
is paying particular attention to
him. In Mr.. G. D. Monroe, the
present manager, and his able assistants
it places at his disposal group of ex-
pert dairymen. It supplies the farmer
with all available information concern
ing modern dairy methods and spares
no.effort to point out the economical
path to dairy success.
Dairy farming in Michigan is in its
infancy yet. Down in Illinois the dairy
has developed into the most prominent
feature of farm success. At Elgin
there are one hundred and sixty-three
farmers who deliver daily to the Elgin
creamery one hundred and fifty.five
thousand pounds of cream and milk.
Some of them bring in from thirty to
forty cans every day. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to find a farmer there with
dairy herd of more than one hundred
head.
Down there it is all conducted on
scientific plans. Every farmer has a
tester of his own. He knows just what
his product will bring him. He knows
the individual output of every COW.
And when he finds one that is not up
to the standard he takes her out of the
herd and replaces her with one that is.
One or two poor producers will keep an
otherwise high average herd way down.
The American Farm Products Com
pany is endeavoring to induce Michigan
farmers to take up these same methods.
It has foreseen what many progressive
farmers are also coming to realize that
the dairy is going to play an important
feature int he future Michigan farm.
1t has laid its plans with this thought
in view, and is now beginning cam
paign of education that is to, advance
the dairy interests of Michigan every
day.
Once the farmer becomes patron of
the company everything is done to give
him square deal. Standard accepted
weights and testing methods are employ

of the work Pool deliberately shot him,
the shot hitting him in the arms,

excited to aim straight and to this fact
Smith probably owes his life, as it is
not thought the wounds he received
will prove fatal Pool made his escape
