SPRING RECORD BREAKER.
Creamery Department of American
Farm Products Excels All Pre-
vious Records.

Down at the American Farm Pro-
ducts plant, they are establishing new
spring records in the creamery depart
ment. Last week they made 21,500
pounds of butter, which for this time
of the year is the largest amount the
plant ever turned out. This is an aver
age of over $500 pounds a day. Best
of all the end is not in sight. Manager
Monroe says the output is increasing
daily, better than 500 pounds.
In the main the reason for their ac-
tivity is the opening of the new cream
stations all over the state. Two sta
tions opened in large southern towns
in Michigan last week, each contributed
IA cans of cream on the day of their
opening and have daily increased this
amount since.

decidedly favorable to the granting of
the request for new station on the
Grand Trunk, to be located if the land
can be secured just west of Washing
ton street. new Michigan Central
station on or near the present site, and
new building at the junction. In
deed, the representatives of the roads
present did not oppose action. admit
ting that the present buildings were not
adequate to the needs of the city nor in
keeping with other public buildings in
Owosso.
The Commissioners, Messrs. G. L.
Glasgow, g. w. Dickinson and James
Scully were met at the trains and given
brief automobile ride about the city
previous to the meeting which was
held in the parlor of the Owosso Say
ings Bank with more citizens present
than could crowd into the room. Com
missioner Glasgow presided and after
stating the object of the meeting as set
forth in the several petitions from resi-
dents of the city, called upon the rep
resentatives Of the city to present their
case. E. o. Dewey briefly outlined the
wishes of the citizens and stated the
action of the Improvement Association,
and his remarks were supplemented by
j. G. Shattuck. w. F. Gallagher, H. B.
Sturtevant, Mayor Burke, F. w.
Pearce, City Attorney Pulver, Warren
Pierpont, DR.. d. H. Lamb, each of the
speakers bring out some few point so
that verv complete showing was
made in behalf of the city. The rep.
resentatives of the three railroads,
Acting Superintendent J. Ehrrke and
Resident Engineer L. L. Irving of the
Grand Trunk, Chief Engineer g. H.
Webb, Division Superintendent NJ c..
Coyle, and Asst. Engineer R d. Star
buck of the Michigan Central, and AT.
torney Drake of the Ann Arbor, stated
the willingness of their roads to act on
the lines mentioned by the citizens,
although the representatives of the
Michigan Central were somewhat sur.
prised that the agitation for union de-
pot had been dropped. Each admitted
the crying need of immediate action at
the junction and the indications are
that the Commission will insist upon
immediate steps being taken to replace
the rookery now occupied or forbid its
further use.

city, will do forestry work during the
summer vacation under the direction of
the forestry division of the Department
OF Agriculture. With a number of other
students at the Michigan Agricultural
College, he has been appointed to this
work at salary of $75 per month and

Additional Names for Census List.

The enumefators in the five wards
completed their work on Monday with
the exception of securing information
as to few families who are out of the
city but have not as yet made their
returns to the district supervisor. The
publication of an article in the city
papers calling attention to the impor-
tance of enrolling every resident of the
city has resulted in the placing of more
than thirty names on the list.
If anyone has been missed they are
requested to fill out and mail the cou-

Local Option Law VIII Be Enforo ed.

Prosecuting Attorney Byron p. Hicks
and Sheriff John A. Watson were in
Lansing the latter part of the week
getting posted as to the rulings of At
torney General Bird on the local option
law so that they may know just what
is expected in the enforcement of the
law in this county These gentlemen
have stated publicly that it is their in
tention to strictly enforce the law dur
ing the remainder of the time they
hold the offices named. Everyone who
knows these gentlemen will believe
their statement as their past official
record has shown them to be fearless in
doing just what they have taken oath
to do. 1t is however, not fair for the
people of the county who advocated the
adoption of local option to pay no more
attention to the subject and expect
these gentlemen and the police officers
of the county to carry out the provi-
sions of the law. The organization of
the County Welfare Association, COM
posed as it is of representative citizens,
is assurance to Messrs. Watson and
Bicks that the Importance of cooper
ating with them is realized by the
friends of the law and that they will be
upheld in their official acts in the en-
forcement of this law.
Mayor Burke has stated that it is his
intention to require the police officers
of the city to see that the lid" is kept
on tight for the year to come.
