Joy Must be Sought.

Sorrow comes unbidden. but pleasure
must be pursued and sometimes she
will not remain even though you get q
strangle hold on her, so tickle is she.
But the management of the Saginaw
Industrial Exposition. an institution
now recognized as fixture in Michi.
gan have succeeded in coaxing the God.
dess of Joy to remain with them for the
week from September 16 to "a and in
those joyous days mirth will be uncon-
fined. This is the third year of the In
dustrial Exposition and the event this
time will be greater and grander than
ever. Saginaws wonderful develop
ment is splendidly shown in the mag.
nifcent displays in the auditorium
where exquisite taste and colorful har.
mony blend in striking ensemble that
is unsurpassed by any similar display
in Michigan But the amusement feat
ures will this year be accentuated and
there will be spread before the visitor a
vista of attractions and entertainment
possibilities never before seen. Star at
fractions at the theatres, parades and
pagaents by land and water, electrical
displays, Joy rides in Autos, the great
Exhibit itself where Creatore's band,
the greatest in the world twice daily
discourses its marvellous melody, to-
gether with the lure and Charm of life
in great city, all appealing with po-
tent power to the guest within the
gates. 1t is to be the greatest ever.

FRANK n. RUSH
Asks Support For County Treasurer
Has Proven an Efficient Off
ciai In Various Capacities.

ciai In Various Capacities.
Not the easiest Office in the county
to fill satisfactorily is that of county
treasurer, the multitude of little in
tricacies requiring man of persistence
and industry to master, while the ever
changing details of the law call for
constant vigilance to avoid making
costly mistakes. A slight mistake in
almost any direction leads to almost
endless work and correspondence with
the state departments or with the in
dividual who may have business with the
treasurer. Shiawassee county has been
fortunate in the selection of the men
who have filled the Office in the past
and, 80 far as the Republican candi-
dates are concerned, cannot go far
amiss whoever is chosen.
Frank H. Rush, one of the candi-
dates for the Office at the approaching
primary, was born in Bennington
township 81 years ago, and with the
exception of the first few months has
spent his entire life in Owosso town
ship; given district and Owosso high
school education, he chose farming as
his life work and has always been sue
cessful, today owning fine farm south
of the city on the line of the Lansing
Owosso Electric road. From the first
Republican and interested in town
ship and public affairs he was early in
lite called to fill some township Office,
haying filled the list excepting highway
commissioner and constable; supervisor
nine years, clerk and treasurer several
years, etc. His ability and satisfactory
work called attention to his business
capacity and resulted in his election as
auditor and director of the Shiawassee
Mutual Fire Insurance Co., for three
terms each, followed by four elections
the last three unopposed-as secre-
tary of the company. The work in
this Office is about as complicated as
that in the Office of county treasurer
and has given Mr.. Rush drilling
which will stand him in good stead If
he is successful in his present aspira-
tions. He has also served as mem
Der of the county board of canvassers.
Thoroughly interested in everything
looking to the advancement of the
farming community, Mr.. Rush has
been active in the work of the Burton
Farmers Club and Owosso Township
Grange. Personally ever cordial and
genial, he has the happy faculty of
making and holding friends and in his
quiet way transacts whatever business
he has In hand with ease and satisfac-
tion to whoever has to do with him
Mr.. Rush would prove popular
county treasurer.

FAvoRS SENATOR BURROWS
County Commissioner SIocum Be-
Iieves The County Is indebted
To Him.

Editor Times
1t is recognized and acknowledged
fact that constituency is exceeding
ly fortunate when it retains in con-
tinous service for term Of years
its public officials. In matters of
general concern this is most evident
ly seen: That congressional dis
trict which returns from year to year
its representative is the district in
any state which receives the greatest
patronage, whose desires are first
served, whose welfare is first safe
guarded, Those states which most
keenly recognize this self evident
principle make it their sole aim to
place >in the U. S. Senate two men
who can. for many years be of SER
vice to them in that body. Past and
present history proves this.
Not only is such an officials in
iuence felt in general policies but in
local matters he is better able than
any other person to be of service. At
the present, when 80 much is being
said about forcing Sen. Burrows to
step aside and give up his seat to
Congressman Townsend of the Jack.
son District, we of Shiawassee county
should be particularly thoughtful
Not a year has passed since the
people of this locality implored Sen
Burrows to put forth his best efforts
to aid and comfort the bereaved fam
lily of A. w. Green of Corunna. Their
daughter Mrs. DIR. Hawkins, had died
in southern Asia. The Indian gov
ernment was very strict and refused
DR.. Hawkins transportation to the
United States for the remains of his
decea sed wife. What was to be doneH
As soon as Shiawassee friends learn
ed Of the sad conditions all hearts
turned instinctively to Sen. Burrows
for help They realized that he alone
could intercede in their behalf. Michi-
gan's Junior Senator was not called
upon though the State is loyal to him.
The House delegation was not peti.
toned. But letters and kilograms
were at once directed to Sen. Bur-
rows. His characteristic prompt re-
ply to each was, Il shall at once take
up this pitiful duty with the English
Government through our State De-
partment and promise you my best
endeavors. This he did, the con.
ditions were satisfactorily adjusted
and some time during the month of
August the remains of Mrs. Hawkins
will reach Corunna; This act alone
on the part of Sen. Burrows, small az
IL may be, should give him warm
place In the hearts of Shiawassee's
citizens.

Sportsmen's Banquet.

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Shiawassee County
Sportsmen's association held in
Owosso, August Is, the date of Sep
tember IA next, being the time fixed
by the state association for holding
its annual meeting at Owosso, was
also selected by the committee for
holding its annual meeting, joint
meeting with the Shiawassee County
association having been consented to
by the state board.
|, The state association by choosing
Owosso for its convention this year
has paid Shiawassee county fitting
compliment for having the largest
organization and for doing the most
effective work of any county associa-
tion in the state. This has been pos
sible because of the hard, energetic
work of it's officers and the co-opera-
tion of its large membership to carry
out its purposes, viz: the propaga-
tion and protection of game and fish.
The convention will be held at the
Armory during the day and evening,
the business meetings of the associa-
tion to be held during the day and a
grand game and fish banquet follow
ed by special program in the eve
ming. Heretofore the meagre mem.
bership fee of so cents a year has
been found to be insufficient to take
care of the actual expenses and a
few have been compelled each year
to make up the deficiency besides do
ing the active work necessary to
make the meetings a success, and be-
cause of this fact and the additional
expenses of entertaining the State
Association by providing for the
elaborate program and supper and
the increased cost of provisions, 1t
has been found necessary to raise
the membership fee to $1.00 a year.
This will be but small charge for
the spendid feast and entertainment
in store as it will be the most elab-
crate and the most noted speakers of
national reputation will be present
of any such convention in the his
tory of Michigan.
The following speakers have
agreed to come and one or two more
secured later:
Dwight w. Huntington of the
Amateur Sportsman of New York
City, to speak on "The Future of
Field Sports in America" G. E.
Brewster of Washington, d. G.. Game
Law Expert and member Of the Geo
logical Survey, to speak on, "Some
Game Problems in Michigan" Kelly
Evans, Game Commissioner of To-
ronto; T. Gilbert Pearson, Secretary

Coal Mine Abandoned.

Announcement is made that the new
coal mine recently opened in the south
western part of the city by the Robert

of slate above the three foot vain of
coal crumbles when exposed to the air,
making 1t unsafe to work. A large
sum had been expended in sinking the

Senator Robert LaFollette of Wis
consin, the leader of the insurgent
forces of the country, says of Senator
Burrows:
Michigan would make a great mis-
take if it did not return him. We disa-
gree on many things, but Senator Bur-
rows is a man of powerful influence in
the senate, and his position will be
greatly strengthened if he returns. If
lived in Michigan should certainly
vote for him."
This statement ccmipg from the
source it does is great surprise to the
opponents of Senator Burrows. 1t
shows that LaFollette knows and ap-
preciates Burrows as statesman.

The political rechristening of streets

Island of Reunion. which changed its
name four times in Just over half a

but the convention then changed it
to Reunion. Under the empire 1t be.
