Thoughts.
Your money Is blessing when you
bless others with it; it is a curse when
YOU seek to bless only yourself with
il.
Money is always the substantial ex.
preston of the life of the one that
earns it--no more, and no less.
Money is not "the root of all evil "
but, as the true translation is. "a
root of all kinds Of evil"
If you do not learn the right use Of
money while you have little money,
you are little likely to learn it when
you have much money.

The power OF money is like that Of
a storage battery; 1t is stored human
energy.
As it is no kindness to strong
man to 20 and till his field for him,

The saints have been sneered at,

the foes of right will do their work
and go their way, leaving the church

MILK PRICES DROP.
Local Mix Dealers Resume Selling
at Six Gent Rate.

Milk is back to six cents a quart.
About three months ago it was raised
to seven cents quart. At the time it
was asserted by local milk dealers that
the high price paid for whole milk by
the American Farm Products company
was the cause of the raise. The latter
retaliated by selling milk at the plant
at five cents quart. The only condi-
was that the buyer had to go to the
plant to get the milk. This fact did
not deter several hundred from taking
advantage of the opportunity and each
week this number has grown larger.
This may or may not have influenced
the drop in prices. Anyway the drop
has come. Incidentally it might be
stated that the American Farm Pro-
ducts company is now paying $i.4O for
35 milk at the farmers door, which is
still further increase of ten cents per
hundred over what it paid when the
seven cent raise went into effect.

FRANCHISES GRANTED.
Another Aid to Big Growth for
Owosso.

The Common Council passed the or
dinances, Monday, giving the Lansing
& Northeastern Railway Co. the right
to run an electric railway through the
city and the Commonwealth Power Co.
the right to erect poles. string wires,
etc, for power, heat and light when
the franchises are sanctioned by vote
of three fifths of the qualified electors
voting at special election to be held
March 2.
This is by far the best thing that has
happened for Owosso in many months
and there is little question that the
people will see the wonderful help
these two companies will be and will
grant the franchises by an almost
unanimous vote.
Power. heat and light cheaper than
ever before, lots of it and all the time.
Also an opportunity for all Shiawassee
county people to come to Owosso, an
opportunity for US to get on the cars
and go to Lansing, Saginaw, Flint,
Detroit, Chicago, at most any time of
the day every day in the week. Trade
will come from all directions, people
will want to come here to live. prop
erty will be more valuable, more people
to pay taxes, more people to hire labor,
and everything that makes a city pros
porous will be given boost by these
companies being allowed to do business
here. The complete ordinances appear
on another page of the paper and also
the schedule of rates for power and
light.
