|Laborers Should Get
a Comfortable Liuj11g

beyond all question the competitive
wage is insufficient to furnish to the
laborer an income with which to
maintain his family in a proper stan
dard of living, 1t is fortunate thing
for the city that the competitive
wage is not the most important factor
in the question.
"a municipality does not use it's
labor for the production of commodi-
ties which sell in competitive mar
ket. There is no competitor to drive
the city out of the field unless its
labor is obtained at the lowest pos
sible competitive price. Hence, eco.
nomic conditions do not require this
but, instead, permits it to pay a fair
living wage to it's laborers. And in
proper view, truer vision, there
can be no question that this is the
part of wisdom.

Spokane's Mayor Says 1t Is Of
Vast Importance That They
Live With Families
In Decency.

Spokane, Wash, March 2.-"There
is no room for question that it is of
vaster Importance to Spokane that
it's laborers shall be able to live with
their families in decency and comfort
than that we shall be able to say we
pay them the lowest figure which
hard economic conditions will force
them to accept"
Mayor Nelson s. Pratt says this is
a special communication to the coun-
Gil. recommending that the city raise
the wage of laborers from $275 to SO
day and that of the teamsters from
$3.50 to Sc a day. He shows also in
compilation of reports, submitted to
the council, that since 1906 the in
crease in, the average price in Ameri-
ca of SO staple commodities, including
all necessary foods, amounts to 81
per cent, while in the same length of
time the average increase in wages,
determined by investigation of more
than 1000 industrial establishments,
is only about 6 per cent. He adds

Municipal Skating Ponds.

The common council at a special ses-
sion Tuesday afternoon authorized the
expenditure necessary to provide muni-
cipal skating ponds at two points in the
city-the southeast corner Of Main and
Comstock streets and on West Main
on the vacant lots about the band
stand. Other sites had been secured
and 1t was expected that all would be
utilized for the benefit of the children
who skate, but shortage in the water
supply due to the tapping of water
veins in the construction of the large
south Owosso sewer caused the alder
men to hesitate about using city water
to any large amonnt just at present.
On the sites secured the snow is to be
scraped off and an embankment form
ed which will be sprinkled sufficiently
to form a>basin when frozen and then
the fire engine will be utilized to pump
water from the river to flood the pro-
perty and thus provide excellent skat-
ing places which will afford unbounded
pleasure to the children of the city. If
the plan works out satisfactorily the
other available sites will be flooded
The council is to be commended for
taking this action.

Her Death Game Very Suddenly.

Mason, Dec 23.-D. j. Gillian, reach
ed here at 1884 this morning with the
body of Mrs Gillian which was imme
diately taken to the home of Rev. and
Mrs. w. Fl. Simmons The funeral SER
vices will be held tomorrow at 1:3Q p.
m. in the same house where Mrs. Gillian
was married in 1908. Rev. F. g. Elicit
will officiate, assisted by Rev. G. L.
Beebe and Rev. J. H. Stewart. A spec
ial car on the M. u. r. will be in read
mess to take the funeral cortege to Mt
Hope avenue, Lansing, where carriages
will be in waiting to carry those in the
car to Mt. Hope cemetery, where the
burial will take place.
The friends of Mrs. Gillian have
learned more of the particulars of her
death since Mr.. Gillam's arrival. She
was greatly interested in the furnishing
and settling of her new home, but on
Monday, not feeling as well as usual,
she did not go to the hotel for her meals
with Mr.. Gillian, preferring to stay at
the home. At night when he went to
his supper, Mrs Gillian chatted with
him as he left and sent some errands by
him. When he returned a little later
the house seemed very quiet as he en-
tered and he called her name, but re-
ceived no reply. He passed through
the rooms until he reached the bedroom
and when he turned on the lights he
saw her lying on the bed, but perceived
at once that her life had departed.
He hastily called physician, who
told him that Mrs. Gillam's death was
instantaneous and probably occurred
very soon after he left the house. That
the end came without a struggle was
very apparent. Mrs. Gillam's was a
beautiful character and she is sincerely
mourned by many friends wherever
she was known.
Katherine Kelsey Gillian was born in
Byron on February 26, 1861. The fam.
lily afterward moved to Corunna, where
Mr. Kelsey served for 18 years as pro.
bate judge of Shiawassee county, and
later his daughter served 16 years in the
same Office as probate registar. On
May 9, 1908, Miss Kelsey was united in
marriage at Mason, to Daniel J. Gillian.
They lived in Lansing until last July,
when Mr.. Gillian went to Poulson,
Montana, and entered business there
Later he sent for Mrs. Gillian, who had
stayed with her sister, Mrs. w. Fl. Sim
mons, who is in poor health On Dec
ember 9, Mrs. Gillian left Mason for
Montana, and she only lived ten days
after joining her husband in their west.

Here is An Opportunity To Be
Generous.

The committee of the Owosso I'm

undertaken to raise money needed to
meet obligations incurred in securing
the right of way for the Lansing &
Northeastern electric road is still short
nearly $l75 of the amount necessary to
meet the Indebtedness after making a
canvass of the business interests of the
city. The committee has already spent
good deal of time IN soliciting and
will appreciate it if citizens who are
willing to subscribe will call at the
store of J. G. Shattuck and sign the
subscription papers. This will give all
citizens an opportunity to do something
toward advancing the interests of
Owosso.

NOW FOR THE ARMORY
Clear Title Presented to the State
Military Board.

The committee appointed by the
Owosso Improvement Association to
raise the money needed to pay the
mortgage Indebtedness on the armory
site at the foot of Exchange street has
completed its work and on Tuesday,. 81
G. Shattuck chairman of the commit.
tee, gave Captain Frank E. Evans of
Company 81 a check for $79S. .21 and the
mortgage was promptly discharged
Today Captain Evans and Colonel
George B. McCaughna are in
Lansing to present the State Mill
tary Board with the deed and abstract
showing a clear title to the property.
This puts matters in shape 80 that
Owosso is now in line for state ap-
preparation of at least $4,000 for the
erection of the armory. Just how soon
the money can be expected is uncertain
as other cities are pressing their claims
but it is hoped that arrangements will
be perfected 80 that work on the build.
ing may be commenced within few
months
The citizens of the community ought
to appreciate the work of the com
mittee which solicited the nseded funds
and to the business men for their
= liberality in subscribing the same.
Calls of this kind are as rule generous
ly met by the local dealers and manu-.
facturers and far too often others who
are abundantly able to assist in work
OF this kind escape altogether simply
because they are not actively engaged
in business.

Will Increase Acreage Of Sugar seets

Will increase acreage OF sugar 6eotS
"This has proven a wonderful year
for the beet sugar industry in this local
ity," says the Flushing Observer, "and
the yield has been bountiful indeed.
The acreage was larger than ever be-
fore and the results have proven gener-
ally satisfactory to those who engaged
in the culture of this crop. Nearly all
of the crop is now marketed and Mr..
Rogers who is field man for the Owosso
Sugar Company here, says that the
company will pay the farmers more
than $50, 900 for the crop raised in this
vicinity. The acreage of the Saginaw
Company was not quite 80 large but
when the amount which they have dis
tributed is added to the above one can
see that the sugar industry has become
an important factor to the agricultural
interests of this community. Many
growing beets have had remarkable
yields this season a few of which are
mentioned. The following is the net
amount paid to the producer after all
expenses were paid even to the seed,
and the amount is the average per acre
F. R. Ottawny $71; Clarence Luce $50;
Geo. Boman $41; A. M. Johnson $61;
August Deick $9S ana Phillip Burgess
$50. 1t is said that the acreage in this
locality will be more than doubled for
the next season and some will raise as
high as 80 acres"
