Seed Wheat Frauds.

Complaints are coming in to the
State Board OF Agriculture of seed
wheat frauds being perpetrated on
farmers in various parts of the state
by INSCRIPTIONS seed takers" The
scarcity of good seed wheat in Oklaho-
ma this year helps the takers to carry
out the fraud.
The method usually followed is this
the faker advertises seed wheat of
fabulous purity and productiveness.
On account of its exceptional quality
he asks high price; and he adds that
cash must accompany orders. The
farmer having no seed wheat of his own
end knowing the value of good seed
sends in his order accompanied by good
cash. He receives in return, wheat
that in many instances is scarce
ly tit for chicken feed. If he becomes
angry enough to investigate, me finds
that the dealer" has no financial re-
sponsibility and he has no recourse,
The faker has his money and he has
the worthless wheat.
The Board of Agriculture does not
permit such practices, and if the prop
er information is furnished, will take
steps to prosecute the guilty parties
The farmer can help by sending in in
formation and 10y refusing to purchase
from such fellows.
Don't buy seed wheat unless you
know what YOU are buying. Insist on
having the wheat you buy, inspected.
Or, il it has not been inspected, get a
sample and send it to the Board OF Ag-
riculture. II will be tested without
cost to you and report will be sent

Twins Celebrate.

On Saturday, June Gath, the home Of
w. ]. Baese was the scene of beauti.
tiful birthday party, given by the
twins, Mrs w. J. Baese, of Fairfield,
and Mrs. w. c. Fox. of Pittsburg, to
their old schoolmates and friends to the
number of sixty. Those in attendance
from distance were w. G. Fox and
wife. of Pittsburg; Frank Baese and
wife, of Bennington Twp, and Mrs.
Chas, Green and daughter Edith, of
Pittsburg. The greatest attraction of
the occasion was the dinner prepared
by the twins. Porter James with his
phonograph and automobile helped to
entertain during the afternoon. Nina
and Mary received many beautiful
presents. The hour of leave taking
came only too soon. After wishing the
twins many happy returns of the day
each one expressed themselves that 1t
had been day well spent.-Elsie Sun.

Fa m Products Plant Closed.

Announcement was made Monday
that the plant of the Dairy Farm
Products Co., in this city had closed in
definitely. The plant has just been
overhauled and put in shape to start
business again when orders were re-
ceived to close. No explanation has 80
far been given but it seems to be under
stood by those in control here for the
management that the plant will not be
operated in the near future under it's
present management. The plant under
the Dudley management was a money
maker and it is claimed continued to
show good results until all the plants
under the control of the American
Farm Products 20. were closed under a
receivership.
The ice cream business was closed
out to the G. A. Connor Ice Cream Co.
which purchased the pals, tubs. etc
and to ]. n Evans, who took part of
the machinery.
1t Is limited that already inquiries
have been received for the plant and
that it may be re-opened shortly under
new management.

Over the L. & N. z. With Electric
4 Power Officials Visit Owosso.

"A Power Officials Visit Owosso.
Car Number SO of the M. U. r. line
made the first run over the line Of the
Lansing & Northeastern railroad from
Lansing to Owosso, Thursday morning,
carrying party of officials snd several
visitors. The run including the stops
at the several stations and at other
points took little less than two hours
The roadbed was found to be in excel
lent condition most of the way and
within few months it will be proven
to be what Hon. T. w. Atwood prom
ised it should be when he started the
work, the best piece of electric road in
the state. The sink hole at Haslett is
practically in shape 80 that it is thought
little trouble will be experienced in the
future, while the soft place on the
Williams farm just south of the city is
being filed in and solid bed will soon
De obtained. The work of putting in
the diamonds for the Grand Trunk
crossing in this city was completed
Thursday and the connection with the
line Of the o. q G.. E. will be completed
at once SO that the cars can come down
town.
The gentlemen who came over on the
firstltrip were: G. F. Faber, superin-
tendent of interurban lines; F. W..
Brown, general express and passenger
agent; G. N. Lennon, electrical en-.
gineer; M. S. Rails, superintendent of
maintenance of way; E. E. Soles, pub
licity agent; M. H. Collins, travelling
auditor, all of jackson; r. E. Bracket,
Jr., Col. J. N. Cox of Lansing; E. E.
Vivian and N. B. Atwood.
Beginning tomorrow morning regu-
lar service will be instituted, the first
car leaving at Z a. m and every two
hours thereafter. AS soon as all work
on the road is completed more frequent
service will be given.
Owosso is thus connected with its
neighbors to the south, Morrice, Perry
and Shaftsburg and the line will prove
to be a great accommodation to all the
residents in the southern part of the
county who wish to come to Owosso to
do business and it will be equally as
valuable to Owosso citizens who desire
to make these towns as well as the Pine
lake resort and Lansing.
Owosso rejoices over the completion
of the road and the starting of the ser.
vice and the wish is general that it will
prove a paying investment.

SERVICE TO START
On the L & N. E. Saturday-Hour
and a Half Schedule.

After our last issue had gone to press
notice was received from the manage
ment that service on the electric line
between this city and Lansing was to
start on July Sth. The following ex-
tracts are from the letter
From the Office of A. W.. McLimont,
vice president and general manager of
the Michigan United Railways Com
pany, comes the announcement of the
formal opening of traffic on the new
Lansing Owosso electric line Saturday,
July 8. On that date passenger service
will be started and the first electric cars
will be operated out of Owosso and
Lansing at z a. m. With the first trips
by these cars another rich territory will
have been opened to electric travel and
the rapidly expanding electric sys-
tenn of the Michigan United Railways
Company will have annexed another
promising line.
While passenger service will be start
ed on July 3, it is planned to send the
first cars over the line on Wednesday,
July 5. On this date several cars will
be operated for testing purposesin order
that employees may learn" the road
and become accustomed to conditions.
According to present plans it Is pro-
posed to operate cars on an hour.and-a-
half schedule from the two terminals,
Lansing and Owosso. These cars will
make connection at Lansing with cleo
trio trains to and from jackson, Detroit,
Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and st. Johns,
Express freight service such as is oper.
ated on other lines of the Michigan
United system will be installed later.
The new line is about 33 miles long
and serves rich farming territory and
a number of prosperous towns 1t il
equipped with the third rail system OF
power transmission and is said to offer
one Of the best stretches of track on the
entire Michigan United system.

Plans for New Depots.

The Michigan Central and the Grand
Trunk railroads have fled plans for new
depots in this city with the State Rail-
road Commission, also plans for trans
fer station at the junction. The blue
print for the Michigan Central locates
the building just north of the Ann Ar
Dor tracks near the junction, too far
away to be used as q joint transfer sta
tion, and shows small building to be
used for transfer purposes to be built
on the site Of the present ticket Office.
The plan of the Grand Trunk shows q
much larger and better arranged trans
fer station. The Ann Arbor has not az
yet filed its plans, having asked for
additional time as it proposed to erect
"a more elaborate station than at first
contemplated. 1t is expected that the
plans of the latter road will be filed
shortly and then the Commission will
send or bring all the plans to Owosso
for inspection and possibly conference
with the officials of the roads will be
called to agree upon the junction sta
tion.
1t has been thought by many resi-
dents of the city that if the Michigan
Central finally decides to locate its
depot near the junction that it would
be 30 located and of such size that the
other roads could use it as tenants for
transfer purposes, thus requiring the
erection Of but one building at the
junction. Evidently the railroad Off
cials do not contemplate such course.
The Railroad Commission is concern
ed as to the question of sewer connec-
tions at the junction and it is evident
that the city will have to provide the
same to ensure the erection of buildings
with modern conveniences. The coun.
Gil should give heed to this matter at
once.
