will be held a meeting at the armory

to the discipline of the scouts, is
urged to be present at this gathering.
The Boy Scouts Of America is an
association of American youths which
means much to the boys who belong.
Clean and wholesome in its instruc-
lions, it leads the boy to become sell
reliant, interested in the things about
him, and in obeying orders. It. teaches
him clean cut ideas of TRUE Amer
lean patriotism, and lays the founda'
tion for a sturdy and useful life when
he grows older. The movement is
one which is welcomed by every boy
of the capital city, and the Monday
evening meeting will undoubtedly be
largely attended.

Many Silos Being Erected.

A ride through the county in almost
any direction shows many new silos
being erected and every agricultural
writer would put this>down as an indi.
cation of better farming and additional
prosperity for the land owner. On
many farms in Michigan two or more
silos are now maintained 80 that succu-
lent food may be provided for summer
as well as winter, it having been fully
demonstrated that it pays to feed silsge
in the latter part of the summer to sup
plement the dry pasture feed. Shia.
wassee county farmers as class have
been rather slow in building silos but
after one Is built in neighborhood it
is only matter Of year or two before
several others are to be seen and thus
the number has largely increased this
year in the county. The increasing de-
mand for milk, cream and butter has
resulted in more milch cows being kept
and in some instances the silo has been
resorted to to provide for the mainten-
ance Of these animals. Increasing in
terest in dairying means added dollars
to the wealth Of the county both in
dollars and increased fertility of the
soil. For this reason we are pleased to
note the erection of a silo here and
there. Along this line it is of interest
to note that the great Borden milk COM
panies no longer refuse to buy milk from
silo fed cows.
They are now buying milk from sill.
age fed herds and in addition have
recently placed an order for several
silos that are to be erected on the ex.
perimental farms owned by the COM
pany. They have found as result of
experiments that if the cows are fed
ensilage, properly kept after milking
there will be no effect of the feed ap-
parent in the milk. The silo man should
consider this pleasant victory.

To be Improved-WiII Become an
Attractive Little Park.
Work was commenced the first of
the week on the long talked of and
much desired improvements on Fayette
square. Water, sewer and electric con
nections are being put in to about the
center Of the property west of the side
walk running north and south through
the square where it is proposed to put
in fountain and otherwise beautify
the property. The fountain is to be
built in an octagonN shape. which it is
thought will be pleasing change
from the usual circular form seen in
parks, and in this case will be conform
ed to the general plan of making walks
diagonally across the park. 1t is pro-
posed next spring to surround the foun-
tain with flower beds and shrubs and to
provide comfortable seats adjacent to
the same. A separate plan along differ.
ent lines will be worked out for the
improvement of the city property south
of the Episcopal church. The work will
be pushed along as far as possible this
fall and will be completed in the spring
by the setting out of trees and shrubs
Owosso is thus in way to have a fine
little park-just good start toward

g. s Lovelace, great commander of
the X. D. T. NJ. M. sends us the follow
ing statement concerning the action of
the great tent at its recent session:
"The propositions adopted by the
Modern Maccabees for their rate re-
adjustment as applied to the old mem
bers in Glass /, are as follows:
Any member may transfer to Plan b
(sixty year term), Plan G (seventy year
term), Plan d whole life), Plan g
tseventy year annuity, by paying the
rate provided for in such plans, at three
years less than his attained age,
He may transfer to Plan d whole
life), or Plan q (seventy year annuity
by paying the rate as provided for said
plans at age of entry into the society,
by having the present value of the
differen CO between his rate at entry age
and attained age, charged against his
certificate to be deducted at death with.
out future interest on the amount of
said lien.
If he does not elect before December
1st, 1911, to transfer to any of these
plans, he may continue to pay his pres
ent rate, and the value of the difference
between said present rate and the rate
Of his attained age, will be charged
against his certificate and be deducted
ut death with compound interest at four
per cent"

Law in Regard to Finding Of valua-
BILE Property.
By Michigan law, one who fnds
money or other valuable articles is un-
der obligation to take immediate and
exhaustive steps to discover the owner
and restore his property to him. Our
statutes provide that within two days
notice of the finding must be posted in
two public places within the township,
within three days notification must be
made to the township clerk. If the prop
erty is valued at SIC, or more an adver-
tisement must be inserted in a news
paper and continued for six weeks, the
first publication being not less than
thirty days after the finding takes place
Neglect of these precautions deprives
the finder Of the possibility of securing
any title to the articles found, and
might be construed into an intention to
deprive the rightful owner of his prop
erty. which is expressly declared to be
misdemeanor and subjects the guilty
person to q fine with alternative i'm

To be Put In Better Shape-Washing-
ton Street Bridge Will be
Strengthened.

Hon. T. w. Atwood with the engi-
neer of the Northern Construction Co.
was in the city Tuesday to make an in
spection of the Washington street
bridge to determine what will be neces-
sary to strengthen it 30 that it will be
safe to run the heavy cars of the M. U.
r. lines over, thus allowing the cars
from Lansing to come to the corner of
Washington and Main streets or go on
over to the west end of the line. After
making an inspection Mr.. Atwood
stated that work would be commenced
at an early date to put the bridge in
shape and that there would be no de-
lay on the part of the company. 1t is
not expected that any objections will
be made on the part of the city to the
plans for this undertaking.
Mr.. Atwood also informed Mayor
Sprague that the profile for the i'm
provements to be made on the line run
ming to Corunna would be completed
within few days and filed with the
council for approval and that the work
of rebuilding the line would be COM
menced as soon as the city granted per-
mission. New ties are to be used and a
seventy pound rail laid, making the
line equal to that built into the CITY
from the south. There is every reason
to believe that this work will be COM
menced and completed at an early date
as Mr.. Atwood is not in the habit of
making promises he cannot fulfill.
Mr.. Atwood stated that it had not as
vet been definitely decided whether
work would be commenced this fall on
the line between this city and Saginaw.

Would Improve Oliver Street East


The Owosso Improvement Associa-
tion by a unanimous vote on Tuesday
adopted a resolution asking the council
to at once put Oliver street east from
the end of the paving to the city limits
in the best possible shape for travel.
This action is taken in view of the fact
that Caledonia township is just COM
pleting state reward road extending
from the city limits east and north for
a distance of two miles and it was felt
that the city should do its part in pro-
yiding first class road leading into
the city from the northeast. But little
work or expense would be required to
do the work in the city. better drain
age and gravelling for snort distance
is all that is necessary.
