SHEEP HUNTING LATEST.

season for shooting sheep, the long
arm of the law is trying to disc over
who killed Andrew Bodine's "woolIy
lamb"

east of Mt. Morris, strolled into his
sheep pasture Sunday afternoon and
stumbled upon sheep skin. T''e-e
was no sheep in the sheep skin, i wv

mutton. Instead of informing the
county game warden Mr. Bodine took
his grievance to the sheriff's oRce

looking for evidences of a ma ton
dinner about the Bodine neig,. bor-
hood.

to cover the additional expense in

the evil developments that have
characterized the last decades i'm this
country, shall assume that it is i'm
possible to prevent monopoly, and
shall merely set the Government TO
preside over it, see that its processes
are assuaged and rendered less cruel.
see that the monopoly becomes a
providence for the people as well as
a master over them.
On such program what the
country has hoped and waited for
is impossible. Apparently only the
Democratic leaders know that it is
impossible. They are not blind to
the new developments of business.
They know that modern business
cannot be conducted as business was
conducted generation ago, but
though they are quite aware that
business must be upon a great scale,
they know that the only sound way
of conducting business is to let il
grow big by natural growth, based
upon efficiency, economy, intelli-
gence, enterprise, and that when
business is big because allowed a
brutal control, based merely upon
combination and monopolistic agree
ment, it is unwholesome and dan
gerous and arbitrary in all its pro-
cesseS.
The claim of the Democratic party
to the confidence of the country is
based upon its perception of these
things, upon its determination to at
tack them frankly and directly, and
upon its unhesitating courage in the
enterprise. 1t is not embarrassed by
alliances. Its leaders are absolutely
free. It's purpose is clear andhas
bee n forming through half gen.
GRAFTON. 1t has the impulse of con-
viction, and is sustained in its en-
terprises by demonstrable facts.
The present situation of business
in this country is wholly abnormal.
To carry out with soberness and dis
cretion the program proposed by the
leaders of the Democratic party will
be to release American business from
artificial conditions an dto give 1t a
new era of freedom and expansion
and a new variety in enterprise.

SUCCESSFUL TRAP FOR CROOK
Deputy Sheriff f.. l.. Powers Pulls off
Clever Stunt

On August 25th, Herbert Letson,
farm hand then employed by Jas.
Taylor. stole his employers favorite
rifle. For this transgression he was
committed to the county bastile for
term of 30 days.
After serving his time Mr.. Taylor
decided that his hired man had been
sufficiently chastened and he rein
stated him. He worked faithfully
until September Gath when the sight
of the rifle reposing in a corner
again tempted him.
Mr. Taylor had gone to deliver a
load Of grapes and his son was at
school, Mrs. Taylor, an invalid, be-
ing alone in the house when Lctson
took the rife and departed.
Upon learning OF the loss Mr.. Tay-
lor at once reported the facts to
Deputy Sheriff Powers who went to
work next day to locate young Let
son. He made three trips to Sag
inaw before getting any satisfactory
line on his man, but on the last trip
with the assistance of Detectives

plot to ensnare the offender.

pecting, and much more in sight
look as though Pittsburgh petroleum
magnates have strong confidence in
this section Of the state as an oil
field. When a week ago it was an
nounced that 1000 acres had been
secured it caused a great deal Of
comment but now that from reliable
sources the information comes that
t50Q0 acres have been optioned and
that the lessees are still busy
the project appears much stronger
and there are predictions to the ef-
feet that Genesee county may be-
come the center of the new Michigan
oil industry
These predictions are based sole
~ upon the geological surveys which
designate the territory being option
ed as oil lands This territory is a
strip about three sections in width,
and running northward through the
east halves Of the townships of Clay

dications point to the presence Of
oil, but OF course this cannot be de-
termined until the drilling has been
