Owosso Second in List.

The appropriation bill making avail
able $4,000 year for the erection of
armories about the state passed both
branches of the legislature Tuesday
and will, without question, be ap.
proved by Gov. Osborn at once. Under
the act Kalamazoo will receive the
entire sum raised the first year and
Owosso would come next for $l5, 900,
with Grand Rapids third, these cities
having complied with the requirement
to furnish the site in the order named.
Under this arrangement the appropri-
alton for this city would probably be
available in 1914, and if the next
legislature can be prevailed upon to
increase the amount to $25, 900 for each
srmory building operations could not
be commenced until after July 1st,
1916. It is known that $4,000 will
not be the kind of building needed
for an armory or one that would be
satisfactory to our citizens and if the
legislature cannot be made to see this,
Owosso and all other cities given but
$4,000 must provide about as much
more money in some manner to ensure
the erection Of a creditable building.
The members of the Owosso I'm
provemement Association requested
Gov. Osborn in a telegram early last
week to bring the matter of this ap-
preparation to the attention of the
legislature and to suggest the increase
to $40, 1000 or $4,000. The members of
the local military company are pleased
with the prospect of some day having a
permanent home which will be an
ornament to the city.

No Forged Notes.

"The public generally has been labor
ing under misapprehension as to the
true state of affairs with regard to the
alleged forged notes which it was
Claimed were found among the assets
of the State Sayings Bank of Dowagiac
at the time it was closed by the state
Banking Commissioner, says George
W. Haffner, cashier of the bank of Len.
non, which also closed its doors at the
same time. "There were no forged
notes issued or in the possession of
either bank. The alleged forged notes
found in the Dowagiac bank were
merely memorandums If notes owned
by the State Savings Bank, the origi-
nails being held at the Bank of Lennon
that they might be produced when the
maker was ready to pay.
"The reason for this course was that
the bank of Lennon did not have suffi-
cient funds to carry all the farmers
who wanted accommodations on sheep
notes during feeding time. Under an
arrangement made with the Dowagiac
State Savings Bank the money to make
the loans the bank of Lennon could not
care for was furnished by the State
bank. The notes were made payable
at the bank Of Lennon, but were not
part of its assets, neither did they ap.
pear on its books as such. AS fast as
the notes were paid the money was
sent to the Dowsgiac Bank and the
memorandum notes would be destroy
ed. All Of the paper is perfectly good,
and as matter Of fact more than half
of it has been taken up since the trouble
arose."
You can plainly see that the people
of Lennon and surrounding country
have placed their confidence in the new
bankers and their cashier, George w.
Haffner who was retained by the new
organization, by the fact that $4,000
has been deposited in the past two
weeks. This speaks well for the new
organization and its reliable cashier,
Mr.. Haffner.

Knights Iemplar Election.

A large number of fraters of Owos-
so Commandery No. 49, knights
Templar, attended the slated annual
conclave of the commandery, held
Tuesday evening. r
The commandery voted unanim-
ously to attend, asa commandery,
the annual conclave of the state COM
mandery which will be held in De-
troit June 4 and 5. There are two
reasons why the commandery desires
to attend and be represented by
large number of the fraters., First,
the conclave is to be held in the home
city of Right Eminent Grand Com
mander Kessler, who has a warm
place in the hearts of Owosso fraters.
The other main reason is that a
frater of Owosso commandery, It's
G. L. Campbell is now deputy grand
commander and will be advanced to
the head of the state commandery.
This is an honor, never before en-
joyed by commandery in Michigan,
no older than is the local command
cry, and 1t will be many years before
Owosso commandery will again have
the honor of having one of it's men,
bers at the head of the state com
mandery. The fraters of Owosso
commandery, desirous of showing
their appreciation of Sir Knight
Campbell's services in behalf Of
Owosso commandery and the honor
he brought TO the same, plan to be in
Detroit in June in large numbers.
The commandery accepted the In
vitation of it's excellent prelate, Sir
Knight Carlos II. Hanks, to attend
Ascension Day services at his church
Sunday morning, May 10.

Win Again in Shiawassee In an Exclt-
Ing Contest-MsiorIty Reduced
in a Lighter Vote Than In 1910


The electors of Shiawassee county
decided Monday that local option shall
prevail at least until May 1st. 1914,
and a comparison of the vote this year
with that Of two years ago gives little
hope to the foes Of the law that they
can win two years hence. The greatest
change shown by the returns was in
Owosso. Q wet majority Of 900 being
given as against SO in 1910; townships
which changed from dry to wet were
Rush, -Owosso and Woodruff. The
total vote in Owosso was considerably
larger this year than in 1910, while in
the townships it was smaller. The
vote by precincts follows:

Vote in 1910 on local option: For,

adoption of the law, $40. ~,
Total vote in 1910. 7,709; total vote
1912. 7,472. This shows q decrease in
the total vote this year Of 237 COM
pared with the vote of two years ago.
There were a02 votes less in favor of
local option and 65 more for the
''wets." 1t is fair to presume from
these figures that with as large vote
as that polled in 1910, the dry" ma
