To the Honorable Mayor and Council Of the
City of Owosso.
Gentlemen:
The Board OF Public Works this day voted TO
recommend that the blowing OF the fire whistle
for curfew be continued, the reason being as
follows: The fireman of duty when the cur.
few is blown is expected to report at the
works when fire alarm Is given After be-
coming accustomed to hearing the curfew he
Is likely to fail TO awaken to a f1re alarm and
thus render the force short handed In case OF
fire.
Respectfully,
A. II. Dumond,
City Clerk.

Confederate Veterans
To Entertain Union Vets.

Chattanooga. Tenn, Aug. II.
There is a movement among
prominent Confederate veterans
| in the south to have a special
committee appointed from their
organization in each state to be
in Chattanooga on the occasion
of the 47th National Encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the
Republic and do everything pos
sible to make the Union veterans
feel that the Gray army appre-
ciates the coming to the south OF
the men who wore the Blue.
This proposition was at first
advanced by Capt. J. r. Gibbons,
of Beauxite, Ark. Capt. Glib
bons attended the reunion at
Gettysburg, and is enthusiastic
over the reception in Pennsylva-
MIA of the veterans who wore the
Gray. He says in a letter to
Capt. J. F. Shipp that he has
never had his uniform so hon
ored as by the Grand Army men
at Gettysburg"
Capt. ]. F. Ship, of this city,
another Confederate veteran, at
tended the Gettysburg reunion
also, and is in hearty accord with
the plan suggested by Capt. Glib
bons. Capt. Shipp reports to the
Chattanooga Encampment Asso-
citation that his reception by the
Grand Army at Gettysburg was
most cordial, and he IS dong all
he can to have the favors that he
and his comrades enjoyed at Get
tysburg paid back here during
the Encampment.
The Union soldiers of the north
are assured of a most hearty well
come to Chattanooga and a whole
week of proverbial southern hos
pitality awaits them. Confed-
crate veterans are leading in this
feature of the work and are anx-
ious for the time to arrive when
the streets of the city will be
lined with the veterans wearing
the Blue uniform.

II Birds Didn't Breakfast.

eff bird not breakfast man
would not dine"
Into this crisp sentence, Ed
ward B. Clark, writing in THE
Country Gentleman" puts the
practical philosophy of our
game protection laws. The
value of birds to agricul-
tural interests has long been
appreciated in the worlds older
countries where the wear and
tear of civilization compelled men
to avail themselves Of every pos
sible aid to conserving natural
resources. But in America we
are just beginning to realize the
heavy debt we shall have to pay
if the indiscriminate slaughtt r
Of birds continues unchecked.
Mr.. Clark quotes French scien-
fist as saying that if all the birds
should suddenly die, man would
have only a years life left to
him. Certain it is that if field
and orchard are deprived of the
natural protection which insect
eating birds afford, crops will di-
minish both in quantity and
quality, and in time the farmer
will face a problem more serI j
than any with which he has e
before been confronted.-Atlai. 1

Fodder-pulling time will soon
be here again and many a corn
field will be 'butchered" in this
way at a greater expense in labor
and decreased corn yield than it
would have cost to produce twice
as much forage in some other
way. Pulling corn fodder is prac-
ticed only in the South and more
largely in the Southeast, but the
sooner we recognize that a corn
crop grown for corn should be al
lowed to mature before its leaves
are removed, and that either
the whole stalk and leaves should
be utilized for feed, or hay pro-
duced by the growing OF hay
crops, the better it will be for
our livestock and our pocket
books. -The Progressive Farmer
