Will Not Consolidate.

The plan to consolidate the two Odd
Fellow lodges in this city, is believed
to have failed. The resolutions planned
to bring about the consolidation, have
been tabled indefinitely by both Colfax
and Owosso lodges, and it is declared
by members of the organization that it
is almost certain that the plan would
be defeated by one or both lodges if
put to vote.
1t is understood that the members of
each lodge are convinced of the stability
of their respective organizations and
ale ayerse to consolidating them.
Colfax lodge Tuesday evening con-
ferred the first degree on two candi-
dates The new Colfax orchestra,
recently organized. furnished excellent
music. The orchestra includes six
pieces and is considered a credit to the
organization.
Colfax temple will be the home of
the new encampment, Golden Rule,
No. 81, which includes the members of
the old Corunna encampment, and new
members from Owosso. On March 6,
it is planned to have the first formal
meeting of the encampment, in this
city. a banquet will be served and it
is expected that the grand encampment
officers will be present.
Members of Owosso lodge No. SS, L,
o. O. f., surprised the Rebekahs after
the latter had concluded imitation,
following the regular meeting Tuesday
night. Drills were put on by both the
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs and an

At Christ Episcopal Church.

At the special service at ChIist
Episcopal church, Sunday afternoon.
the full choir was present and solos
were rendered by Miss Frances Jones
and Mrs. Leigh H. Christian
The convenient hour. the music
and the message, all invite the iu-
creasing number that attend.
Rev. A. ]. Holland, in his address,
was practical and sympathetic. He
said there was point at which per-
severance ceased to be a virtue. In
the sixteenth century, Pallissy, ths
Potter, in his eagerness to perfect a
new enamel forgot not only himself
but also his family. For ambition s
sake, man may sacrifice himself
but not those depending upon him
The aim of such ambition is general
ly not to add to the social welfare.
but to satisfy individual greed.
This" said Rev. Holland. SIS the
sin of Big Business. To achieve its
purpose it grinds up the human
element. For profit, telegraph com
panies send boys into the lowest dives
in big cities; for profit. the south
grinds up in its cotton mills the chit
dren upon whom it's future prosperi-
ty must depend; for profit thousands
of men plot to increase the vices Of
their fellows; for profit, last year If
teen thousand were killed and five
hundred thousand were manned in
the industrial world. In the great
mill of the industrial world are
ground up the bodies and blood.
hearts and brains, tears and groans
of the working millions, all for ten
per cent.
We have learned to pity the indl-
vidual, we must now learn to see and
have compassion upon the multi
tude."
Simple song services again next
Sunday at p. m. Mrs. Leigh Chris
tian will sing, also male quartet
The subject of Rev Hollands ad-
dress will be The Sign Of the Rcd

Riverside Farmers Club.

The February meeting of the River
side club was held at the hospitable
home of D. W. Buckley and family,
together with number of guests from
the city and other clubs.
The various subjects for discussion
were all responded to extemporaneously.
HAS the agricultural college drifted
from its original intended purpose?"
F. Welch thinks it has in way.
Thinks in general way it attempts
to cover too many branches. He spoke
of the large majority that left the farm
and never returned A. B Cook says
not all who go to the M. A. @ leave
the farm for good. He cited number
of our neighbors who were college
graduates The general opinion seem
ed to be that they usually come back
to the farm if they have one of their
own, and if they don't, their ambition
is to save enough money to buy and
equip one.
Clayton Cook thinks the Nj. A. G.
made mistake in dupl eating some Of
the courses of the u. of NJ. but thinks
having the two institutions separate
is better all around
The Travelling Library" Mrs. F.
W. Smith says this is a nice line Of
books, especially for the young people,
and urged club members to improve
this opportunity of reading them.
Are our public schools conducted
in way to bring best results2" Rev.
York thinks that in recent years the
social life runs riot too much. Thinks
clubs and frats have place in college
life. but not in our high school. Pupils
should devote time to study rather
than social life, also thinks athletics
are given most too big place. The
gymnasium is a good thing, but didn't
like their haying 80 many games with
outside schools. All these things tend
to divert from studies. Thinks if ag-
riculture was taught would be a good
thing
(which is more profitable, a 4year.
old Percheron colt at 5000. or Hol
stein cow2' Ira Snyder thinks if he
was raising either, he would take the
Holstein cow, because he could dispose
of her any time he offered her for sale
and get his price.
"Do you regard the gasoline fat.iron
as practical tool2" Mrs q. W. Det-
wiler says yes, if it is kept clean, and
good gasoline used, it does very good
work. Mrs. A. B. Cook also spoke
well of 1t.
Mrs Fl. W. Woodworth gave select
reading on Meeting Trouble Half
Way"
Excellent vocal music was furnished
by the Misses Margaret and Ruth Bow
den, Mr. E. Bailey and Rev. and Mrs.
York, which added much to the pro-
gram, and was highly enjoyed by all.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. a. Miller were given
place on roll, made vacant by resigna.
tion of Mr.. and Mrs Chas. Chandler.

tion with the idea of bringing together
as many Of the men of the city as can
be accommodated. At present the
Tuesday luncheons call ont an attend
snce varying from 10 to As members,
many not being able to attend at the
MONDAY hour. With a banquet each
quarter it is thought large per cent of
the members will be present, when a
general discussion of affairs relating to
the welfare of the community can be
discussed and talks given by speakers
from outside the city which will awaken
deeper interest in the work the asso-
citation is striving to do.
The first banquet is to be given at the
Elk's Temple on Thursday evening
next. The expense will be so cents a
plate and the members are invited to be
present and to bring some one not now
a member with them. The supper is to
be served at $50. 1t is not known as
yet who the speakers from outside the
CITY will be.

Full Quart Measures.

The berry piokers association has
conferred with the Improvement asso-
citation through the retail grocers lrela-
tive to the size of berry boxes to be used
hereafter and as the result of an inves-
tigation by Secretary Seegmiller, it has
been decided to use only full quart-size
boxes. The grocerymen felt that pat.
rons are better satisfied with a full
quart even If the price is little more.
