ENDORSE APPROPRIATION.
Three Oranges in Joint Meeting Vote
sol,dly for Use Of Sc, 500
of County Money.

At joint meeting of Owosso, Lalngs-
gurg and Bennington oranges, Wednes-
day, a resolution was adopted fayoring
the appropriation of sS. 500 by Shiawas-
see county for the erection of a county
auditorium and armory in Owosso. But
little opposition was shown by any, and
this only where the matter was. not
fully understood.
About 100 members attended the
meeting held in Bennington, Wednes-
day, an address by John Ketchum, mas.
ter of the state grange, on Farm
Economies, being strong and practical.
He advised small acreage farms with
more labor to get the full amount pos
sible from the land. He also advised
that the county stay in the dry column.
Clayton Cook urged the members to
assist in the local option campaign. and
prevent Shiawassee county from be-
coming a dumping ground for all sur
rounding territory drunks, especially
Ingham county, which he says will re-
turn to the dry side.

Annex to County House.

The Board of Supervisors has pro-
vided for vote by the people of the
county April on the proposition to
build an annex 35 feet square to the
county house. $4,000 is needed for the
purpose. The state board of corrections
and charities has repeatedly asked that
proper provision be made to separate
persons suffering from cancer, scarlet
fever, diabetes, syphilis, etc, from
other inmates, deeming it absolutely
necessary and is now demanding such
provision and that sewerage and refuse
disposal be provided. Male and female
patients cannot be separated under the
bad conditions now existing and the
voters should thoroughly consider the
need before passing on the question.
The superintende9ts of the poor have
prepared short statement which is
given below in regard to this matter:
Owing to the fact that there seems
to exist slight misunderstanding in
regard to the character of the building
for which we are asking an aporopria.
tion to be voted at the April election.
we take the liberty of correcting any
enormously formed ideas, by a simple
statement of facts
The building in question, is not to be
a county hospital but simply an annex
or sick ward at the county poor farm
A place in which necessary care and
attention can be given such cases as
cannot be admitted to the main build
ing. The old building now in use fol
this purpose is entirely inadequate and
in fact unfit for occupancy for any pur
pose. After an inspection of the premis
ca by the board of supervisors last
October the resolution to submit to the
voters of Shiawasse county the pro
position to raise So. 900 for hospital pur.
poses, at the county farm was unani
mously carried. We have at present
no conveniences for isolating or caring
for offensive or contagious cases. Tht
State Board of Charities and Correction!
and also the State Board of Health
have urgently requested, in fact de
manded, that immediate steps be takeI
to remedy existing conditions.
We are aware Of the fact that th'
matter of the care and management o.
the unfortunate inmates of our count,
infrmaries is one which is but indif
ferently considered or understood. by {
majority of the people and we invite
every one who has any doubt as to tn,
necessity for the heimprovement for which
we ask them to vote, to make persona
investigation, that they may be con
vinced that our need is urgent.

Senior Hop.

The annual senior hop of the Owosso
high school held at the Elks' temple,
Friday. was attended by over sixty
couples, and was an extremely pleasant
and pretty affair. The dance rooms
were beautifully decorated in white
crepe to represent a spiders web, a
large black spider occupying the center
space with butterflies just out of his
reach. French baskets filled with ferns
and carnations, and a profusion of
wisteria blossoms of many colors used
as drapery, added to the effect. Sat
terlee's nine piece orchestra furnished
music until o'clock. The grand march
was led by Arthur Hammond and Miss

lonla Republican Club Banquet.

The banquet of the IoLia County Re
publican Club on Friday evening was
successful as usual despite the absence
of one or two speakers. Congressman
Cole of Ohio. urged upon the Republi
cans Of Michigan the Importance of
getting the party together and being
we'll prepared for the battle of the com
ing fall, told of the recent harmony
who voted the Progressive ticket IN '12
took part, and of the good sure to result
from the gathering. He suggested a
similar gathering for Michigan. Con.
gresham Fordney was given warm
welcome by the Republicans of Ionia
county, now part IF the Sth district
and his talk made hit with all who
heard him. In telling "Why l am a
Republican" he said in part:
AS an American, l believe in the
kind of protection that protects the
wage earners, farmers and industries of
this country, and as the Republican
party advocates protection, am, of
necessity, a Republican-not stand
pat Republican, as my opponents would
have you think, but an ordinary Re.
publican who stands by Pat and his
fellow workers who comprise that vast
army of American workers, who earn
their living by the sweat of their brow
and who have been so we'll employed,
until recently, at good wages.
And am inclined to think that pro-
lection means progress. for the policy
that inures to the benefit of this coun.
try and thereby keeps her wheels hum
ming, is the one that spells opportunity
and where opportunity exists progress
is always her side partner.
To me it does not seem progressive to
promote and foster foreign competition
by inviting goods manufactured abroad
into this, the best market on earth,
especially on dead level basis. Our
people pay the running expenses of this
Government,so so why let any icon
tributing outsider undersell them. MOI
does it seem right to eat Chinese eggs
while the ever faithful American her
is on the job at the old stand.
New Zealand butter may be all right
but you automatically slap every Amer
lean housewife in the face when you
eat it.
If you use Australian wool you lend
your aid to fleece the American farmer
Argentine beef may be germ proof
but you are robbing your own roost il
you buy it while there are steers graz
ing on American farms.
| tell you gentlemen, this recent Un
derwood Democratic enactment il
wrong, and time will demonstrate it
There is a delightful theory, but i
never has, and never will work out il
actual practice. Protection is the par
amount issue; all others are of minor
importance, for if our industrial system
is seriously crippled, by an influx o
foreign commodities, nothing will be il
immediate need of legislation, for on ,
the bankruptcy courts and soup house
will be active
