NURSERY STOCK
At Wholesale Prices.-Civic Commit
tee Announces Second Sale.

The Civic Committee of the Owos-
SO Improvement Association has again
arranged with the Michigan Nursery
Co. to supply trees, shrubs, bulbs,
vines, ETC., to as many residents Of the
county as may wish to order the same
at wholesale prices. A glance at the
list below, which is but a small selec-
ton of the stock carried by the Com
pany, will quickly convince any one
that the prices are exceedingly low
and that most excellent opportunity
is afforded all who may wish to
purchase nursery stock of any kind
In addition to the list as given, the
Committee has prices on fruit trees,
grape vines, small fruits, rhubarb,
asparagus roots, etc, and will be
pleased to accommodate the public by
taking orders for the same, although
the work may not be strictly in the
line of civic Improvement.
The Committee will receive orders
any time up to April 18 and the same
may be left with E. o. Dewey, o. l..
Davis or l.. l.. Conn. To avoid the
work of making collections, it is ex-
pected that payment will be made at
the time orders are placed.
This work is in no way money
making enterprise, as the prices are
made to cover cost at the nursery,
freight, drayage, delivery and other
incidental expenses incurred. In ad-
dition to the prices given, five per
cent is added to each order to pay
cost of packing and billing each order
| separately.

No amount of Misrepresentation by the

Cling with chemicals, or pretended analysis,
or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that

has been found by the Off

highest leavening efficiency,
free from alum, and of absolute
purity and WhOleSOmeness.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable

As these will shave the backing of the limited States, it Is anticipated they will be accept ed without question.
 Secretary Bryan announced that he
 was sending instructions to all Unit ed States diplomatic and consular off, cers to take care of Americans
 We have no available funds, but we have instructed the Consuls to as- sist Americans, and will send them moneys which may be deposited in the en on the suggestion for bringing Americans back to this country The various suggestions that naval and army transports or cruisers be leused to obring~Americans home or that ships be chartered for this purpose have assy yet received but. tentative con lsideration.

 PEACE CONFERENCE TO HALT ssWORST WAR EVER,

 Boston, Aug. 3-GeneraI Nelson A : Miles, former commander of the United States army, declares:
 esI am afraid one of the most terri bie wars in the history of the world is at hand. Some of the countries of Europe are war mad. It will take a big war. a tremendous sacrifice of lives and great loss of money to open their eyes to their fo11oy.
 sLet representatives of every nation form a peace congress. Give that congress full power in all disputes and have it definitely understood that ev- cry nation will abide by its decis- ion.
 .sIf one nation .disobeys the dictates of the peace congress, give that con gress power to order the armies and navfes of all other nations to force the wayward nation into submission. sBut it will take a, great war on the Continent before some European coun- tries will see the lasting benefit of such a plan.'
