THE OWOSSO TINES
OWOSSO, MICH, MAY 2S. 1915.
Lennon Affairs in Court.

Judge 8. 8. Miner has under advise.
ment a motion of Attorney John T..
McCurdy, counsel for the directors of
the Commercial bank Of Lennon, to
have suit brought in chancery by
James Crosby and James Conlon, of
Lennon, and Bernard Kingsbury Of
Venice township, dismissed.
After the plaintiffs had put in their
proofs Saturday, the defendants rested
the case without submitting evidence
Attorney McCurdy's motion was based
on the contention that the plaintiffs
had not made out case sufficient to
entitle them to relief in a court of
equity.
The plaintiffs are former stockholders
in the Lennon bank and the defendants
are Charles E. Sutton, J. B. Moore, Fl.
A. Collins, George Lawcock, William
Woolley, George Haffner and Ernest
Dieck. The suit was brought to com
pei the fulfillment of contract eutered
into when the plaintiffs withdrew from
the bank in 1918.
The plaintiffs claim that they were
given bond by the defendants binding
the latter to bear all debts of the bank,
including notes given the Union Trust
and Savings Bank of Flint. Last Jan
uary, however, the plaintiffs allege,
they were notified that they were still
held responsible by the Flint concern
for their share of $40, 500 worth of notes
owed them by the Lennon bank. The
Flint concern declared that it bad never
had any notice of the withdrawal of
Conlon, Crosby and Kingsbury from
the bank. The defendants in the pres
ent suit are alleged to have failed TO
notify the Flint bank of the change,
and to have continued the names of the
men who withdrew, on their stationery.

Appreciated and Honored.

Among the many acts which the
Grand Army of the Republic has COM
mitted in its half century of organiza-
tion, none have been more purely in
spired by patriotism and high senti-
ment than this annual testimonial to
those who served their country in it's
time of need. The service of the men
who saved the Union was a stern and
hard one. It cost many thousands of
lives, another myriad of losses Of
limbs, and years Of severe and patri-
otic services. For the half-century
since the war closed the country has
annually testified its appreciation and
honor for the sacrifices Of patriotic
men in that struggle.

Nor tn owosso Farmers Club.

With an attendance of the greater
part of the club membership, and a
number of guests, the North Owosso
Farmers club held the May meeting
with Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Willoughby
at Five Oaks, their pleasant farm home
A new brick house has been built to
replace the one destroyed by fire some
months ago.
The meeting was opened by singing
America" followed by prayer by the
chaplain. The resignation of F. w.
Stiles was accepted with regret.
The following program was given:
At the last meeting one lady wanted to
know how to clean window panes that
had screen before them. Several
things were suggested, but had been
used without doing the work. Rev
Kunsman said he had heard that If
washed with strong vinegar that would
clean them. Mrs. Getman said she had
tried this and it seemed to be the right
thing-first wash with vinegar, let
stand, then wash with clear water and
wipe.
Which renders the greater service to
the world, the farmer or the profess
sional man. Mr.. w. Willoughby
thought the farmer did, as all people
have to be fed and the farmer is the one
who grows the supplies.
Does the housewife use as many labor
saving devices as her husband does, if
not, why2 No, they do not. Some do
not want them: others do, and have
them.
Do mothers teach their daughters
thorough housekeeping. When a girl
is attending school there is not much
time for anything else, but when moth.
er is away from home the daughter
knows more about what needs to be
done than we thought she did.
Do the experiment station bulletins
help the farmer? Yes, when he takes
tine to read them.
Under Current Events" an article
about copper was read. Among the non
precious metals copper stands second
in value. Iron, of course. is first, and
zinc, lead, tin and aluminium follow in
the order given.
The United States leads all other
countries in the production Of all these
metals except tin. For short time at
first it seemed as if copper were use
less article, which no one wanted. The
price of copper declined to very low
price. The belligents now need copper
in vast amounts. There is a heavy de.
mand for it in this country by their
extensive orders for the war material
into which it enters. Active mines in.
crease employment both directly and
indirectly and the new prosperity is
already showing itself in addition to
mine regions.
The meeting closed with rising vote
Of thanks to the host and hostess for
their hospitality. The next meeting
will be held with Mr. and Mrs. T. d.
Hurrell, June II. An excellent supper
was served and the guests departed to
their separate homes.

Railroad Should Not be Responsible.

Figures just given out in Washing
ton few days ago show that on the
entire system of the Southern rail-
road, for the fiscal year ending June
80, there were 1T tresspassers killed.
Fully one-third of these were school
boys who jumped on trains to "steaP'
ride. Others were persons who made
habit of walking on the railroad
track to and from their work, the fire.
quency of their being on the track,
causing them to grow careless and
unmin6ful of the danger. A few OF
the lat were tramps who ride on top
of cars, under cars or wherever they
can lodge.
In sucn cases the persons are in
every sense trespassers and the rail-
road should not be held accountable
when they are killed. School boys
should be taught to avoid moving trains
and to stay off the track, where there
is always more or less danger. Further
more, no person should make a habit
of walking a railroad track as they
would walk path that is. set apart for
pedestrians. The track is the property
of the railroad and the person who is
killed as a result of trequenting or
trespassing upon it should not hold the
railroad responsible. OF course, at
crossings, where the public has right
to pass. railroads should be forced to
use every reasonable precaution in or
der to prevent accident.

Have Found Subatitute.

Although it is universally conceded
that cotton is absolutely essential in
the manufacture of the best powder
for high explosives, etc., it is conceded
that wood pulp is the next best substi
tute. Since shortly after the begin
ming of the war, the Germans have
been unable to get cotton for powder
making and they have been manufac.
turing all their powder from wood pulp.
The Allies, especially Great Britain,
France and Italy, are able to get all
the cotton they want; but the Ger.
mans seem to be making about as good
use of wood pulp as the Allies are max
ing of cotton. " orkvile Enquirer.
