Barnes Fares Well

A glimpse at the committee appoint
ments of Lieutenant Governor Dickin-
son is sufficient indication that Flint
and this district have received due rec
ognition in the upper branch of the
Legislature. Senator Barnes has Jared
exceptionally well, particularly in view
of the fact that he is first termer at
Lansing. Two important committee
chairmanships and places on six other
important committees are convincing
evidence that he has not been sighted.
The Craftsmanship of the Jackson state
prison committee is his most important
appointment, though the Craftsmanship
of the Michigan home and training
school is one not to be despised. His
to the committee on banks
and corporations and the committee on
business are surprising mas
much as these plums usually go to sea-
soned legislators of the tried and
true" variety. but in addition to these
he is placed on the labor interests COM
mittee, the printing committee, the
state public school committee and the
University of Michigan committee.
Surely this district is receiving due rec
ognition.

YOUNG HUNGARIAN
MURDERED IN FLINT
BOY OF EIGHTEEN SHOT DOWN IN
MOTHERS PRESENCE
Dispute Over House Rent Cause of
Crime. Stanislaw Ferrett, Murderer.
Still at Large

A particularly ferocious and harrow
ing crime was committed in Flint last
Saturday night when Stanley Vancow-
ski, a Hungarian, youth was shot down
in the presence of his mother and
younger brothers and sisters by Stanis-
law Ferrett, also a Hungarian and
about fifty years of age, from whom
they rented living rooms. The shoot
ing followed dispute over the rental
of the house, Ferrett becoming enraged
and firing four shots from a revolver at
the boy, two of which took effect, the
latter dying about fifteen minutes after
being taken to hospital.
The murderer at once fled and the in
dications were that he had headed
toward Saginaw where he has relatives.
Deputy Sheriff E. l.. Powers was at
once notified of the crime and joined in
the search for the murderer. In COM
pany with the Saginaw police he
watched the house of Ferrett's rela-
tives Saturday night, but as the latter
failed to appear the deputy secured the
country near here and found that Fer
rett spent Saturday night at the home
of Tony Wardusky. near Wildcat School
House, where he arrived at about one
O'Clock, Sunday morning Here he told
the family nothing about the crime but
claimed he was on his way to take
job on farm near Millington. He said
that his moustache bothered him by be-
coming filled with ice when he was
working out door, and borrowing pair
of shears he clipped it off. He left the
Wardusky home early Sunday forenoon
and the next trace Mr.. Powers got of
him was near County Line where on
Sunday afternoon he was seen by John
Courtney, Oscar Pomeroy and Mr..
Palmer, with whom he talked, none of
whom knew, at that time, of the COM
mission of the crime. This is the last
news of the whereabouts of the mur-
derer the officers have been able to Sc
cure and he is still at large. The fact
that Ferrett took to back country roads
instead of the railroad made his appre-
hension difficult, and inasmIch as he
now has several days start, he stands
considerable chance of escaping.

Bank Elects Officers

The annual meeting of the stockhold-

Tuesday afternoon, at which time di-

made either in the directors or officers,
the stockholders feeling well satisfied
with the record made in the past year.
The confidence which the bank enjoys
in the minds of the people is indicated
by the substantial increase in savings
deposits, being 10 per cent. more than
one year ago. Attention is called to
the strong condition of the bank shown

The Country Man

Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breath his native air.
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,
Whose f1ocks supply him with attire
Whose trees in summer yield him shade
In winter, fire.
Blest, who can unconcernedly find
Hours, days and years slide soft away,
In health of body,peace of mind,
Quiet by day,
Sound asleep by night; study and ease
Together MKT; sweet recreation;
And innocence which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown,
Thus, unlamented let me die,
Steal from the world, and not stone
Tell where lie.

Champion Chicken Story

From the New York Herald.
 Knowing that it requires 21 days td hatch an egg by incubator or hen heat William Rensch, a popular and progress sive plumber and steamfitter here figured that if the heat were increased 21 times an egg could be matched in one day. thu1 saving much worry and anxiety.
 From the steam-heating boiler in the cellar of his home he stretched steam pipes to an incubator in which he placed IS eggs yesterday. He kept an extra weight on the safety valve for 24 hours and this afternoon when he opened the incubator he was gratified to find chick picking through his shell.
 Rensch ran upstairs and prepared q mash of infant chicken food On his way back to the cellar he heard loud and lusty growing and soon found that the chick had grown into full and vigorous roosterhood.
 The plumber went back upstairs to obs tain more vigorous food for such bird and when he returned to the cellar ha found that the rooster had died of senil- ity. The chicks in the other eggs had died of old age before they had chance to break their shells.
 MT. Rensch, in vouching for the veraci- ty of this narrative. says that the extra heat gave the chickens too fast a start

U. s. Ideals In War

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 It has taken Europe a century and d quarter to catch up with the United States in one important feature of mak- ing war. This is the first big European conflict in which trenches cut real fig ure.
 German, French. Russian and English are now learning the lesson our daddes taught Howe at Bunker Hill. That was the first important occasion where trenches played great part in battle
 Americans have ever since then been as handy with the spade as the rifle. A hole in the ground is a far safer place for soldier when shells are flying than in a steel encased or granite fort
 Napoleon didn't use trenches, nor did Won Moltke, nor Wellington, nor Bulech- er nor Frederick. nor Braddock. but now the trench is the real defense.
 There were several other lessons in that war of '76 which some of the monarch ridden lands of Europe may learn when peace comes again.
