ell fire of Owosso's five groups of
Camp Fire girls. A delicious supper
was served by two members from each
group. After this the girls donned
their headbands, honor beads and
ceremonial gowns. These are all
beautifully symbolic, each symbol
standing for something attained or
something toward which that particu-
lar girl is striving.
Mrs. B. G. Mattison in her pleasing
manner presided as chief guardian
and giving the wohelo call, called each
group into the circle. Then followed.

NORTH owosso FARMERS, CLUE

There was good attendance at the
November meeting at River Bend, with
Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Stewart After on
enjoyable dinner, A. T. Stewart called
the meeting to order and asked w. s.
Carson to preside. Rev. Ostroth offered
prayer. After business session the fol-
lowing officers for the coming year were
elected: President, A. T. Stewart; vice
president, w. 8. Carson; secretary and
treasurer. w. s. Carson; chaplain, Mrs.
A. T. Stewart; director, P. G.. Will
loughby; reporter, Mrs. E o. Place.
Miss Edna Wilkie sang two songs
that were much enjoyed. Miss Elenor
Willoughby rendered two violin solos
accompanied on the piano by Mrs.
Stewart. Mrs. G. Greenwald read a
selection. Mrs Place read an article
entitled, Independence Some of us
are much more independent than
others, but none of us are really indie.
pendent, real independence is indeed
impossib ble; there are two marked
classes in the world, those who depend,
and those who are depended upon; it is
better to belong to the latter class.
Rev. Ostroth was present. He was
asked to give short talk. He said he
had enjoyed being ar the club meeting,
and that he was thankful he had lived
to see Michigan voted dry, and hoped
to live to see America voted dry, too.
Efficiency in Housework. Why is it
that some women who 1e regarded as
good housekeepers. always have time
to read or make calls, or entertain
friend, and others who have no greater
cares are busy at some routine house
hold task from morning till night; the
difference is one of efficiency. No
woman is an efficient housekeeper who
tries to do everything with her own
hands.
A vote of thanks was given to those
who SO kindly entertained us. The
meeting closed with a song, and repeat
ing the Lords prayer.

SENATORIAL ASPIfIANTS

Chase s. Osborn, form r governor
OF Michigan, in an interview given out
at the 500 yesterday, declared he
would be candidate for United
States senator in 1918. For consid-
cradle time this matter has been spec
plated upon, but Governor Osborn has
always said he had no taste for legis-
latlve functions. However, if Osborn
maks's the run, we may look for some
whlrlwind campaign, for now both
nomination and election will come at
the hands of the people rather than
through the legislature, as was the
case this year when Charles f. Town
send was the first senator in Michigan
to be both nominated and elected by
direct vote.
But Mr.. Osborn will probably not
be alone in the race. For the last two
years consistant boom has been pro-
NOTED in favor of Alton Y. Roberts,
OF Marquette. He has already lined
up some strength in the state and no
opportunity has been overlooked for
booming him by those behind his can
didacy. IF Osborn and Roberts fight
it out against each other, it will be a
case OF Greek meeting Greek. Osborn
and Roberts were once close friends
and both came from the U. p. But
they had falling out during Osborn s
administration as governor and Os-
born demanded the resignation of
Roberts as member of one of the state
boards. The feud had been on since
that date. If they go after the prize
it will be a battle. Roberts has as
much money as Osborn. He can't
make as good speech, but he makes
friends. Osborn makes friends and
has made some mighty substantial
enemies. 1t would be worth looking
at.
But it is not likely that they will be
allowed to have the game to them
selves. Judge William l.. Carpenter,
of Detroit, very nearly entered the
fight this year against Townsent, Alex
Groesbeck, recently elected attorney
general, has aspirations. The attor-
ney generalship was merely step
ping stone that will mean financial
loss to him. Chas. B. Warren, Repubh-
can national committeeman, has been
prominently mentioned as likelihood.
Congressman Patrick H. Kelley might
well consider he is entitled to pro-
motion and whole lot of friends of
Pat would be in the game to push him.
Indeed they are already pushing him.
Congressman Joe Fordney who will be
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee of the house in the next con-
gress, might certainly figure he had
right to consideration after his long
and faithful service in the house. And
then there are others who are ambi-
tiOus. Surely Mr. Osborn will not be
alone in the fight, but then he loves
a, battle anyway, and will doubtless
welcome opposition Grand Rapids
Herald.
