Tributes To Patriotism.

The soldiers who passed out of
Owosso, Saturday, for possible SER
vice on the Mexican border were paid
glowing tributes in the churches of
Owosso and Corunna, Sunday.
In paying a tribute to the boys in
khaki, Rev. B. G. Mattson Of the
Congregational church here said:
"A certain man planted vine
yard and set hedge about 1t and
built a tower and let it out to hus-
bandmen. Mark 12:1.
In the crisis of the present hour
we may we'll pause to listen when
both religious duty and national du-
ty join in reminding us that both
soldier and civilian hold common
lease of life. America is our vine
yard, planted and protected ant
prospered by the hand Of God Joined
with the hands of men. AS 1t was
the America of our fathers so is it
today our America. 1t was theirs
not to do with as they pleased but
as a lease whose terms they no5ly
honored that they might pass it on
enriched to us their successors In
the leasehold.

Chautauuua Notes.

What is the Junior Chautauquai
That is a question which is being often
asked these DAYS, not only by the young
folks but by the older folks as well.
Briefly the Junior Chautauqus is we'll
thought out effort to do for the children
through the medium of Chautauqua
of their own, what the Senior Chau-
tauqua does for the older folks. While
there is much on the Chautauqua pro.
gram which is of interest to the chill
dren, it is reasonable to believe that a
program built entirely for mature
minds cannot haye its greatest appeal
to the children. Everybody realizes,
however, that in the children of com.
munity are its future citizens, and that
If the Chautauqua is to have permanent
influence for good 1t must reach these
citizens of tomorrow. SO this year the
Chautauqua management has provided
Junior Chautauqua to be given in the
big tent each morning, when the chill
uT6u U6JWetu SlA uuu lOuIlccu yOolo
will gather for good time A com
petent Junior Leader, who has been
under instruction in special school
for Chautauqua workers, will be in
charge. These leaders are young women
especially chosen because of their inter
est in children, and their tact in hand
ling and instructing them. The pro-
gram embraces songs and stories,
games, hikes. drills, Instruction in per-
sonal hygiene, and correct habits,
nature studies, etc. and is full of var.
iety and interest The children will
effect their own organization, and elect
officers. They will be coached in the
presentation Of costume play Uncle
Sans Experiment, which will be given
on the last day of the Chautauqua, and
which will give the parents and patrons
a chance to see just what the Junior
Chautauqus has done for the children
This play is more than a mere play.
1t is full or instruction for the youth
and of interest to the older folks.

BIG CIRCUS ANN oUNCED.
Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows Are
to Exhibit Here Soon

to Exhibit Here Soon.
The billboards and dead walls about
the city are announcing in all the elo-
quence of pictorial art that the Carl
Hagenbeck. Wallace Circus is to visit
Owosso, Wednesday. July ~. Great
interest attaches to the event, particu-
larly 30 because the circus is the only
tented exhibition offering an array of
trained wild animals. The name Carl
Hsgenbeck for nearly century has
stood at the top in the annals of wild
animals. Every zoo of any Importance
in the world receives its charges from
the Carl Hagenbeck headquarters at
Hamburg, Germany, as we'll as the fact
that the menageries of all circuses are
similarly supplied.
So much interest did the Carl Hagen.
beck trained wild animals cause at the
ST. Louis Worlds Fair in 1904 that the
owners of the Great Wallace Circus
entered into negotiations with Mr..
Hagenbeck. The result was that both
great institutions were united into one
of the biggest tented exhibitions in the
world. Year after year the two shows
have gone on improving. AS fast as
rare and costly animals were captured
in the jupgles of the uncivilized world
they have been forwarded by the agents
of Carl Hsgenbeck to the great Ameri-
can show.
But the trained wild animals which
appear in an arena with the Carl Hag-
enbeck- Wallace Circus are but one fea-
ture of the big show. This years pro-
gram is one of unusual interest. An
entirely new array of European artists
have been added and are appearing for
the first time in the United States
Altogether there are more than 400
artists with the circus who appear in
the six arenas. The big show will give
an all new street parade at 10 a. m,
preceding the first exhibition. Per.
formances are given daily at and s
p. m.

Post Office Notes.

Patrons of the post Office are re-
minded of the fact that information
concerning mail matter is not given
over the telephone and are requested
not to call for the same as it is i'm.
possible for employees to answer calls
inquiring whether there Is mail or not.
Calls may come from individuals in
quiring about some other persons mail
than their own and information Sc
cured to which they have no right. To
avoid this and other abuses, the rule
forbidding the answering of telephone
inquiries of this kind will be strictly
enforced. Persons receiving their mail
by city carrier are not expected to call
at the general delivery for mail and
the same cannot be given out. Patrons
are requested to observe both rules.
The change of time on the railroads
has necessitated several changes in the
schedule time of the mails leaving the
post Office and it will be we'll to note
the time of departure of the messenger
and plan to have mail matter in the
Office several minutes earlier to make
sure of its being included in the dis
patch. The mails for the Michigan
Central leave the Office at 7:30, lilo
q. m, 5:35 and S:15 p. m. going south i;
1885 and 6:10 p. III. going north.
Much mail for points north is dis
patched on the train south at S:15
p. IN. and returned by the early train
north in the morning. Grand Trunk:
East at $40 a. m, 1895, 5:35 and 1855
p m; west at 10 a. m, $40 and 700 p.
m. Ann Arbor, south at $40 a. m.,
4:35 p. M; north at 11:l0 a. M, 700 p.
n. The train south on the Michigan
Central at S:15 p. m, and east on the
Grand Trunk at 7:55 p. IN. are both ex.
press trains with no mail clerk on and
the pouches dispatched are both locked
so that there is no opportunity to dis
patch mail at the depots. The M. G.
pouch goes direct to Jackson and mail
is re.worked there, while the pouch
going via the Grand Trunk goes to Port
huron and is re. worked for the train
going west in the morning. At present
a pouch is dispatched at S:15 p. m. for
the Ann Arbor motor going north eavly
in the morning but this may be discon-
tinued because the quantity of mail is
very light, frequently not single piece
to go.

tion by Citizens and Officials.

tion by Citizens and Officials.
County and city officials, and various
organizations and citizens generally
have taken prompt steps to see that the
families of the boys of Company H are
we'll provided for during the absence of
the wage earners in the service OF their
country. The city commission led off
with contribution of 500 to care for
immediate demands while an organiza-
tivn was being perfected to care for the
work in systematic manner and to
this fund has been added amounts sub
scribed by some of the manufacturing
concerns and their employees. At the
luncheon of the Improvement Associa-
lion Tuesday, G. ID. Bell, Mayor De-
Young and Radcliffe Romeyn were
named as committee to haye this
work IN charge; and s. s Miner, E o.
Dewey and Q. ID. Bell were appointed
to confer with the board of supervisors
and ask that action be taken assuring u
definite pledge from the county to assist
in the work. The committee called on
the board Wednesday morning and as
surance was promptly given that the
supervisors would cheerfully co operate
with local committees in looking after
the families and that county funds
would be provided to meet the de-
mands. A canvass by Messrs. Bell and
Romeyn shows more than twenty fami-
lies to be dependent at present. The
energy with which this work has been
undertaken shows the people of Owosso
and Shiawassee county to be thor.
oughly patriotic and is assurance to the
mem bers of Company II that their
families will not be neglected.

FURNISH l,065
MORE SOLDIERS

Camp Ferris, Grayling, Mich, June
29.-Michigan must furnish six more
troops of cavalry of rs men each, an
other battalion of artillery and an ad-
ditional corps of engineers to come up
to requirements demanded by the
United States war department, it was
announced at the first conference here
of the state military board this after
noon. This entails the enlistment of
1,065 more men.
Each of the military units must be
permanent and not tp exist only during
the Mexican crisis, 1t was announced.
The organizations are demanded for
service in the present emergency. They
will have the same status as other
units of the national guards, and must
have their own armories.
There are three batteries of III men
each in a battalion of artillery A
corps of engineers is composed of IT'S
men.
The only steps already taken to fill
the new requirements is the organi-
zation of battery G, Detroit, which is
expected to arrive here this week.
The board also made provision to
maintain the armories during the alb.
sence Of the guardsmen. To do this
the formation of 'civilian military or.
ganizations was urged. 1t was decided
to encourage this phase of prepared
Less both financially and morally.

prosecuting attorney at Owosso, offer.
ing to organize another company at

Pulver said he would undertake the
task himself
With the exception of the cannon at
morning and night, not q single gun
has been fired In camp since the mob.

Major Phillips, in charge of small
arms practice of the brigade, declai ed
tonight it was probable that the Thirty
first regiment and perhaps the other
two, would receive no target prscti Q
until they got to the border.
"The raw recruits" he said. "are
not In shape for this yet, while the
older members of the guard are not in
any particular need of it. Last year
the members were better msrksmen
than at any other time in the history
of the guard. The indoor practice,
too, has been exceptionally good"
Announcement was made that a
portion at least Of the Michigan guard,
in all probability the Thirty. first regi.
ment, would leave for the Mexican
border Saturday.
This is in conformority with the order
Of Commander Barry of Chicago, who
has directed all troops In the Michigan
division to move as soon as reasonably
ready"
According to officials here no portion
will be reasonably ready" before that
time. Herculean efforts are being
made by examining officers to get the
men ready by that time.
