FREE FROM DISEASE.
Most Of the Tuber Crop May Be
Stored Without Fear of
Spoilage.

Because of the high price of pota-
toes last year, many householders are
putting in a supply for the winter
this year. Some, however, hesitate in
the fear that the tubers will spoil.
"Good sound potatoes, stored under
the proper conditions Of heat and
moisture will keep sound and firm un-
til spring." the plant. disease spec
ialists at the Michigan Agricultural
college advise.
"Late blight, which is the common
cause of rotting in the cellars, is en-
tirely absent in Michigan this year,
because of the dry weather condi-
tions during the first half of the
growing season. Fortunately, pota-
toes can be stored this season with
fear Of rotting from this disease
In some of the northern regions Black
Leg is abundant. This is bacterial
disease and affected tubers rot at the
stem ends. Tubers showing Black
Leg should be used at once since
there will be considerable loss in
storage. There are also fungi always
presentaon potatoes, which will cause
rotting if the storage conditions are
not good, or if the potatoes are
wounded or bruised. Hot humid con-
ditions will hasten the development
of these molds, while dry, cool, well
ventilated locations are safe. Expert
ments have shown that high tenn
perature 600 degrees Fahrenheit) in
the storage cellar or car may lead to
a breaking down of the tuber, which
manifests itself by blackening of the
heart.
"Only good, sound, we'll ripened
potatoes should be put into the pit
or warehouse. The pits must be made
with care in order that the potatoes
may be kept cool and well ventilated.
The usual waste that comes from rot
ting in storage may be prevented if
a little care is exercised"

In drawing the men for service

By the time the selection begins, it
is emphasized, all will have had a
chance for appeal to their district

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

The Board of Supervisors voted $500

ing done and Mrs. C. o. Loring had
told of the actual work performed.
The board unanimously elected Will
liam H. Kline, of Bennington as road
commissioner to make the number of
commissioners three as required by the

ishment of the Office by the board of

reelected janitor of the court house
by the board of supervisors Tuesday
at a salary of $1,000 year, and DR..
w. T. Parker was re-appointed Jail
physician at salary of SIS year.

interesting, impressive and instructive
address by Hon. Joseph W. Fordney Of

tions. Mr.. Fordney was urged to

ODD FELLOW LODGES CONSOLIDATED

The two Owosso Odd Fellow lodges,
Colfax No. 436 and Owosso No. SO,
were formally consolidated with con-
siderable ceremony Monday evening.
Consolidated lodges will be known as
Owosso lodge No. 88, and the meetings
will be held in the hall of No. 88, on
East Main street.
The ceremonies of the evening were
participated in by several grand lodge
officers, and were witnessed by about
400 Odd Fellows and Rebekahs.
The grand lodge officers who were
here were: Grand Master H. j. Nagel,
of Manistique; Past Grand Master
Miles F. Gray, of Lansing, and Grand;
Secretary Frank Rogers, of Lansing.
Mr., Gray was in charge of the ceres
monies. The degree team of st. Johns
lodge conferred the first degree on a
class of IL candidates in a manner that
evoked enthusiastic praise, and sus-
tanned the teams statewide reputation
The team also put on a drill that/w
very much appreciated. The work was
done at Colfax temple.
Addresses were made during the
evening by Past Grand Master Gray,
Grand Secretary Rogers, Grand Mas
ter Nagel, Rev. H. A. Waite and DR..
S. S. Snyder, who at SO, is the old
est Odd Fellow in the state. He has
been a member of the ledge for 10
years. The addresses followed deli
cious oyster supper served by the
Rebekahs. erew
The original Owosso lodge Mo- 88
was instituted in 1865 and grew rap
idly. In 1898 differences arose among
the members that resulted year lat
er, in some of them withdrawing from
the lodge and instituting Colfax lodge
No. 436. Both lodges thrived until
at the time of their consolidation they
were two of the largest fraternal or
ganizations in the city, and possesser
of much property. There are no char
ter members of No. 88, still belonging
to the lodge, although H. H. Pulyer,
now member of the Laingsburg
lodge, was charter member. H. II.
Meadows, of Everett, Washington,
and a member of that lodge, was
charter member of No. 436, and fine
letter from him was read during the
meeting last night. He congratulated
the lodge on the step they had taken.
o. L. Sprague of this city and Charles
Munson of Portland, are also charter
members of No. 436.
The officers of the new lodge are
as follows:
Noble Grand-Lloyd Webb.
Vice Grandfather Sprinkle.
Recording Secretary-Guy Elsea.
Financial Secretary-Louis O'Berry
Treasurer-David. Richards.

Baptist church Sunday evening, Oct.
2Sth, was accepted. All Odd Fellows
are requested to meet at No. SS hall
at $3.50 on that night.
Nearly all of the Odd Fellow lodges
of the county were represented at the

look for the new lodge is particularly
bright. :.

COOPERATIVE ELEVATOR.
Preliminary Meeting Held at New
Lothrop on Saturday Evening.

A meeting to interest the farmers
and others of Hazelton township in
the project Of forming cooperative
elevator company, to be operated at
Brent Greek, was held at the hall of
Conefer & Zintel, at New Lothrop,
on Saturday evening, and the first
steps were taken in the project, which
has every appearance of being sue
cessful.
George Miller, of Chesaning, the
president of the cooperative concern
at that place, was pdesent, and talked
on the subject. He spoke in glowing
terms of the success Of the business
at that place, and urged the farmers
to subscribe for the elevator at Brent
Creek. 1t is hoped to secure sub
scriptions to the amount of nearly
$4,000, and it is believed there will
be no difficulty in securing pledges
for this amount. 81 800 was sub
scribed Saturday evening.
This is move in the right direc-
ton, and the News hopes that the
farmers will quickly subscribe the
amount necessary to assure the sue
cess of the project. Wherever they
have been established, the co-opera-
tive elevators are proving splendid in
vestments and Brent Creek is a fine
location for the business.
