Save the Bread.

Charles @. Ward of the Owosso Bak
ing Co., was elected chairman OF the
organization of bakers of the state, at a
meeting held in Lansing, Monday, the
purpose of which is to stop the waste
of bread. F. J. Lawrence of Lansing,
was chosen secretary.
The bakers pledged themselves to
cancel the privilege of grocers now have
of returning unused bread. To prevent
loss to the retailers, campaign &c, edu-
cate the consumer to order his bread
day in advance, and to order no more.
than he actually needs, will be started
at once. This will enable the grocer to
determine day ahead how much bread
he needs, and will eliminate the waste
of returned bread. 1t is estimated that
at present four per cent of the bread
made in this country is wasted.

owosso- Flint Electric Ry.

The uncertainty regarding the route
to be taken for the extension of the
Michigan Railway Co. electric liue from
this city to Flint will be settled within
very few days--at least it will be
determined whether the road will touch
Corunna and Lennon, and follow the
route into Flint over which options
have been secured, or will go another
way. There yet remain 13 options
five in Shiawassee and eight in Genesee
to secure to make certain of the
construction of the line through this
territory. The people along the route
are earnest in their desire to have the
road built and are awake to the i'm.
portance. of securing the remaining
options without further delay. Much
depends upon the results of their work.

CROP SHORTAGE S.

From no less an authority than the
International Institute OF Agriculture
of Rome we learn that the wheat crop
of the eighteen principal producers Is
twenty-five per cent less than in 1915
Other crops, such as rye, barley,
oats, corn and potatoes, also fall short
of the 1915 yield. Economists esti
mate, however, that even in face OF
the shortages there is sufficient food
to carry Europe through until another
crop.
The food problem becomes one or
increasing and vital importance to all
belligerents as the war progresses.
In England steps are being taken to
control the supplies and organize
their distribution on the strict lines
followed by Germany shortly after the
war broke out.

states Germany's case as follows
