Why Not In Owosso Also2

The physicians and druggists of Sag.
law county are to make united
Q fort to clean up and rid the commun.
ity of the vice districts, to report to the
proper authorities all cases of veneral
diseases and to stop the sale of reme-
d les for these diseases. This action is
taken as war precautionary measure
In view of statements made by promi-
nent physicians that 400 out of every
1000 men sent to the training camps
have found to be infected, this action
comes none too soon. More than q
quarter of million British soldiers
trained and equipped at great expense
were found to be incapacitated by social
diseases, q number of men sufficiently
large to have prevented the recent Ital-
ian and Russian disasters.
Owosso may well move in the same
direction by arresting and giving some
of local undesirables Jail sentence.
Ordering them out Of the city Is not
sufficient as it allows them to remove
to other localities to continue the work
of contamination.

DAIRYMEN MEET

The annual meeting of the Shiawas-
see County Dairymen's Association
was held in the armoryeSaturday af-
ternoon with a good attendance. Sub
jects of interest to dairymen were disc
cussed and from the remarks it was
easy to understand the why the price
of milk is certain to be higher than
ever in the next few months; the high
cost of grain and the great decrease
in the number of cows kept being the
controlling factors. r. O. Reed of
Howell, secretary of the State asso-
citation, gave a practical address
dwelling particularly upon the benefits
to be derived from cooperation in the
purchase of herd sires by community
and in marketing dairy produce. The
officers elected for the ensuing year
are: j. w. Hurst, Owosso, president;
John Ackroyd, Owosso, vice presi-
dent; Elmer Black, Owosso, secretary
and treasurer. Henry Hinspeter was
selected as chairman Of the commit
tee on purchases; J. Fred Smith Of
Byron, on herd improvement; c. j..
Thomas, marketing.
The Association voted to continue
selling milk for the remainder Of this
month to buyers in Detroit, after
which the plant of the Shiawassee
County Milk Producers Association
in Owosso will probably be ready to
begin business.
