STREET CAR FARES RAISED

The Owosso City Commission voted
Monday to permit the Michigan Rail-
ways Co. to increase the fare be-
tween Owosso and Corunna to 10
cents one way and Is cents round
trip, with 5 cent fare inside the city
limits. The permit is not permanent
and may be changed by resolution and
is not effective until ratified lby Cor
unna and Caledonia township officials.
The company made showing claim
ing it cost 6.85 cents to carry every
passenger that boarded the cars. Gen.
eral Manager Collins says the govern
ment operation has ruined its express
business, the receipts dropping from
$25, 900 to $4,000 yearly.
Mayor Wright voted against the
raise in price on the ground that a
reduced fare should be paid by those
coming from just outside the city lin
its or for laborers coming to the NAL
leables factory.

CULLING OF FLOCKS
SHOWS GOOD PROFITS

Evidence in dollars and cents form
of the wisdom of culling flocks of
poultry-or in other words removing
Stacker" hens--is being submitted to
Michigan's farmers and poultrymen
by the department of poultry husban-
dry of M. A. C. A respectable mar
gin of profit is reported by the de-
partment from the farms in Wayne,
Washtenaw, Oakland, Livingston, Van
Buren, Kalamazoo, Clinton and Shia-
wassee counties, where demonstrations
were conducted in cooperation with
farmers and county agricultural
agents.
The total number of hens participat-
ing in the demonstrations, according
to the department, was 12,441. The
total per dozen was 47.6 cents; the
total returns received from the sale
of eggs was $5,482.S5; the cost of
feed was s2,876.73, giving a return
over the cost of the feed Of $2,606.12.
The last named figure does not repre-
sent net profits, however, for the cost
Of labor and number Of other items
have not been subtracted from It.
The conducting Of demonstrations is
being continued by the college, chief
ly through e. C. Foreman, extension
specialist in poultry.

NOW, ALL TOGETHER

Reconstruction problems are not
alone for the solution of men at
Washington, or in New York, or in
Europe. Every person in the big city
or the remote hamlet, can do his share.
The returned soldiers will go back to
their homes on the plains, and in the
mountains, as well as to homes in the
cities. Most of these men will find
occupations for themselves. In fact,
after the strenuous life they have led,
it is safe guess that the stay-at-
homes will have busy time meeting
the competition of the men who have
been "over there" But there will be
cases of unfortunates who have been
crippled, or who have never been
trained for anything but the most
common labor. Some of these will
need help--not charity, nor support,
but friendly aid in getting started
again. 1t will be comparatively easy
to help these men along, but everyone
must make it his business to add his

"MADE IN U. 8. A."

It is suggested that there is no need
of using a "Made-in-America" label
on American goods to distinguish
them from articles made in Germany.
But that is not the only purpose of
the proposed brand. What we want
is the use of goods made here as
against goods made in any other land,
either enemy or ally, America should
produce or manufacture every COM
modify needed for home use, SO far as
practicable. When we must buy
bread, we should buy from those with
whom we have been associated in the
war for preservation of international
rights. Only as last resort should
be buy from the Hun. 1t is strange
type of American who will buy goods
made by men or women VINO spat in
the faces of American soldiers as they
were conducted as prisoners Of war
through German territory. But re-
gardless of that, America should pro-

cans can be proud, and, in order to
