vention.
Monday was given co receiving re
ports of county officers and communica-
tions from various organizations and
officials.
The war department requested
through Dom A Meeker, Shiawassee
county agricultural expert, the address
of men who have lost limb or other
wise physically handicapped, who are
making success of farming. The
use of these names and the success If
these men will be to encourage men in
the war hospitals ano in trenches.
The matter of seed corn for Shiawas-
see county was discussed by the board
and 1t was estimated that of the $4,000
crates necessary for planting for a full
crop in the county there are but 1000
crates of good seed in the county, and
it would be difficult matter to get the
balance Agent Meeker has secured an
option on one Thousand crates and a
committee was appointed Of Supvs
Clark, Dewey and Harryman to arrange
for the borrowing of money by the
supervisors personally to purchase this
corn and let the farmers have it at cost
am continue IL possible to purchase lots
OF good corn until spring.
A petition was circulated and unani.
mously signed by the supervisors ask
ing the legislature to place partr.dges
on the protected list of wild game for q
number of years or restrict the killing

All this lack of comprehension of
the need of economy and of the i'm

upon the prospect for early and effec-
tive participation in the war by the
nation upon which the final burden

Kings Daughters Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the Owosso
circle of the Kings Daughters and
Sons was held at the home of Mrs.
c. P. Boyles, Friday, January A.
The annual reports given by the
several departments show that more
work than ever before has been ac-
complished by the Kings Daughters
this year.
The relief committee has made, dur
ing the year 1917, 715 calls, 201 Of
these on the sick, have given out 262
articles of new clothing and 1914 ar
ticles of second hand clothing, 49
pair of new shoes and 80 second hand
pair; have hired nurse on different
occasion, amounting to nine weeks,
besides helping in many ways on num-
erous other occasions.
At the Dorcas Home, AZ children
have been cared for during the year,
80 committed by parents and II by
the probate court.
A great deal of credit is due Mrs.
c. H. Pattee and her committee for
the manner in which they conducted
the sale of the Christmas seals. Two
hundred and thirty-four dollars was.
realized from the sale this year One
hundred and fifty-six dollars of this
amount remains in the treasury, while
the remainder goes to the state work.
AS this is the only means for carry
ing on the tubercular work the circle
is indeed very grateful to Mrs. Pat
tee.
All told, the circle has received and
6sbursed $5,114.16, all of which has
been spent, either for the support Of
the Dorcas Home or the relief of the
needy. Were it not for the genero-
sity of the people of Owosso and Shia-
wassee county the circle could not ac-
complish this work. So it takes this
opportunity to most heartily thank
those who have assisted in so many
ways. The circle is especially CRATE
full to the church organizations, lodges
and individuals who helped to make
Christmas happy time for the chill
dren of the Dorcas Home.
The newly elected officers for the
ensuing year are: President, Mrs. E.
F. Kohler; first vice president, Mrs.
H. E. Payne; second vice president,

SUPERVISORS VOTE TO
SUBMIT PAYMENT OF
COUNTY DEBT TO PEOPLE
Citizens Savings Bank Offers to
Accept Amount Loaned to
County Without Interest.

The Board of Supervisors voted
Thursday to submit the question of the
repayment to the Citizens Savings Bank
of Owcsso of s20. 1000 borrowed from 1t
in 1905, to vote of the people on Mon.
day, April first. The action was taken
at the request of the bank and of hun
dreds Of citizens in all parts of the
county who believe the stockholders of
the bank should receive return of the
amount loaned to the county in good
faith and used to pay its honest obliga-
tions. A large percentage Iof the peo-
pie Of the county have always been in
favor of repaying this loan, and as the
last Of the court house bonds are to be
paid this year, the payment next year
and in 1870 of one half each year OF the
amount due the bank will not cause a
hardship in the matter of taxes, it is
thought to be proper time to vote the
amounts.
The proposition will be submitted to
bond to pay 500 in May. 1919. and
$40, 900 in May, 1920, with no interest
on the bonds or on the original loan.
BY an act of the Legislature the tech
nicalities which made the repayment
directly of the notes issued illegal may
be done away with by a vote of the
people to pay the amounts.
The bank has cancelled the obligation
80 far as it's being held as part of the
bank assets, and the stockholders have
accepted smaller dividends than could
have been paid in order to do 30, and
the county is not held as debtor by
the bank, but the stockholders feel the
m oral obligation still rests on the peo-
pie and that they will gladly pay it
under the legal authority given by the
Legislature.
The board on Wednesday renewed
it's contract with DIR. F. A. Watts to
act as physician to the INDECENT sick of
Owosso for another year at salary of
$1,000.
The many changes in the election
laws by the last legislature were ex-
planned to the board Wednesday by
assistant prosecuting attorney Walter
Bush.
The county treasurer was authorized
by the board Wednesday to place part
of the county's funds in the banks at
Bancroft and Laingsburg.

East Lansing, Mich, Jan. 9.-Fore-
sighted farmers who. have woodlots
capable of supplying cordwood should
take time by the forelock, in the
opinion of A. X. Chittenden, head of
department of forestry at M. A. c.,
and make ready now to meet 1875
fuel demands.
"The unusually heavy drain this
season upon the available supply of
dry cordwood means that much Of this
will be cleaned up this winter" says
Professor Chittenden, "and if events
follow their wonted course, this will
bring about a shortage in 1919. Men
who have woodlots from which cord
wood can be obtained, and who have
as well the labor necessary for cutting
it, would do well to get out as large a
supply as possible now. This green
wood, if dried during the coming year,
will stand the state in good stead in
1919" ...

the amount over to Don A. Meeker,
county agricultural agent, who will
secure tested seed corn and furnish 1t
to the farmers of the county at cost.
As fast as corn is received and sold
IN ore will be secured. The great peces-

the supervisors and rs no legal way

Johnny Jones Shows
 Chartered at the State
 Fairgrounds for Winter

The famous Johnny Jones shows, which arrived at the fairgrounds sev- eral days ago. are getting everything in readiness for the winter This ac- complshed. the performers of the shows will disperse, going to their respective homes in various parts of the country to spend their vacation.
 Enough of the employees will remain here to care for the animals and to make necessary repairs on the show equipment. It is understood that the show animal trainer will train a lion here this winter.
 MT. Jones says that the three reasons why Birmingham was selected for win- ter quarters instead of Orlando, Fla, were the shows have wintered for the past 15 years, and that they have more room at the fairgrounds than they had at Orlando, and because material can be secured here much more easily, and Birmingham is more of railroad cen. ter. thus giving the shows the oppor- tunity to go in most any direction when they get ready to start out again on their exhibition tour over the country next spring.
