THE CHEMICAL EXPOSITION
To Be Held in the Grand Central Pal
ace, New York, the Week of
September %

Thousands of chemists from all
parts of the country are planning to
come to New York city to attend the
various conventions to be held by
chemical and technical organizations
in Grand Central Palace during the
week of September %. Coincident
with these meetings will be held the
fourth national exposition of chem
ical industries, which promises to be
the largest and most complete expo
sition of these industries ever held
In order to show the strides made by
the chemists Of America it will be
necessary to use four favors Of the
Palace.
While the exposition will bring man
ufacturers of machinery, equipment,
products and supplies together with
men who are using them, its chief eff
feet will be to show the people of the
country that the chemists of America
have made rapid advances the past
year, greater than ever before in this
country's history.

The purchase of the New Haven
Coal mines at Six Mile creek by w. A.
Knapp, of Bay City and N. A. Cobb,
of Battle Creek, was announced at a
meeting of the Improvement associa-
ton Tuesday at which the two new
owners were present. The mines
have been operated for several years
by the Superior Coal Co., consisting
of j. E. and w. A. Evans.
The new owners of the mine have
already ordered new machinery for
the mines that will increase the out
put greatly. All Of the output of the
mine will come to Owosso and none
will be shipped out of Owosso until
after this city's needs have been taken
care of. This is in conformity with
the desire of the state fuel admins
traitor, who said sometime ago that if
Owosso did. not make the best of the
mines at her door, she could expect
little help from the fuel administra-
ton. For this reason the desirability
of increasing the output of the New
Haven mines to the limit is apparent.
An exhaustive survey of the mines
was made last winter by the state
geologist at the time the state con-
sidered financing their development
He reported that there was sufficient
coal in the mines to yield 400 tons
day for 20 years and estimated that
the mine was worth from 100000 to
81 100000 if properly developed.
The new company expects within 60
or 80 days to be producing 100 tons of
coal per day. In fact under an
agreement with the state railroad
commission, reached last winter,
whereby the Ann Arbor railroad was
ordered to leave it's spur track to the
mines, down, it was stipulated that
100 tons per day must be produced
at the mines by April 1, 1919. Should
this output not be obtained, the rail
road company would be given permits
sion to take up the track.
However the new owners plan to
reach an output much in excess Of this
amount before another year is over.
Mr.. Knapp is practical mining man,
while Mr.. Cobb is an attorney. Mr..
Knapp operates the mine at Albion
and for a number of years was with
the Robert Gage Coal Co., of Saginaw,
He and Mr.. Cobb attended today's
meeting of the Improvement associa-
ton and told of their plans.
A committee of the association con-
sisting of H. B. Sturtevant, w. H.
Van Size, C. E. Rigley, E. w. Brown
and B. E. Smith was appointed by
President Dewey to investigate the
new ownership and plan for any fl
nancial assistance needed.

Tractor4 Feature at tho County alt
Several makers of farm tractors have
arranged to show and demonstrate their
product at the Shiawassee County Fair.
The Republic Motor Truck Co. of Alma,
will show both trucks and tractors
while the local dealers will be out with
strong lines of farm machinery in gen.
eral. Dealers realize that MP to- date
machinery and labor saving devices are
big helps in increasing production at
this time of labor shortage and when
the world sorely needs big harvests
we'll saved. 49,
Supt. F. M Groves machinery row
will have many features this year that
will be educational, and a visit to this
department will be time we'll spent.

CAN USE BARLEY FOR FEED

BARLEY can be ground for feed.
There are no restrictions whatever on
this grain" said Food Administrator
G. A. Prescott today. "There have
been all kinds of rumors about the
state on this matter" added Prescott,
"and wish the official status of this
grain could be given wide publicity.
We have had so many queries on this
subject l am sure the attitude Of the
administration is not correctly under
stood. Barley can be ground for
feed" concluded the food head.

EARTHEN AMMUNITION MADE
FOR TRAINING PURPOSES

Terra-cotta shells, aerial bombs
and hand grenades are being manu-
featured in large quantities for use in
training our artillerymen, airmen, and
grenadiers, according to the Septem-
Der Popular Mechanics Magazine. APP
parently there are several advantages
to be derived through the adoption of
the plan. Terra-cotta ammunition is
cheap and quickly manufactured. Its
use conserves steel to an important
degree. Lastly, it is less dangerous
and in some respects perhaps more
satisfactory for target practice than
standard ammunition. At least so far
as the shells and bombs are concern
ed, the ammunition is nonexplosive.

IF YOU WANT TO SHARE
THE VICTORY OVER THERE

Keep on following the program OF
the Food Administration, whatever il
may be.
Go lightly on sugar, limiting your
consumption to two pounds per month
for every member of the family.
Use plenty of fresh vegetables and
spare the other foods for shipment
overseas.
Do not let up on the saving of
wheat. Use the substitutes. Re-
member we must build up big wheat
reserve out of the new harvest in ad-
dition to taking care of our boys at
the front and the Allies.
Can all you can, using as little SUI
gar as possible.
Allow nothing to go to waste.
Back up the boys at the front.
