BREAD LINE AT BOTH ENDS OF
THE WAR

The bread line has formed again
in New York. Hundreds appear daily
at the station on the Bowery where
hot soup, coffee, and fresh bread are
furnished to the hungry. 1t is said
that approximately eighty per cent of
the men have been discharged from
plants engaged in war work for the
government, and that about ten per
cent are former soldiers and sailors.
There are two outstanding reasons
for the condition of the labor market
that now prevails. One is the ever
lasting parley at Paris between those
who wish to achieve a prompt peace
and those others who insist that their
theories For the future welfare of the
world shall take precedence over any
attempt to correct present conditions.
The effect on the United States is
that capital is timid, and investments
in great industrial extensions and new
projects are postponed, involving con-
tinued unemployment of the labor that
eventually will find a place in those
establishments. Until it is known
what the foreign demands on Amer.
lean capital will be, in the nature Of
loans to the nations of Europe and Il
! private industries in those countries
! little can be done here in the way o.
new business. The peace conference

the delegates Tuesday evening by the
April division of the church.
The morning sessions Wednesday

Washington Letter.
1T is TO SMILE

Washington, April 15.-(Special
correspondence)-In business circles
there is much amusement over the ac-
tion of the Post Office Department,
recently, in calling number of busi-
ness men into conference with view
to devising plans for the improvement
of the mail service. Complaints of
poor service have been general and
continuous during most of the six
years Mr.. Burleson has been in
charge. There was little evidence of
disposition to consult the patrons of
the mail service until decentralization
had reached the limit of endurance.
The Post Office Department blames
the Railroad Administration, and the
Railroad Administration denies the
allegation. Perhaps the Post Office
Department hopes committee of bus
mess men will decide the controversy
in it's favor.

CIRCUIT COURT

The April term of the circuit court
opened Monday, with Judge Collins
hearing motions, non-contested di-
vorce cases and arranging the calen-
dar for the term. Court was then
adjourned until after the Victory
loan campaign is completed.
The court denied motion for the
defense for new trial in the case
of Judson r. Smith against the es-
tate of the late Mrs. Caroline Bugbee,
in which in a judgment of $1,000 was
rendered about six weeks ago. He
did, however, grant the motion that
the costs be not assessed against the
estate.
Attorneys argued the motion of
the defense in the case of Downing VS..
Fisher, of Byron, an ejectment pro-
ceedings in which the plaintiff won a
verdict five years ago. The suit was
over small piece of land. Downing
and Fisher owned adjoining property
and the descriptions in their deeds
overlapped. Now Fisher, who was
elected, claims that he has found a
new deed, which shows that he is the
owner of the land.
William F. Wilson, Of Owosso, was
granted a decree of divorce from
Florence Wilson, who he charged, de-
serted him. Carl Spangleberger, a
discharged soldier, now living in
Owosso, was given decree from Ella
Spangleberger.
The criminal cases will be taken up
when court reconvenes. Louis Gold,
Manasie Ionkovich and Noise Nagu,
charged with making moonshine
whiskey, will be tried first.
Earl Manning, of Owosso, Monday
was fined the costs amounting to $25
and placed on probation for one year
by Judge Collins after he had pleaded
guilty to a charge of driving away
an automobile without the owners
consent.

ROOMS FOR RENT

1t is announced that within the next
thirty days the administration will
complete the housing projects on
which it has spent millions Of dollars
for the housing of war workers. Here
in Washington large and expensive
rooming houses were constructed for
the use of clerks brought here for
war work, but the construction was
commenced so late that the buildings
could not be made ready for occupancy
until the war was over. The work Of
construction is now nearing compile
tion and it will be interesting to OBJ
serve how long time will elapse be-
tween completion and the commence
ment of the tearing down process.
Judging by the speed achieved in the
past, the houses may be torn down by
the time they are needed for the next
war.

ASK EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE APPEAL

A motion for an extension of time
in which to take to the supreme court
on a writ OF error, the case of the
Superior Coal Co., VS.. the Ann Arbor
Railroad Co. was filed Friday by At
torneys Pardee and Day, representing
the coal company. The attorneys al
lege an error in that the court refused
to double the verdict of 5000, render
ed by the jury.
The case went to the supreme court
once, the coal company asking the
high court for a writ of mandamus to
order Judge Collins to show cause
why he should not double the verdict.
The supreme court refused to issue
the mandamus.

HOMES MUCH NEEDED

de Builders

Following the reports of commit
tee consisting of G. T. Campbell, w.
j. Blood and l.. A. Sanderhoff as to the
need of $50 or more new houses in
Owosso and that that many men wish
to build, President Robbins of the
Improvement Association at the re-
quest Of the original committee, has
appointed a Housing Committee to
form building association and create
fund from which individuals may
make loans to assist them in the
erection of homes. The committee
consists of ]. F. Fields, j. E.. Ellis,
Fred B. Woodland and C. r. Jones, the
latter representing the American NAL
leables Co. The general situation has
already been canvassed, and the work
now is to decide as to the conditions
under which the building association
is to be created and managed.

PAID FOR BY PEOPLE

The League to Enforce Peace, with
headquarters in Washington, d. c., is
sending out press material showing
that persons connected with treasury
department activities are appealing
for the league of nations. One good
starter is the announcement that Will
liam Mather Lewis, of the War Saw
ings Division has made an appeal to
every public speaker to discuss the
league of nations and that he himself
voiced the appeal direct at Atlantic
City in an address before the Liberty
loan workers of the state of New Jer-
sey. eff we are honest to our oft re-
peated assertion that this must be the
last war, we are going to see to it that
at this time there shall arise from
the struggle structure that will with
stand the storm-a just, unselfish
league of nations" So says Mr..
Mather, a paid Government employee.
Not only is his statement illogical
and ridiculous, because no man hon.
estly believes the Great War was the
last war (there are several going on
right now) but he is showing worse
than poor taste to mix into such u
controversy. Is there not some way
to compel government employees to
give their entire time to the worth of
their employer? A nice farce to have
liberty loan speakers, riding on gov
ernment transportation, paid for by
the taxpayers, ospread propaganda
not included in their duties!

THEIR GOVERNMENT BEHIND
THEM

The story that an American syndi-
cate had sold out it's large holdings
in Mexico to Japanese syndicate had
plausible sound. American invest
ors have become discouraged over the
prospect of maintaining their rights
under U. S. treaties with Mexico. A
Jap feels confident that his govern
ment will protect him. Although the
story of the sale has been denied, it is
easy to understand why it was so
readily believed.

BOLSHEVISM IN BAKERS BURG

Prominent citizens of Cleveland,
Ohio, are not slow in admitting that
something like the bolshevism of Eu-
rope has strong hold on their city.
cleveland is the worst hot-bed of
bolshevism in the United States"
said j. F. Royal of that city in recent
statement in New York. every
means possible is being used to check
its progress. One factory is planning
to fight this menace with Symphony
Orchestra concerts to be given ex-
clusively for the employees of their
plant" Such startling news seems to
be easily verified. Recently in Cleve-
land, c. E. Ruthenberg, former Social
ist candidate for mayor declares, "No
more reforms in the present economic
and political system will be supported.
Our whole plan is revolution" The
situation in Cleveland presents grave
aspects and it is significant to note
that Newt Baker, the pacifist Secre-
tary of War is Cleveland man, hav-
ing held the office of mayor before go
ing to Washington. 1t is more than
interesting to record the results of
pacifism. ,Pacifsm breeds disorder
wherever it gets hold. 1t was intro
duced in all its pristine purity to the
inner portals of the War Department
and there has been nothing ever
since but chaos supreme. Some day
the public will awake to the fact that
pacifism is nothing more or less than
physical cowardice and that day will
arrive when the majority of the men
from overseas have reached the
shores of America.

COUNTY FAIR AUGUST 1922

The dates for the annual Shiawas-

been announced. They are August 19
to % inclusive. The fair management
has found that the earlier dates are
more satisfactory in every way than
the later ones, and since Manager
Bowling adopted the early dates three
years ago, many other fairs about the
state have fallen in line and are also
being held earlier.

VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE

completed relative to full program of
the Victory Liberty Loan drive in Shia-
wassee County.
There will be big meeting Sunday
afternoon, April 20!h, at the armory,
starting at $3.50 with band concert
and drill in front Of the srmory by our
returned overseas soldiers. That drill
will be in charge of Lieut.. Chas Lab
man. Every returned soldier in Shia-
wassee county is invited to take part
in this drill and should at once get in
touch with Lieut.. Lahman notifying
him that they will be present and re.
ceive instructions as to the details.
Lieut.. Lahman can be reached over the
Union phone No. during the day time.
At three o'clock the speaking pro.
gram will begin, consisting of Easter
music rendered by different church
choirs, and a solo by Mrs. Lillian Vogel
Harding The principal speaker will be
the we'll known orator of Grand Rapids,
Lee H. Bierce, and short talks of their
experiences by overseas sol diers
Monday thsre will he volunteer
booth in every factory in the city of
Owosso, and the men in each factory
will volunteer their subscriptions in
their booth 1t was first planned to
have the volunteer subscriptions taken
at the armory, but to prevent the ne
cessity of shutting down the factories
it was definitely decided last Monday
night on the atove plan, and to have
the remainder of the volunteer subscrip
tions taken at the banks the same rs in
the Fourth Liberty Loan drive, 80 IL
you are in factory you will volunteer
at the booth in your factory, IL not you
will volunteer at the bank of your
choice.
The ladies' organization Of the city of
Owosso have made thorough canvas
of the city which has been very effective
in an educational way because they
have given detailed instructions rela-
tive to this loan. Now we feel that If
every person will fall in line with these
plans and volunteer where they belong
and will do their part on Monday morn
ing or during the day Monday at the
latest, there will be no doubt about a
satisfactory result being announced
early. We have all got to join efforts
and finish the job sooner or later 30 let
us all do 1t with real volunteer spirit
on Monday.
Plans for the Victory loan drive were
outlined by speakers at gathering of
war workers numbering 800 from all
parts of the county held at the srmory
Wednesday afternoon. Three speakers,
John M. Henderson Of Chicago, County
Manager'J Fl. Collins and City Man.
ager r. d. Matthews addressed the
audience.
All three speakers impressed the work.
ers with the necessity of floating the
, loan successfully and gave the workers
, some talking points in selling the bonds.
, Mr.. Henderson declared that Liberty
bonds are developers of four virtues
thrift, independence, honesty and pa
triotism, and declared that thousand,
of people in the country who had nevei
saved nickel before are now owners
= Of considerable mouev in bonds
e The quotas are as follows:
