THE OWOSSO TIMES
EDMUND o. DEWEY, PROP.
OWOSSO, MICH, AUG. 8. 1919.

While it is year before the nomina-
tion for governor of Michigan will be
made, still we are pleased to note the
fact that the Republicans will not be
shy of good candidates from whom to
pick the successful candidate both in
the primary and election. The an
nouncement by ex Congressman Edwin
DENLY of Detroit, that he will seek the
nomination pleases us greatly and it
would seem as though he should have
no trouble in winning. despite the fact
that Lieut.. Gov. Dickinson. Attorney
General Groesbeck and possibly OK.
Senator VIM. Alden Smith are or may
become candidates. Mr.. DENLY is one

DICKINSON CONCEDED AS
STRONG CANDIDATE

The Albion Recorder quotes with.
out comment the following from the
Charlotte Republican which might in.
dictate that the Newberry people OF
whom "Hop" is one may decide to for
give and forget. The Republican
is certainly right in saying that the
Lieutenant Governor is a man to be
reckoned with in the campaign wheth-
er his opponent be Sleeper for third
term, Attorney General Groesbeck,
Col. Gauser or someone else.
The Charlotte Republican says edi-
torially:
This sort of talk from H. A. Hop
kins, publicity manager of the New
berry campaign, in the Detroit Times,
makes it look as if the Newberry or
ganization is ready to concede 1t. Gov.
Dickinson, their arch enemy, as hav-
ing some political wisdom as we'll as
strength: Washington should have a
Fred Woodwork on the job of stay
ing the bootleggers. There are few
hurdles or handicaps here to hinder
the man with thirst and the bunch
that he can bring into the dry Dis
trict of Columbia is all the wet goods
that an automobile can carry from
Baltimore. And, although July LIST
has arrived, it does not seem to have
made much difference. So they are
asking down here why shouldn't Fred
Woodwork be the candidate of the
drys for the governor of Michigan in
stead of Luren d. Dickinson. But
Dickinson is really the man who will
have to be reckoned with. He has
been campaigning all winter. Not
with design, mind you, for Luren is
wholly without the guils of the politi-
clan. The lieutenant governor has
been strengthening himself each Sun
day during the legislative session just
the same. He travelled from one end
of the state to the other addressing
church gatherings on the Sabbath
day. Of course, he was always in
vited. He never solicited the invita-
tions. And he always came away
from those curch gatherings strong
:er than, he went there. He talked pa
troitism, and got away with it be-
cause he meant what he said, talked
without the graces of political orator
and impressed all with his sincerity
and likewise with his LONELINESS,
both of expression and contour. Not
withstanding the woman suffrage
question has been disposed of and
that the prohibition question is dead,
except for it's enforcement, Dickinson
is going to be hard man to beat"

WOMAN'S DUTY TO
CONSIDER HER PARTY

Mrs. Medill Mccormick, chairman
of the Republican Executive Commit
tee, believes in straightforward
shoulder Americanism and dyed-in-the
wool Republicanism, and she does not
hesitate to so express herself wher.
necessity arises.
Mrs. Mccormick attended the ILL
nois conference held last Tuesday,
and urged the women to preach the
SEVEN q
gospel of taking part in party poll
tics. "There is no such thing as nom
partisanship,. any more than there is
hyphenated AHericanism," said Mrs.
Mccormick.
"Party action is the legal and eff
ficient method of individual partici-
patton in government, and our first
duty is to consider with what party
we can align ourselves with on board
principles. The record of the Repub-
lican party is its best claim to support
from those citizens who would see
their constitutional rights secured and
the fundamental principles of Ameri-
can freedom maintained.
"It is just such party that women
with high ideals and splendid ener-
gies need to make them effective for
the public good, and it is just such
women that the party needs to bring
new views to sound experience"

FARMERS ORDER FERTILIZER
IN BULK

Farmers in the vicinity of Perry
are working comparatively in pur-
chasing fertilizer. Mr.. Geo. Boutell,
Mgr. of the Perry Shipping Associa-
ton, informs US that the members of
that association have already ordered
two cars and the chances are that
more will place their orders within a
comparatively short time.
The price when ordered in bulk and
taken directly from the car is at
tractive enough to make it an object
for the farmers to do business in this
way. A price of twenty-six dollars
and seventy-five cents on sixteen per
cent acid phosphate is made to all
dealers in this material. Mr.. Bou-
tell is buying at the same rate and
just enough additional charge is made
to cover cost Of handling. This will
mean saving of number of dollars
to farmers in this vicinity.
Corresponding prices are made on
all other brands Of fertilizer but prac-
tically everyone in the vicinity of
Perry is using sixteen per cent acid
phosphate.
The question of whether or not a
farmer ought to use clear avid phos-

plate or a complete fertilizer is one
that is receiving considerable atten-
ton at the present time. For most of
the heavier soils of Michigan it is
not necessary to pay the extremely
high prices for ammonia and potash
that one must pay when purchasing a
complete fertilizer.
AS mentioned in an article few
days ago larger net returns can be
obtained from the use of the sixteen
per cent acid phosphate than from
the lower grades of complete ferti-
lizer and our advice to farmers having
heavier soils where good rotation is
followed and some barn yard manure
is used would be to buy avid phos-
plate in place of complete fertilizer.
Applying at the same rate that one
would apply complete fertilizer
equally as good results would be OBJ
tanned. About two hundred pounds to
the acre is the usual application.
Any community wishing to take up
the matter of ordering fertilizers of
any kind in the way suggested above
will be given all assistance possible
from the Farm Bureau office.
All fraternities of the city are
urged to take part Labor day in con-
nection with the union organizations

Fraternities may either march in

The grand jury investigation of Il g
charges against the management of the
State prison at Jackson that there was
q shortage of $3.50, 600 as shown by a
trust company audit, collapsed the first
day OF the investigation when it was
proven that the allegations against the
prison board were untrue and that
every dollar of State money was &C.
counted for as well as all binder Irvine

In response TO a query sent out
by the Press Service 5000 news
papers have expressed opinion as
10 the status of public sentiment
as 10 the Government ownership
of railroads. The answers indi-
cate that a preponderanCe of SEN
timent favors that they be oper-
ated by private ownership. The
truth is the public could not
enunciate an opinion on this
question that would be correct.
They could not estimate in safe
or sane terms the advantages or
disadvantages and base that esti-
mate upon observations of gov
ernment control of the railroads
during the war.

Why We Will Stop Using Horses
on the Farm.

Edison says: A horse is the
poorest motor ever built. He
eats the whole output of five
acres. And yet his thermal eff
cheney is only two per cent.
With the present prices. your
horse or mule costs you from
$500 TO $225 a year to maintain.
The average horse can give 900
to 1000 hours of labor per year.
Thus every hour a horse works
ii costs not less than twenty
cents. A crop. that will require
six horses for 100 days, can be
made with the RIGHT kind of
tractor in sixty days. The oper-
ating cost for the tractor would
be approximately one-half. to say
nothing of the time saved. Now,
the purchase price of the RIGHT
kind of tractor. is only half the
purchase price of six horses!

Sound Plan for Good Roads.

Good for the farms, good for the
towns. good for the nation-Good
Roads.
Every good road is a blessing to
its locality. Where the roads are
in good shape, intercourse between
the town and the country tributary
to it is facilitated Perishable pro-
ducts from the farm, instead OF
being left to spoil on the ground
can be brought promptly into town,
and either utilized there or shipped
away to find their market. The
town has the benefit of increased
trade from the farmers.
To these manifest advantages we
may add the lessening of and tear
on horsef1esh. wagons and automo-
biles which good thorouehfares

A new body called the Federal
Highway Council has just been or.
ganized to further the building OF
hard roads in all states of the union.
1t will act as an advisory council to
state and local organizations, work
ing in harmony with them and
striving toward the same end.
1t will back the Townsend bill
now pending in Congress. which ap-
propriates $425 900 900 for national
highways. This sum. if our legis.
lators pass the law will be used to
further an improved system of roads
for every state.
An excellent reason for carving
out this work at present is the
amount of employment it would
supply to returned soldiers and sail
ore. The benefits of this under
taking would be felt by every class
of people in the nation.-Yazoo

Trade and Traffic.
There is fund available In
the fourth supervisors district
that can be used for the SurfaC-
ing of roads. This fund is not
sufficient to surface all the roads
in the district that need it. The
road commissioners will gladly
appropriate a part of this fund to
the surfaCing of any road in the
district. if the people interested
will assist in the expense TO any
appreciable extent. The fact is,
we hear that people living on
semi highways or neighborhood
roads have made propositions to
the road commissioners 10 help
in this way. They have prof
fered hauling and money 10 get
this help. This is laudable and
enterprising in a very high de-
gree and is the best Investment
they could make; for every dol
lar spent that way would reim-
burse them many fold in the
saving of vehicles, teams and en-
hancement in the value of their
lands.
We take it. however, that the
commissioners would first prefer
TO surface those highways which
are a crying need TO the public
traffic and the trade of the towns.
The highway that cries most TO
public necessity for a coat of
gravel is the Aberdeen and Cot
ton Gin road that connects Alb
erdeen with one of IFS most flour
ishing trade districts. This thor
oughfare is the artery that sub
divides and ramifies every nook
and corner of the north end of
the fourth district and every part
of the fifth district. ItrepresentS
the channel through which fully
fifty per cent of Aberdeen'S trade
ought to flow. No such per cent
of it comes this way for Okolona,
Amory and Nettleton are reach
ing out for this trade and are get
ting il too. 1t otherwise would
come TO Aberdeen if the roads
were made unifOrmerly good
from every section intermediate
between the towns. Our busi-
ness people and those owning
on this road should wait
no longer for the road to surface
itself. They should get together
for a mutual benefit and propose
to supplement the fund available
in the hands of the road commits
siOnerS. They should get coat
of gravel on this road before next
The cost of hauling the |
gravel is about $1,000 per mile and |
the gravel is available not far
from the road bed. Labor, haul
ing and money can be contrib
uted by land owners and those
interested in such vol
ume as would make if feasible |
for the commissioners 10 furnish |
the balance of the cost and have |
the road surfaced.
We understand further that the
road commissioners of the fifth
would surface the road |
from Nettleton to the fourth dis
trict line, in case we should sur
face to that point, thus inSuring a
from Aberdeen all the
way to Nettleton. Owners of
the sandy and clay lands and |
residents along this road should |
ponder this question well. They |
should not fail to bear in mind |
that lands in the prairie section
have doubled in value since the |
rock roads were constructed.
They should want their lands
TO become more valuable, also,
and do like the prairie land own
ers have done. They should get
busy and build surfaced roads.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, March '31.-After making fairly wide declines in the early session today, cotton stcaded in the afternoon, recovered all losses and closed i to 13 points up net, on the new contracts and , off to 13 up on the old. Little business was done in the old contract.
 Highest prices strangely enough, were reached following the reduction of spot quotations by 100 points, which carried middling down ito 25.25. The argument was that the new spot quotations put the market more in line with interior prices and also served to. put spots and futures more in line with each other.
 The opening was lower on good weather in the belt and the absence of any buying features in political news. Toward the middle of the day early sellers tried to realize profits and caused a reaction. The improve ment was widened by the large ex- ports for the day, 33,000 bales against none this day last year, and the better tone of English c0nsols and exchange. There were also re- ports that strikers at southern mill points were going back to work.
 Cotton closed: Old steady, points down to 15 up net, and new steady,
