Cleaners Discus Farm Problems.

Declaring that the farmers are
on their farms to make living and
if possible a profit, Grant Slocum, of
Detroit, president and founder of the
Order of Cleaners, scored those per-
sons who believe that a farmer
should be content with the beauties
of nature, in his address at the after
noon session of the rally in Genesee,
Clinton and Shiawassee County
Cleaners at the armory Friday after
noon. Mr.. Slocum brought out the
dependency Of the cities upon the
country, in that the city could not
live without the country, while the
country could live without the city.
H. F. Wheaton, of Elkton, spoke
on the problems confronting the far
mers of today. Mr.. Wheaton intro
duced himself as the man who began
the first Cleaner elevator. He be-
lieved that the foremost problem of
the present day farmers is that Of or
ganization. He dwelled on the in
justice of the present methods of
financing and distributing agricul-
tural products. He claimed that col
lective, cooperative and profit-shar-
ing enterprises were necessary. He
spoke in favor of the abolishment of
individual control of the means of
distributing farm produce. Mr..
Wheaton discussed the present condi-
tion of the women on the farms, say
ing that it is necessary to improve
these. He also reviewed the work
Of the Cleaners organization, es-
pecially that of the insurance depart
ment and the Cleaner clearing house.
The meeting was opened by a
reading by Miss Lucia Cole, of Lam
sing, followed by america" sung
by the entire assembly. Rev. H. A.
Waite gave the invocation, after
which a solo was rendered by Orrin
Jennings. Mayor A. T. Wright gave
the address of welcome and was an
swered by Mrs. Macarthur, of the
Prosper Arbor. E. F. Hayward then
gave a solo, and readings were given
by Mr.. Hayward and Miss Lucia Bell
amy, of Ionia. Miss Lucy Mcdonald,
Of Owosso, gave an excellent piano
solo. The meeting was closed by
a comic drama by the Morrice Arbor.

LAVERCCK WILL TO BE
INTERPRETED.

Attorneys have argued the petit
tion of Mrs. James H. Laverock of
,Owosso, for an Interpretation by the
court on the will of her late husband.
Heirs of Mrs. Laverock are contest
ing the case.
The will of Mr.. Laverock, drawn
by himself, gave Mrs. Laverock the
use of the estate, with permission to
sell or carry on the business, as she
pleased At her death it provided
that the estate was to go to several
heirs.
Mrs. Laverock and her attorneys
declare that this phraseology is in
consistent, asserting that she
couldn't sell property belonging to
the estate and then divide it. They
claim that the will should have pro-
vided that after she had done as she
wished to with the estate, that the
remainder was to be divided.
Miner & Miner represent Mrs.
Laverock and Matthews & Hicks ap-
pear for the heirs.

Considering Personal Distribution
OF Milk.

Milk distribution plants, owned
and operated by the producers, is one
of the possibilities that loom as the
result of the cut in the price to the
producer. This developed at the
meeting Of producers of this county,
for the purpose of going over the
dairy situation, resulting from the
cut to $1.90 per 100 pounds, with 80
cents out for hauling.
The state milk producers asso-
citation has raised a fund Of over
$4,000 and a committee represent
ing that body is investigating the
workings of farm-owned distribution
plants in the east.
Figures submitted at last nights
meeting by several producers, showed
that in selling milk at $1.90 per 100
pounds, farmers were actually losing
money.
The suggestion that farmers turn
to making butter instead of selling
their milk at the reduced price, was
discarded for the reason that they
feared this would flood the market
and cause big reduction in butter
prices.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TO BE
TAKEN UP.
Copyright

A special meeting of the members
of the First Congregational church,
has been called for Sunday morning,
Dec. 10, to vote on resolution which
would create board of religious edu-
cation, within the church.
Calling of the meeting follows a
series of weekly discussions by Rev.
Walter Denny, pastor of the church,
of the problem of proper religious
education for both children and
grown-ups. In this series, the pastor
has impressed upon his hearers the
inadequacy of the present system of
religious education as it obtains in
Protestant churches generally, and
has outlined his beliefs, reached after
much study and thought, as to the
best way to accomplish the greatest
good along this line. He points out
that much of the work done at pres
ent, is only superficial, aimless, and
lacks system.
Under the system which he pro-
poses, board Of six adult members
would be created and would be in
control of the religious educational
work in the church and Sunday
school. A director of religious edu-
cation would be named to be in
direct control of this work. The
work of the various departments
would be so planned that the over
tapping that is now one of the faults
of religious education in Protestant
churches, would be done away with.
