Austrisns have high regard for
the liberality OF millionaires In
America and OF the Government OF
the United States. according to let

appealed to America for money,
municipalities are continually ask
ing donations, and various indi-

Many OF the calls for help come

3 CANDIDATES
Congressman BIanton and Sem
ators Thomas and Myers 10
Be Bitterly Opposed.

Labor's opposition In the coming
campaign will be concentrated against
the following:
Congressman Blanton of Texas.
Senator Thomas of Colorado.
Senator Myers OF Montana.
The American Federation OF Labor
is not yet ready to disclose its com
plete plan OF attack against these
men. An immense amount OF litera.
ture will be sent into their districts.
and speakers also are to be employed
in an extensive campaign against the
members OF Congress opposed by
Labor and to promote labor interests
generally.
WILL BE PLANNED HERE.
Labor officials say that while tho
campaign will be largely local in
it's general plan will be
worked out in the national headquar-
ters in this city. The financing will
be done almost entirely in the State
organizations. No national fund has
been collected for the campaign.
Returns from the State primaries,
in which labor has been conducting a
nSnt against certain senators anu
congressman, are being closely
scanned as they come into the fed
erations offices. The primary cam
paign has been entirely non-partisan.
and without reference to the stand
that the Federation has taken upon
national issues. More Democrats
than Republicans are being opposed
in the primary fights, although the
labor organizations will solidly sup
port the Democratic national ticket
in November.
BLANTON ESPECIALLY OPPOSED
Congressman Blanton, of Texas, is
especially opposed to all labor in
terests. particularly the Federation OF
Federal Employees, and the fight
against him will be unusually bitter.
Blanton recently appealed to Eastern
financial interests to support his cam
paign for reelection, declaring that
the labor organizations were concen-
trating against him. 1t Is generally
understood that he was turned down
in his efforts to obtain campaign
funds in Boston and New York.
The most picturesque feature OF the
Presidential campaign will be the
fight conducted by labor interests, in
GLIDING that of the newly organized
Labor party. which is affiliating with
the Non-Partisan League and the
Committee of orty-eight.

 Chicago has had several wholesale executions in the past-the most nota- ble on Nov. Il, 1887, wllon four of the Haymarket anarchists were hanged but nothing in the memory of jail ofti- Is approaches a death list of 72 1E t3sVo days.
 Hangings in the Cook county jail take place in the corridor of one or the main ceA blocks- There Is just room for double garlows, so Ii is probable, according to George F. Lee, the jailer, that the men will be ex- ecuted in pairs. The hangtngs will cost the state approximately s3,JO5, 1n- cluding a S10o fee for the shsr1f Tor each man hung.
 Those to be hanged October # arT' Sam Cardinella, leader of Q bla-sasGz n f7 gang whose members confessed tsey eraI murders; Nick Vfani, Thomas isf'- rico, Frank Campione, Sam Lopez, Joe 'Castanzo, Sam F'erraIa and Henry Reese, the latter a negro.

Eaensei, who Killed his wife, WAS to have been ex- ecuted last spring but was granted a reprieve five minutes before he was to have march ed to the ga.lOySS. An dre was convicted of killing a watch man while rciobing a factory safe. Wilson was found guilty in the same case, although he was on another floor of the building when Andre, his part ner, killed the man. The jury decided that as an accompfice he was equally guilty.

BANKERS SUPPORTING
AZ. rru DAIRY CATTLE MEN

Z. East Lansing, April Financial
backing for dairy men who wish to
build up their industry through the in
PRODUCTION of purebred foundation
stock has been guaranteed in at least
one Michigan county. At recent
meeting of Guernsey breeders in Ber-
rien County, the First National Bank
of Watervliet went on record as ready
to loan up to $4,000 to men who want
to purchase purebred Guernsey stock.
'Berrien is already one of the lead
ing Guernsey counties of the whole
middle west, and the plans now call
for the importation of at least 100
additional head of purebred females.
This foundation stock is expected to
give tremendous boost to the indus
try in this section of the state.
"There is no better way to develop
the livestock interests of the state
than on the cooperative community
basis" says j. A. WaIdron, Dairy Ex-
tension Specialist at the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College. cooperative pur-
chase of foundation stock (as the Ber-
rien County breeders are planning at
presently; purchasing and interchang-
ing of high-class, tried sires; cooper
ative marketing of dairy products;
and advertising and marketing of sur.
plus cattle, are among the possibili.
ties of community work.
"The outlook for purebred cattle
breeders of the state is unusually
bright at the present time. Present
conditions in the dairy industry de-
mand that producers use the most eff
ficient 'amchines' possible, and the
demand for high class stock is certain
to increase.

"MEMORIAL TREE DAY"

The program for Memorial Tree"
day WAS carried out by the Woman's
club at the library April 9rbut the
planting of the tree had to be left
till the weather was more suitable.
Miss Lucille Osmer favored the club
with two piano numbers and Miss
Dorothy Hartshorn accompanied by
Miss LeReign Dawson with two vocal
solos.
During the business session it was
voted to give the support of the club
to the art exhibition to be given un-
der the auspices of the chamber Of
commerce later.
The president then introduced Mr..
Linton of the high school who spoke
on forestry" especially as it applied
to Owosso shade trees. Mr.. Linton
advised that just as soon as city
finances would allow it, that profess
sional services be obtained each sum-
mer to care for the trees but until that
time individuals can do great deal
to save the life of some of Owosso's
beautiful trees. A survey by the
horticulture class Of the high school
of the trees on some of the streets,
showed that an unbelievable number
were suffering from decay and from
poor pruning and broken limbs which
lead to decay. Many of these trees
unless cared for will be dead in ter
years.
Mrs. Evora Wilson gave two poems
by the soldier poet Kilmar, "Trees'
and "The Flag"
DR.. Mattson then gave a short tall
in dedication of the tree, telling how
fitting memorial, tree that lives
and renews itself each year is for oul
soldier boys. 1t is visible sign oi
our memory and a symbol of our be-
lief in the world to come.

large as in any previous month. The
total mortgages taxes paid in was
$3,050, which means that the mort
cages totalled 100000. This is al
on real estate, and reflects the great

There are also many mortgages OF
city property recorded.
