The banquet of the Bennington
Ladies' Art club, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. G. S. Baldwin, Thursday
evening, was most delightful occa-
sion. 1t was the "Gentlemen's
Night" and the club members with
their husbands made twenty-four
guests present. The ladies of the
club served very delicious banquet,
which was much enjoyed by the men.
Afterwards a business meeting was
held, and it was decided to have these
banquets and social evenings once a
month, and to call the organization
"The Community Club" A presi-
dent, Mrs. Fred Locke, and a secre-
tary, Mrs. E. ]. Hibbard, were elect
ed. The remainder of the evening
was pleasantly spent at cards.

Ann Arbor Railroad Does Largest
Months Business

In the month of August the Ann
Arbor Railroad handled over car
ferries slightly in excess of 5000
loaded cars, this being the banner
movement for the railroad. These
car ferries form the connecting link
on the line for through traffic be-
tween the East and the Northwest,
and while service has been excellent
the average miles per day movement
does not show this because it in
cludes a large amount of traffic for
export and for Atlantic seaboard cit
les more or less covered by embargoes
and other regulation which resulted
in some delay on terminals prior to
deliveries to connections.
By reasons of increase in power
and other facilities and with four
car ferries all in excellent condition
to operate with out interference
throughout the winter the Ann Ar
Dor is able to handle an increase in
tonnage of from twenty-five to forty
per cent, moving this increased busi-
ness with despatch from the time of
receipt to the time of delivery to
connections.
The Owosso times., 1920-11-12

The armory was the scene of a
very pleasant party Friday evening
when Mr.. and Mrs. George M. Dewey,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Edwin Ellis, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. j. Melchers and DR.. and
Mrs j. o. Parker entertained at a
dinner dance. A three course dinner
was served in the dining rooms in the
basement of the armory. The hosts
and hostesses were assisted by the
following young ladies: Misses Jose
phine Copas, Lucille Osmer, Caroline
and Helen Melchers, Margaret Ellis,
Jane Osborn, Marie Campbell and Zil-
pha Smith.
Following the dinner the guests
were ushered to the auditorium where
dancing was enjoyed until twelve
o'clock. The entrance to the ball
room was through beautiful lattice
arbor, entwined with foliage and
flowers. Features of the evening
were the favor dance and solos rem
dered during the intermissions by
Miss Marjorie Taylor, of Hamilton,
Ontario, who delighted the guests
with her selections. One hundred and
fifty guests were present at the func-
ton, which was a most enjoyable one
for all the guests.

features will be bushel samples of
certified seed potatoes from each of
the forty fields which were certified

Potato growers Of the state are

strong trade pressure to bear against
the "snowbirds" and the "fiv-bv-
night" speculative element that had
engrafted itself upon the industry.
, There was time not very long
ago when the coal carrying railroad
officials were incredulous. They did
not believe it when they were told
| that their car distributors were sell
ing them out and taking individual
bribes as high as $500 week from
favored operators and shippers. But
the Pennsylvania Railroad within the
last few days has modified it's prev
ious attitude of incredulity. Several
OF its incriminated employees, in
Guiding car distributors, have been
dismissed from its service. In the
cases of some, because of lack of
legal evidence of guilt, the law can
not reach them. There is reason to
believe like action may be taken soon
along the lines Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. AZ
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has bestirred itself also. 1t found
that some of its accredited agents.
not in Washington but those posted
In various parts of the country, had
been smirched with the coal scandal.
Some of them the law may yet reach
and punish. Others have been ex-
PEELED from the service.
The commission furthermore adopt
ed and promulgated in October Serv-
ice Order No. 21, which under GER
tain limitations permitted the desig-
nation of cars for the carrying of
coal to supply public utility corpora
tions in the East and which suspend
ed previous conflicting orders. There
is high authority for the assertion
that when Special Order No. 21 be-
came effective the number of assigned
ears dropped more than nine-tenths.
Aligning itself in thorough harmony
with the aims of the Department of
Justice, the Wholesale Coal Trade
Association of New York early last
summer adopted series of pledges
Tor purging the industry of it's must
heinous abuses. Finally, under still
further pressure from Attorney Cen
eral Palmer, Col. d B. Wentz, pres
ident of the National Coal Associa-
ton, which comprises in its member
ship 5000 of the most extensive mine
owners and operators Of the country,
established a committee expressly to
assist the work of William McMurtrie
Speer, Mr.. Palmer's lieutenant in this
judicial district. Under Col. gWentz's
call general meeting of operators in
session in Cleveland took steps for
the apopintment of 'fair practices"
committees in the various bituininous
districts and pledged their unreserved
cooperation in the eradication of
hurtful practices from the industry.

CIRCUIT COURT

Six Fenton boys, some of whom are
still in school pleaded guilty in cir
cult court Monday to a charge of
breaking and entering the By
ron school building last March,
and doing damage estimated at
$500, to avenge a defeat inflicted
by the Byron high school basket
ball team by the Fenton five. Judge
Collins placed them on probation
until September, 1921. Among the
terms of their probation are the pro-
visions that each pay into the court
$34 to reimburse the Byron school
district for damage to the building,
and costs of 1888 each.
Pleas of guilty were entered by two
youths in circuit court Monday, while
third stood mute. Henry Kerby
of Owosso, accused of stealing an
automobile tire, stood mute and a
plea of not guilty was entered for
him. He will be tried next Monday.
His bail was continued.
Melbert Frasier, charged with
and his bond was continued.
Charles Elliott, a 17-year-old
Owosso boy, pleaded guilty to stat
utory charge and was remanded. He
told the court that although his
father, who lives in Lansing, had
known that he was in Jail for two
weeks, the father had neither writ
ten to him nor come to see him.
Milton Sexton, charged with bas-
tardy, appeared but his case , was
put over the term because of the
fact that the mother of the child al
legged to be his is still in the hos
pital.
The trial of Earl Dumfee of Dur
and, charged with rape, was taken
up in circuit court Tuesday before a
jury. Dumpfee is charged with
following a Durand girl home from
town some weeks ago and assault
ing her. He denies the charge.
Judge Collins has consented to the
dismissal of the case against George
Spencer, charged with rape, because
of lack of evidence.
Allan Somers, who some months
ago pleaded guilty to charge of
receiving and disposing of stolen
was in court yester-
day to receive sentence, but his
case was put over the term. His
brother, Clarence, was recently

The Chamber of Commerce held

which 80 or 40 were present. AZ
ter the luncheon the president call

Manufacturing Co. Mr.. Rigley call
ed the attention of the Chamber
of Commerce to the terms of the
contract, whereby his company was
given a bonus Of $4,000 by the
city at the time their plant was
destroyed by fire. According to
the terms of this contract the COM
'pany agreed to pay $500,000 out in
wages during the first five years af-
ter the plant was rebuilt. Mr..
Rigley showed that the company
had done far better than that and
asked that the contract be endorsed
accordingly. The matter was refer
red to the board of directors with a
recommendation of favorable action.
Miss Vissell, industrial secretary
of the Central Y. w. c. A. field
with headquarters in Chicago, was
present and gave brief talk, out
lining the work of the Y. w. c..
A. among the working girls and
asked that the manufacturers and
merchants of Owosso extend all
possible cooperation to the local sec
retary, Miss Mendenhall in her work
among these girls.
Next Tuesday representatives of
the towns along the Ann Arbor line
will be present together with the
officials of the Ann Arbor railroad.
1t is felt that more trains are
needed on the north end of the
line and it is hoped that the dis
cussion at this meeting will lead
to some action in improving this sit
uation.
