GRAIN CARS WERE "PLUGGED"
UnscrupuIous Shippers Detected In
Practice of Placing Inferior
Corn on Bottom.

Heavy loading Of grain, due to
shortage of cars, offers a temptation
to the INSCRIPTIONS shipper to plug
bis load by placing inferior grain on
the bottom of the load to escape de-
lection, according to reports received
by the bureau of markets, United
States department Of agriculture.
When the car Is heavily loaded 1t Is
sometimes difficult for grain inspec-
tors to reach the bottom of the car
with the ordinary grain trier.
Federal grain supervision Offices re-
port few recent discoveries Of this
practice. In one case car of corn
which the inspector had graded No. 2
mixed was found to have about IL
feet of musty, heat-damaged corn on
the bottom of the car. The supervis-
ion grade was No. 6 mixed on account
of musty odor, % per cent heat dam
aged and IL per cent total damaged.
In another instance about IA feet
Of very musty wheat was found on
the bottom of a car Of wheat which
otherwise graded No. 1, free from
smut.
While this practice is by no means
common, inspectors have been warn
ed to be careful to get representative
samples and to be especially rartlc,l-
lar when saniplIseg heavily loaded
cars.

ASK s1.7o A THOUSAND FOR GAS

The price that consumers of gas
in Owosso must pay, is now entirely
in the hands of state public utilities
commission. Following the hearing
Tuesday on the petition of the gas
company for. an increased rate, the
commission took the matter under ao-
visement, and will issue an order later,
fixing the price.
The gas company asked that it be
permitted to charge $1.7O per thous-
and cubic feet, an advance of 60 cents
per thousand feet.
Members of the city commission,
who attended the hearing told the
commission that they realized the gas
company should have an increase but
that they thought that $1.70 was too
much. They said, however, that they
would insist on better service if the
rate was increased. They think $1.4O
is a reasonable price.

GOT RID OF MALCONTENTS
Pilgrim Fathers Had Highly Effec-
tive Way Of Dealing With the COL
onys Undesirables.

Deportation of "undesirables" Is not
an innovation in this country. The
Pilgrim Fathers, confronted with the
problem of dealing with malcontents
among them, shipped the disgruntled
ones overseas. Governor BradfOrd's
story of the Plymouth colony shows
how things were done in those days.
According to Bradford's story the
"reds" in the Plymouth colony were
represented by John Iiford and John
Oldham, who conspired together, both
against the church and the govern
ment of the colony, endeavoring to en-
tice others with them. Oldham re-
fused duty when called upon by Cap
tain Standish, whereupon it was deter
mined to place Oldham and Liford on
trial, all the members of the colony
being present. They were convicted,
the court ordering them expelled from
the colony, both being deported ulti-
mately.
Oldham came once again to the col
ony and created a serious breach OF
the peace, whereupon "they committed
him till he was tanner, and then ap-
pointed n guard Of musketeers which
he was to pass through, and everyone
was ordered to give him thdmp on
We birch, with ye butt end of his mus
ket and then was conveyed to We wa
terside. where boat was ready to
carry him away. Then they bid him
goe and mende his maners."

MOTHERS DAY PROCLAMATION
By the Governor.
3y the Governor.

Although its observance dates back
but few years, Mothers Day has al
ready become a national institution
and is fittingly and tenderly celebrated
by all classes and conditions of peo-
pie throughout the land.
1t is well that we should pause
amid the hurry and hustle of life and
let our thoughts go back to the days
of long ago, as we cherish the men,
ory of the mothers who have left us.
While they were with us their chief
concern was our welfare and comfor.
and happiness, and the mothers of to-
day are animated by the same spirit
of devotion and sacrifice, Indeed,
nowhere else in human life is the spir-
it of unselfish service so well exem-
pllfied as in the devotion of mothers to
their homes and families.
Therefore, that we may pay a spe-
cial tribute of affection to the moth
ers who still live and honor the men,
ory of those who have gone from us,
/, Albert f. Sleeper, Governor of the
State of Michigan, do hereby desig-
nate and set aside
Sunday, May Ninth Next, as Mothers
Day
and l call upon our people, both young
and old, to gather in their several
places of worship and take part in
services appropriate to the day, and,
by the wearing of red flower for the
living mother and a white for the
dear departed, to symbolic their love
and reverence for the mothers of the
nation.
Let me suggest too that absent sons
and daughters take this occasion to
visit, if possible, the mother in the
old home, or, where such a visit is i'm
possible, that they send a message or
cheer and greeting. By this may
mothers know that in the rush of af-
fairs they are not forgotten.
In accordance with resolution of
the Congress of the United States, l
further request the people of Nichi-
gan on the day aforesaid to display
the United States flag in their homes
and in other suitable places, as a fit
ting expression of their desire to pay
homage to American motherhood.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State this Thirtieth day
Of Auril, in the year Of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and twen-
ty, and Of the Commonwealth the
eighty-fourth.
ALBERT f. SLEEPER,
Governor.

Secretary of State.

FIRST DAY OF
FALL WITH us,
EXPERTS TELL
Equinox was at 2:29 a. m. To.
day, and Fall Season Starts
Two Days Late
HEAVY RAINS IN STATE

This is the first day Of fall--or first
part day.
1t became fall at 1928 a. M, experts
say. BY all accepted standard Sept
p is summers last day. But this
year the equinox was due at 1928 u
n. central time. H.
There's been quite lot of debate
among experts on the question.
Weather bureau officials, for their
purposes, consider September as fall
month, and decision was refused on
the point.
The equinox is time for storms,
according to legend. The weather;
bureau reports don't show this, how
ever. The equinox is, the dictionary
says:
1.-THE time when the suns center in
crossing the equator comedies with
either of the equinoctial points, that
is, about Sept. IL or 22."
The weather bureau here did fore
cast probably showers tonight and
Friday, but no storms or colder wealth
er is in sight.
There was rain in many places in
the state in the last "a hours, weather
bureau reports today showed. AZ
Larimore there was two and one-half
inches of rainfall. Other amounts re-
ported were: Napoleon, 10; Langdon
