HOSPITAL NOTES

The capacity of the temporary hos
pital has increased to 20 beds, and
with the patients coming and going
from day to day, together with the
calls from the many visitors, presents
a very busy appearance.
The average number of patients to
date is 1S.
Since the hospital was opened on
December 18th last, 16O patients have
been admitted.
At the present time, four day nur-
ses and two night nurses are en-
ployed.
The special nurses, the Misses Nc
Govern and Barton of Saginaw are
on duty. The donations from neigh
borhood baskets are proving helpful.
Indeed the needs of the hospital are
so varied that each day every article
given thus far, has been acceptable.
The potato donation, coming from
the Owosso school children, is tiding
the needs of the hospital over the pre-
sent potato shortage.

FARM BUREAU HANDLING
WOOL SATISFACTORILY

Will 1t pay to market wool through
the State Farm Bureau? This ques-
tion is being asked H. E. Dennison,
County Agent, a good many times
daily. An affirmative answer has
come from the first man from Shia-
wassee county to market through this
agency. He loaded his wool on a
truck to take it to Lansing. On his
way he stopped at Laingsburg, and
asked the local buyer what he would
pay him for it. A price of 81 cents
was offered. The farmer continued
on his way to Lansing, watched his
wool graded, and learned that the diff
ferent grades into which his wool was
put was worth from So cents to 80
cents per pound at present prices.
He has the advantage of any further
rise in price.
You will have an opportunity to
ship wool through the farm bureau if
you Farm Bureau member. Con-
tracts have been left in the following
places and may be signed before Mon
day, May 3rd:
MISUNDERSTANDING BANK.
Byron-State Bank.
Carland-Shannon's Store.
Corunna-Old State Bank.
Durand-First Commercial G. Saw
ings Bank, Ward L. Scranton.
Elsie-State Bank.
Henderson-Henderson Hardware
Company.
Lennon-Commerci Bank.
Laingsburg-Guy Cantwell's Gro
Gerry.
Ovid-State Bank.
Owosso-Farm Bureau Office.

Arrangements are being made for
parties to handle the wool at differ
ent points and announcements as to
when it will be received at those
places will be made later.

TRY HIM AND SEE

The proposal of the bean growers
of Michigan, one of the biggest bean
growing states in the Union, to send
a committee to Washington with a
petition of $4,000 bean growers for
increased tariff ought to be big aid
in securing such legislation. The Her
aid certainly is in hearty sympathy
with the proposition. Any fair mind
ed person can see the difficulties in the
way of securing such legislation at,
this time. These difficulties are: "a
1. The solid opposition of the dem
ocratic party as party, to protection
of any kind whether to beans or any
other product or manufacture.
2. The difficulty of securing any
sort of piecemeal legislation which
touches one product to secure justice
for it but does not touch others equal
ly entitled to protection.
8. The almost absolute certainty
that the position taken by President
Wilson on the tariff generally, by
which the present low rates were
brought about, would lead him to vote
an act increasing the tariff on beans
or any other commodity as matter of
political policy, no matter how just
and fair it is in itself.
There is a disposition to critcise
Mr.. Fordney because it is claimed he
has failed to do all he could do in be-
half Of this legislation.
So sure is the Herald that Mr..
Fordney is in the most active sympa-
thy with this movement for increas-
ing tariff on beans, that we do not
hesitate to say that he will cordially
welcome a petition and such a COM
mittee and leave no stone unturned to
accomplish their request.
j. w. Fordney is recognized the
world over as the foremost protection
ist in the United States. 1t was in
part for this reason that he was made
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee. The Herald does not be-
lieve that single one Of its readers
wants to see any snap judgment of
him. If protectionists cannot trust
Joe Fordney, with his protection rec
ord, whom can they trust? Send in
your committee with this big petition
and see if you are not all convinced
that "Joe" is your friend and if any
man in congress can get action he can
do it, and will do it.
We are pleased to add our endorse
ment TO what is said above by the
Gratiot County Herald, having full
confidence that Mr.. Fordney will do
his utmost for the toan r-5-ycrs of
Shiawassee.

WOMAN'S CLUB MEETING

The Woman's Club held the closing
meeting of the club year at the Ii
brary April % with a good attend
ance of members and guests. After
the usual routine business, the presi-
dent introduced Miss Hutty of the
M. A. c., who spoke of the hot lunch
clubs that have been formed in the
rural and city schools among those
pupils who are compelled to bring
their noon lunch. Miss Hutty is very
enthusiastic over this work and of
fered her services at any time, if the
mothers were interested, to assist in
getting the work started in Owosso.
Miss Rose Orlando, accompanied by
Miss Terry, then favored the club
with vocal solo.
Mrs. Crawford then told some
things concerning the array of handi-
work which was disposed about the
room. One display was all done by
natives of the mountains in Kentucky
and was for sale. There was also ex-
hibited conservation work, both in
sewing and cooking, by members of
the club.
Mrs. Williams turned over the
gavel and other club property to Mrs.
Wilson, the new president, and gave
the new officers in a very appropriate
talk and idea of their duties, and told
the old executive board how much
she had appreciated their help. She
then presented the members of each
board a white carnation.
The club gave Mrs. Williams a ris-
ing vote of thanks for her earnest
efforts in behalf of the club during
her term of office.
