First County Meeting of Farm Bur-
eau Women Held at C. A. r.
Hall, Owosso, December 10th.

Something like 200 women attend
ted the first County meeting of Farm
Bureau women held in connection
with the annual meeting of the Shi-
awassee County Farm Bureau.
Miss Hope Romani gave an inter-
-esting talk on "Child Feeding" Miss
Romani is connected with the De-
partment of Health at Lansing, and
has done some very splendid work
in the schools over the state with
Work that has swept over the country.
Millions of school children are being
weighed and measured all over, the
country with a view of learning
whether or not they are up to the
standard of perfect health. If a
child is found deficient in any respect
the parents are advised, and every
thing is done to build up the boy
or girl. Our state is doing this work
through the Department of Health at
Lansing.
Mrs. Louise Campbell, Director Of
II. E. Extension gave a very fine
talk on the various phases of women's
work. Mrs. Campbell has just re-
Gently accepted the position of Di-
rector of H. E. Extension, having
been for rine years connected with
the Fl. E. Department at Ames, Iowa,
as Assistant State Leader of Home
Economics work in the whole county,
and the work of Mrs. Campbell is
known everywhere among our H. E.
Extension people.
Extension work among women in
the state has been growing steadily
and soundly since it's establishment
a few years ago. Home demonstra-
tion work has been organized only
since 1917, but we now have twelve
women doing this type of work in
the state, with more counties asking
for financial assistance from the col
lege. The number will undoubtedly
be increased before next year is fin
ished Besides the women who are
working out in the counties, the de-
partment has three specialists.
Mrs. j. G.. Ketcham, who is the
woman member Of the Executive
Committee of the State Farm Bureau,
was also present, at the meeting. She
was scheduled to talk to the women
Immediately after dinner. However,
as she had just returned from the
meeting of the National Farm Bur-
eau at Indianapolis, Ind, and had
some good reports to give from that
meeting. the men asked to have her
address both the men and the women. |
The speaker of the afternoon was
late in arriving, therefore did not
finish his talk as early as had been |
expected, and Mrs. Ketcham was not
given an opportunity to talk, much to
everyone's regret. However, she has
promised to return to the county at
some future date.
An Advisory Committee of women
was also elected at the meeting, the
names of whom will appear in the
near future.

Grimm Alfalfa Seed Arrived.

Two full cars of pure Grimm al
falfa seed has arrived at the State
Farm Bureau Seed Department from
the northwest. This seed was in
spected before harvesting, and after
threshing by representative of the
Seed Department The farmer who
buy this seed will have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that they are geeting
the genuine article. Twenty bushels
of this seed have been contracted
for by farmers in the county, and it
is expected to arrive in Owosso with
in a few days. You will be notified
as soon as it gets here.
Interest in Cooperative market
ing is growing throughout the county
and state. The creation of Farm
Bureau Locals in the several market
ing centers in each county has stim-
ulated the farmers in these centers
to activity along these lines. An at
tempt has been made to have speak
er, thoroughly conversant with the
marketing problem, at meetings of
the several Locals in this County,
during the past few weeks. The in
creased demand for further inform
alton and the actual start toward CO.
operative organization by some of
the Locals, are indications that the
Farm Bureau members are seriously
the elimination Of some
Of the middle men.
Especially gratifying is the increas-
ed interest being taken in the Ale-
vator Exchange of the State Farm
Bureau. Communities that are CEN
new organizations are
anxiously watching the operation Of
this new Department, and with the
growing success Of the Ex-
change, even under present adverse
confidence in it's success
is running high. Cooperative con-
Germs that have operated more or less
successfully for some time were
prone to look with disfavor on this
new venture Of the State Farm Bur-
eau. After six weeks of successful
operation, Under most discouraging
selling conditions, most of these con-
,erns are beginning to appreciate the
to be gained through the
Exchange. 1t is only question Of
.ime when practically every Cooper
ltive elevator and other cooperative |
will see the desirability |
# associating for business purposes
With this Exchange. 1t is one of the
greatest steps ever taken in Michi-
IAN toward the solution of the mark
sting problem. Every Farm Bureau
local in Shiawassee County ought to
AVE an elevator or cooperative or
,anization affiliated with the Ex-
hange.

A Musical Omen.

Two women were married to mus
icians.
The one, a bride of a year, was
pushing baby carriage in which
were three fine babies-triplets, all
girls. The other woman had been in
the bonds of matrimony a couple of
weeks.
"What beautiful childrenw ex-

"let me tell you the funniest coin

boys who played with my husband
in the orchestra serenaded him, and
they played, 'Three Little Maids

funny?"
At this the other bride turned pale.

Community Days Planned.

Community days are being planned
by a number of the Locals in the
county. Topics dealing with the
farm and household will be discussed
by specialists from the Extension
force of the Michigan Agricultural
College. Dairy, Farm Crops, Fertil-
izers and Marketing are some of the
topics to be discussed with the men.
Topics of interest to the women will
also be given.
Has your community made ar
rrangements for days meeting with
a Pot Luck dinner? Better talk it
over soon and arrange date with
the Farm Bureau Office before it is
too late.

MICHIGAN CROP IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION A BIG WINNER
AT THE INTERNATIONAL.

Farmers of Michigan, largely thru
the efforts of the Michigan Crop
Improvement Association made a
great record at the International
Grain & Hay Show.
Michigan Wins 22 Straight Premiums
in the Rye Classl
Michigan's showing in the rye class
will go down in history as a most re-
markable one. 1t probably will never
be equalled. Out of the 80 prizes
offered Michigan won 27 of the first
%. More remarkable than this is
that the first % were taken by Mich
igan farmers. This demonstrates the
value of high grade Rosen Rye and
will mean an increase in the demand
for pure Rosen.

Outlaw RaiIroaders Are Suspected Ct

Outlaw RaiIroaders Are Suspected Of
the Job by Probing Police.
Chicago. Sept. S.-The freight train
seized here by a band of men, be-
lieved to be members of the striking
OUTLAW" switchmen, was found early
today near Bensonville, III, with the
throttle wide open and the twenty-one
freight cars apparently untouched.
Several battles between freight
crews and bands of the striking
switchmen, who never regained their
jobs, preceded the theft of the train
which occurred shortly before mid
night last night in the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul yards at Cicero, a
suburb.
Thomas White, the engineer, was
driven from his post at the point of a
gun and when Bert Zimpone. the fire.
man, resisted. he was badly beaten.
White Immediately gave the alarm and
after several hours search the train
was found. Railroad officials believe
the throttle had been pulled wide open
and the train then abandoned by the
band who stole 1t. 1t had apparently
run down for lack of steam.
White said the manner in which the
thieves handled the engine convinced
him they were experienced rail-
road men. Five suspects were taken
into custody early today by the police.
According to the train crew. the at
tackerS were not masked.

Miske Backers Not Backing

Benton Harbor, Mich, Sept. 8
Rain will not cause a postponement Of

test between Jack Dempsey and Billy

moter Fitzsimmons announced today
The ring and a large part of the open
air arena will be covered with huge
canvas early on the day Of the fight II
the weather is threatening
The referee situation is expected TO
be cleared up today with the ARRIVAL
of Thomas Bigger, chairman or the
state athletic commission Whoever IS
selected for the third man in the ring
1t is apparently certain that JACK
Kearns, manager of the champion, Will
have much to say over the choice
Promoter Fitzsimmons said the ad-
vance sale has reached $50. 600 and
that indications were favorable for
total gate OF $4,000.
Only a few scattering wagers have
been made on the outcome of the
match. There is plenty of Dempsey
money in sight but the Miske dollars
are scarce One wager OF $5,OOO al
even money that Miske would stay the
limit was snatched up quickly One
bet of $4,000 to $4,000 was recorded
that Dempsey would win.
George A. Barton, sporting editor
of Mfnneap polls, who refereed the 1lrst
ItEnL between OSIHpSSJ anu ~5A4SEAC g
ST Paul in May, 1918, in an interview
today said Miske had Dempsey to
draw in their ten round encounter
Under the boxing law in Mime
sofa, decisions - the referee are not
permitted. but snofficiaily called the
contest a draw" said Barton.
Those who gave the fight to Demp-
sew based their decision on the seventh
round in which Jack hit Billy on the
chin with a terrific right uppercut; II
the blow had floored Miske or II he
had been forced to run or clinch TO
save himself. the writers might have
been justified in awarding the contest
to Dempsey on the strength of this
blow. which was the hardest landed
during the entire ten rounds.
However. Miske was not torceo 70
run or clfnch in order to save himseif.
Instead the St. Paul boxer came right
back with a rush and drove Dempsey
all over the ring. In fact. Billy had
the better OF the milling when the Deli
rang. I figure that Miske's squirt after
receiving such a vicious blow eVeneo
up matters. Miske held his own IN
the other nine rounds and clearly was
entitled to a draw.

ence Evelyn, age and a half, who
were hurt last evening when the motor
car in which they were riding with
Ray Palmatier father of Florence
Evelyn, was hit by a Lowman Hill
street car at Tenth and Jackson

morning.
Mrs. Palmatier is believed to have
suffered a fractured rib, besides minor
injuries, and the little girl is seriously
hurt.
Ray Palmatier, of the Auto Securi-
ties company, New England building,
was driving a new Cole Aero eight,
east on Tenth street at about 10
o'clock last night, slightly behind a
Lownlan Hill street car. AS he was
passing the street car it swerved sud-
denly and took the switch at Tenth
and Jackson, turning south on jack
son. instead of proceeding straight
ahead. The automobile was COM
pletely demolished in the collision and
the occupants thrown out. Two of
Palmatier's sisters, who were in the
car, were not hurt.
THE street car company is entirely
at fault and admits it," said Palmatier
this morning, and they were good
enough to send a doctor out and have
done everything in their power to fix
things up"
The switch at Jackson and Tenth is
electrically controlled.
