ILLNESS CAUSES SUI.
eide

Mrs. Maude Welch, SO, wife OF
Fred w. Welch, laborer, living at
$50 Frasier street. died Sunday at
ternoon at $3.50 o'clock, several hours
after she had swallowed two ounces
of Cresoline, a deadly poison. Con-
tinued i'll health is given by her rel
atives as the cause of her act.
Mrs. Welch has complained OF
feeling very poorly and had been ad-
vised by a physician that an opera
ton was necessary. Chances of her
recovery even after the operation
were said to have been slight.
Sunday morning at about 9 O'Clock
she entered her bedroom and emerg-
ing later, told her husband that she
had swallowed poison. He started
to go to the home of neighbor to
call a doctor, but she followed him
and brought him back. However,
both Mr.. and Mrs. William Bradley,
with whom the Welches lived, went
to another neighbours home and tele-
phoned for three doctors and police
officers.

poral Charles Freeman, son of the
late William Freeman.
The funeral Of Private Card was
held from Jennings and Sons I'm
dertaking parlors, Saturday after

Owosso High School eleven gave
Saginaw Eastern the toughest oppos-
ition they have had this year on
Athletic field Saturday afternoon.
Saginaw money supported the pre-
diction that they would win by over
forty points. During the first half
it looked doubtful if they would win
the game at all.
Rust, by stellar punting, kept the
ball in Saginaw territory most of the
time and in the second period both
sides scored. Brackenbury went
around end for forty yards, Wea-
dock carried the ball over and Rose
berry kicked goal.
A punt from behind the Saginaw
line went straight up in the air and
Mcclure fell on the ball for a touch
down, which was the first score on
Saginaw this season. Rice failed to
kick goal.
In the second half Saginaw made
two touchdowns both resulting from
breaks. Owosso's second touchdown
came when Trickner of Saginaw
dropped a pass after completing it.
Caruso scooped the ball and ratl
half the length of the field for a
touchdown. No more scores were
made by either side.

PUT YOUR SHOULDER
TO THE WHEEL

The unemployment conference at
Washington was absolutely right in
it's declaration that unemployment is
primarily a community problem. If
there is any one at fault which may
be charged against the American
people it is the inclination in recent
years to shift local responsibilities
and duties to the National Govern
ment. We think that by shifting the
burden we shall avoid it, but such
an assumption is the reverse of the
truth. Distance of management
means waste and increased over
head costs. The easiest, quickest
and cheapest way to get things done,
as a rule, is to have them done by
local authorities under the scrutiny
of citizens and taxpayers who know
the situation by personal knowledge
and can check up on efforts for
relief and results attained. 1t is
we'll to recall the fable Of the team
ster who, when his wagon was stuck
in the mud, dispaired of getting il
out and sent for help A passerby
suggested "Put your shoulder to
the Wheel" which, when tried
proved all that was necessary.

Window pepper Caught

Dewey Clark, %, who says his
home is in Elsie, and who served five
months in the army during the war,
was Saturday sentenced to pay fine
of $50 and serve 30 days in the
county Jail. In default of payment
of the fine, he must serve GO days.
Sentence was passed by Justice Day
after Clark had pleaded guilty to a
charge of window-peeping.
Clark was caught after he had
looked into the windows of the home
of Commissioner T. E. Stebbins. on
North Washington street.
Despite Clark's denial that he had
not looked into other windows, Off
GERS are inclined to believe that he is
the same man who has been fright
ening women on North Saginaw
street for weeks, by peeking into
windows.

Shiawassee II a 9 II & h
Grade in Literary
Record

Seven tenths of one per cent of
the total population of Shiawassee
county is illiterate, according to sta
tistics based on the returns of the
l4th census taken by the govern
ment in January 1920.
An illiterate person, under the def
milton of the government, is one
10 years or more of age who cannot
write either in the English or some
other language. The percentages
are based upon the total population
of 10 years or more of age.
The percentage of native born
whites in the county listed as illit-
crates is less than one, being four
tenth of one per cent, while 2.7 per
cent of the foreign whites come un-
der this classification.
This is fine record for the county
and one all should be proud Of.

GERMAN COMPETITION
A BUCABOC

at takes more than price cutting
to win and hold an export market per-
manently," declares DR.. Julius Klein,
chief of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, who scouts the
assertions that Germany is running
this country out Of foreign markets,
and whose optimism concering our
foreign trade is infectious.
"The fear of German competition
appears to be one of the dominat-
ing influences in the minds OF per-
sons who have been voicing their
apprehensions of disaster" contin-
ues DR.. Klein. "They have visions
of German merchandise flooding
foreign markets and being eagerly
welcomed at prices with which the
American manufacturers, with their
high production costs and appreciated
currency, will not be able to compete.
But Government experts who have
investigated this troublesome prob
lem in all its phases consider the
German commercial "menace" as q
specter whose capacity for harm has
been distinctly exaggerated. Quality
delivery, terms, and credit arrange
ments are three vitality important
factors, and these must be taken in
to account in analyzing vague re-
ports concerning German success. A
marked deterioration in German
goods is reported by foreign repre-
sentatives of the Department of Com
merce-the German necessity OF
purchasing foreign raw materials fol
certain industries tends to offset the
supposed advantage of the depreciat
ed mark exchange, when the re-
sulting manufactured goods are Of
fered in foreign markets. 1t should
be borne in mind, moreover, that
American exporters are incompar'
ably better prepared to meet Ger
man competition now than they were
before the war-having the benefit
of seven years of practical expert
ence and success"
By placing our domestic market
on a firm basis through the agency
of the protective tariff, foundation
will be assured for building up trade
in foreign lands.

Discovery of the skeleton of a
child, apparently about six or eight
years of age, in shallow grave on
the farm of Manley Cassell, four
miles south Of Owosso on the Perry
road, makes the seventh skeleton to
be unearthed there in the last four
years. Five of the bodies were in one
grave, and were apparently those of
a mother, father and three children,
all murdered.
The bodies must have been buried
there more than 81 years ago, for
Mr.. Cassell's grandfather settled on
the farm four score years ago, and
no bodies were ever buried there
since then that any one knew of.

LANDS STRIKES HOME

Judge Lands has struck at the
heart Of the building stagnation. He
has eliminated many of the restict-
i've rules laid down by the radical
labor leaders, reduced wages to a
point nearer their true competitive
value and introduced the open shop
to a limited extent. The effect will
be a reduction in building costs OF
about 20 per cent. The decision re-
lates only to the Chicago district
but it is predicted that its effect will
soon be felt all over the country in
a stimulation of building activity.

"A LOVE SONG"
To Ny Blue Ridge Mountains of
Virginia.

To Nv Blue Ridge Mountains of
Virginia.
Oh lus Ridge Mountains how ! love
YOU,
A yaa blush with Spring time
glow;
WraDt in variegated vendure, from
your high poplar craig,
to Jetferson's fertile vale below.
Let your loving son lose myself in
rapture,
Mid your blue hazed tempted heads
CROW ned with Virginia's sunkissed
azure glory,
Against sky's silver clouded BEDS.
Let ne. seventh son, join the Choir
used gladness,
AS your bounding crystaled Shen-
andoah
Join with tender signing cedar trees,
and the Eagles lofty screams
Let me revil in the Dogwood,
Nestled white mid emerald green
pines,
AS the shadows softly srifting
Fleck your green lined sides in
shapless lines.
Let me lose my old and broken spirit
In the mingled perfume rare,
Of the peach and apple blossoms
Laden heavy with aromatic odors
everywhere.
Oh Blue Ridge take me and embrace
me,
In soft solitude and silence apart,
Gainst your violet covered bosom,
And lastly crush me to your heart.
Mid your bouldered rocks protruding,
Like a found and dear mothers
whitened breast,
When my active life is over,
Let me sleep, dream and rest in death
Let Virginia's prodegal son return to
his home,
No longer in fair Dixie's land to
roam.
Let me, the last of Robert and Mary
Baylor's race
In lions church yard fill the en-
PITY space the 18th place.
There is no deah, it is only long
sleep,
Which in thy bosom, o mother
Virginia, | wish to keep;
And when the trumpet sounds will
ascend,
And on the other shore Join nv
long lost friends.

In a recent issue Of the papers OF
West Virginia, it was said that Jeffer.
son county had "gone over the top"
in the Near East Relief campaign.
The State Director, DIR. William y.
Smith, neglected to put in two words,
nearly over the top. Jefferson coun-
ty has commendable record. Miss
Virginia Lucas, the chairman ap-
pointed by former Governor John J..
Cornwell, not only cared for sick
mother while in Richmond, Virginia,
but formulated and directed the plan
of the Near East Relief with such
worthy and commendable success
that that county now is nearly over
the top.

REPORT OF RED CROSS
NURSING ACTIVITIES.

The nursing activities for March
have been carried on as in the previ-
Gus months.
Sixteen visits were made to schools
at Bardane, Wiltshire, Kearneysville,
Harper's Ferry, Engle, Uvilla, Noun
tain Mission, Zoar, Charles Town,
Leetown, Riverside and Summit
Point.
Three hundred and thirty pupils
were examined by the nurse, and
among these the defective and abnor-
NAL conditions found numbered as
follows: Defective teeth, ESQ; de-
fective vision, Is; defective hearing,
3; enlarged tonsils, 10Y; deformities,
3; malnourished, So.
Four talks were given to pupils in
class-rooms and parents meeting
was addressed at the Mountain Mis-
sion. Fifty-three home visits were
made to pupils. Three were given
free surgical care, having tonsils and
adenoids removed, and seven receiv-
ed dental care.
1t was only possible to hold one
dental clinic during the month, but
We expect to resume this work to the
extent, that it had been carried on,
for the need is still urgent
DR.. Edgell also visited several of
the county schools, examining the
teeth of 238 pupils, and impressing
upon them the Importance of the care
of their teeth.
On these occasions number of the
tooth brushes, which we had obtained
at manufacturers cost, were also dis
tributed among those pupils, who ex-
pressed their willingness to make use
of them, by making a small payment.
Two child welfare conferences
were held during March with an at
tendance of II infants and children.
Eighteen home visits were made to
infants and IA to children of pre-
school age; IL nursing visits were
also made to two patients; 2 social
service visits, 2 friendly visits, and 10
other visits, making a total of 100
visits.
We have completed arrangements
with the Shepherdstown Branch for
extending our nursing service to
Shepherdstown district, and expect
to hold classes in Home Hygiene
and Care of the Sick" there, begin
ming about the middle of this month.
