DO YOU WANT GOOD POULTRY

If you want good cockerels to head
your farm flock, call the County
Agent. Perhaps he can direct you to
some good breeder in Shiawassee
County, having stock which will i'm

flock. 1t is also desired that farmers
having good full-blooded stock, write
the County Agent, giving quality and
quantity of such stock.

LONG MEMORIAL
NOW ASSURED

Positive information has now reach
ed Pennington from Hamilton, Can
ada, that the will of the late Mrs,
Jennie Bisby provides for the erection
of the Long Memorial building in this
city. While this provision was never
doubted by those in best position to
know, such positive knowledge is more
than welcome to all our citizens.
Constructive work on this proposed
splendid new building will doubtless
soon begin, as it is understood that
there can be no impediments in the
way of carrying out the wishes Of
Mrs. Bisby. Our people will be proud
of the Long Memorial building, which
will be real ornament, and grateful
to the donor, whose name will be cher
,ished in this community for genera
tions to come. E

Two Veteran Pins
to Be Presented

st. Francois Lodge No. 4s, l. o. o.
F., of this city is making extensive
preparations for a big event on the
occasion of the presentation of Vet
eran Pins to two members of that
lodge, which ceremonies will be OBJ
served on Monday, April 25th. These
two old Odd Fellows, who will on that
occasion have completed fifty years as
members of that order, are Joe Alex
ander, who for many years past has
been. Police Sergeant in st. Louis, and
John Lorenz, of Nashville, Ill. While
neither of these gentlemen have re-
sided in this city for a number of
years, both have continually kept
their membership in the local lodge
where they were raised, and it is the
intention of both these honored men,
bers to be present at the ceremonies
in their honor.
Many neighboring lodges have been
invited to the festivities as whole,
and information has already been re-
ceived that many visiting Odd Fellows
will be here and participate in this
somewhat unusual occasion. The
Grand Master of this Jurisdiction, E.
B. Garner, of Springfield, Mo-, has
given assurance of his attendance at
these ceremonies, which will add much
to the general interest of the occasion.
While The Times has not been in
formed as to the ages of the two pro-
posed and honored guests, they of
necessity cannot be under II years,
and many old friends and neighbors
will be proud to do them homage on
that great occasion.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
BUILDING AT ESTHER.

Plans are maturing rapidly for
building a new high school building at
Esther. A special election has been
called by the Board of Education for
April 28th, for the purpose of voting a
$45,000 bond issue. If voted, every cf-
fort will be made to have the building
completed and ready to be occupied by
the opening of school in September.
At the annual school election held
recently the required levy was voted
by splendid majority and voting
these bonds will mean no further in
crease in taxation. The levy already
voted will take care of this.
The new building, due to the crowd
ed condition of the school, is badly
needed. Nearly six hundred pupils
are now crowded into the present
building and the temporary frame
structure, some of the rooms having an
enrolment of sixty five and more
Present indications are that the toal
enrolment will be much greater next
year. There will be about sixty five
per cent increase in the high school en-
rollment.
Esther has good school and no
doubt the people of that town will get
behind this proposition and vote the
bonds necessary to put their school on
the same plane of efficiency as other
schools of the Lead Belt.
