CANNING COMPANY MUST CAN
CORN THIS YEAR

The Owosso Canning Co. is advis-
ing farmers who signed up to raise
peas this summer, that it will not be
able to handle the crop, because of
the delay in getting the factory
building under way. 1t is doubtful
if the building can be completed be-
fore the middle of June and it will
take some time to install the ma
chinery.
The pea crop should be harvested
in June, and the company is afraid to
take chance on the plant not being
ready to handle the crop, which must
be canned while green.
Representatives Of the company
are asking the farmers to raise sweet
corn instead, for canning purposes.
The company will pay $11 per ton for
Evergreen and SIS per ton for
Crosby corn.

Democratic Overstocks

1t is reported that President Hard
ing will soon ask Congress to create
sales board to supervise the liquid
alton of the tremendous surplus
stocks of equipment and supplies the
Government has on hand as a result
of the war. Since the armistice it
is understood that about $4,000, ,00O,-
900 worth of surplus material has
been disposed of, but it is estimated
that $4,000, 100000 worth remains.
The articles range from the smallest
of quartermaster supplies to big
steamships and are held by practical
ly all the departments, the War and
Navy Departments and the Shipping
Board leading. Sale of the stuff
would not only bring a reduction in
price to the consumer, but every tax
payer would benefit through the ad-
ditional receipts of the Treasury.
The President is understood to have
discussed the matter with members OF
his Cabinet, who agree with him that
steps should be taken at once to dis
pose of the surplus.

notice blythe County Road Commission
that bids for the work would be opened

as yet what material will be used. 81,
The paving to be done totals three

Surveyors have already started work
on the Flint Owosso road, which is also

RESIGNS PASTORATE BECAUSE
OF ILL HEALTH

The Rev. w. F. Jerome, for the
past several weeks rector of Christ
Episcopal church of this city, has ten
dered his resignation to the board of
vestrymen, and it has been accepted
with reluctance. Poor health made it
necessary for Rev. Jerome to give up
the work. In his short stay here he
proved himself an excellent rector
and a valuable citizen.
He served overseas as a Y. M.
G. A. worker and never regained his
strength, after long illness caused
by injuries to his leg which seized him
soon after returning to this country.
He believed when he came here, how
ever, that he had regained his health
sufficiently to handle the work, but
soon it became evident to him that he
would have to give it up.
The church has extended call to
Rev. William Heilman of Flint, to fill
the local pulpit and he is expected to
accept, and preach here for the first
time Sunday.

WASHINGTON LETTER
GOVERNMENT GLEANINGS
TWO BIG ITEMS

Washington, May 10-(Special
correspondence)-Two items that en-
ter into the cost of living are the
$4,000, 100000 of Federal taxation
and the $6,000,00O,OO0 of railroad
transportation we are now paying.
That represents an average burden of
$3.50 for every family in the United
States. 1t is too much and must be
reduced. The Republican Congress
is now engaged in the task of reduc-
ing the government tax bill to the
lowest possible point consistent with
national safety. Much of the rail
taxes are in the shape of labor in
fiation, and that unnecessary
charge upon the country is going to
be reduced in the very near future.
Scheme as they may, the railroad
brotherhoods cannot resist the mex
orable economic law of supply and
demand. 1t will be but few months
before both forms of taxation will be
materially cut, and cost of living will
be reduced accordingly.

future. Under it's terms admission to
the United States annually of any
nationality will be restricted to three
per cent of the number already in
this country.

the effect of obscuring the back
ground, often making it difficult to
see the clay birds. On this account,
the club hopes to secure more fav-
