THE ARMORY OPEN AT LAST

At last the demands of Public Spirited
Citizsps have been heeded aud the
Armory Gill be turned over to the
Chamber of Commerce of Owosso in
the very near future.
Much credit is due to our good friend
and citizon, John Macdonald also w.
A, Seegmiller for the opening of the
Armory, al it was only through the un.
firing efforts of these men that the
Military board was brought to see tie
( greater lighter; the light of doing the
right thing for the young men aud
boys of Owosso.
When we realize that the influences
which are broght to bear upon the
growing boy will mould him as man
into life that Is based upon mis- boy
hood day., we should think we'll before
we heedlessly rush on in mad pursuit
of business and it's gains, the while for
getting that our boys exist, until as we
grow old we then awaken to the things
that are around US, and we gaze in
horror at the present generation and
exclaim in awe When was boy, we
never were allowed to 60 such things" 4"
II we forget the boys then we can
not expect perfect nation to arise,
from our conceptions, and when we
( blame the boys for their misdemeanors
we should look well to home and place
the blame upon our selves and not the
boys whose early training has been
neglected, because of purely selfish
reasons.
Again let US express our heartfelt
thanks to the men who have not for.
gotten that they once were boys and
whose hearts have sympathetic chords
that vibrate to a patriotic cause, 80
that this nation will live on in strength,
and purity aud shall not perish from
the earth.

Many Interesting Subjects Discussed
by Members

All the officers of the county farm
bureau were reelected at the annual
meeting of the members in the base
ment of the public library Friday
afternoon. These officers are: c. M.
Urch, Durand, president; T. P. Bish-
op, Henderson, vice president; Leslie
Clark, Perry; Lucine Scribner, Nor
rice, and c. S. Shippey, Bennington,
directors for three-year term.

Heilman, rector of Christ Episcopal
church here; one by C. L. Brody, of
Lansing, newly appointed member of
the state agriculture board, and Mr..
Carlmerk, of Jackson, representa-
tive of the Moline Plow company of
Moline, Ill.
Rev. Meilman's subject was "What
Cooperative Business Needs" He
pointed out that faithful practice
and willingness to start the game as
beginners is what cooperative enter
prise should be based on.
Mr.. Brody told the members of
the bureau of the work of the state
farm bureau. He said the bureau
had co-ordinated the work of the
Potato Growers exchange, the Ele-
vator exchange, the Milk Producers
exchange, the Fruit Growers ex-
change, and the Livestock Shipping
association so that each, while a sep
arate and distinct organization, was,
through the farm bureau, co-operat-
ing with one another. He said it was
planned to have the directorate of
the state farm bureau composed of
one representative from each of
these organizations and from each
of the county farm bureaus of the
state.
The speaker also told of the work
of the purchasing department of the
state bureau, which is buying fer
tilizer, coal, seed and farm supplies
for its members, and of the seed,
traffic and educational departments
it maintained. Michigan and Texas,
he said, are the only two states in
the union in which the farm bureaus
are engaged in serving members in a
business way.

All churches, Sunday schools,

statement that 10000 children, and
even larger number of adults, must
die this winter unless the American
people come to the aid of the suf-

Mr.. Vickrey says in a letter of
August "a, 1921:

seen the dead and dying of starva-
ton. I walked through streets of
once prosperous cities, where not one
particle of worthwhile merchandise
could be seen for sale. Streets and
market places are used chiefly as
bartering places where people en-
deavor to exchange a secondhand
garment, or other personal property,
for food with which to satisfy hun
ger. And this is the month of Aug
ust. Ones imagination recoils be-
fore the picture of what conditions
will be in February and March.
"The question naturally occurs
are the people to blame, and why do
they not regain self-support?
Zone of the main reasons is that
these lands were occupied by enemy
forces until the twenty-first of April
of the present year, with no trans
portation or communication to the
outside world. After April twenty
first it was impossible to procure suf-
ficient seed and plant enough land
to produce adequate feod supplies,

I have stood beside heaps of human
bones and half-decomposed bodies
representing the remains of 500
women and children killed in one
spot within the present year-and
these were only part of the $4,000
who perished in that
vicinity-suggests the reign of ter
ror that has paralyzed all normal
self-supporting activities. The people
are trying to help themselves and
the existing government is doing all
that it is humanity possible for
government to do under present con-
ditions, but without outside help
there will be death rate in the Cau-
casus during the coming year COM
parable only to that which many of
our workers witnessed three years
ago.
"Of course there is the brighter
side-within our orphanage COM
pounds, where the children now know
no hunger and where they laugh and
sing and play. 1t is a most crafty
ing sight to see these children, thous-
ands of them, at work making their
own clothing for the winter from
cast-off American garments and even
from empty flour sacks, and other
wise bending every effort to meet
their own needs. These children we
will undoubtedly, on present pros
poets, be able to keep alive, but we
must face the question of how much
we can do towards taking in other
children"

Declaring that politics and the per-
sonal aspirations of Governor Alex.
j. Groesbeck mean more to the state
conservation department than do
Michigan's natural resources, James
Oliver Curwood, Owosso's noted
writer Of wild life and northern ro-
mances, is now ready to fire bar
rage against the alleged injection of
politics into the state game depart
ment by the governor and John
Baird, state game warden.
The barrage will be fired at num-
erous meetings throughout Michigan,
Mr.. Curwood said-meetings that
will be held under the auspices of
various organizations. Sportsmen of
three counties will muster under the
Curwood banner at Flint, Friday,
where the first of these meetings will
be held under the auspices of the
Genesee County Sportsmen's club.
The novelist said that in all proba-
bility the second meeting would be
held in Lansing in the very near
future.
Cheated of Birthright."
In a letter written recently by
Mr.. Curwood to w. A. Pomeroy,
president Of the Genesee County
Sportsmen's club-a letter that was
burning excoriation-the Owosso
author declared that Michigan is
sbeing cheated out of her birthright
because Lansing plays first the game
Of politics, leaving the welfare of the
state and its people secondary mat
ter" and further, that ''those poll
ticians have prostituted our conf
dence. by harnessing even the wild
life and forest resources of the state
to a political machine"
James Oliver Curwood declared
that never before in the history of
Michigan have so many political
wires been strung out from Lansing
and connected securely in every sec
tion of the state, as there are at the
present time.
"John Baird, Governor Groesbeck
and the conservation commission
have it in their power today to bring
about any and all legislation neces-
sary to assure the honest conserva-
tion and propagation of Michigan's
natural resources" Mr.. Curwood ex-
claimed, "and with this power to
bring about legislation, they also
have the power to enforce that legis-
lation.
"But this great work, by all odds
the biggest thing that could be done
for the people of Michigan, is not
achieved simply because of those two
things-politics and inefficiency, as
exhibited by those who are in con-
troll Of the blood-sucking political
machine, which has been built up in
Michigan"
Mr.. Curwood wants to see the
actual conservation and propagation
of the states forest and wild life
brought about during the Groesbeck
administration. But in the event of
the present regimes utter failure,
the novelist stands ready to swing
100000 votes to man who would
run for governor on conservation
lines.

I%rritability, grouchiness, depression, cynicism and a
general impression that the world has gone, or is going,
to the demnition bow-wows are usually the result of phys

Smiles, pep, good nature, optimism and good fellow

The man who has taken a course of Chiropractic adj
justments enjoys health and Astounding vitality. He just
can't quit smiling. He wants to tell others about Chiro-
practic so they can smile too.
He becomes a self-appointed missionary, recommends
ing Chiropractic to his friends. The friends investigate
for themselves. Soon they also become enthusiastic and
recommend Chiropractic to their friends.
Thus the number of Chiropracic enthusiasts constant
