FISCHER SPEAKS
To OWOSSO MEN

Mr.. Fischer stated that it was
the work of Chambers of Com
merce in all parts of the country
that is going to raise the United
States out of the dark and into the
light of prosperity.
He said that the great fault OF
the nation today is that the peo-
pie are too pessimistic always look
ing for a dark cloud, and when it
is found they never try to see a
silver lining.
Mr.. Fischer is an optimist, say
ing that life is nothing but what
you make it. Claiming that busi-
ness is the term of life and life is
the term of service, also claiming
that If a person fails to put 100
per cent interest in his business he
shall never reap 100 per cent out.
Mr.. Fischer said for a comparison.
las you sow so shall ye reap"
The speaker said "The goth CEN
tury will be the greatest centarv
that ever will come upon this
planet. Because of the great re-
construction wave that is not only
sweeping over our race and our
nation but the whole world, no
other time will human genius be
called upon to tax its brains"
The Owosso times., 1922-02-24

1t is not that the committee is do-
ing all that it can to further the ven-
ture, but it needs the moral and finan-
cial support of the community at
large to make the complete success
that is hoped will come eventually,
At present there is no place where
the people of Owosso, either young
or old, may play. 1t was the aim
and ideal Of the originators of the
Armory to have it as place where
the younger people of the city could
go for recreation. Even the sedate
business man forgets at times he Is
grown up and plays again as when p
boy.
There is nothing that will renew
the vitality of a plodding business
man more than an hours work out
in the Gym, and if the men feel that
their selfishness is so great that they
do not care TO do something for the
younger people, at least they should
do something for themselves and in.
directly benefit Others

OPPORTUNITYNO NOW PRESENTED
JUDGE JEFFR|ES
SPEAKS At OWOSSO
Warns Citizens To Choose
Men For Public Service
With Care
Preceding Judge Jeffries Mr.. Brook

eceedipg Judge Jeffries Mr.. Brool
of the Machinists gave short
speech before a large crowd Thurs.
day night at the Odd Fellows hal
telling in compact way the labor
troubles and questions that are be.
fore the laboring people today. Aft
er speaking for Is minutes Mr.
Brock introduced Judge Jeffries. OF
| Detroit.
Mr.. Jeffries said in the last two
years after the majority of farm
ers paid their overhead expenses
they had hardly enough left to buy
seed for the next years crop. Also
throughout the past year, so per
cent of the farmers of Michigan
have lost their farms and are liv-
ing on tenant farms belonging to
financial farmers as Judge Jeffries
calls them.
During the year of 1920 over
$4,000, 100000 purchasing power
was taken away from the farmer.
Also of capitalist taking large sums
of money out Of circulation and in
vesting it in untaxable securities,
this making taxes extremely high
and wages low. Judge Jeffries also
explained that if the soldiers bonus
was once passed it would be great
help towards this country's renew
ing manufacturing operations, be-
cause it would stimulate the pur-
chasing power throughout the ma
ton.
Another topic that Judge JEFF
fries spoke on was the subject
of money is the compelling of Ger
many to pay her war debt in gold,
when practically S5 per cent OF all
the gold is in the hands of England
and United States. England has
40 per cent and United States 45
per cent so what can Germany do
but manufacture and sell her prod
ucts to the Allies for the gold to
enable her to pay her debt.
Germany is going to export her
products at any price in return for
the price OF gold and while the
capitalist in the United States and
England are buying the products
they are not only giving Germany
her much desired gold but the Ger
man labor is working day and
night, while laborers in England
and United States are walking the
streets.
Judge Jeffries- said it is time that
the small business men, dirt farm
ers and paid laborers should get
together, join hands and stand
solid for these rights and at the
next election knock that crowd in
Washington through the ropes.
Judge Jeffries in closing his
speech told the people not to for
get their duty at election and for
everyone to get together.
There has been series of lect-
ures arranged to be held at Owos-
so. One of the bills includes a
lecture from Glen A. Plum, the or
iginator OF the plum line plan. Mr..
Plum will lecture at the armory
some time i'm March.

After March free testing will

pei all owners of cattle to have
the test made. but it does insist
and will compel all owners of cat
tie, who offer milk for sale who
have failed to comply with the
ordinance after March l to have a
