BOUGHT DANISH ISLANDS.

The U. S. Government and the
Danish Government have signed articles
by which the United States buys the
Danish West Indies Islands, paying
therefor S5,0O0,OOO The trade needs
to be ratified by the U S. Senate, of
which there is no doubt. Judged. by
the immense petitions signed by the
people of these islands protesting
against belonging TO the United States,
our government had better. appropriate
another five milllen dollars to pay for
sending these people who don't want
to live under our flag over TO Denmark,
the government of their choice. This
thing of buying unwilling people goes
hard and comes high. but it must be
az cording to the existing order of
things.

TO PROTECT THE SMALL SHIP
PERS.

In the annual report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission so strong an
argument is made for power to compel
railroads to maintain the published
tariffs of freight rates that Congress
cannot consistently refuse to amend the
Interstate Commerce act in order TO
attain this end.
The relations now existing between
the railroad and certain great shippers
are such that small dealers are of
necessity driven out of business. They
cannot cnmpete with giant concerns
whose,rebates from carrying corpora
tons in themselves amount to profit
able business: The result is that the
heavy shippers are thus established in
a monopoly control of the situation
which is calamitous in its significance
OF the destruction of competition.

IN MEMORY OF G. s, WILSON

Died, at the family home near Hick-
man, Jan. 18th 1902, Mr. G. S. Wilson.
He was born Feb. 20. 1919. and was
near 90 years old
Born and raised in this community he
enjoyed the highest respect of all who
knew him, because of his manly charac
teristics both of head and heart: but it
was at home as husband. father. and
son that his MODEST traits were con
spicuous, Always tender, considerable.
affectionate and generous. He was
never too wearied or worn % show by
living acts his love and sympathy for
those aronnd and about him. He was a
man of such culture and information as
might easily have commanded position
IN the affairs of the world, but his low
ing heart relegated such ambitions
because Of his greater love for his i'm
mediate family and immediate circle of
associates. He was a man of indie
pendent convictions, and had the cour-
age to act on his convictions, but
always with due courtesy t. the con.
victions of others. He leaves a widow,
daughter OF the late Judge Josiah
Parker and a number of children TO
mourn his death. He leaves them the
record of a good and honorable name,
which in the years TO come will be of
much pride and comfort to them. May
the God of the widow and orphan
comfort and bless them in their sad
bereavement,

TO BUILD CLUB HOUSE.
Relding Gentlemen organize Club
and VIII Have Resort at
wabasis Lake.

Belding gentlemen are very prompt
to act when they once get an idea In
their head, so it comes about that
while a week ago such a thing was
unthought of, this week an organiza-
ton of gentlemen is all perfected to
build a club house at Wabasis Lake,
the contract let for the work to NJ.
A. Cooley and it is to be completed
ready for occupancy Aug, Is. This is
the outcome of the camping party
which was noted in last weeks BAN
NER as going there for a few days
outing
The organization will be known as
the Wabasis Club, and the officers
chosen are DIR. J. f.. Ferguson, presi-
dent: b. H. Hall, vice president; G.. d..
Weter. secretary and treasurer;C. NJ.
Wise, steward. The number of mem
bers is limited To 20 and the member
ship fee is placed at Sl5 Ground has
been leased at J. A. Lessiter's land
ing. which is considered the best on
the lake and the club house will be
located ON a fine knoll, with good
drainage and plenty of shade trees
around it. The size of the building is
to be 22x34 with an eight foot veranda
all around it There will be one large
room 29x22 and two smallerones l4X22
There will be an ft. attic which can
be utilized for sleeping room is case
there is a crowd. In the large room
a stone fireplace will be built and the
front veranda will be enclosed with
wire screening so that tables can be
set out there when desired without
trouble from ilys, mosquitoes, etc.
Next year an annex may he built
and someone engaged to go there and
reside during the season and ready al
all times to serve meals or lunches tC
the club members who may call there
The only wonder of the projectors anC
promoters are that they didn't thinl
about it before.

Just Between You and Me.

What is the use of kicking? When
things go wrong with you and you
feel like fiddle with the bridge down
doesn't 1t occur to you that the
chances are that it is you who are
bilious and not that the universe has
slipped a cog in the night? Don't
you know that the man to whom you
take your tale Of woe sees in it con-
fession of weakness on your part and
in nine cases out of ten you are con-
demned out of your own mouth? More
times than not, the whole trouble
arises from your having too high an
opinion of your deserts and too low a
one of your neighbor's. If success
has marked you for its own, ifyou are
going to rise superior 10 your him
ORANGES, you are going to ignore what
you can of unpleasantness, bear what
you must and work away with an un-
tagging determination to achieve
your end. The only thing that really
counts for anything is results. Talk
will never cover deficiencies, nor will
any amount of explanation or excuse
prevail in the face of continual fail
ure. DO something,

Any Box Constructed After Certain

Postmaster General Payne will soon

that any box coming within certain

mitted to a special agent in charge OF

foundation for the statement that
any kind of box could be used after

Nj. E. Church.

The building committee in charge
of the new NJ. +. church building have
been busy although not much has
been heard from them by the general
public for the last two or three weeks.
1t is season of great activity among
the contractors and builders, and
help scarce and hard to get even at
high prices, consequently the bids re-
ceived by them for the entire building
have been considerably higher than
was anticipated, and ii is believed
higher than can be obtained later
SO they have decided to divide it and
instead of letting the entire contra ct
at this time they have made one with
Mr.. Fred Mueller, of Ionia, to build
the basement. AS the building is a
large one, this will take some time.
and contractors will have a chance to
get many of their contracts complet-
ed and out of the way, so that better
figures may be obtained possibly on
the main building. If not it perhaps
may be allowed to go over to next
spring for completion. Mr.. Mueller
has put in the foundation walls for
several of the largest and best bloc ks
and factories in this city and his repu-
tation as a workman is first-class.
The work will be commenced at once.
