MUCH LIQUOR
Consumed by American
People. ''~

The four mammoth volumes de-
voted to the census of manufactures
are full of suggestive items of in
formation about individual industries.
For instance, 1t appears that the to-
tai production of liquors, distilled.
malt, and vinous,; In the census year,
was 1926, ,000,0 gallons, per capita
consumption of seventeen gallons.
There still appears to be work for the
temperance societies. .. Nearly ten
billion ordinary toilet pins were manu-
factured, besides 161 100000 hairpins.
and as many more safety pins. The
old conundrum,-whe do all the pins
go?-is as far as ever from the salts
factory answer. The manufacture Of
steel pins reached 1,764,000 gross; and
of lead pencils, 1,660O00 gross. OF
boots. shoes and slippers, 19,235, 900
pairs were manufactured, and there
were 49,979,00O pairs Of rubber boots
and shoes made besides; there ap-
pears to be no reason why any of our
people should go barefoot. OF car
pets Of oil kinds, 75,532,O00 running
yards were manufactured. OF wooden
and worsted piece goods, 1898, ,141, 900
square yards were made. more than
five square yards to a person; SO that
none of our people. would seem to
need to SO naked. OF cotton goods
there were woven the enormous
quantity of 4,5O9, $50 900 square yards,
equivalent to nearly sixty square
yards for every man. woman and
child in the country. OF hose and
half hose, and of knitted shirts and
drawers, 15,819,0 900 dozen,-these two
branches Of fianR&ettre9 representing
forms of wearing apparel which less
than sixty years ago were exclusively
made by the women of the household.
Perhaps no figure in the whole CEN
sus mass illustrate more effectively
than these the complete revolution in
household econpmy which machine
manufacture has brought about. 1t
has relieved the woman OF the largest
part of her home duties, and thus
driven her into the factory, the store
and the office. OF collars and cuffs,
121 200, 900 were made in the factories
having value of $4,000, 900. Fifty
years factory made collar was prac-
tically unknown. Pianos to the num-
ber of III, 900 were made in the CEN
sus year, not counting organs and
melodeons; and the question is, where
do they all go? No better test Of the
general prosperity of the masses of
our people can be cited than the fact
that they absorb this number of pi-
amos, an absolute luxury, in a single
year of, good business. OF watch
movements, 2,124,000 were made, ex-
elusive of 1.211 900 cheap, or dollar"
watches, made in clock factories. OF
typewriters, 145,000 were made, valued
at $5,624 900. As recently as 1872, not
a typewriter had ever been marketed,
and in the interval this American in
vention has revolutionized the cores
pondence of the world. OF sewing
machines. $4,000 were made. exclus-
i've Of $4,000 sewing machines for
factory use. OF bicycles there were
made 1,113.0O0, a much smaller num-
ber than the average production Of a
few years ago, but enough to show
that the bicycle has staying powers

There will be an extraordinary at
traction in the city next week, one
thousand silk worms at work.
The Epworth League of theCentral
NJ. Il. church has arranged to give an
exhibit for one week, Of a regular
silk colony of genuine Chinese silk
worms. These worms were imported
direct from China and we're procured
through the influence Of Minister Con-
ger. The vacant store opposite the
hotel Belding has been secured ana
the exhibit will begin next Monday
and continue through the week. Bel
ding is known as the silk city, but yet
few here have ever seen how the sllk
is spun. Surely this will be a very IN
teresting study of one of nature
most wonderous processes, and must
be seen and appreciated. Every one
especially the young, should embrace
this opportunity to learn lesson II

color of the worms, the golden sheer
of the silk and the dark green OF tn

TOBACCO AND CIGARETTES.
they Are Working Great Harm to
our Public schools.

Speaking Of the growingeyil among
the youth of our land, the Grand Rap
ids Press says;
Cigarettes and their effects furnish
a continual problem for school auth
critics. Tobacco in this form is used
by a large percentage of the boys at
tending public school, and statistics
afford those in charge IN excellent
opportunity for Judging as to the
relative progress of students alike
equipped in mental and physical
strength. part Of whom resort to a
stimulent and a part of whom refrain
from smoking Of any kind. In this
city there is an oyercrowded truant
school every member of which, it is
said, smokes cigarettes. school auth
critics agree that the cigarette has
its influence i'm molding the character
of the young who use it, eithee for
the sake OF the stimulent or the sup
posed soothing effects. How to best
combat the evil educators are not
agreed, and no great amount of pro-
press seems to be made along that
line.
DR.. Fisk Of the Northwestern Uni
versity takes the stand that tobacco
in any form had a tendency to dull
the mind of the pupil, but was com
PEELED to admit the cigarette form
was the most Objectionable and injuri-
Gus. He showed, by reading statistics,
taken at the university during the
last nine years, that the student adj
dicted to the tobacco habit made a
much lower average in his class per-
centages than those who were not
given 10 the habit. Mine years ago
we commenced keeping a record on
this subject" he said, "and we have
found that the boy who fails, usually
uses tobacco. Not single student
using tobacco has stood in the first
rank this year. and this has been the
case in the last nine years with one
exception. 1t is fact that as the
scholarship lowers the ratio of to-
bacco users increases.
In Grand Rapids superintendent and
principals unite in saying that the
cigarette smoking pupil stands good
show of reaching the trIiant school

sooner OF lateL.. -.

Sheridan Advertiser;
The Congregational church very
much regrets the removalof Rev. and
Mrs. J. n. Butler from this place. The
period Of Mr.. Buffers ministry has
been one of unbroken harmony be-
tween pastor and people, and as a
public speaker and gospel preacher
he has been constantly gaining in
favor both at home and abroad.
To do the most good to the largest
number has been his motive since
coming to this place, FIVE and a half
years ago.
We would much prefer asking Mr..
Butler for a reconsideration and Sc
cure his consent TO remain in the
pleasant relation which exists today,
we're il not for our sincere desire to
cooperate with him in that which he
feels and believes to be for the best Of
all concerned.
our church is better spiritually, has
higher ideas, and is better prepared
TO meet the future becalsc of his life
/ among us.
The love and sympathy of this
church will follow Mr., ald Mrs Butler
TO their new work (gladits no farther
awav) and where ever tde changes of
this life may take them our wish for
them is that our Faher's richest
blessings may be theirs.
A large congregation gathered at
the church Sunday moning to hear
the farewell sermon ofARev j. Il. But.

one, as all regret verymuch TO part

Night and IL VIII be Long Re-
membered by Local Members.

The Modern Woodmen Of America
had the right of way in the city Mon
day evening and they certainly had a
big time. The special train from
Grand Rapids consisting of four well
filled coaches arrived a little before
eight O'Clock and was met at the Pere
Marquette station by many local
members and the Smyrna and Belding
bands combined into one. A process
sion was soon formed and marched to
and down Main st, to Broas St, where
they countermarched and returned to
the Opera House where the meeting
was to be held, so as to insure abund-
ance of room for all. The Valley City
Camp forester team gave an eXhibi-
tion drill in front of Spencer q Lloyd's
and the Kent Camp team in front of
the Opera House, both drills being
witnessed by many hundreds of spec
tators, who pronounced them fine.
The Kent Camp team is not only one
of the best i'm this state, but one of
the best in the entire country
The meeting in the Opera House
was called to order by Venerable
Consul II. j. Connell of Belding and
the opening exercises performed by
the Belding officers, after which they
vacated their places and the officers
nf "a faD
ceeded to give the first part of the
adoption ceremony to class of ten
candidates. After they finished,
Kent Camp officers and team took up
the work and completed it. This took
until about midnight, after which all
adjourned to the NJ. w. A. hall i'm the
Belding block, where lunch of hot
coffee, sandwiches, pickles, cheese,
and doughnuts was served by caterer
b. +. Christian of the Gem bakery
and restaurant.
The whole thing was conceived by
district deputy head consul J. l..
Morgan, and he was one of the chief
factors in its successful termination.

REV. QUICK RESIGNS.
The Popular Pastor of the Baptist
Church Has Accepted a Call To
Jersey City.

Belding is about to lose another
popular pastor, Rev. Quick of the
Baptist church having rendered his
resignation TO take immediate effect.
1t comes upon the church entirely un-
expected and in fact was not antici-
pated 10y himself a short time ago.
The reason for ii is because he has
received a call to go TO Jersey City
and become the pastor of the Parmly
Memorial church, the Oldest Baptist
church i'm that city of considerably
over POO, 200 population While his
work here for something over three
years past has been of the most pleas
ant and harmonious nature, and every
thing was mutually satisfactory, yet
he felt the many advantages of a To-
cation there, aside from the larger
salary, were inducements not to be
declined He will preach his farewell
sermon here next Sunday.

From Jersey City Journal May %, 1909.

From Jersey City Journal May p, i@2.
Rev. Gorrell Quick of Belding,
Mich, has accepted call from the
Parmly Memorial Baptist church, and
will begin service as its pastor June
s. Rev. Mr.. Quick is son-in-law of
Prof. Langdon S. Thompson of II
Park street, who teaches drawing in
the public schools of this city. He is
35 years old.
His call TO the Parmly Memorial
is looked upon by many of the mem
bers as peculiarly providential. He
was visiting Prof. Thompson last
March, and had no information that
Rev J Madison Hare was likely TO re-
sign the pastorate of the Parmly
Church when he attended service
there one Sunday and introduced him
self to Paster Hare as a Baptist min
ister.
Rev. Mr. Hare invited him into the
pulpit, and Rev. Mr.. Quick made a
prayer. A majority of the church
were much impressed, and had ii not
been that invitation to preach in the
Parmly church pulpit had already
been sent TO two clergymen, it is said
that no other minister than Mr.. Quick
would have been considered. Rev.
Mr.. Quick preached at the Parmly
church soon after he made the ac
anaintanee of Rev. MIR. Hare, and he
was in the pulpit when Pastp Hare
preached his final sermon.
