plimentary notice of the leader of
the Grand Rapids city band:
The concert which preceded the

tive audience. The browning feature
was the cornet solos by Prof. f. l..
Bliss of Grand Rapids, who played F.
II, LOSey'S favorite selection. Ear
iada," which with the band accomp-
animent, was perfect, MIR. Bliss de-
mOnstrating that he has lost none of
his old time ability as an expert cor
netist. The hearty applause was
merited and he responded with "Flock-
tOnian Polka" AS cornetist Mr..
Bliss has few equals. He is Portage

BAND MASTER ENGAGED
YEAR AGO THURSDAY

One year ago Thursday the common
council voted to engage Prof. Bliss to
take charge of the Grand Rapids city
band. This was good move on the
part of the ''city fathers" and it is I'M
doubleday true that the citizens of
Grand Rapids have enjoyed the music
of the excellent band which was re-or-
ganiZed, and brought up to a high
standard by Mr.. Bliss. The summer
concerts will long be remembered by
the citizens who turned out enmaSSe
every concert night.
In addition to this, however, there
has been organized by Prof. Bliss a
juvenile band of nearly forty pieces
and this taken together with the
orchestra music resulting from his eff
fort, bespeakS the wisdom of the
Council, when it passed the resolution
tC employ Mr.. Bliss as director of
the band, one year ago Music has
had more OF place in Grand Rapids
during the past year than ever before.

GOOD SHOWING
BY CITY BANKS

The banks of this city had chance
to show their strength last week, and
the result was very creditable indeed.
The stock gamblers down at New
York got to fighting and run money
rates way up out of sight. At the
same time large volumns of money
were being used in the west to move
the crops and the New York and Chi
cago banks could not spare enough
currency to supply the demand. This
made it seem necessary for some of the
smaller banks in Wisconsin and other
states TO stop paying out currency ex-
cept in small amounts, for a short
time. While this was going on the
three banks in this city showed their
superior strength by continuing to
furnish money for the pay rolls and
local needs the same as usual. The
people have great faith in our banks
land they are worthy of it) and many
have helped the situation by deposit
ing more money instead of drawing
money and thereby making it neces-
sary for the banks to curtail the
amount furnished business men to
carry on their business.
With the large capital and wealthy
stockholders back of all three banks it
is entirely beyond reason to think of
any depositor loosing one cent, no
matter what happens in the outside
world
We are pleased to note that the large
imports of gold and returns on the
crops marketed, has already cleared
the situation in the east and there ar
pears to be no further cause for
trouble.

MARATHON PAYS UP
Official Neglect Chargeable To
Sister County Not Wood.

District Attorney Andrews of Wood
| county must have mixed his figures in
summing up what he thought Mara
thon county owed his district for court
| claims and items as 81 $50. Treasurer
Judges of this county can find but
81 ,080 owing. He was willing to pay
that sum, but the Wood county man
couldn't see it that way, so only the
court costs required by law to be paid
1923 paid. The account runs
over several years and is probably the
result of poor bookkeeping on the
part of our friends to the SOUTH
Wausau Herald.
District Attorney Andrews has not
mixed his figures, Brother Herald,
and the check for 1923 which was re-
ceived by the county clerk Friday
settles up old standing claims
against Marathon county. The first
of these dates back to 1909, and it was
the desire and effort of Marathon
county, to get counter claim allowed
for poor accounts. which were neither
noticed by Marathon county accord
ing to law or properly made. When
Marathon County discovered its error,
as it did when Mr.. Andrews went
after the money, said county paid up
without further parley. Therefore it
would appear that the "poor book
keeping on the part of our friends to
the SOUTH, should be chargeable to
'our" friends from the north,
The difference between the 81 $50
claimed, and the 1923 paid, or 1857, is
for two Marathon county cases tried
at the last term of the circuit court,
and not yet presented to the county
board, that body not having convened
since the cases were tried in July last
This claim of 1857 will be paid as
soon as the county board passes upon
it at its next session, and thus the
claim of Wood county for 81, go will
have been settled, Marathon county
admitting the error as of their own
making.
Investigate and ascertain the truth
Brother Herald, and transfer your
censure to your own county officials.

THE CLEARING
HOUSE CHECK

The following editorial on the
clearing house checks" which have
made their appearance among the
currency is taken from the Chicago
Tribune, Of Monday.
In order to facilitate ordinary bust
ness transactions and to afford relief
in the present emergency, the banks
of Chicago are expecting to issue some
time this week clearing house checks.
The banks will do this both because
of the demand for such relief by
merchants, manufacturers. and trans
pOrtatiOn companies, and because
such action will conserve the cash in
the banks while furnishing a medium
of exchange that will be really ac-
cepted. The checks are to be issued
in denominations Of 50, s., and 80 If
the demand is sufficiently large de-
nomination Of S may be issued.
These checks will be as good an in
strument of credit as any bank can
draw. They viii be secured by assets
in the form of bonds set apart by each
bank from its resources and held
under the jurisdiction of the Cleai ing
House association. The value Of the
securities is passed upon by the clear
ing house committee, which consists
of five members and represents the
associated banks Of Chicago. There
will be behind each check 30 per cent
of value more than the amount of its
face. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
the security is more than ample.
The person receiving such a check
may also be assured that he has the
same obligation to pay, only in small
form, that the BANKS use in settling
accounts among themselves. Any
wage Garner, merchant. grocer, or
boarding house keeper should be glad
to get such checks, for not a bank in
Chicago can offer anything better.
Not only will these checks have as Sc
curity for their payment the bonds
specially set aside for the purpose, but

BACHELOR GIRL MARRIES.

A surprise was sprung on the Bache-
lor Girls Club and the friends of Miss
Lillian DePlanta, last Wednesday night,
when pretty little home wedding took
place at the DePlanta home. Miss Lii
liam was united in marriage to Mr. Vim.
Korkete, of Virginia. Mnn. Rev. Clapp
performed the ceremony while Miss
Helen Scattergood acted as bridesmaid
and Mr.. John St. Cyr as best man.
The wedding was complete surprise
and the bachelor girls did not find it out
until Friday morning, when the young
couple left for their future home in Vir-
ginia, MINI. They were in time for a
shower of rice, however. Miss DePlanta
is we'll known in Alma, having lived
here for number of years. She has
been an Office employe at the Central
Michigan Produce Co. for some time.
Mr. Karkete is a former Alma College
student who is now engaged in the min
ing business in Minnesota. The young
couple have their home all ready fur
nished for housekeeping.

more trees. Michigan might still possess
the capital OF nearly 10000 900 which
has gone 10 other states, had she years
ago planted more trees.
The government Of the United States
has set aside I27 900, 900 acres of ground
for the forestry service. No trees less
than 10 inches in diameter is allowed TO
be cut. This insures a constant and per-
petual supply CT timber. President
Roosevelt once said; Forestry is simply
perpetuating your forests by wise use.
In Switzerland they have had forestry
reserve for 600 years. All trees above a
certain size can be cut. Each year this
reserve has made handsome profit and
at the end of 600 years is still doing So
In Michigan you have many thousands,
in fact, millions of acres of land that will
grow nothing of value tor YOU except
trees. Now how would il be for you TO
arrange FOR state forest reserve with
some good man in charge, say Prof Roth'
Prof. Roth tells us that in this state re-
serve could be made TO pay for itself after
fifteen years The Ontario reserve pays
all the forestry expenses for that province
