A LOVES


Speak not to me of parting here.
| will not have il so.
One of us may in some dread year,
Some year Of chill and snow,
fass ON. But part? By all above
That we shall never do;
For you are all myself, my Love,
And ] am one with you.
You may be called to some far spot,
On some blest errand bent,
And leave me here to moan my lot
In grievous discomfort.
But parted? Never! Dire defeat
Dogs those who'd make us two;
For you are all myself, my Sweet,
And / am one With you.
My spirit intertwines with yours,
And yours is wool of mine,
And long as Love itself endures
Twill find therein a shrine.
No earthly chance can tear apart
Or sever tie so true,
Whilst you are all myself, my Heart,
And l am one with you.

Something like the Great White Way
proposed between Milwaukee and Chi
cago, along the lake shore, is in view OF
certain promoters of New York city, who
have secured the favor of the governor
of New Jersey for the construction of
boulevard along the Jersey coast from
Atlantic Highlands to Cape May as part
of one of the most magnificent driveway
systems in the world. Undertakings of
this kind have been suggested by the
development of automobiling which has
made possible long tours over good roads
during a comparatively few hours. A
good road between Milwaukee and Chi
cago would make travel between the
cities by moter vehicles quite common,
and cause the occupation of the inter
vening country with summer homes.

Under the same administration that
removed ''In God we trust" from the
coins of the United States the portrait
Of Abraham Lincoln has been taken
from the postage stamps. This year is
one in which the memory of Lincoln will
receive especial commemoration, because
it is the centenary of his birth. So
widespread is the sentiment against the
disappearance of the Lincoln portrait
from the postage stamps that in all
probability it will be put back-just as
I'm God we trust" was restored to the
coins. In some quarters the suggestion
is made that it might as well supersede
the bust of Franklin on the 1-cent
stamp. This suggestion should not pre-
vail. Franklin was the father of the
American postoffice. His benign fea-
lures have been on the 1-cent stamp
so long and with such good reason that
it would be a shame to take them off.
there is plenty of chance for Lined In
ON one of the other stamps.

The movement to send Il relief ship
into the Arctic regions to find and sue
cor DR.. Frederick Cook, the missing ex.
plorer, is a common sequel to polar eff
fort, But it would seem to be unneces-
Sary from the fact that Commander
Peary is now in the region in which Dr.
Cook is supposed to be marooned by
force of circumstances, and ii is possi-
BILE that he has found the Doctor and
taken him aboard the Roosevelt. 1t is
true that the route chosen by DIR. Cook
through Ellesmere land and the western
portion of Grant land is far from the
channel through which the Roosevelt
was pushed toward the polar sea. but as
1t was Commander Peary's expressed in
tention to put in the winter hunting fol
musk oxen in Grant land, to replenish
his harder, the hunting parties will be
likely to discover trees of Cook. How
ever, there is no way by which commu
nication can be had with Peary Until he
comes southwark next fall, and the anx.
iety of DIR. Cooks friends is naturally
impelling them to take steps ON their own
account.

Fourteen men were injured and finan-
cial damage to the extent of $4,000 was
caused in Boston by the blowing up of
a hot water heater in a building occu-
pied by dealers in provisions. 1t was
caused by scarcity of water in the
boiler, which had automatic feeders, and
the resultant generation of steam in the
heater and in the pipes leading there
from. When the boiler ''let co." it
blew up portion of the floor and
smashed many packages of goods among
which the injured men were at work
This accident, closely following one in
a tenement house in New York. where
n steam boiler burst and killed child
in an adjoining apartment, ought to
make ianitors and others careful as to
tho heating apparatus. The accident in
Boston could not have occurred had the
automatic water feed been in good work
ing condition, 1t failed to operate at
a critical time. and as the man in charge
of the heating plant had absolute CON
tidence in it, there was an explosion.
The lesson in this particular is obvious.

surprising that more has not been said
or urged in regard to the necessity of
diligent and unceasing exploration of the

millions of dollars worth of coal under
the Yellowstone National Park the day
is likely TO come when these deposits will
be worked The conservation of the
beauties of nature appeals as strongly
to Americans as to any people in the
world, but American winters are very
cold and the demand for fuel for manu-
featuring purposes is steady and urgent,
and Americans are too practical to let
valuable natural resources go to waste.

THREE ACCIDENTS
Mark the Opening of the Football Sea-
son in Belding

Last Saturday saw the opening of
the football season in this city and two
games were played. The first game
was between the Belding high school
eleven and an eleven from the Grand
Rapids Catholic high school. The To-
cal team carried off the honors in this
game, winning the same by score of
IL TO 5. During this game two of the
Grand Rapids players were badly in
jured, Coe Minardo suffering broken
leg and another player receiving kick
in the head that knocked him senseless.
Both were taken to Grand Rapids that
evening, one of them going home on
stretcher.
In the second game between the Beld-
ing Independents and the Greenville
r. A. c., both sides tried to get score
and neither side succeeded, the score
standing to at the close of the game.
In this game Ray Peak, one of the
Greenville players, received an injury
TO his left leg that put him out of the
game. 1t was thought that his leg was
broken, but an examination by DIR.
Dorr revealed the fact that the liga-
ments around the knee had been torn
very painfully, but no break had oc-
Cured. The young man was assisted
home by his companions.

Will Remain in Lakeview

Last weeks Banner contained local
stating that Rev. A. Secord had resigned
his pastorate at the Congreg ational
church in Lakeview and would move
TO Princeton, Minn., in the near future.
A letter from Mr.. Secord the first of
the week states that he rendered his
resignation, but his congregation with
one accord asked him TO withdraw the
same and he has decided to remain.
This is somewhat different from the
statement in the Detroit News recently
to the effect that he had fiayed his con-
gregation for automobile riding on Sun
day and had been asked TO resign.
Rev. Secord has evidently won his way
into the hearts OF his flock in manner
certainly most satisfactory TO himself
and family.

Lyman III. Howe's Travel Festival
in the opera house on November 2, is
an entertainment that combines great
originality, contrasts and Judgment
three qualities which are rarely found
in any attraction. It's originality lies
in the fact that it takes the audience
TO scenes which the professional trav-
eler seldom visits. Fine judgment is
displayed in presenting only the best
of every given scene, thereby making
every moment spent with Mr.. Howe
positive pleasure. Whatever the
picture may be whether travel, "story, "
humorous, military or navel, it is al
ways interesting. There is not a dull
moment, no tedious pause at any time.
The same program as given at the Hip
podrome in New York City.

Will Submit to An Operation

The many friends of Lyman w.
Holmes will regret TO learn that his
health has failed SO rapidly of late
that it was thought advisable for him
TO submit TO an operation as the only
chance of saving his life. Tuesday
morning, accompanied by his sister
Carrie, he started for Rochester, Mimi,
where he hopes an operation at the
hands of the Drs. Hay, two of the
greatest surgeons in the United States,
will be successful in prolonging his
life. Grave fears are entertained that
he has waited too long before taking
the present move, but all who know
"Boney" will wish him success in
his undertaking, even though hope
may seem thing of the past.

FREE DELIVERY
Postmaster David E. Wilson Gets
Advice From p. o. Department
at Washington.

For the past year and more there
has been strong sentiment in favor
of free mail delivery system in the
city, and the increasing business at
the postoffice has made it necessary
that action be taken looking toward
that end when the proper time should
come for the change and business
conditions would warrantit.
Mr.. Wilson has been in touch with
the sentiment of the city and has kept
the postoflice department advised Of
the situation here, and on one or two
occasions officials have been sent here
to investigate the matter and report
TO headquarters. Mr.. Wilson has been
anxious for the change, but could do
nothing towards pushing the matter
in the way of bringing it about until
the yearly receipts of the office touched
the required amount and certain con-
ditions imposed upon the city by rul-
ing of the postoffice department should
be complied with. Recently he for
warded to the department his an
nual report, and together with it an
application for city delivery.
The following answer was received
yesterday
Post Office Department
First Assistant Postmaster General
Washington, ID. C., Oct. IL, 1909.
Postmaster,
Belding, Michigan.
Sir:-In reply to your letter of the
5th instant, in which you state that
the revenues of your office for the
last fiscal year were $ll, ,63l and that
the public improvements required
have been provided, you are informed
that representative of the Depart
future, and on receipt of his report you
will be advised Of the action taken on
your application for city delivery
service, Respectfully,
T., Il. Bushnell,
Acting lst Asst. Postmaster General.
Inasmuch as the inspector may be
here any day, ii would be well for
any and all persons who have not
yet placed numbers on their houses
TO do so at once, so as not to cause
any delay in the matter of securing
city delivery. The crowded condition
at the postofiice every evening is an
evidence of the need of local delivery
in Belding.
