STATES THAT BEGINNING TO-
MORROW, ALL DRIVERS SEEN
SPEEDING THEIR MACHINES
WILL BE ARRESTED.

Automobiles would do we'll to take
warning. Supt. Staubach has notified
the members of the police force that
drivers of autos are to be made to
comply with the speed limitations.
The edict is to become effective to-
morrow, the chief preferring to give
warning by means of the newspapers
Complaint has been made to the de-
partment and the chief has seen ut
to issue his instructions.
There is getting to be SO many OF
those things about town, that some
thing must be DONE" remarked the
chief. They dodge about from one
side of the street to the other, in and
out behind street cars, so that 1t is
impossible for a person trying to
cross the street to know where to
step. And then when they get on
the side streets, they have been in the
habit of cutting loose, knowing they
are not likely to meet policeman.
All of this must stop and the laws are
to be obeyed."
careiessness Charged.
1t has been charged that drivers of
machines have been very careless.
The charge is made that they usurp
the right of way requiring bicyclists
and private conveyances to make
room for them. Sunday the operator
of machine was seen to follow a
little boy on a bicycle along Main
street. The lad would turn out to
avoid the heavy car and Immediately
the car swerved to follow him. The
boy crossed into the street car tracks
and the machine followed. The boy
tried to avoid an accident and the au-
tomobilist appeared to seek one. Fin
ally the boy was forced off the street,
riding to South A street in order to
escape the automobile.
The autoists claim there is not near
ly as much danger as there appears
from a spectators viewpoint. They
say their machines are kept under
control and they can stop them within
a very few feet. and the chances of
danger are much less than they SEEM

BingIey II. Fales A micted.

Elmer t. Fales went to Flint this
week TO see his brother Bingley r..
Fales of Detroit, who is in sanitarium
having been taken there recently on
account of a break down in his health
from over work. Mr.. Fales has been
one of the active and prominent busi-
ness men of Detroit for a number of
years and it is thought that too close
application TO business has told upon
his nervous system and weakened his
mind.
1t is hoped by his friends and bust
ness associates that rest and treatment
will restore him again to the activities
of life. Mr.. Fales visited his parents
here last September. His many friends
in Ionia county hope that his case is
not so serious but that an ultimate re-
covery may follow his treatment. He
is married and has two children.

CAR DISPLAY OF CALIFORNIA
PRODUCTS
STANISLAUS COUNTY EXHIBIT
GAR WILL REACH BELDING
MONDAY, MARCH /
A Museum Also Filled With Wonders
of the Deep, Including Mon
ster Elephant Shark

The Stanislaus county exhibit cars
from California will reach Belding on
p. M. railroad Monday a. m, date,
March l, and will exhibit three days,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
March l, 2,3. Open Sa. M, close 8 p. m.
This display of tropical, semi-tropi-
cal and temperate cline fruits and
vegetables were all raised i'm Stanislaus
county, California, and are the finest
ever grown, and are wonderful when
it is understood that way. They are
sent out by the Stanislaus Co. Board of
Trade to advertise and induce immigra-
ton to that county in California, and
have been visited by many thousands,
all pronouncing them the finest ever
seen.
The museum is filled with wonders
of the deep. The principal attraction
is monster elephant shark, caught in
Monterey Bay, on the coast of Califor-
MIA, and we claim ii is one of the great
est natural curiosities ever exhibited.
This wonderful sea monster is so large
that some people might think it is inn
possible to be genuine, but if they will
only give it second thought they will
know that the Board of Trade would
never send out anything only the gen
uine; they send this along with the eX-
hibit so that they can give the visitors
one dollars worth for the Is cents
charged for admission. This helps TO
keep out the element that crowds free
exhibit and gives the class of people
we desire TO reach, room and time TO
investigate our claim as the garden
county of the world. The Board of
Trade has found out by experience that
this way gives the best satisfaction.
All visitors, large and small, are given
a sea shell free as souvenir. Farmers
come and bring your families, as it is
worth long trip TO see; so all say.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GET
TOGETHER AND HAVE A
MERRY TIME
FINE BANQUET HELD AT THE
HOTEL BELDING LAST
FRIDAY EVENING
Seniors and Juniors Take Part In
Program of Toasts and Do
Themselves Credit

1t is customary every year in the Silk
City for the senior class of the high
school to give reception to the juniors
the class which is TO follow them in the
line of graduation and no pains are
spared to make the event an interesting
one for each of the classes.
In the senior or graduating class this
year there are twentyone members, ten
boys and eleven girls, while the juniors
number eighteen, ten girls and eight
boys, and finer and better looking set
of young students seeking knowledge
would be hard work To discover. The
senior class colors are maize and blue;
flower, carnation. The juniors have
chosen for their colors, old rose and
gold, with pink rose for the flower.
The parlors, stairway and banquet
room bore the class colors in decoration
and looked very fine. After short
program in the parlor the dining room
was opened and forty sat down to the
prettily decorated tables and ate a
sumptuous spread while one of A. b..
Hull's graphophones discoursed song
and music.
Thomas Bracken jr. was toastmaster
and as on former occasion he filled
the position with great honor. The ad
dress of welcome was given by Dean
Face, one of the seniors, and it was
responded TO by Miss Irma Kidd, a
junior, each of whom knew what to
say and exactly how to say it, Fred
Travis had his appetite with him and
did the toast well. Marguerite Lamb
in "Anticipations" anticipated much
for all the members of both classes in a
very apt way.
Miss Fern Belding on "Etiquette, "
told them what was proper and what
not, while Sidney f. Washburn served
up "Mixed Pickles" in dish that was
very savory indeed. Vivian Smith in
dulged in "Romance," to good advan-
tage and j. Morgan Barkdull made
"Stung" intensely interesting for the
whole class. Margaret Frago handled
the toast "Limits and Variables," in a
decidedly pleasing way, followed by
Harry Tuttle on Lemons and Other
Fruits which he tossed about among

OWNER GOT 1T
Pin Found In Chicken Cizzard After
Being Lost Fourteen Years

Mrs. Still Marcy of Lyons, who is
visiting at the home of Warren Stiffler,
last week found gold pin lost fourteen
years ago and the circumstances again
bring out the old statement that truth
is stranger than fiction.
Many years ago Mrs. Marcy was Wis
iting in this vicinity and spent some
time at the Stifller home. While here
she lost a pin from her dress. 1t was
in the shape of horn and had a small
chain with stick pin attached. One
day she missed the pin and thought
she had lost it in Sebewa that day.
When careful search failed To locate
ii the woman gave il up as lost and the
incident had all but gone from her mind.
Last week Mrs. Stiffler was cleaning
a chicken. The chicken wasn't four
teen years old, either, but young hen.
She called to Mrs. Marcy TO show her a
pin sticking through the gizzard.
"If that had a born on it I'd think
ii was the one lost so many years ago, "
declared Mrs Marcy. The gizzard was
then cut open and there was the long
lost pin, horn and all.--Portland OBJ

INTERESTING FACTS
Showing How Protection Can Be Car
rfed so as to Make IL Easy for
Those Carrying Insurance

Many people do not realize how very
cheap old line life insurance can be Sc
cured in the Prudential Insurance COM
pany, neither do they know the great
value of the same or the great good it is
doing daily. AT the age of Is to 20,
sl4.96 is all that is required annually
for 81, 900 of old line insurance and at
the end of five years the policy will be
continued for four years and sixteen
days without further payment, thus
furnishing protection for over nine years
for $3.50, or 1881 per year, or the policy
can be exchanged at the end of five
years for paid-up policy of 5000,
which is s22.20 more than has been
paid in. You get what you pay for in
the Prudential. If you are interested
