TO CLOSE EARLY
The Hub Inaugurates an Early Clos
ing Movement for Clerks Benefit

Elsewhere in this paper appears an
announcement by The Hub, the head
TO foot store, relative TO new rule
adopted by this big store. Much has
been said and done of late TO shorten
the hours of labor of both men and
women in factories, stores and every
place where human toll enters into the
consideration and the last legislature
passed law making ii criminal Of
fense for employers TO work women
over ten hours day. Mr.. Divine, the
genial proprietor of The Hub, has
long felt that it would be To his inter-
est as well as to the interest of his help
TO adopt some form of early closing
that would not interfere with his Gus
toners and would make the strain on
his clerks less burdensome.
AS seen in his announcement on an
other page he will hereafter close his
store promptly at o'clock with the
exception of pay nights and Saturday
nights. He says, 81 am giving this
matter extra publicity because so
many people seem to think it terrible
that a store should close at eight
o'clock or publicly appeal to the peo-
piles sense of fairness and justice to the
end that they will conclude that when
they expect stores To keep open into
all hours of the night, they are asking
too much"
Persons desiring to transact business
at The Hub will do well To remember
the new ruling, and make ii point TO
attend To their shopping in this store
before eight o'clock. 1t is expected
that other business places will sooner
or later fall in line with his idea and
the hard working clerks will have a
few more hours TO themselves.

Up for 20 Days

Charles Smith who is unfortunately
addicted TO the whiskey drinking
habit was brought into Justice Lap
hams court Monday morning by
Marshall Blett, after his Judgement
in Jail over Sunday and on his plea OF
guilty to being drunk Saturday night
ON the streets, was sent the county Jail
for twenty days, without the alterna-
tive of fine. Smith went To Green
Vile Saturday, "bottled up" returned
on the evening train and proceeded to
let people know how he could exercise
his "personal liberty" when AL Web
ber run him in.
Repeated warning by the Marshall
given Smith during the past months
seemed to have no effect in the
case. The officers propose TO clean up
on all disorderlies quickly and it won't
do for any one TO take chances in VIOLA
ting the law.

Family Band Feature.

Bert Silver's Model Tent show is
billed for this city on Saturday, June

biggest show on earth but we do claim
the best 20 cent show you ever saw in
Michigan" There are no tiresome
waits, but something doing from start
to finish. The program consists of fine
aerial work on the trapeze, balancing,
contortionists work, tumbling, slack
wire walking, vaudeville turns, etc.
Mr.. Silver claims 10 have comedians
whoare funny and not vulgar.
The Silver Family Band discourses
fine music both afternoon and evening

show line will certainly not let this
chance pass without attending it,.
Some of the performers are men who
have played with the larger circuses
and are hired at large salaries for the
season. Remember the date and at
tend this model entertainment.

HONOR TO BELDING
Professor Vaughn of U. of NJ. to Lee.
ture Here on tuberculosis


While in Ann Arbor last week in
attendance on the State Board of
Medical Examiners, DIR. William Bell
of this city was guest of Professor
Vaughn, Dean of the University, and
and in the course of the evening told
the doctor that we had small but in
tensely interested society for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis here in
Belding and asked that gentleman
what he could do to help out our So
iety in any way.
DIR. Vaughn is one of Michgian's
greatest physician and surgeon, and is
also member of the National and
and Worlds association for preven-
ton of tuberculosis and after listening
to DR.. Bells description of our city and
the interest which ii had shown in the
tuberculosis subject, surprised the
Doctor very agreeably by informing
him that he would come TO Belding on
some future date, whenever wanted,
dhu uCiiNOi iiio liluSJidtcu icCbulC oh
tuberculosis for just his expences on
the trip.
Somewhat elated at his success in
securing such valuable concession
from the learned doctor, Doctor Bell
was relating his success To another
gentleman in the University city, who
is also much interested in the subject
at issue and he was very much sur
prised to have this gentleman ask him
how much the expenses would amount
to. The doctor told him that the ex-
penses would probably not exceed ten
dollars, when the gentleman pulled out
his purse and handed him $40 bill.
All that our citizens will have To do
now is TO furnish the place TO meet and
the audience and il seems as if that
would be very easy task for Belding
DR.. Bell seems To have the interest of
the Silk city at heart just as much
| abroad as at home and certainly TO be
congratulated on his success in secur-
ing such learned man TO come TO our
city with lecture of such value to all
and on such ersy terms.
The Banner will give timely notice
of the date set for his appearance and
hopes To see great audience present on
the occasion of his visit

THE ALUMNI
Twenty First Annual Banquet of
Association Held Last Friday.

The Belding High School Alumni
association was twenty one years old
last week, the first meeting being held
in June, 1883, with six graduating
classes present numbering twenty
eight graduates and since that time at
the close of each school year the Alum
nj have met although many of the
members Oh several occasions were un-
able to be present some having died or
moved TO distant parts of the country.
1t was held this year in the Congre-
gational church, the spacious and con-
venient dining room affording very
fine place for serving the banquet,
while the parlor and auditorium were
used for the reception rooms, the liter
ary and musical program and business
session.
The ladies of the Congregational
church served the banquet at nine
o'clock and before the company re-
paired TO the dining room short
musical program was rendered. Mrs.
Fred +. Ireland gave a selection on the
pipe organ and responded 10 an encore.
Miss Florence Wagner and Mr.. George
Wagner sang a duet and responded TO
an encore also, and Miss Lena Leonard
who is home from Grand Forks, South
Dakota, favored the company with a
beautiful solo and she too was obliged
TO respond to an encore
The banquet tables looked lovely in
their decorations and the menu and
service was all that heart could wish.
Seventy six places were filled at the
tables. Mr.. Lucian Jersey, '06, made
a good toastmaster and called on Mrs.
Nellie Millard TO respond TO the toast
eighty four" which she touched up
in fine shape. Edwin q. Webster, '99,
was long on "Pipe Dreams" and made
his remarks very interesting. "The
F'ledglings" was Miss Grace Ballou's
'99 toast and although she was one of
them the banqueters soon discovered
that she knew few things that older
heads might envy. Mr.. Byron +.
Brown, 80, who has developed into
one of the best after dinner speakers in
the city discussed the toast "Candyp
in very sweet way for both the lady
and gentleman guests interspersing his
talk with many stories. Mrs. l.. X.
Webster, Sumner Wilson and +. w.
Ranney were called upon and added
their mite to the pleasures of the even
ing.
AT the business meeting Edwin
Webster was elected president, Sumner
Wilson, vice president, and Florence
Fisher secretary and treasurer.

Activity in That Line Already
Begun-A New Parsonage
is Contemplated
FINE NEW LIVERY BARN
Belding Bros. & Co. Break Ground
For Large Warehouse-Severa
Dwellings to be Built

The building boom seems TO have
struck Belding again this year, and not
the least among the new buildings TO
be erected in this city this summer is
the fine new livery barn on the lots on
the south side of o. +. w ebster's livery
barn. Mrs. l.. G. Millard has asked and
obtained permission of the council to
erect two story building on these lots
and will begin work at once on the
same The building will be 44X90 and
will be as near as possible, absolutely
fire proof Just who will occupy the
new building seems little in the air at
this time but it will probably be leased
To o. f. Webster, as an ordinance pass
ed by the common council several
weeks ago condemned the building now
occupied by him and requires that it
be torn down before the First of Sep
tember.
Belding Bros. II Co. have broken
ground for another building and work
on the same will be pushed rapidly TO
its completion. This time it is large
warehouse which is under construction
and il will be located on the lot north
of Mill No. 2 between the main track
and siding of the Pere Marquette rail
road. The new building will be 40X100
and consist of a basement and one story
above and will be used as general
warehouse by the company. 1t is to
be built of brick and cement and like
all of the NS buildings put up by
this COMPANY ,Sill be an ornament TO
the Silk City.
There are several dwelling houses
being built by +. M: Parney, and the
Methodists are contemplating building
a parsonage adjoining the church, the
plans for which have already been
drawn.
Frank Hudson's new house on Bridge
street is nearing completion, and the
carpenters have made a good showing
on Bert Halls new house on Pearl ST.,
each of which will be fine dwellings.
VIM. Wilson is building neat farm
residence just south of the city Many
houses are being repaired and the pro-
perty slicked up in fine shape, among

these are George w. Gotta, M. Y. Gep-
hart, George Holmes, w. L. Cusser,
AL Weaver and others.
Many rods of new cement walks are
being laid and together with the inn
provements at the park and the water
works there will be activity all along
the line this summer.
The Banner is glad To welcome such
evidences of prosperity in our city and
only wishes that some one with capital
could be prevailed upon to utilize some
of the vacant lots around the city for
the building of more new dwelling
houses in as much as the growth of
our city is retarded considerably by
the lack of houses To rent.

ANTI-CIGARETTE DAY
Sunday Schools all Over the Coun-
try Will Observe Ii

Next Sunday June ~ has been sci
apart by the National committee hav-
ing ii in charge as the day for making a
strong appeal through the Sunday
schools against the cigarette habit. The
smoking of cigars, cigarettes and pipes
by the youth is getting TO be a serious
problem and measures are being taken
TO make strong fight aginst the habit
The Michigan anti-cigarette bill aims
at saving boys until attainment of
their majority, from the practice of an
evil that has taken deep root in this
country. The bill provides that moth
ing but genuine tobacco shall enter the
manufacture of cigarettes, and il forbids
the sale of poisonous paper TO minors.
While il was desired by those inter
ested in the health and welfare of Mich
igan boys that more protective safe
to save the youth from premature
graves, still parents and guardians
should feel thankful for any legal en-
actment that will prevent boys from
obtaining cigarettes either at cigar
store or from the hands of others who
are not tobacco dealers.
1t is not difficult TO pick out in the
street cigargette fiend Dull, lusterless
eyes, blanched cheeks, vacant stare,
nervous of the body and difficult OF
remembrance are physical penalties
which the habitual cigarette smoker
brings on himself. If he must indulge
in the poison, he must suffer for his
rashness.

we're shipping out early apples from
Lawrence by the car load. This year
we have not shipped a barrel. The
early apple crop was almost a COM
plete failure.
"There will be a fair crop OF late
apples over this section of the state,
but very few will be shipped out,
over in Missouri the same conditions
exist. The early apple crop was a
complete failure, with prospects for
fair late apple crop.

bushels from the four large orchards
we purchased yesterday. 1t may run
a little over this, but not much.
1.-THE price is hard to estimate at
this time of the year, but the people
of Kansas will have to pay the
highest price for apples this winter
that they have in years. At the
least estimate, would put the price
at $3.50 bushel for good apples
and would not be at all surprised
to see this price run up as high as
So per bushel.'
