A Grand Surprise

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. y. Gephart have
travelled along in double harness for the
past thirty-one years and last Monday
was the anniversary of the eventful
day. In some way the matter leaked
out and few friends got hold of the
fact and planned and executed sur
prise on the happy couple, which
proved the surprise of their lives. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Gephart were down
town for the evening, and when they
returned home found about thirty Of
their friends assembled for the pur-
pose of giving them proper surprise.
The evening was spent in playing
pedro and in social intercourse. Fine
refreshments were served and beauti-
full cut glass sugar bowl and pitcher
was lett with them as mementoes of
the joyous event.

w. G.. Il. u. Notes

Rev. A. p. Doyle, who is priest in
in charge of one of the best known
Catholic parishes of New York City,
at the corner of 59th street and 9th
avenue, probably knows the saloon
at its best and at its worst as well
as any other man in the United States.
Most of Father Doyle's parishioners are
working people, and it is in behalf
of that class that he has been stirred
to most heroic efforts in opposition to
the saloon.
81 believe that in laboring TO create
an antipathy against the saloon," says
Father Doyle in the course of recent
article touching his experience, 81 am
doing good thing for the commun-
ity at large. | believe that the more
odium ! can cast on the business of
saloonkeeping, the more l will protect
the defenseless wives and helpless chill
dren and the cheerless homes of the
victims OF drink. The more | en-
deavor To create a public opinion
against the liquor traffic 10y telling
of lis iniquities by painting ii as il
really is, responsible for much of the
poverty and misery of our modern
life, | am guarding the best interests
of the people"
Father Doyle's words and his work
give emphatic denial TO the statement
sometimes made that Catholic priests
are not in symathy with anti-saloon
efforts. Some of the most effective
local option workers in Michigan are
Catholic priests.

Patron Saint of Christmas-tide
Views Windows
TELLS OUR READERS
OF His Observations While on a
Visit Here-Window Displays
Very Fine Indeed

Editor OF the Belding Banner:-Whilt
i'm Belding this week l took occasion
To look over the window displays shown
by the enterprising business men o.
the city who have taken the contract
To act as my agent during the busy
rush which always comes to me al
this season Of the year, and cannot
refrain from asking you to allow me
little space in your valuable paper
TO note the observations made at the
time. And l can say the Silk City
is the proper place to do Christmas
shopping.
My attention was especially called
TO the beautiful windows OF the Metro
politan where my friend Charlie Fried
man had made display so beautiful
and attractive that l almost hated to
pass it by. Red, white and green, with
slight sprinkling of orange were the
prevailing colors, and the line OF
Christmas goods shown would make
man wish he were millionaire.
AT f. &. Lloyd's store Harry Dim
mick had pair of beautiful windows
displaying the Bethlehem star and the
snowy cross were most suggestive of
the Yule-tide hour, and interior decora-
uons made the store bower of beauty.
AT A. b. Hull's / noticed that nv
young friend Hal Burris had again
shown his dexterity as a window
dresser and the cavern OF snow with
numerous icicles hanging down made
me think that | was home again in
the Businesses of my Greenland home.
Cut glass, silver and gold and decor
ated china made the scene one long
TO be remembered.
AT the Hub, Orba Mccoy has GER
tainly made a showing that is SEEM
ingly irresistible. White, red and
green vie with each other for sup
remacy, and the magnificent outlay
of gifts for men and boys made me
glad that l had made Messrs. Divine
d Greenop special agents for Belding
and vicinity.
Peck, the shoe man, offered me
many delightful suggestions for gifts
in the beautiful window displays so
carefully arranged by Will Peck. Red

A Birthday Party

Miss Olive Smith reached the age OF
sweet sixteen on Friday, Dec. 20, and
inasmuch as an event of that kind only
comes once in a lifetime TO young
lady, her sister, Mrs. Frank Pinkney,
gave her a party in honor of the event
There were y in attendance and the
evening was passed in playing games
and enjoying life generally. A number
of fine gifts were left with the young
lady as mementoes of the occasion and
all present joined in wishing her many
happy returns of the day.

and white were the chosen colors fol
the display, while sprigs OF holly made
the scene more delightful. Inside, the
handsome slipper bower made me STOP
! and take notice.
One of the most unique displays was
that shown in the Foster-Welch Co.
window, where i found counterpart
of myself busily engaged in answering
questions sent TO me over The phone.
Then there were pianos, rockers, fancy
tables, ETC., which made delightful
inducement for the man or woman
in search of Christmas gifts.
Orlo Morse Il Go. had their large
window nicely decorated with red
and white and trailing vines and a
facial view of myself, while on a
crimson ribbon in letters Of gold APP
peared the greeting "Merry Christmas" +"
and numerous offerings of shoes, slip
pers and hosiery told the passerby of
beautiful gifts TO be found inside.
Wortley Il French also had very
attractive window filled with books,
burnt wood goods, mirrors, perfumes,
mouth organs, etc., all shown on a
handsome back ground of white.
Over on Bridge street | was pleased
at the display made by the Belding
Furniture Co. The store attracted me
by its fine interior decorations and the
beautiful display OF massive window
was surely one long remembered.
Jensen d Wheeler did not go into
window display as much this year as
common, but their east window was
very prettily arranged, with magni-
ficent Christmas bell suspended from a
chain of handkerchiefs and the ever
present holly made it very attractive,
with its fine showing of gifts so dear
to woman's heart.
At w. |. Benedict's drug store,
Charlie Knapp had found time in the
midst of his manifold duties TO fix
the big corner window up with season
able decorations and fine display of
Christmas stationery, and ! could not
help but note the many longing looks
cast that way by ladies passing by,
Wilson's Boot Shop displayed the
handiwork of Mr.. Flanders as doer
of things in window dressing line and
the shoes and slippers so tasuily ar
ranged on that frost covered bed of
snow were really most suggestive.
The Miller-Harris furniture Co. was
showing in their windows a beautiful
line of Christmas rugs aud Christmas
furniture, the ideal things for home
beautifying.
The &. ). Arnold Co. present a
splendid display of choice goods for
the holiday season and their shelves
are full of everyday wants OF their
patrons in the dry goods line.
At John Donovan's Christmas tree
and window filled with Christmas
goodies with background of colored
lights struck m forcibly. The decora-
tions at f. III. Hudson's, Lamb Bros,
Batcheler Il Browns, Wilson x Skel-
lenger's, Connell's drug store, L. f.
Ireland's, Earl Coles f. O'Bryon's,
and Unger's bakery were also all very

CHRISTMAS STAMPS
On Sale for Anti-Tuberculosis Cam
paign Fund

On Sale for Anti-Tuberculosis Cam
paign Fund
Monday, November 28th is the date
set for the opening of the 1919 Red
Crosse Christmas seal campaign, by
which means the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis association hopes to replenish
it's working fund and continue in 1911
the battle against tuberculosis waged
so aggressiyely during 1910.
Red Cross seals will he placed on
sale in every city, town and village in
Wisconsin. The price is one cent each.
1t is a handsome sticker, printed in
holiday colors. green and red, and bids
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year. Every penny derived from the
sale will be devoted to fighting con-
sumption. Already $50 enthusiastic
citizens in as many towns have come
forward to superintend the sale and
from fifteen to twenty are being added
to the list of local campaign managers
daily. A local manager is wanted in
every community.
The Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
association is out to double the great
record made last year when 2,300,0 900
stickers were disposed of. This gave
Wisconsin the worlds record for larg-
est sale in proportion to population.
All of the other states in the Union are
working to beat Wisconsin's record
and it is certain that this state will
have to double its sale this year to pre-
vent defeat.
The Red Cross seal is well worth
penny as an ornamental holiday greet
ing sticker, but it's greatest value lies
in the fact that it is a message of hope
to all the world in the battle against
consumption, and that the penny paid
for it will be used to help wipe tuber-
culosis out of Wisconsin. Every piece
of mail and every package and gift
sent during the campaign should bear
a Red Cross seal. The campaign ends
on Christmas day.

So many people, who wanted to con-

were turned away that it necessitates
an early return. He will be at the
New Gerard Saturday and Sunday,
Nov. 19 and 20. Patients who wish to
see him this time should call early.
Ladysmtih is fortunate in having a
man of his skill, reliability and judg
ment regular visitor. Hundreds of
aggravated, difficult cases, where
others have failed, have received imme-
diate relief from him.
No pains should be spared to have
children's eyes in the best possible

or with those who have been trying to
tinker so long that they hold an exemp-
tion certificate; or those who make a
side issue of selling ruinous, cheap
glasses.
DR.. Bersee's method is wonderful.
He always prescribes the celebrated
LIFE RAY lenses, and no one else in
the State of Wisconsin can furnish
them. They are guaranteed five years,
any change within that time being
made free of charge More desperate
cases of headache have been stopped
by these lenses than by any other
means known.
Owing to the alarming increase in
blindness, do not be satisfied with the
superficial examinations made by ply

call on DR.. Bersee and have your eyes
examined by the latest approved meth
ods and instruments. No atropine
used. Examination free. BAL
