CONVERSE---THROOP
The Mystery Was Solved Last Thurs
day By A Church Wedding
Fine Reception

When Frank +. Converse purchased
the beautiful Hicks home on Broas ST.,
people wondered and whispered and
did some hard thinking. Then when
the Misses Annie and Eva Throop pro-
ceeded To move into the home and
occupy it, fitting il up beautifully,
people nodded their heads in wise
way, and yet were not quite as sure as
they wished they were. Then Mr..
Converse came from Chicago, and
seemed to take a very great interest in
the girls, helping them in very substan-
tial ways to fix up the home, and the
mystery deepened. But early Thurs
day morning, August II, the bells be-
gan TO ring out, and friends came to the
Methodist church. AT eight o'clock
the mystery was solved when Mr..
Underwood with his car brought the
couple TO the church, and bowling at
the altar OF the church they loved, Mr..
Frank Converse and Miss Phebe Annie
Throop were united in the bonds of holy
matrimony by the pastor, Rev. G. w.
Maxwell.
Miss Edna Maxwell played the
march, and beautiful response was
sung after the closing prayer. Then
Mr.. Underwood took the party TO their
new home where congratulations were
received, and Mr.. and Mrs. Unger had
prepared sumptuous breakfast. The
out of town guests were, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred +. Converse Of Ionia, Mrs. j. F.
Barclay and Mrs. Melissa Converse OF
Chicago, George Converse and Howard
Peck of Keene, John Converse of Gay
lord, Mrs. walter Rich of Ionia and
Miss Laura Throop of Delta. DR.. and
Mrs. Pinkham, DR.. Little, and few OF
their many Belding friends were pres
ent. They were remembered with
many beautiful presents, and all had
very enjoyable time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Converse left Friday
for Yellowstone Park, Montana, and
other points in the west, and will be at
home TO their friends at 209 s. Broas st.
October lst. They are both well known
in Belding and very highly esteemed.
They have the very best wishes of all.

locations including the City Park,
that the driving park grounds was the
only available one for the purpose and
which would afford room for all the
the different line of sports. w. G..
Spicer generously rendered the free use
of the grounds and will assist in every
way together with the committee of
arrangements to make the large crowd
which is sure TO be there as welcome
rs possible, no admission fee will be
charged to the grounds or any of the
amusements.

Are Needed Very Much---
County Road System
The Best
PROGRESS DEMANDS 1T
Kent And Montcalm Counties Getting
Started Let Ionia Join
The Procession

The agitation of the good roads ques-
ton through the press is doing good,
says ID. &. Crawford. But one cannot
weary in we'll doing, and il will require
constant effort TO make the people
understand fully the Importance ofgood
roads in economic value, and the econo-
my of proper methods in road construc-
ton. There is probably no one thing,
with any pretense TO usefulness, on
which larger per cent OF the money
expended has been wasted than on roads.
Everybody knows this, and yet reform
comes slowly. 1T is a qualification,
however, TO find that actual progress is
being made, in Ionia county as we'll as
elswhere.
/ notice that some of the townships
are doing good work; some fair work,
and some very poor work. 1 would
like to see Ionia county take up the
County road system. When this is
done, then we will have good roads all
over the county; roads built on uni
form plan, according to the best system
Of construction. Kent county has lately
adopted this system, and large num-
ber of counties have been working
under it for some years, with excellent
results.
Montcalm county, with already con-
siderable number of miles of State
reward road, is still pushing ahead fol-
more. Douglass township builds two
miles this season, and Eureka Tin which
Greenville is located) starts work on
ten miles this week. Other towns are
moving toward the same purpose.
| hope another year TO see Ionia
county come to the front with several
main lines like the Bellevue road.

NEW SCHOOL LAWS
Washington and Lincoln Birthdays
No Longer Holidays. Changes
in Primary Money.

| ~
The Michigan State Legislature
enacted several new amendments to the
school laws. One provides that no dis
trict shall receive more primary money
| until the amount of such money on
hand is reduced so that it shall provide
for teachers wages for only two years
in advance. The money goes into other
disticts having a smaller surplus or
none. The new primary law fund
amendments goes into effect i'm 1912.
The usual appointments made in May
thereafter there will be one apportion-
ment for the entire year, made from
July 8 to Is. All the money can be
collected for the whole year before the
school opens.
Some of the other laws are as follows:
The school census for 1912 will be taken
twenty days before June l, not the first
Monday in June as in vogue at the
present time. The school commissioner
shall appoint the county truant officer
instead of the sheriff. The officer has
power in looking after school buildings.
The commissioner has the authority
to appoint clerk with salary of not
more than 5000 per year where there
are more than 100 schools in the county.
On Columbus day, Lincoln's and
Washington's birthdays, school shall
be kept and patriotic exercises held.
None of them shall be holidays. Funds
shall be condensed to three, namely;
primary, library and general. There
shall be fourth fund known as the
building fund.
Another school law that must be
needed reads: "Previous TO the first
Monday in August in each year the
trustees, AS the case may be, of each
graded school district i'm this state shall
cause to be published in a newspaper
in said district or in such county in
which district is located, such news
paper TO be designated by board of edu-
cation, complete statement of the
proceedings of the annual school meet
ing and an ltemized financial statement
OF the receipts and expenditures OF said
districts during the preceding school
year, the expense of said publication to
be paid out of the general fund of the
district"

The Ancient Oraeles.

Herodotus mentions between seven
ty and eighty oracles Of one sort and
another. There is no reason for think.
ing that the people who patronized
the oracles had other than the hveliest
faith In them. The two great oracles
were those at Delphi and Dodona,
though there were several others that
stood well with the people. The pre-
dictions were. of course. nothing but
predictions. since 1t is now generally
understood that the promoters Of
those famous institutions were only
ordinary human beings like those who
patronized them. The deliverances Of
the oracles belong to one OF two
classes-f1rst, those founded on secret
information and, second, those in
which the oracle had absolutely no
ideas on the subject and took refuge
in sheer vagueness. 1t was the faith
Of the people rather than the infalli-
bility Of the oracles that kept them
Up so long.
