1T is SWEEPING
THE COUNTRY

"We are succeeding in getting
Christianity out of cold storage, the
Men and Religion Forward Movement
is sweeping the country. Results SO
far have been highly satisfactory.
This is the gist of statement made
by Henry Rood, publicity secretary Of
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment, which was recently launched in
Minneapolis, South Bend, Ind, Grand
Rapids, Mich. and Detroit, and which
will be carried through seventy-six
cities in this country and Canada be-
tween now and next May. According
to Mr.. Rood, who has just returned
from the west, there are interested in
the movement as nearly as can be
estimated between 100000 and 6,0OO,-
600 men and boys, a larger number
than have taken part in and other one
effort of the kind since the crusades OF
the middle ages, with the single ex-
ception of the reformation.

YOUR MERCHANTS
FOR SQUARE DEAL

You never ordered one-dollar light
ming rod from your home merchant
and then found your note for 800 in
the bank next day as a result You
never paid him $50 for a range that
warped out of shape in six months
without your wife getting the money
back. He never charged you $75 for a
"trailer" buggy that you found out
afterwards could be bought anywhere
for $50. Fellows let us give the home
merchants credit for what he has done
and is doing for us. He is a teacher
whose school is open TO us twelve
months every year. He keeps US in
formed about the progress of the world
by bringing its latest and best offering
To our door. While we are occupied
with our work he searches the world
over for things that will add TO our
comfort or profit and keep them on
display so that we can see them when
ever we choose and become educated to
their value and use. He protects us
against fraud and deceit. He stands
for the square deal.

TOOK CHANGES
AND LOST OUT

Bert Hackathorn, proprietor, and
Charles Stewart, clerk of the Muir
hotel, were in court Saturday in Ionia
on warrants charging them with violat-
ing the local option law. Sheriff Tay-
lor confiscated barrel of beer bottles
and small quantity of liquor. Both
gave bail to appear for examination
December lst. These fellows undoubt-
ably thought they could over ride the
law in regard to illegal liquor selling in
the county and not get caught at it,
but the "blind pig" wouldn't stay
blind, his squealing gave himself
away as it always will and the officers
pounced upon him. These fellows had
beer and whiskey shipped to them from
Grand Rapids and sold it out in flag
rant violation Of the law.
1t is poor policy and extremely bad
judgement on the part of any person to
take chances along this line, il imme-
diately puts them in the criminal class
and the officers of the law are liable at
any minute TO ''get wise' and make a
raid. 1t is hoped no one in Belding
will take chances like the Muir fellows

WANTS MONEY
BACK AGAIN

Mrs. Flora Terwilliger Sturgis seems
TO be making it interesting for her late
husband who got divorce from her a
few weeks ago A dispatch from Mar
shall says:
'Joseph Sturgis of Lee township,
who is credited with being the cham
pion much-married man in the state,
faces little more martial difficulty.
Mrs. Flora Sturgis, one OF his divorced
wives, has instituted suit in the circuit
court to compel her former husband TO
pay her note for S579.9l, which he
gave her for money loaned him shortly
after their marriage, Sturgis using the
funds TO pay the alimony due former
wife from whom he had just secured a
divorce.
Sturgis' first wife died and he divorc-
ed three others. The court decreed that
he give so acres of valuable land TO the
last Mrs. Sturgis who was formerly

A NJ U s Il M E N L s
Uncle Toms Cabin

The attraction at the Opera House
next Saturday night, will be Golfers
production of "Uncle Toms Cabin. y
This is by far the largest and best pro-
duction of the famous old classic that
travels. 1t presents the play in its
entirety and the scenic effects are of the
best, some idea of the production may
be gained when il is stated that twenty
different scenes are shown. The COM
pany consists of twenty-eight people.
1t is really meritous organization and
gives complete performance of the
play, that has been presented more
times than anyother in the history Of
American Theatricals.

Large Crowds Came to Town
Last Saturday, to do
Trading
MERCHANTS WERE BUSY
Success of Inovation Prompts Bus
mess Men to Continue il Monthly
Local Promoters will
Push Ii

There was large crowd of people in
the city last Saturday all of them bent
on doing trading of some sort or another
attracted here by the Special Bargain
Day offers held out by the merchants.
Nearly every business house in the
city felt the effects of advertisements
given out by the merchants that Satur-
day would be bargain day and buyers
would benefit by the special prices
given.
People who had never been here TO
trade before were in the city and went
home much pleased with the cordiality
shown them, by the merchants and
their clerks, and quality and prices of
goods purchased.
Its success demonstrated that con-
cert of action on the part of our bus
mess men and merchants through
judicious advertising in the newspapers
bring results every time.
Already, on account of the splendid
results of Bargain Day, it is proposed
to make it a monthly feature in Beld-
ing and the last Saturday in each
month il is said will be dated for the
event. Instead of an outside promoter
a local man will work it up. 1t is
good thing push it along.

A NEW PARTY
MAY Be FORMED
Prohibitionists To Drop Out
Conference To Be Held
In Chicago To Take
Action
TIME RIPE FOR CHANGE
Amalgamation With Progressives
Among Republicans and Demo-
Gratis Also Socialists In A
New National Party

That the national conference 10 be
held in Chicago, December 5, for an ex-
haustive discussion of the liquor ques-
ton will resolve itself into movement
to unite the "progressives" of the Re-
publican, Democratic and Prohibition
parties into n new party is the belief of
h. w. Corbett OF Lansing, member of
the National Prohibition committee
and gubernatorial candidate on the
state ticket in the last election.
"The time is ripe" he declares, "or
histoy TO repeat itself. The Prohibi-
tion party has been fighting for the
abolition of the liquor traffic tifty-two
years and it would not surprise me if
the party disappeared in the near
future, as did the Whig party before it
the Whig which fought slavery.
"The impression is that its member
ship will unite with the progressive
Democrats and progressive Republi-
cans in the organization of new
NATIONAL or perhaps 'Union' party en-
bracing in its platform the chief planks
Of the Prohibition party and other re-
forms for which the people of the
country are said TO be .clamoring.
"The meeting next month at Chicago
will be attended by fully 200 Repub
licans, Democrats and Prohibitionists

can't do it because they cannot pene-

Why not try a PROVEN REMEDY?
One that will do this. We have a
remedy that will rid the scalp of
germ life and in this way will cure
DANDRUFF and ITCHING SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, a clean, re-

goes right to the seat of the trouble
and drives the germ life to the sur
face and destroys it.
A shampoo with ZEMO (ANTISEP-

exactly what we claim for it.
