THE NEW MEMBER OF THE BOARD
One of the tamest school meetings
held in Belding in many years was the
one held ut the new Union School
Building last Monday evening. Per-
haps the continued heat had something
TO do with the lack of attendance or

Members of the Board of Education for
the next three years, Mr.. Hall to succeed
himself and Mr.. Armstrong TO succeed
f. I'll. Hudson who declined TO run
again.
The Board Recommended the raising
of $4,000 by direct tax and asked for
authority to borrow $4,000 at the close
of the year if necessary, which was
RIduUcus lhOy aioO viz
raising of 81, 500 by school bonds which
proposition required the use of the
ballot. AT the close of the ballot it was
found that the proposition had been
carried, the vote standing twenty-eight
in favor of bonding and one against the
proposition.
f. A. Bush asked the district TO place
retaining wall along the North side
of the school lot TO protect him agains
the rush of waters that follow every
rain and on being put TO vote th'
proposition was carried unanimously
On the whole it was really one of tn,
tamest school meetings in the histor.
of the district. The total disbursement
for running the city schools last yea
was ST., 1926 the estimates for mex
year is SIS, 1000.

''PEEP" UPSON HAPPY
His Black Mare IL. c. > Wins Three
Straights Heats at Bay
City, Tuesday


Peep" Upson has il smeared all over
some of the Belding sports this week.
Tuesday, he and Al Wells went To Bay
City TO see his black mare, az. e. +"
make her debut in the short ship
races. Just as they were getting on the
train several of the local sports bantered
them by saying they would bet two to
one that the mare would not get in the
money. Peep took all the bets he
could in the few minutes before he had
to get on the train and was sorry he
had no longer time tG wait on them.
The sporting page of the Grand
Rapids Herald broke the news TO his
friends Wednesday morning when il
showed that l.. e.. had won three
straight heats in the 2:2S trot and Won
first money. Time by heats 2, ,23i, 2:2lI
and 2:20l.
While Upson is TO be congratulated
on the success of his mare still there is
an unfortunate feature to be considered
when IL is known that the driver put
The mare out of her class in each one of
the three heats She will now have 10
get into faster company and her record
for the future will probably not show

STILL OPPOSED
To RECIPROCITY
Senator Smith Speaks Against
1t In The Senate
EXPLAINS HIS POSITION
Will Not Vote To Tear Down For
Revenge, Nor Play
Politics

William Alden Smith of Michigan
immaculatein in white fiannels, reused tn,
sweltering senate from its lethargy this
afternoon by ringing protection
speech. Ii was just before the first ol
the numerous Cummings amendments
to the Canadian reciprocity pact was
brought 10 vote. Senator Smith rose to
explain his position in opposing amend
ments TO the measuxe TO which he has
already announced his opposition. He
said
"The foreign commerce of the United
States is more then 800. per second,
more then $4,000, 900, 900 year, but it
is but drop in the ocean To the de-
mestic commerce created by our pro-
tective policy"
at is not the foreign commerce nor
the domestic commerce that induces the
manufacturer TO build additions 10 his
factory; that lead he farmer TO reclaim
his waste lands. 1t is domestic COM
merce that fills the savings banks and
lights the home with happiness.

measure conceived in anger and passed
in a spirit of revenge. l do not pro-
pose TO soil my hands with tearing
down this tariff wall of protection"
''There is not a prosperous nation but

Even Canada has a protective policy
equal TO ours and in some respects
surpassing ours.
ave are now battering down our wall
in the name of mere fiction. Does
any one imagine that free print paper
is going TO come into the United States
cheaper than il is now? If so he has
another guess coming. If Canadian
reciprocity passes Canada fully expects
to market her products in this country
at the prices now prevailing in this
country. And l do not propose by my
vote TO raze this tariff wall that means
so much to our country. l want the
wheels of American industry to turn.

shine. / want this policy that has al
