Little Raymond Langford, son Of
Claude and Hattie Langford, died Sun.
day morning at 1880 and the funeral
service was held at the home on r.
Ellis on Monday, at 2 p. m, Rev. u.
w. Maxwell officiationg. Raymond
was two years five months and ten
days old and was the sweetest little
fellow, always SO good, and though he
was young in years yet so conscientious
in his life, often saying he would not
do such and such things because they
were naughty. He loved to go to the
chapple TO Sunday School, but this
Sunday morning he went home to
heaven and spent the day with the
redeemed.
The parents are grief stricken and
well they may be for Raymond was an
angel that would grace the most luxu-
rant palace earth ever built.
The text was "Whas / do now We
know not but We shall know hereafter"
Job 1877, adding just few comforting
words and read portion OF Mrs. May
Riley Smiths poem "Sometime" and
the precious body was laid to rest in
beautiful Riverside cemetery.
One by one they step out from our
homes, but each time draws heaven Q
little nearer and makes US feel more
and more the preciousness OF Jesus,
who has secured TO us the secret OF a
continuous life. q. w. Maxwell

LET'S HAVE A
GREATER BELDING

The year 1912 has now gotten fairly
under way and business is moving
along in the good old way. Thousands
and thousands OF Uncle Sans dollars
find their way into the pockets OF our
toiling population every two weeks and
there is seeming air of contentment
in the whole city atmosphere. Little,
il any suffering has found its way into
the home of Bedding and it is ms it
should be.
But, there are still many available
factory sites scattered about the city
that could easily be utilized TO increase
the output OF dollars in our midst by
many thousands more. Why not have
them? The Banner suggests that at
this early period in the year every male
and female resident OF Bedding appoint
himself or herself "Booster," and be-
gin the campaign OF 1912 with the
slogan "a Greater Belding." IL one
class of our citizens oppose another
class in their efforts TO this end the re-
suit is only failure, but with a grand
harmonious "Pull-together" effort.
There is no reason why we can't have
bigger and greater Belding. Reader,
won't you help TO Boost for Belding
Join the booster club at once and well
all drink to the health of q Greater
1 Belding.

TO PREVENT
LIQUOR SHIPMENTS

IA nationwide campaign for fed
eral law to prohibit the interstate ship.
ment of liquor into dry territory is now
on, and this week will see four bills
before congress brought before the
Judiciary committee.
"This will raise an important legal
point as to whether bill of this char.
actor would not discriminate, and IL /,
did pass whether 1t could not be proven
unconstitutional.
"At the recent national meeting o,
the Anti Saloon league ut Washington
plans were laid TO force this issue
throughout the nation, and the Mich.
igan delegation took a leading part,
saying they would go home and bring
pressure TO bear on their congress
at is said notice already has been
served on the Michigan congressman
that they must declare themselves on
this issue and II they refuse they will
be counted opponents OF the measure
and their seats contested"
The Belding w. Z. Il. U. are circu.
iating a petition for signatures TO b.
sent 10 Senators and Representatives
asking them 10 vote for the passage OF
such law.

What He Remembered.

When a prospective voter in one O
Chicago's election districts was askes
the date of his naturalization he re
piled that he had taken out his pa
pers 30 long before that he could no
remember Just when he had becom
an American.
The officer to whom this statemen
was made was extremely thoughtfu
for moment. Then he added:
Can you remember who was tn
Republican candidate for presiden
that year?
Sure. don't remember who wa
running for prisidint.- was the re
spouse, but II was the same yea
that Stuffy McGinnis was appointe,
Dog Drownder."

Clay Keeney Writes An Interesting
Letter At His Ranch


Mataline, Wash, Jan. %, 1912
Editor, Banner:.
In your Bedding Banner dated jan
uary IL, saw an item from Seattle,
w ash. about the steel bridge over the
Box Canyon in the 1. w. N. n. II.
said bridge has been completed for over
year and enclose picture Of it
which Wayne took last summer.
When on the bridge the roar OF the
water is SO great that the coming trains
cannot be heard. was on the bridge
last summer and failed TO hear the train
until it was almost upon me, / hurried
10 one of the barrels as il was the only
place could see to stand on, got be-
hind it and watched the train go by
and not over me. did not even feel
the least jar, but do not care to re-
peat the experience.
We have had some quite severe
weather here, down to twenty-four be-
low zero but at present about thirty
above. Have had lots OF snow since
November Ist, never sight OF bare
ground since. Been between seven and
eight feet deep but few warm days
and a rain or the "chinook" took ii
down TO not over three feet. 1t never
drifts or piles up here. New Years day
we all went to Mataline, eight miles,
to spend the day. There had been a
heavy snowfall two days before and
no trail broken.
Everyone here uses . long home
made sled called Ego devil" to draw
stuff in, can get more on than on q
horses back. They use them summer
rs well as winter for things too big Il
pack on horse. The sled has handles
fastened to the rear so one can hold Il
TO the trail like we would pillow. w,
put the children on the 60 devil, the wo
men went horseback but we men walk
ed.
No accidents that day but when W,
tried to take down load OF wood, W,
found it not SO easy. The trail Is very
narrow and in some places very clos,
to the edge of the bank. We tipped
over at least dozen times but the wood
only rolled down the bank five times
was all. The brush was so thick il
couldent go far, but imagine yourself
wading through snow six feet deer
down an almost perpendicular bank
carrying up sticks of four foot wood
piling it on sixteen inch sled and you
have an idea how much fun il was
] think you would find that q hal
cord was quite load enough.
We get the paper every week, oil

A MILLION STARVING APPEAL
 FOR AID.

Despite every effort a million help less flood victims are being carried away by the famine in East China. The region is accessible to relief, and those of us who broke up the pre- viOus famine with American relief know the present situation can be met if funds sufficient to equip the missionaries are contributed at once Relief goes forward by cable as but forty days remain until the tragedy will, if not prevented, be over On the 27th of March the American min ister at Pellin cabled the following to our state department at Washington:
