MAKE 1T FELONY
FOR NON SUPPORT

AT the recent meeting of Prosecut-
ing Attorneys held in Lansing, as
chairman of the legislative committee,
ex-Prosecuting Attorney w. S. Foster
of Lansing, urged endorsement of more
stringent non support laws. "The
man who deserts his children is a far
worse enemy of civilized society than a
burglar" said Mr.. Foster. "The law
certainly ought to make it felony for
a man to fail to support his children by
the payment of alimony after divorce
1t would help considerable in the So
luton of the divorce question to so pro-
vide that Immediately after the award
Of alimony for innocent children, their
father could not hurry across the state
border and escape all further liability" !"

"Paid i'm Full" is the greatest and
most popular play ever produced in
America. All last season, beginning
in August, 1910, and continuing until
last May, five companies appeared in
"Paid in Fulln all over the United
States. This same number is going
over the country again this year. This
adds chapter TO theatrical history
never before written. IL shows con-
clusively that "Paid in Fullp occupies
place in public attention no other
play has held. 1t has been played as
many as five and six times in cities In
Vulnerable, and is wonderful illus
tration Of its tremendous appeal that
every instance the audience have been
larger each time IL has returned.
Therefore its coming TO this city on
Tuesday, January 10Th, will awaken

THREE HUNTERS
LOST IN WOODS

The first OF the week three Of our
staiwart young postoffice employees,
Edward Webster, Birnie strunk and
Sumner Wilson took horse and buggy
and drove out in the vicinity Of Ravell's q
mill for days hunting. They left
their rig ~ George Kavells and started
out on foot In their search for game.
Every thing went well until, tired and
footsore, they decided TO return home.
Right here hangs the tale. When they
got ready 10 return 10 their rig they dis
covered they had lost their bearing,
and In other words, were lost in the
wilderness. How long they wandered
about they do not care to say but when
at last they found road they were a
mile and half from Ravelrs.
At home the wives OF the three hunt
ers were worrying greatly over their
long absence and IL 10 said shat they al
most burnt up the telephone wire be-
tween here ard the mill trying to locate
them. II is said that Peep Upson has
kindly volunteered TO loan them his
compass when they go out again to
avoid q recurrence of the same kind.

HOW TO USE
GAS COKE

Kindle the fire in the usual way, and
when fairly burning fill up with plenty
Of Coke. Keep a large body Of Coke
under low fire rather than a little
Coke under strong fire. To keep a
low fire close the draft openings in the
lower part OF the front of the furnace,
keep the slide in the feed door open and
the damper In the chimney pipe almost
entirely closed. The damper should be
opened only when kindling new fire.
Keep layer of ashes on the crate, and
when shaking stop before Goals appe ar.
This helps to keep the Coke burning
lower. Do not allow ashes to pile up
under the CRATE 30 as to touch it.
To bank fire for the night fill up
full with Coke, and, IL necessary, throw
on coke-screenings or ashes TO fill up
open spaces.
Thirty per cent cheaper than hard
coal.
Fifty per cent less ash TO carry out.
Quick heat in the morning. Lasts
longer than hard coal.
Price $3.50 per ton, delivered.

Movement On Foot To Form
A Company For Handling
The Farm Products
MEETING AT SMYRNA
Propose To Establish Headquarters
There-Report OF Prelim-
mary Organization

Many farmers of this vicinity met al
Smyrna on Wednesday of last week tC
consider the question of whether there
should be farm produce company or
ganized at Smyrna for the betterment
of present market conditions.
The meeting was largely attended,
was presided over by Ed. Insley and
much enthusiasm manifested.
Addresses explanatory of the pur-
poses of the proposed organization were
made by Messrs. Thompson and Mar
vim of the Cleaner clearing house at
Detroit. At the close of their remarks
the proposition was discussed by many
of the farmers present. All seemed to
be much in favor of such an organiza-
tion and declared it to he necessary if
stable market snd fair prices we're
to be maintained for the farmers in
this vicinity.
That the farmers are in earnest CO..
cerning this movement was shown by
the way they named the amounts they
would put up for stock in the new enter
prise, subscriptions aggregating 5000
being guaranteed.
A committee composed of the follow
ing farmers was appointed to perfect
plans for permanent organization and
TO call the next general meeting: N.
P. Werner, Clyde Day, Ed, Carpenter,
Ed. Insley, Walter Reeves. John
Bookey, Ed. Condor and Fred Scheidt.
This committee has held a meeting
at which was appointed sub-commit-
tee whose duty it is to draft consti
tuition and articles of agre ement. A
committee was also appointed to con-
slider and report upon the cost of site,
building and equipment.
The next general or public meeting
will be held at Smyrna in the Maccabee
hall at l o'clock Saturday afternoon,
Jan. 6, 1912. Every farmer who possi-
bly, can should make it point to at
tend.

A BIG MYSTERY SALE
E. c. Lloyd, Our Popular Dry Goods
Man, has Got the People
Guessing

Large Flaming posters were issued
from this office this week bearing the
words "Forerunner Salen and convey.
ing in mysterious way the informa-
tion that the great sale was forerun-
ner Of something Of stupenduous inter
est to the people Of Belding and the
surrounding country.
Just what that mysterious something
is has already got the people guessing
and guessing hard. Even the Banner
with its recognized ability TO solve
seemingly unsolvable problems is as
deeply surrounded in the mystery as
are the people themselves.
w. advise everybody to get one of
those big bills, or turn to the inside OF
this paper and read every word Of the
announcement conveyed therein, for
beside the secret mystery which it con-
tains, there is such marvellous array
OF price reductions told in that big
advertisement that as one woman re-
marked "people will wish they had a
hundred dollars to spend at this great
sale"
There is no department in this great
store that is exempt in the price slash
ing business and, whatever the mystery
attached to the game of stock reducing
may be, there is certainly a matter of
dollar-saving TO be found in every line
that will draw the ladies of this city
and vicinity TO this great sale like flies
are drawn TO the molasses barrel.
There are bargains offered in this
sale that ought to drawpeople TO Beld-
ing from far and near, and the Banner
Is certain that there will be crowd
here from the minute the sale opens.
There are gifts offered during the sale
absolutely free and the women will
certainly be there to get the free offer
ings as well as the bargains.
