UTILIZING SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Approaching the desirability of
utilizing the school buildings of Kan
Sas City, Mo, to a greater extent
than merely employing them six or
seven hours day for purposes of in
struction, the authorities recently in
augurated a plan to use them in the
evenings for community, or neigh
horhood development. In this plan,
the parents and elders are given
chief consideration. Programs of va
ried characters are given four even
ings a week, and it is said that the
community has welcomed the move
ment with great warmth.
Other cities have tried this plan
with equal success, and it seems
like national use of public build
ing. From the crowded wards of
New York City, to the sparsely set
tied districts of the Western States
each community has in its school
building a ready and permanent
means for the promotion of any plan
looking to it's advancement and pros

Lost His Clothes

A dapper young fellow came into the
city a few days ago and engaged a
room with Mrs. M. +. Wood, telling
her he was a picture agent, soliciting
for enlarging pictures. She gave him
a room adjoining one occupied by John
Carnochan and Will Pritchard.
Monday morning he got up after the
other boys had gone to their work, put
on Carnochan's best suit of clothes and
swiped a stickpin and other jewelry
from Pritchard, and left. The boys
did not discover their loss until supper
time and began an investigation to
locate the stranger. 1t was found that
he had sold his own suit, a fairly good
one, to Otto Lehman who works for
Mel Curtis, for $3.50, telling Otto that
he was broke and must have the
money TO get out of town with. 1t
is evident that the fellow is crook
and up to such tricks for living.

THE CONVENTION
IN BALTIMORE
Democrats Turn Down Bryan
For Temporary Chairman
And Elect Parker The
ReaCtiOnary
STEAM ROLLER MOVING
Outcome Problematical-Bu Ii Is
Claimed Bryan Holds Balance
OF Power-A Bolt
Probable

The eyes and ears of the nation are
turned toward Baltimore and the out.
come of the Democratic National Con-
vention is looked for anxiously. About
the same tactics and line of battle as
was in evidence at the Chicago Conven-
tion is in progress. The SO called steam
roller is moving.
William Jennings Bryan made good
his threat of personal fight against
Judge Alton B. Parker for temporary
chairman and, with himself as the
opposing candidate, lost out $40 TO 510.
Bryan, of course, was the one possible
hope, for against another candidate
Judge Parker would have had easy
sailing. AS it was, Bryan himself
could not hold his own strength, for
both California and Maryland split
away from him. Probably'the greatest
surprise OF the contest was the fact
that Senator Kern, of Indiana, allowed
himself 10 be used as preliminary
starting horse, but when Kern pleaded
for Judge Parker TO meet with him
and select third man, and failing 10
get response withdrew in favor of
Bryan, il was confession of weakness
that presaged the ultimate result.
Bryan opened the fight with the sug-
gestion that he could question the
selection of Judge Parker as the man
TO deliver the keynote of progressive
ness without attacking either his
character or good intentions. He refer
red To his own party service and declar-
ed he had supported and spoke for
Parker when he was neither satisfied
with the man nor the interests back of
him.
Many of Speaker Clark's delegates
Iopenly threw their support To the anti
Bryan forces. This was regarded rs
Iopening breach between the speaker
and the former nominee which NAV
cause the Bryan supporters TO make a
bitter fight on Clark. Taken from
another angle the vote of so many of
the Clark adherents for Judge Parker
was interpreted as distinct bid for the
Support of the conservative element in
in the convention.
Beaten on his first bid for support in
behalf of the progressive movement,
Mr.. Bryan still is q dominant factor in
this convention. BY reason of that de-
feat he appears to be eliminated as a
presidential candidate but he has suf.
ficient following TO throw the nomina-
ton in event of close race between two
candidates.
His friends declare that he will be
the nominee if there is no choices on the
first few ballots. The fight is becoming
SO bitter that bolt is looked for and an
independent ticket nominated.

Taft and Sherman Nominated
HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Clare Lewis Came Near Drowning In
Flat River, Sunday

ouindy
While in bathing at the dam near
the Chapple grist mill last Sunday
afternoon, Clare Lewis who boards at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
Lyon, was taken with cramps ard be-
fore assistance could reach him had
gone To the bottom. He was under the
water about ten minutes before those
who were with him succeeded in get
ting him out. Drs. Dutt and Hook
were summoned and worked over him
about two hours before he recovered
consciousness. After he had been resus-
citated Al Wells took him to his board
ing place in buggy. Lewis was about
seventeen years or-age and had been
working here for some time past. He
is still quite weak from his experience
but will propobly be alright again in a
few days. When he was removed
from the water he had been under the
water long enough TO turn black in the
face and it was at first thought that he
was gone beyond recall This is .
dangerous place and two children have
already met death at the same place
and efforts have been made To stop the
bathing there but seemingly to no
avail

Republican National Convention Com
plete Ticket Late Saturday
Night
ONLY ONE BALLOT TAKEN
Some of Roosevelt Forces Follow Ex-President in New
Party Scheme-His Boiling Policy not
Favored by Hadley

AS the convention was nearing its
close VIM. Jennings Bryan who was
present as "A reporter said: 1t is now
apparent To everyone, probably To no
one more painfully than Col. Roosevelt
himself, that he made serious tactical
blunder by coming To Chicago To en-
gage personally in the political brawl.
Both LaFollette and Cummins have
gained strength and prestige by hold
ing aloof from personal contact with
the fight and President Taft, playing
golf and attending ball games in w ash
ington, has made much better fight
at long distance than has Roosevelt on
the ground, with many frenzied con-
ferences, much broken furniture, dis
plays of violent anger and outburst of
spleen. These incidents may appear
heroic at distance, but TO the men on
the ground, they have been disgusting.
Col. Roosevelt would have Jared much
better had he remained in Oyster
Bay"
In his nominating speech Warren G..
Harding among other things said: 81
present TO you TO day leader who is a
composite of the virtues of all these SO
deservedly enshrined in our party
Pantheon-William Howard Taft-as
wise and patient as Abraham Lincoln,
as modest and dauntles as Ulysses >.
Grant, as temperate and peace loving as
Rutherford b. Hayes, as patriotic and
intellectual as James a. Garfield, as
courtly and generous as Chester A.
Arthur, rs learned in the law AS Ben
jamin Harrison, Us sympathetic and
brave as William Mckinley, as pro-
gressive as his predecessor, with moral
stamina, breadth of view and sturdy
manhood all his own.
Progression is not proclamation nor
palaver. 1t is not pretence nor play on
prejudice. 1t is not of personal pro-
nouns, nor perennial pronouncement
1t is not the perturbation of people
passion wrought, nor promise pro-
posed. Progression is everlastingly
lifting the standards that marked the
end of the worlds march yesterday, and
planting them on new and advanced
heights to-day. Tested by such a
standard, President Taft is the grea test
progressive of the age
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1912-06-27

After a strenuous session of six days
the Republican National Convention
held in Chicago last week re nominal
eel William Howard Taft for president
and James =. sherman for vice presi-
dent. Former President Roosevelt
Withdrew from the running and his
name was not formally presented To
the convention. He was nominated at
a boiling convention held at Orchestra
hall Immediately after the naming of
Taft.
Not unlike many other National
Conventions in the history of the re-
publican party il wrangled and disput-
ed and disagreed over contesting dele
cations, but unlike any other in its
history one of the defeated factions in
stead of acquiescing in the result left
the coliseum in a huff and declared
in favor of forming new party.
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates in the Illinois and all in the
Missouri and Ohio delegations declined
TO follow this move, but Colonel Roose-
velt's sway over the delegations from
California, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota,
Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota and West Virginia was
all but absolute.
Governor Hadley of Missouri who
was the floor leader and one of Roose-
velt's ardent supporters left Chicago
Immediately after the convention closed
and on his arrival home in jefferson
City, declared his determination not 10
join. Rooseyelt's third party movement.
~ believe can render more service TO
the people as member Of the Repub-
lican party than joining in the forma-
ton of a third party, Ne said.
"While have i'm no way changed
my mind as To the correctness of that
which | contended, | undertake TO say
that no political party ever did or ever
will exist in which at times men will
not use authority unfairly and TO ac-
complish selfish and improper ends.
"In my opinion, the best way sue
cessfullv 10 fight such men and meth
ods and also the best way in which To
fight for correct principles of govern
ment is within the party rather than
by leaving it.

Reduce Your Food Bill

Nine tenths of the heat of a coal
range cannot be used. 1t goes up the
chimney and what is the sense of pay
ing TO heat all outdoors? And did you
ever know that food cooked on a coal
range loses about 40 per cent of its
bulk? From such experiments made,
this has been proven beyond doubt.
Fully 40 per cent OF the substances con-
tained in food are lost when cooked on
a coal range Another experiment
proved that il costs about so per cent
more for fuel To cook on coal range
than il does on gas range; and besides
this already great loss, il takes fully
go per cent longer TO do the work on {
coal range. The Belding Gas Works
sells gas ranges ON easy payments.

Lost Big Barn

Last Saturday morning about five
o'clock the large barn on the farm of
John Rating of Grattan caught fire
and burned to the ground with all its
contents causing a loss of $1,000. Five
head of horses, several tons Of hay, two
hundred bushels of oats lot of farm
tools, etc. were destroyed. The fire
had gained such headway when dis
covered that nothing could be saved.
A team of horses which Mr.. Ksting
had just bought for 800 was among the
horses burned. The property was IN
