BAD FIRE At STANTON

MONTCALM HERALD LOSER
Lack Of Water Supply Threatened Destruction
OF the City.

Two persons were injured and the
Tower building, the chief business
block of the town, was totally de-
stroyed Sunday afternoon when fire
broke out in Stanton, the county seat
Of Montcalm county. The total loss
is between 10000 and $4,000, some OF
which is covered by insurance.
With the water supply exhausted
one hour after the fire was first dis
covered, at 2:3O o'clock, and no ade-
quate means of fighting the flames,
the residents of Stanton battled hero
ically against the progress of devast-
alton all afternoon, until at o'clock
the strong west wind which had fan
ned the flames all afternoon, gradual
ly died down and an easterly breeze
came TO the aid of the exhausted fire
fighters. To this change of wind
can be credited the saving of the re-
mainder of the business section, as
at o'clock another blaze had been
discovered in an adjoining building
only to be extinguished.
The heaviest loser in the fire was
the firm of F. +. Strouse & Son, gro

VALENTINO PARTY
Last Saturday Evening at the Home
Of Miss Lois Fraker.,
LOCAL CITY TEACHERS PRESENT
Supt. Ellsworth Secured Prize In feart-Stabbing
Contest, hut was Tied by Maxwell.

In response TO invitations the
school teachers of the city together
with Supt Ellsworth gathered at the
home of Miss Lois Fraker on West
Superior street last Saturday evening
and enjoyed the hospitality of the
hostess in an evening OF merriment
The fact that the gathering was
held Feb. 14th furnished the reason
for the guests enjoying a valentine
party with hearts galore.
The first on the program required
the guests to sketch pictures char
acteristic of one another; and after
this a prize was awarded the one
guessing the largest number of names
OF the artists subjects. In this, Miss
Allene Brown proved efficient, guess
ing correctly Il Of the % or 23 drawn
and to her was awarded the prize.
Hearts had been carefully secreted
around the rooms i'll every conceiv-
able place and to the one securing
the largest number prize was to be
given. In this event, Miss Tropp
proved the winner, having 65 hearts
to her credit when the count was
made
Possibly the event of the evening
was the Heart Stabbing," in which
to test craftsmanship a large red
heart had been pinned in location and
the guests, provided with darts, were
TO attempt to penetrate the center of
the heart. In this event Supt. Ellis
worth and Floyd Maxwell tied for
honors; Mr. Ellsworth, however, was
awarded the prize, beautiful Bill
ken, as a memento of the occasion.
Later in the evening two-course
luncheon was served AS a proof of
the good time it is only necessary to
say that it lacked only few short
minutes of Sunday morning when the
guests departed for their various
homes.

Bill Proposed in Legislature to Affect
the Telephone Companies.
RESULT OF MANY PROTESTS
Fine or Imprisonment for Officer of Any CON-
pany Who Seeks to To Collect BeiOra Service

A Lansing dispatch of February
Is, to the Saginaw Evening News,
said:
The legislature proposes TO take
up the matter of advanced payment
of telephone rentals and to make il
unlawful for any person or partner
ship or corporation to collect for tel
ephone service before such service
has been rendered.
This proposal comes from the city
OF Jackson, which with Kalamazoo
Grand Rapids, Saginaw and Detroit
have been stirred by a movement to
compel the telephone companies to
furnish service before they demand
payment. Rep Wood, of Jackson is
author of the bill
The bill is short and to the point
1t reads; ANY person, persons or
officers, agents or employees of any
telephone exchange service, within
this state who shall demand or re-
ceive from any person payment for
such telephone service before the
same is rendered and as a condition
for rendering the same shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon convic-
tion shall be punished by a fine of
not exceeding 500 of by imprison-
ment in Jail for a term not exceeding
90 days or by both such fine and i'm
prisonment.'
