INTERESTING LETTER
FROM CALIFORNIA

Turlock, Cal, March 10, 1914
We lived in Bedding about fifteen
years. We have many friends there
and like TO get the Banner so we can
hear from them. But we never wish
to live in the east again, for we think
this is the place to live. We like the
climate so much better here. Every
thing looks fine now, you cap almost
see things grow. Children are going
barefooted Nights it is cool and nice,
but the days are warm.
The first two years we were here l
don't think there was a day but what
the sun shown. This winter we have
had lots of rain, but everyone is glad
to see the rain.
We are on a dairy ranch and are
milking from thirty to forty cows. The
stock have run out to pasture all
winter. We have had but little frost
this year.
Send the paper as usual TO ]. c..

EIGHTY-FOUR BIRTHS
AND SEVENTY DEATHS

Statistics compiled by city clerk, Ed.
ID. Engemann, on the number of
deaths and births in the city the last
year shows the following facts. There
We're seventy deaths, and eighty-fo four
births. II would also be interesting
TO know that, OF the seventy deaths
forty-five Of the deceased were males,
and OF the eighty-four babies born on
ly seventeen were males. These fig
ures seem TO indicate that the male
population of Belding will need to be
more closely cherished in the future
or the sex will become extinct af-
ter few years. IL the birth rate of
our city was the only source of in
crease to the population il would be
many years before we would become a
metropolis.

Freight Not Always on Time.

In telling about the moving picture
shows in the town a neighboring ex-
change has the following to say:
We hear that at the moving picture
theater one evening there was thrown
on the screen q view of a group OF
young ladies preparing to disrobe and
go i'm bathing in a sheltered lake in
the background. Just as they started
to undress a long freight train came
along the track between the camera
and the bathers. BY the time II had
passed the young ladies were in their
bathing suits and in the lake. At the
close OF the evenings performance at
the theater a man hurried out TO the
box office and throwing down a bill
demanded seat for every night dur
ing the balance OF the week. II will
be glad to sell them TO YOU" explained
the man in the ticket window, but
we show the same pictures every night
this week" IT know you do" replied
the prospective purchaser. but I'm
an old railroad man and / know that
freight train Is not going to be on
time every night"

Needed a Change.

Mrs. Mason came from her city
home TO spend a few weeks in the
country town where she had lived
when a girl. One morning, while out
for walk, she met a man who In
former days had been "a schoolmate,
and stopped for a chat.
why, Charlie" she said, your
father must be getting well on in
years"
Yes" replied the man, hes close
on to eighty-nine."
And does he enjoy good health %
enquired the woman.
NO" said the man, 'he hasn't
been right pert for some time"
What seems to be the trouble with
him?" she asked.
We'll, I dunno" was the answer.
II guess farmin' don't agree with him
any more"

their hair.
