SWAMP AND MARSH
MADE |NTD IDEAL
RESIDENCE SITES

Sunday, June IA was the thirty
second wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. William Orser, living on
west Ann st. They celebrated the oc-
casion quietly at home.
Mr.. Orser has lived around and in
Bedding almost all of his life. Thirty
two years ago he went to the eastern
part of the state to be married. He
with his wife left Immediately for Ionia
county. They came to Saginaw where
they changed cars for Kiddville. The
train was supposed to arrive in Kidd
Vile about ten o'clock at night. Pas
! sengers for Bedding were driven down
from there in stage coach, as the
railroad had not been built at that
time. on this particular night the
train was late. The stage waited un-
til about twelve o'clock and then came
To Bedding. The belated train came
in about two o'clock. The night was
bright and as there was no place to
stay all night in Kiddville the home
corners walked across to the town.
Soon after they were married. Mr..
and Mrs. Orser purchased small
tract Of swamp land at the site of their
present home A small shed, used for
a furniture factory, stood on the prop
erty. This was later moved back to
make room for the new houses that
were to be built The ground was so
DOGGY that it was impossible to drive
a team onto il 10 unload the dirt as the
place was being filled in. Even man
stood chances Of going down in the
a I,.., laxs
half embedded in the muck and Orser
stood on this log 10 spread the dirt.
Hundreds of loads of dirt were requir-
ed to fiji i'm the depression. Some idea
OF the amount may be gained from the
fact that a staple driven into large
oak tree. now standing at the corner
of Ann and Pearl streets, at a height
Of seven feet is now only eighteen
inches above ground. The log on
which Mr. Orser stood to spread the
dirt was removed when laying the cell
lar floor to one of the houses because
il was about three inches too high to
be covered by the floor level.
At the present time four nice houses
stand on the site of Mr.. Orser's origin
al holdings, three OF which belong to
him. The whole plot is nicely sodded
and the whole surroundings have lost
the appearance of having ever been a
swamp or marsh.
At the time of the purchase of this
piece of land by Mr.. Orser the present
residence district of Bedding south of
the congregational church stood in
corn and pasture field. Only one
store was necessary to supply the

A USE FOR PLAID TAFFETA.

Always, when Il new fabric or design
comes into fashion. there is much ex-
dressmakers and designers. This has
naturally been the case in the plaids
ind stripes that have become popular
this spring The decision that every
one has reached concerning them is
that they are better used in small than
in large quantities. One of the best
uses OF plaid taffeta is in the form
Of waistcoats ms II part Of fine blouses
OF white mousseline crepe de chine and
chiffon.

Our near approach to the annual
season of dry weather causes the
thoughtful man and the one interest
ed in the protection of his property to
consider the likelihood of fires and the
available means of eXtinguishing the
flames if they do come.
A recent editorial i'm Leslie's Maya
zine contains the following comment
on the cost of fires and a suggested
remedy.
"The annual ash-heap of Canada
and the United States involves a pro-
perry loss of one-quarter of billion
dollars.
These stupendous figures give
America the unenviable distinction of
leading the world in fire losses.
The average person, particularly If
ne has no fire on his own premises.
imagines that this loss does not affect
him.
Joseph Q. Hammitt, Chief of the
New York Fire Prevention Bureau,
points out, however, that each family
in the United States is being taxed
about $27 year for smoke and ashes.
Every taxpayer feels the fire loss in
the cost of maintaining expensive fire
departments.
Every owner gets it in increased fire
insurance rates and every renter, rich
or poor. pays his proportion of tax
in the rent.
The amazing thing about our enor-
nous fire loss is that there is no eX-
cuse for it.
Carelessness is back of large per-
centage of our fires.
For example, all but nineteen of the
more than seven thousand fires in
New York City last year according
to Fire Commissioner Adamson, were
attributed to carelessness, neglect or
criminality.
The most destructive fire germ is.
carelessness.
The most effective remedy is fire
prevention.
Fire waste will never be checked
until people are held strictly to ac-
count for their carelessness.
Mr. Hammitt proposes a state law
that will make the owner of premises
or the person responsible for the alb
sence of required precaution, liable
for the expense OF putting out fire
and for injuries to firemen thus sus-
tanned.
Many foreign countries, where the
fire loss is exceedingly low, have such
legislation.
In connection with this subject a
noted fireman has aptly said Mag
nificent buildings are constructed of
steel and concrete, apparently fire
proof, but often either an accident or
a careful inspection reveals the newt
able weak link"
The weak link" in most buildings
is the lack OF fire proofing carried 10
the minor items such as furniture.

hog he would have been satisfied
with his lot. But he had a soul. He
was above the animals. He longed
for social advantages. He wanted to
do something along the line OF social
service. We don't need any more of
these good-for- nothing citizens.

here tonight without something about

To exclude these subjects from our
conversations and sermons on this
day. 1t is not the working hours that
bother us in keeping the children in
the proper channel for development.
All of us, both men and women, are
safe when we are at work. Ninety
nine per cent of the harm is done To
humanity during leisure hours. Nov
ing pictures can be made a great fact

if placed under the proper restric
tions. 1t is getting so that child

They must have some money to do

it.
