OTTERBEIN QUARTETTE
COMING NOVEMBER rs

The Otterbein Male Quartette and
Swiss Bell Ringers who will appear
here at the Church of Christ next
Wednesday evening, November 25.
always make good-if the universal
verdict of those who hear them
counts. In many OF the Chautauqua
courses they are the favorites of the
audiences
The most appreciated work of the
Otterbeins, is their quartette work.
Belding loves good music and when
the residents get a chance TO hear
such high class musicians they re-
spond with eagerness. This attrac-
ton will be no disappointment TO
music lovers.
The Otterbein Quartette is not only
musical. but they are musically anus
ing as well, which few male quartettes
dare to be. Their bell ringing pleases
the audience immensely. For all
around brlliancy and snap. perhaps
the Otterbeins are the equal OF any
attraction that has ever been brought
to this city. Don't fail to hear them
next Wednesday night at the Church
of Christ. Admission 20 and 35
cents.

PIONSHIP THANKSGIVING

Football in Belding High School has
created much interest this year and
this interest is growing greater as the
end of the season draws near. Belding
and Portland have both had a very
successful season so far. Portland

them on their own ground. Belding
and Ionia broke even and Portland
defeated Ionia in both games but
Ionia was fifty per cent stronger
against Belding than against Portland.
In this game at Ionia, Weber, Ionia's s
mainstay, broke his shoulder in the
first Of the game, and was out for the
next making the team an easy victim
for Portland.
Coach Nelson has been putting his
men through hard practice. The
faculty has arranged the classes so the
boys can get out for practice at three
p, m. Many Of the players work af
ter school and this will enable them
to get i'm a lot of practice. Ed Web
ster is assisting in the coaching,

dred strong, on "a special train. Beld

PLAN TO REDUCE
THE HIGH COST OF
OWNING AN AUTO

Word has been received here that
one of the biggest movements in
Western Michigan is about to come
to the assistance of the merchants and
automobile owners i'm and around this
city, in the solution of one of the
gravest problems which they are COM
PEELED to face.
Few people stop TO consider the in
roads made by the large mail order
houses upon the resources Of the
average community. For instance,
the statement is made on good
authority that these commercial
parasites are every year taking out
Of this community sixty per cent of
the money paid by automobile owners
for tires and accessories alone. This
is not only a local condition, but one
that exists uniformly throughout the
State, and in a a city like Grand Rap
ids reaches the astounding total of
$360,000 per year The figures for
Western Michigan, if they could be
collected, would no doubt, be appall-
ing.
A few Of the progressive business
men Of Grand Rapids united early in
this year, and started movement to
remedy this unfortunate condition Of
affairs, and have succeeded in making
a decided Improvement. They have
formed an association OF automobile
owners, the purpose OF which is TO re-
duce the cost of tires and accessories
TO the owner, lower even than the
mail order price and still enable him
to patroniZe a home proposition.
Through the influence of some Of
the prominent automobile owners in
the towns around Grand Rapids the
Automobile Owners Purchasing Club
OF Grand Rapids have appointed an
EXtention Committee and are extend
ing the operations of the Grand Rap
ids club to cover the entire western
part of the State They are doing
this through cooperation with the
local dealers in the various COM
munities where they are invited to
come. thereby not only supporting the
men who have their capital invested
in the local automobile industry, but
also reducing the high cost Of owning
an automobile to the individual, and
retaining in the community the enor-
nous profits which have heretofore
been sent to the mail order and dis
count houses in the large cities.
An invitation has been extended to
the Club to open a branch in this city
and word has been received that
representatives of their Extention
Committee will be in Belding in the
near future, and if the automobile
owners Of Belding give the same sup
port which the committee is receiving
in other communities they will make.
arrangements for permanent opera
tons here.
Owners who desire to be counted i'm
on this movement are invited TO ad-
dress the club at their headquarters
at 423-424 Murray Bldg, Grand Rap
ids.

HABIT AS MASTER"
THEME OF ADDRESS
At FRIDAY LECTURE
SUPERINTENDENT OSBORNE
DISCUSSED THIS SUBJECT BE-
FORE THE STUDENTS

! At the Friday Exercises at the Cen
trail High school building last week
the address Of the afternoon was given
by Superintendent NJ. L. Osborne. His
subject was Habit" In introducing
the topic and making clear to his
hearers Just what phase of il he ex-
pected to discuss Mr.. Osborne alluded
10 the position of some of the Eu-
ropean rulers. He referred to the
Kaiser as being almost the absolute
master of Germany, and to the Car
as the commanding power in Russia.
/ Both of these men were said to be
masters Of the countries which they
/ governed, and SO habit is a master Of
/ individuals
! Briefly Mr.. Osborne said: Each of
you have habits that are your masters
Every persons habits are masters of
that person. Then how do we acquire
habit? Let me give you an iIlustra-
ton. Take child that takes its first
step. Its face is Illuminated with
pleasure at the accomplishment of the
feat, and it's parents are jubilant over
the achievement. Day by day the
child takes its steps, at first with great
difficulty and much conscious effort.
/
play without ever giving the least con-
scious attention to the task Walking
becomes a habit with the child.
Another example OF how one may
acquire habit is profanity. The first
time one of you boys used profane
language your conscience prodded you
severely, but by repeated use of pro-
fame language you soon became so
grounded in its use that you may
speak one of the vilest words and
within minute deny absolutely that
you have spoken it. Profanity has
then became habit with YOU
You strengthen habit by repeating
an operation. Many times you have
heard people say that they can do a
thing or quit doing ii as they choose,
but every time an act is repeated the
harder it is TO escape doing it again.
1t is becoming more of a habit. Many
Of you have used an alarm clock so
that you will be awakened at six
o'clock in the morning. If you get
up when the alarm goes off every
morning you win not need a clock
after two weeks. The habit of getting
up at six o'clock will remain with you
ever afterwards. But sleep through
the alarm period ard soon you will
not near II at all Then you say If
habit is our absolute master there is
no use trying TO do anything TO escape
it. But while habit is your master
you have the privilege ~of selecting
your own habits. Make them good or
bad as you like.
There are certainly many good and
useful habits which you, as students,
should establish. Fix in yourselves
habits that will be useful to you i'm
after years. One essential is good
language. The use of good English
is just a habit. The orator does not
acquire the use Of correct English eX-
cept by long and persistent practice.
He spends years in securing control of
his language, vocabulary and voice.
He is not an orator until these things
become automatic with him.
