A MESSAGE FOR
ALL MEN

WE hare erected in front of our
Bank this magnificent clock, with its
set of the softest and most beautiful
chimes that has ever been heard in
any city of the old or new world.
At quarter past the hour four
strokes Westminster; at half past
the hour, eight strokes-Reveille; at
three quarters past the hour, twelve
strokes-Cathedral peal; and on the
hour, sixteen strokes Westminster,
followed by the striking of the full
hour, in a clear, vibrant tone, heard
through all the noise and hustle of the
busy streets.
May We hope that the chimes will
mean something to all of our people
that they will have a message for the
youngster on his way to school; a
thought for the business man who
hustles through his day; solace for
the old.
Every day of the week, the chimes
will be sounding their message-the
note of warning spoken in time; the
chime of rejoicing, the lament in time
of sorrows. This chime will be all
things to all men, for it is going to
belong, not to US alone, but to men and
women and children of our community.

The Codlirg Moth is the insect
which makes your apples wormy and
unfit for storage. This pest can be so
efficiently controlled that IL In utter
folly for the fruit grower to fall to
take the precautions necessary to In
sure 30 per cent. sound fruit.
The eggs Of the Codling Moth are
laid on the twigs early In the spring.
AS soon rs these hatch, the young
larvae crawl TO the blossom clusters.
and enter the calyx end of the little
apple. Poison introduced into the
blossoms at this time win destroy most
of these larvae before they have a
chance TO injure the fruit. This can
be done BY spraying the trees With
the following mixture when the petals
have nearly all fallen:
Mixture No. /.
Concentrated Lime Sulphur, gallon.
Water. 40 gallons.
Arsenate Of Lead. 2 to 3 pounds.
Mixture No. 2 (Bordeaux).
Copper Sulphate. 4 pounds.
Lime (Burned). 8 pounds.
Water. so gallons.
Arsenate Of Lead. 2 to 3 pounds.
Either mixture win do the work re-
qutred- Mixture No. 2 showing better
results with later sprayings. These
materials should be thoroughly mixed
and applied frst as the petals fall and
again. ten days later. before the calyx
closes up. II Ia sometimes necessary
to spray again about the first Of July
to catch the second brood which may
have escaped the early spray.

Evil Falls Upon Every Athlete
Who Has Paid His Respects
to Former Champion.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. April 1s-
That a "hoodoo." link" or some other
manner Of evil spell follows in the
wake Of pug1lists who visit Grand
Rapids is practically certainty
1t may be that Grand Rapids is the
cause and again 1t may be that the
grave Of Stanley Ketchel. one time
middleweight king. is the cause,
At any rate, misfortune, consisting
| of sickness, injuries. knock-outs, can
celed matches. and even death. have
, Followed in the wake Of those who have
paid their respects to the departed
ketchel.
When the great lion killer. was laid
to rest in the Polish Catholic Cemetery
here, Mike Donaldson. Stanley's spar
rim Spartner and closest friend, ac-
companied the body and made all ar
rangements. Mike saw that flowers
we're placed over the grave and ar
ranged that they be renewed. When
Donaldson left Grand Rapids he looked
like the coming welterweight champion
of the world.
In the best of condition. Donaldson
had learned all Ketchel was able to
hitting. He had never tasted liquor in
his life. He was the perfect athlete
and had never been defeated. Bowed
In grief at the loss Of ketchel Donald
son allowed himself 10 be led to New
York where he sought to forget his
troubles in wine. Inside of month
he found himself in a hospital where
he remained for SIX weeks at deaths
door. When he emerged he was a
shadaw of his former self and the
worlds title had faded from his grasp
He is still In the ring, but the battle
to overcome the ink has prevented
him from meeting the topnotchers who
had once feared him. Donaldson was
the first to experience the dire luck
following those visiting the resting
place OF the former worlds middle
weight champion.
Slightly over year ago a travelling
aggregation of all-star fighters, In
touring the country. stopped at Grand
Rapids and staged an exhibition. Those
In the party were the late Luther Nc
Cartey. white heavyweight champion.
Jimmy CIabby. middleweight title
claimant: Johnny Kllbane, feather
" weight champion, and Johnny Coulon,
bantamweight champion, as we'll as
other lesser lights.
Sunday afternoon prior to their Mon
day night exhibition the entire party
visited the Retchel grave, covered II
with a mass Of flowers, and concluded
the ceremony by having group photo
taken.
The first to be visited by disaster was
Luther McCarty. who died May "a, 1918.
following a knockout at the hands OF
