JUD KING CASE THROWN
OUT OF CIRCUIT COURT

The case OF the City of Belding VS..
Jud King, which was on i'm circuit
court last week in Ionia was thrown
out Of court:
The Ionia Standard has, among
other things the following to say of the
case: king set up a stand upon the
occasion OF a circus day at Belding
last summer. on his own premises.
Later some of the other Belding pea
nut and popcorn sellers who had hop
ed to reap a harvest that day were
peeved because King seemingly did
very good with his place. and they
caused his arrest upon "A charge Of
hawking and peddling, the offense be-
ing covered by city ordinance. The
ordinance, however. was designed to
cover the operations of itinerant ped
dlsrs who go from house TO house. but
the stand erected by King was held
to be a permanent one"
1t seems that the Standard is 'in
bad on some of it's facts. We under
stand that King erected his stand OF
premises which he had rented and
that he was acquitted because he was
not held TO be a hawker and peddler
under the present city ordinance

dance and also there is being shown

be here on Thursday to judge the dis
plays and also TO answer questions

No admission fee will be charged
at the exhibit and the lectures will be
free. Mr.. Brown will probably en-
phasiZe spraying in his address. Those
who have heard him, say that he is
one of the best authorities in the
country on this subject 1t will pay
every one 10 make n visit to the Fair
this week and also go TO the Poultry
Show on the second floor.

v. F. BR|CKER IS
WILLING TO HELP
UNCLE SAM SAVE

Postmasters throughout the coun-
try are evidently to receive Christ
mas present from Uncle Sam in the
form OF a big cut in salary The
salary of Postmaster Bricker here is
TO be cut from $4,000 20 $4,000. the
Greenville postmaster will have his
pay reduced from s2700 TO $4,000.
Ionia's postmaster gets n $500 cut
while in Grand Rapids the post office
head is slated for $450o instead of So
600.
Postmaster Bricker comments on
the proposed cut in salary as follows :
IF the post office department is not
on n paying basis about the best way
| know TO make il self sustaining is to
reduce expenses. President Wilson in
his last message to congress recon-
mends economy in all branches OF the
government Postmaster General
Burleson lis trying hard TO place the
postal service on "a paying basis. IL
il necessitates a cut in salaries | be-
lieve he has done the right thing in
recommending that the cut be made in
salaries over $4,000 instead OF in the
pay OF lower salaried clerks and car
riers. I as one of those hit am will
ling 20 take the reduction If neces-
sary."
