LOST AND FOUND"

A woman who recently lost a hand
bag of some value on the streets of a
large city was telling the other day
about her observations of Lost and
Found" advertising. She watched a
number of newspapers for a week or
two. She says that there are half
dozen people who advertise articles
lost, for every one who ever advertise
anything found.
Any article of sufficient value TO adj
vertise is usually picked up by some
one II looks as if about five siXths
OF the people who find articles of value
keep them, making no serious effort
10 find the owner.
No doubt most people who would
keep a found purse, without effort to
trace the owner, would recoii with
disgust ar the idea of picking per-
sons pocket. Their feeling would not
merely be a fear of the law, but a
sense that il is a low down trick to
steal. Yet they may do something
equally mean by indirection.
People should put themselves in the
place OF the other person. Losing
a sum of money or other property is
most irritating experience. 1t fills
one with disgust at his own careless
ness. and one begrudges the loss far
more than if the money were equally
wasted in some extravagant and need
less purchase. The return OF a lost
article is a Kindness that is not soon
forgotten. There are mparatively
few people who on reading Lost"
notice in a newspaper would decide
not to restore the article, Failure to
return the property would be so clear
ly a criminal act, that a person must
be potentially a crook not TO do it.
Keeping still about a found article
that one has not seen advertised, is
not morally any different, But many
peoples codes of honor are crude and
hazy The absence of any actively
dishonest act seems to satisfy them.
If the disproportion of Lost and
Found" advertising noted above is
general one, il indicates yellow
streak of dishonesty running through
our daily life.

On Home Trading

The Record Eagle OF Traverse City
aptly says of the mail order out-of-
town trading:
zone of the most serious Affections
that can strike town is the mail or
der bug which burrows under the skin
of the body polite, saps the life blood
from the community and often infects
the victim with diseases which in time
prove fatal 1t is a fact that every
dollar that is sent out-of-town for
goods means just that much less
money in circulation to carry on the
legitimate business of the community.
1t means just that much less with
which TO trade, pay taxes with and to
lay by in the sock for spell OF bad
weather which is liable TO come at any
time in the career of the individual.
The prosperity of town depends up
on the prosperity of the people who
reside there and the degree OF COM
munity patriotism that they exhibit
upon all occasions. If the people all
trade at home business will be good,
but if they persist in sending away
for wharf they need then the whole
population will feel the baleful effects
of the practice. By trading at home
you provide more employment Tor
people living in your trade territory.
BY trading with home merchants you
keep your money at home and IL
therby enables the community to build
more good roads over which people
can travel to reach your town and
spend their money with you, Every
citizen of a town should be loyal
enough to that town to spend his
of loyalty is what makes towns grow
and people become prosperous. 1t
money where IL is earned. This kind
lightens the tax burdens and in
creases the amount Of public comforts
in the town. By trading away from
home the person who does so openly
confesses himself a mercenary instead
of a patriot, thereby casting a refiec-
ton upon his home town. Business
is after all a cooperative plan and
when the people fail to cooperate
with the merchant business will be
poor, everybody in the community will
feel the effects of the industrial drag.
The one sure way to bring about local
prosperity is to buy and sell at home
and give every encouragement to the
merchants to build up their stocks TO
a point where il will be possible Tor
them to supply every need of their
customers. With your undivided sup
port they will be able to do this, but
IL you send your money out of town
the home merchant will have to cut
corners to meet his bills and you as
well as he will feel the actual pinch
OF hard times at home. Stand by the
old home town and the town will
stand by you and prosper to degree
that will even exceed the dreams OF
the most pronounced optimist In the
region.

Evidently Grand Rapids does not
want DRINKS, disorderly persons and
Migrants which have been forced out
of other cities by the closing OF the sa-
looms to make the city their head
quarters. vet il tolerates and encour-
ages the wet" conditions that always
makes and attracts that element. The
Herald says:
Grand Rapids cannot be made
camping ground" for Migrants from
territory which recently swung into
the dry column. The ultimation has
been issued by Superintendent A. 4.
Carroll and is to be rigidly enforced.
Since Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and
other cities of the state were voted dry
a large number of undesira bles from
those sections have flocked TO Grand
Rapids.
To successfully cope with the situa-
ton the department head has issued
orders to detectives and patrolmen to
arrest all persons of this class who re-
fuse or neglect to leave the city Lott
ering on the streets will constitute suf-
ficient cause for them TO be ordered to
move on the superintendent an
nounces."

BELDlNG TOOK DEFEAT
FROM EAGLES SATURDAY

The local boys got a heavy jolt on
the home diamond last Saturday when
they We're left on the bleachers with
a II TO 4 score staring them in the
face as a result of the game with the
Grand Rapids Eagles 1t was the
second defeat the boys have had out
of nineteen games played this season,
and they were left with no question
as 10 who was the winner of the day.
Early in the game Siner was hit on
the knee, making him too lame to
finish the game. The first three inn
ings, however, were interesting as the
Eagles had secured only one run. In
the fourth inning the visitors ran in
three more runs and when the locals
came up they blanketed their oppon-
ents for three runs thus holding the
score 10 TO 8. When the Eagles
came up in the fifth they batted
around and Tapped by two men. Seven
runs were marked up, Stedman get
ting two Of them.
Everything went to pieces for the
locals after the fifth and they were
able TO make another run only after a
series of additional runs had been
scored by the visitors. The boys were
playing in hard luck all day, and were
unable to overcome the odds. Voss
was retired from the box in the fifth
and Pfab finished the game. Bailey
took third when Siner retired, leaving
Johnson behind the plate. The score:

'BELD|NG, BIGGER
AND BETTER BOOSTER
PARTY At BIG RAPIDS
(Continued from Page II

lowed by the base ball team and the
team in turn by the Big Rapids band.
Upwards of thousand people wit
messed the game from the grandstand
and bIeachers. An account of the
game IS given in the automobile sec
ton of the Banner
on the return trip the first stop
was made at Stanwood, where a royal
reception was given TO the transients.
No stop was made at Morley, but the
town felt the presence Of the delega-
ton as II passed through, because of
the gayety, yelling, and hurrahs Of the
crowd. Arriving at Howard City quick
lunches were taken while the band
played in the streets. Many people
We're out to give welcome, when the
line pulled into the town and others
got out as quickly as possible to see
what was causing so much excitement
Almost every citizen in the village
or Sand Lake was out on the streets
when the band began TO play and the
younger ones, especially came running
from every corner TO be present at the
short celebration.
Cedar Springs and Rockford also
gave a good welcome to the Belding
boosters but ii was getting rather late,
when the party arrived there, for the
people generally TO come out on the
streets. No stop was made at Grattan
because of the lateness of the hour.
The major part of the party arrived
home about eleven o'clock.
The whole party was under the aus
pices OF the Bedding Board of Com
merce and was under the personal di-
rection OF Secretary h. c. Gunsolus
For the first trip of the kind TO be
planned and carried out by the local
organization il was a huge success. Mr.
Gunsolus personally looked 10 the
comfort and speedy travelling OF his
crowd and everyone gladly co-operat-
ed to make the trip the best possible
1t was certainly a grand thing for the
new organization to carry out.
Another booster trip is now being
planned to go TO Lansing about the
middle of July. Everyone who has an
automobile and who can arrange to
go on the trip is requested to report
the fact TO Mr.. Gunsolus as soon as
possible so that all the necessary de-
tails may be worked out before the
morning OF the trip.
Mr.. Gunsolus wishes 10 express his
heartfelt thanks 10 the automobile
owners who so kindly contributed to
the success of the last trip and also to
all Of the other people, including the
band and base ball boys, for their as
sistance in making the day such an
enjoyable one.

The country will approve the APP
pointment Of Robert Lansing as Sec
rotary OF state. II will breathe easier
now that it sees a practical and eX-
perienced man permanently seated in
the premier's chair in the cabinet 1t
will hail this selection of an adviser
by Mr.. Wilson as one of the wisest
actions of his administration.
True, Mr.. Lansing is not a practical
politician. But the nation has had
enough of the practical politician in
the department of foreign affairs 10
last for a long time. The new secre-
tary is something infinitely better than
this. He is that rare creature in
American life, a practical and eXper-
fenced diplomat. Diplomacy is his
hfe's business, his profession, and at
this juncture the country needs above
all things the services. of just such
man.
Mr.. Lansing steps into his position
much as John Hay did, after a period
of apprenticeship which has made him
thoroughly familiar with all the de-
tails and Immediately pressing prob
lens Of his department He under
stands the European situation as ii
affects the United States better per-
haps than any one else in the coun-
try. For months he has been the
presidents expert counsel in all the
dealings and note writings which have
passed between Washington and Lon
don and Washington and Berlin. He
will be a safe and sensible adviser TO
the president, and Mr.. Wilson will re-
spect his judgment as he could not
possibly have respected the Judgment
of Mr.. Bryan.
From now on we may expect the
secretary Of state TO be something
more than a rubber stamp and an
incubus. He will be a factor In ma
tional life which will make the gov
eminent respected both at home and
abroad. To see Mr.. Lansing step into
Mr.. Bryan's place is like awakening
from a horrible Northumberland
Free Press.

laborer is better protected and cared

compensation laws by the states en-
phasized the necessity Of the safety

ployer is doing everything in his pow

Whipping Cream should Be Cold

often the housewife finds that
the cream she has will not whip.
The departments dairy specialists
point out that TO obtain satisfactory
results in whipping cream it should
be cold and of the right thickness,
containing about 80 per cent or more
of butterfat. Ordinary cream, de-
signated as coffee cream by the trade,
is altogether too thin to give good
results. The whipping cream, as de-
livered by the milkman, contains 80
to 40 per cent of butterfat. Thorough
~ chill the cream before whipping by
placing il in a covered bowl on the
ice. The whipping process is also
aided and FASTENED by standing the
bowl in a pan Of ice water.

The so-called boxing matches which
are put up and pulled off in the sport
ing fraternity are nothing less than
prize fights Governor Ferris is to be
commended for his action in sounding
the death knell of these brutal exhibit
tons Last week he sent letters to
the sheriff of each of SO counties in
forming them of the law against glove
contests and requesting them to see
that the statute is enforced.
Ever since he vetoed the Paul bill
that would have legalized 10-round
bouts in Michigan, the chief executive
has been making a quiet investigation
of various boxing shows held in Michi-
gan, and he has reached the concur
sion that they must be stopped
Former Governor Warner clamped
the boxing lid down so tight that no
bouts were held during the last two
years of his administration. but during
the past four years the game has
fourished in several Michigan cities.
