HORSEMEN NOT PLEAS
Ed WITH TREATMENT
Cancellation May Operate Against
Speed Department Another
Year

The harness races at Grand Rapids
were not satisfactory to the horse
men who haG entries in them. Be-
cause of the heavy rains the races
were all called off on Thursday. This
was disappointment to the men who

taking care of the animals while
there
W. C. Spicer of this city was par
ticularly effected by the cancellation.
He had entered his five-year-old mare,
Lady Hammond, in the 2:20 class on
Tuesday and in the starts had worked
from eighth to fourth place. Unfor-
tunate racing conditions compelled
Lady Hammond to finish the Tues
days races almost within the money.
She came in on the 2:l74 mark.
Lady Hammond was to have entered
on Thursday but the races were all
Cancelled for the season on account of
the rain of Thursday noon. Roy Nc
Inytre was up for Spicer in the Grand
Rapids races. He was developing
Lady Hammond very fast previous to
the cancellation. He was fairly sure
of taking some cash in the Thursday'e
race if it had been staged. The can
collation. saved the speed department
money this year, but may reduce en-
tries another year.
Mcintyre has Lady Hammond and
Don Fox, Mr.. Spicer's green colt, at

will make the start in today's races.

taught the school in this village dur
ing the winter of 1878. In the spring
following he formed a partnership
with +. r. Spencer, and purchased the
remnant of the old stock which had
changed hands once or twice. Mr.. +.
r. Spencer was born in this township
in 1852, and is the son of Ambrose
Spencer, who was one of the very first
white residents of this township-hav-
ing first settled here in 1887. Mr.. Spen-
Ger commenced teaching when 10
years of age, and when 81 he went to
Olivet College, where he spent one
year. After returning from college
he continued with his father and
worked upon the farm in the summer
and taught school winters( with the
exception of months spent in the
drug store of his brother, DIR. G. M.
Spencer of Grattan, until the co-part-
nership with Mr.. Earle was formed as
above stated. At once after common
cling business the new firm put in
full line of dry goods and groceries,
and soon after they introduced com
plete stock of drugs and medicines.
These young men have already won
the confidence of the public, and are
enjoying constantly increasing
trade. Within the past year both have
entered into life partnership and enjoy
all the comforts of congenial homes.
They deserve the success that has thus
far attended them, and it is to be hop
ed that the future will be as the past,
and that they will continue to merit
the confidence and the patronage of
the community.

SATURDAY. OCT. 9IS
FIRE PREVENTION DAY
GOVERNOR FERRIS URGES Ey-
cry CITIZEN TO HOLD IN
SPECTION THAT DAY

In accordance with the custom of the
Fire Marshals Bureau and in con-
formity with the uniform action of
many other states, | desire once more
to call the attention of the people of
Michigan to the observance of Fire
Prevention Day.
Few realize the great loss of ma
tional wealth due to the fire element.
Many enormously believe that where
loses occur by fire, if they are insured,
the damage is repaired. There could
be no greater fallacy. Property de-
stroyed by fire, whether insured or not,
is gone forever, and can never be re-
placed. 1t is SO much national wealth
disSipated. The state of Michigan
last year lost $6,000,000 worth of pro-
perry by fires, together with hundreds
of valuable lives. The most regret
able feature of this fact is that most
of this loss and disaster was prevent
able, and it is for the people them
selves to take this into their own
hands, and by carefulness eliminate
for the future much of this loss. We
spend millions of dollars to put out
fires; more millions to recoup from
monetary loss by insurance; why not
spend some time and thought to pre-
vent it all?
In view of these facts, and to inn
press their Importance on our people,
/ therefore proclaim the 9th day of
October, 1915, and | strongly urge our
people to observe it by a general clean
ing up preparatory for winter, by re-
moving rubbish, ashes and all waste
from their premises.
Let everyone inspect his chimney;
his heating apparatus, his electric
wiring, and see that it is placed in
proper condition for safety during the
coming winters use.
Let those in charge of public in
hotels, factories, theaters,
be especially careful in looking over
their property to protect the safety of
occupants.
Let the municipal authorities give
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1915-09-29

especial heed to all matters of this
character that may properly come UNI
der their jurisdiction.
Let fire drills be held in schools and
similar institutions some time during
the week of Fire Prevention Day, as
a means Of reminding the pupils of the
Importance of this occasion.
If we have no regard for cleanliness
and order; if we have no thought of
the loss of national wealth, there is
a monetary consideration that ought
to arouse our people. The fire loss
for Michigan is enormous-greater
last year than any year in fifteen

MESSENGER
AT POWERS OCT.1 AND 2

The management of Powers Thea
ire in Grand Rapids announces that
Walker Whiteside, the famous star
who numbers his followers by thous-
ands, through his performances in
1.-THE Melting Pot" and "The Typ
hoon," will appear in his latest
triumph the "The Ragged Messenger"
on Friday and Saturday, October l
and 2.
The Ragged Messenger" is now
playing in the Princess Theatre, Chi
cage, where it has created a wave Of
excitement that is remarkable for a
Theatrical production. Mr.. White
side will bring the entire lavish pro-
duction and distinguished company to
Grand Rapids.
Mr. Whiteside appears in the part
of John Morton, a lighting parson"
who has left the church in order to
get closer to the masses in the slums
Of London. While he is delivering
from street corners the message
which inspires him, he is accosted by
girl who appeals to him for help.
When some of his aristocratic friends
refuse TO help the girl, he marries
her Then he falls to millions, left
him by a remote relative. His wife
grows ambitious, but is thwarted in
her dreams of luxury by Morton, who
is resolved to give all the money to
the poor. How she dishonors herself
to be reyenged on him, makes the
breathlessly exciting climax to the
story.
At the Saturday matinee the best
seats will be $l.00 while for Friday
and Saturday nights the prices range
from 25c to $1.50.

years, and only exceeded four times in
the last forty years. Our fire
insurance rates that are so unsatis-
factory are due mostly to our high loss
ratio. We can never expect a salts
factory insurance rate until this loss
this needless wastes reduced. This
fact ought to cause us to observe Fire
Prevention Day in all it's significance.

Earle & Spencer

This young but enterprising bust
ness firm is composed of J. Milton
Earle and Edwin r. Spencer. Mr..
Earle is the son of j. Morris Earle,
and was born at Oneonta, Otsego
county, N. Y, in 1851. When years
of age his parents removed to Hanni-
bal, Otsego county, and six years later
they migrated to Herkimer county

INTERESTING NEWS
Of BELONG PEOPLE
MANY YEARS AGO
BEAUTIFUL HOME OF II. M. WILL
son WAS THEN BEING
COMPLETED

The following items were taken
from our files of October 2, 1879.
Many items are of special interest to
present day residents of Bedding and
vicinity:
The new house of X. NJ. Wilson is
now nearly ready for the plaster. We
have looked over the building and
pronounced it one of the best--if not
the best-dwellings in the village. The
architect and contractor, Mr.. Thomas
Mckenzie of Concord, Michigan has
spared no pains in the execution of
the work, and he has commended him
self to this community as a first-class
workman and jobber. The painting
done by c. A. Rowley, both in taste
and execution, is really excellent, and
reflects upon himself special credit. c.
L. Cowell of Greenville has the job of
plastering, and this part of the work
will soon be in progress.
The parties implicated in the but
ternut suit, of which mention was
made last week, took exception to the
plain anglo-saXon expressing their of
Tense. If they feel that their crime
is better expressed by saying they
were charged with entering upon the
premises of Mr.. Crane and taking
therefrom a quantity of butternuts,
this expression will be equally accep-
table to US.
AS announced last week, Lew
Blakeslee, so long an efficient clerk in
the drug store of Newcomb - Van
denburgh, left on Monday for Michi-
gan University at Ann Arbor, where
he intends to take full course in the
department of pharmacy. Perry Bly,
stone left here at the same time on a
tour to Pennsylvania. He will make
visit to his grandparents and other
friends, and may remain for some
time to come. These young men are
both highly esteemed in the commun-
ity, and will not only be missed by
their parents, but also by large cir
Gle of friends.
We regret to learn that Mr.. Jacob
King, who was injured by the run
away on the fair grounds, is recover
ing very slowly, and that his daugh-
ter, Lila, was injured very much worse
than was at first supposed. She has
been under the care of a physician
much of the time since the accident
occurred, but is now considered to be
improving.
