reported to Deputy Sheriff Chas. Muir
ray last Wednesday evening that he
had been robbed while travelling along

ne had been relieved Of twenty dol
lars in money and also "A quantity OF
linen and novelties. which he carried

ELMER COOK WRITES
SOME GOOD THINGS
ABOUT UNEMPLOYED
Belding. january 20. 191.

beIulDS, january ~, 1910.
What is our duty in regard TO the
unemployed, question which has be-
come serious We live in land
which boasts OF living up to the golden
rule. Let's stop for one moment and
consider this great question of the un-
employed and what our duty is in re-
gard to feeding them or not feeding
them.
If the shops of our city were closed
as is the case in many cities our men
or many of them would have To seek
work in other cities, and would we
as the citizens of Belding like to have
our honest hard-working boys classed
as tramps and driven from one place
To another without money or food :?
man that is begging for work to
provide living for his family or him
self we have no right To call "a tramp.
In my opinion when we turn such
away hungry and without kind word
we forget the golden rule and the
words Of the Master when he said lit
is more blessed TO give than to re-
ceive." Now ] do not encourage idle
ness or uphold men in tramping for
a living in a time when work is plenty
as is often the case, but when men
call lbI lOOu III a. TIME llht AlllS re-
member the coffee you throw away
every morning and cents worth Of
bread would make some one happy
and be sure and mix in a few Kind
words for seasoning. There is great
stir in regard to sending funds to ou
brothers across the water and this is
all right but let's not forget our own
needy, to care for those in another
land. There have been men in our
city Jail that have been accommodated
with a nights lodging that went to
bed hungry, with out any supper and
possibly no dinner and were turned
out in the morning with out any
breakfast, and not a penny in their
pockets to buy with,
! have fed some Of these and some
have gone away unfed and hungry.
Now a few loaves Of bread and few
pounds of coffee would relieve matters
greatly and there is a way to accom-
plish this and it would not be a burden
to anyone. In fact il would be
county charge and prove a blessing TO
those in want and a blessing TO those
who helped To make their burdens
lighter. T. +. Cook.
