'PERE MARQUETTE TALKS
GIkEN BY PAUL KING

On the theory that the people of
Michigan have a direct interest in the
fate of the Pere Marquette railroad,
and are entitled to know the plans and
policies under which every effort is
being made to rehabilitate this big
transportation system, Paul II. King,
operating receiver, has prepared a
series Of advertisements which will
appear as "Pere Marquette Talks"
In these talks Mr.. King will give his
views regarding the problems and
needs of the railroads as he sees them
after careful Study of the conditions.
Publicity of this character is new
thing for Michigan railroad. The
one big reason why Mr.. King is max
ing these talks, he says, is to bring
the people and railroad into closer
touch, and to emphasize the import
ance of cooperation for mutual bene-
fit. Mr.. King has been in charge Of
the railroad since June, 1914, and with
the active support Of every member
of the organization has been working
to make the railroad "go"-that is,
provide means for its proper mainten-
ance to give good service. An earnest
effort is being made to bring about a
reorganization of the railroad on a
stable basis, and in that connection
it needs the support of the people
whose transportation agent it is. The
Receiver believes the people served by
the Pere Marquette understand that
if the railroad can be made to pros
per as a "going concern" it will be
better able to furnish them the kind
of service which will aid them in the
development and progress of their re-
spective communities, and that they
will, therefore, appreciate an exposi-
ton of its condition and needs to en-
able them intelligently TO assist in
working out its problems. The first
Talk" will run in our issue Of Janu-
ary IL.

BAN NER PUBLISHED IN
ALBURY AUSTRALIA

The BANNER has received from
the publishers a copy of~the Albury
Banner, printed at Albury, New South
Wales, Australia. The issue was dat
ed November II and reached Bedding
Wednesday morning, December 15 A
letter written to us by the publishers,
Adam, Cooper & Adams, November
IL, reached US about the same time.
The letter was in part as follows:
Alburv, N. S. W.,
18th November, 1915.
Belding, Banner,
Belding, Michigan, u. S. A,
Dear Sir:
Of the oath of Sept, as we were un-
der the impression that Banner" was
an uncommon name for newspaper,
but to find that you are only 30 miles
from Hastings Banner" is still more
surprising. 1t came under our notice
somehow that there was such pap
er as yours. After perusing the copy
you sent us we must say that we had
no idea that q paper of such size and
so well got up would be produced in
your town, considering the opposition
from city daily papers you have to
contend with. We were surprised to fin
contend with. We were surprised to
find such a production as yours no
greater distance away from Hastings.
Your town, judging from the number
you sent must be fine city. We are
sending copy Of our paper, which we
have TO admit does not come to yours
as regards the style it is produced in.
We shall also be pleased to exchange
with you now and again.
Your truly,
Adams, Cooper q Adams,
Publishers.
Albury is a city of about 1000 sit
uated two hundred miles inland. The
principal products of the district are
wool, cattle, wheat, etc.
The Albury Banner is a 48-page
paper, four columns wide and 15h
inches long. The news features diff
fer radically from the BANNER.
They report at length about stock
and produce auctions, by means of
which the ranch products there are
disposed of by the growers. There
are many news letters from surround
ing towns and evidently Albury is the
center of large and thriving district.
Australia is as large as the United
States and has a population Of about
100000. Evidently it has but few
dailies or such a weekly would not
find it worth while to give so much
space discussing things Americans
would not think of looking for in a
weekly i. e., the war news, home
keeping, etc. While the Albury Ban
ner has more pages than the BAN
NER yet the total number of inches
of space is only slightly more than
that of the BANNER and yet the AL
bury Banner get about $500 Zone
pound) a year and the BANNER only
$1.00.
1t would be interesting for our
readers to call at the BANNER Office
and look over the paper from Aus
tralia.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1916-01-05


In every paper we pick up we're al
ways sure to find
A lot of silly gush about "the man
who is behind
There's the man behind the counter
and the man behind the gun,
The. man behind the buzzsaw and the
man behind his son;
The man who is behind the throne, the
one behind the state,
The man behind the plowshare and the
man~behind the gate;
The man behind his whistle and the
man behind the bars,
The man behind the footlights and
the man behind the cars;
The man behind his whiskers ana the
man behind his fist
And every man behind" a thing is
entered on the list.
But they've skipped another~fellow of
whom nothing has been said:
The fellow who is even or a little
ways ahead;
Who pays for what he gets, whose
bill is always signed
He's a blame sight more Importance
than the man who gets behind.
All we editors and merchants and the
whole commercial clan
Are indebted for existence Of this
honest, noble man;
He keeps us all in business and his
town is never dead
And so / take my hat off to the man
who is ahead.

Olive Oil

Since the earliest time olives and
olive oil have been esteemed as foods.
The Romans priced olive oil highly,
as we'll as the Greeks, the Egyptians
and Arabs. 1t was used not only as
a food but as medicine and in toilet
preparations.
OF fats and oils none supplies the
needs of the system so entirely as
olive oil. What is known as the vir-
gin oil is the best for medical pur-
poses. This is the first oil coming
from the first pressing of the fresh
olives. Much of our oil has been adul-
terated with cottonseed oil which of
course being cheaper has brought a
good price to the seller. Our food
laws are controlling this in a measure,
but there is still plenty of need of en-
forcement of the laws in regard to
many of our foods.
Olive oil is highly esteemed as a
delicacy, it has no equal as a salad
dressing and is the ideal frying fat,
as it is not absorbed in cooking as is
animal fat.
Olive oil has been the beauty Sc
cret of many lovely women of days
gone by and this remarkable property
of olive oil has been cherished and
handed down from beautiful mother to
beautiful daughter. Since scientists
have enlightened the world on its
beauty. benefits all women may par
take and enjoy its results.
A great London physician was
asked by a woman regarding her COM
plexion, he replied: take olive oil.
Live on it, eat it, drink it, battle in it,
dress your food with it and never be
without it! You need it constantly
to Intricate your system"
One or two tablespoonfuls day is
sufficient to keep the system 1.-THE and
youthful and the complexion clear.
When buying oil go to a reliable
merchant, try small amount until
you find just the kind you like. There
are any number of fine nutty oils on
the market and if one is willing to pay
the price, good oil is always to be had.
One of the chief reasons that so many

What a Tint Does

Light blue makes blonde complex
ions look ashen.
Dark blue sets off a blonde COM
plexion in high relief by supplying a
suitable background.
Blue is unbecoming to a brunette,
unless her cheeks are florid If she
be salloy it makes her face look
tawny.
Red heightens the effect of pale
brunette beauty.
Yellow is highly becoming to pale
brunette, especially in artificial light.
It softens an olive skin and gives it
a creamy tint.
