The Board of Commerce luncheon
Tuesday noon was well attended. Ev-
eryone enjoyed the feed. Guy d..
Weter had charge of the after meet
ing as chairman.
The question of street sprinkling
was brought up for discussion. Much
was said and ideas as to the best

Mr.. Weter- appointed Glenn Wortley,

No action was taken relative to the
proposed celebration of the compile
ton of the street paving.
Frank Hudson suggested that ac-
ton should be taken relative to clean
alleys and made a talk along the line
of having the work placed with some
one whose duty it would be to look
after it in a systematic way. Dis
cussion brought out the fact that
some alleys we've in deplorable con-
dition and the matter was referred to
the mayor and city council to deter

LOCAL N|MROD
STAYS TWO HARES
WITH ONE SHOT
CHAS. MADDEN TELLS OF UN-
USUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT
WITH FIREARMS

With the hunting season just open
ed one of Belongs sportsmen brings
in a remarkable story as to his sue
cess. During the early part of the
week Chas. Madden in company with
Postmaster w. f. Bricker, Wilford
Bricker and Harry Fletcher, went on
the first hunting expedition of the
season.
When the dogs jumped a rabbit in
the marsh the excited animal made a
swoop for the open fields. AS he
turned and ran down a furrow Mad
den unloaded one barrel of his gun
in that direction. The rabbit fell in its
tracks and when Madden arrived at
the place where the carcass lay he
found two rabbits instead of one.
Charley had expected to circulate
the story only among his neighbors
and immediate friends, fearing a
falling off in his reputation, but the
truth leaked out and his fellow hunt
ers vouch for the veracity of the
story.

BANK BURGLARS
WERE AT SUNFIELD

( The Sunfeld State Savings bank,
was broken into by burglars Friday
night. The net haul amounted to
S272 in cash, postage stamps valued
at $939.50, and possibly few private
papers which it will be impossible for
the robbers to convert to their own
use, some safety deposit boxes having
been tampered with.
Entrance was gained to the bank
by means of a rear window, then the
door of the vault was blown off by
some explosive, believed to have been
nitro-glycerine. Inside the vault the
robbers were confronted by a modern
steel safe and they seem to have
realized that nothing could be accom-
plished by trying to open this. They
picked up a tray on which the change
is kept for use at the cashiers win
dow during business hours and put
the $272 which it contained in their
pockets. Postmaster Palmer had TAX
en- his surplus postage stamps to the
bank, as the safe in the postoffice is
less secure, and his invoice shows the
robbers got nearly a thousand dol
lars worth of these. A postoffice in
spector will be detailed for the job of
running down the crooks and Sheriff
Storrs, of Charlotte, got busy on the
case early Saturday morning.

ALL PAPERS OF COUNTY WILL
BE s1.50 AFTER NOVEMBER
FIRST, 1916

The publishers of Ionia county met
in Ionia last Friday afternoon to talk
over various matters for the good of
the work being done by them for their
various communities. Every attend
or at the meeting stated as the most
serious phase of the publishing busi-
ness the acute condition of the print
paper market. The publishers also
said that they were expecting to make
an increase in subscription rate be-
fore the new year. A. j. Damn of
Lake Odessa announced that he
would charge $1.50 for the Wave
Times after October l. j. M. Lang
ston of the Belding Banner made the
same announcement, in regard to the
Belding paper. A. l.. Francis of the
Portland Observer and Fred j.
Mauren of the Portland Review stat
ed that they would raise November
/, and Fred Kidd Of the Ionia Sentinel
stated that the new rate would apply
on the Sentinel after November /.
f. d. Engemann of the Belding News
stated that the subscription price of
the News would be advanced Novem-
Der /, and Editor Johnson of the Low
ell Ledger advised that he would
raise in the very near future. The
Saranac Advertiser was the only one
that was not in favor Of the increase.
He may not advance on November l
as the others are doing.
In view of the fact that all other
publishers are making the advance
November / the Banner has deemed
it advisable to accept new subscrip-
tions only at one dollar until Novem-
Der /. This will permit any who are
not now taking the Banner to still get
the benefit of the old price At this
rate we can accept new subscriptions
for only one year.
Since Fridays meeting was condu-
Give Of so much good it was voted to
hold a second meeting in Ionia Oct
ober 20 to perfect a county organiza-
tion. Fred j. Mauren, J. M. Lang
ston and Fred Kidd were named a COM
mittee to draft bylaws and constitu-
tion for the organization.

A party of ten Y. M. C. A. boys in
charge of Francis L. Bailey, principal

ride and hike a couple of miles up the
river and camped out all night last
Saturday. They took along cooking
utensils and plenty of blankets, Wee
nies and muskmelons., At night a
big bonfire lighted up the camp and
they used their upturned canoes to
sleep under. 1t is supposed they
were on the same grounds that the
Indians in charge of old Chief Waba-
sis nearly hundred years ago used
as a camping place.
The boys enjoyed the stunt very
much. Besides Mr.. Bailey, there
were in the party Heber Blair, Geo.
