Grattan Pioneer Picnic

We had the pleasure of being pres
eIft at the pioneer picnic held at Graf
tan Center yesterday We arrived
about IL o'clock and found the church
packed with people, and more OUT
side than in. We succeeded in squeez-
ing into the vestibule and getting one
ear inside the audience room. but
could not catch but few words. A..
b. Morse of Ionia was billed for the
principal address but did not make
his appearance. Capt. Coffinbury of
Grand Rapids, took his place, and
those who were masters of the sit
uation" pronounced it good. Good
music by the Belding Cornet Band,
the choir, and violin and cornet COM
bination bytwo aged gentlemen from
Grand Rapids, interspersed the exer--
cises. An appropriate poem was read
by M. d. Wood, and the president
then exhibited to the audience a por-
trait Of Henry Grattan, after whom
the township was named, and gave a
brief synopsis of his life and char
acter. The meeting adjourned one
hour and half for dinner. The ta-
bles i'm the bowery adjoining the
church, were full, and both grange
hall and the church were crowded
with picnickers. At this time brisk
rain set in which somewhat marred
the dinner proceedings.

Pig Clubs and Bank DEPOSITS

Bankers in many states are realiz-
ing the value of pig club work as a
means of materially improving rural
conditions, according to club agents
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Not few of the bank
ers have made it possible for worthy
club members to secure pigs on their
personal notes. In this way a well
bred pig is secured and the member
can pay for it from the proceeds of
the pig as a meat animal or from the
sale of offspring in the case of a
breeding animal. The member enters
into a business agreement with the
parents consent) with the banker and
is in this way relieved of the stigma
of charity which is the result when a
pig is given outright This arrange

ries and Habits"
Contrary to popular belief. spiders
are not insects. Insects have six legs.
neither more nor less, and another pc
culiarity Of the insect is that il has
wings-sometimes two, more often
four. Spiders have eight legs and no
wings; therefore spiders are not in
sects.
Insects have no backbones and no
skeletons, but skins with hard, dura-
BILE surface called chitin, which makes
up light shell of armor that forms
the outside OF the body, to the inside
of which the muscles are attached. In.
sects do not breathe through their
mouths, but through holes in the bod
les called spiracles. Insects have nei-
their veins nor arteries; the blood is
pumped directly from the chambered
heart into the body cavity, where Ii
bathes and nourishes the organs. In
sects have wonderful and enviable di-
gestive organs and feed upon and di-
gest almost any substance from which
neurishment may be extracted.
because of the way they are built,
insects are pai<icularly fitted for the
strenuous life, and tired insect is a
thing unknown. They are always busy

ing. process, for it is but natural for
boy when treated as man, to act
in manly manner.
This apparent generosity on the
part of the bankers is in many cases
business acumen. A case in point is
that of Texas bank. The president
of the bank placed 326 pigs among
the club members of his county. AS a
result of the acquaintance made in Sc
curing and placing these pigs, many
new patrons were secured. These pa
irons brought in over $4,000 in in
dividual deposits. Needless to say,
this was profitable business for the
bank, but it is also a means that will
increase with time in its beneficial
influence.
