AUTOMOBILE TURNED
TURTLE INJURlNG
OCCUPANTS Of CAR

The overturning of an automobile
while rounding the corner at the Ash
field boarding house Sunday after
noon, struck CONSERVATION to the peo-
pie on the street who witnessed the
accident, as they expected to see some
of the occupants badly injured, if not
killed outright.
The car belonged to j. w. Adams,
farmer living near Palo, who was
visiting at George Shoemaker's, and
when leaving for home he came down
the hill and in turning east at the
Ashfield one of the front wheel tires
exploded causing the accident.
The car went completely bottom
side up, all of the occupants being
thrown out or pinned underneath the
car. Mr.. and Mrs. Shoemaker, Mrs.
Lewis, mother of Mrs. Shoemaker, lit
tie Miss Ruth Mcmahon and the driv-
er, Mr.. Adams, were riding in the car.
Mrs. Shoemaker received a bad cut
over the left eye, Mrs. Lewis a slight
bruise on her right shoulder, but the
others escaped without much injury,
except a bad shaking up.
The machine was righted and the
top and windshield were found to be
damaged slightly, but with a little
repairing at the garage Mr.. Adams
was able to drive the car home. DIR.
Harrison, who was called to attend
the injured congratulated them on
their escape from serious harm.

WAS THAN kFUL FOR
BEING GUARANTEED

The following card of thanks was
received recently by the city health
officer. II wish to thank the city au-
thorities for quarantining me and my
family for two weeks recently be-
cause one of the children had the
measles. During that time my wife
caught up with her sewing, being UNI
disturbed by callers at meal time.
We have three square meals day, as
no one came in and she wasn't per-
mitted to go out. We enjoped two
weeks of good long nights sleep, and,
best of all, cousin with four chill
dren who arrived to visit us saw the
measles sign on the door and left
town so scared she will never come
back again. ! wish to thank the au-
thorities, and hope they will be equal
ly as thoughtful Of our comfort some
time again. Lysander Johnson.

STORK VISITS THE
CITY HALL PARK

1t is rare thing for the stork to
wing its way into city park and
leave a little baby creature under the
watchfu and protecting care of its
mother. But such was the fact last
Friday at the city hall park when a
beautiful little fawn came to live
with its father and mother, Pete and
Topsy, and add another attraction to
the grounds.
Topsy is very proud of her baby and
is alert to any danger that confronts
it. A cat came into the enclosure and
Topsy was after the feline in an in
slant, chasing it out and stamping at
it with her fore-feet. Father Pete
also, whose horns are now in the vel
vet, looks wise and tips his head, as
much as to say Glands off" or there
will be trouble. Mr.. and Mrs. Cook
are as much pleased as their pets are
over the arrival and they have named
it Trixey.

NIGHT CLERK EQUAL
TO THE EMERGENCY

Had it not been for the watchful
care which Gilbert ID. Chase gives TO
his position as night clerk in Hotel
Belding there might have been SER
ious conflagration in the hotel last
Thursday night. During the severe
electric storm one of the heavy bolts
of lightning sent a current into one
of the rooms fronting the south on the
upper floor 1t came in apparently
on one of the light wires and sparks
dropping from it around the fixture
fell on to the bed blankets, setting
them on fire, causing a smudge.
The room was unoccupied but
Henry" as he is familiarly known,
who is always on the job whenever a
storm comes up in the night hurried
to the upper floor to see if every thing
was all right and discovered the dan
gerous situation at once. 1t did not
take him long to put out the fire and
avert further trouble, which in all
probability a half hour later would
have been serious. Mr.. Chase has
been an employee Of the hotel for the
past IL years.

THE SOAP TAKERS
CAME TO GRIEF

The fake soap peddlers, who were
in this city few weeks ago and
swindled lot of our good housewives
out of a dollar for what they said
was a far better grade of soap than
ivory or Kinks family soap, came to
grief in Cadillac They were arrest
ed and fined $500 each and ninety
days in Jail for swindling more than
500 purchasers of the stuff.
There method of making a sale was
to use bar of good soap in demon
strating its qualities and deliver a
cheap lot, which the longer it was
rubbed in water the less suds result
ed. When the delivery was made
here Mrs. Ed. Webster happened to
be washing when the fellow brought
in her order. She began using it at
once. Finding she had been stung
she piled the stuff into basket and
soon overlook the man requiring him
to take it and pay the money back.

EN- BY LOCAL SQUAD. SCORE
WAS 2 TO

The locals slipped the wool over the
Grand Rapids Seaters here last Satur-
day and carried off the second game
of the season by the slim score of two
to one. Only twice, until the eighth
inning, did the visitors have any show
whatever for scoring. In the second
inning Payne of the visitors circled
the diamond to third slab, but was
not fleet enough TO score before Gro
dick, who had made first, was thrown
out at second retiring the side.
In the sixth inning Quick took third
on an overthrow to his terminal point
and then tried to score on the error.
Considerable discussion ensued, but
Umpire Durham stood firm on the
rules, tone base on an overthrow,
and Quick returned to third. He was
prevented from scoring when Trov-
enger was thrown out at first by Ma
honey. Hudnutt and Wheeler each
drew a two-bagger and Mahoney got
away with two singles.

One Hundred dollars Fine

We are sure that there are none of
our citizens who desire to run up
against a fine Of 500 but there has
been cases which people of this vic
Unity might easily have been forced
to pay that sum.
The post office regulations require
that no communications be placed in
a parcel post package under a penalty
of 500 fneg The regulation also
provides that where a message is de-
sired to accompany the parcel the
message may be fastened to the par
eel with first class postage attached
and the regular parcel post postage
affixed to the parcel. The late rule
of safety First" will be a good one
to follow in this matter and may save
you lot of needless worry and ex-
pense.

SMYRNA BOY WON A
COVETED PRIZE TRIP

Mrs. Harold Gardner is the winner Of

county.
This prize is given to the boy over
fourteen and under eighteen years of

had the best paper in agriculture and
the highest general average in the
county. The paper in agriculture
was not the regular examination in
that subject but was a special examin-
alton Of seventy questions and it was
well worth the effort as all expenses
are paid to the fair for four days.
Wright with Lloyd Hogan and Ted
dy Davis, the eighth grade graduates
from the Button school will enter the
Belding high school the coming year.
