is expected that a resolution will be in
troduced in city council at a meeting
of that body which will be held Tues
day night fixing a speed for fire engines
responding to fire alarms.
Some time ago a speed of twelve miles
an hour was fixed upon as the speed
for the motor engine. This, however,
was found to be entirely too slow and
greater speed was afterward permitted.
However in order to clarity the situa-
ton and end the controversy over speed
a set speed will be fixed upon by the
city council. thereby avoiding controver-
sizes that might possibly arise in the fu-
tllre.

COMPLIMENTS RAY
MCCONNELL AT CAMP

When it comes to eating there is
not company in the camp that can
equal Capt. Gordon's crew, says Fred
Grimes in the Press in his writeup
of Camp Custer. There is no reason
for complaint on the food or the cook
ing.
c. r. Mcconnell IS the cook. Mac
is an old timer at the game and he
got his training with Ringling's
circus and we are getting the best
circus food ever produced. Feeding
a circus is hard job but Mcconnell
is having his hands full now and saya
there is not circus on the road that
can compare with that company of
ours.
Lieut.. Holcomb is the officer in
charge of the mess and he has an
nounced that he is going to stay up
all night if necessary to see that the
men get the right kind of food and
plenty of it. In his selection of Nc
Connell as a cook he played an ace
and he came right back on the next
play with another ace when the made

FARMERS CLUB
ENTERTAINED BY
HALL AND WORTLEY
DISCUSS PLANS FOR COOPERA-
TION OF FARMERS AND MER-
CHANTS OF COMMUNITY

Adelbert M. Hall and wife and Mr..
and Mrs. Glenn Wortley entertained
the members of the East Otisco
Farmers club at the Wortley home
last Thursday. About sixty people
attended the gathering and enjoyed
the day.
The tables were placed in the base
ment of the home, where all could be
gathered in one large room. The ta-
bles and walls were tastefully deco
rated with flowers and other suitable
decorations.
Following the dinner a program of
interest was held. One of the discus
sions that occasioned comment was
as to the ways and means farmers
could cooperate with the merchants
and city people. Secretary Puffer Of
fered a suggestion for permanent i'm
provement of crops and livestock. The
plan would be to purchase a quantity
of seed corn, wheat, etc., and supply
the farmers with stated amounts.
This amount and also a small selec-
tion would be returned at harvest
time for distribution to the farmers
and for inspection by the state col
lege experts. A similar plan could
be worked, Mr.. Puffer asserted, with
hogs, cattle, etc, the farmer benefited
each time returning a portion of the
increase for redistribution. Besides
benefiting the farmers and their crops
it would also standardize crops, ami
mails and methods in the community
to the betterment of everyone.

homes of these would-be patrons. Ac-
tually figuring an expenditure of 500
year in the Banner represents less
reached by the Banner. That is
working cheap enough, isn't it?
There are approximately 800 homes
in Belding and at least 700 homes in
territory adjacent to Belding that
should be vitality interested in the
business concerns of Belding, and
these business concers should be as
vitality interested in supplying these
1900 families with the necessaries
and luxuries of life, and the care of
savings for the future. In fact, each
is dependent upon the other. CO.
operation can be most easily, cheaply
and effectively established and main
tanned through the Banner.
IL is not our intention to belittle
past or present efforts of our patrons,
but to show the opportunity on the
doorstep. If it is worth 81 per in
dividual in city to carry. business
message once, il surely is worth sew
en- cents per home for fifty-two is
sues of the Banner, in a prosperous
city and rural community like this.
We are not begging, we are not seek
ing higher prices, but we are inviting
increased patronage>for the benefit Of
every home, every merchant and the
community. Make your own applica-
ton, and if you think we fall short in
statements of efforts, let US talk it
over. There is room for talk on both
sides. THE BANNER.

ANOTHER PIONEER Is
CALLED By DEATH

Death claimed another of Ionia
county's old settlers Monday night,
when Horace Forman passed away at
the home of his ~ son-in-law, George
Phillips. Mr.. Forman had not been
feeling well for some time but was
able to be up and around. He was in
Belding last Thursday and went to
Mr.. Phillips from here. 1t is thought
a slight stroke of paralysis attacked
him and he gradually failed.
Mr.. Forman was farmer and
building mover and had led an active
life making many friends. He was
seventy-six years old and beside his
daughter, Mrs. George Phillips, he
leaves one brother, George Forman,
of this city, and sister, Mrs. Charles
Loverin Of Ionia; two grandchildren,
Ralph johnson and Eugene Smith, al
so survive him.
The funeral will be held Thursday
at two o'clock at the farm home. Bur-

HE MET DON PILKINT0N
AT CAMP CUSTER

In his writeup of visit to Camp
Custer last week Fred Mauren, editor
Of the Portland Review, has this to
say of Belding boy:
Lieut.. Fistler was in his room at
the headquarters of the officers Of Co.
II. and we stepped across the avenue
to the barracks occupied by Co. X,
where most of the Ionia and Clinton
county boys are housed. An officer
very courteously offered to accom-
pany US to the second floor, where
many of the men, having just return
ed from the drill grounds, were rest
ing. AS we stood in the hall, await
ing the officer, there was a hearty
greeting from a fine looking young
man who stood in front of US. All
soldiers look alike, save for = their
faces, and it took a second or two to
recognize the young chap as Donald
Pilkinton, of Belding-son of the late
Will Pilkinton. He was not down.
cast in the least. On the contrary
he said he was enjoying the expert
enee and eating as he never did be-
