FORMER OLD RESIDENT
AMAZED AT PROGRESS

j. C. Bently of Richmond, Va, was
in the city a few hours Saturday
while waiting for the train to Ionia.
He had been to Stanton to visit a
brother and was also in Michigan to
visit another brother in Ionia before
returning home to Virginia.
Mr.. Bently was former resident
of Cooks Corners and resided with a
brother, VIM. H. Bently, attending
school there when William Ball was
the teacher before the Civil war, and
was well acquainted with all the old
time settlers in that community.
When the war broke out he enlisted
in the 25th Michigan Infantry at
Grand Rapids and served three
years. Mr.. Bently at one time was
principal of the Palo school. He is
eighty years old and is so remark
ably we'll preserved that he wouldn't
be taken for more than sixty. A few
years ago his son-in-law, with whom
he lives, moved to Richmond, and
Mr.. Bently expects to spend the re-
mainder of his days in that historic
southern city. He was much sur
prised with the wonderful change of
fifty years ago.

BR|CKER-;H AM MAN
FISHING CLUB TO
meet ON TUESDAY
JULY 81 SET AS DAY FOR AN
NUAL GATHERING AT BRICK
Err PARK, LONG LAKE

President w. F. Bricker of the
Bricker-Hamman Fishing club an
nounces that the annual meeting and
picnic of the club will be held at
Bricker Park, Long Lake, next Tues
day, July 81. This is eleven days
earlier than it was held last year, as
il came on August IL then. The
date was set in July this year be-
cause it is next to impossible to
catch enough fish to feed the hungry
merchants and others who attend the
meetings, after the early fishing sea-
son has past.
William Orser will be in charge of
the big fish dinner and has selected
the members of his committee to
provide the substantial foods in suf-
ficient quantities. The other pic
nicers will take the lighter foods.
Frank Harlan, H. j. Leonard and w.
l.. Cusser are Chef Orser's assist
ants on the committee.
This is the fourth gathering of the
Bricker-Hamman party. The event
was originated by Bricker and f. p.
Hamman when fishing contest was
held, the losing side to serve the din
ner to the winners. When it was made
an annual event last year the con-
test feature was dropped.

.BELD|NG FOUNDRY
COMPANY IS DOING
EXCELLENT WORK
MANAGER H. A. STOKOE SAYS
HE is UNABLE TO GET MEN
TO PRODUCE WORK

The Belding Foundry company is
doing a nice business with some of
the automobile and truck manufacture
ers since its organization. The COM
pany is receiving an exceptionally
nice line of work from the United
Motors company for their trucks.
Manager X. A. Stokoe is well
pleased with the way the work is
coming along. He is now using ten
moulders and would be glad to get
several more if they could be OBJ
tanned. The orders are arriving
faster than the men can handle them.
The plant is producing some first
class work, in fact, it shows more
than the usual amount Of skill in the
completed work.
The two new additions, planned
when the company was organized,
are completed. One of them extends
west from the original building and
is used for an office and storage for
finished work awaiting shipment. The
upper floor is used for storage of
patterns, etc. The other addition is
on the north end of the building. A
portion of the room is for a second
core oven and the rest is used for
raw materials and floor work.
The foundry is one Of the busy
places in Belding. 1t will undoubt-
edly grow to be one of the dependable
industries of the city.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
ELECT NEW OFFICERS

f. c. Lloyd was reelected presi-
dent; Fred l.. Warner, secretary; and
A. M. Hall was made treasurer of
the board of education at its annual
meeting held Tuesday afternoon. The
meeting was held primarily for or
ganization and but little business was
transacted. The recent developments
in the army draft may make it neces-
sary to find new teacher of science
and agriculture to replace George w.
Pellet as he was drawn early in the
lottery and will be compelled to re-
port for examination at once. The
death of Miss Alice Gallagher, teach
er of the sixth grade, in Ann Arbor
will necessitate a new teacher in that
grade.
Luther M. Berry qualified as a
member of the board, by making an
affidavit to the effect that he is a
member of the +. J. Knapp company
and pays taxes through that firm.

GRAND RAPIDS BRASS
COMPANY PRODUCING

Shortage of men makes it impos-
sible for the local branch of the
Grand Rapids Brass company to pro-
duce the work at hand as fast as de-
sired. The company is anxious to Sc
cure more experienced men for work
in the foundry. About fifteen men
are now trying to produce the work
and keep pace with the orders, but
are unable to do so.
ID. w. Tower, president of the
company, and Fred H. Doerr, ,anoth-
er of the head officials of the COM
pany, were in the city Tuesday on
business in connection with the pro-
duction.
Besides the shortage of men the
company is having considerable trou-
bic with freight deliveries between
Belding and Grand Rapids.

BARRY AND IONA
COUNTY EDITORS
HAVE JOINT MEET
PUBLISHERS WERE GUESTS OF
MR.. AND MRS. A. J. DAMN OF
LAKE ODESSA

Belongs employing printers were
members of Ionia and Barry county
publishers associations, who met in

first annual outing. Those who at
tended were: o. +. Webster, Mr.. and
Mrs. f. b. Lapham, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
M. Lagnston and son, John, Ed. ID.
Engemann.
The publishers of Ionia and Barry
counties were guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. j. Damn and the members of their
Office force. The meeting was held in
Lakeside Grove, a beautiful strip of
woods just outside the village Of Lake
Odessa and bordering on the waters
of Lake Jordan. Sessions were held
in a pavilion on the waters where
the lake breezes cooled the heated
brows of the weary pen-pushers.
The meeting opened in the after
noon with vocal solo by Stanley
Damn, who was encored because of
his ability as a singer and because
of the sentiment expressed in his sell
ection. In the absence of Fred j.
Mauren Of Portland, A. j. Damn act
ed as chairman of the meeting and
also extended a cordial welcome to
the publishers. A response was given
by Editor C. F. Field of Hastings.
Printing Office Insurance" was the
topic assigned to Len w. Feighner of
Nashville and he brought many help
full suggestions to the assembly on
the vital topic. Discussion of the
subject was then led by j. NJ. Lang
ston. The topic was handled as
symposium with every publisher
present contributing part to the
subject.
Miss Helen Baerd, daughter of
Robert Baerd of Ionia, was enthusi-
astically cheered following readings
given by her in a very accomplished
manner. Latter in the evening she
was presented with a cash purse as
appreciation from the publishers for
her appearance.
The five o'clock picnic dinner serv-
ed in the grove was sumptuous
feast regardless of the fact that the
h. C. |. is working havoc with the
bank accounts of publishers every
where. y Not all the hungry mouths
could dispose of the tempting good
things, and there was gathered from
the fragments many baskets of rare
delicacies.
After the dinner hour the ScrlbeS
assembled in the pavailion, where
some of the number, being less weary
than the rest, found pleasure in shak-
ing their feet to the tune of.some
lively piano music. Fred ID. Keister
of Pewamo was the leading speaker
of the evening, discussing the ever vi
tai topic, "Why a Bald-Headed Barb
er Can Sell Hair Tonic" Mr.. Keister
showed his usual wit in handling the
subject. Because NJ. l.. Cook of
Hastings was unable to be present,
Z. B. Lapham was called upon to
lead in the discussion after Mr.. Keis-
ter had finished.
The meeting closed with a jovial
fifteen-minute farewell and vote Of
the Ionia county publishers to accept
the invitation of Messrs. Keister and
Buchanan to hold the next meeting
either in Pewamo or Lyons. Every
one was most enthusiastic in express
sions of pleasure to Mr.. and Mrs.
Damn for the enjoyable time given
the guests.

DELIVERY COMPANY AN
N0UNCE TIME CHANGE

The. Belding Delivery Company in
another column Of the Banner an
nounces slight change in their de-
livery schedule which will 60 into eff

but four, two in the forenoon and two
in the afternoon, the first one at 1880
in the morning. On Saturdays, how
ever, the last delivery will be made at
five o'clock p. m. The company has
recently been to considerable expense

tor truck delivery wagon and now

prompt delivery. Their two new REQ
Wagons are operated by Lawrecne
Gephart and Harry Barber who cover
the territory in fine shape. The trend
of public sentiment today is for con-
servation and the eliminating and
curtailment of expense wherever pos
sible and the delivery company in
conferring with many of their GUS
toners are assured that the early
morning delivery can be dispensed
with without Inconvenience. A hearty
cooperation on the part of patrons
with the company in its efforts to
