SAYS UNITED STATES
MUST LEND TO FRANCE

Paris, Aug. 6.-The Journal Des
Bats, in prominent review of finance
yesterday, calls attention that it is
Americas imperative duty to recog-
nize obligations toward France which
1t cannot escape and that it must open
credits to the Allies as large as may
be required without which they can
not continue the war. The article
points out that the status Of the
United States is different now that
she is in the war and says that it
must not expect the same securities
as when her standing was on private
basis.

CROPS ARE BOOMING
ON THE BElDING FARM

Fred Smith, manager Of the Beld-
ing Jersey farm, has kept business
moving on that soil and will harvest
some big crops if present indications
are any criterion to judge by. He
has four acres of corn, the most Of
which on July third, was knee high;
twenty-eight acres of timothy, over
three feet tall; ten acres of alfalfa,
over two and one-nalf feet, with a
growth so heavy as TO clog the NOW
ing machine frequently while cutting
it and eighteen acres Of heavy clover.
Mr.. Smith had specimens of each
which he exhibited in the Banner Of
flee Tuesday.
The alfalfa has been cut and he ex-
poets to harvest another yield this
fall and possibly a third cutting be-
fore snow flies. He says alfalfa will
grow if it is cared for properly.

MUSICAL RECITAL BY
PUPILS OF MISS LAMB

On Friday evening last the pupils
Of Miss Marguerite Lamb assisted by
Clayton Knapp gave a most interest
ing piano recital at the Lamb home.
A large company were present and
from start to finish the program was
carried out in a most delightful man
ner, rejecting much credit upon the
years work accomplished by Miss
Lamb and her pupils.
From this large class of young peo-
pie entering upon a painstaking and
systematic musical development it is
easy TO anticipate a much stronger
and better musical talent for Bedding
as the years go by and Belding is for
tunate in retaining Miss Lamb as a
musical instructor for our young peo-
pie.
Clayton Knapp in two solos added
much to the pleasure of. the evening.
The following is the list of pupils
who participated: Eleanor Curtis,
Olive Curtis, Valentine McNally, Es-
ther Rowley, Larissa Bigley, Eleanor

.L|NCOLN'S STORE
WILL HAVE A NEW
FRONT ENTRANCE
WORK OF REMODELING THE
WORK OF REMODELING 1T WILL
BEGIN NEXT MONDAY

Lincoln's department store is still
featuring a remodeling sale to move
the stock before remodeling the store.
The contract for building a new front
to the block has been let by Charles
O'Bryon to Joe Tupper. Work is to
begin on the front next Monday, and
Mr.. Tupper hopes to finish it within
a month. The new front elevation
will not change the present location of
stone pillars. The entrance to the up
per floor will remain the same ex-
cept new paneled doors will be added.
The store front will consist of two
entrances, one on either side. The
doors will be in the middle of the
fronts and will be three feet in width.
To each side of the doors will be three
and one-half feet of window display
space before the outer glass meets
with the show windows that will ex-
tend along each side of the entrances.
The doors will be set back from the
sidewalk seven feet and the show
windows will be three feet deeper
than this, making them ten feet deep
from the sidewalk.
The entrances will be seven feet
deep, seven feet wide and will have
plate glass windows surrounding
them. This will give the Lincoln
store a handsome front and plenty
of window space. The design of the
front is one of the best known and is
especially suited for the display of
dry goods and merchandise such as
the Lincoln store carries.

Fred Harding was made president,

at meeting in the city hall last week
Tuesday evening. Peter Wedge was
elected as director.
The purpose of the new organiza-

are vitally interested in this city hav-
ing one of the best bands in the state
and will lend every effort to make it
so. They need assistance and CO.
operation of the citizens Of the city
both financially and otherwise.
At the meeting held a week ago
fourteen members of the band were
present and manifested a lively inter-
est in the movement for a better band.
They all felt the need of more music
and frequent rehearsals. Concert

the success of the organization.

KENNETH MOON
SOLDIER BOY WRITES
LETTER FROM TEXAS
Bros nsville, Texas,
June 21, 1917.

Dear Mother:
l got your letter to-day and will
try and answer it right away. We
just came back from the target range
day before yesterday. Some of the
fellows from Troop H. were out there
at the same time. George and Leo
among them. George and / both
made marksmen and will get an in
crease in pay. / read Bill Rusher's
letter in the News and he has got it
doped out just about right, although
| am not a bit sorry that joined.
Well, I've got to go to the stables
for water now and will finish when
get back. l am here again. 1t is
after retreat and have nothing now
until 600 in the morning.
We had mounted drill this morning,
the first we have had since we went
to the range. In our drills we have
our military maneuvers the same as
they have on foot, only we are mount
ed and go through them at trot or
gallop. ] wish you could see them
once. Then | guess you would think
| could ride any horse in Michigan.
I'm telling you we had to learn to
ride before we were ever introduced
to the troop drill. You see, we have
about 100 men and we assemble in
columns of forty and they strike up
trot or gallop, then the order comes
to dismount and fight on foot. The
numbers one, two and four jump off
from their horses and turn them over
to number three, then the horses are
taken to the rear by the number
threes of each column of fours. When
you stop to think that we mount and
dismount at full speed you know we
have had to learn something, but that
is the best part of it, | guess we
will be here for a month yet before
we leave. Well, I'll come to a close,
With love,
Kenneth.

AGNES JONAS SEWERS
COM MERGE BOARD TIES

Agnes Jonas, for two years assist
ant in the office Of the Board of Com
merce, has severed her connection
with the board. She handed in her
resignation to take effect last Satur-
day.
Miss Jonas felt that her experience
in the work was sufficient to command
a greater salary than the local board
was able to pay for an assistant. She
has not definitely decided on her fu-
ture work, but will probably take up
similar work in a larger field.
Before going to the Board Of Com
merce Miss Jonas was employed by
the Banner, and the Banner manage
ment agreed to release her to the
board with reluctance. She is known
by everyone in Belding and surround
ing country, and hence was a valuable
employee on the Banner, and has also
been of value to the commerce board.
