These are the Days When the
Man Who Forgot is Forgotten
BY j. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager Of Wanam.ke Philadelphia

Even the who forgot the semaphore and killed
hundred people seldom remembered by He simply
passes out of the lives and the activities of men.
1t behooves us all to remember And memory? Memory
is the shortestlived of all the faculties.
In scientific tests made few twas found
that reaches its cearest about twenty minutes
after From then the picture dms And
what hold wildly minds after
is not the memory but the imagination of it.
Now hundreds of people trying to impress big
idea upon eeng day They trying to
tell about their their merchandise their advan
of kind other They trying to impress upon
the advantages of their mesaver their
They trying tell luxury ought have
They trying to give mental picture of necessity
They spending great deal of money in doing this And
only fair when they all this effort for benefit
that should at least give them small part of active
attention.
The these people advertise again and again and
again because will not compel TO what they
have our minds to remember it. And they
obliged compel for And they do it in
they have also learned that constant repe
ton the greatest method of training the and nstng
in important fact into minds
But point that advertising far important
buy than for those who SELL For advertising has
come signify emblem of good faith throughout
all the channels of trade
those of who have not learned to read the adj
vertisng and to remember its constantly being
tricked in price and fooled in quality.
We the who lose out in the fight We are the
at the semaphore. We who forget are forgotten.

BASE BALL SEASON
BECOME THE TOPIC
OF INTEREST SOON
CHARACTER OF TEAM SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT TO BE
PRIDE OF CITY

Within a few short weeks the spirit
of base ball will be creeping into the
veins of the local fans, and they will
begin to inquire about the prospec-
tive lineup of the team which will
lead Belding to victory in 1917.
The local grounds are recognized
to be second to none in the state, and
will require but a small amount of
work next spring to place them in
excellent condition. Part of the out
field will be benefited by filling and
the work can be done with little ex-
pense. The grandstand is as good as
can be found in any city.
In selecting the team and making
up a slate this city wants to have a
delegation fit to cope with any semi
pro team in the state and team that
will give this city the good, classy
ball its fans deserve. Every effort
should be made to sign classy play
ers and fast men, but the amount Of
money the management will be able
to pay will govern in the choice of
some extent. This city was placed
on the base ball map two years ago
in fine shape and it is the earnest
hope of all local fans that Belding's s
position at the close of the coming
season will not be any less noticeable.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL
COMPLETED LAST WEEK

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Raby return
ed home from Lansing last week.
where they had been to complete the
deal for the sale of their farm. The
deed to the property was made to the
realty company which purchased it
and Mr.. Raby was paid $4,000 in
cash.
AS a result of the rise in real es-
tate in the capitol city on account Of
the business boom there, Mrs and
Mrs. Raby have made a neat little
sum from their purchase FIVE years
ago. They bought out the interest
of the other heirs in the property at
that time, paying them $5,50000
which gives them a cleanup of $14,
500. Their son, Artie Raby, who has
been operating the farm, is moving
to Eureka, mile east Of Greenville,
on the Dana Bower farm, which Mr..
and Mrs. Raby have purchased, the
consideration being $6,200
The farm is one of the best in Eu-
reka township and Mr.. Raby says it
is much better for farming purposes
than the Lansing property.
Mr.. Bower, who is retiring from
active business life, has sold his per-
sonal property at auction and moved
to Greenville.

The SILK INDUSTRY
FILMS ARE SHOWN
IN OTHER CITIES
STERLING QLLINOIS) DAILY
TELLS OF INTEREST ATTACH
ED TO LOCAL MILLS

The following clipping from Ster-
ling, Illinois) daily concerning the
Romance of Silk" shows that Beld-
ing and its silk industries are get
ting a lot of publicity through the
moving picture films, which originat-
ed here and which were shown here
for the first time last fall. The pic
lures are now being shown not only
throughout the United States, but all
over the world. In part the clipping
says:
"A large and interesting crowd of
ladies and gentlemen of this commu-
nifty were delightfully."- entertained
last evening at the j. X. Chester Co.
store with a novel film entitled "The
Romance of Silk" which was intend
ed to show how silk is made, begin
ming with the silk worm, the culti-
vation of the mulberry tree, the rear
ing of silk worms and the reeling of
silk.
"The reel consisted of 1000 feet
showing the entire silk industry in
Japan from the incubation of the silk
worm eggs to the finished product as
made by Belding Bros. & Co. in their
big silk mills at Belding, Mich. Silk
worm eggs are so small and light
at their inception that it takes 10000
of them to weigh single ounce. The
worms, however, grow rapidly and
they increase $4,000 times in weight
in 80 days. The silk worms that
come from 10000 eggs consume one
ton of mulberry leaves in 30 days.
"The picture showed the method of
raising the worm and the worms
working in the cocoons. The devel-
opment of the picture also illustrated
the method of removing the fibre
from the cocoons and placing it on
the reel. from which the fibre is re-
wound into skeins. 1t is said to take
$50 fibres to make a single silk thread
of size A.
at was brought out in the enter
tainment that pure silk will burn
readily while weighted silks which
use about eighty per cent Of tin will
not burn readily. The tin is put in
the silk . give it weight.
"Bciding silks are absolutely pure
and the manufacturers guarantee to
replace any piece in case it cracks.
Pure silk will not tear easily but silk
in which a large per cent of tin has
been used tears readily.
"The J. X. Chester Co. have a spe-
cial exhibit of cocoons and silk worms
which was most interesting to those
present.
Following each picture, there be-
ing two presentations each night;
which last an hour each, on a stage
built in the southeast end Of the rug
section, two models, Miss Agnes Lit
tie, and Miss Bertha O'Hare. were
prettily draped by Arthur Hoover,
advertising manager and decorator
for the Chester store. The stage
decorations were cubist relief and
spring flowers.
Ernest L. Mcclure, of Chicago,
representative of Belding Bros. &
Co., had charge of the film exposi-
ton"
