interest in the Empress at this place.
Wright is the son of o. G. Wright of
o. c. Wright Of Ionia. He is young
man of good experience. He has
owned and operated .the Family
Theatre at Lowell the last year and
always with good success. He will
devote his energy and long expert
ence to giving the people of Belding

years. He will continue to serve his
patron son the Smyrna route, devot-
ing what time he can to the Belding

with Mr.. Wright.
Messrs. Wright and Joslin will
make some changes in the conduct of

A. ". Belding GrdtifeG

A. n. Belding was most eminently
pleased with the success of the pro-
gram surrounding the laying of the
cornerstone to the magnificent libr-
ary he is giving to the city. He
said he did not know he had so many
friends in Belding. On his arrivel
there were roses on all sides of the
hotel roses in his rooms, on the ta-
bles and. using his expression: 'Roses
in the faces of all the Belding peo-
Pile" Surely Belding citizens ex-
pressed themselves to Mr.. Belding in
a meager enough manner during his
short stay here, in return for the fine
gift he made.

THE Y. M. C. A.
ARE BUSY IN CAMP

Ivan Mccormick of Fort Ethan
Allen in Vermont, a Portland Mich }
boy, writes on interesting letter to
G. +. Angel, secretary of the Ionia
County Y. MIC. A., and referring to
the work Of the Y. NJ. G. "A. 'associa-
tion in camp says:
"There are two big tents and two
buildings operated by the Y. NJ. G. A.
and every evening one has to wait for
room to write home, no matter which
building he is in, and the officials are
constantly out of stamps. Just think
how many mothers are receiving ex-
ira letters.
There are reading tables in each
building and magazines of all kinds,
newspapers and also a library of fine
books. Checkerboards and music all
the time-piano, victrola, orchestra
and singing, and, as Colonel Dickman
said, it nearly takes the place of
home.
"On Monday, Wednesday and Sat-
urday nights / think as many as a
thousand boys gather outside and
watch the free moving pictures.
"Now a French class is started. 1t
is conducted by "Y" man evenings.
Colonel Rivers gave the "Y" credit
for this.
"Men are brought here on evenings
to talk, and one night we heard a
sheep-herder who happened to drop
into a dance hall about three years
ago. The dance hall was being used
as a church that night, and since then
he has been boosting for a better life.
He encouraged the fellows to get
Bibles. Well, when | got up the next
morning noticed one of the Y. M. C.
A. Proverb books lying one the table
of our tent, / don't know yet which
one of the fellows put it there"
