BENEFIT
BY AGO. SCHOOL
WILL Be BETTERED
G. w. PELLET, AGRICULTURAL
TEACHER IN CITY SCHOOLS,
WILL EDIT DEPARTMENT

Farmers Of this community should
derive more benefit from the state
agricultural school at East Lansing.
As a special direct benefit TO the
farmers surrounding Bedding an
agricultural course was placed in the
local high school last fall. The
teacher in charge, George w. Pellet,
is a graduate of Michigan Agricultur-
al College, a farmer by birth and
was reared on a farm. He is mem
Der of the local Grange and actively
associated with the farm interests Of
this section.
In addition to the class work being
done by Mr. Pellet in the school the
Banner has secured his services to
edit and take charge of a special new
department in its columns. In this
new column Mr.. Pellet will discuss
topics of vital and direct interest to
the local conditions. He will advise
upon farm problems in the light of
experiments gained in practical work
at the college. Should any farmer
of the community desire further in
formation, on any topic discussed,
Mr.. Pellet will be pleased to meet
anyone and give the benefit of his ex-
perience at the college.
In opening the department. this week
Mr.. Pellet urges farmers in all dir
ections from Bedding to secure ac-
count books prepared by the agricul-
tural college and begin the keeping
of simple record of their business.
The book is free and is prepared in
clear, concise form, which will take
little or no time. 1t will be a direct
benefit to any farmer who will do the
accounting.
Every farmer will be interested in
the new Agricultural Department.
Read it every week.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY
ENJOYED TEA PARTY
Ladies Dressed in Oriental Costumes.
Decorations Also Conveyed
Same Idea

The home of Mrs. Vern Sprague
was the meeting place of the Wom--
ems Foreign Missionary Society of
the M. Z. church last Saturday. There
were about twenty-five in attendance
and a stranger entering the house
would surely think that Indian and
Oriental splendor had dropped from
the clouds and invaded it.
The ladies having charge of the ar
rangements had spared no pains in
making the rooms and surroundings
resplendent in keeping with the oc-
casion. There were the high and low
caste of India and also no caste pre-
sent, but all believing that when in
America they must do as Americans
do, they mingled together freely and
enjoyed it very much.
Evidently an Indian tea party was
in progress and the decorations and
costumes worn were of such excel
lence thaS.-the Hindus seemed loath
to depart. But after a typical Indian
hnch, like the Arabs they folded
their tents and silently stole away.

buried at Denver Monday, has tinge
Of sadness for Art Strong of this city,
one of the proprietors if the barber
shop in Hotel Bedding block. Art
was a member of the old scouts Wild
West show for three years, and was
his favorite barber. He shaved Mr..
Cody every day as he was very parti-
cular TO look neat and clean during
every performance, and the old vet
eran became much attached TO Art
not only becausesof his tonsorial abil-
ity, but also for his other stunts in
riding broncho, robbing the stage
coach, scaling fences, and shooting
at Indians.
Mr.. Strong was presented with a
fine picture by the old scout himself,
sitting on his horse in front Of one
of the circus tents which he now
prizes very highly and is having it
framed to hang in his shop.

New Front Windows of Fnstoe 6
Diuine Store rs They Now Appear

The new front to the Hub clothing store
is now in use. Herewith we show picture
of the new windows from an actual photo
graph taken this week. The picture shows
the windows with their first trim. 1t was
impossible to display goods in the big out
side case, because the varnish was not dry.
The picture, however, gives you a good idea
of the front as it appears from the street.
The windows of the Fristoe & Divine
store, Git will be known by this name in the
future) are now the most up-to-date of any
in the city A complete plate-glass front is
presented to the street, which gives fifty
three front feet of display space. The win
dows are ten feet deep from the street line.
The doors are of heavy oak and beveled
plate-glass. The background of the win
dows is of beautiful quartered oak, pan
eled in attractive shapes. The floors are
also of solid oak and the whole woodwork
is finished in a dull golden finish. SER
les of holophane refectors throw the light
from the overhead lamps, down over the
entire surface All the glass in the windows
is set in copper, nothing but copper showing
on the outside except narrow strip above
the whole window.
Above the show windows a solid strip of
prism glass three feet in width extends the
full length of the store front. This will be
replaced later by tiled prism glass, which
will throw twice the light into the store
that the present ones reflect. An error
was made in shipping the present glass
which accounts for the contemplated
change.

CONCRETE DAM IS
COMPLETED. PLANT
IS MOST MODERN
BEST DAM ALONG FLAT RIVER
CONSTRUCTED OF SOLID CON-
CRETE; HAS THREE GATES

The Spencer Electric Light and
Power company has completed its
new concrete dam at Smyrna. 1t is
known as the best plant along Flat
river. The dam proper is composed
of solid concrete. Three gates, each
twenty-five feet in width, regulate the
flow of water TO the wheels. The
gates are operated by electric hoists,
and each may be raised or lowered at
will Independent of the others.
The fish ladder, required at all
dams, is built entirely of concrete
and is Of the latest and best type. The
plans for the new dam were drawn
by the w. G.. Fargo Engineering COM
pany of Jackson. During the time
the plant was being constructed the
designers had a man there constantly
overseeing the work. The actual
work Of building was in charge of
Price Bros, Of East Jordan.
During the twenty-siX years since
, the Spencer Light and Power COM
pany has been operating it has met
with several disasters. Numerous
floods have caused damages at the
plant. The dam has been swept out
twice and other things have reduced
the earnings of the company. With
the completion Of the present struc-
ture the men in charge consider that
it will withstand almost any casual
ity that may come.
The power plant at Smyrna is in
charge of Clare Gardner and Henry
Harris, Bert Case and Alvin Dodds
are the electricians on the lines and
in Belding. The whole plant is in
charge of J. +. Stanton, who is also
secretary-treasurer of the company.
