LOCAL GIRL WEDS
CAMP CUSTER SOLDIER

Walter w. Ireland has been home
from Camp Custer to visit his wife
and other relatives here.
Mr.. Ireland and wife, Dorthy s.
Ames, were married in Battle Creek
Saturday, Sept. z, when the bride met
her soldier boy and the ceremony was
performed by the Baptist clergyman
at the parsonage.
The wedding had been arranged to
occur here but the duties of his posi-
tion were such that it was impossible
for Mr.. Ireland to get leave of alb
sence for that day to come.
The couple are very popular young
people of our city, the bride being the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Ames
who has been at Lincoln's for the past
three years and the groom is the son
of Mrs. Nellie Ireland, who managed
the hardware business of his father,
the late T. Frank Ireland until his
enlistment in the service last March.
After the ceremony they left on a
short trip to Buffalo and Niagara
Falls, Mr.. Ireland returning to Camp
Custer where his duties are in the in
surance and allotment office.
Mrs. Ireland returned home and will
still continue with the Lincoln's at the
store.
Their many friends have been show
ering them with congratulations and
best wishes.

ENJOYABLE TIME AT
TEACHERS RECEPTION

A splendid time was enjoyed by the
people of this city who took in the
reception to the local teachers at the
city hall auditorium last Friday even
ing and the time was well spent as the
people who were there and met the
teachers found them to be about as
fine a lot Of people as it is possible
to get together in city.
The time between and $3.50 o'clock
was spent in handshaking and getting
acquainted with each other and at
this time President f. c. Lloyd of the
board of education called the assem-
blage to order and the program which
was as follows, began:
Piano solo-Miss Aileen Armstrong
who responded to hearty encore.
Song, "a Perfect Day" Duncan
Kerr with A. J. Rummler at the piano.
Mr.. Kerr and Mr.. Rummler also gave
MAY God Be With Our Boys. To-
night" in response to an encore.
Reading-Mrs. r. Earle Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson is an Exceptionally good
reader and this humorous article was
especially good.
Vocal solo-Miss Louise Anderson,
with Miss Ola Fern Little at the piano.
They alsc responded to an encore.
Violin duet-The Misses Velma and
and Selma Little, with Miss Ola Fern
Little at the piano. This was excep-
tionally good.
Vocal solo, "Her Smile"-George E.
Wagner with A. j. Rummler at the
piano. Mr.. Wagner favored the aud
ience with "When The Boys Come
Home," in response to the encore that
he got to his first song.
Following the completion of the
program everyone was served with
punch and waters and at about IL
o'clock the last of the people who had
attended the enjoyable affair return
ed to their homes.
The members Of the board of educa-
ton are to be complimented with the
fine staff of teachers secured for this

rem attending the schools can well
feel proud of them.

LOCAL SAVINGS
ASSOCIATION STARTS
ITS BOTH YEAR
SPLENDID RECORD is RESULT
OF CAREFUL, EFFICIENT MAN
AGEMENT OF CONCERN.

The annual meeting of the Belding
Building q Loan association was held
in the office of Secretary George f..
Wagner on Monday evening and was
we'll attended. Guy ID. Weter acted
as chairman of the meeting and the
proposed bylaws were accepted as
read by the secretary.
The charter which was obtained
when the organization began doing
business 30 years ago this coming
May, was renewed for 80 years more
and the capital was increased from one
to five million dollars. This in
crease in the capital will allow of the
association to take care of any sudden
increase in business which might come
to this city either directly after the
war or later, or will allow Of any
emergency in that line.
The Belding Building & Loan asso-
citation was organized nearly 80 years
ago by number of local men, as a
purely mutual organization, for the
purpose of enabling persons desirous
of borrowing money to build homes
or buy homes at nominal rate of in
terest and during the 80 years Of
which it can well feel proud. Start
which it can feel sproud. Start
has today in the neighborhood of 800
and has more than $141, 900 worth of
assets.
Fred A. Washburn and II. j. Leon
ard, two of the old original board Of
directors, whose terms expired this
year, were unanimously reelected to
hold the office for another year. Both
of thse men are now serving their
Both year in this capacity. Other di-
rectors in the association are: w. l..
Cusser, f. B. Lapham, G..E. Wortley,
John b. Arnwine, w. p. Hetherington,
George z. Wagner and G.. ID. Weter.
I. The splendid record made by the as
sociation ought to recommend it to
anyone contemplating the borrowing
of money to buy a home or the in
vesting of money in a safe business
proposition paying a good rate Of
interest.

In the First ward the registration
board took the names of 116 men and
in the Second ward, 80 men were reg
istered, while the old Third ward roll

Cavalry officers learn to read a
horses character from its color. The
bright chestnuts and light bays are
high-spirited, but nervous and deli
cate Dark chestnuts and glossy
blacks are hardy and good tempered.
Rich bays have great spirit but are
teachable. Dark and iron. grays are
hardy and sound while light grays
are the opposite. Roans are the
hardest and best working Of all, even
tempered, easiest to train, taking
kindly to everything. Rusty blacks
are stubborn. A horse with one
white stocking is a bad one; with two,
its temper is uncertain; with three,
it is absolutely safe, while horse
with four white stockings may be
trusted short time only.-The Peo-

We must beg the pardon OF our cor
respondents for failing to send out
stationery and envelopes as we have
been requested to do by them in the
past few months. The fact that we
have been unable to secure the pro-

placed the burden Of all this work up
on too few people and we are now
sending out stationery to all those

asked. To those who do not receive
stationery this week, we ask that they
notify US once more and from now on
we will have the two systems of the

better care of this matter in the fu-
ture. We have. done cur best since

ENGLISH Is TAUGHT IN
OUR ARMY CAMP SCHOOLS

To appreciate the big problem of
the foreign-speaking soldier and to
realize how near Nthe Army has come
to its solution, one should observe
him at work in the camp, see him
covered with the dust of the parade
ground, and watch him studying N
his schools in the evenings.
/ The method of these schools is sim,
pie. The letters of the English al
rhabet are written large on a huge
blackboard and pronounced over and
over again so that their Sound" be
comes fixed in the ear Then the
class reeites them in unison; ther
individually; then the instructor
skips about the alphabet with his
long pointer and the individuals try
to call the, letters correctly.
Recently an officer from Washing
ton visited such school in one o
the environments. The instructor, al
Italian, was on his mettle and wished
the entire class to be so too. All o
them did well, but only one was 10
per cent perfect. This man Gale,
off the letters accurately, missing no
single one, though the instructo
pointed them out in every way ca
culated to confuse him.

INCREASED CONSUMPTION
OF ORANGES ONE RESULT
OF SUGAR SHORTAGE

Attributing the large orange con-
sumption this season to the increased
demands made on the crop by the
thousands of orange-juice stands that
have sprung up throughout the Unit
ed States in the last year, the editor
Of the Fruit World says:
"The worldwide shortage of sugar,
estimated at approximately 100000
tons annually since the war began,
has caused the restriction of sugar
consumption in the manufacture of
many of the popular summer drinks.
This has increased the consumption
CT oranges this year and has created
a greater market activity in spite of
the abnormally high prices caused by
the crop shortage following the heat
wave one year ago last June. And so
the orange-drink stands have allie
waited the demand on the sugar sup.
ply but also have increased the de-
mands on a shortened orange crop"
