SOLDIER
SPEAKS HIGHLY OF
AMERICAN RED CROSS
ORGANIZATION CAN NOT BE
GIVEN Too MUCH CREDIT FOR
PART IN SOLDIERS LIVES.

Corp. Fred Vandewater Of the mil
itary police force at Camp MacAr-
thur, Waco, Teas, swung OF from
the train up from Grand Rapids Sat
urday night, his discharge, honorable
of course, tucked away in an inside
pocket and his military life ended for
good and all unless some one should
attempt to start something and get
funny with Fred's Uncle Sam, at
which time he will be just as ready
and willing to respond to the call as
he has on two previous occasions when
he answered the call and put in time
in the service Of his country. The
first enlistment gave him service in
tho Philippines and the latter service
in the military police at Waco, Texas.
& Corporal Vandewater is strong for
the Red Cross. When asked about
his service in the army, he put it
strong that whatever was said about
his coming home, that we could say
for him that no one could overdo the
matter Of helping the American Red
Cross, to his opinion the most pro-
digious organization for the good Of
the nations fighting forces ht the
present time that it were possible to
dream Of. All Red Cross workers
with whom he had come in contact
had been of the most benevolent and
compassionate temperament and there
was nothing that these good people
left undone for the soldiers, if it lay
in their power to do.
Fred says that was the two ex-
tremes-the kindness and sympathet-
ic devotion of the Red Cross and the
altogether different attitude of the
people living near the camp, toward
the men in the army. The former
made life easy and comfortable
as could be under the circumstances
with no cost whatever, while the civ
ilian population took seemingly espec-
ial pains to make life as miserable,
through contemplate treatment, over
charging and other practices for the
soldiers as they could.
Fred has been in the service during
his last enlistment since last May and
for the greater part Of that time was
stationed at Waco, Texas. He will
enter one Of the mills within short
time and take up his work here as
near where he left off as he can.

A CHRISTMAS
GIFT THAT MAKES
MANY PEOPLE MERRY
LOCAL CITIZEN SELECTS BEST
MEDIUM HE COULD FIND AS A
GIFT TO SON AND DAUGHTER.

We have told you the same old story
year after year, about the selection Of
the home town paper, in this case the
Banner-News. as gift for the son
or daughter, other relative or friend
to express Christmas cheer and good
will at this happy season and through
out the year and we are firmly con-
WINGED that there are very few gifts
which could be selected as gift
which will give the recipient greater
pleasure and extend it out over a
longer period than will subscription
to the. paper which is published in the
town of ones former or present res
idence.
This conviction became more con-
crete than ever before since last Sat-
urday when certain man came in
to the office and subscribed for two
yearly subscriptions, one to be sent to
a daughter, living in the northern part
of this state and another to be sent to
a son, living in western state. The
father and mother of the absent ones
had decided that among their Christ
mas gifts to these two, would be the
Banner-News, a regular Christmas
gift which would reach them SO times
a year and be at the same time a re-
hinder Of parents, friends and the
"homey" things in the old home COM
munity, whence the mind of all right
minded humans is continually turn
ing back to, as leaf after leaf CT men,
ory's pages is turned over in the
flight of time in an effort To keep the
thoughts of former friendships and
happy times.
And how thoroughly appreciated
this gift will be by we recipients is
hardly imaginable. Each week for
SO. weeks it will be as visitor from
Belding stepping at their door for
good talk direct from home. 1t will
be as a handshake with some old
friend, courier bearing messages OF
the progress of the fblks back home.
mer as well as through t. billiards.
will push its way to<efn Of the births
and deaths, the Joys and sorrows, ad-
and progress, the failures
and successes which creep into the
lives of former schoolmates and
friends. "back home"
Yes, we know sof several people in
adition to the son and daughter above
to, who will be made happy
throughout the coming year by
weekly visit from the Banner-News,
sent them either by a friend or rela-
tive here as a Christmas present.
There will be a number of others also
and If You have some friend or rela-
tive to whom ycu wish to send suit
able gift and you are undecided as to
what it shall be, just quit worrying
and have this paper sent to them.
The price is only S1.50 for a full
years subscription and a card, stat
ing who the gift is from, will be mail
ed from this office to the person &C.
whom you send the paper.
Take it from us, the gift will be
more than any other you
may send. Let US have your order
at once so we can send out the card
and paper before Chcristmas.
