WILL BE LARGEST BUILDING
Mammoth Structure for Government
Use Is Soon to Be Erected In
South Brooklyn.

What is probably the largest
building in the world, it is an
nounced by a construction company
of New York, will be built in South
Brooklyn for the United States gov
eminent. Contracts have been
signed by the company and the war
department, calling for the expendi-
ture of approximately S4O,OOO,OO0,
for a new supply base for overseas
transportation, to be erected.
The plans contemplate the cree
ton of a building with 100000
square feet of fireproof floor space
under one roof. The building is to
be approximately 1000 feet square
and from eight to ten stories high,
lighted with one street and three
courts. In addition there are to be
three double-deck steel, concrete and
timber piers 1900 feet long and $50
feet wide, together with lighterage
pier of 1850 feet by 20 feet, one
story high. About thirteen miles Of
railroad track will be installed, and
hundreds of tractors and locomo-
tives will be utilized to serve this
supply base.

The woman of charm doesn't care
a rap about masculine ideals-she
knows better. Special talents, ex-
pensive toggery and studied airs and
graces-these have no place in her
personality. She is necessarily neat
and is always clever, and carries
her clothes. Homage is not only a
duty but a desire, whether she be
saint or sinner. She may not be
beautiful; but her witching natural
ness-even though it be assumed
is simply irresistible. And-regard-
less of contrariwise pose or pretense
these are the women whom we men
most admire.

Some Splendid Bargains IN Farms
We have some splendid farms at
bargain prices in all sizes, from 20

from $40 to 5000 per acre. We are
not listing farms at prices higher
than than their producing value. We
have never sold farm that has not
either sold again at good profit, or
owner has refused handsome profit.
We have exclusive sale of several
large farms that are sure to sell

HEAVY DAMAGE
DONE TO CROPS
BY LATE FROST
MANY GARDENS NEARLY CON-
PLETELY RUINED, OTHERS
ONLY SLIGHTLY TOUCHED.

Saturday nights frost was one of
the most severe late frosts which has
visited this section of the state and
from all over come reports of the
running of crops, from partial to total
destruction. 1t is claimed by many
of the older people of the surround
ing country that it was by far the
heaviest and latest frost which has
visited this territory in more than
20 years.
Many a "war garden" built up
through the persistent labor of some
person who was anxious to do their
part in helping to produce a greater
crop of foodstuffs to aid in every
possible way in the winning of the
war, was sickly looking sight when
Sunday morning, June % dawned and
showed up the effects of the frost,
with blackened hills of corn, beans
and other garden truck.
The frost was freakish and hit in
streaks, taking in some places every
thing in sight, while in others it
seemed to have picked out certain
rows of plants and killed them, while
it left other plants of the same va
riety Just few feet away, untouched.
One garden in the south end of the
city, tended by a mother and her
children, was completely Cooked"
The frost, according to reports
reaching here, was general through
out the state.

CLAIM ALLOWED" TO BEs
STAGED A SECOND TIME.

The successful senior play, "Claim
Allowed, was given again before a
full house Tuesday evening at the
Belding opera house. The class Of
'18 was the first to attempt second
production, which was a close rival
to the first. The many friends Of
the class were happily surprised to
find such an abundance of undiscov-
cred talent. Each character deserves
special mention and it can be truly
said that the play presented an all
star cast. The dancing by the
Misses Velma and Selma Little in
appropriate costume between acts,
was a unique and pleasing feature.
The play was coached by Miss Ola
Fern Little. In appreciation of her
help, the class presented Miss Little
with a beautiful silver tea service.
The class of '1S will be long remem-
bered for their forthy production OF
"Claim Allowed"
1t has been voted that the money
be given to war relief work. The
exact amount will be stated later. The
class wish to thank all who have help
ed in any way to make the play a
success.

MEN
EMPLOYED IN
FAC. B. STRIKE
MEN, DEMAND PAY ON SATUR-
DAY-COMPANY REFUSES AND
STRIKE ON-BACK MONDAY.

Strikes among the workers in the
factories in the city of Belding have
been very few and far between during
the 80 or more years OF the city's
business life but occasionally q num-
Der of men, or girls sometimes, have
discovered themselves working under
seemingly adverse conditions and like
colony of disgusted bees in swarm
ing time, they struck, sometimes for
higher wages, a change in working
conditions or something else.
Saturday morning another one OF
these ew-and-far-between strikes
took place at the factory "B" plant
of the Belding-Ha Co., when 45 men
out of total working strength of
about 65 walked out with a demand
that the company pay the workers on
Saturday, June %, the date of the
regular pay day, instead of carrying
the checks over to Monday, Dune "a,
as has been the custom of the COM
pany ever since the factories started
operations here more than 30 years
ago. The demands of the strikers
were met with by the usual company
procedure in such cases and on Mon
day morning. the men, most of whom
had given the matter second thought,
decided that the demands, even if
granted, would have made but little
difference to them and they returned
to work.
About two weeks ago a petition was
circulated among the men asking the
company to pay on the proper date,
when the pay days fell on Saturday
instead of holding the pay over until
Monday and if the petition ever
reached any of the proper officers of
the company it bore none of its in
tended and desired effects as on Sat-
urday morning no change in the pay
ing schedule had been announced and
the men, after punching the clock,
marched out. One of the demands
which would have been made in case
the strike should have been won by
the men, was that they were to be paid
for all time lost between striking time
Saturday and the time of settling of
the strike.
Factory "B" of the Belding-Hall
Co., is being used in the manufacture
of bort automobile bodies and some
this fact would have a great deal to
of the men were of the opinion that
do with heir winning out, through
the fact that the bort people would
insist on work being pushed to the
limit at the factory, 1t had, how
ever, no bearing on the matter, as the
local company still own and control
the shop.
The men were not dissatisfied with
the wages which they were receiving
from the company but struck only be-
cause they wanted their pay on Sat
urdays instead of waiting until Mon
day.
