To overcome these distressing condi-
tons take plenty of exercise in the open

You will, in a short time. find that you
are one of the firm indorsers of Anuric,
as are thousands Of neighbors.

.Y" Boys Had Good Time.

Friday evening, June z, was the
one great event of many which our
group leader, Earle Richardson had
planned for the Y. M. G. A. 1t was
in the form Of an all night hike and
camp up the Indian trail above
Lighting bend. The group accom-
panied by their leader, Earle Rich
ardson and our genial county Y. M.
&C. A. secretary landed on the scene
about 8 o'clock. There had been
many stunts of which fitting con-
test was to have been one of the fea-
lures. But owing to the cool re-
ception given us by the weather man
we lowered around the camp fire.
Many jokes were played on one an
other of which James Brown was
left a hungry boy. as some one in
their desire to quell their hungry
stomachs, ate his lunch James
called it good joke and acted it, too.
1t was bright and early in the
morning when they all took their de,
parture, all expressing their heart
felt gladness for the chance to sleep

BANKER-BOYS TO GET FIN

A good step in the right direction
was taken by the board Of commerce
men who are acting on the Boy
Scout troup committees. The sec
ond troup was organized today when
all Scout officials met at the call Of
ScOutmaster X. "A. Puffer. The bus-
mess taken up will be far reaching
In its scope and 1T is hoped that the
entire program will make the organi-
zatioh permanent.
The officers elected are A. M. Hall.
chairman Troup one; Byron Cook,
of Connell Drug Co., chairman Troup
2; A. ID. Fristoe, treasurer of Scout
funds. The matter of Scout COM
missioner is under discussion and in
the near future some choice will be
made. The commissioner has charge
of the supervision of all activities
and is the chief administrative Off
GER.
Mr.. Puffer laid down the plan
whereby funds may be provided for
aiding boys who might need a tenn
porary loan to carry on some useful
project in Scouting or to help pay
for part of suit. The heart of the
whole idea is to provide a fund from
which boys may borrow in the regular
way NOiihilOu W bIlc DuSlHcSS WOIlu.
1t is believed by many hat exper-
fence in business is the. best instruc-
tor, and it is the intention of the
whole plan to let each Boy Scout
have chance to take regular re-
sponsibility in matters of finance and
learn how to make out notes, compute
his. interest, his profits on transac-
tions, to renew his note or any other
regular piece of business which he
might meet in after life. The troup
committees have pledged $500 per
member as a starter and friends of
Boy Scouts will be asked to loan 81
and not more than So to the fund
with the understanding that the
amount loaned may be taken back
again at any time by notifying the
Scout treasurer. A. ID. Fristoe.
Boys will undertake a war
garden for Uncle Sam. Beans and
potatoes will be the chief products.
Sharp competition will be aroused
between the troups and various pa
trolls in the race for the best showing
in production. Proper awards will
be made at the end of the season TO
the troup and patrols making the
best showing.
Every Boy Scout in Belding is
alive for strenuous food production
for they are backing up the soldiers
at the front with food. Food pro-
duction by any one is true patriotism.

LODGE TAKES 4
10 YEAR LEASE
WILL REMODEL CRAWFORD
HALL so 1T WILL BE ONE OF
BEST IN THE STATE.

The local lodge of Oddfellows have
enered into lease with the owners
of Crawford hall, whereby the prop
erty is virtually turned over to the
order for a period of ten years to be
used for lodge purposes, etc. The
lodge plans on making sweeping re-
modelling changes and when these
are completed it aims to have one of
the best and most modern lodge
rooms in any of the smaller cities of
the state.
While the lease on their present
quarters does not expire until some
time this fall, the committee in
charge of these matters made plans
for a new home when the lease did
expire and Crawford hall was secur-
ed. The proposed changes will soon
be started and the lodge members are
going to do the work themselves, it
being a noteworthy fact that the
lodge has in its membership a trades
man from each trade or line of work
who can go ahead with his particular
line of work and thus the changes
and alterations will be effected speed
lily, economically and just as the men,
bers want the work done.
Visiting rooms, reception rooms, Of
fees and ante-rooms will be supplied
and will make it the most modernly
appointed lodge building which any
lodge Of the /. 90. f. order has
anywhere around. The outer rooms
will be open all day and in charge of
caretaker. but they will at all times
be free to the use of members of
the order or its auxilaries for the
keeping of appointments, transacting
of business or visiting, as they see fit.
The committee in charge of the
changing arrangements is headed by
Chairman j. c. Sager and his lieu
tenants are as follows: S. A. Collier,
Jay Hansen, Jay Hubbard, Harvey
Currie and ID. F. Knapp.
The< committee are going to give
a benefit dance in the new hall Fri
day night, June Ia, which will be
the last public dance in the popular
hall for at least ten years. The
dance will start at S:30' o'clock and
Hale's orchestra is billed to furnish
the music. Duncan Kerr, who has
made himself popularity famous as a
local singer, will render two vocal
solos and it is planned to coax him
for one or two patriotic songs, extra.
The Rebekahs will serve ice cream
and refreshments and everybody is
invited.

DO YOU REALLY
APPRECIATE THE
RED CROSS
DISCARD WRONG IDEA THAT
WORKERS GET PAY OR SOLIC-
ITORS GET SALARIES.

During the past few days it has
come to our attention that there are
number of people in this city who
are under the opinion that the ladies
who recently made the Red Cross
canvass in this city were getting pay
for their work. In several instances
the people who carried these ideas,
were either thoughtless or unkind
enough, to take the matter up with
the good women who were engaged
in the soliciting work and while the
ladies showed good judgment in not
arguing the matter, still the fact re-
mains that some of the people who
were solicited are sticking to the be-
lief that the Red Cross workers got
good pay for their work.
In one instance a man 1--WE would
like to call him by name, but for
the reason that we do not know it,
will not be able to give him the pub
licIty which he deserves), actually
accused a lady solicitor who was put
ting the matter of a contribution up
to him, of going around in a useless
occupation and stated that if She
would remain at home and attend to
her own business and let the money
which she received for her services,
go to the Red Cross, that it would be
materially bettering matters.
Think of that, and with that lady
running around from house to house,
from one person to another soliciting
for the Red Cross-one of the great
est agents in the cause of humanity
the world has ever known and which.
appreciate it as we may here, can
not be sufficiently appreciated by any
but those who through the cause of
democracy and liberty, have been cut
down on the battlefields of Europe
in the great struggle now going on
and been succored back to health by
Red Cross nurses sent over there for
the purpose by Red Cross officials,
with money raised through voluntary
contributions of the mass of people
who know and appreciate some of
the things which the society is doing.
OF course. Red Cross nurses get
pay. They get just about one-half
as much as though they were safely
positioned in some place in every day
life here. Red Cross officials get
small salaries if they get any at all
and the great bulk of work accom-
plished in this country and sent over
seas never costs a cent, outside of the
money spent for materials used in
manufacturing the articles.
Of course, ignorance on the part
of some people in this matter was
excusable up to a certain time ago,
but after all that the Red Cross has
done, after what the local chapter
and the county organization has done
to alleviate the sufferings of wound
ed and sick soldiers at the front, af-
ter the publication of the most detail
ed reports Of the expenditures, ETC.,
of the funds raised for the Red
Cross, this cloud of ignorance should
disappear and those who ISLAM" Red
Cross solicitors, with grating and
high salaried positions, should get
different and brighter thoughts and
instead of retarding, push with all
the push in them for the success of
Zach Red Cross undertaking.
