TRIMMING CAMP
FOR OFFICERS At
MOUNT PLEASANT I
GOOD CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN
TO FIT THEMSELVES FOR OF
FICERS' COMMISSIONS.

Every Ionia county boy who is be-
tween 1S and 81 years old and is a
high school graduate is eligible to en-
ter the Students Army Training corps
camp which opens at Mt. Pleasant on
Sept. 30. Men of over 21 who are
high school graduates and who have
not yet been inducted into military
service are also eligible.
The military work of this camp will
be under the supervision of an army
officer and five assistants from Ft.
| Sheridan. Rifles. uniforms, over
coats and other equipment will be
furnished free by the war department
and the young men will receive board,
| lodging, tuition and $50 per month
from the government.
Studies will be prescribed by the u.
| S. war department and supervised by
the regular faculty of Central Mich
igan Normal school.
The purpose is to discover and to
train young men with education and
other qualifications sufficient to en-
able them to enter Central Officers
Training camps and camps for non
commissioned officers; 10000 more
officers are required by July /, 1919.
| The 100000 gymnasium of this in
stitution will be turned over to mil
itary uses and will serve both as arm
ory and barracks for the candidates
for higher army service. The great

HOSPITAL BENEFIT
SHOWS WERE A
BIG SUCCESS
GOOD AUDIENCES GREETED
BOTH -APPEARANCES- -nE.

The benefit plays given by local
talent under the direction of Mrs.
Abigail j. Williams, at the opera
house on Thursday and Friday nights
were a success. both in dramatic,
entertaining and financial way and
the audience evidenced their apprec-
iation by frequent applause every now
and then. The people taking part in
the plays were thoroughly drilled
and carried out their parts to perfec-
tion and the public who spent money
to help beth themselves to an even
ing's entertainment and the hospital
in a financial way, were well satisfied
and much favorable comment was
heard regarding the manner in which
some ones favorite actor or actress
had carried their part and appeared
upon the stage.
The prelude, "In the days of '61", a
play of the Civil war days was given
in each instance before the play, "The
Stacker" was presented and the ac-
tors, clothed in their old time blue
uniforms, gave striking contrast to
the soldiers one sees now upon the
streets of the cities of this nation.
The Stacker was a play dealing
with the modern war times and con-
tanned a good moral lesson for some
cities, although there are are very
few, if any young men in this city,
whom it would hit. but where there
is a young man who should be in the
service of his country, the Stacker
should be presented for his especial
benefit and he should be given a re-
served seat, so that he will not miss
a word of what is said.
The Eitle twins, the Misses Selma
and Velma, were there as usual with
their fancy dancing and as usual,
they drew the hearty applause which
they always get. These young ladies
are always highly pleasing to Belding
audiences and never fail to, make a
hit with the house. Mrs. Abigail
Williams also sang a solo at each one
of the shows and displayed remark
able talent along this line.
The production of the plays was the
result of the training for about a
week of the actors under Mrs. Abbie
Williams, formerly of this city, but
now of New York, who was here fol
a short visit at the home of her aunt
Mrs. E. B. Lapham and for the short
time which the company had to re.
hearse in. they showed remarkable
aptitude and talent. 1t also gave ev'
idence that Mrs. Williams has los,
none of her former ability and eff.
cheney In presenting sudh produc-
tions. She at one time presented
the musical comedy, "Pinafore" ir
! the local opera house to packed
house for two nights.
As result of the plays the hos
pital treasury has been enriched, Il
we may use that word, to more thar
$50 and the ladies of the board oi
managers of the institution wish II
extend their hearty thanks to Mrs
Williams for the putting on of tn,
play and also to those who ATTENDED
and made possible the raising of tn,
money which will help to defray th'
expenses of running the hospital.
