DIR. ALEXANDER JOHNSON
WITH SOUTHERN DIV. A. r. c
Will Speak at Court House To-
morrow, Dec. 18th, at Eleven
O'clock.

"The Dean of Social Workers." is
the title by which DR.. Alexander
Johnson is known among those who
are familiar with the history Of So
cial work in America. His recent
acceptance Of the supervision of
Home Service Field work in the
Southern Division of the Red Cross
insures to the Civilian Relief De-
partment a very tower of strength
and efficiency. Dr.. Johnson began
his humanitation work in 1884, as
general secretary of Associated
,Charities in Cincinnati, later with
Chicago Charity Society, and with
the Indiana Board of Charities. DR..
Johnson was for ten years superin-
tendent of the Indiana School for
feeble-minded youth, followed by an
almost equally long service sa gen.
eral secretary of the National oon-
ference of Charities and Corrections.
He directed the extension depart
ment of the Training School at Nine
lands, NJ. j., from 1915 to 1917,
and has been. field secretary of the
National Commission on Provision
for the feeble-minded since 1915.
During his many years of social ser
vice, and especially as Asso. Direc-
tor of New York School of Philan-
thropy, and lecturer at the Chicago
School Of Civics and Philanthropy,
he has, trained many young people
who are today taking a leading part
in Red Cross Home Service activi-
ties.
DR.. Johnson is a forceful speaker.
He draws interesting instances from
a rich experience, and brings to Red
Cross a zeal and love for the work,
and an enthusiastic faith in its great
future that is most inspiring.

LIEUT.. w. o. STEVENSON.


The Saturday afternoon papers
carried the name of Lieut.. William
O. Stevenson among the soldiers who
had been killed in action. This was
the official report from the War De-
partment.
However, just the day before q
letter had come from Thomas Sher'
ard, who is a member of Lieut.
Stevenson's company in which he
stated that the report that Lieut..
Stevenson was killed was mistake,
though he stated, he. had been Sc
verely wounded.
There has been much confusion in
the matter of reports of casualties,
and many mistakes have been made
which gives ground for hope that
Mr.. Sherard's report may be correct

INVESTMENT SAFETY
BUY LIBERTY BONDS;
SOUND AS GIBRALTAR
DROUGHT MAY TAKE YOUR
FARM CROPS, BUT NEVER
YOUR LIBERTY BOND

When farmer buys mortgage on
a neighboring farm he feels pretty
safe, because he knows what the land
will produce and he knows the farmer
who is working the land withthe bor-
rowed capital. But there are ele-
ments of danger that no man can for
see. Drought may come and ruin the
crop, compelling the borrower to miss
an interest payment The borrower
may fall sick and fail to work the
land. Something may happen to
cause depreciation of the property, so
that the lender cannot recover all the
money he has loaned. Such things
have happened and that is why large
investors follow the principle of "dis-
tributing their Investments" over as
wide an area as possible.
When you buy LIBERTY BOND
you buy an investment that has a
mortgage on nearly 100000 square
miles of the American continent, in
cluding Alaska and the islands of the
sea- No drought ever hit all America
at one time. The corn crop may fail,
but the American iron, gold, coal, and
copper crops never fail. A farmer
may be unable to meet his mortgage
interest but Uncle Sam levies taxes
big enough to pay all his interest and
redeem all his mortgages. He has to
do it. If he fails to do it he ceases
to be respectable member of the
family of nations. And if that ever
should happen no investment on this
continent would be worth anything at
all. No property except what can be
carried in the pocket would be worth
anything. The Sovereign Nation is
all that insures the value of any prop
erty or the safety of any individual.
No matter how safe farm mort
gage may look to you, it is a million
times less safe than A LIBERTY
BOND, with the constitution and the
Congress of the United States behind
it. We raise enough farm produce in
a single season to pay off all the au-
thorized Government bonds and have
enough money left to rebuild from the
ground up a city as big as Chicago.
Hence for Safety-INVEST IN LIB
ERTY BONDS!

HENRY ~STAHLIN
HAS PASSED AWAY

Henry Stahlin, one Of the pioneers
OF Otisco township, died in this city
at the home Of his son, Ed. Stahlin
where he has been living during the
past winter, Monday, April 18th. For
the past year he has been in failing
health but has kept cheerful and was
making plans for working his place
as soon as he got better.
The deceased was born in Switzer-
land, October 8, 1889 and was seven
ty-eight years old. He came to this
part OF Michigan in an early day and
Tor many years worked for Wilson,
Luther q Wilson, in their numbering
operations.
Mr.. Stahlin owned a comfortable
little home of three acres, about three
miles north west of the city, where
he and his good wife have lived in
recent years until coming to Belding,
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon, attended by many old
neighbors and friends. Rev. III. s.
Ellis officiated and burial was made
IN the Otisco cemetery.
Beside his wife Mr.. Stahlin leaves
Mrs. Kate Shannon and Edward Stab
lin Of this city; Mrs. Susan Place of
Mt.>Vernon, Ohio, and J.. w. Stahlin.

COUNTY AGENT PLAN
AGAIN REJECTED

The county agent proposition sub
stantially endorsed by the Grange and
other farmers societies, was turned
down Tuesday by the Ionia county
board of supervisors by q vote of IL
to 8. This is the second time the
measure has been buried in this coun-
ty by an adverse majority, and it is
said that progressive farmers can see
very little cause for encouragement
in the boards attitude.
Farmers from all parts of the coun-
ty went before the board last week
to urge the adoption of the county
agent plan, but their efforts in behalf
of the measure proved of no avail.
The four Ionia city supervisors are
credited more or less with having de-
feated the project, all of them having
voted mo" This is due, the farmers
allege, to their utter ignorance of
conditions. Clinton and Ionia are
now the only two counties in the en-
tire lower peninsula that have not yet
adopted the county agent plan and
determined effort will be put forth
next year to shove the measure
through.

BETTER BABIES DAY
WAS DECIDED SUCCESS

The Better Babies Day" at the
city hall Saturday afternoon, was a
most decided success. Twenty-seven
babies were weighed and registered
and many more were present.
Mrs. Henry Upholt assisted In
Weighing and examination for physi-
cal defects of eyes or ears and the
little people measured up fine for a
good physical standard. One child
present, who had been suffering from
malnutrition, by the PROPER adjust
ment of food, was reported gaining
finely.
DR.. Little was present and gave an
interesting and helpful talk from a
physicians standpoint. Mrs. DEM
ming gave a most interesting paper
on "FeeSng and Nutrition"
George Albert, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Verne Sprague, was decided to be
the most perfect baby This young
ster is eighteen weeks old, weighs
sixteen pounds, and is seemingly in
every way a perfectly normal child.
The babies took their weighing,
etc, with very good grace and while
of course, there was some crying, all
in all they behaved very nicely.
A Better Babies" organization
was formed with Mrs. Verne Sprague
as president. A vice president was
also elected (whose name we were not
able to learn), and who will also act
as secretary. 1t was decided to hold
good is looked for from this organiza-
meetings once each month and much
tion.
Mrs. Henry Upholt was chairman of
this committee, chosen by the Wom-
ans Committee of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, and much credit is due
her for the splendid start Of this or
ganization.

JOHN |. GIBSON SPOKE
AT BOARD LUNCHEON

Those who attend the luncheon
Tuesday night of the Board of Com
merce listened to a most interesting
address given by John /. Gibson. Sec
retary Of the Western Michigan De-
velopment Bureau. Mr.. Gibson spoke
alcng the lines of lettering the soil
certain sections, where it had been
uspposed, that farming could not be
carried on at a profit, until it was
found that the best kind of fruit
could be produced at a handsome
margin of profit. He interspersed his
talk with much humor and apt illus
trations.
The progress of introducing sheep
husbandry to Michigan cutover lands
was shown to be in prosperous con-
dition. Many western ranchmen with
large fiocks are being forced to seek
other locations for their animals or
to abandon the business. IL is this
type Of men as well as the small
landowner who are being encouraged
to locate in Western Michigan.
Over one thousand families located
in Western Michigan last year. This
number is equivalent in value to the
community of $4,000 according to
Mr.. Gibson's estimates.
Quality of produce is what wins. %.
