A spick and span city for the Fourth
OF July is the aim and hope of Fire
Chief w L. Ringold. The chief laid
aside the salvation Army drive long
enough to call on store keepers, own
ers of vacant lots and householders
to cut their grass and weeds, pick up
the paper about their places of busi-
ness burn their rubbish and in gen.
eral clean up for the three days at
the end of the week. The chief not
only asked the campaign for the sake
of beauty but to reduce fire risk.
Special request was made that per-
sons refrain from burning grass,
weeds and rubbish during the days
of the celebration as the department
must stand ready to attend to possible
larger fires in the main part of the
city.

ruling OF the internal revenue bureau
for years and we are presuming that
Is what is meant in the wartime pro-

REV. PARSONS ATa'
COMG'L CHURCH
LAST SUNDAY EVE.
COMMUNITY SERVICE NEXT
SUNDAY EVENING--SPECIAL
VOCAL AND VIOLIN MUSIC.

A large and appreciative audience
attended the Congregational church
last Sunday evening. The Rev. St.
Clare Parsons of Greenville delighted
everyone beyond expectations. His
subject, 1.-The Peril of Democracy"
was well prepared and eloquently de-
livered. He quoted Bismarck's state
ment of some 80 years ago. There
are in this world, two kinds of gov
ernments, autocracy and democracy.
They are Numerically opposed to one
another and sooner or later they will
clash and one must disappear for
there is not room enough on this globe
for them both"
The speaker showed that while Bis
marck's prophecy was correct yet OPP
posite to his expectations, democracy
and not autocracy has survived.
He admitted that autocracy was by
far the most efficient in putting every
individual where he would be 100 per
cent efficient but declared that never
theless by its machine-like method it
crushed out initiative and soul from
its people. whiled emocracy gave free
scope to the children of rich and poor
alike.
Bolshevism in Russia and Germany
was no surprise to him as it was to
be expected, being the freed slave of
autocracy. Liberty had simply been
carried TO license and the once trod-
den peasants had in their turn be-
come the autocrats.
Zone great peril" he said, sIs thai
citizens may, after they have fought
and shed their blood for their rights
become neglectful of their duties. I"
Pe scored telling blow against the
shameful conduct of citizens in ne
glecting voting at primaries and other
elections. A warning was given to
the women to see to it that now that
they had the ballot that they exercise
their duty, not only as well as the
nov rad but with conscientious care.
No less serious in his opinion was
the need of definition of words like
liberty, freedom of speech, freedom
Of the press.
The right 10 acquire and own prop
ertv seemed to him also to need def
milton. He cited the statement OF
Henry Ford that he would organize
n new company and build new fac
torv 1T the little VILLAGE of Dearborn
and by employing 100000 men and
women create city of half million.
His opinion was that power to do any
si,~h thing shorld not be allowed to be
in the hands of anv one man.
The rhoris choir accompanied b.
Miss Winnifred Wilson on the pipe
organ led the SINGING of appropriate
HYMNS in which the audience heartily

was selected as secretary and two
tellers, w. S. Lambertson and Mrs.
w. P. Hetherington We're appointed.
The latter refused to act and Mrs.
W. A. Wilder was appointed in her
place. Later on when it turned out
that more tellers were needed to
count the extra large vote, Wilbur G.
Whitney and Jessie Pressly were also
appointed as additional tellers.
Elmer 4. Fales, tine efficient and
agreeable individual who has held the
office of mayor for a number of years,
was nominated to succeed himself and
as there were no further nominations
it was moved that the rules be sus-
pended and the entire vote of the eau
Gus cast for Mr. Fales for mayor.
The contest for city clerk drew
forth three nominations. Lewis
Sayles placed the name Of Frank f.
Conant, present incumbent, before the
caucus and Wilbur G. Whitney paid
a glowing tribute to the efficiency of
Mrs. Clelliei S. Hoover, the present
deputy in her work in the clerks of
flee and also in her work in the sever
al positions which she has held in this
city and stated that the voters would
make no mistake in casting their bal
lots in favor of his nominee, Mrs.
Clellie S. Hoover, who, he stated fur
Their, had the honor of being the first
woman to be nominated fer public
office in the city of Belding. w. B.
Travis acting as proxy for Merit
Eaves. then placed the name of w.
X. Fisher, the present city treasurer
and a former clerk of the city, in
nomination for the office.
The first ballot resulted in 376 votes
being cast. of which Conant received
AZ. Mrs. Hoover 1872, and Fisher 1873,
with one scattering. AS it was ne
cessary that the winner receive at
least 189 votes to reach a decision,
a second ballot was taken which con-
sisted of 371 votes being cast, Conant
getting IL. Fisher 154 and Hoover
200, whereupon the latter was de-
clared elected to the nomination.
A spirited contest for the office OF
treasurer had developed during the
last two days Immediately preceding
the election and when nominations for
this office were called for, DIR. G.. f.
Smith placed the name of Mrs. Myrtle
A. Hubbell before the caucus. Ed
Driese then nominated Mrs. Nellie A.
Arnold and Milt Benedict nominated
Byron f. Brown, secretary of the
local board of commerce. Mr.. Bene-
dict told of the advantages to b<
gained by putting Mr.. Brown in the
treasurer's office as thereby the treas.
rer could afford to give practically
all his time TO the office as he would
of necessity be in the building at al
office hours. Embree B. Laphan
then broke the silence and said that
he had a man whom he wished tc
nominate. The Judge went on ant
told how his man was his friend ant
and friend of everyone and what
good fellow he was. The judge
gave good flowery speech with just
enough flcurishes to it so that it tool
