George Rhodes, resident of this

versity hospital, in Ann Arbor, Mon
day night after an illness cf more or
less severity dating from last winter.
About a month ago he was taken TO
Ann Arbor where he was operated
upon and received subsequent treat
ment. Late reports stated that he
was progressing nicely and when his
relatives visited him he was always
getting better and the news of his
death, which reached here, Tuesday
forenoon came as a distinct shock to
the relatives and friends. Ben Fried
ly and AL Chichy left here Tuesday
noon with the Miller & Harris hearse
for Ann Arbor to bring the remains
back here for burial and up to the
hour at which this is written have
not arrived here and funeral arrange
ments have not been completed. The
funeral will however be held either

Rhodes was a man of sterling char
acter and worth and held in high es-
teem by his neighbors who with the
entire community extend sympathy
TO the stricken family.

will be held Friday afternoon at z
o'clock from the Episcopal church.

ICE SITUATION
GROWS ACUTE AS
SUPPLY EXHAUSTS
LOCAL COMPANY STARTS TO
TRUCK ICE OVERLAND FROM
NEIGHBORING TOWN

The ice situation is just about as
serious in this city as it is in any
Of the other nearby cities and towns
where they have been out Of ice for
several weeks past.
The supply which was cut off the
ponds and lakes in this vicinity last
season is just about completely gone
and the local ice company, in an ~ef-
fort to keep its patrons supplied with
the cooling commodity started in to-
day, to truck ice overland from Green
vile, which city, luckily, and contrary
to the general rule has abundant sup
ply.
Ionia and other towns in this vici-
nifty were compelled to cut out ice
deliveries to residences some time ago
and only continued delivering ice to
meat markets, ice cream parlors and
ether business places. The local
company will endeavor to keep all of
it's city trade supplied it it possibly
can.
At Portland the people have gone
without ice for several weeks now,
because of the scarcity. What makes
the Portland situation real aggri-
waiting one is thas there are several
large houses full of ice in the village
which is the property of a Grand
Ledge firm end although their city Is
full of ice, Portland people cannot
get it because the Grand Ledge peo-
pie think they may want to use it
themselves.

WRONG MEDICINE
COMES VERY NEAR
CAUSING DEATH
LAD is GIVEN AN OUNCE OF
CAMPHORATED OIL INSTEAD
OF CASTOR OIL.

Fuller Dorr came very near pass
ing in his checks Thursday night and
but for the fact that his mother
noticed his illness and vigorous meas
ures were applied to revive him, the
chances are that he would have pass
ed on to the other world before the
sun rose on Friday morning.
Fuller, who is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. (. Dorr, was Ito be operated
on at the Belding hospital Saturday
morning and in preparation for the
event it was necessary that he be
given dose of some cathartic, cast
or oil being named as the best and
most effective and it was this that
Mrs. Dorr called for when she went
to get the medicine.
Reaching home she proceeded to
give the boy a one ounce dose and
he went to bed, but not to sleep and
he soon came down stairs and COM
planned of being sick. A. E. Dorr,
the boy'b father, jokingly accused
him cf getting cold feet and being
afraid to go to the hospital, but ire
boy kept getting worse and soon the
family and neighbors were applying
vigorous alcohol baths, rubbing, ETC.,
in u an effort to restore heart acticn
pending the arrival of a physician
who had been sent for.
After the boy had been brought
out of danger an investigation was
made and it was ascertained that the
medicine which had been given him
was camphorated oil instead of cast
or oil as directed. The dose which
he took contained six times as much
camphor as is usually given for n
heart action stimulant and was
strong enough to have caused death
had his condition not been noticed at
once and restorative measures ap-
piled.

Son Remembers Mother.

In letter which we received from
Claude Piefer of Shelby, he enclosed
his annual memorial card. Claud al
was remembers his mother and every
year regularly as time rolls by has
his memorial printed. 1t is beautiful
custom on his part and stands in
delibly to his credit. Claud says his
business is fine and rushing, mat
ter which we are glad to hear. We
clip the following from the Oceania
Herald of Shelby relative to the busi-
ness which Claud is doing.
Landlord Piefer Of Hotel Shelby Is
having his troubles in trying to ac-
commodate the large number of tour
lists who insist on partaking Of the
most excellent service offered at the
local hostelry. The hotel has been
crowded to capacity practically ev-
cry night for month and much to
Mr. Piefer's regret he has been un-
able to give accommodations to all
who have wished to stay. With the
completion of the new road to the
south and the heavy traffic that it
will surely bring, larger quarters or
tent city addition will be absolute
ly necessary.
Claud was for number of years
engaged as chef in Hotel Belding.

health as at time of discharge.
This information should be circu-

Every possible effort should be made
to secure reinstatement of insurance.
Res Cross funds may be used to assist
men in paying up back premiums.
Soldiers or sailors who have al
lowed their policies to lapse for any
reason should confer with Mr.. Henry
j. Leonard, who will assist them in
the matter of being reinstated.

BARNES CITED FOR
EXTRAOR D|NARy
HERO|SM IN WAR
CITATIONS COME AFTER LOCAL
MAN. HAS BEEN AT HOME
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS

Tom Harnes, son of Mrs. Mary
Barnes, librarian at the Belding Me-
mortal library, who recently returned
home from having served with the
United Safes forces overseas, has re-
centluy been cited for extraordinary
bravery in action against the Ger
mans during the fighting cf last sum-
mer.
The first citation was awarded for
especially mertorious service on Au-
gust 20 and September 1, 1918, while
the 126th Infantry was in the line at
Juvigny. Upon these occasions,
with a fine spirit of devotion to duty
and with an entire absence of regard
for his personal safety he assisted
in the transportation and distribution
over roads which were being heavily
shelled, of the necessary supplies
wherewith the regiment was enabled
to defeat the enemy.
The second instance where Barnes
forgot himself through a patriotic
devotion to duty and disregarded all
measures of personal safety was on
Oct. 6, 9, IL and Ia, 1918 at the fight
ing in the Argcnne where they he
performed exceptionally meritorious
service in delivering supplies where
they were needed at the fighting
fronts and where his cool, level head
ed work shone out above that of 9TH
er men working in battle with him to
such an extent that he received men,
ten for his part in the fighting.
Barnes is a modest, quiet fellow
who hates publicity and has done all
he could since receiving his citation
to keep people from learning that he
proved himself hero while with the
army and would rather not have it
known that the army officials have
in way especially rewarded him fer
his part of whipping the Germans.
However, Barnes mother, who
watched, prayed and waited for the
return of her son during the long
months that he was away, felt SO
good over the honor paid her boy
that the matter leaked out and now,
despite the fact that Tom does not
desire anything said about it, the
public knows it.
The certificate of citation was re-
ceived the latter part of the week and
is beautifully engraved article,
which will undoubtedly be, someday
one of Mr.. Barnes most cherished
treasures. His services may at some
future time be rewarded further by
congressional medal.
