SEES ROBIN-BRlNGS
NEST AS PROOF

Worden Hickok brought into this
office on Monday story of early
spring, which though seemingly un-
believable, must be taken as truth
because of the fact that Mr.. Hickok
brought with him the indisputable
evidence of the truthfulness of his
claim. He brought in robins nest
which contained one egg.
The nest had been built in crevice
near the coal sheds of the Belding
Coal & Ice Co. and when nisn were
unloading coal from the cars Monday,
the Earring loosened the nest and it
rolled to the ground, breaking two
of the eggs which it contained, but
leaving one of them, together with
the nest, whole and unframed.
This evidence is now on display in
the Banner-News Office and those
doubling Thomases who will not be-
lieve in these early robin stories until
the have seen can take a look at it.
But even then many willsnot believe.
One man who looked at the nest and
egg, turned away and said, "That's
a - lie, it's candy egg"

MYERS COMES
BACK AS LIEUT..
W|THCLEAN SLATE
CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE OFFICIALS SAY HE
BEARS GOOD RECORD.

Friends of former Sergt. w. j.
Myers, the returned Canadian Black
Watch soldier who spoke in this city
to large crowd on Labor day will
be pleased to learn that he is again in
this city and that there was absolute
ly no truth whatever in the stories
and rumors which have been circulat-
ing around this city to the effect that
he had been arrested on a federal
warrant charging him with violation
of the espionage act in that he had
disclosed the movements of military
forces in France. Also that he had
been convicted on this charge and
had been sentenced to the Federal
penitentiary at TT. Leavenworth,
where he was supposed to be doing
time at present.
Sergt. Myers left here the latter
part of October, about two weeks
after he had really been arrested on
such charge, but from which he was
released when the Ionia county offic-
ials looked up his record At that
time it was discovered that there was
nothing against him and that he had
been through some of the v0rst bat
ties of the great war and that what
he had told about himself was actu-
ally true. Nevertheless, after he
left here the story was still circulat-
ed that he had been convicted and was
serving time.

holders in the Bedding Building q

flee of Secretary George Z. Wagner,

place made vacant by the death of
w. Lee Cusser. Mr.. Cusser also
held the position of treasurer of the
association and George f. Wagner,
the present efficient secretary, was
elected to this office and he will hold
both offices of secretary and treas
urer in the future.
The association has been the aid of
assisting many people to save money
and to eventually own their own
home and its biggest boosters are
those who have been connected with
it, either through investing money
in it or through borrowing money
from it in times past.
The semi-annual report of Secre-
tary Wagner showing the condition
of the association for the past six
months, will be off the press and
ready for distribution and in case you
do not receive one Of them, it would
be to your interest to call at Mr..

Local people whe had met the
young veteran and who had faith in
him despite the rumors, said nothing
but believed that Myers would some
day again show uplhere. The writer
was one of these people and he con-
Quoted a little campaign to clear up
the situation. A letter was written
to Myers at Windsor, where he was
last heard from, but this was returned
as he had left no forwarding address,
although in his last letter he had stat
ed that he was going to Toronto. At
the same time we wrote ia letter
to the warden of the Federal peniten-
tiary asking for information about
Myers conviction. We sent a photo
of the man along and received a let
ter back stating that there was no
such man in that institution nor in
any of the other Federal institutions
which sent data to them.

NO INTENTION
TO TRY FOR PR|-
MARY LAW REPEAL
STATE AND COUNTY PAPERS
LEAD PEOPLE INTO ERROR
REGARDING PRIMARY LAW.

Farmers and others living in this
vicinity are in error when they think
that Representative Fred l.. Warner
of this city has introduced bill into
the present legislature which Will DO
away with the primary election law,
nor is Mr. Warner even In sympathy
with such a movement, as is appaent
from the letter which we have just
received from him and which is as
follows:
Banner Publishing Co.., Bedding, Mich.
Gentlemen: The statement in the
last issue of your paper relative
the repeal ( the primary electian law
has been called to my attention.
am somewhat surprised that you
would publish such statements as
facts without taking the precaution
10 learn what the facts are. l have
introduced no bill in the legislature
to repeal the primary election law
and have no intention of doing so.
On the contrary l am drafting some
amendments to the present law
which l hope will prevent the unfair
advantage taken of the primary by
some of the political parties.
No matter what the attitude OF the
men may have been toward a repeal
of the primary law prior to equal sur
frage. the return to the convention
system now, would practically dis
franchise the women as far as NOM
1t isn't, however, the farmer who
is Directing to the repeai of the pri-
mary law. He has not had the cp-
portunity to take advantage of it as
the electors in the cities have and 1t
has left the nomination of party can
didates to the cities and villages,
largely.
One of the biggest DIRECTORS to the
repeal of the primary law is the news
papers. 1t cuts off large revenue
from them along about primary cleo
tion time.
Sincerely yours,
Fred L. Warner.
The article in last weeks issue
came as a result of talks with several
prominent farmers near here who had
CLEANED the information from one or
more of the farm papers of wide
circulation. The writer of the arti-
Gle noticed comment regarding the
action in a Grand Rapids paper, in a
county paper and also in one of the
agricultural publications (which at
least one of our farmer informants
also noticed the article in.
We are of the opinion that Mr..
Warner is right in the proposed
amendm ents which he is drafting and
are glad to publish the legislator 8
Letter which will set the matter right
before the people of this section "a

Home Store Service No. 2.
Not merely do the stores of town
like Bedding assemble the products
of the wide world at your very doors,
but they save the public an enormous
amount of time.
To get these goods from all over
the earth, it would formerly have been
necessary to visit the nearest large
city. You would have to take a part
or the whole of a day, and visit some
great emporium. There millions of
money are invested, and the complex
system is operated on the high scale
trade. The cost of the thing to you
is not merely what you pay for the ar
ticle. 1t is your car fare, the din
ner in the city and most of all, the
time.
The home store lays down the ar
ticle from Egypt or Australia or In
dia on the counter at the price the
same thing will cost in the great city.
And even if you paid a lot more for
it, you could afford to. For you
have bought it without loss of your
valuable time, without any individual
expense whatever.

BETWEEN THE
ACTS TOBE GIVEN
BY HOME TALENT
POPULAR PLAY WILL BE REM
. DERED UNDER AUSPICES OF
S, JOSEPH DRAMATIC CLUB

The members of st. Joseph's ORA
matte club are rehearsing steadily in
preparation of giving their next play
in the local opera house and will be
in such class that by Thursday even
ing, Feb. 20, when they appear be-
fore their audience with Between
the Acts" they will not only have a
well known and favorite subject to
present, but will also have the ability
to produce it in a manner that will
be highly pleasing and entertaining
to the audience.
Tom Bracken, who takes the part
of Richard Comfort, finds himself in
a pretty fix when his uncle sends word
that he is to visit him at an early
date. Comfort has been the recip-
lent Of an income of $4,000 yearly
from this uncle on condition that he
would not marry, part of the con-
tract which he quickly broke, but has
managed so far to keep the matter
away from his uncle. Dale Klock,
who will be recognized as George
Merrygale, a close friend of Com
fort, gets him into all kinds of trou-
BILE when he appears on the scene and
talks too much while stopping at the
house.
Marvel Klock, Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold
Schmidt, Eva Hauck and Hubert En-
gemann take the parts of the other
characters and help to carry the play
through it's pleasing, entertaining
channels during the three acts to a
happy conclusion.
Tickets for the play are being sold
by the members Of st. Joseph's church
or they can be procured at Hotel
Belding. The reserved seats cost
10 cents extra and can be had at the
hotel. Your cooperation will be
greatly appreciated by the members
of the cast and thier friends if you
will purchase a ticket or two and at
tend the play.
