STARTED IN RIGHT
rs YEARS AGO

Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Reed began
married life just 25 years ago on
New Years day and in commemora-
ticn of the event the Bridge club, of
which they are members, dropped in
on them in the evening and effected
a complete surprise, but Mr.. and Mrs.
Reed proved equal to the occasion and
entertained their self invited guests
royalty. The guests presented Mr..
and Mrs. Reed with a splendid ma
hogany mantle clock, and games and
social intercourse made the time fly
swiftly by, with the result that the
people in the party were having
dainty refreshments served at mid
night, when the old year took it's
departure and Little 1919 came tod
ding in.
Out-of- town guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Ycst and son, Edward, and
nephew, Donald Yost, of Ypsilanti,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis Ranney of

NATION MOURNS WHEN
DEATH TAKES ROOSEVELT

Roosevelt is Deadi" These words
written on a bulletin board on the
corner of the Belding Savings bank
early Monday morning caused many
an expression of regret to be heard
when it became known for certain
that Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th
president cf the United States had
died at his home in Oyster Bay, N. Y,
at o'clock. as it was known that
with his passing went one of the most
thoroughly, all-American characters
comprising the population of the ma
tion and while many differed with him
in political and ether matters, all
were sorry to learn that "T. r." was
no more.
His funeral was being held this af-
ternoon at Oyster Bay and his burial
will take place in Young Memorial
cemetery there. All flags in the
city and very likely in every city, town
and village In the United States went
at half mast and remained there until
after the funeral to honore in . small
measure one of the nation;o, gpeatest

ORDERS CANCELLED
ON LOCAL GOVERN.
MENT WAR WORK
HOPES ARE ENTERTAINED THAT
LARGE QUANTITY OF RAW
MATERIAL CAN BE FINISHED.

The local branch of the Grand Rap
ids Brass Co., which has for a long
time back been operating exclusively
on government orders, received notice
from the company at Grand Rapids
Monday that from that time on they
were to discontinue all work on the
orders which they had en- hand inso-
far as the casting and moulding of
new material was concerned and that
only the work of finishing up the ma
teriaI- already ready for machining
should be continued.
AS a result of this order about 20
men were thrown out of work in one
of the worst periods of the year and
unless the orders are changed and the
men are replaced at their work the
chances are that they will soon be
hunting other places of employment
unless they are willing to wait and see
whether or not the government offic-
ials will be willing to allow for the
large stock of raw material on hand
in the local plant to be cast up and
moulded ready for the. machinists.
When the order came which can
celled the government contract and
which threw about 20 men out of en-
ployment there was a sufficient stock
cf castings ahead of the machine crew
to keep them working for the next
five or six weeks and this work will
be kept up until it is finished, the
cancellation order only taking i'm
mediate effect upon the molders.
Our reporter, in conversation with
j. c. Spoon, learned that the Grand
Rapids Brass Co. was planning on
sending some other work to this
branch and so even after the govern
ment orders are out of the way, there
will still be work enough &c keep the
local plant running and there is a
possibility that when the government
agent reaches this city today and
goes over the situation with the local
officials of the company, that he will
order the remainder cf the raw ma
terial on hand to be cast up and the
order carried out to completion as il
was at first intended.
The Grand Rapids Brass Co. have a
fine plant for their branch in this city
and it is hoped that they will be able
to keep the local men who are en-
plcyed in their shop busy, as many OF
them left other good paying positions
to take up the government work with
which the company was favored.

POSTS GREETING !,
FOR RETURNING
BELD|NG MEN.
LARGE ATTRACTIVE SIGN NOW
IN MICHIGAN WAR BOARD
OFFICES IN NEW YORK.

Whenever any of our Belding SOL
diers or sailors who are returning
home from overseas work, or when
ever they are on short furlough and
drop into the offices of the Michigan
War Board Relief commission at SO
West doth street, they will be given a
greeting which can have no other eff
feet upon them but making them feel
happy and glad that they hail from
the Silk City, where everybody knows
everybody else and is glad to see them
for on the walls of the office they
will see a splendid large sign, bearing
the following words, "Out in Michi-
gan, Belding-your home town, ex-
tends greetings and welcome home"
The sign is the handiwork of "Billy"
Monroe of this city and he made it at
the request of Sec Byron F. Brown
Of the local board of commerce to
whom the idea had been suggested.
Adelbert Richmond, a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ira Richmond of Smyrna, recent
ly wrote in to this office Of the great
need which the Michigan war board
office filled in providing a sort Of
"hcmey" place for the boys from this
state to gather either with themselves
or with their parents or friends who
may De NlSlClflR JnSf1. AOelDeTC gave
the idea out that the placing of some
kind of welcoming banner in the
office would be a good thing for the
city and that it would cheer many a
local man who is in the service and he
will undoubtedly be glad to lEarn
that his idea was quickly carried out.
He also gave US "tip" that it
would be a capital thing if the boys
who frequented the office for the uur-
pose of reading, smoking and other
wise passing the time, would be able
to get their hands On an occasional
copy Of the Belding Banner-News and
this gentle hint was afterward fol-
lowed up with few lines from Lon
Sage, former local man who is now
also in the navy, and both boys said
that they missed the home paper so
much that from now on until the of
flee is discontinued. the Banner-News
will be sent gratis there, to do it's
share of cheering the boys and letting
them know as the first opportunity
what is taking place in the old home
town.

JEAN CLARKE
TELLS OF SEEING
SIGHTS IN FRANCE
HEAVY WORK OF CARING FOR
WOUNDED OVER AND UNIT @
ANXIOUS TO GET BACK.

Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin Clarke are in
receipt of the following letter from
their daughter, Miss Jean Clarke,
well known here as a nurse and up to
the time Of her enlistment with the
Red Cross forces she was superin-
tendent of the Belding hospital.
Evidently with the cessation Of hos
tilities and no more freshly wounded
work of the nurses is not so strenu-
Gus as it was while the shells were
whizzing back and forth almost inces-
sanity and so Miss Clarke had little
time off as a vacation which she
is using sightseeing through France.
Paris, France, Dec. 8, 1918.
Dear Folks at Home:
My very pleasant and interesting
vacation has come to an end and / am
back in Paris once more.
have certainly had a wonderful
privilege to be able to go to southern
France, it is so pretty; Nice is right
on the shore of the Mediterranean
sea and so sunshiny and warm.
We took trips to the nearby towns
cf Cannes, Minton, Monaco and Monte
Carlo. / was in that famous gam
bling casino there and saw the tables
where so many fortunes have been
won and lost and saw the men playing
and the game most entirely.
We visited the Prince of Monaco's
palace and his wonderful museums.
But / enjoyed the walks in the
mountains most of all. There are so
many tiny villages built on the side
of the mountains, one house about an
other and each with it's few orange
trees and roses climbing over the old
grey wall and everything here is
walled in and such a profusion of
geranium vines loaded with pink BIOS
SONS growing from the crevices of
the wall. People here seem to be about
90 years behind the time.
Their buildings surely resist the
wear and tear of time. I've climbed
up old towers built 600 and 700 years
ago and old forts all about built in
Bible times. took some pictures
which / hope will come out good.
| got an enormous bunch of maga-
ines the other day and found 10 let
ters and card waiting for me when
l got back. One of your letters that
you wrote July 10 but forgot to put
the hospital number on just got to me.
Had one from Maud and Ray sent her
card but nc address. He hasn't
tried to see me or written me either
She said she was working in the
Charleston navy yard and would as
long as Ray was away.
Our camp is all cleared out; we have
no patients and are just waiting or
ders to move to another hospital a
short distance from Paris but don't
know whether there is anything def
mite about it yet or not our doctors
were asked if they wanted to go home
or stay and / think the majority OF
the men signed up to go home if they
could and that's the way things stand
now and it makes one feel very uneasy
not to know what is going to happen
/ hope it means home for I'm ready
to come, cnly | can't be there foi
Christmas. We had a very nice
Thanksgiving dinner, turkey and all
but as one poor boy said to me, it's q
good dinner but the principle thing:
are missing, there is no mother OF
father and we all felt as he did. We
know it can't be lcng now before We
come and the worst is over.
Lots of love, from

The objects are: To unite in frater-

ance with laws which prefer honor
