These are some of the things the War

publicity and the organization of War

These thoughts make us who have had

This thinking is interest and the say

For example, if every person in the
United States saved only one insignh-
cant, little nickel in one day by doing
without some useless and perhaps harm

This wonderful nation must now de-

BURSTING OF

CAUSED DEATH
REPORT OF HUGO ,TALES DEATH
is LATER ON CONFIRMED
BY WIRE FROM COUSIN

The report which we carried in last
weeks paper relative to the rumor
which had been received that Huge
Fales, son of Mayor and Mrs. Elmer
Fales, had been killed in France was
true. Later on Mayor Fales received
telegram from Major Charles Ross,
a cousin of Hugo's and who was ip
the vicinity of Bourges, where Hugo
was killed, which removed all doubt
as to the truth of the first word which
came.
Hugo Wing Fales was born in Bel
ding, on March IL, 1892. On January
lst, 1911, he entered the employ of
Belding Bros. & Co. at their whole
sale house in st. Louis, Mo-, where ne
remained one year. In 1912 he went

he held until he resigned and enlisted

was an editor who ever set straddle

opinion, you always knew his stand
and his talk and writings were al
ways straight from the shoulder.
Through the fact that it never took
him long to explain matters in his
typical straightforward honest style,
he was held to be rather eccentric by
many. One thing good about Avery
though, if he thought you at fault

in his next issue. Good luck to Avery

TWENTY-FIVE
MORE DWELLING
HOUSES ARE NEEDED
WORKERS IN LOCAL FACTORIES
UNABLE TO SECURE LIVING
PLACES IN OUR CITY

The crying need of this city just
now is for more houses to accommodate
the people who are looking for places
in which to live. Hardly day pass
es but that strangers from out of the
city and also many of our own citi-
zens are on a house hunting tour.
This is due in a great measure to the
sale of dwelling houses which have
heretofore been leased or rented ana
when a transfer is made. it usually
means that the tenant must move.
Then begins the tear up and the hunt
ing of another new house.
In a talk with Thomas Dawes, one
of our local contractors, he says that
there should be at least twenty-five
new houses built during the coming
summer in this city. Mr.. Dawes says
they need not be extensive dwellings
but cottages of the bungalow type
with from five to seven rooms and
neatly equipped with modern conven-
fences. Such a house would rent
quickly at a rental paying a good rate
of interest on the investment.
Most people who rent houses now
are perfectly willing to pay a higher
rate for comfortable quarters.
There are several wcrkmen at the
bort body works who are unable to
move to this city, anxious as they are
to do so, for the reason that no houses
can be found for their families and
they are obliged to go back and forth
between this city, where they work,
and Greenville or Ionia, where they
live, each day by train or automobile.
The man who owns his home today
NAV consider himself a lucky person
as he can GO to bed at night and know
that he will not be sold cut of a
''house and home" in the morning.
Building investments, if made with
reasonable prudence, are enhanced III
value with the increase in population.
