Big Musical Treats Coming

Music lovers Of Belding are assur-
ed of at least two wonderful musical
treats this spring in the line of high
class concerts.
The first event is Belongs Big
Fourth Annual Symphony Orchestra
Concert which will be given on Tues
day evening, April 29th, by 20 expert
musicians selected from all ever the
state and will be given under the aus
xpices Of the board of lady managers
the Belding hospital and the pro-
Oeeds will go TO help maintain our To-
cal hospital.
The second event is the visit to cur
city of the famous Furniture City
band of 35 expert musicians and solo
lists under the direction of Mr.. Orriss
Bonney who assures the local promot-
ers that the entire band will be on
hand. This band was organized in
1900 and during that time has become
one of the finest concert bands in the
middle west and musicians from all
over the United States have been in
duced to locate in Grand Rapids and
become members Of this big band, so
their visit to our city will be the
greatest musical treat we have ever
received in the music line. The date
Of their visit to Belding is on May
14th.
Both concerts will be given in the
Belding opera house at prices within
the reach of all.

Mr.. ad Mrs. w. ii. Wilson and Hell
en- arrived in Belding Tuesday after
noon after their winters sojourn in
the suny south. During their trip
they have been in sixteen different
states besides Michigan and the Dis
trict of Columbia. While in Florida
they were two months at st. Peters
burg and also spent some time in
Lakeland Highland. Orlando, Daytona
and st. Augustine. On the way
down they were for nine days in
Washington, as the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Clay Tallman and they made
a short stop in Wilson, N. G., to visit
Normal friend Of Mrs. Wilson's.
On the return trip they made stops
in Montgomery, Ala, and in Jackson
Miss, and spent nearly a week in
Mer Rouge, La, as the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles r. Tallman and of
Mrs. Anie Bell. Mr.. and Mrs. Will
son, while very enthusiastic over the
south, are glad to be in Belding once
more and they believe in the truth of
the old adage, There is no place like
home"

Set The Clocks Ahead.

Owing to the fact that congress
failed to take action on the matter of
doing away with the daylight saving
plan which was instituted as a war
time measure last summer and which
i therefore still in vogue, it will be
necessary for you to turn your clocks
ahead one hour next Sunday evening.
The time at which most of the people
in the state are going to turn the time
pieces ahead will be O'Clock. The
official time for turning them ahead
is 2 o'clock on Monday morning but
there is no need Of getting out of
bed to attend to this matter and if
you will turn it ahead before you go
to sleep you will be all right.
The railroad trains and other set
scheduled events will all go according
to the new time beginning next Mon
day and unless you do the same as
other people and turn your clocks and
watches ahead, you may find yourself
late for some engagement some time.

GOOD ROADS NIGHT
At COnG'L CHURCH
GEN. GREEN SPEAKER
COMMUNITY SERVICE SUNDAY
EVENING PROVED BOTH PRO-
FTTABLE AND PLEASANT.

The meeting at the Congregation
al church last Sunday evening was
largely attended by an interested
audience and all took part heartily in
the community singing of a number
of familiar hymns which were sung
by the whole congregation.
Miss Elizabeth Raynor and Miss A.
j. Rummler sang a beautiful duett,
Light at Evening Time," which they
rendered in their usual splendid way.
Mr.. Gildemeister also delighted the
audience with his rendition of "Re-
signation," and "Flower Song" en-
the violin, accompanied by Miss Will
son at the pipe organ.
The address of the pastor, Rev. w.
j. Rookie, on the Community Spirit"
was fine effort and timely in the ex-
cellent thoughts and suggestions
brought out and the large audience
was much interested in the subject
matter and of the easy and forceful
way Of his delivery.
For next Sunday evening musical
has been planned and prepared by
Mrs. SalZman, to be given in conjunc-
tion with the address, of Gen. Fred W..
Green, of Ionia, on "Gocd Roads"
Governor Sleeper has requested that
the churches give consideration to
the topic of Good Reads on March 80
and Gen. Green has been secured to
speak on that subject. His reputa-
tion as an excellent speaker is well
known throughout the state and he
is man Of unblemished character
and has held the confidence of the
people of Ionia as their mayor for
seven years.
1t is hoped to see a large atten-
dance Of people to enjoy the musical
and listen to the address,.

He Is Back Again.

Good Night! what do you know
about it, but Fred Schlegel is back
in business again and in partnership
with Will Ward in the Cash and Carry
Market on South Bridge street where
Mr.. Ward has been located for some
time past. Mr.. Schlegel was for
merly in the meat market business
with Mr.. Ward but about year or
so ago he sold out his interest and
left this city, going to Saginaw, where
he has since resided. Fred blew
back into the city Monday morning
and took up his interest in the mar
ket again at once and his many friends
will be glad to go in and meet him
again. He's good old scout and
we're glad he's back.

VICTORY DRIVE
WAR WORKERS WILL
BE GIVEN MEDALS
GERMAN CANNON TO BE MELT
ED UP AND CAST INTO MED
AIS FOR REWARDS.

An interesting fact in connection
with the Fifth Liberty Loan-the
Victory Loan drive as it is coming to
be popularity known by, is that all
workers who take part in making the
drive a success are going to be re-
warded in a measure by receiving a
medal which has been made from cap
tured German cannon which were
brought over to this country for this
purpose.
The official notice to this effect
was received from the treasury de-
partment through the publicity direc-
tor of the Liberty LoaT Organization
for the seventh federal reserve dis
trict and it reads as follows:
"You are at liberty to make full
use of the announcement that the
Treasury department will award
medals made from captured German
cannon to all workers during the Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign. The
medal is the size of a half dollar and
contains on one side reproduction
of the treasury building and on the
reverse side a certification of loan
participation. Space is left for en-
craving the name Of the recipient" !"
al heartily approve Of this action
of the government in casting up hon
or medals made from German can
non to award to Victory Liberty loan
workers." said Charles II. Schweppe,
director of campaign for seventh fed
eral reserve district. at supplies
an added incentive to supreme endea-
vor and surely will have a good eff
feet that will be shown in increased
sales. The awarding Of these med
ais made from cannon captured from
the foe should result in bringing us a
full complement of workers."

THE UNITED WAR
CAMPAIGN PLEDGES
MUST Be PAID
CURRENT IDEA THAT PAYMENT
NEED NOT BE MADE is WRONG
MUST BE FULLY PAID.

An idea has become current that
now that the war has about stopped
with the signing of the armistice,
the payment of the pledges made in
the last United War Work campaign
drive need not be paid. This is all
wrong and the amounts which the
people pledged at the time will have
to be paid in full as was the intent at
the time of the drive.
The following letter from the Off
cials at the head of the army and
navy departments to DIR. John r.
Mott, in charge of the United War
Wonk campaign is self explanatory
in this respect.
Washington, d. c., March 8, 1919.
DIR. John r. Mott,
Director General of the United War
Work Campaign.
Dear DIR. Mott: The war and navy
departments have been profoundly in
terested as you know in the United
war work campaign conducted last
fall, and in its successful result. The
total amount subscribed, including the
er-subscripticn of $35,000,000 we
regard not only as striking tribute
to the generosity of the American
people but as an evidence of the most
devoted and unselfish work on the
part of those engaged in the conduct
cf the campaign.
As we approved the original bud
gets of the seven societies which CO.
operated in the campaign the national
War Work council of the Young Mems
Christian association, the War Work
council Of the National board of the
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton, the National Catholic War coun-
Gil (the Knights of Columbus). the
Jewish Welfare board, the War Camp
Community service, the American Ii
brary association and the Salvation
Army, as we also approved the appeal
generous over subscription. we have
ing carefully the revised budgets re-
Gently submitted to us.
In this connection, we wish tc
state that in our judgment the full
sum subscribed in the campaign will
be required, if these societies are to
do what the American people desire
to have them do in serving the sol.
diers and sailors and the other classes
included in the original appeal. More.
over. there could in our Judgment be
no wiser use Of such funds The de.
mobilization plans. Sc far as they have
been determined. make it plain that
the work of the different organiza.
tions will be needed for long time
still. and owing to conditions which
necessarily characterize the period Oh
demobilizaticn this practical welfare
work viii be even more needed thar
ever. We understand from YOU thai
/ here and there throughout the coun.
trv are some subscribers to the func
who have raised the question as r.
whether the full sum subscribed vii
be needed. We cannot too strongly
reiterate our own convictions whicf
are shared by our associates. that th.
entire amount subscribed will be need
ed. All reports which reach us from
overseas confirm our estimate as tC
the necessity of maintaining. and II
some Of its aspects. augmenting, thi:
work
With grateful recognition, we are
cordially,
Newton ID. Baker.

Secretary of the Navy
