IN SUNNY SOUTH
FORMER LOCAL RESIDENTS
TELL OF ARRIVING AT NEW
HOME IN ALABAMA

We are in receipt of the following
letter from w. Il. Sumner, a wei
known and respected resident of this
city and the Chadwick neighborhood
who recently sold out his real estate
here and purchased property al
Grand Bay, Alabama, where the tenn
perature is such that in the summer
time one can get warm all the way

Belding Banner-News.
Dear Editor:
/ wish to say few words TO the
good people of Belding through the
medium of your ndwsy paper.
We landed safely at~Grand Bay,
Alabama on Saturday morning, Nov.
9Th. Our house hold goods have not
reached US yet neither has Jack Frost
put in an appearance.
Through the kindness of our neigh
bors we are living in our own house
and getting along nicely. We are cook
ing on fire place until we can get a
stove and it seems a little primitive
to us all.
The farmers in this part of the
country are cutting their late hay,
digging their sweet potatoes and max
ing sugar cane syrup, which is a good
crop. The syrup is worth $1.15 per
gallon, at wholesale. Sweet potatoes
are worth from s1.25 to $3.50 per bu.
Irish potatoes are as high as they
were in Belding in June, too dear to
eat.
Farmers are prospering in this part
of Alabama. / Was treated the first
day landed in Grand Bay, to some
OF the. Satsuma Oranges which grow
here and are, think, the best orange
In the world.
Trusting this will find all tho friends
well and your paper on the road 70
Grand Bay, / remain.
Respectfully yours,

tendent, Mr.. Skinner, / wish to give
the following true facts of the case

double responsibility and therefore
feel perfectly justified in this:

sent to Columbus, Ohio and from there
to Fort Dupont on the Delaware for
training and was sent overseas the
latter part of June. His division was
stationed near Ishuteel about Is miles

COLD WEATHER
BRINGS LOSS IN
POTATO SHIPPING
PROTECTION is NEEDED AS A
SHORTAGE OF REFRIGERA-
TOR CARS is HANDICAP

The fact that railroad companies
are not responsible for freezing loss
in potato shipments, after November
/, unless shipment is made in refrig-
orator cars, and the added fact that
a shortage of refrigerator cars al
ways makes it necessary for Michi-
gan growers to ship in ordinary box
cars, is the cause of great loss to
shippers unless adequate precautions
are taken, declares G.. III. Coons, of the
botany department of the Michigan
Agricultural College, at Lansing.
Michigan weather is so uncertain
that it is extremely dangerous to
"take a chance" OH the temperature
and shippers who are unable to get
ahold of the proper cars should always
make special preparations to prevent
freezing.
'sThe ,installation of false floors,
lining with heavy paper, the use of
straw, etc, and the use of portable
heaters are necessary protective mea-
sures which must be taken il the los
ses from freezing of potatoes are to
be minimized when ordinary box cars
are used" says DIR. Coons. "An ounce
Of prevention means saving to every
one.
"The problem begins with the grow
er, who must guard against freezing
in the field and who must Gull worth
less from transportable stock. 1t also
demands that shippers prepare their
cars properly to withstand extreme
temperature through which they are
likely to pass: and finally, the carriers
must handle shipments efficiently"

Two more on tap today. This dou- bleheader habit is beginning to tell on some of the faithful It's been a hard week on the gobblers and dope devourers. especially when a series of defeats was all they got for their en- durance.
 But today neither Little Rock nor Atlanta are here so we may well hope for better things. Our boy Johnny Morrison and Josephus Coffindaffer called Coffindodger by come, will de- corate the mound in the two engage ments Moley thinks Coffindaffer is just now getting his stride and he ex- poets him to be a winner from now on.
 Sat" Summa the new outfielder, will report today and may break right into the lineup. Summa will probably go to right field as stated on this sheet yesterday Waivers will have to be asked on somebody in order to make room for the new gardener and Fisher is slated to be the unlucky party. Fish has played a pretty fair brand of ball with the Barons and many fans who have seen him pull several circus catches will wonder why he is getting the gate.

 Eddie Mcdonald may be able to get in the game today though he will be at a big disadvantage if he does so
 ''whitey" Glazner is coming around all right and may be as good as ever in a few days On the other hand, Whitey may break down again during any game, but that's the pessimistic view.
 Cy Slapnicka is in shape to pitch and can go in any day now.
 Herb Kelly played in the outfield for the Lookouts all during the early part of the season but since they started using him in the box he has won six straight games.
 When Mcdonald reurns to the game Lucy" Hairston will get an opportun- ity to show his wares as a catcher. Lucy hasn't caught a game since he joined the team although he has play ed practically every day Peters needs little rest and he will get it soon.

A Second "Book of Bravery"

r IKE the first book, Henry Wysham
L. Laniers The Book Of Bravery:
Second Series, is a veritable treasuretrove
for both boy and girl, and for that matter
grownups too. These tales, which he has
carefully gathered, are of heroic deeds of
men and women in every age. Just as he
did before, Mr.. Lanier has taken upon
himself to fill In the picture or to make
it more vivid from his imagination, but
only where this was possible without
violating Historical accuracy" as he ex-
plains.
AT any rate, his stories are not the cut
and dried, matter of fact historical type.
He makes them readable. Beginning with
Capt. John Smith, Mr.. Lanier lets the boy
and girl spend a few minutes each with
Daniel Boone, John Golfer, Davy Crock
EFT, Kit Carson and other frontiersmen.
Leaving the pioneers, he takes the boy to
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-10-12

the thorny, jungled parts of Africa, where
with A. Radcliffe Dugmore the boy pho
tographs a, charging rhinoceros and hunts
big game with Frederick Courtney Selous.
The third part of his book Is devoted to
Explorers Of the UnknOwn. Columbus, a
well and favorably known explorer, starts
off the first chapter. In this part the
reader takes trip down into a volcano
with Ordaz, is passenger on the fist air
voyage, goes up into the Arctic and con-
quers the pole with Peary. ST. F.!
Besides all these there are stories of
brave acts done by women, and at the end
of the volume Mr.. Lanier gives us The
Story Of Nameless Negro Boy. Upon
examination of this story one finds that
its chief character, the nameless boy, is
none other than Booker T. Washington.
