Where They Cry The News

Over in Serbia they still cling to
the old fashioned and prepaper days
of sending out the town crier when
ever there is some news or notices to
be given to the public. The crier
has a drum and he walks from one
street corner to another making stops
at each corner. When he arrives he
beats up the old drum and walls until
crowd gathers then in a stentorian
voice announces the news after which
he passess on. If the price of print
paper goes up much higher this same
custom may be in vogue here in this
country. For years back however,
loyal advertising merchants and loyal
subscribers who pay their subscrip-
tions promptly have kept this town
from facing this town crier PROPOSE
tion. If you are a merchant in this
cftX you ought to be doing your
share to keep the home town paper
helping you to receive more business
through the patronage of it's adver.
tising columns and if you are a SUBJ
scriber to this paper you ought to
do your part by seeing to it that
your subscription is paid up.

SHERIFF MAKES
LONG TRIP AFTER
FAMILY OESERTER
In RAILROAD WRECK BUT BE-
ING USED TO RIDING IN FORD
DOES NOT NOTICE BIG BUMP

For the past year or more Sheriff
Mark Hoppough has been trying to
locate George w. Yost in order to
arrest him for wife desertion on a
warrant sworn out by Mrs. Yost in
Justice r. b. Lapham's Court.
Yost left his wife and family of
two children while living in Ohio, af-
ter moving to that state from De-
troit and she was obliged to come
home to Belding. Mr.. Hoppough To-
Gated him once in a Wisconsin town
but he eluded the officers and went
south. Last week the sheriff re-
ceived Jay tip that he was in Daytona,
Florida and he is now on his return
with his man. Mark had an exper-
ience according to the Ionia Senti>
mel:
Sheriff Hoppough, enroute to Day.
tona, Fla, as usual had to strike a
little excitement before arriving at
his destination. The train on which
he left Grand Rapids, was wrecked
near Richmond, Ind, Saturday morn
ing at 5 o'clock. Hrs. Hoppough
read of the wreck in the paper and
was somewhat worried, but received
no word from him till this morning,
when a telegram dated Saturday at
10 o'clock told the story of his es-
cape. Most of the cars of the train
were piled up. when the train jump,
ed the track but the sleeper, in which
the sheriff was, was not wrecked.
The word stated that he was in the
upper No. berth and when the shock
was over he found himself up at the
end of the car. However, he sus-
tanned only slight bruises, but will
be delayed day on his trip. 1t is
hoped that there will be no more ac-
ci&ents, and he will arrive safely
home with his man. The speed with
which the message came shows the
amazing convenience of the system
and the next time the sheriff sends
message home he will probably send
special delivery letter, as it will
come about as quickly.

What Others Have to Say


One hears so many complaints
about farming these days especially
in our daily papers that it would
seem the farmers are a discontented
bunch. But such is not the case.
There are a certain class of discon-
tents who are never satisfied in
either country of city.
The farmer who quits and goes to
town to work will again drift back
where he can be his own boss. We
who are left on the farms are not
missing che drifters any. In fact our
farm communities are getting down
to the real home owners who are
really the ones that count in a COM
munity.
The farmers are not worrying
about the high cost of living but are
their living with enough to spare to
fatten their bank account q little
each year. If we would all realize
of readjustment such as must follow
a war we would not worry so much
about the present extreme condi-
tions. Let US all try and get all the
enjoyment out of each day that il
springtime been more welcome or
beautiful and the farmers here
are making an extra effort and are
anything but discouraged The farm
ers have long working hours but they
can quit any time they wish and take
day off with no special loss. They
can also whistle or sing at his work
with no bosses to forbid. Why
shouldn't the farmer be happy when
he lives in the beautiful out Of doors
with all the beauties of nature as his
companions No wonder he is the
longest lived of all men, and also the
happiest. Mrs. Neil Gilmore

BELOING LOSES ANNUAL
TRACK MEETT0 ROCKFORD

The annual Field and Track meet
with Rockford High School, held last
Saturday at Spicer's track, created
the usual amount of interest among
the local High School athletes. The
meet with Rockford has become an
annual affair and serves the purpose
of trying out the local athletes and
getting a line on who will be best
able to compete in the annual County
meet held at Ionia. Belding High
has always won the meet with Rock
ford, but this year, Rockford easily
turned the tables and romped away
with the meet with SO points to Bel
ding's 81. Over-confidence and lack
of training were the two main reas-
ons why the local aspirants failed to
take more than two firsts, those being
in the half-mile and discus throw.
Less than weeks remain before the
big annual Uounty Meet which is
held at Ionia Fair Grounds on the 5th
of June and it begins to look as if the
Belding High will have to get down
and do some real hard plugging to
uphold her record of the past.
Following is a summary of the
events in the meet with Rockford /:
one-half mile run-1st Belding, End
Rockford, 3rd Rockford, time 2-29 lis
