ELECT NEW OFFICERS FOR
 YEAR 1920

The Elks' lodge meeting of last night was devoted to the annual in- stallation of officers. The fact that new officers were to be installed drew out the full attendance of the lodge and one of the most enthusiastic meetings held for long time was the result. District Deputy Herndon as sisted by various past exalted rulers, conducted the impressive installation ceremony of the Elks.
 Judge John ]. Sweeney was placed in the exalted rulers chair to sue ceed retiring Exalted Ruler McSwig- gin. Judge Sweeney was the unani- nous choice of the lodge for this po- sition, and his behavior in the chair after installation convinced all the Elks present that his administration promises to be equally as snappy as the one just closing.
 Other officers installed were: Lead ing knight, Benjamin Powers; loyal knight, Clarence McNeill; lecturing knight, Eli s. Perkins; tiler, A. Eman- uel; secretary, A. J. Herndon; esquire, Eddie Dillon; inner guard, Julius Ja- coby; grand lodge representative, E. A. McSwiggin; trustee, C. F. Gentry.
 That the great work done during the war by the Elks and being done since the war in showing the boys the Way Back" to useful lives, is not to be allowed to slackcn, if all lodges of Elks will keep up with the en- thusiastic step set by the mother lodge of Arizona, Prescott No. 33O No opportunity for carrying out the exemplary objects of the order is to be overlooked.
 All the officers and the large crowd of Elks in attendance, including many visiting Elks, were enthusiastic in their devotion to the carrying out of the great welfare work undertaken Predictions were freely made that an immediate leap forward is in sight for Elkdom on account of the fact that conditions are at present requiring the fullest activity and usefulness or the tenets of the order

The base ball war is over, and both
camps are peaceful with the result
of harmony and boosting for both
teams. The little differences have
been satisfactorily settled for both
sides, and there is the best of feeling
throughout.
Belding will benfit by having two
good base ball teams and they will
take turns in the Sundays for games
here in Belding. Thus Belding will
be able to see good base ball game
every Sunday by one or the other of
the teams.
For this Sunday the Belding Fac
tory league team will play Hastings
on these grounds. Hastings has a
very good team, and the league team
has shown better ability by defeat
ing more strong teams than weak
ones. This game ought to have the
support of every lover of base ball.
1t is costing quite bit to get Hast
ings here, but the admission will be
but 20 cents straight including the

splendid bunch of Boy Scouts with
their leader, Belding minister, all
of whom were camping on Big Bost-
wick, over for ball game. We had

loose in his pocket. We raked the
sard and searched but no trace OF
the Waltham could be found. Last
evening while playing on the same
grounds the watch was found IN ne
cant where the minister must ave
slid onto third base. We were over
joyed at finding it, even though the
second hand and crystal were miss
ing. The funy part is, is that the
watch is running and keeping good
time.
We are unable to remember the
reverend's name but if you can find
out for us and have him write US, we
shall be more than pleased to return
the watch to him.
Dent you think this a pretty good
