BARBER PLANT
RECONSTRUCTED
Rapid Work Done at Asphalt
Co. Plant Following Fire
That Wiped Out Industry.

The ashes and twisted iron work
that once was the plant of the Bar
Der Asphalt Paving Company.
which was totally destroyed by fire
on September &c to rs. is being
cleared away as rapidly as possible,
and way is being made for the lay
ing OF railroad tracks on the prop
erty as soon as the ground has been
cleared and leveled.
Much difficulty will be experienced
in removing the large steel struc-
lures and travelling cranes that were
partly melted and i'm many cases
burned so hat they fell among the
debris and brick and sheet metal.
The steel frame work or most of the
buildings are buried under tons of
ashes, which must be cleared away
before an attempt is made to SAL
wage the metal.
A building which was to have been
a roofing plant and had not been in
operation up to the time it was de-
stroyed, Is in such a condition that
one side is half collapsed. being only
supported by parts of the steel
beams. This portion Is in such a
position that when the ruins are re-
moved from under 1t, there is dam
ger of it falling. AS II is. most of
the clearing away of the ruins will
be dangerous work, and skill will
have to be used in removing the
tons of steel that is left standing
with such frail supports. which now
comprise the only means of holding
up the only parts of the plant that
are left.
Tons and tons of ashes, which
were ice the raw material and
stock of the company, will have to
be taken away before foundations
can be started under way. Much Of
the asphalt that was caused to How
over the ground because of the in
tense heat of the flames, has been
removed, and the railroad tracks
that were covered with this material
are now in shape so hat they may
be used. However, there is parts of
the plant property where the as
phalt still remains that will prove
difficult to clear away. as 1t has cool
ed and formed a hard surface.
There are some piping and por-
tons of the iron wor that a be
salvaged for use in the new plant,
but at present it is not known just
how much OF such material can be
used for rebuilding purposes. 1t ap-
pears that the large steam lines and
other shipping can be sufficiently re-
claimed as to warrant their use for
part of the new system.
At present the clearing away of
the ruins is the principal showing
toward reconstruction, and as there
are masses of useless material to be
removed, ii will be a few weeks be-
fore actual work on new buildings is
started. Plans are under way for a
new roofing plant, which will be n
of the first portions of the company
to be erected. Just what other part
of the plant will be started is not
known at this time. but the boiler
room and power house r the essen
tial units of the firm and it is be-
lieved that these buildings will be
the next to be constructed.

The Reauties of the South

We are in receipt of descriptive
circular and booklet sent us by Mrs.
John Crossken and telling all about
the glorious climate and beauties OF
the southland and Palm Beach, Flori-
da, in particular. We dunno, but af-
ter going through what we went thru
up here in Michigan this past winter,
we are inclined to believe that there
"aint no sech place" as those pic
lures portray. Mr.. and Mrs. Cross
ken were former residents of this
city and have spent the winter at
West Palm Beach, Florida. We have
at several times in the past received
this beautiful advertising matter of
the south from Mrs. Crossken althouh
during the time when we were wad-
ing through four feet of snow, the
receipt of bunch of that literature
had about the same effect on us as
the stroking the wrong way of the
fur on a cats back has on feline
it rather aggravated, you know.

MACCAbEES TO HOLD
COUNTY RALLY WITH
THE SMYRNA TENT
MANY LOCAL MEMBERS OF OLD
ORDER ATTENDED BIG
MEETING AT IONIA

That was sure some meeting which
the Knights and Lady Maccabees held
at Ionia Thursday night and it is
rather doubtful if the county seat
city ever entertained a bigger or a
cleaner bunch of fraternalites than
were gathered there on the occasion.
One thing is certain and that is that
no fraternalist body of people ever
gathered in Ionia and listened I'd
more honest-to-goodness fact speech
es than were delivered there by Su-
preme Commander Markey. of the X.
o. T. M. and Great Commander Burns
of the l.. o. T. M. The same can be
said of the good time which the boys
and girls had after the completion of
the program and partaking of re-
freshments.
The meeting was an exceptional
one in the history of fraternal or
ganization in the fact that three Of
fficers high up in the affairs of the
order were present and gave address
ses, the speakers being none other
than Supreme Commander ID. +. Mar
KEY and Great Commander Thompson
of the Knights and Great Commander
Frances +. Burns, of the Ladies or
der. Their talks were not only along
fraternal lines but they also touched
on important matters which confront
the country today and their talks
were full of good advice. None of
the speakers took a great deal of
stock in silly fads which are held out
to the people to take up and warned
against them. They advocated a re.
turn to the safer and more sane old
time methods of living and the prac>
tice of true 100 per cent American.
ism, coupled with the thrift and
economy which so many persons are
at present ignoring.
Followin the talks-which we re-
peat-were exceptionally good, a
splendid and substantial serve-self
supper was enjoyed after which the
room was cleared and lovers of the
Terpschorean art tripped the light
fantastic toe to the fine music rem,
dered by Ionia's orchestra until an
early hour in the morning.
| was decided that the next county
rally is to be held with Smyrna hive
and tent as hosts at Smyrna, on
Thursday evening, May 20, 1920 and
as Smyrna is noted for the good old
fashioned times it always has, 1T Is
up to every member of the Maccabee
order to set this date for that event
and be one of the crowd to be therl
and keep the Smyrna folks from be-
ing disappointed because of not hav-
ing a record turnout.
Notices have been sent TO the sec.
retary Of every Maccabee tent and
hive in the county and it is earnestly
hoped that every place in the distric,
will be well represented.

Mothers Day Proclamation
(By the Governor)

Although its observance dates back
but few years, Mothers Day has
already become hational institution
and is fittingly and tenderly celebrat-
ed by all and conditions of people
throughout the land.
1t is well that we should pause amid
the hurry and hustle Of life and let
our thoughts go back to the days of
long ago, as we cherish the memory
of the mothers who have left us.
While they were with us their chief
concern was our welfare and comfort
and happiness, and the mothers of
today are animated by the same spirit
of devotion and sacrifice. Indeed,
nowhere else in human life is the
spirit of unselfish service so. we'll ex-
emplified as in the devotion of moth
ers TO their homes and families.
Therefore, that we may pay special
tribute of affection to the mothers
who still live and homer the memory
of those who have gone from us, /,
