P. N. TRAIN
KILLS MAN IN
SIGHT OF HOME
WAS EVIDENTLY RACING TO
BEAT TRAIN HOME. DEATH
WAS INSTANTANEOUS

The noon Pere Marquette passen-
ger train down from Howard City,
on Monday, struck Saxon automo-
bile owned and driven by Chester
Mason, living nearby the crossing
just east of Wright's roller mill,
at Greenville, where the accident
happened n d besides instantly
kinnink Mr.. Mason and horrib-
ly mangling his body, it so
completely demolished the automo-
bile that it was difficult to ascertain
the make of the car.
The train was in charge of con-
ductor Fred Sherry and the train
crew or the railroad is not likely to
be held to blame in any way for the
accident as the track is very plainly
visible for a long distance on each
side of the crossing, respectfully to
any one approaching the track from
the west The train crew stated it
was their opinion that Mason was
racing to get across the track before
the train reached the crossing or that
he was unaware that the train was
approaching, although he should have
known this, as he had been to the
station to meet some relatives who
were expected to come in on the train
Mason lived but a short distance
from the crossing and his wife, who
was keeping an eve on his return
with the expected company, saw the
train come to a stop and a crowd
gather. She went down to see what
was the matter but was not allowed
to come near the scene as the body
of her husband was so horribly man
gled and cut up that 1t little resem-
bled the human being that it had
been short time before. The arms
and legs were cut off and the lungs,
heart and other internal organs were
exposed, the entire chest having been
torn away. Death could have been
none other than instantaneous.
The automobile was so badly
wrecked that it was hard to make
out the name of the machine and the
remnants of the car were carried or
thrown for about fifty feet.

TO
GATHER At BIG
N. A. C. MEETING
MANY PROBLEMS OF TIMELY
AND VITAL INTEREST ARE
TO BE TAKEN UP

Saturday, August is to be Far
mers' Day at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College at Lansing, and prep
arations for the entertainment of a
great crowd of rural visitors are
going forward at East Lansing. Bus
mess and pleasure will be mixed in
equal proportion, and every effort is
being made by the college authori-
ties to make the day the biggest
summer melting of its kind in the his
tory of Michigan agriculture.
Problems of vital and timely inter-
est to farmers will be taken up thru
out the day. During the inspection
of the college plant in the morning
and the general meeting in the after
noon questions of practical and inn
mediate value will be emphasized.
Such matters as the clover seed sit
uation in the state, the use of lime
the Hessian Fly, the Michigan Soil
Survey, fall planting and fertilizer
requirements and many other things
of like nature will be discussed.
Speakers of both local and nation
al reputation are being lined up. l..
Whitney Watkins, Of Manchester,
will preside at the afternoon meeting,
which is to be held on the college
campus, while two or three of the
leading agricultural authorities of
the country will be on the program.
Rest rooms and headquarters for
women will be established in the Wo-
mems building where matters of in
terest to farm women will be on hand
The college gymnasium will be thrown
open for the children. Games will
be handled under the direction of
the department of athletics and ply
sical training, while the big pool
will be open during the day-certain
hours for boys and others for girls.
Information and exhibit booths un-
der the trees on the campus, picnic
facilities for the basket lunch at
noon, and other special entertain
ment features are being arranged to
add to the comfort and pleasure of
the visitors.

D|LO|NE SCHOOL
ASSOCIATION To
HOLD RENU|0N
ANNUAL EVENT OF OLD EAST
ON TOWNSHIP SCHOOL TO
BRING MANY TOGETHER

A reunion of the Dildine School
Association will be held at the Dill
dine School House in Easton, Ionia
county, Michigan, on Wednesday,
August IL, 1920, at noon. AS usual
a basket picnic will be a feature, each
family or group of persons bringing
their own provisions, also knives,
forks, spoons and all dishes except
plates and cups, which will be pro-
vided by the Committee on Entertain
ment. A collection will be taken for
Incidental expenses. Participants
from such distance as to make it
seriously inconvenient to bring their
own provisions will be entertained
as at previous reunions. While So
ciability will, as usual, be the prin-
cipal feature of the occasion, brief
program has been planned.
All who expect to attend this re-
union are urgently requested so to
inform the chairman of the Commit
tee on entertainment, o. f. Newton,
6O7 w. Main street, Ionia. Mich,
at the earliest possible date, stat
ing the probable number in each par
ty. Lack of this information has
usually greatly INCREASED the diff
culties of the committee. An at
tempt will be made to arrange trans
portation from Ionia to the school
house. If those from a distance at
tending the reunion who will reach
Ionia on the morning of August IL
will give Mr.. Newton sufficient no.
tice, it may be possible to have con-
veyances ready to meet them at the
train.
All former teachers and pupils of
Dildine school are cordially invited
to attend these reunions; and all who
were such not later than the year
1910 may became active members Of
the Association. On the occasion of
each reunion, notices are mailed a
suitable time in advance to such for
mer pupils and teachers as have
shown interest in the matter by at
tending one or more reunions. or by
informing the secretary by letter or
otherwise of such interest. AS it
is useless to waste postage in notify
ing parties not manifesting interest
in the reunions, the names of any
such which may have been included
in our address list will be dropped
after a time. Certain persons who
have not yet found it practical to
attend any of the reunions, from the
memorable first one in 1904, to the
present, have been highly enjoyable
and much interest in them has been
shown throughout. The older men,
bers, and founders, of the Associa-
tion are gradually passing away and
their places are being taken by pu-
pills and teachers of later time, but
it is hoped that the work of the AS
sociation may continue indefinitely,
to perpetuate the memories and as
sociations so dear to many of us.

MANY CITIES
OWE GROWTH
! .'' TO AUTO INDUSTRY
BELDING STANDS IN FOR BIG
BOOM WITH SUCCESS OF
JACQUET ASSURED

Several Michigan cities are enjoy
ing periods of rapid growth and
great prosperity. At the mead of the
list is Detroit and then comes Flint
both due to the boom in the auto
mobile industry. Lansing is having
a rapid growth and this also has an
automobile foundation. Muskegon
has been growing so fast that it has
been difficult to find houses for new
comers. Grand Haven also reports
a shortage of houses. A local man
visited Detroit and Flint during the
week and says that if he had not
actually seen the growth that is going
on he would not believe such progress
possible.
The successful floating Of the
Jacquet stock will do just the same
piece of business for Beldipg. The
city is admirably situated for and
able to care for an automobile in
dustry and no effort should be spar
ed in the matter of keeping it as
one Of the going concerns of our city
and if this is done there is no ques-
tion but what the word "Jacquet"
will in the not far distant future be-
come as synonymous with the auto
mobile industry as the name Bel
ding has with silks.

SAYS CLAY TALLMAN is RIGHT
ON THE JOB WHEN 1T COMES
TO THE VESTS GOOD

"The Great Divide" paper pub
lished in Denver, Colo, recently paid
a glowing tribute to a former local
boy, Clay Tallman, in the publication
of an article by it's editor, Volney I.
Hoggatt, entitled "The Men Who
Understand Great West. While
the decisions were handed down
by John Barton Payne, now secretary
Of the interior of this country, the
man who has made possible these
decisions beneficial to the people of
the great west is the none other than
Clay Tallman, now commissioner of
the general land office for the United
States and whom Mr.. Payne depends
on for advice in whatever matters
come I'D before him.
Mr.. Tallman was a former local
resident and is nephew of Mrs.
VIM. Wilson, south of this city and
Miss Olivia Slawson of this place.
Mr.. Tallman attended and gained
most of his education in the local
high school and was a member of
the graduating class of 1891. His
many friends will be pleased to learn
that the people of the west are ap-
preciative of his work, as is evidenc-
ed by the following which we have
taken from "The Great Divide, a

HOW TO BEST
SPEND GOOD ROADS
BONDING ISSUE
ARE AIMING ON PUTTING IN
BEST PAvEMENTS TO WITH
STAND HEAVY WEAR

To the construction of the splendid
system of heavy traffic highways for
which $50,000,000 recently authoriz-
ed, Michigan's officials and highways
experts now are turning their efforts.
Selection Of the type of pavement
which best will withstand the travel
of hundreds of motor trucks and cars
daily is the first aim of the highway
builders. The enormous development
of motor truck traffic in the last two
years and the certainty that this
traffic will grow tremendously in the
near future, have emphasized the
Importance of building with an eye
wide open to the future.
In this problem Michigan is not
alone. But with the truck line bond
issue approved, this state has turned
to the experience of other common
wealths, TO profit by their investiga-
tions and their success or failures in
highway construction.
With motor trucks already struggl-
ing vatiantly to realize the freight
congestion, and the railroads still
lacking hundreds of engines and cars
the highways of the country will be
called upon to withstand the pound
ing of abnormal traffic, during the
next few years. In hundreds of
counties roads built according to
standards which ten years ago were
modern, have gone to pieces. Many
miles of highways constructed with
in the last three or four years also
have failed and in each failure lies
lesson, according to highway en-
gineers.
Residence in the wearing surface,
while residence is obtained by the
use of wooden ties on ballast road
bed.
Where states are building for the
future the strength essential to roads
is obtained by the use of concrete as
a foundation. Experiments extending
over years have proved this material
unsurpassed as a base.
The residence necessary if the
highway is to last is secured by the
use of sheet asphalt of asphaltic
concrete. To the highway the native
lake asphalt gives a waterproof, last
ing covering, which absorbs the
shocks of traffic, and protects the
concrete base.
Not only does the asphaltic surface
afford a durable, dustless, silent
highway. but its resilient qualities
lesson the wear and tear on motor
cars. Travel over many 40-year old
asphalt pavements is easier on trucks
than travel over newer and harder
surface highways.
Michigan's engineers are urged to
devote particular attention to the
drainage question by experts from
other states, for proper drainage is
almost as essential as a proper base
For many of the highways, it is
possible broken stone foundation
may be utilized. New York, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and other
states have had marked success with
asphaltic concrete highways on such
a base and roads of this type are
standing up splendidly, despite heavy
traffic.

The Source OF All Happiness

To do a thing for the pure Joy of
doing it; to try and see things not
solely from your own little view
point but also from the viewpoint of
the other fellow; to admit, mentally,
that there MAJ be others in this
world besides yourself; to keep
plunging right straight along all the
time, seeking TO get all the JOY and
satisfaction out of each moment; TO
never be content with mediocrity
never admit defeat, never grow
weary in your striving for the
heights-THAT is Happiness. And
the really and truly happy man or
woman is the successful one. The
world smiles WITH you--but u
laughs at you. And should it laugh
at you in the beginning, If you smile
back and keep on plunging, soon an
answering smile will come-and you
have been admitted into the Clan of
the Happy. IL you stand upright and
defy this world to present situation
in which you can not find ray of
happiness, you will find that more
and more happiness comes to you each
day. Don the armor Of unassailable
Happiness, friend. Buckle it tight
around you and take In your hand
the sword Of Purpose and the SEEM
ing giants of despair will dissolve
into jibbering ghosts with no power
to harm. Insist on being happy. Let
nothing swerve you from that pur-
pose.

ExIDE BATTERY MAN
ALSO BOOSTS JACQUEI

"As rule, the term service sta
tion is something one thinks about
only when he has trouble, says
Clayton Steele, local Service man for
the famous Exide and an enthusiastic
booster for the Jacquet, the locally
manufactured auto which will be fit
ted up with the Exide battery equip
ment.
I'm our case it's a little different
First of all, we want the motor car
owners in this vicinity to feel that we
are willing to do more than make
their repairs for which we are paid.
Often man wants to know some
thing about his battery or his cleo
trical system, regardless of trouble.
Or perhaps he has heard of somebody
else having a certain trouble that
ne wants to avoid. Right there is
where real service comes in.
when the Exide Company arrang-
es for Service Station, it is with
the understanding that it is being
established for the car owners wei
fare. They see to it that every dis
tributor is properly equipped both in
tools and knowledge of batteries, to
give xepert service in all branches
of battery work.
Besides the Service Station must
show willingness to give informa-
tion and advice to Exide owners
without charging them exhorbitantly
for it. He must even go as far as
to make a thorough examination of
the Exide battery to determine its
condition, and report this to the own
er before any repairs are made.
".All this may seem like working
a hardship upon the Service Station.
But when he sits the matter to the
bottom he finds it is to his advantage
to have the battery owner well sat
isfied. If man gets some valuable
suggestion which leads to a saving
of trouble and money he naturally
goes to the source of that informa-
tion when he needs repairs that cost
him money.
"This policy works out to the sat
isfaction of everybody concerned and
we have never had cause to regret
our adoption of it. We believe that
any far-seeing car owner also realiz-
es the wisdom of purchasing a good
reliable battery such as the Exide
and then having bis battery OCCASION
ally looked after by battery men who
thoroughly understand the battery
business. Mr.. Steele is also boost
ing for the Jacquet.
