TO RAISE MORE
THAN $4,000
FOR CHURCH WORK
PROTESTANT CHURCHES START
COLOSSAL WORK WITH A
\ SILENT PRAYER PERIOD

After several weeks careful prep
aration, the local Protestant churches
cooperating in the Interchurch World
Movement will begin on Sunday their
canvas for the financial ingathering.
The, goal set for this community's
united church bodies is not definitely
determined. The nation over, a sum
almost comparable to the Liberty
Loans is being sought for the COM
bined programs of home missions,
foreign missions, ministerial pen>
sions, religious education, and world
wide religious activities. The total
is $336,777,5 ,572 and this is said to be
the only time in which the church
has asked not for a sum which it
thought it could conveniently raise
but for an amount which would meet
its actual needs.
According to national arrange
ments, the campaign will open Sum
day, April 25 at 2 p. m. with a mo-
ment of silent prayer. The national
denominations have asked their COM
municants to pause in whatever they
are doing, and to engage for brief
space in silent prayer for the success
of a worldwide campaign of Chris
IidulLdIlOH lie CdtlNdSS ClOStS way
2.
In this community there are five
churches cooperating, the Methodist,
Baptist, Church of Christ, Free Meth
odist and Congregational.
The canvass will be most active
among church members who will be
approached by workers from their
own denomination. But, in recogni-
tion Of the community Importance of
such a movement of cooperative
Christianity as the campaign pre-
sents, a selected list of non-church
members also will be approached, and
if they are sympathetic with the gen.
eral cause will be asked to contri-
butte.
The Baptist church launches a
financial drive of its own simultane-
ously with that of the interchurch
drive. Mrs. Will Wilson is campaign
director and as captains of various
drive teams she has with her the
following: Mrs. M. L. Osterhout,
Percy Hanks, A. C. Layer, L. M. Ber-
ry and Zenas Dow

RENCHA is THE KIND
WE REGRET TO LOSE

VIM. Renscha, who came here from
Muskegon, a year ago to take posi-
ton in the bort factory, left here on
Monday forenoon for Muskegon to
take up his old job. Mr.. Rencha
said when leaving, that he never had
been in city that he liked so well
to live in and hated so much to leave
as Belding and that he held the dir
ectly opposite view regarding Mus
kegon-he hated to live there and
was always glad to get away. Mr.
Renscha is the kind of citizen we
regret to lose. One of his first acts
after getting moved here a year ago
was to subscribe for the Banner
News. stating at the time that he
considered it the duty of every per-
son living in city to be subscrib-
ed to its paper and that while he
considered it duty he also consider,
ed it a good investment both finan-
cially and in helping him to get ac-
quainted with the people and the city
in general. Another thing he did
Just as soon as he could after arriv>
ing here was to purchase his home,
in which he has taken a world of
pride in keeping it in ship-shape un.
der at all times. His praise of the

especially his fellow employees in the

GIRL OF WEALTHY
PALACE SEEKS HER
ROMANCE IN ALLEY
MARY PICKFORD IN THE HUD-
LUM" HAS GREATEST ROLE
OF HER ENTIRE CAREER

A comedy-romance with accent on
the comedy, is "The Hoodlum," Mary
Pickford's second production from
her own studios which will begin an
extended engagement at the Empress
Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday,
April 28 and 29.
AS Amy Burke, overburdened with
money and luxury as a granddaugh-
ter of the millionaire Alexander
Guthrie, Miss Pickford's station in
life suddenly switches to that Of the
tenements where she is temporarily
located with her father while he
writes a book on sociology.
Acquiring the knack of becoming a
rowdy comes easy for Miss Pickford.
In a few weeks she has developed
Bowery walk of acute swagger, an
assortment Of clothing which makes
all the nifty Cheighten Street girls
wild with envy, and knowledge of
slang that would make her Fifth Av-
enue tutor weep.
Among Amy's acquaintances in the
tenements are Dish Lowry a little
chap with snaggle teeth and ingrown
manners, and Peter Cooper, an old
man who serves as the connecting
link that brings the Burke family to-
gether in one happy assembly.

LET US REFRAIN FROM
STARTING OVERALL CLUB

Someone has suggested that an
Overall Club such as are raging as
fad in many cities throughout the
country at present, be organized
here. Don't you do it. We have no
desire to knock anyones business but
this overall club" business is a
scheme of the overall manufacturers
of the country and the more overall
clubs you organize the higher will
the prices of overalls go. Fristoe
& Rummler, our clothiers have
an overall advertisement in this
issue of the Banner-News and their
adv. inspired the writer to pen this
article. We do not want to kill the
effect of the clothing firms adv. but
we want to warn against the forma-
tion of an overall club in this city,
on the ground that it will only help
to shove prices on overalls up still
higher and higher until they get to
where the laborer who really needs
overalls as a necessity will have to
wear his Sunday clothes because the
price of pair of overalls is prepos-
ferrous and out of reason. Mr.. Fris-
toe lays that overalls which in the
good old days sold at around $500
per dozen wholesale are now bringing
$34.00 and up. His retail prices
range from s2.35 for the standard
grade and $500 for a higher grade
article. The prices, which Mr..
Fristoe is in no way to blame for are
out of all proportion to the cost Of
raw material. labor, etc, and are be-
ing stimulated and raised constantly
by the formation of overall clubs"
all over the country by paid agents
of the overall trust.
Let's not start club here.

JURY FINDS THAT
WARREN UTTER is
GUILTY OF MURDER
REACH DECISION AFTER NINE
HOURS OF DELIBERATION
DESPITE EVIDENCE

The jury in the Smarry murder
case in which Warren Utter, one of
the three men who had been convict
ed more than a year ago and had
been granted new trial at lonia last
week, brought in their verdict on
Tuesday afternoon and announced
that they had found the respondent
guilty.
Just how under the sun a man
could tage his oath and sit on jury
and hear the evidence in the Utter
case, consider the judges charge and
then think for a minute that the de-
fendant was otherwise than guilty
is inconcivable, yet on the first bal
lot three of the twelve jurors voted
for acquittal. On the second ballot
one of them came over with the 9TH
er original nine for conviction. The
ballots from that time until the final
one stood ten for conviction and two
for acquital. At three o'clock the
jury came in and announced that they
had agreed upon their verdict. Pat
Costello of this city was one OF the
jurymen in the case.
Utter was brought into court and
accompanying him was his wife, his
z year old daughter, who clung to
her fathers neck all the time, and
his father and two brothers. A gasp
was heard throughout the court room
as the fatal wort, "Guilty" came
from the foreman's lips and short
time later Judge Davis ordered Ut
ter before him for sentence. When
askd if he had anything further to
say in his behalf Utter defiantly
stated "There is nothing that / could
say which would do me any good in
this court" Judge Davis then SEN
fenced him to Marquette prison for
the remainder of his natural life at
hard labor and within few minutes
more the papers committing him to
jail for life were made out and ev-
erything was over except the parting
of Utter and his relatives.
Sheriff Hoppough and Deputy.
Kirsheman of Ionia, went through
this CITY this wednesday, morning
on the first train and with them were
the two ward brothers, Charles and
Edward and Warren Utter, on their
way to Marquette prison for life.
Charlew Wards wife accompanied
him on his trip as far as this city.
The men secured $151 when they
attacked and robbed John Smarry,
of Ionia, in November 1918 and di-
vided it equally amongst themselves
For this they got the stiff life SEN
tences.

OPENS SERVICE GARAGE
IN M0SElY DISTRICT

Bruce Pickard, we'll known local
young man, has rented the K. b.
Davis building at Moseley and has
opened up an automobile garage and
service station for the convenience Of
the public, starting in on the venture
last week.
Mr.. Pickard has a number of years
of garage work to his credit as a
worksman, a part of which was spent
in the government service on just the
class of work which he is now en-
gagged in and he will undoubtedly
make a success of the new business
and at the same time give to the
travelling public and the people in
and around Moseley quick and sure
way out of their motor troubles
which keep coming up from time to
time.
We wish him success in his new
line of endeavor.

LOCAL MACHINE
COMPANY CLOSES
Up IT'S AFFAIRS
STOCKHOLDERS RECEIVE TEN
PERCENT OF MONEY ORIG
INALLY INVESTED

The death knell has sounded for
the Belding Machine Company-in
fact, the obsequies have been finish
ed and the remains Of what was once
gloriously painted and propounded
as likely to be one of the great bus
inesses and industrial concerns of
this city have been consigned to the
graveyard where rest so many ill
fated or mismanaged concerns which
have gone before.
Not that we mean to infer that
the Belding Machine Co., was mis-
managed, but there was a screw
loose somewhere and the calculations
made seemed to fall short with the
result that more money was spent
than was taken in. With this fact,
the concerns days were numbered
and it soon went to the wall. It's
officers and managers were men Of
honor however and every dollar of
Indebtedness was paid before the A.
nal settlement was made last week
and last and only dividend of ten
per cent was declared and the stock
holders received checks this week for
one-tenth of the amounts which they
originally invested in the concern.
A balance Of approximately $50 which
was left over will be turned over to
the Belding Hospital Association.
The Belding Machine Company
was originally organized to carry on
general machine shop business, at
the start it had bright prospects of
being a success and a large volume
of business was done on which good
profit was realized. A war work
contract was entered into with the
government and this seems to have
been too much for the company's
delicate constitution to stand and in
the period of time which followed the
taking over of the company's war
contract, fate launched one hard
bump after another and the sponge
was eventually thrown into the ring
and the big air castle tumbled, taking
with it the cash invested by its many
stockholders.
Numerous efforts were made by
the stockholders and board of dir
ectors to get some other concern to
take the business and go ahead with
it but nothing was accomplished in
this line and the decision to dissolve
was finally decided upon.
