be served with ice cream or jellied
desserts, because they are too rich.
An important thing 10 consider in

The baking pans must always be

ADA ONCE ASPIRED
TO BE METROPOLIS
Michigan Pioneers Built Great
Hotel as Monument
Many Years Ago.

GRAND RAPIDS, Aug. % - A
huge strawstack. an excavation par
tiaally filed in, a few rocks and four
large maple trees mark the site near
Ada which the pioneers of western
Michigan believed would become the
metropolis OF western Michigan.
The site was definitely located re-
Gently at a gathering of pioneers
who related the story how General"
Solomon WithdE. losing faith in the
village of Grand Rapids, went TO
Ada and erected a huge hotel on the
site.
It seems General Whitney was
one of the first sheriffs OF this ter
ritory Besides running the Jail. he
was also proprietor Of a hotel on
what is now Grand Rapids / west
side. He decided. however, that
Ada. a thriving little village. was
the town with future in this sec
ton. 80 when his term as sheriff ex-
PRED. he went there after selling his
Grand Rapids hotel.
He built a big log tavern near the
present site OF Ada. This place was
the center for many years for the
social life Of the district. Sleighing
parties Of Grand Rapids folk often
visited it. Because il was on the
direct routs from Grand Rapids TO
Detroit. when the 1S-mile trip from
this city 20 Ada was considered a
good days trip with an OK team, It
was the night stopping place for
carriers and many a grand dance
and many a tragic feat were staged
within it's walls.
But the h0-el business gradually
declined as Grand Rapids took the
place in western Nichigan's indus
trial and commercial affairs and >ee
tavern fell into ruins. Many Of
Ada's present residents did not even
know II had ever existed.

JOHN HATTINCS
 REPORTED DEAD
Former Local Lieutenant Re
 ported Killed in France

Considerable interest has been aroused concerning the notice in both morning and evening newspapers re- lating to the death of John r. Hat tings of 10S Arch street, reported to have been killed while serving with the Canadian forces at the battle of Amiens, France.
 Deserted Family.
 Ratings was lieutenant in Co. F., 1st Conn. Inf, one of the local militia companies and was living with his wife and five children on Arch street. He disappeared suddenly from the city about years ago, shortly after the death of Captain Ladbury who was then in charge of Co, 1. His wife or family never knew what be- came of him nor had they any knowl- edge of his whereabouts and no word has been received from him since the | desertion.
 A representative of The Herald in terviewed Mrs. Ratings on the matter this morning and she, though she has had no direct knowledge of her hus- bands whereabouts. explains the death notice in the following manner:
 Son Meets Acuua in,ancc.
 Her oldest son enlisted in the |. s. Navy short time ago and was sta toned at the submarine base in New London. He arrived home on q fur tough for the Christmas holidays and told his mother that he mad met a man at the base who told him that he had met his father in the Canadian forces overseas. This man, whose name Mrs. Hattings does not know, claims that he was q lieutenant in the 24th Battalion Victoria Rifles of Can ada and John F., Hattings was the major in charge. He said that he learned from Hattings himself that his home was in this city and that he had left a wife and five children be hind him. HattinGs, he said, was killed in the battle of Amiens in France.
 No Official Notice.
 Mrs. Hattings could not vouch for the veracity of the story because she has had no official notice of the death of her husband and she would not expect any, she says, because she do,.ta't think that her husband would en It under his own name. How eveE if the story that the son brought home is to be believed, and Ntherc doesn't seem to be any reason why the man who claims to have associat- ed with Ratings in Fran ce would tell such story unless it were true. Ratings died in battle.
