JUSTICE THREW CASE
OUT OF CO u RT

Deputy Game Warden Charles
Waite got telephone call from JUS
tice Gates at Saranac, Wednesday
night and was told that he was want
ed in that village on Thursday to
answer to a charge of violating the
parking ordinance which the village
has as local law.
Mr.. Waite, in company with Depu-
ty Warden Chas Petit, of Stanton
and w. P. Hetherington, of this city
who went along prepared to furnish
bonds, went over to Saranac Thurs
day and appeared before Justice
Gates and the charge was read
against him. 1t was so evident that
the case was born of a malicious in
tent on the part of certain of the
lower element Of Saranac that the
deputy decided 10 fight the case,
whereupon, the fellows who were to
substantiate the charges against the
officer, who had committed no great
er wrong than perhaps slight in
fraction of the traffic rules of viii
lage. and that in the performance of
his duty as a state official, decided
to withdraw the complaint and the
justice threw the case out of court.
Both Deputies Waite and Petit
claim that the work was on account
of the activities of Mr.. Waite in
apprehending fish law violators in
Saranac, but that the better people
Of the village stand behind them in
their work.

So its been through the years to-
gether,
Through laughter, and grief and
pain,
We have plucked from each boun-
tiful harvest
A few golden sheaves of grain.
Until we are standing at last by
the river,
Just across from the promised land
And like happy, careless children,
We enter it hand in hand.
Our shoulders have bowed with
burdens,
Our footsteps are feeble and slow,
The lustre has gone from our
tresses,
II is now like the drifted snow.
Perhaps in our trouble and svorrow
We have failed to quite understand
But all has been quickly forgotten
When clasped with a baby's hand.
While the music and joyous laugh
ter
From the land where the angels
dwell,
Seem but a faint sweet echo,
OF golden wedding bells.
Mrs. d. w. Greenwalt.

THINK WASHERS
IN POSSESSION
OF STOLEN CAR
FINED FOR ACCOSTING WOMEN
BUT ARE ORDERED TO HOLD
CAR FOR INVESTIGATION

Two men, Howard Williams and
Frank Brown, of Grand Rapids,
were arrested by officers Cook and
Antcliff, Sunday night after they had
accosted some girls on the long walk
this side of the Belrockton boarding
house and were taken to the city jail
where they were held and later on in
Justice Reeds court, plead guilty TO
accosting women on the street and
paid fines of $5 and costs. totalling
$8.65 each.
The actions of the two men when
caught made the officers believe that
the car which they had with them
was a stolen car and they were quiz
zed in the matter. 10 is undoubtedly
true that they came by the car hon
estly, as the investigation being made
has disclosed this, but few trans
actions back, il seems, from present
Indications that the car was stolen
from Detroit and may be returned
to its owners there IL the idea which
the local officers and the Grand Rap
ids police are working out, proves
all right.
The men were released on pay
ment Of their fines but promised
that they would not dispose of the
car and gave their address so that
they can be found at any time they
are wanted.

The Belding Building and Loan
Association has been doing business
for over 32 years, and is a very we'll
managed institution It's directors
are composed of representative men
of this city According to the last
annual report it shows assets Of
$176,866.44. The Association has
been a very important factor in this
continuity in en- bling people to
build or buy homes that are already
built on the easy monthly payment
plan and at the present time they
are having good demand for loans.
Those who are looking for an ex-
ceptiona tly safe and profitable in-
vestment will find the Belding Build
ing and Loan Association, which is
a mutual cooperative institution, a
very good place to deposit their saw
ings.
In order to meet the growing de-
mand of borrowers for loans on their
homes, the Association in addition to
issuing the regular monthly INSTALL
ment stock. is offering for sale linn
tied amount of advance paid shares
at 800 per share which draws in
terest at the rate Of per cent per
annum. The splendid thing about
this stock is that it can ordinarily be
withdrawn at any time without any
discount together with the accumu-
lated interest if left for 8 monhs or
longer.
If more people would become de-
positors in this Association it would
enable more people of this city to
! become home owners. which would
help very materially to make a big
ger and better Belding. The man who
owns his own home is usually a much
better satisfied resident than the man
who rents and he takes a more vital
interest in the welfare of the city.
