Mr.. e.. ID. Engemann,
Belding, Mich.
Dear friend:--

the public schools of your city, es-
pecially the boys in athletics. The
boys are to be complimented on their
athletic record this fall in foot ball.
The same can be said Of the coaches.
You will be pleased, / know, when
/ say that everything is superfine
with me here this year. In fact it
is 100 per cent better than at Bel
ding, as far as ! am concerned. We
have a large and well built school
containing a Domestic science, large
gymn, and an assembly accomodat-
ing some 225 students in single
seats. Just the things / pointed out
last year as the things Belding
shoul1 acquire soon. / am not con-
nected with athletics except as ath.
letic manager. We have two other
men who are coaches, and another
fellow who cares for gymn classes
All the men on the faculty, save one
are ex-service men. One of them
holds decoration for bravery from
the French government.
am going home Friday for Xmas
In the meantime, allow me to wish
you and my friends in Belding a
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

Cut Out That Profanity
Editor Banner-News:
One of the fragrant
evils demorahzfng the nation, inn
pairing the morale Of social life and
casting its pernicious influence on
the youth of our Land. permeating
the boys and girls who are TO be it's
future guardians and protector with
a habit that is extremely disgusting
vicious and undignifed in the use of
profane language.
There are people who use swear
words in common conversation that
roll from their lips as glibly as wa
ter from a ducks back.
Undoubtedly, the habit was form.
e. in youth and no restraint used to
curb or eliminate it until now it has
become a sort of second nature and
the oath escapes without a thought
of its badness. The use of profane
language, the daming of everybody
and everything uphill and down and
the cursing of an inanimate object
should you stub your toe or bump
your head against it is vicious in the
extreme an never gets anybody any
where except on the road to perdi-
ton. The law books of Michigan
are against profanity, the Bible is
against it and every red blooded
American man, woman girl and boy
should put their seal cf disapproval
upon il. Every bar-room, hotel Off
CO. billiard parlor, barber shop, ga
rage. restaurant and business place
shoul1 put I'D a conspicuous display
motto: "Cut out that profanity, if
you must swear, do it in low breath.
The beginning Of the new year is
a good time to make new resolutions
and swear off.

n o B / l. ] t :
By Alice Cary

True worth is in being, not seeming
In doing each day that goes by
Some htt.e good-not in dreaming
OF great things 10 co by and by.
For whatever men say in their
blindness,
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feet right
Nor can we give pain and gain
pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for robin and wren;
But always the path that is narrow
And straight, for the children of
men.
'Tis not in the pages of story
The heart of its ills to beguile,
Though he who makes courtship to
Gives al that he hath for her
smile.
For when from her heights he has
won her,
That nothing's so sacred as humor,
AM nothing so loyal as love!
We cannot make bargains for bisses
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And sometimes the thing our life
misses,
Helps more than the thing which
it gets.
For good lieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining of great nor of small,
But just in the doing; and doing
As we would be done by, is all
Thru envy, thru malice thru hating,
Against the world early and late,
No jot of our courage abating-
Our part is to work and TO wait,
And slight is the sting Of his trouble
Whose winnings are Jess than his
worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.

herself, in the absence of her parents,
and, though the police suspected sui
eide, her father insisted the shooting
was accidental. 1t was while visiting
her grave in Harleigh Cemetery, Cam
den, that Stout says the daughter ap-
peared before him and told him to
go TO see Edwin" and she had several
times tried to induce him to tell the
truth.
Mr.. Stout later found letters from
King among his daughters effects, in
one OF which he had written that he
could wait no longer, and suggesting an
elOpement to Elkton. The young man
will be given hearing ny the coroner
He is known to have been with the
girl late In the afternoon of the day

While the fire was brought under

Che work OF the reScuers was made

EUROPE WILL OWE
u. s. 20 BILLIONS
DEBT Will Reach Tfat Figure By
1924, Says Economist.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Europe's
debt to the United States will be In.
creased to $4,000, 600, 900 by 1924.
George F. Warren, professor Of eco
nomics at Cornell University, so de-
ciared at tariff revision hearings BY
the house ways and means committee.
This sum, he said, will include the
p,6O0,000,OO0 war time borrowings
from the American treasury.
Mr.. Warren estimated European
business now owed American firms
nearly s4,O00,Oo0.OOO. He said Eu-
rope must send her products to this
country irrespective Of import duties
He especially urged tariffs on farm
products which he said could be turn
ed out cheaper overseas than here.
Giving his opinion the rate Of ex-
change would not improve for some
time witness said the rate would tend
to increase the European debt. The
danger in the situation, he said, was
the countries deeply In debt might re-
sort to dumping their commodities in
the United States markets regardless
of price.
