EDITORIAL
THE RIGHT TO PRINT
POLICE NEWS

In declaring that newspaper
has the right to print police news
regarding the arrests of persons
suspected of being connected with
crimes and misdemeanors, a
United States circuit Judge in St.
Louis put into expression a con-
tention that was generally held
excepting perhaps by few indi-
Vlduals who get into the tolls of
the law and threaten all kinds of
dire destruction to the newspaper
If they dare to print their names
in connection with said crimes and
mlsdemeanors. Every newspaper
man has at some time or other
been confronted with such mis-
Guided persons who profess to be-
lieve that because they are the
possessors of certain names they
have the inalienable right to en-
join anyone else from using those
names in any connection whatso-
ever, police court news in particu-
lar. Those misguided persons gen
orally start out by attempting to
bully, then when they see the error
of their attack resort to proffers
of money and, that, too failing,
come down to earth and beg that
their names be left out of the pa
per. Now and then there are those
who continue their bullying tactics
and when they find their names in
print in connection with some I'M
satisfactory incident they go to
law about it as a Toronto man did
against the st. Louis Star. Fol
lowing out the charge of Judge
Grimm, the jury returned a ver-
dict in favor of the newspaper, ex
onerating it from the charge of
libel because it used the Toronto
mans name in check-forging
case, in which case, of course, the
Toronto man was exonerated, else
he would not have been bringing
the suit in question. The outcome
of the libel suit continues a pre-
cedent, does not establish one; it
determines that newspaper may
publish the fact that a certain man
has been arrested on a criminal
charge.-Bare Times.

gains were made by both sides.
Mcnamara made a long gain on
line plunge. The best work was
done by the Vocational School
during this quarter. The third per-
iod was a see-saw affair.
In the fourth period Lisbon pull
ed off a pretty forward pass, D.
Leavitt THROWING the ball to Coates
who caught the ball on the 10 yard
line Ga throw of 35 yards and ran
it over for the final touch down of
the game. Lisbon failed TO kick
the goal.
Lisbon brought into play the
aerial game frequently and it was
this feature that stood out, many
of the passes being successful.
Most of their gains were made in
this way.
The nearest the Vocational
School came to scoring was in the
fourth quarter when Hoar inter
cepted a forward pass and ran the
ball back about 35 yards, bringing
the pill to the II yard line. IN the
four downs the visitors brought
the ball to within a single yard of
the goal line, but the necessary
punch was absent and so Vocation
al was forced to return home
scoreless.
Refree Frost and every member
of the Lisbon outfit told Coach
Nelson that his team was the
cleanest that Lisbon has come up
against this season. The feeling
throughout the fracas was fine.
Vocational students have found a
warm spot in the hearts of Lisbon
fans and players.

1t is suggested that a comic

WARN STATE FRUIT
GROWERS AGAINST
CODDL|NG MOTH
PESTS ARE OUT EARLY AND
SPRAY DATES MUST BE
MOVED AHEAD

Final Spray against Cooling moths
pests capable of inflicting great dam
age on Michigan fruit, must be ap-
piled about three weeks ahead Of the
normal dates in order to be effective
this year, according to r. H. Petit,
head of the NJ. A. c. entomology de-
partment at Lansing. The moths
are emerging in the adult state weeks
ahead of schedule, reports from 13
observing stations over the state in
dicate, and action must be speeded
up.
Dates for spraying in various sec
tions have been computed by Petit
and sent out to county agricultural
agents. For the southern two tiers
of Michigan counties, the aptimum
date for the final spray of the season
against Codling Moth has been CIV
en- as just before July 20. Dates for
other sections of the state will vary
somewhat according to local condi-
tions.

Orleans Postoffice Robbed

When Postmaster Olmstead got
down to open up the post Office at
Orleans, Wednesday morning of last
week he discovered that a thief or
thieves had taken a pane of glass
out of one of the rear windows of
the postoffice and had made an effort
to rob the place. Owing to the fact
that the postoffice at Orleans had been
robbed several years ago and that
you can't sting the Orleans postmast-
er twice in the same place, he had
taken the money, stamps and other
valuabes home with him the night
before and therefore the would-be
robber got what old Mother Hubbard
got when she arrived at the fable
famed cupboard. A suspicious char
acter, wearing army leggings, was
noticed hanging around Orleans the
day before and it is supposed that
this is the individual responsible for
the job.

LOOK OUT FOR
IMPORTANT FISH,.
GAME LAW CHANGES
NEW PROVISIONS GOVERNING
TAKING OF FISH, ETC, GO
INTO EFFECT AUGUST 1S

A number Of important changes
in the state game and fish laws will
go into effect August 18, according TO
Deputy Warden Charles Waite for
Ionia County and fisherman and others
who are in the habit Of abiding by the
old laws, will be likely to find them
selves in trouble some of these days
unless they familiarize themselves
with the provisions of the new law.
Among the changes which have
been made are raising the size of
perch which may be caught, from
five to seven inches, while rock bass,
calico bass, crappies, ETC., must be
seven inches long in the future, in
stead of six inches as in the past.
The rabbit law has been changed
to allow of only seven rabbits being
shot in any one day and of only
twenty-five being taken in one season.

START PAVING
WASHINGTON ST.
WITH CONCRETE
GOOD PROGRESS is BEING
MADE BY WORKMEN AND
MIXING MACHINE

The paving of Washington street
with concrete was begun on Monday
morning by Contractor Ernest Chase
and a large gang of men and remark
able progress is being made, the start
having been at the intersection OF
Washington street and South Bridge
street, conecting with the brick pave
ment already in on the latter named
street and about a block of the new
pavement being laid as this is read by
our readers.
The new pavement is to be twenty
feet wide, stretch from Bridge street
TO Hall street, where Washington st.
enters the city park The curb is al
ready completed and the pavement,
with it's beautiful curved surface Will
be a fine thing when completed.
Some difference Of opinion has been
expressed over the fill in which the
street committee had made at the en-
trance to the city park. This is
high spot and several feet of dirt was
hauled on top of the street surface,
much to the displeasure of Mr.. A. y.
Belding, Donor of the park, library and
other gifts to the city, who owns some
lots on the north side of the street and
who claims them TO be rendered prac-
tically worthless through the eXces-
sive raising of the street at this point
Mr.. Belding has taken a keen inter
est in this, his old home city and in
addition to the many gifts which he
has made, he is planning still more
in this line, but does not feel as if
he and his interests had been consid-
cred in the least in the way the street
had been graded at the park entrance
Street committee officials however
told Mr.. Belding that the matter
would be remedied and the entrance
to the park fixed up all right.

SUNDAY RACES
DREW A PROTEST
BUT PREVAILED
BIG CROWD AT SPICER PARK
MAKES SUCCESS OF DRIV-
ING CLUB VENTURE

The races which the Belding Driv-
ing club planned to hold at Spicer
driving park were held as scheduled
in spite of the weather which threat
ened to spoil the game and to keep
the crowd away and against the pro-
test of the ministerial association who
opposed the holding of the races on
Sunday, with a petition to the city
commission, wherein they said that
the holding of the race was CONNER
cialized sport and a disgrace on the
good name and opposed to the best
morals of the people of this city.
The city commission took no ac-
tion other than accepting the COM
munication and placing it on file and
the races were held before a large
crowd of race lovers who came from
far and near, practically every town
or city for many miles around being
represented

NEW JUSTICE PASSES
OUT FIRST SENTENCES

Judge Maurice A. Reed, who was
solemnly inducted into Office as one
of the chef justices of this city on
July 5, has already disposed of sew
eral cases and from the start which
he has made it looks as if one had
better walk the straight and narrow
path in the future as in the past.
Sidney Gahleger, of Greenville, was
the first offender hailed before the
new justice and because Sid had
been driving an automobile while in
an intoxicated condition when ar
rested by SPECIAL Police Officer Cook
and to which he plead guilty, fine of
$50 and costs of $6.15 was assessed.
Gahleger claimed that he had just
been elected papa for the first time
through the birth of a son, and
therefore was celebrating a little when
caught.
Raymond Christensen was an
other offender, caught by Deputy
Sheriff Murray for speeding on
Bridge street and he was assessed a
fine and costs totalling $3.50.

ICE SHORTAGE
LOOMS CRITICAL
FOR BELO|NG
OTHER CITIES ALSO IN PREDIC.
AMENT BUT MANAGE
TO GET ALONG

The ice shortage which has been
talked of from time to time ever
since last winter when it became ap-
parent that the weather was not GO
ing to settle cold enough to freeze an
ice crop, has became so critical and
acute that unless some unforeseen
source of supply is brought out the
chances are that the people of this
city who have been fortunate enough
to get supply of ice thus far will
have TO so without from now on as
we understand the supply Of ice at
the local houses is just about exhaust
ed
One Of the meat markets has its
own supply of ice, which was cut at
Kiddville and hauled into town and
stored last winter, but the other mar
ket has been forced TO go to Ionia on
several occasions to get ice enough
to keep them going and the word has
come from the artificial ice plant
which was recently built at Ionia,
that they could furnish no more as
they had customers for their capacity
before Belding was heard from in the
matter of ice.
Other cities are in the same predic-
ament however. Portland has no ice
of its own and secures part of its
supply from Ionia. Grand Haven
and other towns are hauling ice from
as far from home as Flint, Cadillac
and other places.

Near Drowning At Park

A near fatality in the shape OF
drowning happened at the city park
in the river, just north of the water
works, Saturday evening at about
seven O'Clock when Ray Howe went
down for the second time and would
have went down for the third and
last time, had not Paul Wiersma
sensed the serious predicament which
the Howe boy was in and swan out
to assist him in to shore. The Howe
boy had started to swim across the
river and was making good progress
when he became frightened and called
for help. The boys on the pier thot
he was joking and paid no attention
to him at first, but when Wiersma no
ticed him go down for the second
time and then saw the bubbles COM
ing to the surface of the water, he
quickly swan out and grabbed the
drowning boy and started to shore
with him. A mother Roy, Clare Brooks
was also there ready TO help and be-
tween the two rescuers, they got him
to safety and later on he was sent
home.

BElDING WAS
ALL TO SPEEDY
FOR GREENv|[LE
LOCAL PLAYERS HAD EASY
PICKING WITH NEIGHBORS
IN SUNDAY GAME

The Belding Base Ball club gave
fine exhibition Of the great national
game last Sunday when they took
Greenville into camp by a score of
8 to /.
From local viewpoint it was a
dandy contest, featured by some Gle
yer fielding and heavy hitting. The
Belding boys took a brace in their
batting and bombarded pitcher Kerns
our former twirler for thirteen safe
drives. McKiddie lead the assault
with five clean hits, one of which
was good for home run. His field
ing as we as Maxwell's on short
was phenomenal. Henderson, our
new third sacker, looked good at the
bat, but his fielding was only ordin-
airy. He was playing out of his reg
ular position however and another
game or two he will undoubtedly show
why he was a star in the Southern
League two years ago.
Klock and Childs didn't have a put
out in the outfeld, something very
unusual, and shows the class of ball
that Sauers was pitching. Bill Sim
ons is improving in every game and
VI woulunt be surprising to see him
in some pretty fast company before
the end of the season.
Nick Miller suffered a dislocated
finger in the third inning, but finish
ed the game after being attended by
DR.. Moffit.
A large crowd witnessed the game
and aside from delegation of the
Greenville fans, everybody seemed
happy after the game.
Little umpired and not the slight
est objection was made to any of his
decisions. Tom aims to give the Wis
itors a square deal and that helps to
make games good. When we win we
want to win right.
The game by inning:
GreenVille O o 0 O 0 o 0-1
Belding L 102 2 d 2 0-S
Batteries: Kerns and Howell; Sauer
and Simons. ~
Next Sunday the Rockford Inde-
pendents are booked for a game at
Leonard Park, Earlier in the season,
Belding defeated them on their own
grounds in a very close game. Man
ager Hyde writes that his lineup is
greatly strengthened since then and
is confident of giving us neat lit
line triming, but with the locals go
ing the pace they are now, there is
a slight doubt in our minds about
Z heir plans being carried out. A big
crowd will accompany the team here.
The game will start at 8 o'clock. Ad-'
mission 35 cents. Don't fail to be
there. The boys need your support
at the game as well as the gate.
Next Saturday, July 23rd the club
goes to Coral to play. Anyone MAX
ing the trip and wishing to carry
some Of the players will kindly notify
the manager at once.
