to cause favorable comment by the
feasters. Reports from the district
association of churches, recently held
in Lansing. were made by J. M. Tho
mas, and Rev. w. J. Rookie, who were

of the doings there and of the op-
timistic out look for greater Christian
activity in Congregationalism was
very instructive and inspiring.

STAFF CANDLES
WITH DEATH AND
AMERICAN SPEED
CABLEGRAM WARNS OF PLIGHT
OF THOUSANDS STARVING
AT RELIEF GATES

Near East Relief has the following
cablegram from Capt +. A. Iarrow
field director for the Caucasus dis
trict with headquarters at Tifiis:
American government sent repre-
sentative to Tifiis to announce gov
ernment is at end of its resources for
relief. T his applies TO whatever gov
ernmental forces are functioning in
Armenia. Breakdown is economic,
not political, and must be faced as
fact. Fifty thousand refugees now

zin, Delijan, in starving condition;
authorities admit are powerless to
longer carry on their own very linn
tied child-feeding efforts. In this
resperate situation Armenia asks OF
Near East Relief two things: First
get 10000 tons Of -four into Caucasus
by first of December. or witness
wholesale death remainder popula-
ton by starvation. Second, empty
our orphanages' thirty y-day reserve
bins TO give some small ration to
multituies crouching dumbly out
side orphanage gates, large portion
children, trusting TO American far
mers to rush flour for refilling bins.
This is stalking Near East Relief's
responsibility for lives of scores CT
thousands of housed orphans this
winter, against willingness of Amer
lean people to preserve from death
what is left Of Armenian population.
After staff consultation. we readily
take that chance, and will. But unless
America stands by, sends restock-
ment supplies, our orphans must pay
If Armenia succumbs, all our work
here for last five years is meaning
less. Will you answer with 10000
tons by December first?
(Signed1 "Ysrrow."
Commenting on Capt. Yarrow's
message. an official of Near East Re-
lief made this statement:
"Near East Relief's staff officials
in the Caucasus field have simply de-
cided to make a gamble with death
that one-fifteenth of the 100000
bushels of bread grains now being
appealed for and contributed thru
out the United States will arrive at
Constantinople in time to be trans
ported into the interior by the day
when the emptied orphanage supply
bins must be refilled if the 175,000
children within the orphanage walls
are TO go on eating their carefully
measured daily portion.
"It is a gamble that bespeaks the
American field mems faith in the
quickness to act-the snap-into-it
quality, if you like-of their country
men on this side 1t takes six weeks
to transport cargo from our Allan
tic coast to Constantinople; thence
the freight must go inland So
there is no time to lose, If the Amer
ican staff is to win its grim wager

ACCIDENT BRINGS
BUNCH OF TROUBLE
FOR CAR OWNER
"ONE WOE UPON ANOTHER'S
HEELS DOTH TREAD SO
FAST THEY FOLLOW"

When the car owned by AL. Blasser
and driven by Earl Collier and con-
tanning the two men ran ahead of a
car owned by Clyde Byrne, of West
Otisco at the main crossing at Smyr-
ma, on Sunday, September Is, the in
cident started a round of trouble for
Blasser, the outcome of which is but
guess-work. Blasser undoubtedly
hopes that the trouble is nearly over
while it looks as if his creditors are
just about starting in with their ac-
tivities.
The case between Byrne and Bias
ser and Collier came to trial before
Justice Reed last Friday and the
court found in favor of the plaintiff
allowing him $33 damages and charg
ing Blasser $500 court costs. Bias
ser paid the amount and appealed
the case to the circuit court, giving
a bond in the amount of 500 with
Will DeVlieger and Carol Spicer as
sureties. Fred Warner was attorney
for Byrne and Ray "A. Colwell, of
Ionia, represented Collier and Bias
ser.
Immediately after the case Byrne
secured an attachment and took the
DldSSeT car as StCuIlly lot his udIi-
ages. This was released. however,
when the defendant paid the court
costs, damages and put up the bond

awaiting the outcome of the case
which has been set for Tuesday, Oc-
tober %, in Justice Reeds court.
Another attachment proceedings
against the Blasser car was started
shortly before noon today by Homer
Unger, proprietor of another garage
in this city, who claims that Blassei
owes him a bill for repairs, etc.
which has never been paid and he has
taken the attachment route for col

THINK JAKE SMITH
HAD BEEN DRINKING

City police and court ofilcials are
of the opinion that Jake smith,
Lithuanian of Grand Rapbes who has
been working for numerous farmers
over in the Parnell district, had been
imbibing of strong spirits somewhat
freely, Sunday, and that this was re-
sponsible for the condition which he
was found i'm when his automobile,
after careening wildly around in the
road in the west part OF the city,
tipped over ana injured Miss Mary
Malone, who with her father, John
Malone and brother. were riding IN
the car with Smith, Sunday after
noon, while returning TO their homes
west of town. The accident happened
near the Carroll Spicer home on the
state road.
Police Officer Cook was called to
the scene and went out. He found
Smith acting as if he had been drink
ing to excess and took him into GUS
tody and placed him in the city jail.
Monday morning, Smith was ar.
raigned before Justice Reed and was
charged with driving an auto while
intoxicated. He plead not guilty and
was remanded to jail because he was
unable to give bond in the amount
of 5000. Later on in the day, Malone
appeared and went on the bond and
Smith was released to appear on Fri
day of this week for further examin-
alton.
Smith stated that he was unable to
tell where he obtained his liquor,
other than to say that he had been
given two drinks by party of hunt
ers and when he was taken in the
south end of the city where he is
supposed to have met the hunters and
entered house where the drinks were
serve, he was unable to recognize
/ the place. The officers have fairly
good idea of where the drinking oc-
Cured and will have an eye on the
occupants from now on.
Smiths car was so badly damaged
| that Justice Reed refused to take il
as security for 5000 bond when its
owner offered the machine for the
purpose of gaining his free'om

Sheriff Hoppough received a call
from Jackson that the lady was IN

Shortly afterward, the woman call

wanted to know if the sheriff could
give her any information as to the
whereabouts of her divorced husband
and he went Gown TO get her. There

"Fads and Fancies" the O. E. >.
revue at the Beloing Opera House,
isn't what you think it is at all. II
is not one of those tiresome, bore
some, never-ending smile-your- away
thru-it home talent affairs.
You don't have to sit back close
to the cushion and try to console
yourself with the thought that such
events happen along only once in
great while and that in order to help
a good cause you might grin and
bear it. Nothing like it!
"F'ads and Fancies" is snappy
sparkling, spirited and slick. You
can look this one over without 1eg-
istering 4 menta' kick or trying to
suppress yawn or being overcome
win tire feeling that you are being
deprived of your much needed beauty
sleep. A two-night run of ''Fads and
F'ancies" you'll find, means more To
you than the heavily played up
Broadway endorsements.
You'll like 'em all, you'll enjoy the
work of every member of the local
troupe, you'll laugh with George
James and Alvin Storey, who have a
line of patter that is really funny;
you are certain to find yourself ap-
plauding the work of Louise Wilson
and Dorothy Brown, the dancing
gals" You'll understand why CAL
li-Curc failed to draw any larger
crowd from Belding when you hear
Elizabeth Raynor and Marjorie Whe-
Ian, with their girly-girly choruses.
And the members of said choruses
can sing-they are twice las good
looking as any Broadway groupe and
wear some mighty nifty changes of
4 costumes.
The revue opens with Elizabeth
4 Raynor and ballet surprised by the
arrival of Don Cook on the Planet
Tenus,-man never having set foot
on this globe before.
Then comes the fadish chorus tell
ing you they are "Nobody's baby"
and you begin to find yourself won
dering who gave 'em that notion and
wishing they'd encourage you just a
bit so you might report at roll call.
Spencer Smith with his Holiday
Girls is going to make you go home
and watch the red dates on the black

G. r. WHOLESALERS
FINISH TRIP HERE

The Grand Rapids wholesalers
party, about 100 strong, arrived on
their special train, Friday afternoon
shortly before five o'clock and mingl-
ed among their customers, the re-
tailers ami others, not to take orders
for merchandise but for the pur-
pose of letting the local men know
that Grand Rapids was still on the
map and that when it came to plac-
ing orders-why of course, Grand
Rapi1s was the logical place and its
business houses the logical and only
places TO put the orders. Why not,
when Grand Rapids men always stand
ready to use you just little better
than others in other cities and when
you can get the goods within a few
hours of the time that you placed
your order.
They brought band with them
and they followed the band up town,
where the populace stood around and
drank in the music which the band
furnished There was some party to
welcome the wholesalers, more peo-
pie having turned out here than at
any other town in the four days
cruise over the western part of the
state.
The wholesalers brought lot of
novelties and trinkets with them and
these were passed out and it was not
long after the distribution started
that the air was full of toy balloons.
airplanes. kraZy gliders and other
toys.
After the march up town, the mem
bers of the party put in their time
calling on their customers, old ac-
quaintances, friends, etc, and after
nearly two hours well and enlpyably
spent in Belding, they boarded their
train on the last lap of the trip, to
be welcomed home by waiting families
and friends.
Mr.. George A. Murphy, who handl-
ed the publicity end of the trade tour
with whom we talked, stated that IT
had been a wonderful success and
that the wholesalers had been royalty
received at every town where they
had stopped
