BINGHAM SCHOOL NOTES

We have thirty-nine pupils en-
rolled.
Russell Newman is in st. Joseph
hospital. He was operated on for
appendicitis last Saturday. We miss
Russell very much.
School was closed for two days ow-
ing to the illness of little Vernal
Morningstar.
Robert Covert, Charles Fuller,
Johnnie Dobransky, Charlie Sabo, Lu-
cile Montague are beginners in school
this fall
While the first and second grades
were going home from school Mon
day afternoon, little Frank Stovonco
was hit by an automobile driven by
Homer Allen, jitney, driver Of
Flint. He received several minor in
juries about the head. Mr.. Allen
stopped Immediately and carried the
little fellow to a nearby farm house
and summoned a doctor. We were
very sorry to have such an accident
occur but we could not blame the
driver of the jitney in any way and
feel he did everything possible TO
prevent it as well all that could be
done after the accident occurred. It
should be an object lesson to all chill
dren to stay on the side of the road
and not try to dodge cars.
Julia Sabo was absent a few days
last week on account of sickness.

EMERGENCY BOARD ASKS
FARMER SUPPORT

First of the States 83 counties to
answer the appeal of Near East Re-
lief's Emergency Grain Board for
100000 bushels of grain, or its equiv
alent, for the starving children of
Armenia and neighboring lands is
Berrien. Individually the honor rests
with j. Hoven, manager of the Three
Oaks Shipping Association, who has
enclosed to James j. Spillane, State
Director, his personal check for $25,
in letter in which he says, in part /:
81 happen to know what it is to need
help, though only in a small way. /
was injured in an accident more than
three years ago, and my life was des-
paired of; no one thought / would
ever walk again. But l am able to
make myself useful.
81 shall cause the Near East Re-
lief posters to be displayed; and any
thing can do toward this success of
the cause l will gladly do"
In his generous desire to assist
humanity, Mr.. Hoven has given "out
of his turn" The Emergency boards
appeal for 100000 bushels of corn
and wheat, or equivalent in other
commodity or cash, as Michigan's
share in the country's gift of 5,0OO,-
600 bushels, is directed exclusively
to the farmers of the State, who thus
for the first time are asked to help
Armenia bear her fearful burden OF
oppression, starvation and death.
When this grain has been given, and
gathered to shipside for immediate
transportation to Asia, the annual
campaign for money will be opened
in the towns and cities, and for the
fourth consecutive year they will
respond. In this second campaign of
1921, which will begin early in No
vember, the farmers will not be asked
to take any part; they already will
have fulfilled their obligation.
Monday, October 3, in the IS
counties of the State the Emergency
Grain Board will cause its county
organizations to be perfected in this
way: There will be meeting in each
county attended by designated rep
resentatives of the State Farm Bur-
eau, The Cleaners, the State Grange
and the Michigan Association of
Farmers Clubs, and the County Farm
Agent, the latter acting as temporary
chairman. This body will perma-
nently organize by electing a chair
man, secretary and treasurer, and
will announce officially the county's
quota of grain or its equivalent.
Immediately after the meeting the
work of pledging farmers individual
ly to the giving of definite guam
tity of corn, or wheat, or other COM
modify, or money with which to pur-
chase grain, will be begun. The un-
dertaking must be concluded by No
vember 1.

We have received a letter from
our young friend, Earl J. McCrady,
telling us that he recently accepted
the position of principal in the Owos-
so Business College and he, his estim-
able wife and small daughter are now
residing in that progressive city. The
position, we should conclude, is res
ponsible and desirable and we can
think no one on whom it could have
been more worthily bestowed. Earl
has had the training and the actual
business experience requisite to make
him first-class man for such situa-
tion and we hope and believe that he
will be eminently successful.

Are You LOYAL?

During the war we heard much
about loyalty. The man who was not
out and out for his country was
looked upon with suspicion. The
man who is not whole-heartedly for
home and family and for the institu-
tions safeguarding them is also re-
garded as disloyal. Your attendance
at Church is an expression of loyalty.
