Please Return Those Glasses

Last week we carried lost notice
in our classified department wherein
it was stated that a pair of child's
glasses had been lost and that they
should be returned to this office,
where reward would be given to
the finder. To date these glasses
have not been received, although it
is known that a young boy in this
city picked them up and has not re-
turned them. The glasses were a
pair which Bruce Knight was to wear
temporarily for about three weeks
and after which time he was to get
a permanent pair. These glasses are
absolutely worthless to anyone who
might happen to have them and if
they will do the right thing and bring
them back to this Office, no questions
will be asked and a reward will be
given. / on the other hand the par
ty must be hunted up, the eonsequen-
ces might be different.

PASTOR TAKES
A BIG CHANCE
ON HIS SALARY
ST. LOUIS CHURCH PLACES BAN
ON SOCIETIES AND FL
NANCIAL DRIVES

Owing to the unusualness of the
action of the minister and congrepa-
ton OF the Church of Christ. at St.
Louis, this state, we reprint the fol-
lowing from the Leader of that citv
The Christian church of this place
at a recent Sunday morning service
decided to accept certain propositions
suggested by the minister at the an
nual meeting in February. For a
number of weeks the membership
have been considering a move which
is considered more in keeping with
the spirit OF its mission in the world.
Following are the propositions as
accepted without dissenting vote:
I'VE stand before the world claim
ing to be Bible Christians. This is
great thing. Are we willing to
make good? In the Bible we find no
organization but just the church. No
such methods as we have in these
days. The church work was not done
by societies in the church. 1t was
just the church at work. Let us have
q church of CN-ist indeed and in
fact.
mo societies such as the Mission
airy Society, Ladies Aid Society, etc.
but simply the church. No financial
drives. No every member canvass.
No collections as usual. No financial
pledges. No church fairs. No more
suppers for revenue. NO SALARIED
MINISTER. No meetings that are
not strictly Christian. No lectures on
subjects foreign to the word of God.
No services taken up to unite in any
meetings that has a political object.
"In the matter of the support of
the work let us place everything on
the Honor BaslsI each one giving
as God has prospered him, ever re-
membering that they who preach the
Gospel are to live of the Gospel. In
stead of passing the collection bask-
cts, let us place two boxes in conven-
lent places where each may deposit
his or her offering each week"
1t is not the intention to neglect
Missionary work, but to stimulate
interest in this work in every men,
Der. The last Sunday evening in each
month will be devoted to Missionary
work. The ladies will continue their
work as formerly, ard it is hoped in
a still larger way. The minister
says he is taking the larger risk in
laying down his salary of 1900 for
what the church may give in this
new way, but he feels that it is right
and all will be well. He says he trusts
in the Lord and his brethren.
This church stands for the unity of
Christ's people. 1t is neither Pro-
testant nor Catholic as these terms
are understood but simply Christian.

Fed The Birds

That the people of this city are of
calibre big enough so that they can
remember the less fortunate crea-
lures of the world was amply dem
onstrated during the recent blizzard
when the snow and ice so completely
covered the ground that it was prac-
tically impossible for the birds: rob-
ins, sparrows and others, of the fea-
the-ed friends to obtain anything to
eat and many person was observed
throwing out crumbs where the birds
could get them and so keep them
from starving. Some thoughtful per-
son put sign up on the north side
which read "Feed the Birds" and
this was undoubtedly the cause of a
lot Of feeding over on the north side.
However, many southsiders had fed
the birds early Sunday morning.

MOSELY CREAMERY
IMPORTANT LINK
IN MARKETING
FARMERS COOPERATIVE COM
PANY PREPARING FOR A
BUSY SEASON

During the past week the writer
had occasion to visit the Moseley
Cooperative Creamery and upon be-
coming acquainted with the butter
maker, Mr.. H. A. Black, drew some
very interesting facts from him.
The creamery is a concern owned
by about 220 wide awake and pro-
gressive farmers of the vicinity of
Moseley through which they find it
possible to market the cream from
their cows at the highest market
price to them.
The affairs of the creamery are
looked after by F. j. Bowler, as Sec
Manager, while in charge at the
creamery is the ,butter-maker, Mr..
Black, who, with the assistance of
his son, Lowell, turns the cream into
beautiful golden butter. The success
of the creamery proves their fitness
for the positions which they hold.
The creamery has a churn of 1000
pounds capacity, also a pasteuriZer
of the same size. During the sum-
mer months nearly 1000 pounds of
butter are turned out every day.
On account of the early season and
green grass coming on, the cream Is
already coming in good and long
and busy season is expected. Mr..
Black said they were fortunate in Sc
curing a good supply of ice of good
quality.
Most of the butter is marketed in
Grand Rapids. About half of it is
marketed in pound prints and the
rest in bulk.
During the past season the cream
cry has paid to the farmers approx
imately $4,000 in return for their
cream. 1t serves the farmer best by
calling at his door for his cream and
paying the best price for it, and
serves the city man by furnishing
the best in butter for the table.

WILL TAKE UP NEW CENSUS OF
BELDING POPULATION. 9TH
Err MATTERS DISCUSSED

About seventy-fve or eighty men,
bers of the Board of Commerce at
tended the supper in the city hall
auditorium last night.
After the usual formal business
was disposed Of, Mayor Washburn
psoke at length upon the advisability
of the B. of G.. taking up the census
again, simply to satisfy ourselves.
After considerable discussion pro and
con, it was voted to have Sec. b. r.
Brown, supervise the work and lay
out districts and volunteers would go
around to get number of people IN
the different homes of the city. These
enumerators will not ask the regu-
lation valume of census questions,
but simply to obtain the number OF
residents, and it is hoped that every
one will willingly correspond so the
work may be speedily completed. Mr.
l.. C. Upson spoke briefly assuring
us that he had made arrangements,
with the company which is erecting
an ice plant at Ionia, whereby they
could get enough ice to supply the
city of Belding this summer.
Mr.. Romin Robinson, of Bugalo, N.
Y, who was formerly in business
here in the firm of Robinson q Hud-
son, spoke, telling of what a benefit
such a body as the Board of Com
merce was and of the marked civic
improvements which had resulted
here since he had left Belding some
fourteen years ago. Mr.. Robinson re-
marked that the seventeen years
spent in business in Belding were
the pleasantest of his life and that
now, after this long absence he was
glad to be able to visit "home" again.
