All men have to be born some
where and the birthplace of Dr..
James G.. Greggerson was in a log
cabin. This is not an original kind
of birthplace. 1t is too old fashion
ed and proclaims him of common
origin. A lot of our presidents were
born in log cabins, but not many of
the future presidents are going to
be. The bungalow is rapidly put
ting log cabins out of business.
So, Greggerson, though a young
man in years, is old fashioned in his
birthplace. One thing generally no
ticed about these log cabin fellows
is that they are rugged, undaunted
fighters when faced with obstacles.
Another thing, they generally devel-
op sturdy shoulders and capacious
lungs, by exercising an ak on a wood
pile.
Greggerson is a type of man who
looks as if he had been hewn out
with an ak, and then rounded out a
bit by good food. His shoulders are
broad. His health is ridiculously
good. His lungs are deep and his
voice untiring. Several times in his
life he has had a man with a hashy
vest, broad brimmed hat and a
pill box sep up and offer him a for
tune handling hair tonic. Gregger-
sons hair is pompadour and the ton
ic would have a fine sale il Gregger-
son would only say, 81 use it."
He spent several years in the reg
ular army where he learned how to
fight the enemy and to fight with
fists when anybody stepped on his
toes. At one time he was labor ag-
itator and he knew how to agitate.
He was discharged from the army

B. h. S. PRESENTS
AxEL SK0VGAARD
DANISH v|0L|N|ST
FAMOUS MUSICAL ARTIST AND
WIFE TO APPEAR BEFORE
LOCAL AUDIENCE

Again the local High school is. in
strumental in bringing to the music
lovers OF Belding, a musical program
of unusual worth. On Friday, March
II, it will present the Skovgaards in
a violin and piano recital at the
Church Of Christ.
Axel Skovgaard began playing the
violin at the age of five. For some
years he was the favorite pupil of
Joseph Joachim, the "King Of Vio-
linists". From his twelfth year he
has made concert tours through the
Scandinavian countries, Belgium,
Germany, Holland and England. He
made his first appearance in Ameri-
ca as a soloist with the New York
Symphony orchestra. Later he made
an extended tour through the Unit
ed States and Canada, appearing in
Carnegie hall. New York; in Boston
Symphony Society hall; in Chicago,
Montreal, Toronto and many other
important musical centers. He is
a mature musician, and plays with
an emotional intensity that satisfies
the critic and reaches the heart OF
all.
The violin on which SkoVgaard
plays is genuine Stradivarius
which was kept in the makers fam
ily for 200 years before it was even
strung. At that time Skovgaard
bought it for $4,000. Of course Vat
the present time it is worth much
more than the original price. The
violinists left hand is so valuable
to him that he has had it insured for
$5c, 900.
Alice McClung Skovgaard, pianist
who will appear with her husband is
IN accompanist and solo performer
supreme. Theodore Thomas, the ia
nous conductor, of Chicago, consid-
ers her musical wonder. She will
add greatly to the program.
In order to provide atmosphere
for this concert. the management has
engaged the Church of Christ for
the occasion. This church has been
newly decorated and lighted and will
provide fitting place for this ar
tistic performance. This church
will seat 285 people only, and you
are advised to reserve your seas
early.
In spite Of the very high value OF
the concert, very reasonable prices
will be charged: 35c for school pu-
pills, SOC for others. Reserved seats
are now on sale at Wortley's at 10c
extra.

Maccabees Hold Banquet

A banquet was given by the Mac
cabees in their hall, Wednesday ev-
ening at 500 o'clock. Good talks
on lodge subjects were given. Dep
uty A. A. Throop, Of Grand Rapids,
gave a very interesting talk on the
good of the lodge and what it was
for and the good that it was doing.
After the banquet and business meet
ing was over, the evening was for
a general good time. About thirty
FIVE members attended and all report
ed a good time. This was the third
monthly banquet and business meet
ing. The next one will be held on

army hospi ais had been able to
eradicate He was the subject of
many experiments some of which he
sanctioned and some of which he
didn't know anything about except
that they failed. Like many anoth-
ef man whose life is now devoted to
the purpose of making Chiropractic
known, he finally was turned toward
Chiropractic and got well. He estab-
lished practice in Braddock, Pa,
and was caring for $50 to 200 pa
tients a day and when he decided to
give up this extraordinary lucrative
practice and devote all his time to
writing and lecturing. For several
years he had written all the adver-
tising used by the Universal Chiro-
practor's Association in their ma
tional magazine publicity campaign.
AS lecturer he is logical and ell
oquent. His humor, like Greggerson
is rugged. 1t has an unmistakable
point. 1t is usually a sidelight on
his logic. His tongue is tipped with
eloquence. Pathos and feeling are
natural to him. AS a lecturer he
holds his audience FROM beginning
to end.
An UNUSUAL feature of ,Gregger-
sons platform behavior, is that he
drinks no water. The water is al
ways placed and Greggerson will oc-
casionally look at it, but he is mere
ly looking for gold fish, as he never
drinks. His voice never develops
hoarseness. and always seems more
vibrant and mellow at the close than
at the beginning of his talk. Though
dry speaker there is nothing dry
about his lecture.

Dodge Brothers alone. even though

their share, but to the indus ry as

ton of firearms, and heaven only
knows what else reformers have IN
mind for our disturbance.
Gov. Miller probably correctly says
there will never be any effort to dis
rupt the Union by secession again but
the Union is in danger from three
sources-from revolution; from legal
disruption by constitutional amend
ment or by usurpation by the federal
government of the legitimate func-
tions of the states. And he cites
George Washington's warning that
usurpaption of federal power was the
greatest danger.
1t is time to wake up and assert
the faith that our fathers fought and
died for. This section is becoming as
bad as any other in it's dependence
on the federal government. Let's
elect our best men to the state legls-
lature and turn our faces to Columbia
rather than to Washington.

SOUND DOCTRINE FROM
UNEXPECTED SOURCE

Greenwood Index-Journal.
Asserting that the states are be-
ing threatened today by federal usur-
patton of power, Governor Miller de-
clared himself on Estates right"
the paramount issue of the civil war
The above is the opening para
graph of front page story in Sat
urday's New York Times.
The Governor Miller referred to is
Governor Miller of the great state of
New York and he is a Republican.
Before becoming Governor Miller
he was Judge of nigh rank and his
legal knowledge has long been recog-
nized and admired in his native state.
There are two things we wish to
commend, in the statement Of Gov.
Miller: His advocacy of states rights
and his statement that this was the
paramount issue Of the War Between
the States. He, like many others IN
the North and East, now has learned
that slavery was not the paramount
issue nor anything more than an in
cidental issue.
True Gov. Miller is not like some
John the Baptist, preaching new
and strange doctrine in the wilder
ness of New York. Other governors
and other leading men in the North
and East have recently had say or
two on the subject, but no one of
them has made it the subject of a
long and elaborate speech as did Gov.
Miller at Glen Cove last Friday.
All of US have been guilty of call
ing on Washington for this and for
that. Every evil under the sun could
be cured by congressional legisla-
ton. We wanted help for this and
for that; we wanted the congress to
ouy cotton and to give minimum
price on cotton; we wanted federal
prohibition and we got it--just look
at it, will you? we wanted woman
suffrage by federal amendment and
got it, and now there is talk of a fed
eral ban on tobacco, federal legisla-
ton to regulate the length of wom-
