vi:im:siiav, junk . 10, 1914 THE BELDING BANNER iwai: tiiici:i; FIRE MARSHALL SAYS PARENTS SHOULD MAKE SANE FOURTH State Fire Marshal John T. Winship is issuing a warning to the citizens of the state regarding the coming Fourth of July. He urges a safe anil sane Fourth. Mr. Winship says that statistics show the following: 1910 20 sane cities; killed and injured, 8,307 icrsons. 1911 91 sane cities; killed and injured, 2,923 persons. 1912 161 sane cities; killed and injured, 1,603 persons. 1913 203 sane cities ; killed and injured, 1,163 ersons. . ( Parents are urged to back up to the fullest extent xssible all efforts of au thorities to lessen the dangers to life and property. Especially are they urged to use the utmost care in their purchases and afterward in the use of these "joys" of the youthful heart. Marshal Winship recommends that at tention be given to these points: 1. SAFETY FIRST. 2. Don't buy the dangerous kind of fireworks. 3. Under no circumstances allow chil dren to handle fireworks. 4. Don't allow your boy to have a "gxs-P'l'e" cannon. 5. Toy pistols, blank cartridges, large or dynamite firecrackers or torpedo canes are dangerous and prohibited by law. 6. Many thousands of dollars worth of property Is destroyed each year ne cause of oalloons. The type of balloon which requires u fire underneath' to pro Iel is dangerous. , Try to find some sane way, says Mr. Winship, to celebrate the day. Basket and picnic dinners may be held in the parks or woods. (Jood shakers and sports of all kinds may be used witli splendid results and without having acci dents to report as a result of the day's activities. SAYS WANT ADS PAY Another evidence of the success the people are having with Banner want ads was shown by the results obtained by Clyde Cooper recently. Mr. Cooper in serted a For Sale ad in the want column for one week telling that he had a sow and six pigs for sale. The advertise ment cost, him fifteen cents and he re ceived almost fifty replies from the one insertion. The sow and pigs were sold at a figure wholly satisfactory to Mr. Cooper and at a minimum cost. He got in touch with all of the people in the country that were interested in what he had to offer. It is said that the best times'of day to see forest fires from lookout stations are just after daylight and just before sunset.

Last week a cyclone swept through the country around Freeport, de stroying several barns and buildings, uprooting orchards, leveling large forest trees and causing many hundreds of dollars of loss. Only a little more than one year ago a cyclone swept through the country, all around this vicinity, resulting in many thousands of dollars of damage. This only confirms the FACT that Cyclones and Windstorms are be coming more frequent as the country becomes cleared up. No one can tell WHERE those whirling monsters will strike, or WHEN. YOU are just as apt to be the next one to suffer as anyone else. There is no way to "dodge" and every piece of property in the path of one of these storms is sure to be destroyed or greatly damaged. The ONLY WAY in which you can PROTECT YOURSELF is to INSURE AGAINST THEM. The Cost of a Policy In this Company is so Small That no Property Owner can Afford to be Without One All that it COSTS YOU is a policy fee of $1.00 and an advance as sessment of 20 CENTS ON EACH $100 INSURED. A policy for $1,000 would therefore ONLY COST YOU $3.00, and if you meet with loss you will GET YOUR MONEY up to the face of your policy. This is the OLDEST, LARGEST and STRONGEST Windstorm Insurance Company in Michigan, and one of the very largest and strongest in the world. We have been doing business for almost 30 YEARS; we have paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in LOSSES; and WE HAVE PAID EVERY LOSS FUL LY and PROMPTLY. Back of EVERY POLICY is a membership of about 60,000, and an assessable capi tal of One Hundred and Twenty Millions of Dollars. A policy in this company is therefore as Safe and Sound as a Government )3ond. This company is growing faster to-day than ever before, because people all over Michigan KNOW that it is most careful and conservative in its management and honorable in its settle ments. That's why we have grown from 159 members and $163,710 insurance in 1885 to 60,000 members and $120,000,000.00 insurance in 1914. Michigan Mutual Tornado, Cy clone & Windstorm Ins. Co.

' Mrs. William Foss claims to have n I flock of hens that have broken the record i in hatching eggs. Recently she set thir !teen hens on total of 1H2 eggs. From the hatch she took 171 chicks. Mrs. Foss thinks the old hen is good enough for her. The results of her ef ' forts seem to bear her out in the claim ithat she holds the hatching record. If 1 nnv one can show, a better average, de I tails of thefact will be gladly received. INFORMATION ON I OUR ENEMY. THE FLY I I Health Olllcer Litle has given the j Banner some interesting literature on the fly question. Here are some ex , tracts. l ly Don'ts !

Don't have feeding places where lilies can load themselves with dejec tions from typhoid or dysenteric pa tients. i Don't allow your fruits and confec tions to be exposed to the swarms of ; Hies. i Don't let Hies crawl over the baby's mouth and swarm upon the nipple of , its nursing bottle.

Hen Lays Two Eggs a Day. llev. Pease of the Church of Christ has a remarkable flock of chickens, three in ail, two hens and a rooster. Last Thurs day evening Mr. Pease drove his birds to the coop and fastened them in for the night. Before having the coop he searched the nests for eggs anil assured himself that they were empty. On Fri day morning when he went to the coop he found an egg anil later in the same day two others. As the incident has occurred a number of times lately Mr. Pease is convinced that he has a hen that lays two eggs in one day occasionally. As one of his flock is a Marred Plymouth Rock and the other a Silver Laced Wyandotte Mr. Pease does not know which breed de serves the honor. EN10YS READING BANNER Holcomb, X. Y., May 20, 1914. Belding Banner, Messrs: F.nclosed please find $1.00 to renew my subscription to the Ban ner. I do not want to miss a single copy as It Is like a letter from home each week. I enjoy reading about the new office, presses, linotype, etc. and wonder what it would be like to work In such an up-to-date office after spending some time In the old office. There has been so much rain and cold weather here that farming is slow this spring. Many who were lucky enough to get their plowing done last fall have oats. .Lilacs are only begin ning to bud and the leaves are begin to show on the trees. I enjoy the Poultry department as I Intend to do something along the poultry line my self. With best regards to all, Yours Respectfully, Mrs. F.lla K. Steele. DR. LITLE INSPECTS STORES AND MARKETS Health officer Litle made an inspec tion recently of the grocery stores, meat markets and confectlonerv stores. jlle reported that for the most part j they were in a splendid sanitary con dition. In one or two instances he 'made suggestions toward bettering conditions and these suggestions were followed out faithfully. Automobile Section The Automobile Section of the Ban ner is becoming one of the good fea tures of the paper. The reading mat ter and advertising of the whole sec tion Is of interest to every owner or prospective owner of an automobile or motorcycle. Manufacturers state that red alder from the Pacific coast is a suitable material for clothespins. Alder makes a white, smooth, springy pin. As a result of this fact, a clothespin factory, said to be the first on the Pac ific coast, may be established at Port land, Oregon.
