I HE MONTAGUE OBSERVER 1/ Twenty-sixth Ye«r MONTAGUE. MUSKEGON COUNTY. MICH.. NOV. 12. 1925 Your Emergency Reserve Some of our farmers and mer- chants see the wisdom of a reser- ve fund against unforseen emer- gencies. Instead of spending all their profits they set aside a cer- tain amount and place it on cer- tificate of deposit. It earns a reasonable rate of interest and is always available for cash. This bank with its strong reserve connection,and known prudence, is well qualified to guard the re- serves of others. Start a reserve fund here today. FARMERS STATE BANK MONTAGUE,. MICH. 43 YEARS OF SAFE BANKING. Are You Ready? We wouldn't think of mentioning winter with its cold weather for that brings the thoughts of a coal bill to pay; but a word to the wise—let us make your storm windows now and save a third on that coal bill, not only this year but every year. White Lake Lumber Yard PHONE 202 On M-ll Service and Satisfaction Automobile Accidents Two auto accidents happened in thia village last iaturday, in which the cars were badly damaged but, fortunately, no one seriously injur- ed. Stewart's oil truck driven by Gor- don Woller and the touring car own- ed by Henry Eilera collided at the bend in the road at the top of the Franklin hill, badly damaging both machines. The Eilers car was occu- pied by Mrs. Henry Eilers and her aon Francia. Mra. Eilera auatained bruises and a shock that will lay her up for a few days. The oil truck in turning the corner was on the wrong aide of the road and therefore re- aponaible for the damages. The snow made it impoasible to deter- mine its course on the pavement. The other accident happened at the post office corner when a car coming from the north ran into C. A. Fitch'a car as it was passing the intersecting atreets. Mr. Fitch was bruised about the face and hia car waa somewhat damaged. Maay Attend Lecture The lecture given by Rev. M. S.

Use of Michigan's atraw stacks as valuable sources of fertilizer ia promised as a result of work being done by the aoila men at the Michi- gan State College, "The aoils sec- tions of the college is making use of atraw stacks by adding water, ferti- lizer, and lime and permitting the atack material to form valuable fertililizer," says Dr. McCool, in discussing the practice. ''When ammonium sulphate, phosphates, and carbonate of lime are added to the straw and the mass moistened, fermentation takes place rapidly. If the work is done properly, the resulting mass is brownish-black and finely divided, and is ready to use within three or four months. It appears to be very promising for use hy vegetable growers, florists, and i« a substitute for other top dress ing materials on golf courses.

Death claimed three of White- haU'a old residents the firat of the week: Henry Sturtevant. Mra. Car- oline Carleton and Mr. Annewalt. Mr. Sturtevant, aged 79 years, died Sunday night.

Friday and Saturday, notice two days, Rudolph Valentino in "The Sainted Devil" will be the big att- raction. "The Sainted Devil" is a story somewhat on the sheik order and gives the most popular lover of the films a chance to do hia atuff. You know it is a good atory because Rex Beach wrote it. On Sunday comes the firat of the John Golden productions. You will get to know the name of John Gol- den better. He is not an actor but a producer of plays who has aworn to give the American stage only clean American stories. The first Golden production is entitled, "The Wheel." It is presented by an all atar caat under the direction of Vic- tor Schertzinger. The titles are written by Montague Glass, the au- thor of the Potash and Permutter stories. Besides that the story is a whirlwind. Then on Wednesday comes a pic- ture which the management urgea you not to miss. It ia the aecond of the John Golden productions but that ian't the only reasonT Mainly t is because it presents Buck Jones n a rural comedy entitled "Lazy- Bones." Besides Buck Jones the cast contains Madge Bellamy, prob- ably the most beautiful girl on the screen and Zazu Putts one of the least beautiful, but probably the best actress. This story was direct- ed by Frank Borzage who made "Humoresque." The scenario is by Frances Marion who wrote that sto- ry for the screen too. Steve Tut- tle. Buck Jones, was just naturally born tired but he loved to fish. One day he is wading down stream Jand when he returns to his basket he finds a baby in it that he had no recollection of having caught on his hook. He brings the child up nam- ing her Kit. This part is played by Madge Bellamy so you can see that Kit turns out to be quite a success as a looker. The town people don't accept Steve's explanation of how he found Kit "in the bull rushes'' so to speak and neither she nor him self are well received so they live pretty much isolated with Steve's mother. But Steve goes to war and once in the front line he goes to sleep, in his usual lazy fashion and is left behind by his company when they retreat from an advance posit- ion. When he wakes up he finds the enemy between himself and his outfit and in order to get back he has to capture the entire gang. From then on he is a hero and when he comes home things are different. The fun gets fast and furious, also the interest and incidentally the pathos because everything isn't plain sailing even then. You have probably never seen Buck Jones in so good a piece of acting as this. We will make that stronger • you have probably never seen anybody in a picture that you will like any better than "Lazybones " It might happen anywhere. The management of the Playho- use wishes respecfully to remind yon that the Charlie Chaplin master- piece, "The Gold Rush" will be at the local theater for two days. Fri and Saturday the 20th and 21st of November and that there should be no excuse for not seeing it. The Playhouse has never played so ex- pensive a picture before—not even "The Covered Wagon" and the only reason for exhibiting it now instead of later when the summer popula- tion increases the patronage of the theater, is that that the new policy of the Playhouse ia to show the big pictures as soon as the big cities do. Whether It will be possible to con- tinue this policy depends largely up- on the interest shown in this vent- ure. "The Gold Rush" is the bigg- est comedy ever made. It was writ- ten, directed and acted by the world's greatest comedian. We know you will like. The scenic highway along Lake Michigan from Memorial Drive to Michillinda is near realization.* At the hearing held yesterday at Northland Country club, Fruitland township, the property owners with one exception seemed to be well sat isfied with the apportionment of the cost.

Bids will then be re- ceived on the job. Under the apportionment, Mus- kegon county at large will stand 21 percent of the cost; the districts 70 percent and Laketon and Fruitland townships 9 percent, five to Fruit- land and four to Laketon. Steps were taken more than two years ago to provide this highway which will build a scenic route along Lake Michigan. The road will run through the Michigan State park for nearly three miles and make the park more accessible to the public. It will also make the sand dnne country easy to reach by automobile and greatly increase the value of the resort property along Lake Michigan. The road is to be a 20-foot con- crete highway and will be nearly 11 miles in length.—Chronicle. School News.

Remarries Man Who Tried to Kill Her,

But Not for Love

Owosso, Mich.—She has become the wi fe of a man whom she once divorced and who tried to shoot her, but Mrs. Grace Bird tells the wide world she did not mar ry f o r love. It was because of necessity, she plains.

" I have had no money fo r f o u r months and was deeply in deb t , " she declares. " I had to feed my f o u r little children. I could not go to work f o r there was no one to keep the

! babies and I could not get a mother 's pension. I had no one to t u r n to but Bird. So I marr ied him. It was a case of necessi ty."

Bird, f ac ing a charge of a t t empt ing to kill his f o r m e r wife , will not be prosecuted, it is said, so long as he supports the family. Mrs. Bird has asked the author i t ies to permit her husband to go f r e e so tha t he may keep her and her children.

The management of the Playhouse is showing it on the screen onThanks-giving Day. By the way, be sure that all your children see this pict-ure.

H. Dale Souter and two daught-ers Margaret and Betty, of Grand Rapids, were guests Saturday and Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I. L. Lanford. The young ladies have a three weeks old baby brother, Alfred William, whose mo-ther's maiden name was Miss Lottie Shirts.

Mrs. Fred Sweet entertained two dozen ladies at 500 on last week Wednesday evening in honor of the birthday anniversary of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Walter Cook, of East Jor-dan. Mrs. Axel Johnson won ace prize and Mrs. Wm. Lipka. Jr. , the consolation. A very delicious three course luncheon was served after the games.

C. J- Jackson has sold his 110 acre farm in Claybanks townships to a Muskegon syndicate who will plat it for resort purposes. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson have lived on this farm for 32 years, and after they have disposed of their personal effects at auction Nov. 20, they will remove to Whitehall for residence. They are one of Claybanks most respect-ed and substantial families and their removal will be a distinct loss to that locality.

The H. S. Auditorium was well filled last Thursday evening to listen to the play "A Poor Married Man" presented by the Dramatic Club, un-der the able direction of Mrs. E. A.1

Pillman. The characters were all very well taken and each one seem-ed peculiarly suited to the character he represented. The audience were kept interested and expectant every moment and were not disappointed. The action was lively throughout and the general rumor is that it was one of the best presented by the school.

A number of the friends of Rev. and Mrs. E. J . Peacock met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Floten, Wednesday evening and gave them a farewell party as they are expect-ing to return next week to Tustin. Social games, music and a tooth-some lunch made the time pass quickly. Supt. G. W. Wakefield, with a few well chosen words, pre-sented Mr. and Mrs. Peacock with a token of remembrance from those present. The church and this com-munity regrel that Mr. and Mrs. Peacock are leaving us, and wish them Godspeed in their future work.
