EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS.
Arrange to Have Cranberry Exhibit al
ST Louis ExpOsition

The executive committee of the
Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers
association held a meeting in this CITY
Monday and settled the unfinished
business referred to it at the meeting
of the association January II. The
committee has decided to make an
exhibit of the Wisconsin cranberries
at the st. Louis exposition in connect
ion with the state exhibit. They will
make display in sections, giving the
cranberry marsh with it's vines.
irrigation, ETC., making as good a
representation as the funds will per-
nit. This is considered an important
matter by the association, as the
Wisconsin cranberry is rapidly occupy
ing the field in the South and West
heretofore held by the Eastern berries.
Plans were considered looking
toward establishing a standard Of
SOundneSS in inspection of berries. 1t
was proposed to have an inspector to
examine the crop and rate the berries
according to uniform standard for
the benefit of both grower and dealer.
A general policy for the extension
and operation of the experimental
station was mapped out for the COM
ing year. Much information, it is
expected, will be derived from this
station and made available for use at
the August meeting.
Then, too, movement was put on
foot toward bringing a smaller package
into use. This method, it is thought,
will lead to increased consumption
and the berries would reach the
market in more attractive form.

LOCAL P0ST0FFlcE FIGURES.
Consolidation Would Mean Free Delivery in
Grand Rapids in the Near Future.

For the purpose of giving the people
Of Grand Rapids an idea of the gradual
growth of the post Office on the east
side of the river, also to show the
total business for the past four years,
we append the following figures:
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1902-01-30

While the above figures show the
total amount of business done at the
Grand Rapids poStoffice, it is safe to
presume that the business done at the
Centralia office would probably make
a like favorable showing, but as we
have not the data at hand we are
unable to give them. Judging from
the total amount Of business done in
the stamp department in 1901 at the
Grand Rapids office, which amounts
to So, l64.74. it is safe to place the total
business of the Centralia office for the
same year at $500. These combined
figures would make a total business
for the consolidated office of $8,664 "A,
which is only 81. 1926 less than the
required amount necessary for free
delivery. This being true it can easily
be seen that the natural growth of the
combined offices would reach the
$4,000 mark, warranting free delivery
within the coming year.

Inc BODY of man identified as that
OF }. Z. Hutchinson, missing from
Winslow since April 8, was found in
the kennebec, Saturday morning. The
discovery was made by Augustus
Thomas, log driver who was engaged
in sorting logs. Coroner Henderson
and Undertaken F. b. Wood were noti-
fled ut about $50. A hasty considera-
ton OF the facts as they were then
given partially convinced them of the
identity of the man, and Mr.. Hutchin-
son OF Augusta, was informed.
Coroner Henderson after viewing the
remains deemed an inquest unneces-
sary, and they We're removed to Woods
Undertaking rooms to await positive
identification. The body seemed to
have met with many hard knocks,
robably owing to contact with logs,
and the features were barely recognize
able by the two sons who arrived in
the forenoon.
Mr.. Hutchinson's age was 80 years,
and for some time previous to his dis
appearance on April s, had been de-
spondent and in poor health. 1t was
supposed that he was drowned, but no
tace was found until Saturday.

St. Joseph, 6; South Gardiner, q.

The ball game between the mines of
st. Joseph's Lyceum and South Gardi-
ner. Saturday afternoon, at Quimby
field was lively and well-played one.
Both teams showed up well. as will be
seen by the score. 1t was really at
pitchers game and both men were at
their best and did very good work.
South Gardiner had the first innings
and was put out in one, two three or
der. as was the case up to the Lyce-
um's half of the fourth, when they
scored two runs. South Gardiner was
unable to score until the sixth, when
three men crossed the plate on an error
Then objections were raised as to a de-
cision by the umpire and after quite a
lengthy discussion the game continued
and the three scores went down on the
book.
In their half of the sixth the St Jo-
seph boys put two more men across
the plate. In this inning Companion
made pretty three-bagger, the only
long hit of the game. In the seventh,
South Gardiner made one run and the
Lyoeums were shut out. The eighth
inning was full of excitement South
Gardiner failed to score. The first man
up for the Lyceums was put out on
third and Cunningham reached third on
a hit by Campbell. but wa put out on
third and Cunningham reached third
on a hit by Campbell, but was put out
between third and home, leaving Camp
bell on second. South Gardiner thought
three men were out and started q kick
ana while the crowd went on the field
to hear the fun Campbell stole third
and then home, being closely followed
by Demmons, the South Gardiner
pitcher.
Then South Gardiner refused to play,
claiming that time was called and
Campbell had no right to run. The
umpire called no time and his decision
held and the game stopped with the
I.yceums inners by a score of 6 to 4.
The batting order and positions were
as follows:

PEACE OF EUROPE

London. May 5.-The tardy official adj
mission of the real nature of the Illness
of the Queen of Holland. which The AS
ISOLATED Press was able to announce,
April II, from Amsterdam, may be re
garded as an indication OF very grave
crisis in Her Majesty's condition, and
coming so suddenly upon the bulletins an
nouncing her imminent recovery. it will
cause a shock throughout Europe.
Apart from the difficulties surrounding
the question of the succession to the
throne of Holland, the death of Queen
Wilhelmina. if this should unhappily oc-
cur. would tend to convulse the continent
politically. In Germany especially it is a
matter of the deepest import. The Ger
man press claims that Prince Albrecht OF
Hohenzollern. the acting regent of Bruins
wick, is among the nearest in the Dutch
succession, and in all the other Euro
pean capitals nervous apprehension ex-
lists that the absence of a direct heir &c
the Dutch throne might precipitate n
struggle for the possession of Holland
which in Berlin Is regarded as Germany
