Mr.. Farmer!
False Economy

Is buying machinery, vehicles or i'm
plements which you are not absolute.
ly certain combine good material with
high efficiency and convenience.
To buy goods right a man should
leave the question of price out of
consideration until he has weighed
points Of merit in an entirely un-
prejudiced manner, then it's time for
price.
If you're convinced Of the superior
worth Of any piece of farm machinery
you're short-sighted to let any rea.
sonable difference in price cut any
figure.
A prejudiced man is more unjust to
himself than any n else, for he lets
prejudice sway his reason, often to
his disadvantage and loss.

COMEDY ON A. STREET CAR.
How q Jealous Wife MANAGED to Turn
the Tables on Her Hus-
band.

| An amusing evidence of feminine jeal-
ousy and quick wit was witnessed by NJ
| east one other passenger than the two d.
rectiy interested on a PENNSYLVANIA ave-
enue car the other afternoon, relates thu
washington Star. At the intersection
OF Seventeenth street a good-looking
young couple boarded the front car.
which was closed one, and took the
only vacant two seats In the middle. At
the transfer station at Fifteenth street
several passengers left the car. but more
from the other line got on, SO that one
young woman was left standing. The
young man who had got on at Seven
teenth street arose and offered his seat
TO the lady. She accepted graciously,
and his face reflected the satisfaction he
felt at having had the good fortune to
give his seat to handsome woman.
She was gowned faultlessly and her ex-
preston OF pleasure at all things was
equal to that of the young man who had
given her the seat. She looked coyly at
him once or twice and blushed when he
caught her eye. At the second glance the
young woman whom the gentleman was
escorting saw the maneuver and glared
ut her unconcerned sister. It was evil
dent that the latter did not know that
the man was accompanied, and Il was tho
business OF the other to enlighten her
and do it quickly and decisively. From
that instant 1t was evident to the inter-
ested' spectator of the little comedy that
the pair were man and wife, but the 9TH
or girl was sublimely unconscious Of this
palpable fact and continued, from time
to time, her glances at the man. Then It
happened.
Charlie" said the lady who had come
In with the man, her voice having Just
ttmbre enough to carry clearly to the
ear of the other girl: II don't think We
can get along another day with Cora, and
II you don't discharge her this very day
will"
The other turned toward her and her
face crimsoned to the back Of her neck,
but the wife went on, utterly unconscious
Of the presence OF anyone else and de-
termined to have her revenge upon both
the culprits. The husband, by this time,
was seeking a convenient hole into which
he might crawl and pull it in after him,
and the face Of the other girl had now
taken on a different expression and her
chin had saucy tilt as she listened for
more domestic dialogue. Charlie" never
said word, but his wife had more to
say.
DO you think the baby will be safe
with Cora?? declare I'm afraid Of that
girl, and I'll never leave the baby with
her again. She simply has to go and at
once"
At this the man looked amazed and the
listener knew that that baby was flc-
ton. But the game worked and the 9TH
er girl left the car hurriedly at Elev-
enth street. Then the wife looked limo
Gently at her husband and smiled quietly
to herself.

Some time ago there appeared in
this column an editorial on the value
Of window trimming. We can of
course, take no credit for the improve
ment in the trims" but we can show
our appreciation of the effort that is
now so plainly to be seen. We wonder
sometimes if the people as they buy
goods ever mention the fact that they
saw them in the window. When you
see prettily trimmed window don t
be afraid to tell the merchant of it.
He will appreciate iG somewhat after
the same manner as you do when told
that your garden is the best in the
city. 1t will make him even more
anxious to please. -Waupaca Record.

THE SUNDAY GAME
Lacrosse Barely Escapes
ShutOut.

Quite a little enthusiasm was
created Sunday when the locals met
the La Crosse team and came near
whitewashing them. Had it not
been for base error in the seventh
inning the chances are that the
visitors would never have scored.
And the seventh was the only inning
when they did score.
The game all around was a much
better exhibition than the game Of
a week ago, both pitchers being more
effective. Grand Rapids boys have
clearly demonstrated that they can
and do play good ball and merit your
attendance and support at their
games.
Runs: Grand Rapids, Z; La Crosse, 8;
hits, Grand Rapids, Z; La Crosse, 3:
struck out by German 6; by Fuchsee, 8;
bases on balls, off German /, off Fuch-
see, 3; left on base, Grand Rapids, 8;
La Crosse. 5. Time of game, l:25.
Umpire, Laramie. Score by inning:
Grand Rapids 03 0O1O3 81
La Crosse 100000 3 O-3
The Second Game.
The second game, while superior to
the first in some respects, was not as
interesting as it would have been had
the result not been sos self-evident
from the start. The score, II to 5, is
a fair indication of the relative merits
of the two teams. There were some
errors on both sides, but on the whole
the game was clean cut one with
the result never in doubt from the
first. La Crosse tried out new
pitcher, but after few innings fell
back on FuchSee who was about as
effective as on Sunday. Our boys ex-
perienced no difficulty in finding
either pitcher and wien hits meant
runs they were always forthcoming.
They came not in ones and twoS. but
in big lunches and it may truly be
said that we scored at will.
NOTES.
With the exception of a few errors
the Grand Rapids field work was of a
very high order.
German pitched both games for our
boys and was better if anything in
the second. And then the way he
fielded his position wasn't so slow
either.
The fans have warm spot in their
hearts for Johnnie Sievert. The way
he handles things down at second
brings the spectators to their feet
every inning or so.
The management OF the team feels
much encouraged at the attendance
of the last two games and some very
good games are being arranged.

THE SUPPLY OF SEA FOOD.
Will Soon Be Exhausted If the Con.
sumption Continues at
Present Rate.

The marvellous increase in the facil-
tiles for distribution has widened the
field and enormously increased the de-
mand for the food products of the sea
for May. Fresh oysters, clans, lob
sters. shad, rockfish and mackerel from
the Atlantic coast; oystefs, crabs.
shrimps and red snappers from the
gulf coast, and lake trout, pike perch
and whitefish from the great lakes now
find their way daily in their season in
to every state and territory of the
union; while the Pacific coast and
Alaska send fresh halibut, steelhead
trout and royal Chinook salmon AL
over the United States and to Europe.
the fish reaching their destination as
fresh and sweet as when taken from
the Columbia or the Icy waters Of
Alaska.
To expect unaided nature to keep
pace with the ever-increasing demand
for aquatic products, says tie National
Geographical Magazine, is as unreason-
able as 1t would be to expect the un-
cultivated land to meet the demand for
grains and fruits and the butchers
food.
Cultivation of the coasts and interior
waters is as possible and imperative
as Is cultivation of the land. and prom
ises quite as rich returns. An acre OF
water can be made even more produce
tive than an acre of land. On land, the
producing area is surface, but the
total producing area of body of wa
ter is many times the superficial area
Of its bottom. The time will surely
come when the oyster harvest of Ches-
apeake bay each year will be fully
equal to the total harvest of the last
so years.
Oyster culture and fish culture are
still In their infancy. and am con-
vinced that the time is not far distant
when, through fish cultural operations,
the annual catch Of each Of many Of
our important food fishes. particularly
the shad on the Pacific coast and In
Alaska, will be many times greater
than 1t has been in the past

Water Main will be Repaired Soon.

Fred Pfeiffer, the waterworks in
SpectOr, has found the leak in the
water main at the bottom of the
river. 1t is located seventy three
feet from the west side. The break
was found by turning on the water
which caused bubbles to appear on
the surface where the pipe was
broken. The services of a diver will
not be needed. A Golfer dam box,
will be built around the broken pipe
and the water pumped out. Then a
new piece Of pipe the length of the
break will be put in. The work will
begin as soon as the material arrives.
Mr.. Pfeiffer says the work Of repairing
the pipe will be finished within two
weeks

CHILDREN FROM THE CITY.
Sent to the Country by Charitable PEG
pie Receive and Radiats
Much Good.

Every season there Is an increasing
multitude Of city children that fin(
their way into the country through tn,
assistance of charitable and philan
thropic institutions, says Medical Tall
for the Home.
We recall an experience of this kind
in country village. At our sugges.
ton SO or more of these children were
taken for few weeks vacation. The
farmers In that vicinity had never
heard OF such thing before. It was
with some hesitation that our advice
was acted upon.
Empty houses were filled with the
noise and prattle of city children
Troops Of them could be seen racing
across the fields, gathering under
fruit trees, committing various petty
depredations. but filing the air with
joyful shouts and gleeful tumult.
The enterprise had for Its motive the
benefit that would accrue to the chill
dren, but to our establishment the
greater good came to those who enter
tanned the children. Not that the chill
dren received no benefit, for indeed
they did. Little pale. h6ggard faces
became full and brown, fabby legs be-
came round and hard. An astonishing
physical benefit came to the whole troop
in that greatest Of all sanitariums-out-
door life In the country. But the benefit
that came to the farmers and villagers
who acted as hosts and hostesses was
many times greater.
After few weeks stay the word went
forth that the train which was to convey
the children back to the city would be at
the depot the next morning at nine
O'Clock. 1t was a curious multitude
that gathered there. Men and women
who had been without children for many
years.. Ma IRE maidens who had never
known the care or JOY of children.
Sturdy farmers and buxom matrons,
who, for one reason or another were
childless. came bringing their little
guests to the train that was to take them
forever out Of their sight and life. It
was a solemn occasion Notwithstanding
the noise and the bustling scene.
Boxes filled with every imaginable
eatab!e and bric-a-brac. Cages con-
tanning rats, squirrels. birds and other
living creatures. Pieces of painted
boards, curious stones, everything that
attracted the eye of the city children had
been captured to be carried back to the
city.
Many tears were shed at the parting.
Many moist eyes saw the train move
slowly away, and It was a lugubrious
company that separated to go back
home, once more to resume life without
the clatter and the constant concern
which these children brought with
them and took away again.
Some Of these children were adopted
for life. Many more would have been
II the consent OF the city parents could
have been obtained.

Mr.. and Mrs. julius Lelauff who
were driving to their home on the
south side at late hour last night,
met with a serious accident which
may prove fatal to Mr.. Lelauff. They
were driving on French Street and
when nearing the first arch light
which blinded their sight and caused
them to collide with another vehicle
coming from the opposite direction.
Both were thrown out. Mr.. Lelauff
received internal injuries and was
carried to DR.. Rockwell's hospital

WHEN CAST IRON EXPANDS.
Construction Unsafe Unless Steel
Alone Is Used, Says an
Authority.

At the monthly meeting Of the Frank
lin institute in Philadelphia recently
Prof. Alexander e. Outerbridge re-
Viewed the result OF his recent studies
on the effect Of severe heat on cast iron,
and illustrated the danger Of combining
1t with steel In building construction.
He proved conclusively that a bar OF cast
Iron Is inches long, after heating and
cooling shows a permanent expansion
of about 0.45 per cent. while under SIM
liar conditions steel will return to its
original dimensions.
Photographs taken after tho recent
hre at Baltimore were exhibited. and In
every case the steel skeleton building
resisted the terrific food Of firs. while
cast iron buildings lay in shattered
ruins. One towering steel building. al
though Quilted from top to bottom, was
found to be plump, and the skeleton in
such perfect condition that tho building
could be refnished and occupied again
Applying the results of his laboratory
experiments to building construction,
especially In the light Of the actual fire
tests at Baltimore, the lecturer ex-
pressed his opinion that any combine
ton OF cast iron with steel in such struc-
lures constituted a distinct fire hazard.
and in future fireproof buildings should
be constructed entirely Of steel.
At the last meeting Of the American
Society of Civil Engineers In New York
also the employment Of cast iron was
the subject Of unusually spirited con-
domination. These scientific demon
STATIONS and their proved results are
sure to have very definite effect in
planning future flreproof construction.
