TRIUMPHS OF MODERN SUR
gerry.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed
entirely: bones spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins;
antiseptlc dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like in
juries before inflammation sets in,
which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment.
Cham berlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep bottle of Pain BALM in your
home and it will save YOU time and
money, not to mention the inconveni-
ence and suffering which such in

TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS

The REPORTER kindly and respect
fully suggest to it's correspondents
that in most cases the accounts of
Sunday visiting is receiving more than
it's share of time and space. Please
look over the correspondence, person
ais and locals in any county paper and
note what word, expression, or SEN

While appreciating the importance
of noticing Sunday visitors in a
county paper there are other items
that should not be overlooked.
Among these are real estate improve

AT THE OPERA HOUSE
FRIDAY NIGHT

The boxing match or prize fight
was failure from every stand point.
Financially, socially and morally.
The city of Grand Rapids mas out
grown the limits of village and
naturally deserves no such attic tion.
This second attempt in the past week
to give an entertainment of this kind
clearly demonstrates that Grand
Rapids is fortunately without a suffi-
cient following of this element to
insure success.
Disgusting, demOralizing scenes can
be viewed through print as well as
in fact. Viewed either way they are
pernicious to the onlooker and carry
moral contagloD. Asa rule no good pur-
pose can be served, and much harm
maybe done by parading them in print,
and thus exhibiting them broad cast
aud spreading their contamination.
A few people in every community are
afflicted with taste, for such enter
tainment, but that taste will not be
catered to by reputable newspaper.
The people of this city have reason to
complain. The city's fair name is
tarnished by every such attraction,
and morally it is blot on the respec-
table elements of the community.
The city officers representing the
city's interest is bound in conscience
and honor to protect the welfare of
its citizens. Not only in what con-
Germs the city's temporal good but
moral advancement. The respectable
element require and demand at least
so much of its representative. 1t
asks for protection and cooperation
in stamping out vagrant and senseless
exhibition. Nav this recent humila-
tiOn be the last.

FINE SHOWING FOR
WOOD COUNTY
The Products Of Wood County
Attracts Much Attention in
Many Respects Led the State
in Exhibits of Grains, Grasses
and Vegetables.

Tie farmers of Wood County have
much to be proud of, in fact a good
wholesome dose of pride might be
beneficial to every citizen. 1t is
seldom that a county as new as ours
in agricultural pursuits captures the
second prize in state fair with as
sharp competition as we had to meet
at Milwaukee. The men who had
charge of the exhibits feel confident
that the first prize can be captured
another year, as they are now more
familiar with what is required.
1t is worth while for Wood County
and the adjoining counties to devote
more time and their best effort and
some cash in making annual exhibits
at the state fair. IL is one of the
very best ways of advertising our
part of the state. as it attracts uni
verSal attention of large mass Of
farmers living in the southern part of
the state.
1t speaks in positive tone as to the
quality of our soil and it is in many
cases what prompts the farmers to
sell his land in the southern part Of
the state for $100 acre and come to
Wood County and buy superior
quality of soil for 1926 per acre. Every
exhibit of this kind that Wood
County makes and helps to form a
closer and stronger bond of fellowship
with the entire state.

After looking over our exchanges
we know we have AN unusually good
corps of correspondents, and we fully
appreciate their assistance, but we
believe there is room for improve
ment and kindly request them to
assist US in making our local news
columns more crisp and interesting.
Crisp is good word in expressing
news items as they should be. Give
all the points essential to make an
item clear and interesting, but cut
out unnecessary words and phrases.

One word about obituaries. We
wish notice Of the death of every
person in the county, also of those
who have lived in the county at some
time. but we want them as news not
as funeral sermons. and with some
consideration of the prominence of
the deceased and his Importance in
the community. There is too much
recital in obituaries of common vir-
tues that tend to make them dull and
uninteresting to the great majority of
our readers. While we sympathize
with the bereaved we must keep in
mind what our readers want, and that
could be summed up into who is the
man, to what prominence did he rise
and how did he help his fellow men.
