THE FARMER AND
THE NEWSPAPER

The time has come when the
farmer is good patron and not only
Of the county papers but OF the state
and national papers as well. With
the three rural routes leading out
from Grand Rapids the farmer is
brought in close touch with the county
and the state. But do we give the
farmer the space and attention his
position and condition require?
The Chicago Record Herald is the
first daily to recognize the American
farmer: By setting aside two columns
of space daily for the publication of
news pertaining to agricultural In
dustries. The Record Herald has
enabled the farmer to feel that we not
only have personal interest in the
daily newspaper but that at least
part of it is published TOR him and his
family.
The rural mail delivery system has

MORE WORKING MEN,
MORE SHOPS

No question before the people 0
Grand Rapids from the time it was ;
small trading post up to the present
time has been of greater Importance
than railroads. No question enters
more materially into the operation
of every business or more surely
controls it's success or failure thar
transportation.
In community like ours where the
railroads were the pioneers, where
our cities and towns and settled com.
munities have settled up along these
lines, where natures highway, the
Wisconsin river, was unused and
unusable. In city like ours where we
consume SO small a. part of what we
produce and produce so small a part
of what we consume, the railroads
are the great arteries of trade, and not
only control our commercial life but
almO9t our very existence.
Our transportation facilities are an
assured and settled fact. What we
need now to insure our continuous
growth and prosperity is much
larger force of good steady, SUBJ
stantial working men. More manu-
featuring establishments similar to
those we already have that give
employment to men the year round.
We want more wage earnerS, more
consumers, more summer visitors.
The measure of our success depends
on our activity. If we want results
we must work. We can reap only
where we have Sown.
In the year of our Lord, nineteen
hundred and four, the man who gets
the thing is the man who gets after
it. Aggressive alert communities as
we'll as individuals are the winners.
The spirit of municipality like the
life OF man is its own justification
and even the country village, large in
the feeling of its own Importance,
justifieS itself if it be unit to ad-
vance it's own welfare as a whole.
The time for Grand Rapids is ripe.
We know what we want: we must
announce our purpose; we must say it
with sufficient loudnesS and force: we

Whoopins Cough.

lin the spring of 1901 my children
had whooping cough,'' says Mrs. D.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with

coughing spells and cennteracts any
tendency toward pneumonia. For

HAVING SOME FUN.
Alexandria is Getting All Right
Anyway.

When times are dali and there
: nothing doing in Alexandria
they turn Il wild bull loose and
then have some fun. Here is the
way Town Talk tells about it:
West End was made lively
Monday evening by the antics of
a vicious and miscellaneous bull
and many citizens were hutted
down and q City Alderman was
given free ride sitting between
the bulls horns.
The animal was being driven
through the city by Mr.. L. 8.
Burnauan and when at a point
opposite Mr.. sam arshauer's
store on Gould avenue the bull
saw several gentlemen talking
contentedly ON the sidewalk SO
he made for the crowd. As quick
as L lighting flash he struck Mr..
Arthur Adams and knocked him
down. Mr. Warshauer says that
he observed the animal just in
time to exclaim to Mr.. Adams
"Look out.' just as the latter
gentleman wasbeing moved down.
The bull raised his head and saw
Alderman Warshauer leepin G an
iron post between them, SO he
yeered around the post and drove
the Alderman from his position.
and then a chase began. A CIR
Gle was made around into Gould
avenue, and those VINO witnessed
it say that the Alderman was
sitting lightly and gracefully be-
tween the horns of the animal
several times during the circuit.
BY bold and daring effort he
threw himself to one side and let
the bull pass him, taking refuge
behind a large telephone pole.
The animal passed few feet
further and gave a vicious lunge
into the side Of horse which was
hitched near by.
"WhiIe this was in progress
Mr.. I. Well was busily engaged
locking the front doors of the
store TO prevent an entrance
being made. MIR. Warshauer
informed a reporter that he would
much prefer taking a ride on the
wide horned kind than on one
with narrow horns, because there
was less danger Of puncture.
s.The animal then directed his
attention toward 4 crowd over
on Monroe street In east Alex
andria. lie dashed up the street
paying his compliments to Mr..
Rost. Morrow and also Mr.
Davion. The latter gentleman
climbed on top of goods box
just as the bull headed for him.
The box was struck a double
header aud Mr.. Davion jumped
high into the air and the bull
passed under him.
policeman Blessing and
Churchill came up with guns in
their hands and chased the ami
NAL up Seventh street. and when
at safe distance from the crowd
that had gathered, they shot him
