JUST ABOUT POTATOES.

The crop in the Red River valley
will be about two-thirds of a crop.
The outlook in Michigan continues
TO be very bright for big crops, with
prices low. The acreage in Minnesota
is about eleven per cent greater than
last year. Reports from Virginia are
that the crop will be lighter than
usual. Shipping has begun in Maine
and the business is good. In
Connecticut farmers are complaining
because they Can get SO little a bushel
for them, and a report from Texas
says that the heavy rain after an
extended drouth has materially hurt
the potatoes. Utah will haye about
one fourth as large a crop as usual.
Iowa crop is bringing about % cents
and reports from Ohio are quite
favorable. The potato crop of Oregon
is light and prices high. The crop in
Washington is about one-half Of last
years. In spite of damage come by
blight the potato crop in New York
will be a good one. The Chicago
market has been unsatisfactory of
late, because OF a steady decline.
The Michigan crop is very good this
year. Digging will commence about
the first OF the month in earnest.

Captain Decorah were easily the
leading all around men. Decorah was
the life OF his team, which, it must
be admitted, is one OF the best
disciplined teams Of its class any
where.
Grand Rapids won the toss and
chose to defend the west goal and the
Indians kicked off. Grand Rapids
returned the ball ten yards and after
few good plays, fumbled and an
Indian fell on the ball. Then it
looked as though the Reds would
surely make a touchdown for with
continual line plunges they advanced
the ball dangerously near the locals
goal but they were penalized ten
yards for off side play and then failed
to make first down and ball goes to
Grand Rapids on their own five yard
line.
The locals played several line plays
and advanced the ball ten yards but

fumbled and the Whites captured it.

WORK FOR GRAND RAPIDS

Did you ever stop to think that a
town is about what the people who
live in it are willing to make it?
Grand Rapids has grown and is the
city 1T is because some citizens have
been loyal and progressive. 1t will
grow far more and be much better
known outside of Wood county when
every man, woman and child who
claims Grand Rapids as home wakes
up to the fact that he or she can help
build it. There is no better advertis-
ment for a town than loyal citizen.
Ii every person living in Grand
Rapids will make it point to talk
Grand Rapids at every opportunity we
will soon see results. When you get
out of town tell your friends all about
Grand Rapids. Tell them of our
beautiful trees, our clean streets, our
low death rate, what a good manu-.
featuring town it is and every other
good thing you can think of. Don't
knock on Grand Rapids to anyone
but make it point to tell of all the
towns good points.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1904-10-04
REASONABLY SURE

From all over the state comes the
same story Of the rising tide Of
La Toilette sentiment. AS the
campaign progresses we predict this
will be even more pronounced. Voters
that have been somewhat Indifferent
in the past are awaking to the fact
that there is in this fight more than
the mere election OF governor. The
system spoken of by Lincoln Steffins
in McClure's Mag-zine-or Big Busi-
ness in Bad Politics is on trial not
only here but in Missouri, Illinois and
other places. The interest aligned to
defeat La Toilette are trying to befog
the issue by abuse and misrepresen-
tation. But this will not avail. The
truth is the people are beginning to
do their own thinking. Party lines
are not so strong as they once were,
"My party right or wrong" is no
longer of magic influence over the
voter. So this fall, as two years ago,
republican and democrats will stand
together in support Of the governor
just as surely as democrats will be as
sisted by so-called republicans to COM
pass his defeat. But La Follette's IS
election is no longer debatable it is
assured and enough of his supporters
have been dominated to both houses
of the legislature to insure support
for the republican platform by the
next legislature if the voters do their
duty and let none fall by the way
side.-Ex.

MUST PROCEED WITH CARE

1t is a hopeful condition when ths
people are keenly responsive to de
mands for the correction of any
abuses in public affairs, or the safe
guarding of rights and duties. Peri
to our institutions is near when such
| demands can be treated lightly. The
| republican party never does so treat
them. 1t may not always move fast
enough to satisfy the eager spirits OF
some of us, but it always moves, and
moves in the right direction, and
moves with care and wisdom that
never leave necessity for retreat. 1t
will do so in the matter which oc-
cupies first place of interest in the
discussion of the present Wisconsin
campaign, the nomination of candi-
dates by direct primary vote. Some
of US think that plan should be
adopted at once, for all offices, and
are confident of its value to cure evils
which self-interest on one hand and
popular Indifference on the other
sometimes develop.
So we differ in theory of procedure
toward common aim, the Attain
ment of the best conditions and the
greatest security against possible
abuses in selecting candidates for
Office. AS republicans we are men,
bers of one family, having common
interests and mutual aims; and the
consensus Of our differing views as to
the method of attaining those will
surely be the wise and safe conclusion
on which we shall all finally agree.
1t has been so in the past. When as
citizens of a common country we
differ upon questions of public policy,
and we cannot fully or Immediately
establish the theories that appeal to
us. We know that nowhere else may
conditions so good be found. Just so
we as republicans know that in no
other party can we find any such hope
of attainment Of our best ideals in
government: and when we have some
times sought to do that, and have
helped the democracy into power in
hope of such ends, the results have
always been disastrous. We have
proved that true in both state and
nation, and we are not going to repeat
it either.

WHY NOT?

In the spring time we celebrate
Children's Day with spring blossoms,
merry songs and childish sermons,
and what could be more appropriate
than in the autumn to observe a day
for those in the autumn of life, while
the gaily hued leaves denote work
done, and life nearly ended, but still
more beautiful than ever. A service
especially for aged people, would be
just as appropriate as services especi-
ally for. the children.
Old patriot Time must feel some-
thing OF rage and remorse at his
accumulated failures to receive
recognition along this line. One Of
the best days in our churches in the
whole year is Childrens Day. If the
churches of Grand Rapids would only
adopt a custom OF setting apart a
Sabbath this time of the year for the
old people it would soon become one
of general interest, for the old people
are certainly entitled to as much
recognition as the children, why not?

Donald's place and play resumed.
Nimtz got the ball and tucked it

brilliant dash around right end ran
forty yards for touchdown and then
he added to his laurels by kicking

Indians kicked off to locals twenty
yard line and Nimtz returned bah
five yards. Ball advanced two or
three yards through the line and after
two or three more yards Tomah held
the locals for downs and got the ball
on Grand Rapids forty yard line.
After a play or two the Indians made
a left end run of fifteen yards but
fumbled shortly on Grand Rapids
seventeen yard line. After an
exchange Of fumbles the Indians get
ball on locals twenty yard line. After
few line plays on tackle the Indians
by fierce playing showed over for
touchdown and Captain Decorah
kicked goal making the score 1925 in
favor Of Grand Rapids.
Grand Rapids kicks to Indians
eight yard line and Decorah returns
ball to fifteen yard line. Here after
five yard gain Goggins hurdles the
Indian line and takes the ball on
Indians twenty yard line but another
tumble lost the ball to the Indians.
Then comes the ferceSt of the
Indians battle. A right end play
netted twenty yards and the Indian
captain made ten yards more. More
fierce playing followed and the
Indians advanced the ball thirty
yards more when time was called
with the ball in possession of the

THE BOY OR THE PUP

II man had $50 pup he would
look after it carefully and not let it
run all over town. But if he has a
boy it is different. He is turned
loose at a tender age and let go to the
devil. The people wonder where the
great army of tramps, loafers, dead
beats and sOtS come from in each
decade. They are terminated from
the pure seed gathered from our
homes and thrown broadcast upon the
streets and alleys. 1t may be your
boy is starting in that direction. At
all events the boy ought to be given
the same chance as the pup.-Selected.

A PULL ALL TOGETHER.

Let everybody pull together for
some scheme or enterprize for the
general good Of Grand Rapids.
People may differ as to the merits Of
this, that, or the other proposition
for the general good, but there can be
no honest difference Of opinion upon
the proposition that Grand Rap ids
needs some better system OF food
distribution than it has now, in order
to make the cost of living lower and
put this city upon an equal basis with
ether cities in the State, SO far as
cost of food is concerned. 1t is
believed by 80 per cent Of the people
of Grand Rapids that a public market
place, conveniently located, is the
proper solution of the problem OF
cheaper living, and it is up to the
city council to say whether the
experiment shall be made.

RED MEN SCALPED
Grand Rapids High Captures a
Closely Contested Game from
the T0mah Indians.

On Saturday afternoon in as tiercely
contested game of football ,from
start to fiaiSn as has been witnessed
at the fair grounds for long while.
Grand Rapids defeated the Tomab
Indians in two twenty minute halves
by scure OF II to 6. The game
showed what fair officials, well con-
trOlled teams, and an appreciative
crowd will do for a contest. It was
clean game from beginning to end.
The entire Grand Rapids team
deserve much cIedlt for their gentle
manly attitude throughout the game,
and in the way they played against
superior weight and the fierce Indians
backs.
The special features Of the game
were the ninety-five yard run by
Mcdonald, the forty-five yard run by
Njmtz, both for touchdowns, and
the all around playing Of Podawiltz.
For the visitors, S. Coleman and
