Suddenly it occurred to Milford
that he would give more for one OF
those old-fashioned strawberry short
cakes than for anything else he could
think of. A vision of his boyhood
days rose in his mind and he could
fairly smell and taste the rfch. red
mess. Then he realized, with start,
the fact that he was listening. and
he turned to move on.
The door burst open and the young
man burst into the hall with q small
pitcher in his hand, evidently going for
some milk.
Milford again caught the aroma Of
and desperate resolution.

without offense, suggest that would
feel it a great personal favor 1t you
would permit me to furnish the neces-
sary ingredients and to have share in
the feast. I haven't had a decent
strawberry shortcake for 20 years."
The young man flushed holly, but
before he could speak Milford went
on:

offer to assist you. It II 4 proposition
Of which I am to be the 4hief benflci-

way which had helped him In SO many
deals.
The young mans face cleared and he
replied: "Au right, sir: I'll take you At
your word. Come on and gel the stun
and we'll give Mabel surpr1s.."
So presently Milford found himself
shopping industriously. He insisted
on getting the biggest and finest ber-
ries, and in the most unheard-of guam
tity. Then he insisted on getting a
quantity of the finest butter, and .
sack of the most fragrant coffee. and
other things as he saw them. As they
went back to the apartment, loaded
with bundles, Milford smiled Ut the
thought Of the picture he presented.
He had learned during the shopping
that the young mans name was Mill

was his sister. Left orphans without

Some of those who are opposed to
the election of Judge Webb to the
United States senate, or are at least
in favor of some other candidate, mo
one questions his qualifications are
claiming that he is not eligible to the
position because he holds the office of
judge. Away back in the early 7O's,
after Geo. w. Cate had been made
the Democratic nominee for congress,
he at that time being judge of this
circuit, those of us who were opposed
on political grounds, to his election,
raised the same point against him
that is now being raised against Judge
Webb. We all argued long and very
wisely and clearly pointed out how
the constitution of the commonwealth
of Wisconsin would be violated and
outraged by the election of judge tc
the Office of congressman. In spite OF
these terrible forebodings, however
the Judge went down to Washington
and congress admitted him without
question. 1t will be the same il

PAY HIM A VISIT

Nature is not putting on very
many frills in honor of the coming
holidays the woods and fields present
the appearance of a bleak brown
barron land, but if you will visit the
green house of w. L. Scott you will
find that he has made ample prepara-
tion for the holidays. Mr.. Scott states
that his green house is in better
shape than it has ever been before.
His carnations are certainly Sight,
as he has more than 400 plants and
over 1900 buds in sight. OF Easter
lilies he is we'll supplied having over
40 jars. He also has more than SO jars
of Roman and Dutch HyancinthS and
500 FreesiSS ready for Christmas. His
display of 100 jars of asparagus fern
is we'll worth trip to the green
house to look over. Then he has
more than 500 varieties that would be
difficult to name of ferns, shrubs and
flowers. This large green house is
kept in temperature of 70 in the day
time and so at night as the flowers
must have the same opportunity for
sleep that we enjoy. Taking it all
around it is very pleasant trip and
Mr. Scott will do what he can to make
it pleasant for you.

AT THE CONGRE=
GATIONAL CHURCH

The east side ladies' aid society are
being congratulated on their success
Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Their sale and supper given at the
Congregational church was not only
we'll planned but we'll patrOniZed. 1t
was success from every standpoint
and the success came not by chance.
Like everything else Of it's kind in
hard work, and many of the tired
workers at the end of the evening
were we'll deserving of a few days
rest. The best feature connected
with this sale and supper was the
united effort and friendly feeling on
the part of the ladies to work entirely
in harmony to bring about this result.
The supper is deserving of special
notice. 1t was superintended by Mrs.
Geo. r. Gardner and of course we eX-
pected it to be good, but she was
ably assisted by many willing workers.
The sale was very much after its kind
held 10y this organization in past
years. 1t represented many novelties
as we'll as great many useful articles
very appropriate for Christmas
presents. Nearly everything was
out and seemingly at fair price.
The candy booth Was we'll patronized
and did it's full share toward swelling
the evenings receipts. More than S106
were received by the ladies and about
$50 suppers served. The social
features of the gathering was very
pleasant and appreciated by all, but
we are inclined to thiuk that it will
need a full years rest before the
ladies will be over anxious to repeat
this experience.

A NEW RECORD
From so to IS Tons of Paper
Per Day.

The Consolidated Water Power &
Paper Company has caught the spirit
of the times and speed is one of their
first requirements. Steam was too
slow and electricity king of the
twentieth century, was harnessed to
their larger paper machines. The Sc
machines we're manufactured to
develop a capacity of twenty five tons
of paper each day with speed of 425
feet per minute. But as a result of
using electric power, which is more
flexible and easier to control than any
other, these machines have been
gradually increased in speed until $50
feet per minute has been maintained
for eight hours without break in
the paper. This week these two
mammoth machines have turned out
as high as &c ton Of paper per day.
Each machine produces as trip of
trimmed paper 10 feet wide and from
500 to $50 feet per minute. Any
appliance that will add 25 per cent to
the capacity of a machine is we'll
worth looking to. In this day and
age when men. as we'll as machines,
are worked to their full capacity, or
little beyond, we are sometimes led to
stop and ask, what the limit is any,
way? 1t is, however, not only the
paper mills that are being improved
by adopting electric power, but it is
found that all machine shops and
wood working shops will turn out
much more work with electric power
than with steam, as electric power is
applied direct to each machine. The
day has apparently forever gone by for
us to imagine that water power gri>t
mill will turn out better grade of
flour than any other. This, however,
was the universal opinion thirty years
ago. 1t looks now as though electric
ity in time is doomed to act
prominent part in the little city of
Grand Rapids.

FOR GREATER
GRAND RAPIDS
An Opportunity For Local Pa
triotism=A Chance For Citizens
And Businessmen to Advertise
Their Town.

There will soon be printed from
this office 10000 copies of an eight
page folder setting forth briefly and
generally the advantages of Grand
Rapids as place in which to live and
do business. The printing and Cir
culating of these folders is the initial
step in an aggressive advertising
campaign, which will be conducted in
the cause of Greater Grand Rapids.
We want more factories, more wage
earnerS, more consumers, more sum-
mer visitors. The measure of our
success depends upon our own activity.
If We want results we must work.
We can reap only where we have
SOWn.
Communities are but the natural
and visible reflection Of their CITIZEN
ship. The growth and advancement
of any city is dependent entirely upon
it's men and women.
These folders are not elaborate or
expensive but they are neat and at
tractive and they contain facts and
figures which Will appeal favorably to
any business man. In addition to the
practical descriptive information
presented the folder will have a map
of Grand Rapids showing the river
and the different lines of railroad.
They are of suitable size and weight
to go without extra postage in an
ordinary envelope, aud it is in this
manner that it is proposed TO dis
tribute them through the country.
Merchants and citizens are asked to
secure few at least and send them
out in all their outgoing first class
mail. You can show your willingness
to cooperate in this forward move
ment by making application for the
folder to Theodore Lipke, Chairman
of the Committee on printing and
advertising for the Grand Rapids
Advancement Association,
