LABOR DAY is SLIGHTED

The laboring men in Grand Rapids
are little tardy in taking advantage
of day set apart especially for them.
Amigo celebrated Labor day for the
first time in their history and in most
cities of our size in the state and
nation Labor Day was observed. In
no other country under the sun can be
found the same recognition of the
sons of toll. In no other country is
labor so honored: in no other country
is it SO well paid; and in no other
country does it live as well or enjoy
the same privileges under the law as
it does in the United States.
So long as labor continues "sane
and sensible, y organization will be a
benefit to it, but not otherwise.
Organized labor cannot afford to be
arrogant or unreasonable in it's de-
mandS, and it should resolve to cease
useless and fretful agitation and
devote itself rather to internal
improvement than to external tumult.
Ii part of the time wasted in strikes
was devoted to a betterment of the
intellectual and moral welfare of
organized labor along educational and
social lines, for the elevation of the
masses. it would do more good for
itself and for society than it is now
doing. This is one Of the Important
questions to which labor ought to
give it's chief attention, as it means
much for its future good and influence
as factor in national affairs. Or
ganized labor ought to set for itself
higher ideals than it does at present.
The present butchers strike in
Chicago show the need of them.

HOUSTON-P N-PRITCHARD

CLEANED the following item of news:
"Miss Lorena Houston was married
late this afternoon to Mr.. J. A.
Pritchard, welI-known engineer of
Tacoma, at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. A. Weaver, 26O9 Sixth avenue.
The ceremony, which took place at
4 O'Clock, was performed by Rev.
Edward 81. Todd, of Epworth M. E.
church, and was witnessed only by a
few intimate friends of the bride and
groom. The bride was unattended
and wore her travelling gown, a hand
some tailor-made tan cloth, with hat
of the same color. Following the
ceremony light collation. was served
to the wedding party, and Immediately
afterwards the bride and groom left
for wedding trip to Victoria. They
will reside in Tacoma upon Their
return"
Miss Lorena Houston is the second
daughter of Mrs. Lydia Houston of
this city. We join with her many
friends in this city in congratulations
and a sincere wish that their future
life may be successful and happy.

THE COMING WINTER

In a social way the past season has
been a noted one in our city, in the
number, variety and elegance of it's
entertainments. But the coming
winter bids fair to be from a social
standpoint not only better than
the summer but better than any
winter that Grand Rapids ever eX-
perienced. The people of the city are
in better condition to enjoy social
advantages than they have ever been
before. There is united feeling and a
nearneSs that is foreign to some towns
of our size. A course of entertain
ments to be given by the Slayton
Lyceum Bureau commencing the last
of October will be the best ia the
history of the city. Taking it all
around there is much to look
ahead for and anticipate in the
coming winter.

THE CRANBERRY
AND THE INDIAN

There are fifteen hundred people
picking cranberries on the marshes in
this county and of this number, but
one hundred of them are Indians, but
few years ago the entire crop or
nearly so was picked by Indians. 1t
was not water on the marshes that
caused this change, but fire water.
Women and children have proved the
best help for harvesting this crop.
The picking began last Monday and
will last about three weeks.
The berry is somewhat inferior to
former years in size, but in flavor and
keeping qualities it will compare
favorable with other years. They
are however being picked greener
than usual as the season has been an
uncommon late one, the frost on
August 8, reduced the crop about ene
cranberry in this state thousands Of
bushels of wild berries were gathered
each year. These were picked largely
by Indians and earlier by half breeds.
At one time there were three thou
sand of the latter scattered over the
north and northwest and the industry
at one time was second only to the
fur industry that Wood county is
especially adapted to. The cultivation
of the crop is self evident. The larger
part of the crop in this county will
not be sold at present.

FRENZIED FINANCE

The news dealers ct Grand Rapids
are not the only ones that have
experienced difficulty in supplying the
demand for everybody's magazine.
Frenzied Finance, by Thos. W. Law
son, of Boston, purporting to expose
the methods of the Standard Oil Com
pany in the famOuS-or Infamous
"Amalgamated Copper" deal they
turn light of publicity upon the
secret workings of that gigantic and
mysterious organization, and if true,
they are wonderfully instructive, and
even if they are imaginary, they are
marvelously interesting. That man
should dare to write such things un-
less he has incontrovertible proof as
to the accuracy of every statement is
Incredible; that publisher should be
found with sufficient courage to print
them even if he was satisfied as to
their correctness is equally remark
able Mr. Lawson is vivid and
picturesque writer. His true history
reads like fiction. He had made
$50, 900 and lost it before he was seven
teen years old. He makes money
furiously and then tries to spend it
before he can lose it. He has written
many articles and books before this,
and is genius as inventor. But while
he was making inventions and writinp
articles and poking his finger into
every mud pie on the continent he
was still Boston broker. finding his
main vocation in the stock market.
In March 1899 in four days specula-
tion in sugar he made one million
dollars. But the suction pipes through
which Mr.. Lawson draws money to-
ward him in number to the blowpipes
through which he watts it away from
him. He is not sport, though a
sportsman.
These articles cannot fail to interest
and faScinate every man or woman
who is interested in writing as a pro-
fession. They are models of clear,
forceful, nervous use Of English. The
news dealers here in Grand Rapids
have received more than one hundred
extra copies OF this magazine yet the
only way Of securing one today is to
borrow it as there are none in the
market.

THE OLD LAND MARKS

In the past few months many of the
old residents of this and adjoining
counties have passed away, they were
men who helped blaze the way for
civilization along the Wisconsin river.
As the years roll on and the country
becomes older. the old land marks, so
to speak, many of them valuable and
all of them interesting, have a ten
dency to pass away and may become
forgotten. The characteristics of the
men and women who have made local
history, and also their very names
soon leave the minds of even those
associated with them, to say nothing
of the oncOming generations, who
either were not then living or who
moved into the country after the
former things had passed away.

CONCERNING SUBSCRIBERS


Some newspaper subscribers often
wonder why publisher keeps on
sending the paper when the sub
scription has expired. An exchange
says the reason is this: When the sub
scrlption paid to certain time ex-
pires. and the paper is stopped, it
looks as if the editor is suspicious Of
the subscriber and In nine cases out of
ten the subscribers will give the
publisher calling down for insin-
uating that his credit is not good.
Rather than cast any reflections
against a neighbor's dishonesty to pay
a small debt it has become customary
for country newspapers to continue
sending the paper after the time has
expired. The city weeklies and dailies
do not generally follow this rule, as
their subscribers are at distance, and
besides. they are not acquainted with
them and do not know their financial
standing. One should deem it an honor
to know that his credit is not doubted
when the publisher continues to send
the paper. Should the subscriber desire
to have his paper discontinued he
should inform the publisher and remit
to date, II any amount is owing.

Wearing Old Clothes.

''Now why, is this?" said a pretty
girl who likes nice things, but hasn't
money enough to buy as she would
like. "My gloves are all worn out, SO
that there are holes In all the finger
tips, and Pm positively ashamed to
wear them, and buy new pair. But
when I've got the new pair keep on
wearing the old ones, and wear them
then without being ashamed of them
at all. "Now, why is this? Well, l
suppose it's on account Of the moral
support get from the new gloves I'm
saving up at home. The people l meet
may think, just as they did before,
that the old gloves are the best I've
got. but l know better. could wear
just as good as anybody, now, if 1
wanted to, and 50 l trot right along
without worrying, wearing the old.
"And it's just the same about any
thing else. II you've got good things
you're not ashamed to wear old ones.
"I've worn skirt until it was SO
shabby that it was disgrace to ap-
pear on the street in it, and then
bought new one and hung it up in
the closet and kept on wearing the old
one and feeling just as clipper as could
be in it: and I've known other girls to
do just the same thing.
"If you haven't got the things you're
miserable; but il you have got them,
you can wear what you like"

THE PAST SUMNER

The season just closed has been one
of the best ever experienced in the
Wisconsin Valley. 1t has also been "a
good summer for Grand Rapids and
for the entire nation but have we
improved it as we should. have we
accomplished all we had planned?
Are we satisfied with the results?
The summer is the best time to pro-
vide against winter in many ways.
Every body is comparatively rich dur
ing the months of green and gold.
Out Of those riches one should save
enough to buy his winter fuel and
clothing and groceries and other
material blessings.
But coal and clothing and groceries
are not all of life. There is the heart
to be warmed as well as the fingers
and toes, a mind to be clothed as well
as body, and an imagination to be
fed as we'll as stomach.
