Base Deceiver.

Mr.. Gunner-When Bender's wife
went away to spend a week in the
country he told her that he was going
to spend all of his spare time in the
garden picking cherries.
Mrs. Gunner-Ah, how nice of him!
And is he sticking to his promise?
Mr.. GunnerI should say SO. You
can find him any evening on a root
garden picking cherries out of fancy

GAINED 81 POUNDS
Persistent Ansemia Cured by Of
Williams Pink Pills After Other
Remedies Had Failed.


"When I began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. "'says Mrs. Nathaniel Field
OF st. Albans, Somerset county, Maine
81 was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble anemia.
Ihad spells Of vomiting, could not eat,
in fact, did not dare to, I had such dis.
tress after eating. My stomach was filled
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertiou
made my heart beat so fast that I could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never leftmefor seven weeks. About this
time I had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
t'Nothing had helped me until began
taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
1 had grown worse every day. After /
had taken the pills short time I could
see that they were bene6ting me and
one morning awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and in three weeks I could eat
anything wanted and suffer no incon-
venience. I also slept soundly. I have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained in weight from 100 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly well now"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure ansemia
because they actually make new blood.
For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous
headaches and many forms of weakness
they are recommended even if ordinary
medicines have failed They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt Of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, n. Y.

POULTRY SHOW
is NOW READY

The exhibitors are sending their
poultry to the Grand Rapids Poultry
and Pet Stock Association to be eX-
hibited in the Wood County National
Bank building across from the post
Office.
The consignments are coming with
each train and it is expected that
fully one hundred different exhibitors
will be represented by tonight.
The rooms where the exhibit is being
held is a scene of great activity today,
as there is q great deal OF work at
Jendant upon the proper arrangement
and conduct of such shows.
Already many beautiful birds are
on exhibition and great many of
the owners are expecting to take the
first prizes. From the appearance of
the well kept birds, the uninitiated
might think that the poorest will
Surley win prizes, but it is altogether
possible that a number of the best
looking will fall short Of the points
necessary to win the first markings.
Editor Frank Hech, of the Inland
Poultry Journal, of Chicago, one of
the greatest of American poultry
judges, arrived in this city this morn
ing. His favorable marking will GO a
long way toward the success of the
winners in this show, at the greater
event to be held at a later date in
Chicago, and therefore his connection
with this show has tendance to in
crease the number of exhibitors.

LIBRARY GETS
NEEDED ROOM
City Council Grants E. P. Arpin's
REQUEST For the Library Board.

E. P. Arpin appeared before the city
council Tuesday evening in behalf of
jhe library board, and asked that the
rooms vacated by the Grand Rapids
Business college to be given to the
library for their exclusive use.
In asking for these rooms Mr.. Arpin
explained that the library has been
growing to such an extent that more
room was absolutely imperative. He
stated that there were many govern
ment and state reports that were of
great value to the people at times,
chat should be given shelf room and
so arranged that they could be gotten
at when needed. and that under the
present circumstances could not be SO
arranged. He also stated that there
were endownments to the library that
would soon accrue. that would enable
the purchase of many new and valua-
BILE books, and that room would have
to be provided for these. Another
purpose to which the library could be
put was the encouragement of de-
batting and literary societies for the
students in the public schools. if the
auditorium was available.
The council Immediately granted
the library board the use of these
rooms, and it is the intention of that
board to Immediately proceed with
the fitting up OF the same for the use
of that institution.

We believe that the business men
of Grand Rapids are fully alive to the
fact that we must do something to
encourage and retain the StangEllis
interests in this city. The Grand
Rapids Lumber Co. are practically
through with the use of their saw
mill, planning mill, and other fixtures
connected Herewith. This plant can
be used to great advantage we believe
by Messrs. Stang and Ellis, who have
considerable timber TO cut. They
really ought to own this property, and
we believe that the Grand Rapids
Lumber Co. are willing to sell. The
only question is the price or value of
the plant. May they come together
and agree upon a satisfactory price
which will insure the continuation of
this large plant in our midst, is the
sincere wish of the REPORTER.
Mr. and Mrs. Ellis have an elegant
home here. and are nicely settled and
are thoroughly well liked by the
people of Grand Rapids and we want
them to stay here. Lets all do what
we can to keep them here.

The Milwaukee Free Press Tuesday
morning presented the cuts and two
short statements of the two candi-
dates most prominently mentioned
for the presidency OF the state
Teachers Association. One of theSe
was NJ. FL. Jackson, principal OF ths
County Training school for Wood

This announcement is pleasing to
Mr.. Jackson's many friends in Woo
county, While we know that he il
not an active candidate for the posi-
tion his many friends here are pleased
to know that the teachers AT large
recognize in him the excellent
qualities that would make goot
president of that association. While
we know nothing of Mr.. McIver. OF
Oshkosh, who is also mentioned fol
that place, we do know that the as
ISOLATION could look a long time fol
better m aterial than that possessed
by NJ. III. Jackson.

pleted.
The prompt action of the common

prove to be everything that Doctor
Haryie expects.

Second State Convention OF A.
S. OF E. will be Held at that
Time.
In JANUARY

The programs for the second annual
state meeting of the American Socie
ty of Equity, which will be held in
this city January $40, 1907, have been
issued, and judging from the speakers
provided for this occasion, the meet
ing will be the most successful in the
brief history of this association.
This society for the past two years
has been attracting great deal of
attention among the rural districts,
not only of this state, but of the ma
ton at large. AS we understand it,
the object of the association is to
band the farmers together for the
purpose of getting reasonable price
for their products, and prevent the
exactions of the middle man. Several
of these societies have been organized
in this county during the past year.
