PLEASANT EVENING
Federated Ladies Entertained
Large Number at Progressive

We had the pleasure of a trip We'd
nesday evening, Aug. p, down Third
Ave. in this city, stopping at the
homes of E. NJ. Pease, T. E. Mullen,
D. D. Conway, c. Hamilton and E.
W. Ellis. The trip was an exceedingly
pleasant one. 1t was attended with
a variety of color, delicate and inter
esting in taste, and very interesting
and pleasing in a social way.
The decorations at each place, and
the inviting appearance of the lawns
lighted with electric lights, gave each
place that air of charm and comfort
that was restful and inviting to the
guests who made this trip. The
ladies were very cordial in their re-
ception at each point on the Journey,
and the refreshments were certainly
more than any one would expect. 1t
all represented great deal of work
and pains on the part of those mem
bers of the Woman'S Federation, who
are doing every thing in their power
to make Grand Rapids more beautiful
and attractive. The Ladies are all
certainly entitled to great credit for
the interest they manifest in pre-
pairing excellent entertainment for
the accumulation of money to be
used in such noble purpose. We
hope that they viii be well rewarded
in a financial way for the effort and
successful outcome of the trip
down Third street.

Notes of 1.-The Game"

Sunday was a beautiful day and
1900 fans visited the ball ground.
The local lads were crippled and
tired after Saturdays game.

Fox Lake has a good jolly bunch OF
players.
"Rube" ByerS has pitched two no.
hit-no-run games in seven days.

There is very little satisfaction in
winning a game like the Ripon game,
but there was a whole lot of credit
due even the lOoserS in the Fox Lake

GAME WARDEN is BESIEGED
Hunters From All Over the
State Inquire About Chicken
Law.


Many inquiries are reaching the
Office of State Game Warden Stone
regarding the open season for the
hunting of prairie chickens and other
upland birds. The last legislature
considerably changed this section of
the game laws, cutting down the
number of counties in which this
class of game may be hunted and
changing the open season to later in
the year. This latter change is not
to the convenience of the hunters so
much as for the advantage of the
game, for it will allow the young
birds time to be reared and will
prevent destruction of whole coveys
of the game.
The open season for Woodcock.
partridge, plover and snipe is the
months of September, October and
November.
In number of counties the hunt
ing of prairie chickens is permitted
during the first fifteen days of Octo-
Der. In all other counties of the
state the hunting or killing of prairie
chicken, prairie hen or grouse of any
variety is prohibited all the year
round until the first off September,
1915. The counties in which prairie
chicken may be hunted during the
first fifteen days of October are:
Buffalo, Chippewa, Clark, Dodge,
Crawford, Dunn, Grant, Eau Claire,
Iowa, Jackson, Juneau, Lafayette,
Marquette, Monroe, Pepin, Polk. Por-
tage, Richland, Rusk, Sawyer. St.
CroiX, Vernon, Washburn, Waushara
and Wood.
The killing of any Monaghan,
Chinese or English pheasant or quail
is prohibited by the law until Oct. 1,
1915.
The penalty for violation of any
| feature of this law is fine of 500 to
$50, or jail sentence of twenty to
sixty days.

NEW STYLE OF WOMEN'S
SHOES COMING IN FALL

A Grand Rapids shoe dealer who
knows what to look for in the latest
things in foot wear had the following
to say concerning the coming styles
in fall footwear for women:
No particular changes in styles of
footwear are found so far as lasts are
concerned. One of the novelties in
fall boots for women is one that laces
on the side. When on the foot it
gives much more pleasing effect as
the surface over the instep is I'M
broken.
Another novelty in women's shoes
is patent leather with ooZe leather
uppers. This shoe is made in button
style, but not in lace. In pumps one
of the most striking styles is patent
leather with high heel covered with
red sheep leather
Grand Rapids is becoming quite an
objective point for tOurius, or parties
living in near by cities, who own auto

out A strange machine making the
rounds of the city, and in many cases
the parties they usually bring stop

of interest. Grand Rapids has been
decidedly on the map this past year
and there is scarcely a day passes
that some item does not appear in
the large papers of the state, calling
the attention of their readers to the
county seat of Wood county. This
naturally awakenS interest in the city
