AMONG GLENwooD's many otl

AMONG GLENWOOD' many other
attractions we must not fail to include
her splendid cement sidewalks which
are rapidly becoming more numerous.
These are pleasing to the eye and high
ly serviceable, their enduring qualities,
when properly built, easily recommend
ing them to the property owner over
any other grade of walk. A gentleman
who this week visited Glenwood for the
first time remarked that our people
were not content to depend upon the
unsurpassed beauty which nature had
so freely lavished upon us, but that we
had early planted trees which were now
delight to visitors and that we were
now showing our faith in the future by
building substantial cement walks and
crossings. Such comments from
strangers are surely encouraging.

WE MAY not love President Roose-
welt for the enemies he has made, but
it is entirely possible that many of us
may live to love him for some of his
far-seeing acts, not the least of which
are the provisions against a timber
famine and the promotion of irrigation
in the west.-New Haven Register.

j. R. RAGAN PRESIDENT
Placed at the Head of the I'm.
dertakers Association.

In Milwaukee Friday at the con-
vention of the Michigan and Wiscon-
sin Undertakers and Embalmers AS
sociation, J. r. Ragan of this city
was elected president for the ensuing
year. This election came to Mr..
Ragan, who has been vice president
of the association, in the natural
course of progression. The election is
considered by the members of the as
sociation which he heads as a good
one.
On Wednesday of last week he re-
sponded to the address of welcome OF
Mayor Becker, in speech, portions
Of which were published by the large
milwaukee daily papers. In pa rt Mr..
Ragan said:
cit was formerly the opinion Of the
public that the life of the undertaken
led only to the grave: that he was
always of somber countenance with
serious mien. He was not thought OF
as a skilled professional man. But
today he is recognized both as pro-
fessional man of skill and also COM
forter to the house of the dead. We
have not yet reached the highest
notch, and it is the duty of the un-
dertaker to reach that height volun-
tarily. and not wait for the demands
of the public for him to do So"

DI=NITRO-CELLULOSE
That is the Name of the Latest

said to have invented a compound

industries on 1.-The hummer" Mr..
Plude, according to advice received
from Rhinelander, has concocted a
solution that will preserve ic5 for an
indefinite period, provided it is kept
in just ordinary temperature. The
scientific name of the new invention
is di-nitro-cellulose and it is made of
the waste product of elbow off, of
paper mills 1t can be manufactured
at cost of about Al cents per one
Thousand gallons. Pieces of ice OF
almost any form and size are dehy-
drafted; that is, all the moisture, as
far as possible, is removed by passing
it through a chamber containing lime.
The ice is then dipped into the di-
nitro-cellulose, which atfiXeS a coat
that defieS heat and the destruction
of the ice on the inside. 1t is said
that the solution is impervious to the
attack of heat, electricity or water,
and it is claimed that ice treated fn
this manner could be piled like so
much cord wood in the yard and kept
i'm that way almost indefinitely. A
number of Rhinelander men have
taken up the matter and demonstra-
tion of the value of the invention will
be given at the State fair in Milwau-

BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS
Stange-Ellis Lumber Co.'S. Pro.
perty Appears Well.

Few Grand Rapidspeople appreciate
the improvement that has been made
in the former property of the Grand
Rapids Lumber Co. lying just west of
Grand Avenue, and now owned by the
Stange-E Ellis Lumber Co.
At different times during the sum-
mer, and ever since the transfer of
this property was made to the present
owners, the REPORTER has followed
the work for the benefit of its readers,
but since the buildings have been
completed there has been nothing
mentioned
The little office building which is
located on Grand Avenue is perhaps
one Of the most attractive offices in
the city. 1t is a one story frame
building, with Colonial porch, and
is painted neat and spotless white.
Around the building the ground has
been leveled off and rolled, and has
been seeded down, and it needs no
stretch of imagination to picture the
surroundings when the grass shall
have come up and been well cultured.
The large factory building to the
rear some distance from the office is
also painted white and this is joined
with the new brick powerhouse still
farther TO the rear. The grounds
surrounding all these buildings has
been cleared of the debris, and the
entire site taken as whole presents
very neat and business like appear

A POOR APPLE CROP
The Prices For the Fall and
Winter Will be High.

Reports from all over the country
are to the effect that the apple crop is
not more than half as large as last
year, and that prices will soar to the
skies. Local dealers say the outlook
at least is not bright and that apples
are higher priced than last year. All
fruit crops are short of the average
and all prices are high.
When interviewed on the subject
one of the local dealers said:
"There will be no cheap apples this
fall Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas,
states which usually furnished the
local market with large supplies, will
hardly produce enough for home con-
sumption. The crop in Indiana and
adjoining states is almost total fail
ure, and what fruit is consumed in
this city this year will come from New
York, Canada and Oregon, and the
additional cost of customs duty and
freight will, Of course, be paid by the
consumer, which means high prices
for all apples. Even the crop OF
Apple Tree Barnes, of Waupaca has
been greatly injured and this is quite
factor in the local market"

MEETS AN OLD FRIEND
Rev. Verify and R. W. Lyon Re.
new Acquaintance Formed In
China.

Rev. Verify, the Appleton man,
who has been a missionery to China
for the past seventeen years, spoke at
the Methodist church Sunday evening.
Mr.. Verity's address was very. in
teresting, and much information was
impaired to the large number of
people who gathered to hear him
relate his.experiences in China.
Aside from his talk Mr.. Verify met
several old time friends. Among the
number was r. w. Lyon who was a
member of the famous l4th. Regiment,
of q. s. Regulars, who made Mr..
Veitys acquaintance while with the
q S. Army in the China war. Mr..
Lyon was among the first six men TO
meet and grasp Mr.. Verity's hands dur
ing the siege of Pekin, when the lega-
tioners were freed. Mr.. Verify and
Mr.. Lyon have not meet before
since this experience, and the
meeting of the two men was indeed a
pleasant one Sunday evening"

WHY FRANK JACOBUS
GOT SIX MONTHS

The REPORTER gave an account
last week of the arrival in this
city from Marshfield of one Frank
Jacobus who was sentenced from
Marshfield to six months in the
county Jail. The particulars leading
up to this young mans arrest and in
generation are given in the following
excerpt taken from the Marshheld
News:
Frank Jacobus a young man OF this
city is serving six months sentence
at Grand Rapids for the attempted use
of revolver on Mrs. Thos. Arthur
who resides with her family on farm
near Bakerville. Friday in the spirit
of jealousy Frank went to the place
armed After some words he drew a
revolver and threatened to shoot Mrs.
Arthur as well as a man he found
there. When the war cloud was
finally dismissed Jacobus returned to
this city and on complaint OF Mrs.
Arthur was arrested by Officer Griffin
the same night at the opera house.
At his trial which took place the
| following day he was sentenced TO the
county jail for six months or until he
could furnish bail bond of $500 to
keep the peace.

DOFF YOUR SKY PIECE
And Lay the Straw Lid Away
With the Other "23s."

Lay it away in the attic. Or, if you
bought it early in the summer when
the frost was still upon the ground,
the chances are it has outlived its
usefulness.
At any rate it is no longer proper to
be seen on the streets with that kind
of a lid. So doff it.
The straw hat season is now def
nitely closed. Any one who ventures
out in this regalia should complete
his outfit with highly polished cellu-
loid collar and pale pink necktie
with hand painted embroidery. The
hatters have taken in their signs
'sAny hat in the window, 80 cents
and substituted other alluring pla-
cards calculated to tempt the mascu-
line eye.
The straw hat season was an un-
profitable one for the hatters. The
season opened about August /, and
while there was rush for few days,
a large majority of men figured that
in three weeks the season would be
over, so spent the money for some
thing else equally as conductive to
comfort on hot day.

by immature youths were not in great
