WHY NOT ENFORCE
TOBACCO LAW
New Statute Prohibits the use
of Tobacco by Boys and also
Prohibits Persons From Per-
mitting Boys to Smoke on
Premises.

There was law passed at the
last session OF The legislature which
has never been given much publicity
in Grand Rapids and in this section
of the state. yet it deals with a con-
dition that is prevalent here, 1t is in
substanca a further restriction on the
use of tobacco but does not deal with
cigarettes alone. This law prohibits
absolutely boy under the age of Is
using tobacco in any form, the only
exception being provided for in case
wherein the boy is accompanied by a
parent or guardian who sanctions the
use of tobacco
One thing in the new law is inter-
esting. The person who allows a boy
to smoke on his premises is made
equally guilty with the boy and can
be fined the same as the boy This
part of the law was provided to pre-
vent boys from habituating a den or
gathering place in which to indulge in
the habit.
The law is not lengthy and the two
sections of chapter 463, relating to the
matter, are given herewith.
youths under Is: public smoking
forbidden. Section 4608 v. Every
person under The age of sixteen years
who shall smoke or use cigarettes.
cigars or tobacco on any public road,
in any public place of business or
amusement. except when in the COM
pany of parent or guardian, shall be
punished by fine of not more than
ten dollars or by imprisonment for not
more than exceeding thirty days.
premise owners who permit smok
ing; penalty. Section 46OS n. Any
person who shall permit any person
under the age of sixteen years who
shall not be in the company of a
parent or guardian TO use cigarettes,
cigars or tobacco in any form in or up
on premises occupied by him, shall be
punished by the first offense by fine
of not more than ten dollars and for
any subsequent offense by fine of not
more than twenty-five or by imprison-
ment for not exceeding thirty days. "
Why not enforce this law in our own
city, and do away with the pesky
nuisance of boys of in mature years
smoking cigars and cigarettes on our
streets and in public places?

ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT
AND BATTERY

Three Indians known as, Red Eagle,
Frank Day and Chess Brown. were
brought here Thursday evening by De-
putty Sheriff Emmett Ward of Bah
cock. 1t appears that the three In
dians.had been imbibing too freely of
whiskey and were all drunk on the
roadway below Babcock on Thursday.
Messrs Emmett Ward and Frank
Lacey we're on the road coming to Bah
cock with several head Of horses.
When they reached the point where
the In ians lay drunk on the road side
the horses were frightened and one
horse trailing behind the others re-
canted and started down the road.
Frank Lacey ran back to head off the
horses and did so. On his return with
the horse the Indians commenced to
parley and show a desire for trouble.
They found it. Emmett Ward who is
deputy sheriff attempted to arrest
them and did but not until he and
Mr.. Lacey were quite badly bruised in
the fracas.

HORACE McFARLANDS
LECTURE WAS excellent

The Methodist church building
was not crowded Wednesday even
ing to hear Horace McFarlandS lecture
upon the subject of Crusade Against
UglineSS' as it should have been. We
are glad that large number did avail
themselves of this opportunity for the
lecture was one of the best ever de.
livered on the subject of civic improve
ments in this city. Mr.. Mcfarland
was scholarly and presented his SUBJ
ject so clearly and interesting that
his audience did not realize that he
had spoken for two hours. Els talk
was illustrated with the use of slides
showing scenes in various cities of the
country. as we'll as some from this city.
The suggestion he made about local
improvements and information he
gave his hearers will prove OF lasting
benefit. Mr.. Mcfarland convinced
his audience that he was familiar with
his subject and master OF it, Such ad-
dresses are of great value and act as a
stimulus to our citizens to continue
their efforts in making Grand Rapids
more beautiful.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1908-06-18

their methods, Mr.. Mcfarland said:
II would not doubt the word of any
ordinary business man, neither would
| believe the statement Of any ordi-
nary bill board man."
Mr.. Mcfarland says that the higher
courts of any states, notably Cali
fornia. have sustained decisions that
bill boards are nuisances, and under
the common law it has been proven
that the bill board companies are in
the wrong in most of their contentious.
1.-THE bill boards certainly should be
made to bear their just part of the
taxes. If d man has an unimprOved
lot and he erectS bill boards upon it.,
it still is taxed as unimproYed
property. If he erects useful struc-
ture, Immediately his taxes are in
creased and his property is counted as
| improved. This is manifest injus-
tice. The bill boards should pay
their part of the burden of taxation
because they are pernfcious source
of income.

ADVERTISING CHAT

Advertising well is like planting
good corn-it brings golden returns.
The advertisements and bits of pub.
licity that 60 into the waste basket
are like the proyerbial clock in the
insane asylum-it's not all right or it
wouldn't be there.
One argument won't convince all
the people-kesp arguing.
1t Is the short cut in advertising
that leads to the bog-keep on the
well beaten highway.
Advertising like powder on a girls
face, should be evenly spread
Dishonest advertising is the leprosy
of trade-it's the other fellow who
does it.
No amount of advertising pool
things will build up lasting business
the reading public know thing or
two.
The fact that so many men of No
II brains are advertising, should in
itself set the man with a No. brain
to thinking.
Advertising is like fishing-lucs
counts for something, but it is the
bait that gets the most bites,
The man who says that advertising
doesn't pay always looks it.
A cheerful temperament is the most
valuable stock merchant can carry

ADVERTISING LOST

So Many That Impressions are

"Tle advertising effect of bill

Horace Mcfarland, president of the

afternoon while guest at luncheon

committee. newspapers and per-
sonal canvassers and campaigns Eare

a parasite on other forms of adyertiS-

bill board companies claim credit.
"The tremendous multiplicity of

If there were but one bill board in a
block the mind would carry away
some impression on it. When there

of any is gained. People pass by with

Bill Boards are Nuisances.
In speaking of claims made by bill
