A DAYS OUTING AT
THE CLUB HOUSE

A party of young men consisting of
III. e. Hill, Chas. Kernin, Frank
Schumanski, Harry Martin and Henry
Harner went up the river Thursday
to spend the day 10 fishing and
boating at the club house.
This method of spending a day or
week in boating, fishing and camping
along the picturesque shores Of the
old Wisconse has become very popular
with the people of Grand Rapids, and
in fact with every seeker after health
and recreation. I.
"Gcd made the country. and man
made the town."
Those who spend all their time in
the city have not learned to live so as
to get the most out of life. The
weary city folk must needs have rest.
1t is vitally important that they
should spend a certain time each year
near to Natures heart"-that they
should get out of the ''hurly-burly."
An outing for a day or two, up or
down the beautiful Wisconsin river
instils new life and the joy of being.
The visitor will find that rest which
will send him back to the city with
mind, soul and body refreshed and in
vigorated for another season of work
in the man- made town. The men or
women who spend few months or
weeks of the summer in such heaven
OF rest, in sweet communion with
nature. do more work and better
work within the year. and live longer
and more joyously then those who,
while the dog-star RACES, remain in
the sitting, enervating, superheated
city.
1t is duty that a man owes to his
family and himself, to spend the JOY
time of the year with them in the
country. 1t is a pleasant duty, how
ever, and one which will repay the
doer an hundred fold.

this grand old river. A loveiier spot
than the dells of the Wisconse, or

comparatively speaking for rest, recrea-
tion, relaxation and recuperation
could scarce be found.
They are ideal resting places for
those who wish the summer months
to bring them an abundance of health
and happiness.
fThe pale health seeker findeth here
the wine of life in the pleasant air"
Those who spend summer outing
in some of these delightful hooks,
come back year after year. They find
aSilace here.whichsis filled with the
breath of health and contentment.
They have found in these favored hooks
a bit Of Gods country''sa glory like un-
to that which illumined the poets soul
in his sublimest glimpse of nature:

BIG GOOD ROADS
CONVENTION
State Good Roads Association
to Hold its Annual Conven-
tion in Milwaukee on Tues
day, Sept. 9th.

Preparations are being made for one
OF the biggest Good Roads conventions
ever held in the country. The first
state convention held last year had
nearly two thousand people present
and permanent organization was
formed with Ex-Goy. Hoard as presi-
dent.
This state convention was con-
siderably larger than any of the
National Good Roads gathering that
have been held in many years and
from the interest already manifested
it seems probable that there will be
more delegates present this year than
last.
Every town chairman in the state
has been asked to suggest the names
of prominent farmers in his locality
who will be appointed as delegates.
The State Good Roads Association
is very much interested in the amend
menL to the state constitution which
must be passed by the people in our
November elections before our state
can give state money to aid the
farmers to pay for building roads.
This amendment will doubtless be
very thoroughly discussed.
The committee aims to make the
convention better than the one held
last year. 1t is planned, in so far as
time will permit. to give each dele
gate who desires it an opportunity to
discuss any of the questions under
consideration The meeting will not
be held on the State Fair Grounds as
last year, but in some large hall down
town. The place will be announced
later.

WHY NOT OPEN CROSS ST.
between 1ST AND End SITS.

We understand that the Pomainville
estate has sold the old saloon store
building to a farmer who will tear it
down and use the good material in
building barn upon his farm. This
would be an excellent time to open
street next to the Wipperman property
on land belonging to the Pomainville
estate. A 80 or 40 foot street would be
a great improvement to adjoining
property and great convenience to
the travelling public. Why not have
it done now when the old building is
out of the way. Who will act for the
public good? Mr.. Wipperman will be
glad to do anything he can toward
this end.
