BANANO DEMONSTRATION
AT COHEN BROS.

Miss NJ E. Kehoe, a representa-
tive of the Banana Food Products
Co., of Chicago, held a public dem
onstration on the value and health
fulness of Banana coffee at the Co
hen Bros department store Mon
day and Tuesday of this week. Every
body was cordially welcome to at
tend this demonstration and to par
take of this delicious and healthful
drink A representative of the Re-
porter staff, happening to have oc-
casion to call at Cohen Bros store
this morning, was asked by the
young lady in charge of the demon
stration to sample this drink. All
we can say in regard to it is that
we consider it a first-class substi-
tute for coffee, and that in time
no doubt will replace the latter as a
universal beverage.

TROUT SEASON
OPENS APRIL IS

If you should happen to wake up
some morning at early dawn and
see a dark crouching form in your
back yard, don't try to inject a dose
of rock-salt into him with your old
muzzle-loader shot gun, because he
isn't member of a Black-hand organ
zation and the object in his hand
which you can dimly see by the faint
light of the approaching presence of
"Old Sol," isn't a bomb, but just an
ordinary tomato can half full of
angle worms, and the dark figure is
one of your neighbors, whom you
saw the evening before chasing back
and forth between the house and the
woodshed saying loud things about
his missing reel, tackle-box and wa
terproof match safe and who, after
finding them just where he put them
last September, OH discovering that
the youngest member of the family
had cut several strips out of one of
his hip-boOts to make sling-shot,
proceeded to warm up the equatorial
region of the guilty youngster and
finally coming to the conclusion that
such proceedings would neither mend
the boots, nor his temper, went back
into the house using words that Noah
Webster didn't put in his dictionary
His presence in your back yard at so
early an hour will be accounted for
by the fact that he forgot, among
other things, to get his bait in readi-
ness the day before and ergo he
must get up early in the morning
in order to get it in time to catch
the five-thirty train for Wild Rose, or
some other place, made popular by
it's having trout stream within
"Marathoning" distances.
Today being the fifteenth of
April is the beginning of the open
season for trout fishing and quite
number of our local sportsmen are
contemplating taking advantage Of
the first day, not because the
speckled beauties are any hungrier
on the 18th than they are on the
10th, but because the sportsmen
themselves can't wait any longer
than the law compels them to. Trout
fishing is a sport that is in a class
by itself and can only be appreciat-
ed by those who have been initiated
into the delicate art of fly and bait
casting for the rainbow and speckled
beauties, but having once acquired
the art, the enthusiasm connected
with it returns annually just as sure
as the Robins return

LOCAL MARBLE WORKS
DOING A BIG BUSINESS

R. A. Weeks, the local marble and
granite dealer, just returned from an
extended business trip to Plainfield,
Coloma, Wild Rose, Almond and Wau
toma, where he disposed of a num-
Der of fine granite monuments. These
monuments were shipped today for
their various destinations, and will
be set up as soon as the weather
permits.
The firm of Weeks & Weeks, mar
bic dealers, are doing a large busi-
ness in the monumental line, filling
orders not only in Wood, but in al
joining counties as WELL They have
enough orders for monuments on
hand at the present time to keep
them busy for several months.

GET OUT OF DOORS
Fresh Air and Out Door Exer-
else a Panacea for i'll Health.

In this early spring season there
are the usual numbers of spring
complaints that used to find pain
fully accurate descriptions in the
old time almanac. 1t is one of the
natural outcomes of clogged human
systems due to heavy winter pro
yender combined with lack of out
door exercises.
The season is now at hand wte1
the appeal of the outdoors is very
strong. In this section of our coun-
try, where winter reigns supreme for
nearly five months out of every
twelve, causing all to hibernate as it
were for that period of time, now
that the alternating season is over,
1T behooves each and everyone to
practically live out of doors as much
as possible. There are many to who1
the kitchen garden does not appeal.
They are unfortunate, indeed, for
those who find zest in this work

problem all the year around. But
those who do not should just the
same get out as much as possible in
the open air.
The surrounding woods and coun-
try sides awakening from their long
winters sleep, will soon be great
delight to everyone with ears to
hear and eyes to see. They are also
filled with the life giving odors of
spring. The people Of our southern
and western states, where winter is
less severe, are great out oc-doors
people. We who are not quite so
pleasantly circumstanced should
nevertheless learn that lesson from
them, and spend all our leisure hours
out in the open air absorbing the
abounding health which is about US.
BY so doing, many of the ills to
which flesh is enormously repute1
to be heir, cannot only be avoided,
but completely eradicated if they al
ready exist.

CHASE CRAZY MAN
John Steinwager Becomes In
sane and Takes to Woods.

Staring blankly into space and
with sealed lips, John Steinwager,
son of Mrs. Francis Steinwager who
resides on the Adler road north of
the city, was a pitiful sight at the
Central depot Saturday morning in
the custody of two officers who
were taking him to the Northern
hospital for insane at Oshkosh Two
days previous to this scene, Stein
wager, who is % years of age, was
brought to this city for examination
and after the formalities in such
cases was pronounced insane His
mother asked that she have the Gus
tody of the boy until the arrival of
Sheriff Griffin the following day, her
request being granted. Arriving home
the young man became desperate and
securing revolver, took to the wood
where he remained over night When
the sheriff arrived and learned the
circumstances, together with Deputy
Sheriff John Schmidt, the two men
went in search of the unfortunate
young man. He was tracked through
the woods in the vicinity of his home
and was finally discovered on the
Greenwood branch of the Central,
travelling north. Before his capture
he gave the two officers a long
chase and no less a desperate
struggle when they got close enough
to lay hands on him. Although
small man he seemed endowed with
the strength of a Sampson Weak
ened from exposure and hunger he
battled for liberty until finally from
mere exhaustion he gave up with
the words 81 am all in," from that
time on refusing resistance or talk.
On leaving here he was accompanied
his two captors and with his hands
strapped to his sides, bolted at sight
of the train and had to be carried on
board. He is young man vel
known by many in this city who re-
grets at his dire Marsh
field News.

TO VOTE ON
STATE FLOWER
Election in Schools to be Held
on Arbor Day, May 7.

Friday, May Z, is to be observed
as Arbor and Bird Day in Wisconsin.
On that day, the school children of
Grand Rapids and Wood county, in
common with those of the entire
state, will hold an election to de-
termine upon state flower. There
are four candidates in the field
seeking that honor. These were mad
candidates at the primaries held on
Arbor day, 1908. They are the vio-
let, the wild rose, the trailing ar
butus and the white water lily.
At this election, women suffrage
will prevail, as it did at the pri-
mary election held a year ago. All
school girls and women who attend
the Arbor Day exercises in the
schools may vote at this election, as
well as the men and boys who may
be present at these exercises.
At the primaries held year ago,
the violet received 26, sos votes; the
wild rose 21,955; the trailing arbutus
1899; the white water lily 1861.
A total Of 114,411 votes, were cast
This years Wisconsin Arbor and
Bird Day Annual has the following
to say of the coming election: ga
good natured but vigorous campaign
should be carried on, the merits of
the different candidates discussed
and the campaigner for any flower is
privileged to use all honorable means
to secure votes for his favorite.
Campaign speeches will always be
in order and sometimes it may be a
good plan to have debates between
the champions of any two of the
candidates.
''The opportunity for winning votes
for any favorite is excellent All
those who voted for a losing can
didate last year may be induced to
vote for some one of the four to
be voted for now. There are also
several thousand pupils who did not
vote last year and there is no rea-
son why good, live campaigners may
not win large numbers of votes for
their favorites. The children in all
schools, country one-room schools,
graded schools, parochial schools,
high schools and academies are asked
to vote for their choice for the Wis
consin state flower"

next year, on the establishment of a

US most excellent idea, as we all
