AN AUTO TRIP
To PITTSY|LLE

We are under obligations to our
friend George n. Wood, for an au-
tomobile trip to Pittsville Sunday
afternoon. 1t was a beautiful day
and ther efore added to the outing. We
went to Pittsville on the old roads
and we were surprised in going from
Grand Rapids to Seneca Corners to
find that road, one of the Oldest in
the county, in such poor condition
The town Of Seneca is one Of the
prosperous towns in the county and
its officials and road builders ought
not to neglect it any longer. We
are, told iby automobile drivers that
it is one of the poorest roads out Of
Grand Rapids. These officers ought
not to allow it to remain so, much
longer, it is a detriment TO their
town.
Since our last visit to Pittsville
We noticed on our arrival a large
new structure, polygon in shape, and
upon inquiry we learned that it was
new up-to-date barn, the property Of
Frank P. Hiles, one of the native
sons of the town of Dexter, and one
of their leading and progressive farm
ers. He has 120 acres Of land all
cleared and under cultivation with the
exception of 20 acres, which still
has to be stUmped. Samuel James, is
in charge of this farm as manager,
and he took pleasure in giving US the
following information about the barn.
1T has twelve sides or squares 16
feet long 1t is 20 feet in diameter.
The ground floor will be laid in ce-
ment. It provides for 50 head OF
cattle and 4 box stalls for horses be
sides large harness and storage
room. It has two 19 foot wide door
ways SO that you can drive right
thru the structure. In the center OF
this barn and extending its entire

A HARD
FOUGHT GAME
Grand Rapids Highs Out-play
Oshkosh at Every Point AL
though 0utWeiqhed.

Saturday, Oshkosh played Grand
Rapids and beat them after a hard
fight by a score of II to 0.
Hard luck was on the side of the
locals who outpIayed their opponents
at every turn, outweighed by 25 lbs
to the man. Natwick made a noble
attempt at a drop kick from the 20
yard line but missed by a very mar
row margin. Smith also tried another
near the end of the game but it was
unfortunately blocked. He played a
fine game at quarter and several
times galloped down the gridiron for
so yard gains. But much credit must
be given to Arpin at fuIlback, who
plowed thru for a great distance.
Buckley held big Mucks" at tackle
and carried the ball we'll. Welch
played like a veteran and tackled
like a fiend. Miller and kellogg at
guards did the Stonewall stunt and
NatWick and Weeks played their gam
and slammed their men down time
and again. Getzlaff was particular
good on the defense and Johnson
and Canning get special merit for
their all around good work Next
Saturday the Second Team plays the
Wausau Seconds on the local frying
pan.

welcome and cooperation for the pas
tors of the city and their cOngrega-
tions Rev. Meilicke said he well
coined Bro. Pease not as a profes-
sional man but aus called man" He
said, had he been a professional man
he would have quit the ministry long
ago; that a called man''-called of
God, Iabored not for money, for hon.
or, but for the love of humanity and
the good he might be able to- accom-
plish. The address was a flow of elo
quence coming from the very heart
of the speaker, at the close of which
he extended to Rev. and Mrs. Pease.
the right hand of fellowship i'm the
work of laboring for the upbuild-
ing and betterment of the citizens of
our beloved Grand Rapids.
Rev. Pease responded to these ad-
dresses in AN eloquent and touching
manner. He said that for so short
a residence in our city he was we'll
satisfied and perfectly at home; that
he felt his first duty to be the fill
ing if his pulpit to the best of his
ability and his second duty to becomt
acquainted with the people and keep
what he could as a citizen of Grand
Rapids. He said to prove his full col
version to our city's welfare, he was
going out in the football ground next
day and root for Grand Rapids higl
school in their game aaginst the city
he had so recently left.
The program was concluded with a
duet by Helen and Frances Anderson
and a reading by Miss Goggms.
Light refreshments were then serv
ed, after which the festivities closed
all declaring they had spent a deligh
Itul evening, and one to be long re-
membered.
