It will also be noted that the

the plot plowed fifteen days ear

probably due to the fact that the

This indicates that it is better to
plow when the ground is in the

ground is too dry to pillow.
1t may often be preferable to

PEOPLES MUSICAL SOCIETY
SCORE A TRIUMPH

The ladies entertainment commit
tee connected with the Congregational
church made a pleasing success in
the presentation of the Peoples Mu-
sical Society Concert Company at
Days Opera House, Monday night,
June 9th.
Mr.. Jacob Reuter-, violinist, had
appeared before a Grand Rapids au-
dience several times previously and
therefore was well remembered as an
artist upon that instrument. He
was stronger upon this appearance
than ever before and was recalled by
hearty encores after each number.
Miss Ella Smith, pianist, accompan-
led Mr. Reuter- in all his numbers ans
was exceptionally good i'm all the
numbers she rendered. Her selec-
tions were pleasing and renderd with
artistic skill. She responded grac-
iously to hearty encores. This was
Miss Smiths first appearance before
a Grand Rapids audience.
Miss Louise E.. Loveday, reader,
was the third member of the company
audience. 1t was also her first appear
audience. 1t was also her first appeis !
ance in Grand Rapids where her ex
ceIlent readings made a good inn
preston.
The entertainment was a great sue
cess from a musical as we'll as a
financial standpoint. The ladies of
the Congregational church are en-
titled to credit for the excellent high
class musical treat they furnished
to our people.

SPRINKLE! SPRINKLE!
--PICNlCERS GET S0USED

''What is so rare as a day in
June?' Then the blithe picnicer
struts adown the shaded deIl to sit
him on wasp's nest and spread his
physiognomy over a choice bundle OF
lovely foods; to breathe into his dys-
peptic lungs a few sweet whlffs OF
woodland air; and to be gathered In
BY a superb specimen of Wisconsin
thunder shower. Twas ever thus.
Picnic rains are the most original
creatures this eccentric old orb has
ever produced. They are all obllg-
ingly different. One carefully drenche!
things just before you start. You
arrive at the picnic grounds to find
everything wet. The oak leaves are
wet; the rotten stumps are wet, and
after strenuous effort you build a
fire that isn't large enough to poach
a gooseberry. Hence, you have no
hot coffee to go with your peanut sand
wiches.
There is great variety to the forms
assumed by picnic rains. A very
familiar form is that which budsts
cheerfully from a clear and sunny
sky just as the picnicer is seating
himself before the we'll grouped re
past. One loses sympathy with show
ers of this character for some rea'
son or other. 1t rather disheartens
one to see his ice cream spattered
all over the picnic grounds. 1t is
no pleasant sensation to huddle be
meath a thinIy branched pine tree
and accommodate the cool, unwelcome
drippings which persist in settling
on your new collar, or perhaps Ii
missing your new collar and trick
hing down your spinal column. Yet
such is picnic life, for it is a chronic
rule to leave all umbrellas at home
on such occasions. (This rule is
reverently observed in all states
save Arizona; and in Arizona radn
| is an unknown misery.)

YOUNG MAN IS

Herman Henning Disappears

1t is reported that Herman Hen
ming, young man about twenty-five
years old of the town of Plover, has
been missing from home for a week
The last seen of him was when he
left home to go to a neighbor's for
a visit Searching parties have
secured the woods almost daily since
then, but no trace of him has so
far been found
The relatives are unable to ac-
count for his strange disappearance.
except that his mind may be affected
They said that he acted different
than usual for a few days before his
leaving, in a manner that indicated
mental alteration, and it is feared
therefore, that he may have gone ON
an aimless wander and perhaps per-
Qshedi from exhaustion and hunger.
