IDENTIFY INJURED PERSON
AND LOST PROPERTY

A system of identification has been
inaugurated by the First National
Bank of this city which will be ap-
preciated by all men.
Those who call for them are being
presented with a german silver key
tag with chain to hold the keys. On
one side of the tag is stamped a mum
Der and statement that the number
is registered under the name of the
owner. On the reverse side is
stamped First National Bank of
Grand Rapids, Wis, will identity own
err
In case the keys are lost the finder
has no way of knowing whose doors
they fit, as is the case when the
tag contains the owners name, but
if he has a spark of honor will return
them to the bank. The bank knows
the owner from the number on the tag
and will promptly notify him
The tag would also be extremely
useful in case of serious accident
when among strangers as a telegram
could be sent the bank and through
them the family notified. The bank
makes no charge for any of this
service. 1t is simply one of the things
which make true the common saying
that the First National is ''The bank

as friends to know that the young

same earnestness and perfection with

BAND CONCERT
AND TALK
w. H. Manning, Landscape De-
signer, Pleases Grand Rapids
Audience.

Daly's Opera House was crowded
Thursday evening, to listen to the
Band Concert, which was given in
that building instead Of at the band
stand. After the band had rendered
five excellent numbers fully up to
the standard Of their popular music
w. H. Manning the landscape desig-
ner, addressed our people upon sub
ject of city plan and civic beauty
He was introduced to the audience by
B. R. Goggins, who made a few pre-
liminary remarks that were strongly
in favor of the city plan method and
he knew that our people would sup
port the ladies of the Federation and
the Improvement Association in their
excellent work toward this end. Mr.
Manning said that nature had al
ready done a great deal for the city
of Grand Rapids along our beautiful
Wisconsin River and that with a lit
tie money spent every year in a jul
dicious way that a great deal more
could be done to work in harmony will
what Nature had already accomplish
ed. To illustrate what could be
done Mr. Manning presented pictures
of other cities where work of this
kind has already been done. His
talk was very interesting and the
pictures presented of other cities
and local slides the property of Guy
Nash were fine.
We understand that Mr.. Manning
will draw a map of the city of Grand
Rapids outlining a series of small
parks to work in harmony with what
We have already started, and now havs
with relation to the main thorough
fares leading to and from our city,
also including the railroads. When
this is accomplished then the city
each year can do a little something
toward working out this plan He
urged each property owner to beauti-
fly his home and business places with
respect to carrying out the same
line of decoration with his neighbOr
The planting of trees, shrubbery,
vines and flowers would convert an
ugly looking back yard to one of
beauty with very little labor and ex-
pense.

LINCOLN HIGH
SCHOOL GRAD.
UAT|ON

The school years work closed at
the Lincoln High school auditorium,
Friday evening, June End, with a
very interesting program. The re
ceiving of diplomas indicating almost
a life's school work to the students
has many interesting memories con
nected with it. When the child
starts into school he looks forward
to graduation time with great inter
est and honor Work in the common
schools is all the education that
large percentage of the students re
ceiVe. Most of them go from the
high school out into the world to
earn a livelihood. Therefore gradu-
alton time is an epoch in their lives.
All the young people who graduated
from our Lincoln high school did re-
markably well in whatever part they
had to perform whether it was an o.
ration, a reading, or a part in the
class play. The class of 1911 is one
of the best that has graduated from
our public schools. The following is
the program rendered Friday evening
in the high school building

LEO zABAWA
SUCCESSFUL IN
SUPREME COURT

Attorney Geo. L. Williams is very
much rejoiced at his success in the
Supreme Court in securing the re
versal of the judgment in the case of
Leo Zabawa by Guardian against
Oberbeck Bros. Mfg. Co. The action
was brought by Leo Zabawa to re-
cover for injury received on August
%, 1907, and was tried at the De
cember 1909, term Of our Circuit
Court. After the evidence was
all in the Judge held that there coulC
be no recovery because Leo's loss
of his left hand was caused by the
negligence of a fellow servant and
dismissed the case. Mr. Williams co
tention was that the fellow servant
was incompetent and therefore the
Oberbeck Company was liable. This
position seems to have been sustained
by the Supreme Court and hence the
case now comes back for re-trial
with chances that Leo will get
substantial amount for his loss. Cog
gins & Brazeau were attorneys for
the Company.

In the case of O'Day VS.. Meyers
in which D. D. Conway was interested
in which the sale of about $12 900
worth of land was involved and in
which judgment was rendered in
circuit court in favor Of O'Day and
Conway. When this case came OH to
be argued in Supreme Court the de
fendant Meyers first moved for a
continuance. When it was denied
he moved for the dismissal of the ap-
peal The plaintiff objected and NOV
ed for an affirmance of the judgment
rendered in circuit court. The deci-
sion handed down Thursday by the
Supreme Court, denied the motion to
dismiss the appeal and granted Plain
tiff's motion to affirm the judgment
of the circuit court, unless within
twenty days the defendant Meyers
filed with the Supreme Court a bond
to be approved by the trial court,
to the effect that he would pay the
judgment heretofor rendered in circuit
court for about $13, 900, if on hearing
said judgment it was sustained. D.
H. Grady represented the Plaintiff
O'Day and D. D. Conway appeared
for himself in the Supreme Court, and
Perry, Morton, and Krossing of Mil
waukee, were attorneys for the defen
dant Meyers.
It will be noticed that D. D. Conway
argued four of the above cases il
said court and was successful in
three of them. This is an excellent
record which D. D. has every reason
to feel proud Of
