GRAND RAPIDS
VICTORS OVER
STEVENS POINT

In a very fast and exciting game
Sunday at Stevens Point, Grand Rap
ids defeated their team by a score
Of 4 TO i. Nelson was on the mound
for the Grand Rapids team and threw
a game that was a credit to any pit
cher. Although he had very good sup
port he did a big share of the work
himself and deserves a great deal OF
credit, allowing but one hit by the
hard hitters OF Stevens Point, made
by Tragesser in the 9th inning.
Van Patter was fighting hard as
usual but somehow the locals seemed
to get to him for nine lovely hits
From the first it looked like a
Grand Rapids victory which was prov

a star, the boys could not throw then
too fast-too SLOW too high,-too

get, he was there!!! every minute
Gefster hit one that gave Powell an
awful chase down and when the ball
came down, Powell was not quite
there and consequently accommodated
Neister, by allowing him to get to

played real fast ball and looked like
big leaguers. The lineup was as

FLOWER AND
VEGETABLE SHOW
POSTPONED

The School Committee of the Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs have de-
c1ded to postpone the flower and ve-
getable show which was planned to
be held the last week in August. Up
on further consideration it has been
decided that a thorough canvas of tho
pupils in the schools will be necessary
who are growing the flowers and We
getables preparatory to entering the
show. The date for holding this ex-
hibitfon will probably be about the
14th or 18th of September, and this
will give all an excellent opportunity
to have part in the display These
late rains will do inestimable good in
growing some of. the later flowers and
vegetables and it is anticipated that
most of the boys and girls who pur-
chased seeds at the seed distribu-
tion at the schools will take part
in the show, as well as many who
purchased seeds elsewhere. Let us
encourage the young people in this
work and all lend hand in making
this first flower and vegetable show
a glorious success.

BREAKING INTO
HOUSE BY Z BOYS

Leonard Johnson, II years old, son
of Edward Johnson and Alvin Krous-
er, 10 years old, son of VIM. Krouser
were arrested Monday morning, by
Undersheriff Welch, for breaking
into the house of Mrs Minnie Hama
man in the Second ward, Sunday af-
ternoon, August Goth, while the famil
were away visiting. Leonard John
son admits that he has stolen from
the Green Bay depot, Pickle Fac
tory, StahIs store and Hanaman's 8
home. The Krouser boy makes no
admissions except in this case. We
understand that the parents are un-
able to make these boys mind and
they are willing that they should go
to the reform school at Waukesha.
The boys broke into the Hanaman
house through the cellar way and
went through the house apparently
looking for money and valuables.
LATER-After listening to the a.
bove case in which it was shown
that Leonard Johnson was the princi-
pal in the above offense, and Alvin
Krouser led into it. It was also shown
this was his first offense. Judge Con
way decided to commit Leonard John
son to the reformatory at Waukesha
and Alvin Krouser was given his re-
lease on the promise that he would
obey his parents, go to school and
make good use of his time.

HANDSOME VEGE-
TABLE GARDEN

We have many beautiful flower and
vegetable gardens in our city but
we have seen no vegetable garden
that axcels or equals the one of Mr.
and Mrs Geo. P. Hambrecht, on
Third street south. The entire back
lot is given up for this purpose and
it is entirely free from weeds, well
arranged and everything is 80 prolific.
Their tomatoes of the Ponderosa va
riety are staked to poles, the vines
reaching a height of seven feet, fCrmi
ing a veritable orchard. The vines
are well loaded with tomatoes of a
monstrous size. Among the vegetables
growing there are: Corn, potatoes,
tomatoes, cauliflower, satisfy, kale,
parsnips, peppers, brussels sprouts,
cabbage, chicory, cucumbers, turnips,
leek, carrots, Swiss chard, endive,
kohlrabi, beans, Qima and others) i,
and in fact we do not believe there is
a vegetable catalogued in the seed
books but what you will find it in
this garden Such an excellent gar
den certainly must be very crafty
ing to those who have had the culti-
yation and care Of it.

Of fine grade of corn that has
