BASE BALL
Grand Rapids 8 - Green Bay 5

Nelson Let Green Bay down with
four hits Sunday and Grand Rapids
won by a score of 8 to 5. Nelson al
lowed but one man to walk. Two
errors by Grand Rapids helped out
the four hits which resulted i'm the
five runs for the visitors. Grand
Rapids gathered seven hits off of
LaTdenois. These hits together with
several bases On balls and three err
'oTs he.ped Grand Rapids to swell
thei~ score.
Green Bay scored in their half of
the first, there was nothing doing I'm
til the third when Grand Rapids push
ed man over the rubber and tied
the score. Green Bay came back in
the fourth with two runs, but Grand
Rapids not to be outdone and to keep
the game interesting put two of their
men across the counting station, a.
gain tying the score. Green Bay put
over another tally in the fifth and
see-saw scoring resolved to tie up
the game in hard knot, so they went
after the game in earnest and when
Grand Rapids getting tired of the
the dust settled four men had count
ed. Green Bay started in to do some
thing in the sixth but only succeed
ed in getting one man over. Grand
Rapids also got a man around in the
sixth. The next three innings were
runless, both pitchers Tightening up
and pitching air tight ball. Nelson
had big margin on the Green Bay
pitcher
This was the first time the local
| aggregation has had an opportunity
to play together against an opposing
team. They played mighty good
game considering the lack of prac-
tice. With weeks practice and
some of KeIly's inside base ball work
ing next Sunday they will send the
Cubs from Wausau home with their
claws clipped and teeth pulled. This
paper predicted that the Green Bay
BismarKs would prove that the ac-
cent should be on the last syllable
of their name when Kelly's bunch
got through with them.
A good sized crowd Witnessed the
game and every one seemed satisfi-
ed with the showing the team made
and with his jumps, Frank Ticknor.
The excitment was so intense during
the game as to result in the blowing
out of two automobile tires. Two
machines went home limping,

F. G. Gilkey has returned from Chi
cago where he went to secure an
aeropIane for the Fourth of July Gel
ebration. Mr.. Gilkey secured a con-
tract with the National Aeroplane
Co, SOC S. Michigan Ave, which as
sures two flights weather permitting.
A biplane will be used by the aviator
The birdman will probably be the
same one who made the flights for
the Milwaukee Journal, carrying the
mail from Milwaukee to Waukesha.
The aviator is Frenchman by birth
The contract calls for two flights,
weather permitting, and if the flights
cannot be made on the Fourth, the
contract states that they are to be
made on the fifth.

DEATH Of MRS.
T. R. Jones

The many friends of Mrs. E. R.
Jones of Madison, better known to
Grand Rapids people as Miss Do
rothy Mol, were greatly surprised
to hear of her death at her home in
Madison, Monday evening, June 10,
after a serious illness. She was 3.
teacher in our High school for three
years, where she made many friends
and left an excellent record as a
teacher. She was married to E.
r. Jones of Madison, September last
Early this spring she visited many
Of her friends in Grand Rapids. Her
sudden death was a great shock, as
only a few had any knowledge of her
illness. We join with her friends
in expressions of sympathy to the
bereayed husband who is left to
mourn.

NORMAN GERALD
NEARING FOUR
SCORE AND TEN

In honor of the 88th birthday of
Norman Gerard, the venerable father
Of E. H. Gerard, : pleasant family
gathering was held Sunday afternoon
at his sons home on North Page
st. Present from Madison was Miss
Lena Anderson, who from childhood
has been considered as one of the
family. In the course of the after
noon was read the following poem,
written for the occasion by Douglas
Malloch, a Chicago friend of Mr.
Grard:
THE PIONEER.
We did not rise, a people great,
Like some pale mushroom in an
hour;
The pioneers have carved the state
That stands in majesty and power.
The wilderness was cleared away,
The song of industry was sung,
While this, the nation of today,
Was but lusty infant young.
The fathers of the days of old
To them the risen nation sings;
They were more great than knights
so bold,
They were more noble than were
kings
They conquered forest wilderness,
They made path for future years
Down which the later Iegions press
And praise the grand, old pioneers.
And so today we meet again
To pay a tribute unto one
Who led the way of other men,
Who followed after setting sun,
And, in Wisconsin's virgin soil,
By flowing riYre, fertile hill,
The future planted with his toll
And woke the silence with his mill
But crude and simple it may be,
And yet it served it's purpose well,
For others heard it's melody
The timber floating in the Fox,
The lumber from the muIey crude,
Built humble homes upon the rocks
And cities in the solitude.
Here Vesper rose amid the pine,
The product Of his hand and brain,
That when ten thousand suns shall
shine,
His monument will still remain.
And other years and other men
In some Wisconsin still more great
Shall still remember even then
The pioneers who built the state.
So hail to you, you PIONEERS;
And hail to you within yur door!
God bless your eight and eighty years
And bless you still with many more
We gather round about you now
To place our affection reUerent
The laurel Of a life well spent.
Stoughton Courier-Hub
Many of our readers will be in
terested in the above item, as Mr..
Norman Gerard was a resident OF
Grand Rapids for many years. We
join with his many old time friends
here in extending congratulations for
continued health and vigOr.

GROWTH OF SABBATH
SCHOOL DONATIONS

In a report to the local Seventh
Day Adventist church on the growth
of Sabbath-schooI donations, which
go toward the support of foreign mis-.
sion endeavor Mrs. L. Flora Plummer,
corresponding secretay of the Sab
bath school Department Of the Gen
eral Conference of the Seyenth-Day
Adventists states that the amount
last year reached a higher water mark
than that of any year in the history
of the department, $156, 4S837 being
raised. This amount was a gain of
$20,275.14 over the previous year
The collecting of these funds thru
the Sabbath-school Department be-
gan in systematic way, according to
Mrs. Plummer, in 1887, and a. total OF
SIC, 615.72 was contributed Since the
the Sabbath Schools of the Seventh
Day Adventists denomination have Civ
EN- $1,085, 551.54 for the help of mis-
sions in foreign fields.
In speaking of these free-will of
ferings Mrs. Plummer in her report
says:
This million dollars has been dis
tributed in almost every country ON
the globe. It helped start the work
in Australia; ten thousand OF it went
to South Africa. and an equal amount
to England; it built the ship Pit
cairn, that carried the gospel to the
islands of the Pacific; it gave sub
stantial aid to the establishment of
the gospel in Hamburg, and other
places in Europe, fields now self-sup-
and Central America each had a
share; India, Japan, and China re
ceiVed gifts for length of time; the
countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean received a portion, and in
later years in whatever part of the
world the need has been greatest the
Sabbath school money has been speed
lily sent"
The secretary gave a list of con-
ferences now donating all their Of
ferings to missions. She said that
all of the union conferences in this
country, with the exception of the
Central and Pacific Unions, are now
on the honor roll. She further said
that $3.50 members of the Sabbath
school Department were converted
last year.
Every thirteenth Sabbath the Of
ferings in the Sabbath-school Depart
ment are set apart for a particular
field. The next thirteenth Sabbath
will be June %, and the General Con.
ference has invited the Sabbath
schools in this country to set apart
their offerings on that day to the
opening Of new mission station in
Mashonalan.d, Africa Members of
the loc44 Sabbath-school will join
heartily in an effort to swell the fund
for the new station.
The Adventist missionaries in
Africa recently secured from the gov
eminent grant of the SelukEe re
serve, which, they say, is an espec-
tally desirable tract of land for mis-
sionary purposes.

TEN RULES
On How To Get Rich Given
,n ,,, o.,
By Wealthy Man

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 6-Frederick
Weyerhauser, the st. Paul millionaire,
said to be the richest man in the
world, now staying at Pasadena, to-
day, in an interview, gave 10 rules
on how to get rich:
Make up your mind to work at
something really worthy of work and
work hard
1.-The surest way to make money is
to save money and to use what you
save.
Don't be afraid of long hours or
constant attention to your work.
Work can be made joy, an econo-
my, a pleasure, If you combine an OBJ
ject worth while with the determined
ambition to win.
Work, where the interest of man
who works is centered, becomes a
source of real qualification, or honest
pleasure and accomplishment.
ANY young man can get rich, can
succeed in business, if he saves, if he
has definite and honest purpose and
is so filled with the purpose that work
ceases to be hardship and becomes a
privilege.
Look at things with optimism in
your heart.
go into some small business and
work to make it into big one"
