METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH NOTES

The Children's Day services held
in the morning ON Sunday, were a,
mong the most taking exercises pre-
sented i'm years. The porgram was
varied, including the little tots and
those more advanced i'm years, and
every part well taken, not a break
in the order of the services. The de
corations were in charge of the West
Side Ladies Aid Society and we're es-
peciaIly appropriate, consisting of a
large number of potted plants ferns
and profusion of cut flowers. There
were bird cages suspended from the
arches of the ceiling, the little song
sters joining heartily in the program.
Eleven children were baptised by
the pastor. The congregation fill
ed all the pews and aisles of the au-
ditorium.

ENDS HUNT FOR RICH GIRL

Often the hunt for rich wife ends
when the man meets a woman that
uses Electric Bitters. Her strong
nerves tell in a bright brain and
even temper. Her peach-bloom COM
plexion and ruby lips result from her
pure blood; her bright eyes from rest
full sleep; her elastic step from firm
free muscles, all telling of the health
and strength Electric Bitters give a
woman and the freedom from indiges
ton, backache, headache, fainting
and dizzy spells they promote. Every
where they are woman's favorite re-
medy. If weak or ailing try them.

class of said institution to give the
graduating class a reception. This
has usually been held in the evening
and always partook Of the formal
ty of such affairs.
However, the progressive members
OF the Junior class added novelty to
the reception by holding it in the
afternoon on the school campus.
Light refreshments were served
and then a delightful program was
rendered, which partook both of the
nature of track meet and of a dis
trict school picnic.
The first number on the program
was a hurdle-race, the obstacles con
sisting of three saw-horses, of vary
ing sizes, a wheel-barrow, borrowed
from the janitor, and a brush heap.
Contestants were chosen to repre-
sent both classes, and two Seniors
due to the support given them by
their fellow classmen, were success
full.
Miss Irma Staffeld winning the
first prize, which was a blue rib
bon, and Miss Ethel Helser the Sc
cond.
The next number was a twenty
yard dash by two members of each
class in which Freda Hoeft carried
off the blue ribbon and Lillian Chris
topherson the second.
In the standing high jump contest
the Seniors We're again successful,
Agnes Bredesen gaining first, and
Emma Meisner second.
In the standing broad jump Anna
Huber and Jessie Leroux were sue
cessful, winning respectively first
and second places.
An interesting number on the pro-
gram was the standing broad grin"
Participants were ordered to stand
in line and grin, Miss McDermid
main pant of the grin and Mr.. Jack
son behind to measure the remain
der.
Right here it is necessary to add
a few words of explanation. Stu
dents of the Wood County Normal
have had a great deal of practice in
broad grinning from listening to Mr..
JacksOn's jokes, hence-the amazing
width of Miss Vera Mueller's grin
won out, measuring five and one
half inches.
In the forty yard dash Hilda Eric
son and Bernice Vannatta carried
off the honors.
Another interesting feature was the
tree" legged race.
1t has been said that, variety is
the spice of life Variety was intro
duced by the faculty broad jump and
twenty yard dash. 1t is needless
to mention the victor as anyone who
saw MIR. Jackson on his return home
would see a blue-ribbon bedecked Dos
ON. Why, in the twenty yard dash
he lost Miss McDermid and Miss So
Ion in the first two feet!
The program closed with an inter
class race, in which the Juniors
were successful.
Students of the Wood County Nor
NAL are quite seriously contemplate
ing attending the track meet at APP
pleton next year but as yet they
have made no definite plans.

find themselves stung good and hard
and be land poor. Last year the
wheat crop in Saskatchewan was al
most a complete failure It's a good
place to go if you have the money to
speculate and you get in and OUT
before the boom bursts, but to go up
there farming is taking a long chance
especially when right here at home
the farmer can get better land. The
winters up there are long, fuel and
all the necessities Of life are high.
Recent visitors to Grand Rapids from
that country expressed surprise at
the low cost of fuel, butter, eggs,
fruits and the freshness, quality Of
meats here in this city.

Head of White Star Vine Says There Will Be Change in Ship

Refuses to Answer Some Questions and He Is Put in Charge of

WASHINGTON. April 30-More life boats on Atlantic liners. equipment of rafts that automatical- ly float clear of d sinking vessel, construction of great passenger ves- sels with double huHs, extended Wa tertight c"mparments-an these re forms. as indicated today before the senate committee Investigating the Titanic disaster. are contemplated by the trans Atlantic companies. J. Bruce Ismav. president and nanag- ing director of the International Mercantile Marine company, told the committee in his opinion these changes would be made. He pro missed to take up the question with the constructors of big liners as soon as he returned to England.
 The head of the most powerful shipping combination in the world shared interest at today's hearing with E j. Dunn, q New York re- porter Dunn proved q recalcitrant witness. for after telling of infor- nation received that the White Star Line officials had received positive
 information of the Titanic disastec twelve hours before they gave it out. he refused to give the name of his informant Senator Smith insisted on knowing the name of the person responsible for the statement. Dunn said he received it confidentially, and had pledged himself not to di- vulge the name Summarily dismiss ed from the stand in charge of q
 sergeant at -drins. the witness spent most of the morning on the long distance telephone endeayoring to be absolved from his pledge.
 AS d result of Dunns testimony
 Senator Smith dispatched two of ficers to interrogate officials of the Western Union Telegraph company by whom was employed the man who is said tO have made the statement Late in the day it was learned the officers were having hard time getting at the facts A a result he announced he possibly would g to New York tomorrow. and conduc the investigation himself. The hear ing today came to an abrupt enc when Senator smith suddenly an nounced the committee would re cess until Friday. This he said was necessitated because the senate committee. to which the members O the Titanic investigating committee belonged, was completing it's WorE l on the rivers and harbors appropri. atiOn bill
