how much the people of Greenville are
goin' to spend celebratin'? Let 'em
spend a million if they can raise it.
They'll only have that much less to
spend for things that might do their
town some good"
"But don't you see," said Thomas
Spurgeon, that we can't afford to let
.Greenville get ahead Of Paddington in
this matter? Since the oId-fashioned
way of celebrating the Fourth has
been done away with every town that
amounts to anything has general dis
play which is for the benefit Of every
body. By stopping the sale of danger

thing we can have day OF comfort
and safety; but we owe something to
the youngsters, SO we propose to have
a fine exhibition of fireworks in the
evening. 1t will be in charge Of men
who know how to handle such things,
and you can readily see that 1t will be
much bigger and more thrilling than
it would be If everybody celebrated
in his own way. Besides, there will be
no chance for the boys to lose their
fingers or have their eyes put out
The people of Greenville have been

everything, and we want to show them
for once that they can't do it. Don't

they'd stop everything fireworks and

That's just like them city women,

a girl from the country he'd be a

MULTNOMAH DEFEATS

OUTWEIGHED AND OUT PLAYED,
U. BOYS COULD NOT MAKE
SCORE YESTERDAY.

PORTLAND, Ore. Nov. 27.-Sadly
outweighed and outplayed, the plucky
University OF Oregon eleven succumb-

squad yesterday, II to 0. AS a con-

nigh perfect weather counterbalanced
the lack OF the spectacular. Upwards
OF 5000 enthusiasts basked in the sun
shine around Winged NJ field and ev-
erywhere could be heard praise for
oregon's game, gritty fight.
All the scoring was done in the sec.
ond and fourth quarters. AS a mat
ter of fact, oregon deserved a 60
score.
In the fourth quarter, after holding
desperately Dave Philbin made two
bad passes over Punter Beckett's
head and the ball rolled across the
goal line. Beckett was tackled be-
hind the goal line for a safety, count
Ing two points. on the first Of these
occasions. Immediately afterwards,
on the fourth down. another pass
went sailing over his head and Beck
EFT made the mistake OF trying to run
II out.
He got across the goal line, but the
club took the ball on downs inside the
five-yard line and Luke RAIDER bang
ed through for a touchdown on the
first scrimmage. Beckett should have
downed the ball behind for another
safety, which would have saved four
points.

ORGANIZATION OF A
SPEAK ERS' BUREAU
Grand Rapids Association of Com
merce Will Furnish Speakers for
Booster Meetings, Farmers
Institutes, Etc, Free.

Mr.. Lee Fl. Bierce, assistant secrc-
tary of the Grand Rapids Association
Of Commerce, writes us as follows:
Permit me to call your attention
to the fact that the Grand Rapids As
ISOLATION of Commerce has just or
ganized Speakers Bureau. The OBJ
iect of this Bureau is to furnish pub
&c speakers for the smaller towns in
Western Michigan. These towns arc
constantly putting on booster meet
ags, farmers Institutes, etc, and arr
ften greatly handicapped by the lack
If desirable speakers. Through this
Speakers Bureau we feel as though
we were coming to the aid of these
organizations. Speakers will be fur
lished upon request Of this Office, and
the only expense to the organization
securing the sneaker viii be traEspor-
tation.
In this connection might advise you
hat the Grand Rapids Association Of
Commerce is just as anxious to soc
Western Michigan grow and develop
rs it is to see Grand Rapids grow and
develop. The smaller towns Of West
ern Michigan are absolutely depend
ent upon this city as a market, and
the wholesalers of this city are ahso-
,utely dependent upon the smaller
towns of Western Michigan as a mar
Eet. AS this dependence is mutual,
we are in favor of doing whatever
We can TO strengthen it,"
This invitation is broad and the
offer will be accepted and certainly
We can appreciate the liberality Of
business men willing 20 sacrifice their
Tine and extend to our town and citi-
zens cooperative spirit as this
large organization has manifested in
the above paragraphs.
Such spirit as this makes us feel
life is worth living, and that a greater
