BRIGHT FOR
HORSE BREEDERS
Agriculture Department Says
Europe Will turn to u. S. for
Animals.

The increased demand in European
countries for American horses, caus-
ed by the war, presents an excellent
opportunity TO farmers Of the Unit
ed States, the Department of Agr-
culture announced yesterday. 1t is
stated that this demand may con-
tinue for a decade, or longer as when
peace is restored, more horses will
be needed for agriculture Already,
it is said, agents Of European ma
tons are trying 10 buy horses in
this country and Canada.
It is emphasized that only horses
of high quality may be profitably
raised. Inferior horses are declared a
drug on the market.
Next to Russia, the United States
has more horses than any other coun
try, and the Two together possess So
per cent Of the world supply.
The United States previously has
been drawn Ca 10 supply European
countries at war In the Boer war
more than 100000 horses were
brought here by Great Britain 1t is
considered doubtful, however. whether
foreign government could at this
time oh ain a similar supply in this
country, except at excessive cost

NO CORN AND GRAIN
SHOW THIS YEAR

On account of the big potato grow
ers convention and exhibition to be
held in Grand Rapids Nov. 1920, the
Bankers Corn and Grain Contest will
not be held this year.
The Wisconsin Banker Association
is offering $500 in prizes at the
potato show and the local bankers
are assisting financially and other
wise, hence it does not seem adyis-
able to hold another show in Deem
Der.
The Bankers are already planning
a Farmers Contest for 1915 and they
will assist the farmers of this COM
munity in securing pure bred seed
for planting next spring, so that the
1915 show will excel anything yet
attempted along that line in this
county.

excellent habits, good character and
a hustler. He has all the qualifica--
lions for making a first-class and
efficient county clerk for Wood coun-
ty. For the past three years he has
represented his ward in the city of
Grand Rapids on the county board,
where he has proven himself to be
an efficient member. He is a popu--
lar young man among the young peo-
pie of this city and is highly thought
OF and respected by all those whom
enjoy his acquaintance.
He invites the people of Wood
county to remember him on election
day, and if he is elected to said of
flee, he will give his best talent,and
attention to the duties of that office
We take pleasure in commencing him
to our reafers.

u. S. SENATOR

From the following telegram, we

noted that Senator Robt. M. LaFol--

"a L. Fontaine, Grand Rapids,

Thursday. Telephone to our friends.

From the above it will be known
that the Senator is coming to Wis
consin to help John ]. Blaine, indie
pendent progressive Republican, can
didate for Governor.
His itinerary is probably not yet
made up. He will probably speak
in many of the larger cities of the

without doubt, in the election of Mr..
Blaine, for governor.

THE IDEAL OF CIVIC SERVICE.

THE IDEAL OF CIVIC SERVICE.
Formerly to hold office in city
or town government, placed an in
terrogation mark against your repu-
tation. If a man was elected alder
man of a city, his character was
gone. 1t was no use trying to re-
form municipal or state politics. If
you did happen TO elect honest men,
they would be grafters before Their
terms was out.
At least, so many people believed.
In a great many places there was, aLd
is reason for this fee ing. but people
are growing disconnected with Stop
by municipal government.
Probably the greatest difficulty in
the way of efficient local government
in American cities lies in the unwil-
lingness of business and professional
men to accept public office. They say
they don't want 10 fawn and cringe
for the favor of politicians, nor con
sort with Tom, Dick and Harry, in
their hangouts and loafing places.
This may sound well as an excuse
when your neighborS ask you to run
for the school board or the state
Legislature. But more often the real
reason is unwiIlingness to give up
time from private affairs.
Yet what satisfaction is there in
going through Life and doing nothing
for your home town? What an inglor-
ious old age it is, when a man sits
down ON his dollars, and has no rec
ord of service to his fellows.
The experience of holding office,
even in a local government, or in
the lower branch of state legisla-
ture, is a valuable and rewar0ing
one to any man, no matter how high
ones position in life If a man is in
dependent and honest, he has ac-
quired am honor that no money can
buy. He has helped build a nobler
town and a nobler state.
If only our best and brightest men
could feel the call to this service,
inefficiency and cr0okedness would
disappear.

Bic men To
SPEAK HERE
Either James Hill or E. Pennington
Will Speak at Potato Growers
Convention.

J. G. Milward, state secretary of
the Wisconsin Potato Growers con-
Vention passed through the city Sat
urday. Mr.. MilWard lis preparing a
program of great interest and versa
tihty for the three days that the
convention will be in session. Among
the principal speakers will be either
Jim Hill of the Great Northern
Railroad enc of the greatest rail
road men America has produced, and
a man whose name is familiar in all
building circles of the country or E.
Pennington, President of the 500
Line. Mr.. Pennington is another
man of national reputation. There
will also be speakers from Holland,
Germany and other countries
Some people do not realize what
AN mmiense thing this potato grow
ers convention is. When you think
that this convention will draw peo--
pie from all parts of the country and
that these people are vitality inter
ested i'm the scientific growing of
one of the greatest articles of food,
and that this convention lis expected
to be far bigger than any so far held
you get some idea of the Importance
of it. Some seem to think that it lis
a gathering of a few farmers, who
are interested in the growing of POI
tatoes. It's that, and a great deal
more. This convention lis a big thing
for Grand Rapids and the way we
handle it will mean good or bad adj
vertising for the city. Get in and
help the Merchants & Manufactur-
ers Association make this big nation
wide convention a success.
