ROADS UNDER CONSTRUC-
TON BETWEEN GRAND
RAPIDS AND MkRSHFIELD

On account of automobiles, especial
ly of the heavy type, getting stuck
between Grand Rapids and Seneca
Corners, due to the building of Gull
verts at the present time, within the
last few days, it occurred to me
that perhaps the travelling public
would appreciate a little information
as to which road to go when travel
ing between Grand Rapids and
Marshfield; also those wishing to &C
to Pittsville and back from these
two larger cities.
The main road between Grand Rap
ids and Pittsville will be some
what torn up and under construction
all summer, though the road will not
be closed to public travel, and any
one getting in trouble passing a
round a culvert under construction,
will be cheerfully helped out by the
county crew at the expense of the
Highway Fund, but there is some
risk to automobile travellers in TAX
ing a chance on roads under repair,
and a few miles, more or less, is
more cherfully made by an automo-
bile owner than to get stuck in a
soft place Consequently, l would
recommend through our local papers
that the travelling public use other
roads than the main roadfrom Grand
Rapids to PittsvilIe.
The road from Marshfield to Pitts
vile, by the way of Klondike, will
also be under repair from now on
for almost the rest of the season, so
anyone passing between Pittsville
and Marshfield, [ would recommend
that the road around by the Insane
Asylum be used
The road from the Yellow River
Bridge, running west one-half mile,
between the Town of Lincoln and the
Town of Rock, is at present being
and traffic on this roa
will, for a period of ten days be en-
tirely suspended.
The main road between Grand Rap
ids and Babcock, via Cranmoor Sta
ton. is entirely closed up on account
of a new bridge being under con-
across Cranberry Creek, so
anyone desiring to pass between Bah
cock and Grand Rapids must take
the road leading out by Gaynoris and
Arpins marshes, which road lays fur
Their west than the main road
Hoping, Mr.. Editor, that you will
give your readers this information,
l ann, Yours truly,
Louis AmundSOn.

NEW INDUSTRY
MAY LOCATE HERE

The Automatic Diner Machine Co.
of Chicago, have taken up the mat
ter of locating in this city, with
Mayor Cohen.Mr Cohen has made a
pretty thorough investigation of the
company and said this morning to a
Reporter representative that he felt
pretty sure that he would land the
industry for this city.
They ask for $4,000 and want to
rent or build a factory The COM
pany is over rushed with orders at
the present time and is having its
work done by other concerns.
The automatic diner is a slot ma
cline that has come into vogue in
the larger cities recently and which
seems to be giving great satisfaction
Such stores as the Fair in Chicago
are installing tham,which means, that
there will be a greater and growing
demand for them throughout the
country.
The machine is nickIe in the slot
machine fitted with a movable dial
The one wishing a lunch turns a
handle to a point opposite to what
he wants to eat or drink, puts in
his nickle and pushes the button He
can eat as much as he wishes and
get what he wants. 1t serves hot
ana cold dishes and all kinds of
liquids, which are kept in an en-
closed closet. These closets are alb
solutely sanitary ard dustproof.

versary Sunday

The members of the Evangelical
Lutheran congregation, West Side,
have reason to be proud of what
they have accomplished in their
church work in this community. Eff
teen years is not a very long time,
when you look back but when you

period. This organization has aCcum-
uEated in fifteen years a nice church

thousands of dollars This property is
nicely situated on the west side, not

beautiful part of the city. This SO

inie. Wisconsin, had charge of the
service and preached the sermon.
At $50 p. M, in the afternoon, the
principal anniversary service work
took place. Rev. r. Pautzpastor of
the Lutheran church on the east
side, had charge Of this ser
vice and delivered the sermon. The
English services took place at
100 p. M, Rev. Fl. G. Koch, of Doy-
lestown. delivering the sermon. All
of these services on this day were
attractive ones and historical in
their nature.
This church society was organized
fifteen years ago and consisted of
seventeen families. 1t is now made
up of a hundred and fifty families
The membership numbers over 500
COMMITMENTS. Their Sunday school

Rev Wan. Nommensen, the pres
ent pastor, has been with his con
gregation six and n half years He

highly respected and thought of by
all his communicates and by the com
munity as n whole During the past
fifteen years this organization has
had only two pastors the first. Rev.

For Woman Suffrage

Mrs. Armor, the speaker who
was advertised to speak under
the auspices of the w. G. T. U.
last Sunday afternoon and even-
ing, was unable to be present,
having been compelled to cancel
her dates by the serious illness
of her daughter, and Miss
Drake from Chicago gave the
address on women suffrage.
Miss Drake, was the opponet Of
"Bathhouse John" in q contest
for alderman from the first
ward in Chicago. The ''Bath-
house and Hinky Dink' have
always been acknowledged kings
Of the first ward, with the under
world of the city under contribu
tion to them, but the women had
them pretty we'll scared at the
last election, and the windy city
municipal affairs have been hav.
ing something Of a moral shake
up during the past few months.
The speaker told of her cam
paign in Chicago and stated that
while placing the ballot in the
hands of women would not nee
essarily revolutionize society yet
it would have a tendency for i'm.
povement, as it had done in
states where women had the
right to vote.

Promises to Reform

Quite a scandal was created
in town a few days ago by one
of our we'll known citizens beat.
ing his wife up. We withhold
the mans name, for he has
promised his wife that it will
never happen again, and as he is
now ashamed of his actions he
should not be condemned harsh-
" by other husbands. It was
at least $50 in the morning, and
eye witnesses declare that he
not only beat his wife up but
actually had the fire going and
the coffee pot on before the
surprised lady could get to
the kitchen and fully realize how
badly she was really beat.
