Blu SINESS MEN

BUSINESS MEN ATTENTION.
All the members Of the Merc hants
& Manufacturers Association of this
city have gone to considerable ex-
pense in joining this Association. 1t
is now up to them to get value re-
ceived therefor. After reading over
the Constitution and Bylaws, as
published in the local newsp not
only the members, but everybody
that reads the newspapers have had
an opportunity Of knowing fully the
object and purposes of this Associa-
ton. They stand fer the upbuilding
Of the city OF Grand Rapids and the
county of Wood. 1t means that the
business men of Grand Rapids are
going to unite together and pull to-
gether as a unit for the enlargement
Of the commercial interests of our
city. The membership lis divided up
into committees of each line of bust
ness which will make it their object
Of improving that branch in which
they are directly interested r.
They will have monthly meetings
and special meetings subject to the
call Of the executive comni ttee. What
is for the best interests of the bust
ness men and manufacturers of
Grand Rapids is for the best inter
ests of everybody residing in the
vicinity of Grand Rapids. One of.
the main objects of the Association
is for the business men to help each
other and to help their patrons who
desire to be prompt in the payment
of their obligations 1t should be
the aim and desire of every one who
resides in this city to pay their OBJ
is done by never contracting an OBJ
legation that you do not intend to
carry out and pay. Misfortune and
reverses are apt to come to the best
Of us. We are none of us wholly in
dependent of each other. There lis
no man in Grand Rapids who is so
rich lin this worlds goods, but what
he is dependent upon somebody for
the actual necessities of life. The
simple fact that he possesses money
and property is no sign that he is
wholly independent of his next door
neighbor.
We sincerely hope that every bus
mess man in Grand Rapids will line
up and become a member of this
Association Let us drop all petty
jealousies and selfishness and make
it point to give and take and work
for the better conditions of every
resident citizen of Grand Rapids. A
long pull, and a strong pull, thus or
ganized, will bring greater results
than any of us anticipate.

BOYS PERLI0US
POSITION.

A small boy riding large horse
bareback, startled some of the peo-
pie on the west side Saturday by do
ing what at first was taken for a
wild west stunt, but which before the
act was completed, was found to be
a narrow escape from injury. The
boy was riding west on Grand Ave,
when an interurban car came around
the corner Of Third avenue. The
horse jumped enough to make the
boy lose his balance. AS the horse
and rider crossed Third avenue, the
boy was seen to be hanging ON by
the reins and one leg thrown over
the horses back. The horse was
walking so the spectators thought tn
boy was doing a circus stunt and it
was not until the horse began acting
UP and the boy fell off that a reliza-
ton Of the fact that he had been
clnging in the above described at
titude to save himself from falling,
dawned on the spectators. Officer
Payne saw the boys periIous condi--
tion and ram out, stopped the horse
and helped the little fellow up. The
lad WAS not hurt and no damage 9th
er than a mussed up suit of clothes
and hat resulted from the experience.
The boy remounted his charger with
the Assistance of the officer and
proceeded on his way.

NEWSPAPER aEsPoNslRILlTY.

Josephus Daniels, Secretary Of the
Navy, in an address delivered Labor
day. to al press urged all
editors to- subordinate their news to
the service ~of, the country. He parti-
cularfy felt, that-in this time when
international issues are involved, news
papers should be careful what they
print: - :,
This is good advice. But few peo-
pie realize how largely editors al
ways do follow these counsels.
Where there are controversies as
to the publication or non-publication
CT news, they almost always arise
over some, personal wrongdoing- "A

GETTING WASTE FRUIT TO The
CONSUMER.

One of. the common sights at this
time of year in rural sections is the
large amount of fruits and vegetables
that go to waste nearly every. year.
IN apple producing neighborhoods,i in
particular, it is comomn to see the
ground 7strewed with fruit that has
very considerable value. Similarly in
other products, if there is "a large
crop or if. the quality is a little off,
it proves Improbable to market the
whole supply. '-..a .~ 4
1t. seems pitifuI TO see a barrel
of apples beginning to rot under a
tree in the country, while. only a
hundred miles away there are poor
people who can afford no fruit to
brighten up their meager table.
Sometimes the trouble is the lack
of farm help Moresoften it is simp-
.ly a breakdown Of our oyer-elabor--
ate methods of distribution. Yet mid
clemens charges are not ordinarily
a very heavy percentage. And not
many retail provision dealers are
getting rich fast. .s@ -.
The splitting up of retail trade
into too many small units increases
the cost of distribution. If there
are 20 provision stores in a town
of 10000 peoples many of them must
be small affairs, in which overhead

WHEN A. NATION PRAYS FOR
B. PEACE.

WHEN A NATION PRAYS FOR
PEACE.
There is something peculiarly fit
ting in the act of President Wilson
designating a day of prayer in be-
half Of the cause Of universal peace.
1t is consistent in the President to
take action of this sort, we think, not
only because he, as representative of
the United States, has set. himself
squarely in favor of maintaining the
peace OF the world throughout his
term of office, but also because his
call of a great nation to a day of
prayer is in the broader view,mere-
~ the complement of his previous
call of the nation to an attitude of
strict neutrality in. respect to the
European conflict.
For. to a nation situated as is
the United States in this present con,
tinguency, a day of prayer for peace
can hardly be a day of partizan petit
ton that this side OF the other shall
have the victory. Such petitioning
would seem to be an exemp Publication
of almost anything other than the
true neutrality to which the Presi-
dent of the United States has pledg-
ed his people. And what could be
said for such partizan prayer as
would assume to dictate the course
of divine intelligence and Justice?
No, the day of prayer, as we see
it, is the natural and rightfuI culmi-
nation of the national stand for neu-
traIity;; for the nation, We think, at
ter having in the face of elements
and influences that would tend to
stir parlizanship. and prejudice to
an unusual degree, maintained a
stadiness that is little short of mar
velOus, may best approach Oct. in
that deep and true humility which
acknCW tedgesf the impotence Of mere
human views and Judgment and turn
willingly and trustfuIly to God for
the outcome, confident that the com
mon recognition of the one supreme
power is the surest means of hasten-
ing an outcome which shall be fun--
damentally right. Mere cessation OF
fighting does not mean peace. but
peace. follows naturally where there
is general recognition of the divine
Principle which works out justice
