BOWLERS ENJOY
BANQUET At HOTEL

The Bowlers banquet at the Conn
mercial House Thursday might was al
tended by Al of the local PIN knock
ers, The feed was something to talk
about and reflected great glory ON
that famous veteran of the Battle of
the Split Pin, Arthur P. Mulroy. To
say that those attending this BAN
qUet were pleased with the eats and
everything else would be putting it
mild
Otto Rcenius acted as toastmaster,
and called ON the captains of the
different teams to make a few re-
marks. Capt Victor Bornick of the
J. and H. team consented to sing
his famous war song, Get Out and
Get UNDER and in as much as his
team was slightly above the foun-
datiOn in the finish of the race, the
song was appropriate and made a
hit with the bunch. Art Mulroy also
favored the bowlers with two vocal
solos.
Capt. Matthews made a neat
speech in which he took all the
credit for the success of the league
for his team, for said Bob,
Weren't we the very foundation of
the league? Did not all the teams
build their average upon us? Was
it not a fact that each team cap--
tain grined when he was going up
against Matthews and smiling said
to himself, there is where we take
three straight. os, Matthews
team kept the league together
President Gleue was presented
with a handsome watch fob, the fob
being in the shape of a bowling ball
with the words, Presented by the
Grand Rapids Bowling Association,
engraved ON it.
Ed. Bassett was presented with a
bowling ball as appreciation of the
good work he did as keeper of rec
ord, averages, etc, G. A. Normimg-
ton and Jake Lutz, being in a class
by themselves and forming closed
corporation, the bowlers presented
them each with appropriate memen-
tos.
Well, everyone bad a good time,
and it is certain that the one sue
cessful thing that has been pulled
off in Grand Rapids and> carried to
a perfect finish was the Grand Rap
ids Bowling League in 1894.

POSTOFFICE DEPT. COOPER
ATES TO PERVENT FIRES

The postoffice department has just
repeated, in the current postal guide
supplement, the instructions through
which rural carriers are to report
forest fires to the proper authori
ties during the coming season. These
Instructions were first issued in
May 81, and during the past two
years the cooperation has resulted
in the detection and suppression of
many fires.
State and federal forest officers
will make a special effort this year
to get even more value out of the
service than has been obtained here
tofore. The usual procedure has
been for the state fire wardens or
federal forest officers to send to
the postmasters lists of local war
dens and patrOlmen, with their ad-
dresses and telephone numbers These
lists are given to the carriers with
instructions to report forest fires to
mem whose names appear thereonsor
to other responsible persons. This
year a special effort will be
made to follow up the sending out
of the lists by having the patrol
mem and wardens meet the carriers
personally and to take the initiative
in arranging such meetings, and also
to map out a pfam of action to be
followed.
Cooperation between the rural car
riers and the federal forest officers
will be effective in the twenty states
in which national forests exist and
with state forest officers in the
twenty states which have establish
ed their own fire protective systems.
1t is expected that the services of
the carriers will be particularly val
liable in helping to protect the new
national forest areas in the southern
Appalachians.

Several Other Fires.

Burning members blown by the
strong wind We're carried to nearby
houses and small blazes were started
ON the roofs, which however were
quickly extinguished by the firemen.
Several blocks north, 3 more small
roof fires were started. One of these
was ON a barn and was put out by
the neighbors using buckets, two root
fires on houses We're also put out in
this manner, but one fire got too
much start and before the firemen
got too much of a start and before
the firemen could lay a line of hose,
the fire had gained such headWay
that the entire roof and upper story
were entirely consumed. This house
was occupied by Wilbur Rounds.
All furniture moved out and saved
This is second time Wilbur Round
has been burned out within the last
two months.
The Ahdawagam Furniture Co.,
had men stationed ON the roofs of
their buildings yamd also each lumber
pile, ready to put out amy fire started
by flying sparks.
One of the houses which was set
ON fire by flying sparks was at least
Il a111 I,
Another, the Rounds houseywas three
blocks away.
The house occupied by Wilbur
Rounds is owned by Mrs Scheffcik,
of Milwaukee. 1t could not be learn
ed whether or not this building was
insured.
The firemen worked without food
or rest from shortly afternoon until
s o'clock in the evening. 1t was not
until that time that the firemen had
extinguished the smoldering mass in
the basement of the building and
felt that it was safe to leave.
Fire broke out again i'm the debris
in the basement at 1910 o'clock the
same night and it was necessary for
the west side company to go and ex--
tinguish it. The firemem resp Onding
to the last call did not get away
until midnight.
The Rev. F. Ciszewski, priest in
charge of the church, said he could
not make a statement at this time
as to whether or not the destroyed
building would be rebuilt.
River was pumped into the mains
during the time of the fire. Superin-
tendent Pfeiffer pumped from the
wells again before the firemen We're
through SO as to get all the river
water out of the mains.

SULPHUR ADVISED
FOR P0WDERY SCAB
Growers of Seed Potatoes Urged to
Use This Treatment in Addition
to FormaIdehyde.

Washington, D. c., May 13- On
account of the possibility of infec-
tion with powdery scab, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture is now rec
ommending all potato growers to
treat their seed potatoes with sui
phur. This is made expedient by the
fact that infected seed potatoes have
been shipped out of Maine, where
pOwdery scab now exists. Recent
tests Justify the Departments scien-
lists in recommending a thorough
dusting with flowers of sulphur af-
ter the potatoes have been cut, aus
a precaution against the disease, but
the treatment is by no means intend
ed to take the place of formalde-
hyde as a general disinfectant. The
formaldehyde and sulphur.
Before cutting, the potatoes should
be soaked for two hours in a solu-
ton of one pint of formaldleihyde to
thirty gallons of water They should
then be allowed to dry quickly eth
er in the open or while spread out
ON a clean floor. This is known to
be effective against common scab ant
black leg, and should therefore be
employed i'm all cases. Whether it is
equally effective against powdery
scab is doubtful and for this reason
the use of sulphur is strongly advis-
ed in addition The potatoes should
be cut first amd then busted thor
oughly with flowers of sulphur

A drive,or am automobile ride about
the city of GRAND Rapids and vic
unity viii convince anyone who will
take time to do So of the beauty "a
long the Wisconsin river and about
the city of GRAND Rapids. The citi-
zens of our city are taking special
delight in cleaning UP their prem
ises, repainting their buildings, plant
ing trees and shrubbery and in ey-
cry way possible beautifying their
places This has a favorable effect
upon the visitor in our midst
VIM Corcoran, the surveyor, has
been laying out some land that the
Catholic Cemetery Association have
purchased and added to their ceme
terry property and dividing it up
into lots and driveways so that it
cam be otherwise improved. Both
cemeteries are having excellent work
done and they have a very pleasing
outlook The lot owners are striving
to make the city of the dead some-
thing beautiful to look upon. We are
glad to announce that they are sue
ceeding.
A drive to Blron is very satisfying
from the fact that Geo. w. Mead, pres
ident and general manager of the
Consolidated Water Power and Pa
per Co. and VIM. Giebels, the land
Scape gardner, have been making wo
derful changes in that pretty little
village. The lots ON either side of
the main street have been filled in,
leveled UP and seeded. Trees have
BEEN planted ON either side, cement
sidewalks amd cement curbs put in
the entire distance The old Biron
home has BEEN re1nodeled inside and
out, redecorated and beautified, Civ
ing it an air of prosperity and beau-
ty that is very creditable to all those
concerned. Im a year or two the viii
lage of Birom with it's handsome new
school house, all its buildings paint
ed pure white, with the beautiful
lawns and landscapes throughout, the
village will be one of the attractive
places along the Wisconsin, river. All
this is due to the excellent manage
ment of Geo. w. Mead and his love
of civic beauty. Considerable work
with some money makes wonderful
changes in the looks of a, place
when the owner is willing to give
it direct attention We hope others
will follow suit as there are many

RAP IDS WINS
SUNDAY CAME
Bunts Break up Game in
Seventh

Inc lucky seventh how many
times are baseball games won or
lost in the lucky seventh? 1t is a
matter of baseball history that the
seventh inning of games has a favor
able or disastrous bearing on the
outcome OF more than half OF the
games played. Not only is the sew
enth inning, when the teams change,
the time which the died in the wool
fan takes to get up and stretch, but
it is the time when some fatal er-
rOr some batting rally, a wild pitch,
a passed ball or what not decide the
issue of the day.
Sunday, the Nekoosa team had
the Rapids shut out one to nothing,
until the seventh Benz was invin-
cible. In the seventh, the local man
ager signaled for bunt; Wachs,
bunted and beat it out. Art Fahr--
ner repeated Wachs stunt and L.
Fahrner followed suit Foster bunt--
ed and scored Wachs and A Fahr-
ner. This was where the Rapids
got Mr.. Benz nanny and when Reed
came up and changed the system by
batting out a clean single, which
scored L. Fahrner from second, Benz
goat was got for fair. The locals
scored one more in the eighth and
that ended the fun and the game
was won, to 2.
The Nekoosa team got ONE rum in
the fourth game and for a while it
looked as though this would be the
only rum scored.
Carlson. the new second baseman
for the Rapids, distinguished him
self by stealing second base in the
eighth. This was the only base pill
fered during the game.
There was about 200 paid admis-
sions to the game.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL AND
CHURCH TOTAL LOSS
Building Insured for $4,000 in Cooperative
Local Company

-Four smoke begrimed and fire
SCARED walls mark the site of what
was once the handsome red brick
building which was used by the
west side Polish people as a church,
school house and a sisters home.
A fire which broke out shortly af-
ternoon ON Monday left nothing but
four Scared walls and a ismoldering
mass of debris i'm the basement when
the hour of sunset came.
The fire which broke out first i'm
the basement and which was suppos-
ed to have been caused by crossed
wires, was the most difficult fire
to fight that the local departments
have had to contend with for many
years.
The fire seemed to spread between
the walls and partitions of the
building and it was not until about
40 o'clock that the fire broke
through the roof. At that time, the
cupdla and bellfry commenced to
burn and from then on it was seen
that the structure was doomed. At
cross that surmounted the bellfry mel
ted off and fell away, this was quick
ly followed by the crumbling up
and falling in of the bellfry which
was of sheet metal construction.
Shortly after this, the firemen ADAM
doned all hope of saving structure
and the attention of some was turned
to saving nearby buildings. At 3:20
the fire was absolutely beyond all
control and everything had been done
that the firefighters' could do to save
at least part of the building.
The building was valued at be
tween SIS, 900 and SIC 900 and was
insured for $4,000. The Polish so
cieties had almost finished paying
for this building and We're beginning to
look forward to the building of a
church, on the property across the
street from the school.
Hard Fire To Fight.
The fire was a difficult one
to fight as it was entirely inside
the wallis and between the bricks
and plaster. The use of tarred paper
in the construction of the building
caused such a dense smoke that it
was impossible for the fire men to
get very far inside the building. Men
equipped with smoke helmets would
have found difficulty in locating the
fire. The companies did everything
that they could do with apparatus
they had. -Four streams of water
We're thrown but the water MAIN ON
Tenth Avenue is so small that the
pressure was not sufficient to break
a window.
