PROSPERITY
SURELY COMING

Everything indicates that 1915 viii
be most prosperous year for all
who are so fortunate to live in
America.
James NJ. Pierce, editor of the
leading agricultural paper of Iowa,
says:
1 want to give you just a.few fig
ures to clinch my argument that We
are all of us-farmer and manufac-
turer and dealer aIike-enioyin IN
paralleIed prosperity. have before
me as I write, the report of the q.
S. Department of Commerce for the
month of September, the latest re-
port available. It shows that Amir
can foodstuffs are being exported in
record breaking proportions. For
instance:
Our beef exports for September
were eleven times that of the same
month last year. The total amount
was 100000.
Our canned beef exports for Sep
TENDER amounted to 100000 pounds
eight times that Of year ago.
Our wheat exports for September
were 100000 bushels. more than
twice that of the same month last
year.
Our exports of oats for September
increased from less than 333, 900
bushels last year to 1880, 900 bush
els this year.
Our barley exports for September
increased from $4,000 bushels last
year to $4,000 bushels this year.
Our exports of refined sugar for
September reached a grand total of
523 900 900 pounds whereas in Sep
TENDER, 1913, they were less than
100000 pounds.
Aren't these figures reassuring;
aren't they convincing? The men
who grew the wheat, the oats, the
barley and the cattle which produced
- beef found an enlarger market
nd an increased price. The men
who bought these foodstuffs from the
producer and sold them to the Euro
pean consumer made a good, legiti-
mate profit. The transportation COM
panies found business improving by
leaps and bounds. All classes OF
people are finding that prosperity is
being passed ground as never be
fore.

HOW TO USE
CANNED GOODS

MADISON. Feb. 3.-Ihere are
few things every housewife should
know about The canned goods which
she uses on her table.
Among these, according TO Eliza
beth 3. Kelly OF the agricultural ex-
tension service in home economics
OF the University OF Wisconsin, are
the sanitary conditions under which
The goods are put up; whether OF
not she IS saving herself IaUOr al
the cost OF sweat shop practice OF
other woman; and how TO buy and
use canned goods IN order to gel
the largest return for the money.
Following are few rules which
viii be OF help to the housewife in
tie purchasing, storing, and use Of
canned articles:
Don't buy a single can at q time.
You Can always save money by buy
ing the dozen cans or case.
Don't store in damp place, on
account OF rusting. or where the
temperature is either extremely hot
or cold. Freezing Injuries the consis-
tency and flavor and may break the
seal OF the can. The average base
ment is all right.
Don't let contents stand in the
tin after it is opened. Should be
emptied into a glass or china dish
if TO be served without preparation,
or into sauce pan il to be heated.
Don't pour the liquor of the peas
or other vegetables, the best OF
the flavor is in the juice. Warm
the peas in the juice. Save the juice
for soups.
Don't cook peas, string beans. corn
ETC., as they are already cooked.
Simply heat and add butter and sea
soning, if desired.
Don't open can with a knife or
a Ratchet; get a good can opener.
Don't open or use the contents of
any can that is bulged or bIoated
SO the ends swell out. Few cans,
on account of defective soldering or
faulty tin plate will spoil, but they
are always guaranteed by the can
ner and the swelIs are the spoiled
ones. Take back to the grocer and e.
| change for a good one
Don't buy the most expensive can
ned peas if you want food value.
Those that retail at the high price,
the tiny ones, are usually very
small, tender little peas, used prin-
cipally for garnishing, and while
extremely tender and considered very
fine, are really not as good for
family use, considered from the stand
point of food value, as the medium
priced peas which are usually the
sifted or size three.

MARSHFIELD WINS
BASKET BALL GAME

The Grand Rapids high school
basket ball team met defeat at Marsh
field last evening.
The game was closely contested
and was any ones game right up TO
the last. The Marshfield boys final
ly won by a score of q to IS.
AID BASKET BALL
The first half ended with the
score 10 to 12 in favor of Marsh
field.
To Prout must be handed the ban
ner for good work on the Rapids
team. He shot five field baskets and
played a strong steady game.
It was nip and tuck, Marshfield
would score to be followed immediate
ly after by the Rapids. Time after
time the score was tied. It was a
hard game to lose.
Wausau plays here next Friday
and if Grand Rapids can beat Wau-
sau, it will be in a fair way to
enter the state tournament.

POST OFFICE
PROSPEROUS

The reports made to the depart
ment by Postmaster Robert i. Nash
show that there has been an increase
in the post office business in this
city over that OF last year. In the
money. order department alone the- >
has been a net increase of over 10
percent. And this increase shows
that there has been more money
paid cut at this Office than has
been sent away. This is an indfca-

getting a larger percentage of the
home trade than is had in many 9th
ar cities in the state.

He IS WELL
ARMED WHO HAS
TRUE COURAGE
Written Especially for the Reporter
Nv n N Ia Stern Divine

Written Especially for the Reporter
by an Eastern Divine.
Courage is a quality of mind and
soul which guides in action, pro
notes ability and increases efficien-
cy.
To have the courage of your con-
victions is heralded as great viz
tue, but to have a conviction that is
worth working for, and, if need be,
fighting for, is an even greater es-
sentiaI.
Courage consists, not in blindly
overlooking the danger but in see
ing and conquering it. The truest
courage is always mixed with cir
cumspcetion; this being the quality
that distinguishes the courage OF
| the wise from the hardness of the
rash and foolish .
| The one thing that will save the
world is the Christ spirit put into
practice = doing what you believe
ana believing onl. in the Dominion
of God-exempIItying good in every
act
There logically dyolyees upon THE
Christian churches the duty and the
privileges of entering, ever more
Iuny, this understanding of Christ
III the World.
Perhaps all the Christ spirit is
not found III the churches, but the
spirit OF the church reflects the spir-
1t OF doing good to all, and of pro
noting higher quality of Christian
character.
This is an immensely practical
question; this matter of doing good
work for the good of those about US
here and now.
There was a time, perhaps, when
church utilization may have been
ridicuIed, sometimes discouraging the
unwise and the unthinHng.
But now the church has taken a
great hold upon the big policy of
doing good to all, helping lift the
cad loIthers have to carry, OF
strengthening and promoting the
spirit of love and good will.
The man who has gotten the spir-
it is real Christianity does not seek
in vain for opportunity to do good;
it is ever at his door and always he
will be found working for it.
The church is the natural hub
of good work since it is the orga-
nization of people seeking to save
that which is more precious than
time, or money, or real estate -
the Souls of Men.
The question of church affiliation,
therefore, becomes one of the
prime needs of every human being.
It is. a privilege to flight the
good fight; to take hold with vim
and courage; to know our ground,
then do the best We can.
Every city has its special needs ;
this city has many needs and the
churches are striving 10 see those
needs and fill them.
If you have an uplifting thought or
helpful idea, take it into one Of the
churches and let them help you work
il out.
You are the one who can help in
courageous effort! VIII you?
"And follow after Righteousness
Goodness, Faith, Love, Patience
Weakness. Fight the good fight OF
Faith. lay hold on eternal life"
