Held MEMORIAL
SERVICE SUNDAY
Annual Lodge of Sorrow Well Attend
ed and Most Impressive.

The annual memorial service held by
Grand Rapids Lodge No. sos B. P. O.
E. took place at the Elks' Club Sun
day afternoon at three o'clock. Va
cant chairs with wreaths on them
marked the places Of the departed
brothers, Nicholas Reiland and z. E.
Ames After the ceremonies were
concluded, these wreaths were taken
to the cemetery and placed on their
graves. The ceremonies opened with
q selection by the Elks' orchestra. This
was followed by an invocation by the
Rev. A. G. Fleidner. Following this
came the opening ceremonies by the
exalted ruler and officers of the lodge
The vocal solo, ''The Rosary" sung by
John Roberts, followed next in order
and after the opening ode sung by the
lodge, W. H. Carey gave the euIogy
on Nicholas Reiland. He paid tribute
to the sterling character Of the depart
ed brother. John Roberts gave the
eulogy on Elmer z. Ames and also
paid a glowing tribute to sterling
quality of Mr. Ames and reviewed
his life history. A vocal solo entitled,
"a Perfect Day." was sung by C. C.
Heritage after which came the address
by The Rev. George R. LongbraEe, B.
P. 0. E. No. 300, Lacrosse, Wis. Mr..
Longbrake talked on EIkdom, what it
stood for and what it has accomplish
ed. It was greatly appreciated by the
audience. The Elks' quartet composed
Of c. Heritage, Jackson, Natwick and
Lloyd WeIch gave number that was
very pleasing. Then came the clos
ing ode, the benediction was pronounc-
eddy the Rev. A. C. FIeidner.
These beautiful ceremonies in mem
orium Of the departed brothers were
attended by a large audience. This
was the first time they have been Civ
en- in the EIks Club and the effect of
having them given in the lodge room
with the officers at their respective
stations added greatly to the impress
siveness of the work The people who
attended were impressed with the solo

months of summer and the cold
months Of winter is absolutely neces-
sary to birds.
The present fashion Of erecting bird
baths of concrete or stone also drink
ing fountains on lawns and in gardens
is a most. humane and kindly act.
They should always be placed beyond
the reach of the slIulking cat. A bird
table built around tree high
enough to reach and yet out Of danger
Of cats is a great source Of delight to
birds.
Food placed on the table everyday
also water will attract many species
Of birds the year around.
Several years ago on a rainy Sun
day afternoon just before Thanksgiv-
ing, three little children were spend
ing the afternoon in a nursery, as they
needed occupation and amusement,
their mother gave them a text and
told them to write something about it,
q will praise God with my whole
heart"
One little girl wrote the following:
''When a canary drinks his water he
lifts up his little yellow head praising
God in joyful gladness and it seems
as If he said, @ my Savior, [ do
praise Thee for this water it tastes so
cool and fresh, Cheep, Cheep, Cheep.' s."
The little brother eight years old
wrote:
q" thank Thee 0 Lord, for all the
pleasure and happiness Of the last
gear-for all the birds that sing in the
tree top and for all the good birds we
have eaten, and for all ether useful
members of nature that Thou hast Civ
en- us"
So let US unite IN giving the birds a
Christmas this year, plenty of food
and water and at least one Christmas
tree in every home on which birds may
ind food.

RECORDS

In the December American Maya
zine Professor Charles Downer Hazen
tells some ludicrous incidents of the
Franco-Prussian war, describing doc
ument that is a modern curiosity:
cohesion was lacking, as were mum
bers," he says. "Many generals were
sent to command troops with which
they were entirely unacquainted.
"Not only soldiers, but sometimes
generals went astray, unable to find
their places. Have arrived at Belfort,'
telegraphed General Michel on July
21st, cant find my brigade; can't find
the general of the division. What shall
l do? Don't know where my regi-
ments are This document is proba-
bly, unique in military records. Ano-
Their general hunted for his artillery
staff; another for a cavalry corps
which did not exist"

Will
GRADUATENURSE
First Commencement Exercises of
Hospital Training School VIII
Be Held Friday Evening.

The first annual commencement of
Riverview Hospital Training School
for nurses will be held at the Elks'
Club Friday evening, December 10,
at eight o'clock.
This commencement will be in honor
and for the first nurse to be graduated
from the hospital training school, Miss
Ethyle Mae Enmes, has completed
the prescribed course and will have
the distinction of being the first nurse
graduated.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend the commencement and an excel
lent program has been arranged for
this occasion. Among the numbers
on the program will be a speech by
DR.. W. S. Lorenz Of the medical school
of the University of Wisconsin. DR..
Lorenz is said to be an exceptionally
fine speaker and the public in general
will find his remarks very interesting
and instructive Musical numbers will
be given and Miss Emmes will be
presented with her diploma.
This first commencement marks a
step in the progress of the Riverview
Hospital that is of great Importance
1t has not been generally known in
this city that Grand Rapids had
raining school for nurses and this fact
shows what little interest is taken by
he general public in the hospital work.

Upper Wisconsin Showing That Is
Hard to Equal

The manager of the L. Starks COM
pany Marinette county farm shows
net profit of $22 per acre on 151 acres
of cleared land for the year 1915. This
includes 81 acres of oats, II acres of
potatoes, 20 acres of hay and 10 acres
of corn for silage.
Certainly this is a good showing and
one that is not equaled in the regions
of the highest priced lands of the mid
die west in the average year. The
statement shows a gross income of
$3.50 and an expense of $1,000.
This indicates to some extent what
can be done on the cheap lands of up
per Wisconsin. 1t ought to be Of in
terest to homeseekers. 1t is big divi-
dend on a small investment-and that
is what we are all looking for.

tirely while the other leg consists of
only slight documentary growth.
Mentally the child is perfectly nor
NAL, has well developed body, good
internal organs, well developed head
and rather good looking face Ply
sicians here believe it will develop in
to person of more than ordinary
mentality.
DR.. E. L Bunker, the attending
physician, has started a movement
TO establish fund of $500 for the
child, the same to be maintained at
interest, the proceeds to be used for
the child's maintenance and educa-

Average age OF players killed
in 1915 ------------------l7 Is
Despite the general improvement
in the playing Of intercollegiate foot
ball, the gridiron dead for the season
approached the average casualty list
for the last fifteen years. The total
this season IS sixteen, as against thlr-
teen last year, fourteen in 1913, thir-
teen IN 1912 and eleven in 1911.
The killed do not come anywhere
near the totals Of 1903, 1905, 1909 or
1910 as is shown in subjoined table.
The highest mark was reached in 1903
with forty-four dead. The cutlery
which followed reduced the killed to
fourteen in the following year, but
again it rose to twenty-four in 1905.
Then came another tinkering of the
rules, with the game ousted in scores
of high schools and colleges. It will
be seen that the average is slightly
over seventeen for fifteen years, so
this years total is under the normal
casualty list.

CHRISTMAS
FORTHEBIRDS

A letter from the National Conser-
walton Chairman of the D. A. R., Mrs.
0. E. Allan to mrs. T. NacKinnon will
explain itself. It follows:
My Dear Mrs. MacKinnon.-
Mrs. Allan, National Conservation
Chairman, is most anxious to have car
ried out all over the country, a most
simple and inexpensive bird conserya-
ton plan. The thought is to set q
Christmas table fer the birds, realiz-
ing that in caring for the birds weshau
be indirectly aiding in soil, plant and
forest conservation. 7 am sending this
message to you, trusting that through
your influence each member Of the
Grand Rapids chapter may be induced
to have at least one Christmas tree
on which the birds may find food. Do
you not think the school children
would be interested in helping with
this good work?
Cordially yours.
Mrs. 0. A, Gertrude Lueck.
State Chairman Conservation, D. A. R
Waupun, Nov. 10Th.
The idea of helping conservation by
protecting the birds and encouraging
them to remain with US all winter, at
least feed them as they migrate, and
pass us by, IS a most Iaudable one.
A little kindness and thoughtfuIness
On the part Of the children and our
selves will bring the greatest pleasure
and reward.
The Scandinavians who are great
bird lovers always save a bundle of
grain in the autumn for the birds
Christmas, " ich is stacked where the
birds can find it and with the addition
# a piece OF suet tied securely to the
Dough Of a tree and some water placed
where the birds can find it morning
md evening ere it freezes brings a
wonderful happiness to the peasants,
no matter how poor they may be.
The Natural Geographic Magazine
Of March 1914 has an article "Encour-
aging Birds Around the Home" and
gives a splendid idea Of the many ways
that birds may be encouraged and pro
tected around the homes both in Win
ter and summer. Perhaps the sim
pIest scheme of feeding and the least
trouble, and the most attractive to q
number Of birds is tying a piece OF
suet to a convenient limb of a tree, or
perhaps to a balustrade of ones piazza
or. preferably in a protected spot, and
one that can at the same time be
watched from the window, a living
Room. The suet must be securely
wrapped around with white string so
that when the birds pick at it, it will
not break and fall to the ground.
There are various ways Of making
shelters for birds, holding such food
as crumbs, grain and all sorts of bird
seeds, also dried fruit, prunes or cher
ries, which they dearly love.
These food houses are even erected
along the main streets Of some towns
entirely apart from any protecting
shrubbery or natural food supply,
and it is charming to see how well
these food houses are patronized both
summer and winter.
