NEAL GRIGNON
NOW PETTY
OFFICER
Grand Rapids Boy Passes Rigid Naval
Examination and Is Now A First
Class Plumber.

A letter from Neal Grignon, now
First Class Plumber in Uncle Sans
Navy furnishes some interesting data
on what happens aboard ship Neal
starts by saying that his ship, the
Texas" is now at Great Harbor, Guile
bra Island in the u. S. West Indies.
He says that they had war games all
the way down from New York. The
ships company found everything nice
and green and flowers in full bloom
and the weather is as warm as a
summer day in Grand Rapids" He
said he went over to the island and
had a good swim but could not
converse with the people as they are
all "Spicks" and can not talk English.
Oranges were selling three for five
cents, bananas, cocoanuts and sugar
cane are also very cheap. Some of
the shore party returned to the ship
with six billy-goats and four pigs.
Petty Officer Grignon says the Com
mander almost went "crazy" when
this happened.
The ship viii stay at this point for
a few weeks before going to the drill
grounds at guantanamo, Cuba.
The big guns will be fired Monday.
Mail is received every four days. Pet
ty Officer Grignon closes his letter
telling of the examinations he took
and his promotion from the ranks of
ordinary seaman. Any of Grignon's
friends wishing to write him should
address him; Neal Grignon, U. S. S.

UNION TABERNACLE SERVICES
FOR GRAND RAPIDS

Last night at the Congregational
church, meeting of committees from
five churches in Grand Rapids met and
definitely decided to unite for a cam
paign of religious work in Grand Rap
ids. Business men were present and
after some discussion the vote was u
unanimous to arrange for a five week s
evangelistic cmpaign if good outside
help can be obtained. The work at
Waupaca was referred to, and a COM
mittee was appointed to visit that city
to investigate and to report on the ad-
visibility of taking up a similar kind
of work here in Grand Rapids.
Rev. S. A. Sheard formerly of Grand
Rapids, and now pastor of the Meth
odist church at Waupaca was present
and spoke enthusiastically of the work
there. Details of the plan of work
were presented by Mr.. A. C. Bracket
one of the workers at Waupaca.
If the plan goes through, a large
tabernacle will be erected for EN-
porary use, a building that will &C
commodate 1000 people.

The students are just laying in their

NIELSVIL[IANS
DEFEATED BY
HIGH School
From Saturdays Daily.

The husky quint of basket shooters
from Neillsville met a team last night
IN Browns speed boys that put q
crimp in any idea they had that they
would be in the championship run
ming. The Neillsvillians were out
played from the first foot of the whist
lie. They never had even look in.
The quint from over near Marshfield
made all of their field baskets in the
first session and then only got four.
While the villagers were getting these
four baskets, Pal Johnson for the To-
calls shot four which conteracted the
four made by the Neilsvillians. To
help things along, Levine counted two
Stark counted two and Smith made
one giving the Rapids Speed Boys a
total of nine baskets or a, score of IS
at the end of the first half.
In the second stanza Pal Johnson
added three more baskets to his col
umn of shots and beside put the bal
loon through the rim for three free
shots, Starks was the only other Rap
ids man to put it through the rim
and made one. This added II to the
Rapids score and all Neillsville could
do was to gather in two free throughs.
They had several chances to get free
shots, but did not have a qualified
marksman among them who could
be relied upon as first line Of de-
tense.
The final score of the game was
Rapids 20, Neillsville 10. There was
a good attendance at the game and
it seems that the people of Grand
Rapids were really waking up to the
fact that we have an unusually high
class high school basket ball team.
Let the good work go on and boost
these boys into the state championship

HOTELS AND
RESTAURANTS
ARE INSPECTED
Out of 365 Inspections Only 95 Cases
Were Ordered Improved.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 3.-Out OF
365 inspection of hotels and restaur-
ants made by the three state inspec-
tors in January, it was necessary to
| issue orders for improvements in 95
cases, or rs per cent. Thirty-two cit
les and villages were visited. From
90 inspections in Milwaukee, only
two orders were necessary; in 80 in
spectlons in Fond du Lac, five orders
were issued, and of inspections in
Sheboygan the number of places de-
handing orders to remedy conditions
below the standard was six.
Monroe had 80 inspections and T
orders; GAINESVILLE SO inspections and
IA orders; Beloit 33 inspections and II
orders; Lacrosse 43 inspections and II
orders; and Tomahawk IA inspections
and 4 orders.
In Milwaukee frequent Inspections
have had the effect of remedying for
mer bad sanitary conditions in many
hotels and restaurants, and the small
proportion of orders issued there last
month is one result of the cleanup
movement. The attitude of the hotel
men Of the state regarding inspection
of their properties is one of full CO.
operation in nearly all cases. Instanc-
es where defects are remedied volun-
tarily without the necessity of a for
NAL order are daily reported. In
spectors prefer this procedure to the
necessity of ordering the desired chan
ges through formal mandate.
The inspectors pay careful regard
to fire protection Exits must comply
with the law, standard fire extinguish-
ers must be at the head of all stair
ways, and notices in each guests room
must tell where exits are to be found.
At the exits must be the required red
lights and notices.

CITY IN GRIP
OF EPIDEMIC

Scarlet fever, measles and whoop-
ing cough are prevalent in the city at
the present time. All of these dis
eases are contagious and dangerous.
To prevent their spread, the Health
Department asks the cooperation of
The people in stamping them out.
The state law requires that all con-
tagious diseases be reported immedia-
tely to the city health department and
failure to do so is punishable by q
fine.
Other diseases that must be reported
to the city health officer are German
measles, typhoid fever, chicken pox,
small pox, tuberculosis, meningitis,
and diphtheria.
If every citizen would consider him
self part of the health department,
and report these diseases, we would
soon be able to stamp out all this con-
sagion from the city. We, the health
department, want your help and with
it we can stamp out disease, prevent
sickness, lessen your living expenses
and keep death away from-your home.
It's up to the citizens. They must
report contagious diseases and unless
this is done, some drastic measures
will have to be taken to enforce the
law.

FOREIGN BORN
ADULTS
To Receive Local School instruction
To Prepare Them For Naturai-
cation.

by the Clerk of Court, Grand Rapids,
Wis, through suggestion of natural
ization examiner.)
A new step in an educational move
ment, having nation wide proportions,
is being made in the way of teaching
foreign born adults the English lang
uage, matters relating to the form
of our Government, local and general.
duties of citizenship, and the like. The
Grand Rapids school authorities, and
more particularly, the local Industrial
Board of Education, through the ur-
gent recommendation of the United
States Naturalization Examiner Mart
in J. Kilsdonk of st. Paul, have adopt
ed a plan of instruction for these
grown up aliens in which connection
evening classes will Immediately be
instituted here on both sides of the
river. The classes will be conducted
weekly, and possibly semi-weekly
and will have courses in English
for Foreigners" "Civics," and "Citizen
ship" thus enabling, to say the least,
prospective candidates for citizenship
to pass the educatioal test in court
as qualification for their naturaliza-
ton teach them American ideals,
and serving to more thoroughly Amer
icanize the people here from other
lands. In many cases, it will natural
ly follow, aside from the advantages
accruing to the country and State at
large and the local community, that
the adult attending these classes can
thereby fit himself for a better posi-
ton and will be in better position to
earn a livelihood for himself and his
family. The wives of aliens, and other
adult women, are also invited to take
part in the courses Of instruction of
fered by these free night schools The
law considers the citizenship status
of women to follow that of her hus-
band, and it is therefore almost equal
ly important that she shall also be fam
liar with what our institutions stand
for. Greater love for America and
her institutions can be installed in
the hearts of aliens only according as
they know them, and it remains for
our citizens to offer them the oppor-
tunity to learn what we have and to
provide facilities for their instruction
The Bureau of Naturalization at
Washington, D. c., is Systematically
cooperating with the public schools
all over the country with view of
bringing these aliens to the school
doors, there to be shown the opportun-
ity to learn American ideals, to be-
come familiar with our language, to re
move ignorance from the minds of the
resident aliens, and to thereby create
patriotic feeling in their hearts.
The schools of this city invite the
attendance of the foreign borns to it's
classes; we will eventually have a
more intelligent citizenry and litter
acy among the foreigners may become
a thing of the past. We believe that
the Americanization of aliens should
be a process taking place previous to
their admission to our citizenship
Superintendent of Schools Schwede
is working on the perfection of plans
for the successful operation Of these
schools, and men and women DESTROYS
of attending these classes will do well
to confer with him.
