OH! LISTEN
TO THE BAND
Benefit Entertainment To Be Given
Friday, March 10, At Days
Theater.

you're all invited and the band will
play
And we're going to have some fun"
Don't forget that the WARO-
LOGUE next Friday night at Days
theater is for the benefit of the Grand
Rapids band.
E. J. D. Larson, the famous war
correspondent of the Minneapolis Tri-
bune will give talk and illustrate
what he saw with about 200 pictures
taken at the front in the Great Eur
opean war.
Mr.. Larson spent more than three
months in the war zone and pene-
trated to the first lines of defense.
He will relate an amazing number of
stirring incidents.
There are two reasons why you
should attend this "Warologue" one
is that you hear this celebrated man
and be benefited by his talk and his
pictures, the other is that you will
be helping the Grand Rapids Band.
The Grand Rapids Band was or
ganized at the earnest solicitation of
the citizens of this community-they
| wanted a real band-now you have it
support it.

cunning little high crowned effects
without brims, or the fetching little
Directoire bonnets, lend themselves
very prettily to the cherry habit. Fol
lowing the cherry, the favorite fruits
for hats are green and purple grapes,
peaches, plums, strawberries, oranges
lemons and apples for daughters of
Eve. Some Of the big, fat garden hats
have an array of fruit around their
fiat, platelike brims, their vivid colors
glowing against background of CLOS

But why leave out the rest of the 81
varieties of the sartorial menu? Sure

net or pineapple picture hat would
be tasty little head pieces for the fruit
full fashions.
Just to what lengths can fruits go
is best answered by the fact that not
only do they grow on spring millinery,
but on parasols, bags, umbrella
handles neck ruffs, belts, sash ends,
jacket lapels, blouses, frocks, negli-

FOR APPROPRIATION
AGAINST APPROPRIATION -
Mark X in the square after the one
you wish to vote for.
Bill No. $50 was introduced into the
legislature by Assemblyman George P
Hambrecht at the instigation of the
officers of the Merchants & Manufac-
turers' Association and became law.
The members of the Merchants &
Manufacturers Association should
each make it his business to instruct
people who are not familiar with the
bill as to what it means and to vote
for the appropriation. Failure to do
this may mean defeat for the measure
as most people who do not under
stand ballots for appropriation usual
ly vote against them on the general
principles.
The carrying of this measure will
mean a great deal to Grand Rapids
and everyone of the citizens. 1t will
mean opportunity for further indus
trial development, increased popula-
ton and better business city and a
better community to live in. Anything
that builds up is bound to be benefit
to each one in the community. Vote
for the appropriation on the separate
ballot.

Attorney A. J. Crowns, Nekoosa,
who has law offices in the MacKinnon
building on Grand Avenue has an
nounced that he will be candidate
.or supervisor from Nekoosa to sue

The people Of Nekoosa should con-

opportunity of sending such man as
Mr.. Crowns to represent the thriving
zillage on the county board.
Mr.. Crowns is a lawyer of several
years practice and parlamantarian
of considerable ability. His success
as an attorney augurs well for his con

1t is doubtful if any one will have
the temerity to come out in opposi-

WILL VOTE ON
IMPORTANT
MATTER
Matter of Annual Appropriation To
Come Up At April Election. OF
Much Importance To City.

One of the subjects that will de-
mand the attention of the voters at
the coming spring election will be the
matter of voting on the question as
to whether or not the city shall take
advantage of the law passed at the
last session of the legislature which
authorizes the common council of cit
les to make an annual appropriation
of certain amounts according to the
size of the city, the money to be used
for purpose of aiding and encourag-
ing the location of manufacturing, in
dustrial and commercial plants therein
and other purposes designed to in
crease the population, taxable prop
erty and business prosperity of such
city and for the purpose of defraying
the necessary expenses incurred in re-
lation thereto. Moneys so appropriate
ed shall be expended by the council
for such purposes.
This opportunity given to the voters
of this city to have the council ap-
propriate annually $4,000 (that being
the amount the bill allows cities of
| the third and fourth class to appropri-
ate) will undoubtedly be carried at
the election as it will mean a certain
sum of money placed in the hands OF
the council for industrial develope-

OUR GRAND
Fathers GAVE
IT ITS name
Quantity Named Tobacco Used fo
Generations.

The chief interest of names lies ir
the fact that if traced back to their
origin, they are found to relate tC
some historic event, some ancient le-
gend, or some real or fancied resem-
blance to other things. Even names
of people were originally given on &C
count of some physical popularity, OF
the occupation by which they earned
their livelihood.
One of the peculiar names that is
familiar throughout this section of the
country is Niger Hair-the name of
very old and popular smoking tobac-
co.
This tobacco was used and loved
by our grandfathers, whip jokingly
identified it by this quaint name on
account of it's long, kinky strands
of which it is made. The name "stuck"
and no attempt has ever been made
to supplant it by anything more eu-
phonious or dignified. 1t would doubt
less be unwise to do this, as the to-
bacco is used by thousands of smokers
who can find nothing to take the place
of it's rich, mellow, distinctive flavor,
and who might become confused or
made suspicious by any change in the
name. Even the humblest name may
in time become immensely valuable
if coupled with an article of superior
merit.

LARSON WAR
TALK FRIDAY
MARCH 10
Famous War Correspondent of the
Minneapolis Tribune Will Show Pic.
lures of the War and Give a Waro-
logue For the Benefit of the Band.

Friday, March 10, is the date set
for the appearance here of E. ]. D.
Larson, war correspondent of the Min
neapolis Tribune, with his "waro-
logue" and great collection of pictures
taken by himself in the horrible Euro
pean struggle. While Mr.. Larson
seeks to avoid gruesomeness in his Of
fering it is declared that no man, no
matter how rabid a militarist he is,
can hear his talk and see his pictures
and ever be as keen an advocate of
war again. The talk will be strictly
neutral
Mr.. Larson's appearance here will
be an event of particular consequence
The privilege of visiting the trenches
where the grim industry of modern
warfare is carried on has been granted
to few persons from private life, hence
the opportunity of hearing what it is
like from the mouth of one who has
seen the trench fighting with his own
eyes Is an unusual one.
Mr. Larson returned to the United
States in November. He is now tour
ing the northwest, bringing the les
sons of the European horror to the
American people, under the direction
of the International Lyceum bureau
of Chicago. His appearance in Grand
Rapids will be under the auspices and
by the arrangement of the Merchants
& Manufacturers Association and for
the benefit of the Band.

| Occasionally in winter we have a
light snow which lasts but a few days
and in summer rainfall is not nearly
as frequent as in Wisconsin.
Fruit raising and truck gardening
are the chief occupations the
ranches being irrigated for this
purpose. The population is about g.
500 and made up of people from every
state in the union who come here in
the interest of their health. The ma
jority have tubercular and asmathic
affections and it is truly wonderful
what this climate does for them.
We have here churches of nearly
every denomination, the largest of
which is the Methodist with a seating
capacity of 1000 and the Presbyter-
ian with between 800 to 900.
The schools are the very best, both
as to construction and equipment The
curriculum embraces outdoor physical
training under an able instructor and
a trained nurse, so poorly nourished
children can be properly instructed
and cared for; domestic science, gym

The Colorado State Penitentiary is
located here and behind it's great grey
walls are confined over 800 convicts
This institution has the best honor
system in the world which is evidence
ed by our good roads and highways
which are convict built. Prison offic-
ials are interested in developing the
talents of prisoners. The new adj
ministration building just recently
completed was designed by one Of the
convicts and the entire building was
constructed and furnished by convict
labor. Last year the warden from

investigate the system and incorpor-
ate it in the Wisconsin prison.

mont's Peak, named after the County;
the Sanger De Christie range, meaning
the Blood of Christ; and looking down
you will observe craggy wall Of rock
carved by Natures own hand extend
ing a distance of $500 feet. At the
foot Of this precipice runs the Arkan-
sas River and close by it, the railroad
tracks which as viewed from the top
appear as miniature river and toy

NEW YORK, March "a cherry

settings for cherry, but naturally
the third is a charm. Just as every

smart spring hat have its first fruits
and the cherry is the favorite of the
bunch Dame fashion is masquerad-
ing as Pomona. In consequence, every
peach topped with few cherries,
goes around looking like a mixed

peach confines the cherries that go to

F FESTIVE PERIOD
OF THE JEWS
SOON
Feast Of TaDernacieS or Sue
Goth viii Commence Wed
neSday of Next Week.

The Jewish feast of Tabernacles or
Succoth will commence on Wednes-
day evening, October IL, and will
last for nine days. According to the
/ Bible the feast lasted only seven DAYS.
In the course of time. however. the
( feast was heightened to nine days:
the last two being the Eighth day Of
solemn assembly or the feast of con-
clusion, and the day Of the rejoicing
for the law.
Succoth, means booths, and the
name owes It's origin to the fact that
on this feast many families build
festive booths in which the holiday
meals are served. In some cases pious
people will spend all the days OF the
feast living in tho booth in order to
give literal fulfllment to the lnjunc-
tion; In booths shall ye dwell seven
days"
The frail booth built as temper
airy dwelling, an imperfect shelter
from the elements, is to remind man
that he is constantly under the pro-
lection of the Almighty. Just as the
fathers Of Israel were under His pro-
lection in the wilderness. I'm order
that your generations may know that
l made the children OF Israel dwell
in booths. when l brought them up
from the land OF Egypt"
The sentiment of the feast is root
co deep in the ancient agricultural
life Of Israel. Succoth was one of
the great pilgrimage festivals. The
other two we're Passover and Feast of
Weeks. EacI of these was at the
harvest time Of some particular crop.
On these three occasions tho people
from all over the laod of Canaan
would journey to the Holy City and
spend the festival there. This feast,
Succoth, known also as the Feast of
Ingathering was at the time of the
gathering of fruits. Tho booths Their
fore may be reminiscent of the booths
erected by the busy harvesters as tenn
porary dwellings in the field. The
palm branches and the willows, the
myrtle and citron still borne in pro-
cesslon around the synagog on this
feast also suggest this ancient har-
vest setting.

In the winter season when rain was

service was held in the temple; and
to this day the prayers for the last
day of Succoth include special prayers
for rain, which are continued IN the
services until the time when spring
