| have been we'll repaid for my trip
here, to say nothing of the good time
| have had as we'll as seeing many
other interesting things at Baltimore
and particularly at our national capt.
tai, Washington. AS l again viewed
and encircled our capitol building, Wis
tied that wonderful building, the Con-
gressional Library, Army and Navy
building as we'll as others, the thot
that was foremost in my mind was
what pity it is that thousands upon
thousands of our good people never
have had and perhaps never will have
the opportunity to see and learn for
themselves something of their own
national capitol. They should visit
there, by all means. I know that it
cannot help but awaken a spirit of
that peculiar something that every
nation needs. You just simply cannot
go there, see those wonderful massive
buildings, those history repeating sta
tues and monuments of our heroes of
bygone days, without being inspired
to the greatest of patriotism and i'm
bued to live different, better and work
on to greater things for the good of
your own country.
| surely hope that many of our good
people at home will some day avail
themselves of seeing Washington.
They owe it to themselves as we'll
as to their country.
Trusting that all is we'll in dear old
Grand Rapids, remain, with kindest
good wishes to you all,

JACKSON
MILLING co.
President, Secretary and Treasurer
Re-elected-Guy Nash to Re-
move to Grand Rapids.
From Stevens Point Journal:

From Stevens Point Journal:
At the annual meeting of the Jack
son Milling company, held at the
home office in Grand Rapids on Tues
day, the present officers were re-
elected as follows: President, l. P.
Witter; secretary and treasurer, Guy
Nash. The only change in the official
organization of the company was
that Carl Haertel of this city was
elected a director to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of John Horton.
Mr.. Haertel, however, will continue
as general manager of the Stevens
Point, Amherst and Jacksonville mills.
Mr.. Nash, who has been in active
control of the Stevens Point and Am
herst mills for the past five years,
with Mr.. Haertel as general manager,
has resigned that position and in
September will remove with his fam
lily to their former home in Grand
Rapids. When Mr.. Nash came here
it was in the hope and expectation
that the local water power owned by
the company would be fully developed
an expectation which, it is to be re-
GREETED, has not as yet been realized.
Mr. Nash's family has lived here
nearly two years and during this
time both have taken active inter
ests in church and social affairs and
the announcement Of their prospec-
tive removal will be much regretted.

Swimming POOL
PATRONS

During this hot weather the swim
ming pool is largely patronized. 1t
behooves every patron, or visitor, to
leave money, jewelry and valuables of
any kind at home as there is no safe
way to care for it at the present dress
ing rooms. The management urges
everyone to leave valuables at home
for safe keeping. The water in the
pool is drained off every night and re-
filled every morning. This is done for
sanitary purposes, therefore you can
not battle between the hours of 10 p.
m. and a. m. the next morning.
twenty-five of the lockers or stalls
are ready for use in the ladies dress
ing room building. They expect to
put in so lockers on the ground floor
of said building.
Many find pleasure and comfort in
bathing in the swimming pool these
hot days and all should do their part
to help support it and care for it.

The following interesting letter ex-
plains itself:
New York, July ii, 1916.
Mr.. A. L. Fontaine,
Wood Co. Reporter,
Grand Rapids, Wis.
Ny Dear Mr.. Fontaine:
Thinking that it might be of some
interest to you and folks at home to
hear just a word from or about the
great German Uboat "The DeUtsch-
land" the first to cross the Atlantic
l write you and am glad indeed to
let you know that it was my pleasure
to see this wonder of the day and bet
ter still, meet and talk with, in their
native language, members of the crew
which was very interesting to me,
assure you.
AS | grasped the hands of these
sturdy youngsters and heard their
stories, told with a smile, and yet
back of it a never-faltering determi-
nation, a thrill of something went
clean through me, one that | believe
awakened within me the realization
Of what prompts these men (mere
boys that they look to me- to do and
to dare the things they have done,
are doing and will do again. There
is absolutely no chance for argument,
it matters little where ones sympathy
may lie so far as this war is con-
cerned, this U-boat crossing the At
lantic is the latest proven wonderful
accomplishment of the present day,

become four shapes, the body and
head are worked with satin stitch
well padded. and the feelers with tiny
over.and-over stitches.
To begin the lace work, start on one
wing; first of all buttonhole two
stitches into the buttonholing done,
take very firm hold. Then, work
ing from left to right, make two more
buttonhole stitches; now work from
right to left, make two buttonhole
stitches into the thread connecting
the stitch groups, but only sew into
the material itself at the end of the
row.
Each row can increase or decrease,
according to the shape to be filled in,
but the material must not be sewed
into except as stated.
The last row of the shape is worked
into the buttonhole round material
like the first row.
This lacework is a surface from
under which the material can be cut
away. and the pattern looks like lace
let in.
Some of the holes should be worked
over and over to represent the spots
on the butterfly's wings.
The necessity . for buttonholing
round the shape will now be seen; 1t
keeps the pattern firm. The material
underneath the lacework must be cut
away most carefully so that the out
line is not cut into.
The embroidery can be worked on
linen. damask, lawn, silk, etc., it is
very strong and washes beautifully
The idea need not be limited to
white; the butterflies or other de-
signs look beautifully worked in col
ored silks on buff colored linen.

SETTLED A KNOTTY POINT
sity Has Made a Somewhat I'M
portant Decision.

On what day does one become of
age?
This question was suggested by a
story in the Missourian which told
how couple had to wait "a hours for
marriage license. because they ap-
piled on the day before the prospective
brides eighteenth birthday anniver-
sary.
or course no one thinks of having
a birthday celebration on any day ex-
cept the anniversary, but. according to
Manley o. Hudson, professor of law
in the university. a persons age
changes legally the first instant of the
day before the anniversary of his birth
day.
THE reason, said Professor Hud-
son, lis that it is not convenient to
count the fractions OF day as would
have to be done in case the change
were determined by the exact time the
person was born. On the day before
ones birthday, one has completed an
even number of years of life, and it Is
figured that the age changes on that
day. university Missourian.

Happiest Man i'm World.

The happiest man in the world lives
in Pittsburgh, according TO Charles M.
Schwab. In other words, Mr.. Schwab
gave out name conundrum that not
many New Workers could guess. but to
which almost any Pittsburgh school
boy or girl could give the answer with
out batting an eyelash. Here is the
manner in which he conveys his mean
ing without mentioning any names:
In Pittsburgh is an old friend of mine,
an astronomer, who at thirty or forty
was known as a master of his chosen
field. He has hardly any money. But
Id give up mine if l could be a SUI
premely great scientist like that man."
Mr.. Schwab predicated his guessing
contest with the statement that riches
do not bring wealth, although brains
do. You get your real enjoyment out
of life If you possess brains, the ability
to do productive, creative work." he
