THE CHAMBER
Of COMMERCE

The Merchants & Manufacturers
Association of Grand Rapids has made
application for membership in the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States of America
The key note of the National Cham
Der is service to American business.
It's function is not to establish lob
by or exert special influence but. by
the practical application of it's de-
mocratic constitution, to express the
needs of the nations business. It's
power rests altogether with it's consti-
tuent elements, for whom and by
whom it exists.
What in April 1912, was only an i
dea relative to the federation of the
commercial organizations of the ma
ton has become fact. An organi-
cation now exists without which act
ing political bias and on non-partisan
lines, focuses and gives voice to intelli-
gent business opinion.

RAPIDS QUINT
Wins FROM
NEKOOSA
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The Grand Rapids High School Bas-
ket Ball Team beat the Nekoosa High
school team last night at Nekoosa by
just 20 points. Nekoosa played on
its own floor but was unable to stem
the drive of the city fellers.
Stark starred for the Rapids-the
tall forward making nine field goals
or just one-half of the total points
piled up by his team. Johnson, the
other forward came a strong second,
making five field goals.
The team work of the Rapids boys
was exceptionally good and there is
no question but what this team is the
best team of basket ball men that has
ever represented the local high school.
The score at the end of the first
half was Rapids IA, Nekoosa 6. In the
second half, the Rapids played even
better than in the first and while they
were piling up an additional 81 points,
the villagers could only secure 10.
Fairchilds of Stevens Point refereed
the game. The next two Fridays are
open dates. Efforts are being made
to arrange games with either Medford
high school or with the Laurence fresh
men.
