VESPER

The straight road. or the old county
road, from Vesper to Grand Rapids is
in splendid condition from the Eight
Corners Cheese Factory down to the
Rapids. When the remainder of the
road from Eight Corners to Vesper
is put up to grade it would be advis-
able Co have the federal trunk line
changed onto this road. It would not
only shorten the distance, but it
would relieve the heavy traffic on the
county trunk line from Seneca Corn
ers into the Rapids Along the south
end Of the county trunk line the soil
is too light to stand up under the
traffic as a dirt road, and it is almost
impossible to repair a road that goes
to pieces so easy.

American soldiers III France are at

The Fourth Liberty Loan is our next
objective.
There is no geography, political or

like love their flag and are ready to
die for it. We continually insist for
all parties that the war be kept out
Of politics and that partisanship be
kept out of the war.
Just as in Congress the Repubi-
cans led the fight that made possible
the passage of the great war measures
so now the Party membership and or
ganization has an immediate. definite
war task in the accomplishment Of
which it can fully function. l repeat
let there be no contest in this country
as to anything that touches the war
except that contest-who best can
serve, who most can give.
The success of the Fourth Liberty
Loan shall be the Republican party's
supreme motif of thought and action
until that objective is attained.
Wherever Republicans are together
by two or two thousand, it shall be a
win-the-war meeting. Just as the Re
publican party's every action at all
times has been and shall be determined
solely by how we can contribute most
to the wars success, so now our every
thought and action shall be determined

The Bury the Hammer" Spirit

Every town has two types Of citi-
ze1s, and you can see them classify
themselves every day. The typical
knocker sits on his front porch and
groans over this or that fault in his
home town. Perhaps his complaint
is that the street is in such a dirty
condition. Why don't the street de-
partment get after it, he growls mad
he telephones complaint into their
office.
Other people reflect that the street
appropriation is usually in an exhaust
ed condition, and the road workers
have only about money enough to
keep the surfaces decently passable.
So some of them have the public spirit
themselves and clean up the part Of
the road next to their land.
If one man does that, his neighboIs
are very apt to take hold and do their
share. Neatness is just as contagious
as disorder. So it goes in everything
People forget to knock when they take
hold and work for community pur-
poses. Where this spirit Of co-opera-
ton exists, the knocker and his ham
mer are rarely heard from.

Practical Education

A short time ago we opened our
puslic schools for the coming year.
The hopes and fears of our individual
families, the prosperity or adversely
safety or peril Of our community and
the republic, depend upon the kind of
work done in those schools.
The close of the war will bring this
nation to face wholly new problems.
We have heavy burdens of living costs
and txation to carry. The schools
must get down to the realities of life.
The WOOD COUNTY REPORTER
has secured a series of articles which
t believes will interest every family
hat has child in school. or which has
IN interest in seeing our community
prosper and the United States meet
he ominous problems of the future
Our contributor, after thoughtful stu
dy and some experience in school work
will give ideas which we know have
-alue, as to how these schools can
meet the existing situation. Subscribe

beginning about October 10 when this

orator fx i nn,

But in so far as this difficulty exists
it is because our schools have been SO
slow to realize the Importance of Civ
ing mechanical and manual instruc-
ton. We insist on filing our boys
heads with book knowledge.
While manual training courses have
been put in in many places, they are
usually short and incomplete. The
great majority Of the boys in this
country leave school with little manu-
al skill, and no knowledge of mechan-
zeal contrivances. Many people still
regard manual training as a mere fad.
But boys whose mechanical skill has
been developed in school are great
help on the farms at this juncture.

Why Advertised Stores Succeed

The Wood County Reporter will be-
gin in about two weeks publication of
a series of brief editorials under the
above title This subject is treated
due from US to the splendid business
enterprise of the many merchants who
use our columns to promote their bust
ness growth.
These men are working not merely
from their own profits but they're help
ing to spread the idea all around the
outlying country that Grand Rapids
is a good place to trade in. They de-
serve our support as the newspaper
that profits by their business initiative
They deserve the backing of every
citizen who admires wide awake en-
terprise and believes it profitable to
the community to help it along. Not
merely do they deserve support but
the people who trade with them find
t advantageous and profitable to do
so. Some of the reasons why this is
SO will be taken up in this little SER
les of talks.
Also we beg permission very re-
spectfully to solicit the interest in adj
vertising of those of our merchants
who have never felt it necessary to
use any newspaper space. We never
wish to say anything disagreeable to
them or of them, and do not under
take to understand their business any
better than the owners thereof. Still
we assume they will not mind if we
present a few of the reasons out of
our own experience and observation,
why we believe that policy of judi
eious advertising would help them and
would tend to boost along the whole
community in whose advance we all
have an interest.
We offer hearty thanks to the
splendid merchants who have used our
spacr so generously in the past, and
are confident it has been to their adj
vantage, as we know it has been help
TO the whole town.

The PASSIN(I()F
THE HORSE

No more significant event rs hap
pened indicating that the horse as a
means C transportation is fast PASS
ing than the proposed introduetio- f
an ordinance in the San Franco
Board Of Supervisors barring the horse
from the streets of that community
Advocates of the measure advance
seven arguments in favor Of it. They
are as follows:
THAT it will greatly relieve congas-
ton in traffic in the down town dis
tricts.
"That it will make San Francisco
cleaner, more healthful city and
thereby decrease the death rate
THAT it will eliminate the stable
and substitute the garage, thereby
increasing the value of real estate.
THAT it will lower the cost of
living by releasing acreage and labor
now required for the support of the
horse to farming and foodstuffs suit
able for human consumption.
THAT it will give San Francisco
fame as the leader of a movement
sure to be taken up sooner or later
thruout the world.
''That it will mean less work for
the street cleaning department and
therefore less burden for the tax
payer.
'That it will increase wages by
creating a demand for highly paid
skilled labor-chauffeurs and mechan-
ics-instead Of poorly paid unsldlled
labor-teamsters.

MORE HUN LIES NAILED
By HARVEY O'HIGGINS
Associate chairman, committee on
public information
THE LIE


In parts Of the south a circumstan-
tial account is being reported of how
Nine Schumann Heink, the central
to, arrested as a German spy, com
mitted suicide. Many inquiries as to
The truth Of the report have come to
the committee on public information.
THE TRUTH
There is no truth whatever in it. Nine
Schumann Heink has been aggressive
in her loyal Americanism, and the
kaiserites apparently are attempting
to discredit her by circulating this
SANDER out of revenge. They spread
it in the south, because she has been
publicly active in support of the war
charities, etc, further north, and any
report of her suicide would be some
what discredited by her appearance
on the concert stage.
SCHUMANN-HEINK ILL
Chicago, Sept. 19.-Mme. Ernest
inc Schumann-Heink, concert singer,
is confined to a hospital here. Ply
sicians said today the singer was eX-
hausted and suffering from exposure
