YOU VIOLATE
ORDINANCE

When you throw your refuse on the
street or sidewalk. Did you know that ?
It is contrary to state law as we'll as
city ordinance to make use of high
way including the sidewalks by lit
tering them with refuse of all kinds.
This is bad habit to say the least
You don't do that in your home and
business places why should you do SO
on public avenues?
Get the habit of burning up or saw
ing your paper, your paper clippings
wrappings, twine, in fact everything
5hat may be disposed of on sale and
other refuse should be burned.
Mr.. F. McKinnon, a member of the
Park Commission of this City, in talk
ing along these lines said that unless
it were stopped, that Body would be
obliged to prosecute violators of said
ordinance The billboard men in re-
moving the paper from the bill boards
are often careless in allowing rem
nants of paper to drop on the side
walk and the wind carries them along
the streets. By being careful this
could be avoided. Boys and girls who
BUY candy and gum, thoughtlessly
5hrow their paper bags and coverings
Of gum on the streets, and many
clerks sweeping out in the mornings
particles of paper. are swept out when
hey should be picked up and burned.
Care and caution used in these mat
sers would go a long way towards
identifying our city. Let US all be
more careful IN this respect and make
Grand Rapids a truly beautiful city

The re-establishment of the Wis

this city will be received with a great
deal of pleasure. The agent and his

decorated in the F. J. Wood block on
Vine ST., at the east end of the wagon
bridge and formerly occupied by the
Wood County Telephone Co. These
offices consist of three nice large
rooms which will give the agency
splendid quarters. F. S. Gill has the

VAR GARDEN
HINTS

Plant rutabagas the last two weeks
in June.
For summer radishes. as a sue
ceseion crop, the white Strassburg is
the best variety.
Self blanching celery of the later
varieties should be planted about the
last of June.
Hill the early potatoes slightly; not
too much, or the hilling will cause
too great loss of moisture.
Buy a few multiplier onions for
next springs crop. This is better
than buying top sets later.
There is still time to plant corn if the
early varieties are used.
Beans like heat. Plant them up to
June Is, but if you put them in later
than that, Won may expect early fcosas
to catch them
Peas do not thrive in hot weather.
If you still need peas for canning or
for late summer use. better SOW them
about August Is. Better still, plan
to get them in your garden before June
Is next year.
Beets and carrots for the late crop
will probably do best if planted this
month. They make good succession
crops.
Cultivation is designed first to kill
the weeds, but even after the garden
if free of weeds it needs cultivation
to conserve the moisture. The sea-
son of drouth is approaching. Keep
good mulch over the garden surface
by frequent cultivation.
Late June is the time to plant late
cabbage plants. If you haven't grown
your own plants, better begin looking
for some. Unless your garden soil is
in very good condition, avoid planting
the Hollander type of cabbage and use
the Drumhead While the market
gardner succeeds with the Hollander
and it is better for storage, the home
gardener needs the best possible con-
ditions to grow it successfully.

EAT BEANS OFTEN

Early in the year we were asked
% conserve on the use of beans until
now they have large supply on hand;
more than can be used before the
advent of a new crop. You are there
fore asked by the state Council of
Defense, to eat all of the beans you
can in place Of wheat and other things.
One good thing about the American
people; they are always ready to com
ply with any order issued by the gov

ner they are doing their bit towards
helping win the war.

From Milwaukee Journal.
Don't be afraid to change speeds.
They are placed in the car for it's pro-
lection and to lengthen its life.
Don't slip your clutch inconsistent
ly-it gains nothing that good driv-
ing could gain.
Don't speed. 1t is expensive. Fif-
teen miles an hour is less wasteful than
thirty.
Don't cultivate the habit of driving
close behind another vehicle.
Don't take chances on railroad
crossing. The safest way is to cross
in a low gear or to have momentum
to coast across.
Don't fail to keep your eye on the
road.
Don't subject your brakes to un-
necessary strain and wear by quick
stopping.
Don't assume a tense, stiff posi-
ton at the wheel. Relax and you will
get more joy out Of driving.
Don't travel over unfamiliar roads.

SUCCESSFUL
WAR LUNCHEON
Representative Wood County Women
Attend Council of Defense
Luncheon Saturday

More than a hundred women sat
down to a Council of Defense luncheon
served by the Food Conservation De-
partment, at the Witter Domestic
Science and Manual Training building
Saturday, June 18th. Many of those
present were out of town members of
that organization.
The food served was prepared with
a rigid regard to conservation, but
nevertheless was most palatable and
greatly appreciated. The Chairman
Of the Woman's Committee, Mrs. I.
P. Witter, presided, and presented
matters of patriotic and general inter-
est as the luncheon progressed.
A matter of particular interest was
that Of Food Conservation, upon which
Mr.. Roye Rogers, City Food Admins
traitor, gave very clear and convinc-
ing talk, telling of food conditions both
at home and abroad. Mr.. Rogers
brought out matters of vital import
ance and quoted statistics which apt
ly proved each point.
The subject of child welfare was
touched upon by Mrs R. NJ. Gibson.
Mrs. Gibson in the course of her talk
upon subject now of intense interest
to all women, stated that over 900
children in Wood County have already
been weighed and measured.
Mr.. L. NJ. Nash explained with only
a business mans ability the value of
the Thrift Stamp, both as an invest
ment for the Individual and as loan
to the Government. "The Thrift
Stamp" said Mr.. Nash, ''has been
called by those who do not know, a
scrap of paper. The dollar you have
in your pocket is worth nothing If
this statement is true Of the Thrift
Stamp"
The luncheon terminated with the
reading by Mrs. Witter of "Peace
With the Sword" war poem by Abby
Farwell.
After the luncheon short conferences
were held with the County Chairmer
and with the ward captains of the city
