A large audience was present to
witness the ceremony in which the

to the front and the city desirous of
showing them due honor had secured
appropriate medals, not on account of

Why CHANGE
THE NAME:

About every so often there is some
agitation and discussion in regards to
changing the name of Grand Rapids
Why? The only reason is because
there is a larger city by that name in
Michigan. AS long as human nature
is the same there will be mistakes
Grand Rapids has been good enough
for 70 years and should be for all time.
We would make bad matteE worse by
changing. If we keep right on grow
ing we will wax greater than our
namesake in Michigan. Write your
letters plainly, speak glowingly of
Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, fear God,
hate the devil, and plug away for
Grand Rapids and forget there ever
was a Grand Rapids, Michigan.
We are opposed to changing the
name for many reasons.
First. 1t was the place in which
we were born. We have lived here over
60 years. We don't want to live any
where else, and we expect to live here
as long as we live and want to die here
and be buried here. There is a hal
lowedness about the place that we
cherish. We know nothing else, but
Grand Rapids. It's the nesting place
We cling to its memory and all that
makes life dear to US, hovers about
Grand Rapids. No never, A few Of
our letters may go to Michigan, but
its only one in thousand-and we
get a good deal of mail. The post
master has our name there and they
come on soon. The letter is delayed
one day, what Of it? Now and then
a package goes wrong many
one in six months perhaps What Of
it? No harm done.
Second To make the change now
would necessitate too much trouble.
All the records would have to be
changed. There would be mix up
of untold and unforeseen things that
would double discount our present
troubles. Forget it!

CHRISTMAS DINNER
AT HOTEL DIXON

The Hotel Dixon was the scene of
a merry party Saturday evening when
the Girls Club and the Sunrise Club
entertained fifty people at a dancing
party. The lobby which has a
tile floor made an excellent place for
dancing. The folding doors were
swung back into the reception room,
which was occupied by the orchestra.
The rooms were all gaily decorated in
the colors of the season. At mid
night delicious lunch was served in
the dining room. The following peo-
pie were out of town guests: Mr.. and
Mrs. Harold Arpin of Duluth, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Arpin of Bruce, the Misses

Boorman, the new physician in Cen
tralia, was called to see Mr.. John Mil
Ter, who was suffering from what was
supposed to be a. sun stroke. On
close examination he discovered a bull

Mr.. Miller received this bullet on the

A noteworthy tribute was paid to
the nurses by the surgeon general in
the following statement:
For the first time in its history the
United States public health service
during the recent war organized a de-

FARMERS ARE BEHIND ROADS

Has introduced.

Proceeding In accordance with in
structions given them at the annual
meeting of the National Grange, held
recently in Grand Rapids. Mich,
Washington representatives Of the or
ganization, which comprises some
100000 farmers, have conferred with
Senator Charles e. Townsend Of Mich
igan and will hold further meetings
with him on the measures which he
has introduced In Congress providing
for a national highway system to be
built and maintained by the govern
ment under the direction of federal
commission.
In a special report adopted at the
grange meeting, it was held that the
time has come when. with due regard
for the present and future necessi-
ties for permanent, hard.surfaced high
ways, all the highway activities of the
national government should be unified
III a single administrative department
under such limitation Of powers as
will secure the greatest possible de-

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re.
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
