SOY BEANS

The time is coming when YOU should
be thinking, if you have not already
done so, about your supply of seer for
spring planting. [ know of several
farmers on the light soil who have
sold from $50 to $75 of soy bean seed
from an acre of land last year. This
is pretty fair income. In addition
they have the soy bean straw which
has higher feeding value than the
straw Of any of the grains.
If you are after seed alone, plant
the Little Black. If you want hay
and silage, use Wisconsin grown Iota
San seed. A great deal of Mammoth
Yellow seed was used last year. 1t
made wonderful growth but produc-
ed practically no pods. If you don't
know where to secure seed get in touch
with me and | will inform you as to
where seed may be obtained.
By all means inocculate your seed,
We expect to have supply of inocu-
lation on hand, the same as last year.
Will have more definite information
as to this later. We had many farm
ers planting soy beans last year, that
inoculated part of their beans, but
failed to inoculate all of them. Re-
ports from a large number of these
show that incubation is money and
line we'll spent

SUDDEN DEATH OF

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
H. S. Youker. were shocked to learn
of Mr. Youker's sudden death in
Philadelphia recently. We had word
from Mr.. Youker only few days ago
in which he said Mrs Youker and he
were going to take trip for a rest
very much needed. The announcement
of his death therefor comes to us with
great sorrow and grief as we had
learned to love both as some of our
best friends.
Mr.. H. S. Youker, came to our city
IN June 1902, and was superintendent
of our lblic schools for eight years.
We never had better superintendent
who did more for our schools than Mr..
4ouker. From here he went to the
State Normal at Oshkosh. From
there to the Curtis Publishing Co.,
and from there to New York City,
where he has been employed by a
Magazine Company in research work.
Prof. H. S. Youker, was born near
Waterloo, Wisconsin. After gradu-
ating from the high school he attend
ed the State University and gradu-
ated in 1894. During his college
course he was one of the representa-
tives Of the University in the inter-
collegiate debate with the University
of Minnesota. The following year he
was assistant in the high school at
Evansville, Wis. He was then elected
to the principalship of the accredited
high school at Poynette, which he fill
ed for three years. In 1899 he grad
uated from the University of Wiscon-
sin, where he received the degree of
Master of Science. In 1900 he accept
cd the principalship of the Broadhead
schools. From there he came to Grand
Rapids schools. His record here is
we'll known where he made many fast
friends. He has visited his many
friends here nearly every year since,
IN fact he is a stockholder in the Con-
solidated P. & w. P. Co.
He leaves to mourn his beloved wife.
and mother, and host of friends who
cherish his friendship during life. A
good man has passed on to the great
beyond in the person of Mr. Youker.
We extend our sympathy to his lone
ly wife, who is left to face the battles
Of life alone.

BESTOW JUST
PRAISE when
It IS DUE

While a Wood County representa-
tive was speaking at the State Road
school in Madison the past week he
paid Mrs. o. 7. Hougen, the steno-
grapher and book-keeper high COM
piiment which she can be proud Of
He said 1--WE have lady stenograph-
er and book-keeper in our Office in
Wood county that can tell you the
price any road cost in Wood county
per yard or rod, and what kind of con-
struction, the length of the road, in
fact all about the road and what it
cost. She is familiar with all the de-
tails of the work in her office and per-
fectly accurate in the keeping of her
records" We understand the County
Auditing Committee have audited her
accounts for the past year and found
them perfectly correct and checked out
all 0. K. with the County Clerk and
County Treasurer. This is a record
that both Mrs. Hougen and the High
way Commissioner can be proud of
during the past year. We are pleased
TO bestow the credit where it belongs
and that goes to prove that some wo-
men can do some work just as accur-
ately and well as the men can.

GROUNDING FAILS
TOSEE SHADOW

Monday was cloudy-hence Mr..
Grounding coming out of his hole,
where he is popularity presumed to re-
treat to at the approach of winter,
and pull said hole in after him-failed
to espy his shadow when he emerged.
According to this legend, handed
down from time immemorial, winter
is about ready to get up and travel
away from here. Had the Grounding
seen his shadow, then he would have,
so the story goes, gone back into his
hole for six weeks-during which the
weather would have been colder than
the North Pole Hence according to
the dope Spring is close at hand. Geo
rye Nixon the local weather prognosti-
Gator, however, declares the grounding
theory is all fake and winter is 60
ing to linger around in our front yard
until late in the spring.

We acknowledge pleasant call
from Otto Roenius and Ray Johnson,
the past week and heard every reason
to be offered in favor of changing the
name of Grand Rapids to some other
name Their troubles have been many
during the past few years and we SYM
oathize with them. While there are
probably or 10 business houses in the
city who have such trouble, there are
hundreds who do not. While few
would be benefited, the majority are
name. The change would bring more
trouble to the majority than it would
remove for few. The cost and an
noyance in the change would cause US
great trouble for many years, while
now there are only a few who have
any trouble.
You may call it sentiment, or what
ever else you desire, we are positively
opposed to changing the name of
Grand Rapids. 1t is the place of our
birth. Everything that is dear to US
in life hovers about Grand Rapids.
The name was selected by the early
pioneers who came to this locality
with ox-teams and on foot to make a
home for themselves. They named ii
Grand Rapids on account of the Rap
ids in the Wisconsin river here. The
names that come to our mind that
were early residents Of the place were

THE KIND OF BOYS WANTED

But boys with pluck and courage
Are just the kind desired
They want boy who has no fear
Of steady plodding work;
Who does not wait for luck or fate,
Who scorns a task to shirk.
Who does not wait for help to come
From fairy, witch or elf,
But laying hold on Fortunes wheel" ;"
Turns it around himself.
