WISCONSIN RAPIDS

From Wausau Pilot
At last Grand Rapids" has changed
its name to Wisconsin Rapids. From
the time the village was started
eighty or ninety years-ago, it has been
known as "Grand Rapids" it has
swallowed up "Centralia," the town
across the river, and has become one
of the large commercial centers in the
valley Of the Wisconsin. To the COM
ing generations the change, ''Wiscon-
sin Rapids" will come naturally very
easy, but to old timers the name will
ever be confused with Grand Rapids.
This change has been under consider
alton for a number of years, as,
throughout the country Grand Rapids
Mich, being a much larger city and
better known, has, no doubt, caused
much annoyance to its business men.
All are sorry to see the passing of the
old name.

PETITIONS
ON FILE At
COURT HOUSE

On personal examination of the
papers on file at the County Clerks
office we note that every one of the
Democratic nomination papers is sign
ed by Frank J. Schroeder, who intends
to support that Party's candidates for
public office and still he is seeking the
office of County Clerk on the Repub-
lican ticket. What do you think of
man who is willing to do such things
to obtain office? We know what you
think of him and you will register
your vote against such actions. Fur
ther We understand that he expects to
receive the Socialist and Union Labor
vote at the Primaries SO as to try and
defeat the Republican candidate, Sam
Church, for that office If this charge
is true, it shows how far some men
will go to secure office. We thought
better of Sam Schroeder, than this
The first charge is true because we
saw his signature. The second charge
is made to us by many. We refuse to
accept the announcement of such a
man, even for pay, who tries to ride
two Parties into public office.

TO THE VOTERS OF
WOOD COUNTY

An attempt is being made by my
opponent Frank P. Schroeder and his
friends to show that the salaries and
other expenses of the members and
clerks of the Local Board for Wood
County, during the war was not car
ried out in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the war department
Any such criticism should be branded
as false, as it is meant to create the
impression that fraud was practiced
Every item of expense and every
person that received any pay for their
services on the Local Board for Wood
County, was first O. KID by the Gov
ernor's and Adjutant Generals office
at Madison, Wisconsin. No person
could get voucher for pay unless it
has been first submitted to headquar-
ters for their approval
My opponent is trying to make it
appear that [ was not entitled to the
compensation received as one of the
members of the Local Draft Board,
because | was receiving the salary of
County Clerk. The war work was en-
tirely separate and apart from the
duties of County Clerk, and the War
Department recognizing these facts,
and finding it imperative that the re-
sponsibility must be centered on some
one person, recommended that each To-
cal board select one man from their
number, and that one man was to be
held strictly responsible for the exc
/ cution of this work, also recommend
ing that he receive a salary.
AS | did practically all the work,
with the assistance of the clerical force
which was authorized by the War De
partment, the other members of the
Local Draft Board recommended that
I be the person selected for these du-
i ties. and | did the work to the best OF
my ability. Ny record as such official
stands with no apologies to offer.

REPUBLICAN
TICKET
Will Win

Why? Because the people are tired
of the 8 years of Democratic admin
istration. President Wilson and his
cabinet have proven themselves in
competent and inadequate of filling
their places. They have been extra
VACANT in the discharge of their duties.
Every Department has been weak and
incompetent. There is nothing in the
administration they can point to with
out apologizing for it. The people and
countrp are tired of it, they want a
change. Republicans will elect their
ticket from President down. Every
time the people make a change of ad-
ministration one or two terms is e.
nough, they gladly go back to the
Republican Party for relief, success
and prosperity. The people can al
ways depend upon them for the prop
er solution of all great questions. The
election of a Republican President,
House of Representatives and u. S.
Senate means a return of successful
administration and prosperity to this
country. We are all looking for No
vember when we can cast our ballots
to bring about the change so much
needed.

NEAR-CIIY DAY
Al THE POOL
Grand Rapids, Wis, Saturday, Aug
18th, 1920.

Saturday, August the 14th, is to be
set aside by our city as a great, big
Near-City Day at our Municipal
Swimming Pool.
The Municipal Swimming Pool of
our city has demonstrated itself with
cut doubt as one of Grand Rapids
greatest assets during the summer
season. The Comission in charge of
this pool certainly deserves great
credit for management which has per-
mitted the privileges of the pool to be
extended to the community so unfail-
ingly this summer. The popularity of
the pool has increased enormously and
young and old from far and near have
indulged in frolics in its refreshing
waters.
Out-of-town visitors who have had
a dip in the pool have been loud in
their expressions of appreciation in
this respect, and now, to make the sue
cess Of this season complete, and to
impress upon our neighbors in other
nearby cities that they are welcome
at any time to join with us in partici-
patton of the pleasures of our pool,
the Commission has decided to extend
general invitation to the people of
our neighboring cities, some of whom
especially who are not so favored with
bathing facilities, to come and partici-
pate in a big day of water frolic for
all the family from baby to grand-dad.
All day Saturday, August the 14th,
Grand Rapids is anxious to be the host
on this occasion, and the pool is to be
turned over entirely to our visitors on
that day, so that none may be prevent
ed thru lack of room from indulging
in the pleasure.
The pool is strictly sanitary, about
100 yards in length by thirty-fve
across, built entirely of concrete, e.
quipped with spring boards, floats, etc.
and is filled by the running waters of
the Wisconsin River. There are over
100 dressing rooms in connection which
can accommodate, if necessary, 200
persons at one time. Also the neces-
sary facilities to assure the comfort
of all are provided.
AS a special feature of the day
there will be concert by the Consol-
idated Band in the afternoon, and a
free for all ladies' and mems 100 yard
swimming race for the championship
of this district, gold, silver and bronze
medals to be awarded for first, second
and third places respectively. Entries
for this event are solicited and will be
taken by the members of committees
in each city.
This being also the big closing day
of the Elk's Carnival, visitors will be
doubly entertained, and visiting Elks
will get first chance at the shower
bath
The committee will be pleased to
make special arrangements for the
accommodation of families who wish

EXPLANATORY

We have read and heard great deal
about Sam Church, county clerk, re-
ceiving fees for work upon the Wood
County Draft Board We have in
vestigated this matter and find that
this Board supposed that the work
would entail not very much work and
IN the beginning, during 1917, was
done gratis. But during 1918 and 1919
1t required head, with several clerks
to take care of the increasing de-
mands made upon this Board. Sam
Church was selected as such head to
look after the work and for which ha
and his helpers We're to receive pay.
They all received pay and less than
the records show other Boards receiv-
ed for inducing the same number of
men. Extra time was put in by Mr..
Church and his clerks to accomplish
the work assigned them Nothing i'm
proper or unjust in their receiving
compensation with the rest. The peo-
pie supposed these committees were
receiving no pay because they start
ed out with that intention, but the
work became too ardent and labori-
Gus to do said work without pay. No.
thing wrong about it as long as every
body else in the State was receiving
pay for rendering like service. Mr..
Church and his helpers were fully
justified in receiving the fees for the
work they performed and all persons
connected Herewith understood it.

AS THE editor
SEES IT

Two young men met on the public
street and entered into a conversation.
One of the young men lived in the
town, while the other was from a
nearby village.
A pretty girl came by. The town
boy sized her up and made sugges-
tive remark. Then they both looked,
and laughed, and looked again.
Another girl passed, with careless
look in their direction but without
speaking. The town boy was silent,
but he from the neighboring village
appraised her charms, expressed his
opinion and-the fight was on.
1t makes a difference whose sister
you talk about.

A citizen met the editor of paper
on the street one day.
''Why don't you publish the news? ?"
he asked, with disappearing frown.
Young j. got into brawl and beat
another boy up and you didn't say a
word about it in the paper. Such
things should be given full publicity
in order to suppress rowdyism," he
resumed
A few weeks later his own son was
rounded up in a juvenile scrape, and
he hunted the editor in hurry.

bout that little escapade of the boys" +"
he pleaded; 'it was only lark, and
boys will be boys, you know"

A farmer had horse to sell. It had
a serious defect, but one which was
not readily discernible.
Another fellow who was in need of
a good horse stopped to look at it.
Sound as a dollar, so far as l
know" said the farmer, conveniently
forgetting the defect which he knew
to exist. The animal changed hands,
and the purchaser was stung.
A few months later the same farm
er went to a neighboring county and
paid fancy price for bull. Later
he found that. he had been stung in
the transaction.
"I'll have the law on that swindler,"
he ragged, and promptly brought suit
against the former owner of the bull

sting, or get stung.
