Yes, a bicycle path would be a very desirable adjunct to the other ac- complishments of Grand Rapids, as suggested by the Magnet. It would obviate the temptation to violate the village ordinance which - prohibits wheeling on the sidewalks and at the same time afford much more des- irable recreation to the bikers. And, by the way, the Herald-Review is re- minded by this subject that there are many protests from pedestrians against the riding of wheels on the walks, and the officers will likely be called upon to see that the habit is discontinued. 'wo years ago there was considerable interest displayed among local wreelmen to organize for the purpose of raising funds with which to make paths, and at that time some money was raised. It may be still available and with a little effort quite a sum might be raised for the enterprise. Stram’s Hearing Next Wednesday. Martin Stram, late of the tailoring firm of Milaney & Stram,'was arrest- ed on a warrant sworn out by Frank Poepke, charging him with bastardy. Ida Poepke, the sixteen-year-uld dau- ghter of the complainant, is named as Stram’s victim The defendant was brought into courtend his hear- ing set for Wednesday of this week. In default of bail he has remained in the county jailsince. On Wednesday the charge was changed form bast- ardy to carnal knowledge of agirl un- der the age of consent,and the date of hearing postponed toWednesday next. The offense is alleged to have first been committed last September when the girl was only fifteen years of age. She is now enceinte. . Stram offered to make amends by marrying the girl, itis said, but to this she would not consent and her father also ocjected to settling the matter in that way.

John Beckfelt Has Plans For Grand Rapids Business Block and Opera House, * Shrewd business man enterprising citizen that he is, John Beek felv fore- sees the necessity of additional room onthe lots where his store now stands. It is one of the best business corners inGrand Rapids and very likely it always will be. Four sometime Mr. Beckfelt has been making plans for the erection ofa brick block, three storieg high, one bundred feet front. It will include a modern opera house which will be up-to-date in every re- spect and sufficiently large to accom- madate the city of Grand Rapids for many years to come. Work would be begun at once were it not for the scarcity of brick, which at the pres- ent time cannot be had atany price. C. H. Marr also has plans for building a brick block on the corner of Third street and Kindred avenue, his present store site. His work will also be delayed on account of his in- abality to secure brick. “A brickyard in the vicinity of Grand Rapids would be a paying proposition just pow, and it is said there 1s brick clay close at hand in ample quantity and of good quality. OFF TO BEMIDJI. About Thirty Citizensand Puplis From Here Go to Spelling School. Pi Yesterday noon’s west-bound pas- senger train took to Bemidji a happy party from Grand Rapids—about thirty in all—five of whom will enter the spelling contest to take place in that village today between pupils selected from the high schools of Bemidji, Fosston, Park Rapids and Grand Rapids. The five from Central school are: Della Yancy, Ada Krem- er, Francis Bossard, Mamie Sherry, and Carry Dinwoodie, with Jarvis Partridge as commander-in-chief. The Grand Rapids ladies quatette, composed of Misses Little, Irish, Bossard and Loretta Doran were of the party and it goes without saying that the whole delegation will be de- lightfully entertained. A program has been arranged by the committee in charge providing fur aa entertain- ment preceding the contest, in which Miss Lizzie Brooks aud Jarvis Par- tridge will take part. Superintend- ent Carroll expressed a feeling 6f con- tidence in the ability of his pupils to creditably acquit themselves, and having a good chance to. bring back the laurels of the contest. The Loss from Late Sowa Grain. It is generally known that wheat does better ifsown as early as the ground can be made fit, in the spring, but the amount cf the loss which is possible from late sowing is not well understood. Th» influences which re- duce the yield are drought, rust and insects. While we are more free from these evils than other portions of the state, we must still guard against them. The eatlier wheat'1s sown the more vigorous is its growth, and power of resistance, and the less it will be hurt by drought or rust. This increases the yield, The experi- ment farm has for several years past sown wheat at different dates in the spring, To compare the yields su obtained. The first sowing was made about April 20th, and the last May 9th. The average vield for the first date was 22.7 bu. and for thelast 17 bu., a difference of 5.7 bu. per acre due solely to late seeding. The delay in seeding is often caused by the necessity of plowing the ground in the spring. This has the addition- al drawback of leaving the soil too [ loose and dry forgrain. The ground should have been plowed in the fall —or, iteu)tivated the preceeding year, it may be prepared altogether with adisc harrow if .ené iS available. Grass seed will do much better on such a seed bed than on too loose a soil. Oats should not be sown quite so early as wheat,. but will stand a great deal of frost. The main crop on the experiment farm has been sown about April 25th and has never been seriously frozen. Further south it could be sown earlier. vantages of early sowing apply with equal force to oats. The average yield on the experiment farm tor oats |: sown April 25th is 37,2 bu. per acre, and for those sown May 9th was 22.7 bu., a difference of 14.5 bu. due to eariy sowing. - Barley is more tender to frost than i wheat or oats, but has always been |} sown onthe farm before May Ist || with good results.
