WEN AND WOMEN TALK Second of Get-Together Conventions is a Decided Sucress—Grand Rapids Citizens Show In- terest in Affairs. a | i The Ladies’ Aid Society: of the} Presbyterian church provided six! o’cleok dinner for 220 men and wo-} men atthe assembly hall of StJos-| eph’s Catholic church last Thursday! evening. | The menu consisted of roast pork, vegetables, salads, bread, butter, coffee and cake, all of which were | prepared in a manner that would ca credit to the most famous chef, | and served by a number of young ladies to the complete satis- faction of every guest. The oceasion was the second of a series of meetings being held by the citizens of Grand Rapids for the purpose of getting together in a social and business way for the general betterment of the commun- ity. It is conceded to be the most beneficial public enterpise of the kind yet attempted in this progres- ive village. It is bringing people to- gether in a common cause,and good results are already noticeable. Folls are getting better acquainted; are becoming more tolerant of each oth- ers opinions; are reaching a bet- ter understanding as*to what be done to advance the business: in terests of Grand Rapids and Itas- ca county. One sure evidence that the Boosters club is having a health- ful influence on the community is shown in the loud lamentations of the mentally diseased pessimist. The man who teaches that “what- ever is, is wrong,” the man who hates happiness and humanity,does not like to see prosperity, progress and contentment among the people. He revels in the presence of mis- ery, want..and poverty. And henee where you find one of those chaps out against a public move that aims to bring a greater degree of general happitiess, you may be sure it’s a good thing and should be continued.’ Rev. Leo Reid Burrows acted as toast ter. Rev. Burrows is one of faculty of acquitting themselves ad ably wherever placed, and Thurs- day evening was no exception. His | introductions of speakers were all aptly made and kept; the aydience in good spirits throughout. >. A. Buell, of Laprairie, was the | first speaker of the evening. His} usbject related to the community co operation, in which he brought out} many interesting and valuable sug-| getisons. O.J.Niles, secretary of the Itas-} ca Cooperative Creamery, gave | some very valuable information ré-' lating to the workings of the in-| stitution and pointed out how its} usefulness to. the community might he inereaesd. | “i. G. Becker demonstrated in his i that he had given -some seri- ious ‘consideration to projects that would add much to the prosperity of Grand Rapids. He referred par- ticularly to the many manufacutri enterprises that might be estab- lished hereabouts for the utiliza- tion of forest products. Miss Florence Burlingame discuss ed “Public Conveniences,” in a man- ner that elicited much favorable comment from the large audience that listened with closest attention to her timely advice and practi- cal suggestions. Rey. Father Buechler made an ins spiring talk on how harmonious ac- tion on all public quetsions may those. who possess the happy | ihas | Sour, be had, and the value of team work, ©. €.

The men were found with the, carcass of a deer at a camp im which they were living while erect- ing a home on their farm. They, the game wardens seized nearly ev—_ everything they possessed. The arti- cle seized included two rifles, one of 22 calibree, and not at all dan- gerous to large game. To make -it doubly sure that the wild animals of the Hibbing section should be conserved the officers also seized a pocket knife, a key ring, a hunt- ing knife and 100 feeetof dyna~ mite fuse, used by the men in clear- ing the land. The men arrested were convict- ed in justice court here, but took appeal to the district court. When the grand jury was in ses= sion the prisoners made the coup that resulted in the indictment of the officers.
