f SS Grand Uapids— TOR. VoL, XXIII. UNIVERSITY WEEK BEGINS MONDAY For Six Days Our Citizens Will En- | joy the Advantages of a Cha- tauqua Course. No. 48 INSTRUCTORS AND ENTERTAINERS I Some of the Best Known Aaiieaie ties on Art, Music, Drama, Government, Agriculture, Etc., Will be Heard. | University week opens in Grand | Rapids next Monday morning and if the interest shown in the pre- | parations is any indication Grand Rapids should stand at the head} of the towns visited in point of enthusiasm. The establishment of | this visiting course represents the outlay of thousands of dollars and all that is asked in return is that the people of the different com- munities visited display interest enough in the matter to indicate that the innovation is appreciated. Some of the foremost authorities in the United States on the differ- ent subjects to be discussed will be heard and seen, and there is no ione in any town or section but who will be benefitted by attend- ance at these meetings. The gath- ering has been extensively adver- tised both by those having the course in charge and by the people of the towns to be visited, and it is expected that visitors from all nearby sections will be here to take advantage of at least some of the lectures and entertainments. As for the townspeople, those who cannot make some slight sacrifice of time to attend are lacking both in patriotism and appreciation. At the noon hour Thursday and Saturday a business man’s lunch will be served by a committee of lad he have voluptre ed their fervic oy the ovcasion. It should be unnecessary fcr us to urge that these lunches be generally patron- ized in order ‘that those in charge be not compelled to sustain a money loss aswell as to donate the | time and take the trouble inci- dent to managing an affair of this sind. : We submit a revised program of the first three days’ events, the bal-) ance to be found in next week’s tissue: For an hour beginning at two o'clock Monday afternoon, Miss Augusta | Mettle, visiting nurse, Minneapolis, will speak on “In- fant Welfare.” This will be follow- ed by Dr. Allen Hoben on “Biology and ‘Boy Nature.”. Dr. Allen is secretary of the Chicago Juvenile Protective association, and one of the best known authorities in Amer | ica on the subject handled.! From four to five o’clock Miss Alice Ruth O'Connell of the Minneapolis school of Music, will present a program of dramatic readings and impersona- tions entitled, “Merely Mary! Ann.” In the evening, beginning at 8) ‘o'clock, Dr. Hoben will again be | the ‘speaker, using either “ Voca- | tional Guidance” or “Training for citizenship” as his subject. On ‘Tuesday afternoon the first | speaker will be Dr. Hardin Craig of the University of Minnesota, whose subject will be “The Social Influ- ence of the Drama.” This will be the only lecture treating on dra- matie subjects during the! course, gnd will give an insight into its value and influence. Dr. Craig will be followed by Miss Edna 8S. Fisher | of the Mankato Normal school, on “Plays and Games for Children.” This will be a feature of special interest ‘to parents and teachers. “Unele Remus Stories” and other | delightful Southern tales will be taken up for an hour by Dr. Craig, and the afternoon will close with a motion picture lecture by Dr. Burt L. Newkirk, of the university, on the subject of “The Art Of Flying.” Dr. Anna Norris, will open Wed- mesday’s session with a talk on “Sex Education,” this being for the |particular benefite of moth- ers and their daughters. “Arts and Crafts” by Maurice I. Flagg of Granp Rapips, Irasca County, MINN., WEDNESDAY JUNE 4, 1913 reading by Miss Emily Eggen of the Minneapolis school of Music. On Wednesday evening the Uni- versity Dramatic club will present the three-act drama, “Judah,” by Henry Arthur Jones. The best tal- ent of the great educational insti- tution has been selected especially for this University Week work and | to witness this play by one of the foremost dramatists of the times is alone worth the price of a season ticket. “The Private Secretary.” The play given by the members of the graduating class at the high school auditorium on Monday and Tuesday evening of this week was undoubtedly the best ever at- tempted by amateurs in this town. “The story of “The Private Secre- tary” lends itself excellently to en- abling the players to display their dramatic ability and every mem- ter of the cast improved the! ad- vantage to the utmost. It is sel- dom that a cast so uniformly ex cellent can be found among ama- teurs. Every member acted his or her part and spoke their lines with deep understanding of their import and a keen appreciation of what the different situations de- manded. The auditorium was crowded for both performances and from a financial as well as artistic standpoint the affair was a de- cided success. FARMERS’ DANCE AT EXPERIMENT STATION New Library Hall to be Dedicated by Hop on Friday Evening, June 6th. Supt, and Mrs. A. J. McGuire of the Northeast Experiment farm have issued invitations for a fiance to be| given in the new li- brary hall on the farm on Friday evening, June 6th. This is a de- partment recently added to | the equipment of the hall, and Mr. and Mrs. MeGuire are taking this means to get our farmers and cthers interested acquainted / with it. The library will contain {all standard works on agriculture, tracts and reading matter of all | kinds of interest to the farmer. The Pioneer Road Builder. ‘Mitasca county is likely to be fhe pioneer road building county in the state in the near future. Ac- ‘cording to the Mesaba Ore, the county commissioners of that county have decided to expend $400, 000 for trunk highways under the provisions of the Elwell law under which the state will stand apart of the expense. These trunk high- ways, together with the feeders the county will build, will give Itasca county a road system that should be among the best in any county of the state—Litchfield “Review. | Some — Reasons Why Not HERE are many reasons why the small merchant should not sit back and let the mail order houses take the cream of his out of town trade. One of them is the parcel post service. Under the zone system of postal rates every merchant within the limits of his own territory may now develop a mail order busi- ness or his own account. He can ship goods much cheaper and much more expeditiously than | any concern outside his district. | Every merchant should at once begin an edutational cam- paign of advertising, teaching ; the people within reach of his in- fluence that it is less expensive, quicker and infinitely more sat- isfactory to make their pur- chases near home than to send elsewhere.

The Adams base ball team of Duluth are a fine lot of ama- teur ball players, but they did not help their reputation any by com- ing to Grand Rapids. The local team teok three out of a four-game ser- ies, the visitors using every com- ination of battery at their dis- posal against them. In the best ball game seen here this season the Grand Rapids nine on Friday defeated the Adams team of Duluth by a score of 2 and 4. In the first inning A. Ol- son for the visitors made a hit, stole second and scored on a wild pitch by Whaling. This was the only run made by the Duluth play- ers; although they had men as far around as third a number of times, but Whaling would tighten up and prevent their reaching thome. In the fourth inning a two base hit by Benton and a triple by Bentz,gave Grand Rapids its first run, and this was the to- tal until the eighth, when a two base hit by Farrell, followed by a single by Benton, netted the other.

MITCHELL GEORCE COWAN WILLIAM ROSS GEORGE LORE Such exercises as have ‘become usual on Memorial day were held in Grand Rapids in commemora- ;tion of those who'gave their lives in behalf of the Union at the dark- est hour of its history. The most noteworthy feature of the day’s celebration was the parade, parti- ‘cipated in by a large number of citizens and the children from all the schools. The latter number- ed about 600, and presented a pret- ty spectacle in the line of march with their flags and other decora- tions.'There was also a rather im- posing display of automobiles in line, and the whole was perhaps as good a representation as the town can show. The memorial services were held at the high school grounds, where songs, . recitations, and speeches were the order. The address of the day was delivered by Rupert Swin- nerton of ‘Hibbing, who made a strong patriotic appeal that was listened to with much interest. CLOSING EXERCISES OF EIGHTH GRADE At 3:30 o’clock tomorrow afternoon the Eighth grade exercises will take place at the high school. J.!Adam Puffer of the Boston Vocational bureau will speak on “Vocational Guidance.” No parent should fail to hear Mr. Puffer as this lect- iwure is one which has gained a national reputation. If you are in- terested in guiding your children into the right vocation in life— an you are,—this lecture will help you. Judge Ben Lindsey of .Denver, says that no man is better fitted to speak on this subject than J. Adams Puffer. We are indeed for- tunafe in being «bls'to hear him, both afternoon and evening, es he deals with the problems that are of -the greatest interest to parents. Note the hour, 3:30 o’clock Thurs- day afternoon ‘at the high school. At this time all pupils complet- ling the eighth grade here and ‘at Cohasset, will receive their certi- ficates of promotion to the high school. 4 and Berg 4.° The feature of the game was Bentons batting, he get- ting two doubles and a single out of four times up. Saturday the visitors were de- feated 9 to 6, after they had the game won. That was the way the game stood in the 7th, when Catcher Miller swatted out a three- bagger, but sprained his ankle get- ting to third. He will be forced to remain out of the game for some time. Grand Rapids had secured wut one run to six for the visi- tors up to this time. A batting rally on the part of the home team netted six runs in the seventh. In this inning the bases were full when Whaling whaled out a three ‘nase hit. A triple play by the Adams in the eighth ‘was a fea- ture. With the bases full again the batter sent in a infield grounder which was fielded like lightning and sent home thence to second, and third, forcing the runners out. The batteries for this session were Adler, and Miller and Olson for the Adams, and Bentz and iHicks for the home team. In the first game on Sunday Grand Rapids made _ it three straight, winning by a score of 11 to 10. Hughes and Kriz, the star battery of the Adams aggregation, had been sent the “S. O. S.” call and arrived on Saturday night. They could not stem the winning streak of the Rapids boys, although the Sunday games were nothing to teams were evidently tired and al- though there were spurts of fair tase ball, the performance as a whole was somewhat disappointing. Farrell’s batting was easily the feature in the first game, he gar- nering two doubles and two. sin- gles out of four times at bat. In the second game Shortstop brag of from either side. Both | COUNTY BOOSTERS JUCCESSFUL MEET The Fourth Get-Together Meeting Here One of the Most Import- ant Yet Held. ORGANIZATION 1S TO BE CONTINUED This Was to Have Been Last Gath-- ‘ering of Year, But Circum- stances Make Another Advisable. The fourth get-together meeting of the Itasca County Development. association was held here on Frida last, and was a decided success from all points of view. The faet of the day falling on Decoration day somewhat divided the interest in the proceedings, but it was an enthusiastic, progressive gath- ering of which ,much good in the way of advertising and mutual aid may be expected. The boat excursion to Pokegama Lake in the afternoon was aband- oned as the Memorial day celebra- tion was in progress in town and it was not thought advisable to de anything to detract from the im- portance of that event. The trip to the experimental farm was made 4n the afternoon, and here the Lee split a finger and Left Fielder delegates were welcomed by Supt. Betts developed a Charlie horse |M¢eGuire, who took the visitors on which made these two very impor-|@ tour of inspection around the tant members of the faculty prac- |‘farm, after which the new dairy tically useless.

Perhaps, also, they were just a little ashamed of sending Duluth’s prize amateurs | back home without a game to their credit. Whatever the cause, they lost the last game by a score of 14 to 4. Very good crowds witnessed the igames on all three days, and the program will probably be repeated in the near future, the teams from | two of the range towns being taken; for two games each. PAPER MAKERS IN LOGAL MILL STRIKE Demand Shorter Hours and Com- pany Has Thus Far Refused to Comply. Employes in the mills of the Itasea Paper company went out Monday morning because their de- mands for an eight-hour day had not been granted. | Up to the time of the walk-out the mill had been running 24 hours , a day with two shifts, claiming tha they are working 14 hours days and 13 hours at night, with allowances for meals. The employes want the day divided into three shifts of eight hours each and assert that their demands are reasonable. The skilled papermakers are the only ones directly concerned in the con- agriculture, iti -this~séction in the future, with special reference to the important part dairying is des- jined to play. A. T. Hoverstead, formerly of the Crookston; ex- perimental farm, also spoke ‘along the same lines. In the evening the banquet | te the delegates was served at the Hotel Pokegama, and was well at- tended by delegates and townspeo- ple. The addresses of the evening were made at St. Joseph’s _ hall. Rupert Swinnerton of Hibbibg, vas the first speaker, and; his subject, “Business and Patriotism,” showed how the two ould be made to go together. E. C. Kiley spoke on “Town and Country,” demon- strating that the two were inter- dependent and one could not pros- ged unless the other shared in ‘like degree the effects of this prosperity. Prof. VanDyke of Col- eraine, contributed an interesting feature, this being about thirty stereoptican views, mostly of Itasca County scenes. “Training for Farm Life,” was the subject of Prof. Storm, while Mr. Hoverstead used as his subject, “Possibilities of Agriculture in Northern Minnesota. Although this was to have been the last meeting of the year, it was decided to hold another late in the summer, most likely at Grand Rapids. Many matters of importance could not be reached at this time and it was thought ‘best to await a more propitious season for clearing them up.

Manager A. C. Bossard, who is also president of the company, de- clines to discuss the situation but intimates that the trouble will be | of short duration. The action is in line with a de- cision made at a recent meeing of the employes of the Little Falls, Sartell and Grand Rapids mills some time ago, when it was an- nounced that an eight-hour shift was to be granted or a strike would follow. The men at the Lit- tle Falls and Sartell mills struck “Saturday. Children’s Day will be observed by the Presbyterian Sunday school next Sunday, ‘June 8th, at eleven o'clock. Parents and others, who are interested are invited! to be present. + HIGHWAY ALLOWED Word was received last Friday at the office of County Auditor Spang that the state highway com- mission. had granted the applica- tion of the Itasca county commis- sioners to construct what is known as the Deer River-Northome road. This highway divides the long and short ranges of the county and opens up a vast stretch of excel- lent farming territory. Starting at Deer River, it runs through the township of that name through Oteneagan township, between the towns of Lake Jesse and Marcell, through Wirt, and thence north- westerly to Northome. Connecting at its southern end with Highway No. 4, already granted, the road twill make a through line from Northome, through Grand Rapids to Duluth. This last granted sec tion of the road is about thirty seven miles in length and esti mated to cost $80,752.80.
