Wallpaper enables you lo attain freshened decorative distinction for every room. . . with- out relegating heirlooms . . . without experimenting in oddity . . . without expending overmuch. It is not strange that wallpaper is depended upon lo carry the decorative scheme of so many of America's most ex- clusive homes. Wallpaper furnishes the perfect setting for our furniture, our pictures,, our clothes—ourselves. We can make that setting as vigorously modern as we wish and yet send none of our treasured period furniture to the gar- ret. We don't have to make over our homes completely to bring them up-lo-dale in a decorative sense. Wallpaper works the subtle magic which transforms a museum-like room lo a miracle of cheer. Wallpaper can turn even the hospital-like cell which is the average American bathroom into a room worthy to be considered a part of the home's decorative ensemble. Wallpaper can bring color and design into a kitchen, a closet or a hall- way which migh otherwise have been less attractive than the more important rooms of the house. Truly—wallpa- per works wonders.

The tracksters of the High school have been very successful thus far this season in downing most opponents. The boys have won several dual and triangular meets and also the Regional at Mt. Pleasant. At the State meet last Saturday Lowell took ninth place with 7 points, while the winners. St. Augustine, of Kala- mazoo, garnered 15 points. East Grand Rapids scored 7 points al- so. Most of the schools in the K. C. I. A. A. scored points at l^ansing Saturday and the pro- spects for a close contest al the county meet which will be held here in Lowell on June 6 are very bright. Coach Finch, until last Saturday, freely predicted that Lowell would again . take the county honors, but after the af- fair at Lansing last Saturday he stated that his boys would be lucky if they would emerge the victors on June 6. It is expect- ed that a large crowd will be in attendance. FOSTER—BORDIXE. Word has been received here of the marriage of Miss Edith Foster, of Battle Creek to Wesley S.

The Inexpensive Way To Achieve The Modern

Decorative Touch TO HELP YOl" achieve the smart contemporary decora-tive note without refurnishing your home, there is noth-ing like wallpaper. Wallpaper enables you lo attain freshened decorative distinction for every room. . . with-out relegating heirlooms . . . without experimenting in oddity . . . without expending overmuch.

It is not strange that wallpaper is depended upon lo carry the decorative scheme of so many of America's most ex-clusive homes. Wallpaper furnishes the perfect setting for our furniture, our pictures,, our clothes—ourselves. We can make that setting as vigorously modern as we wish and yet send none of our treasured period furni ture to the gar-ret. We don't have to make over our homes completely to bring them up-lo-dale in a decorative sense.

Wallpaper works the subtle magic which transforms a museum-like room lo a miracle of cheer. Wallpaper can turn even the hospital-like cell which is the average American bathroom into a room worthy to be considered a part of the home's decorative ensemble. Wallpaper can bring color and design into a kitchen, a closet or a hall-way which migh otherwise have been less attractive than the more important rooms of the house. Truly—wallpa-per works wonders.

COUNTY TRACK MEET HERE JUNE 6.

The tracksters of the High school have been very successful thus far this season in downing most opponents. The boys have won several dual and triangular meets and also the Regional at Mt. Pleasant. At the State meet last Saturday Lowell took ninth place with 7 points, while the winners. St. Augustine, of Kala-mazoo, garnered 15 points. East Grand Rapids scored 7 points al-so. Most of the schools in the K. C. I. A. A. scored points at l^ansing Saturday and the pro-spects for a close contest al the county meet which will be held here in Lowell on June 6 are very bright. Coach Finch, until last Saturday, freely predicted • that Lowell would again . take the county honors, but after the af-fair at Lansing last Saturday he stated that his boys would be lucky if they would emerge the victors on June 6. It is expect-ed that a large crowd will be in attendance.

In this connection a helpful bit of homely philosophy is contain-ed in the book, "Eben Holden," writ ten some thir ty years ago by Irving Bacheller. Many of our readers are probably familiar wilh this novel of the North country located around Lake Champlain and Northern Ver-mont.

To such readers it will not be difficult to recall the chapter wherein the old family doctor is described as being caught in a blizzard, and his horse, through familiarity with the place, wan-ders to the farm-house of David Brower. Here the old doctor is carried inlo the house where he dies—frozen to death. Accord-ing to the custom of ear l ier days Kben Holden and young William Brower sit in an adjoining room from that of the par lor where the dead man lies. I quote f rom the book:

"Uncanny noises broke in up-on the stillness of Ihe old house. Its t imbers, racked in the mighty grip of the cold, creaked and set-tled. Sometimes there came a sharp, breaking sound, like the crack of bones.

" F e r one Ihing," he said de-liberately, "nobody' l l die there,! 'less he'd ought to; don't believe ther ' s goin' t ' be any need o' swearin* er quarre l in . ' To my way o' th ink in ' it'll be a good deal like Dave Brower ' s farm— nice, smooth land wi th no stun on it, an ' valleys an ' whi te clov-e r a plenty, an ' wheat an ' corn higher 'n a man ' s head.
