has bright spots pierclidiits Discuss Hass

The vlllaee of Lowell, which Is lo-cated on M-21 midway between Grand Rapids and Ionia and at the point where the beautiful Flat and Grand Rivers meet, offers to the world each year what is probably the most unique production to be found anywhere in Michigan. I t is the "Showboat"—an actual, living, throbbing boat propelled by its own power and carrying 150 per-formers who duplicate the famed showboats of the Old South in gay colored minstrelsy and many added aitracUons. J. he showboat itseli is a two-decker with stern paddle wheels, twin smoke stacks, pilot house, etc., gaily trimmed and brilliantly lighted. The showboat entertainment has be-come an institution a t Lowell in which the best talent of the village takes par t In offeriiii U> the world a most entrancing evening's entertainment. Lowell Showboat th is year will be pre-sented on the evenings of Thursday, Friday and Saturday. August 3, 3 and 4, and it is confidently expected t h a t everyone of the 4,000 oomfortable seats will be occupied each evening. A nomi-nal admission fee of 25 cents is charged and the en t h e proceeds are used for charity and other worthy projects.

The Lowell Board of Trade, W. V. Burras, president, and the Lowell American Legion Post, William De-laney, commander, jointly sponsor the annual showboat production. Rudolph VanDyke assists as co-chairman.

Potatoes and Some Fruits are Ex-pected to be Much Better t h a n Production of Trailers

FLOWER SHOW TO BE

HELD AUGUST 17 AND 18

. , ^ _ , . Friday and Saturday, August 17 and ^ 4 ^ ? Brook* oi her t r ip tn \ < have been decided upon as t.*\e

dates for the Spar ta Garden Club Flower Show.

All varieti * of flowers may be en -tered, but zinnias, gladioli, and d a h -lias will be especially featured. Fur ther announcements concerning the event will be made next week.

No famine is in sight In Michigan figures of crop prospects for 1934 re -leased by Verne H. Church, s tate agri-cultural statistician.

T h e most Important crop shortages fcr this state are In feed crops for livestock, hay and fodder crops being much below normal. The only chance to remedy this shortage now 1s to p lant rye for pasture, as suggested by Michigan State College f a rm crops de-par tment .

Minhij«n potatoes are expected tc produce more bushels t han In 1933 If weather conditions f rom now until harvest are about normal. A crop of 22.950.0')0 bushels is indicated by pres-ent conditions. Last year's crop was 20.670,000.

Bean conditions are mnsiderablv worse than last year, as a crop of only 3.055,000 bags Is in sight and the pro-duction In 1933 was 3,519,000 bags. This decrease in probable production has occurred in spite of a plant ing five per cent greater than ?ast season.

C o m is expected to yield 40.363,000 bushels In Michigan as compared with last year's yield of 42,315,000 bushels. This crop has withstood the drought

1 well and grows rapidly in the unusual -ly hot weather prevailing. Increased plantings of fodder corn hav„ been made to replace hay shortages.

Another optimistic angle of the crop report is the probability of a better harvest of peaches, pears, and plums t h a n last year. The peach crop, how-ever, is still much below the average production for the state. T h e apple crop will be 3,500.000 bushels less t h a h last year's production of 8,651,000.

. Grapes and cherries are not so good i last year.

At last week's meeting of the Cham-ber of Commerce, which was largely attended, several members part icipat-ed in a discussion relative to the man-ufacturing of trailers In mass produc-tion at the local Welch plant .

J . G. McKenna, an engineer from Houston, Tex., has been in the com-munity for several days Interviewing local men relative to the trailer he proposes to manufacture a t the local plant.

After hp*ring the mat te r approach-ed from several angles by representa-tive leaders of the community, a mo-tion carried authorizing the appoint-ment of a committee to make proper investigation and <o report a t the next meeting which will be held a t the Lone Elm Restaurant Friday noon of this week.

Clifford VanDenHout, chairman of this week's enter ta inment committee, states tha t the at t ract ion for Saturday will be a display of fireworks to be held a t Willow Pa rk Saturday eve-ning. July 21, a t *:30.

I t has been some time since the citizens of tha community have had the opportunity of enjoying a display of this nature and it is quite probable tha t a very large crowd will be on hand early to view the exhibition.

Last Saturday evening Hager's Ac-cordion Band from G r a n d Renlds gave a very fine program, the first of its kind to be heard locally. The organ-ization consisted of several accordions, xylophones, and cello. Several local players were represented in the group. I t proved to be a very popular type of entertainment and a re turn engage-ment would be quite satisfactory among those who gathered to hear the program last Saturday.

"Life la the most precious thing you have," exclaimed Prof. Robert L. PhU-llpa of Purdue University, ln an elo-quent ftddrev, "The Great God Suc-cess." which he delivered to a very re -sponsive audience a t the Jn l ted Civic Banquet Monday night at the Ma-wnl r Temple.

"Life i% precious! The older we grow, the more we value it . Life Is important only so far as it is useful vO others around us.

T h e r e are three classes of people in every community," declared Prof. Phll-llps. "First, those whose Uvea are so important to the community tha t the community would suffer a great loss if they left.

"Second, those upon whom the com-munity a t large would express nn in-different a t t i tude, should death call them, and simply add, T o o bad, peace to their bones.'

"Third, those whose passing would b ; a genuine satisfaction to a commu-nity because of their utter unuseful-ness toward civic enterprises, and lack of friendliness to those about them."

In referring to the three currents of life the speaker stated, "Some call it destiny, o thers fa te and still others tvismet. We are all children of des-tiny and must learn to depend upon ourselves if success comes.

"One does not achieve success Ly chance or luck, but through ability, genius and nat ive endowment.

"We must learn what our natural endowment Is," said Prof. Phillips. "Pome do not discover it until middle aged.

We are intended to work. I t is a pity so many die f rom having nothing to do.

"The true God Success Is not the golden calf or the Hindu idol. The Oreai. God Success Is the God Je -hovah I

"The successful life must grow up-ward. never downward. The pursuit of success must always be upward."

r r o : . PhilUpa closed his address with several beautiful legends and historical incidents which held the attention of his audience to a remarkable degree.

He proved to be a profound thinker and an effective speaker. Many local citizens a f te rward expressed utmost satisfaction in the address and its in -tellectual appeal, claiming that it was among the best this community has had.

Prof. PuilUps was introduced by his fr iend and former neighbor. H j Kurtz.

The invocation was given by the Rev. B. F. W. P i tman of Bailey. E. W. Smith presided as toastmaster and brief talks were made by M. Harold Saur of Kent City, J . A. Lelunkuhle of Casnovia and H. Barnum of Bailey.

l iarmony Chapter . No. 34, O. E. S-, had charge of the banquet and served' a bountiful d inner . The long tables were beautifully appointed and the large number of refreshing bouquets of summer flowers gave a striking effect.
