MEMORIAL BRIGADE
Formed From Grand Rapids Boys
and Girls.

In the last issue of the REPORTER,
under the head of ''The Dead are
Honored Today" it was stated that
there were in the Memorial day
parade number of school Children in
charge Of their teachers. We have
discovered since that this was not the
exact fact The boys and girls in the
parade were members of the "BoyS'
and Girls Memorial Brigade" an
organization for the purpose of aiding
in the observance of Memorial dag
and extending kindness to the vete-
rams of the wars of our country.
There are sixty members in this
brigade, which is under the charge Of
the w. r. G. The object of this
organization is a most worthy one,
and it is movement that should be
more nearly universal. Years and
years are passing away, and the men,
bers of that army of brave men to
whom we owe the actual existance
today, of this great free and en-
lightened United States, are growing
fewer and fewer every day. Too
easy, it is, to forget the deeds wrought
by these men, in remembering the
conditions existing today. Although
in all public schools there is taught
the wisdom and business of observing
Memorial day, this thought is not
sunk deeply enough into the mind of
the comipp generation. When they
are men and women, it will be more
than fifty years after the time OF the
Civil War, and the last of the men
who fought in that war will probably
have passed away. But the memory
of the deeds they wrought, and the
inestimable good they did for this
country should never pass away, but
should always be fresh in the minds
of those enjoying the fruits Of their
labors.
The society is organized in the
same manner as any secret society,
having regular meetings at which the
object of the society, having pass
word, and having regular meetings at
which the object of the society is
brought out in the entertainments
offered. The members of the w. R. G.
and the G.. A. r, become honOry men,
bers upon the payment of twenty-five
cents, the regular membership fee
being ten cents.
That the movement is showing
results, there is not the least Of doubt.
A good number of the members were
out on Memorial day and marched
with the old soldiers to the cemetery:
over seventy-fve punches Of cut
flowers were given by the members of
the Brigade to be placed on the graves
of the boys in blue.
Nothing shows better the object and
true worth of the society than the
obligation exacted from all it's men,
bers. It is: II do solemnly affirm
that will support the Constitution
of the United States and of the State
of Wisconsin; that / will obey the
orders of my superior officers and use
my best endeavorS to carry out the
objects of this society. l also promise
not to tell the password to anyone
not member of this society; also to
| do all in my power to help the soldiers
on Memorial day."

Grounds for Divorce

Miss Cansdale, who is license clerk
in the county clerks Office, tells of a
fellow from Gunnison county, who
could give old Blackstone cards and
spades and then beat him easily. The
blank applications for marriage Ii
censes contain number of printed
qu,stions which applicants must
answer and among others are the
questions, "Have you ever been di
vorced - ''On what grounds? p The
coveted merger permit was granted
but imagine the surprise of the clerk,
when few days ago she discovered
that in answer to the question
On what grounds2" the applicant
had written BLACK soil - This was
probably meant by the smart appli
cant to indicate that he tlidn live on
a DOLBY fiat or gumbo swamp but the
lawyers all say this is grounds for
divorce which they have never seen
described by the authorities.

RAISING BhOODER CHICKS.
Great tnre necessary In the Matter
of Feeding.

Great tnre necessary In the Matter
of Feeding.
The first feed for the little chicks
should be fine grit and II very little
millet seed and whole wheat, says Il.
d. Sando in the Feather. Give your
little chicks just enough food when You
give them their first meal so they will
get Il good taste of 1t. and do not feed
them over twice the first day you start
feeding them. On the second day feed
them three times; after that until they
are about four weeks old feed them
very little four times each day, and be
sure all the food Is well cleaned up be-
oftcncr than this you may overfeed
them, and that is just what you want
to avoid. Keep the chicks hungry
enough so that they will enjoy their
next meal, and see that they run after
you ut feeding time instead of you
running after them. Better let the
chicks go hungry for a few hours than
to overfeed them one minute. but be
sure to give them all the food they will
eat in the evening, as it will have to
last them twelve hours.
After the second day and until the
chicks are ten days old feed them
equal parts of whole wheat. cracked
corn and millet seed. After the tenth
day and until they are four weeks old
feed them equal parts of who.e wheat,
coarse cracked corn and buck wheat
and during the fourth week add oats.
Twice week add Il little millet seed
to this.
The floor Of the brooder should be
covered to depth Of two inches with
either fine cut clover hay, sand or chafr
and the food scattered in this This
will make the chicks hunt and scratch
for the food and will give them eXer-
else, which they must have to do well.
Green food Is another important aids
to good health, and plenty of 1t should
be provided for the chicks If the
chicks are cooped upon fresh grass the
problem Is easily solved, because they
will help themselves. However, the
January, February and March Matched
chicks cannot have access to fresh
grass; hence Il supply Of green food
must be provided. Cabbages, lettuce,
mangel wurzels and onion tops alS
make good green food. which for the
baby chicks should be chopped fine In
vegetable chopper. AS soon as the
grass begins to grow the lawn mower
trimmings are an excellent green food
supply, and the same can be said Of
weeds from the garden. which are cas-
lily obtained. Both ground beef scraps
Tor some other form of meat and grit
should always be kept before the
chicks. Grit in the giZZard to grind the
food Is most important factor In pre-
venting Indigestion and looseness Of
the bowels. Coarse sand will answer
the purpose very well until the chicks
are week or ten days old. but after
that some coarser material must be
provided.
Do not allow the chicks to get any
water until the morning Of the fourth
day, but after that water should be
kept constantly before them.

The blackboard in one of the class
rooms of our school showed that while
the scholars were as far advanced as
bookkeeping in their studies they
were very deficient in spelling, capi-
talization and punctuation Words
such as ''syths'', 'snathse' and
''hoze" puzzled some of the voters
present, and small initial letters in
proper names caused them to laugh
and inquire who the teacher of the
class was. 1t struck some of them
that the rudiments of education should
he taught before entering into the
mel.
