Easter.

Last Sunday was Easter, and the day was
beautiful indeed. A goodly number OF our
people attended religious services In the
various churches.
The Methodist church was beautifully deco
rated with flowers, and devout worshippera
filled the pews.
The Associate Reformed church never ap.
peared more beautiful or more attractive.
Flowers, the most beautiful of the plant crea-
ton. were muoh in evidence and In great
profusion. The service was In the beauty oil
holiness In the sweetness of love, ana In
reverential devotion, while the choicest OF
Natures's plant creation, reminded the
worshippers OF the Saviour's love for both Us
and the flowers. In his spirituality and bis
temporarily he likened himself t. the lily Of
the valley and the rose Of Sharon. He and
they were the best exemplars Of the
Creators wisdom and goodness. Nothing
of earth could so near approach our Saviour's
purity or bear sweeter incense from our OWL
hearts to Him who first loved rs. Sweet
music by the choir crowned the whole and
carried our souls in devotion to the adorable
and ever living Head OF the church.
Flowers are always associated with the
best and the sweetest emotions Of the human
heart. Flowers are always welcome, whether
at our birth. or In our joys, or in our sorrows'

the holy temple be decorated and ornament

ADVANCING HORSE PRICES.
A Few Years Ago There Was a Bounty
on Killing Stations.

A hundred horses are need by the
government for the army maneuvers
to take place at American Lake,
WASH, next month. or course, these
horses must be suited for the work
expected of them, consequently the
government finds that they are very
scarce and in order to get them VIII
have to purchase them at long prices
or pay a daily rental of $1.50 each for
nine weeks, which means n pretty Dig
expense.
In commenting on the situation OF
| the horse market in Washington at
present. the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
says:
Twelve years ago In eastern WASH
| ington men were killing horses by the
hundreds. They were worth literally
less than nothing, for there was abso-
lutely no market for them In some
sections, and the hard times were
causing a shortage in everything ex-
cept livestock
Eleven years ago there was boun-
ty for killing stations in two or three
counties of eastern washington
Horses were often sold by the dozen
and many really good 1000 and llo.
pound horses were given away or Solo
; for n dollar or two.
Then somebody began sending morse
meat to France for canning, and some
, one else sent it east. soon the stocr
market was not overstocked. In
I wear or two the country began to re
, cover from its depression, and IRON
< then on the price of horses has stead
s lily risen. -,
With the immense amount or ran
( road construction work, of street I'M
, provements in many cities, of farming
on a large scale, and with the con
n traction of the once limitless range
:. horses are getting comparativei
