From the Municipal Journal and Engineer
The second civic revival and civic survey
was he'd in Grand Rapids November 3-s
under the auspices of the municipal af-
fairs committee Of the board Of trade. as
sisted by city boards and Institutions,
with very successful results. Prof.
Charles Zeublin of Boston was a speaker,
and the afternoon meetings were held in
Press Hall, while evening meetings were
held in different sections of the city, I'M
der auspices of the local business mems
associations Stereopt1con slides were
used to illustrate these lectures, making
them popular and easily understood The
leading theater of the city was engaged
for the meetings Sunday afternoon and
evenings, and was filled with people. All
the lectures were vel attended and much
interest was manifest. Rooms in the rear
of Press Hall were utilized for the eX-
hibits, which had to do with housing.
parks and Fairgrounds, public health: city
planning and other matters. and striking
comparisons were shown with other cities.
The civic survey program included Irusic.
stereopticon pictures, folk dancing and
PLAYS each evening at Press Hall. The
municipal affairs committee held its
roundup meeting al the Pant.ind Hotel
November 8, and 1t was unanimously de-
cided to work together, nrst, Tor a pure

suits have already sprung from the sec

THE MISTLETOE.
The Ancient Drmdical Rite in
Oaken Groves.

James A. B. Scherer, in Scribner's Magazine
These somber disciples of Taranis and
Canulus were chanting their hymn to the
dawn in low monotonous wailings as the
king led on the advance through and out
of the forest to the smooth summit of a
little gorse-sprinkied hill. beside the soft
flowing Avon'-and, there suddenly paus-
ing struck his gigantic spear into the soil
which he had chosen for the planting of
the corner stone of Warwick 1t was be-
meath the spreading branches of an oak,
the only tree left standing on the hill,
and the Druids gave a shout of rapturous
joy. With them the high oak was held
sacred as the stern and lonely monarch
Of the trees, speaking to them Of their
gods. and it pleased them to note the
pieus foresight OF the king. Instantly
the archpriest. old Dallan, hurried for
ward, searching the pale green boughS
with keen eyes, while his fellows pressed
encircled the tree. Then, suddenly with
out warning, and as though he never had
come before, the sun shot up above the
vast unbroken forests to eastward, and
kissed the budding oak upon the hill top
so that there ran "a little noiseless noise
among the leaves" as they trembled at
the touch of his rays. On the instant the
eager-eyed arch-Druid, thrusting both
clenched hands straight upward in highly
wrought religious excitement, uttered
tense prolonged shrek which fairly
curd Led Caradoc's blood:
"Oo-yee! The Mistletoe, All-heal!"
Oo-yeei''

Fruit Discoveries.
vrom the Chicago Record Herald.


Several discoveries all relating to the
fruit industry have been made In New
England recently. We present the list
here: Modern methods of spraying and
general culture should be adopted; atten-
ton should be paid to selection of varie-
ties: care should be taken in packing ard
grading: there should be uniform brand
ing SO that the brand may come to have
definite meaning.
Obviously the spirit of investigation and
discovery was stimulated by recent de-
velopments on the Pacific coast. New
EnglanGers AID others In that part of the
country have been doing things while the
population near Plymouth and the other
rocks ha; been following in the footsteps
of the fathers. Fighting pests is a regu-
lar part of the business of the western
growers, and not one of them expects to
succeed without maintaining vigorous
warfare. The strenuous nature of the
campaign is indicated by letter from a
California nurseryman with whom per-
sistent spraying is cardinal principle.
1t is fight, fight, fight all the time, with
the object of securing a perfectly clean
orchard. Another fruit raiser of the far
west gives the rule: Cultivate fertilize
irrfgate. And when we come to market
tng-Wel, the markets tell the story.
The way Of the fathers is shown in bar
-eis of dirty, uneven and wormy fruit
that is repelent rather than attractive
boxed and wrapped specimens of the
choice products of the orchards. In spite
Of the great difference in price the fine
fruit has the call. Apples from Oregon
and Washington make outcasts of the
good old-fashioned job lots
But New England seems to have
learned the lesson. They had an ex-
hibition in Boston recently of New Eng
land fruit brought up by hand after the
western style, and they are very proud
they say, that the soil is all right. All
that is required is an intelligence
that has been wanting hitherto. Given
that and manifest advantages of trans
porta ton and marketing. an advantage
in railroad rates. an advantage in leaving
the fruit on the trees until it is mature
and fine favored, and New England
should be able to defy competition.
Perhaps the discoveries are late but
they are better late than never. And II
New England has been slow there is a
wide stretch of country between New
England and the Pacific coast that may
possibly learn something Of New Eng
land.

The efficiency of the service. the annor nee
ment has just been made that by next
Monday new system of administration,
known as tta unit SYSTEM" is to be put
in effect or the Hartman lines.
The change will involve the central
ization of authority and the abolition of
special titles and duties. aiming to give
each officer a general interest IN all the
branches of railway management, besides
he srecitic knowledge he must have of
the department I'm which his duties lie.
The system of organization was devised
Iv Mai. Charles Hine. and has been tried
extensively on various portions of the
Hartman lines.
In n the old system of organization,
the division superintendent has had I'M
der him an assistant division superin-
tendent one or two trainn1asters, a resi-
de1t or division engineer. master ma
chanic and other officers, each of whom
had his special range of duties and his
s9ecial office. None OF these, generally.
had any chance of becoming acquainted
with the details Of departments other
than his own. SO that disadvantage was
often worked upon both the officer HIM
self and the company from the narrow
ing influence.
Under the new system these special
titles will be abolished, and each of tbs
minor officials will have the title of as
SiStart superintendent.
There will usually be senior assistant
superintendent. and from time to time
each of the assistant superintendent
may be given the duties of this place or
put in the vacancy caused by absence
Of ore of the other assistants, so that.
although one has special interest in mo-
tive power or maintenance of roadway,
nc will feel d familiarity with the entire
field.
One of the economical advantages of
the new sy stem, It is said, will be mate
rial cutting down of letter writing.

In the village of Sticichal, near Cow

built by one mana stonemason, named
John Green. In 1910 he laid the first
stone Of the edifice. and seven years later
completed the building. In all that time
he derived assistance from no one, doing
all the work with his own hands until
the church was ready for it's interior
fittings. This is the only stone structure
in England-and probably in the world-of
which every stone was laid by one man.
