THE PASSION PLAY

About seventy-fve men heard the
lecture on the Passion Play delivered
by Dr. Wyant at the Y. M. G. A..
building Sunday afternoon. The pres
entation Of this remarkable play was
reverent and inspiring and many men
expressed their appreciation Of it. It
was certainly a great contrast to the
moving picture presentations that
are familiar to all and the effect upon
those who heard it was much better.
Besides the play itself the doctor gave
very interesting account of the his
tory of the people of the village of
Oberammergau. DR.. Wyant will visit
Europe again next year and see the
play again.

GAME WARDENS

Something that everybody else in
the state has known or suspected for
years-namely, that the game wardens
force, one of the major cogs in the
greatest and smoothest machine ever
built up in this state and a most ct
fective instrument in the hands of
Senator LaFollette in numerous cam
paigns, is in politics struck the
members Of our legislature with great
force at this session and some Of them
are out to put the game wardens out
of business entirely. In their grief
and surprise that such things could be
they are going too far. In the inter
walls between playing politics the game
wardens, some Of them at least, paid
some attention to their duties and the
work they did has shown what bet
ter organized and more carefully Sc
lected force attending strictly to the
business for which it is paid could do
in the enforcement of the game laws
Of the state. So long as we have
game laws in the state we must have
a special set Of officials to enforce
them and they might as we'll be called
game wardens as anything else. We
would rather see the nature of the
force changed than it's name. The
time has come for careful re-organi-
cation Of the force with the politics
left out and that can be accomplished
without wiping out the force alto
gether and taking an entirely fresh
start. Reducing the force materially,
giving each official prescribed terri
tory to work in with his duties care
fully defined, and putting the whole
department under the operation of the
civil service law, as will probably be
proposed in a substitute bill to take
the place Of the one which proposes
to abolish the department. entirely,
would do the business. There is moth
ing to be gained by trying lot
of experiments in the enforcement Of
the game laws just because the game
wardens department. has been made
part Of a political machine for years
and was organized primarily to play
politics.

The following little "health hint y
from the Tribune is as applicable to
conditions in this city as it is to those
of the larger one 1t is along the line
of practical application Of all the ac-
cepted theories Of social betterment
work and has proved of. great benefit
wherever it has been given a. fair trial
Close contact with mother earth is
of unreasonable benefit to all sorts
and conditions of men and the farther
they grow away from it the more like
ly they are to find themselves sur
rounded by artificial and unhealthful
conditions in their daily lives. The
hint says;
CHOW that the growing season is
at hand why not plant something
No matter how small the piece of
ground may be it can be made to pro-
duce things of use and beauty. AS
a matter of both health and economy
there should be no idle or waste land.
t1The piece Of ground that is not
needed to produce fruits or vegetables
should now be utilized for growing
flowers In this way unsightly city
back yards and vacant lots. can be
made to yield enough fresh vegetables
to supply hundreds Of tables and at
the same time furnish healthful and
profitable employment to those Of any
age or sex who can be induced to ac-
cept it.
1T is a mighty good scheme for
idle hands and idle lands to get to
gether."

Rev. J. @. BusweIl, Formerly OF
Somers, One Of the Leading
EvangeIists Of World
PROMINENT IN BIG REVIVAL
Fernie B. G. Stirred by the Preaching
Of Former Kenosha County Man
and Whole Town Takes
Part in Revival

/ TOlIOWlHS Ill Tie lOOISl0pS OIL Tie
Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, who has a
world wide reputation as an evange-
list and adopting some of the methods
Of "Billy0 Sunday, the former base
ball player, who is now famous in the
1evangehstic work, a. Kenosha county
boy is becoming one Of the great
leaders in the religion world Of today.
He is the Rev. J. O.. Buswells Of the
town Of Somers in this county and
he is just now reaching the zenith Of
his power as an evangelist.
A week ago yesterday the Rev. Mr..
Boswell began series Of meetings at
Fernie, B. c., and the interest in the
meetings has been SO great that -
| is declared they will continue indef-
nitely. The spirit of the revival has
taken such hold on the city of Fer
ME that a daily paper is being issued
in the interest of the revival and it
lis said that all classes of people in
| the city are interested. t
Kenosha county has not been in
close touch with Evangelist Boswell
for some time and the reports from
the Fernie meetings will be of great
est interest to the people Of the county
who formerly knew him.
The Rev. Mr.. Buswell was born in
the town of Somers and is a member
Of one of the pioneer families Of that
town. The family has always been
closely connected with religious move
ments in Somers and in Kenosha
county. V4
Mr.. Boswell received his college ed
ucation at Hillsdale College, Michigan
and upon graduating from that school
he went to Detroit where for five
years he was engaged in the study Of
mems work in the great religious
field. After that he took ups the reg
ular pastorate work in the Presby-
terrain church and is now a. member
of the Minneapolis Presbytery.
He is also general superintendent of
the Lumbermen s Evangelistical Coun-
ell, department. organized to meet
the needs of the lumbermen Of the
west. AS short rest from his labors
in Boston and Springfield, Mass, Rev.
Mr.. Boswell stopped at his Mime
apohs home two Or three days on his
road to Fernie, and put in his time in
his official Office of the Lumbermen s
Council, catching up with an ac-
emulation Of three months business
which welcomed him on his office desk.
Leaving his wife and his four BOYS
once more he crossed the divide twixt
east and west and is in Fernie where
he is already deep in the 'sKing's
Business as he calls his revival
work.
Mr.. Boswell is man Of great per-
|sonal power and magnetism and pull
pit orator with few superiors in the
country. Since he has been in the
Ievangelistic work he has held meet
ings in many of the larger cities of
the United States and Canada and he
has proved a great help to the church.
His meetings are always Of the inter
denominauonal sort.
