Movement is Started Among
the Lutherans for Con-
centrated Action.
HENOSHA MEMBERS TO VOTE.

Sentiment in favor of the union Of
the Wisconsin and Missouri synods Of
the Lutheran Church in Wisconsin is
rapidly crystalizing amorg laymen of
both bodies of the church. Following
resolutions adopted at the convention
Of laymen held in ST. John S Church,
Milwaukee, on March 9th, the commit
tee in charge of the movement is now
conducting state wide canvass among
the six hundred congregations in Wis
consin which will be directly affected
by the fusion. Thus far expressions
favoring the amalgamation have come
chiefly from well known laymen
The following resolutions, adopted
at the joint meeting Of laymen from
both synods, are now being widely cir
culated throughout the state:
Resolved, That we, members of the
various congregations of both synods,
assembled in St. Johns Church, ac-
cepting the arguments for consolida-
ton presented in the printed circular
before US, declare ourselves in favor
Of the amalgamation Of both synods
Resolved, That we lay this matter
before our congregations in due man
ner land use our influence to induce
same to decide in favor Of such union.
Resolved, That we present this ques-
ton, In a proper way, to our congre-
cation for discussion at it's next reg
ular meeting.
Resolved, That we recommend that
all our congregations, or at least great
numbers of them, memorabilia their re-
spective synod, requesting that this
matter be placed on the order of bust
ness at this years session.
Concentration and unity in the con-
duct of the higher institutions of
learning would be one result of a
union, while a thorough re-organiza-
tion of the common church schools al
SO would be made possible. It would
result in the abolition Of the congre-
gational system, now in existence, and,
the founding of a district system, with
a common superintendent at the head.
The result would yield the parochial
schools greater scope and permit of
their geographical location in such
manner as to be of the greatest serv-
ice to the various congregations sup
plying them with pupils.

kidneys, or bladder, rheumatism, sciat-
lea, diabetes, bed-wetting, leg ulcers,

eases, that have batflod the skill OF the
family physicians should not fail
to call.
According to their system no more
operations for appendicitis, gall stones,
tuners, golfers, piles, etc. By their
method these diseases are treated with
cut operation or hypodermic injection.
They were among the first in Ameri-
ca to earn the name of "Bloodless
Surgeons, by doing away with the
knife, with blood and with all pain in
the successful treatment of these dan
gerous diseases.
If you have kidney or bladder trou-
bles bring two ounce bottle of your

Governor McGovern has asked the
Wisconsin legislature to pass bill
which he has had drafted for the crea-
ton of a state market commission.
In various ways the commission would
promote agriculture and the develop
ment of the natural resources of the
state 1t would combine the duties of
the existing dairy and food commits
sion, the state board of immigration
and the state board of agriculture; it
would give instruction by coTrespon-
dence and bulletins and distribute in
formation useful to farmers. Most i'm
portant of all is its power to establish
city markets and to bring closer to-
gether city consumers and rural pro-
dueers. Such a commission, with the
right men appointed to it, might do
much for the good of Wisconsin. That
state is making many experiments in
government which are being watched
with interest in other states; if it can
solve the problem of bringing the pro-
hucer and the consumer of farm pro-
duets into touch with each other so as
to cut down the great cost of distribu-
ton, it will set an example that will
be widely followed. It is generally
recognized that there is too much waste
IN many existing methods. Commits
sions, of course, can do little unless
backed up by public sentiment. It

what is the outcome of this PLAN

BL COMING PLANTS
FOR SHADY PLACES

Dame Nature, in her wisdom. has pro-
vided flowers for almost every situation.
If all plants. like the portulaca and many
other kinds Welded their blossoms only
under the caress of the hot sun, some OF
us with sh AIDED gardens would fare badly.
Fortunately, some Of the handsomest
the best are the tuberous-rooted begonias.
plants of which are sold by all dealers.
They may be used at the base OF the
house or in beds where they are superior
even to the much-beloved geranium. The
foliage is attractive, but the flowers,
hite, crimson. orange and scarlet, are
simply gorgeous. When Well grown these
flowers are often six inches across. some
fringed and some crested. The plants be-
gin TO flower in July and the procession
of bloom is not interrupted until the
blghting hand of Jack Frost puts an end
to it, June is early enough to set them
out. and they need rich ground with
plenty of water.
F'uchsias have been somewhat neglect

SIN AIDED places. provided these places are
also sheltered the plants suffer If eN-
