OPERA COMP ANY
PLEASES MANY

The Joseph Sheehan Opera Com
pany played to a good sized audience
last evening at Days theatre. Each
member of the company in the posse
sor of a good voice. Mr.. Sheehan, OF
course, took the greatest share of
the applause and appreciation but he
was followed closely by the other
members of the company.
The Prison Scene, the ever popular
number of II Trovatore, the beauti-
full second scene from Martha, with
the spinning wheel quartette and the
Good Night song and the selections
from the Bohemian girl showed the
versatility of the artists and great
ly pleased the lovers of high class
music who were present.
More of this class of entertainment
should be brought to this city and
the number of people who turned
out to hear these really good singers
shows that Grand Rapids is not at
all behind her sister cities in the
matter of and ability to appreciate
the very best there is in the way of
drama or grand opera.

WHAT ARE BOUILLON CUBES?

Bouilon cubes are nice, are they
not? Such a high priced luxury and
so full of nourishment and so con-
duciYe to strength, we are told.
Yet the United States Department
of Agriculture has made a thor
ough investigation and in its re-
port states that what the public is
really buying is cubes of favored
salt at price which ought to earn
dividends which would make the
Standard Oil profits look cheap.
The cubes range as high as IS per
cent salt and the price ranges from
ten u twenty cents per ounce, so
that it can easily be figured out that
the public is paying high prices for
salt water. The cubes are harmless
and the government bulletin states
that there has been no violation OF
the pure food law, is the manufac-
turers have been careful not to lay

THE BEASTS KNOW

F. c. Bostock, the celebrated train
er of wild animals, says: I'm some
curious, incomprehensible way, Wild
animals know inst.nl lively whether
men are addicted to bad habits. 1t
is one of the many problems that
are beyond human understanding. For
those who are in the least inclined
to drink or live a loose life, the
wild animal has neither fear nor re-
spect. He despises them with all
the contempt of his nature and rec
ognizes neither their authority nor
their sup eriority. If a man has be
gun to take just a little, or has de-
waited somewhat from the straight
road the animals will discover it long
before his fellow men. Absolute per
sonal integrity seems to be the first
requisite for the man who would get
the confidence and control Of animals
The quality in the trainer which
dominates the animal nature within
is precisely the quality which domd-
mates the animal he trains. II he
Yields to the brute within him, no
matter how little, his perfect poise
and self-mastery are gone, and the
keen instinct of the wild beast rec
ognizes this instantly. Beasts seem
to understand mans degradation to
their level, and his life is in danger
every moment he. is in theircage."

OPTIMISTIC THOUGHT

When the game seems lost and you
want to quit and you're sticking just
by your nerve and grit and you can't
see an earthly chance to win and
you're weary and jaded and near
'all in don't ever keep your heart
till the game is through, till the
last hard minute is passed and gone
fight on!
The chaps who win are the boys
with pluck who never will quit till
the gong is struck, and many and
many a game they play is won at
the END of a LOSING day-won by
sticking the struggle out, won by
going the whole long route, while
they-though weary in brain and
braWn-fight on

COUNTRY LIFE
CONFERENCE
Open Country Leaders Called

betterment of life in the open coun-
try will take part in the fourth an
nual Wisconsin Country Life Confer
ence, which will meet at the Col
Iege of Agriculture, January $3.50.
Problems affecting country life will

or the town and village.
Graham Taylor Of Chicago, editor
of The Survey, will discuss 1.-The
Social Functions Of the Rural
Church." and Bishop w. w. Webb
of Milwaukee, is scheduled to speak

Rural Church. Both of these men
are authorities in their particular
lines, and will add greatly to an
already strong program.
Ways of improving the rural school
will be told by Miss Jessie Field,
National Town and Country Y. w.
C. A. secretary, who, at one time
was called the leading exponent of
1.-The new way" of teaching one-room
district schools. The pioneer among
rural consolidated schools, the John
Swaney school, Putnam county, Il
linois, will be described by Clerk
w. B. Mills, and A. J. LoVejoy, one

work done in another Illinois school

six weeks, and by that same sign

forthcoming for the identical period.

ST. Patrick's day
How Mister Grounding knows whel
the second day of February arrives
is a mystery. 1t is hardly supposed
that he has the latest 1914 beauty
calendar, for he took up his abode
IN his comfortable home before they
were issued. However he knows
that ii IS the day and he acts ac-
cordingly as if the fates decreed.
The question is also asked what
time will he be seen? This might
be important, say some, as the sun
might not shine during the entire
day. But the number of Groundhog
families is large and they may not
all set up at the same hour of the
day which leaves the possibility of
escaping even the least bit of sun
shine very doubtful.

inches in any one dimension are
''tabooed." On New Years day an or

trunks is given as the reason for
the order.
This provision will effect CONNER
cial travellers most vitality Baggage
handlers grumble that the biggest
trunks Of all are those carried by
clothing house statesmen. 1t is rare
ly that the non-professional traveller
carries trunk larger than fifty-four
inches.
Tie immigrant from foreign coun-
tries is the only person exempt from
the limit provision.
All packages measuring more than
seventy-two inches must be shipped
by express or freight, and their own

lays. Any excess over forty-fiye
inches is charged for, the same rate
per inch, in either direction, as is
