STATE OR PRIVATE BUSINESS
Two Ways Of Looking at Necessary
Reforestino Of Waste Lands Of
Community.

There surely ought to be a better
way Of reforesting the waste lands of
Michigan than the one just proposed
furnishing the young trees free and
paying the owner Of the land a bonus
for planting them. II tree planting
Is a paying operation. why should the
state pay individuals for going into
the business? II II 10 not, II the trees
are TO be planted for the effect they
will have on the climate and for the
good they will do TO the state at
large, a bonus for tree planting will
not serve the purpose. The owner
OF the land will have no inducement to
hiring the trees TO maturity II that
means an expenditure OF money and
pains. II the bonus Ia big enough to
tempt him 10 plant trees. and there
is no further inducement 10 care for
them. he will leave them to take their
chances. and most OF the money will
be thrown away. As matter OF fact
tree planting has been proved TO be
a most lucrative business, but not for
the individual. for the man who plants
rarely lives TO reap the harvest. Con
sequently, few men care tC. go In for IL
II Is a business that should be under
taken by the state. which lives for
ever and will itself reap what profits
there may be.--Detrolt Journal

AUBURN CADET BAND A
 COMMENCEMENT FEATURE
ny RALPH R. SILVER

Auburn, June s.-(Speeial )-Perhaps no single feature of the 1915 Auburn com mencement has caused a much favorable comment and general praise as the per formances of the Auburn 1914-19l5 cadet band
 Consensus of opinion here this week is that the present Auburn musical organ ization is the best southern band that has ever been organized. The two per formances of the organization. one at the regimental review before Gov. Charles Henderson and his staff and the other at the band concert given on the campus during the Festival of Lights. simply brought amazement to hundreds of the commencement visitors. The martial mu- sic furnished by the band during the drills before the governor and his staff gave to the music lovers among the visitors the first hints of the real merit In the organization but in spite of this warning of what was to be expected the concert on the campus during the Festival of Lights made many of the listeners prone to disbelieve their ears
 As the bewitching strains of Robin Hood and similar compositions floated out over the campus to the ears of the promenaders wandering about under the Japanese lantern lights, full realization was had of the training and talent of the band. It is said here that efforts are to be made by Birmingham authorities to secure the bands services next spring for the 1916 United Confederate Veterans reunion. which will be held probably just a few days before the Auburn commence ment exercises begin.
 Played at Birmingham
 During the past year the band made several trips and a concert tour over the state, on the latter tour playing at Birmingham, Judson college, Prattville, Montgomery and other places One of the special trips was to Mobile and an- other was to Pensacola. when the and was the official musical organization at

JUST TWO WAYS ID
 DIE, SAID BIG MAN That Are Respectable-N New Health Thought Calls
 Disease Indecent

One of the country's foremost think CTS who recently met @ tragic end, shortly before death. penned these words: "One thing is sure. there are just TWO respectable ways to die. One Is Of old age and the other by acci : dens. All disease is indecent"
 Such is the text of the new health thought that many are accepting. Dis ease is said to be antagonistic to Ia ture and health to be the right of ev- cry man. A close study of natures way s anl natures laws is bringing a ncv health era for humanity.
 One thing that is doing much to ban sh common forms of disease is nat : urnl Nitalitas, medicine extracted from hearth stratum known to cX- ist at but one place. Vitalitas is com parable to some of the worlds best mineral waters. but is far more effect i've than any other known natural cur ative. II is rich in earth chemicals and forces that are essential to viz orous health. Many chronic disorders of stomach liver. kidneys, bowels and blood are literally swept away by Wit alitas, even where all else has failed. It is one of natures ways to heelth. See the display and sample Vitaiitas at Averyt's Drug Store, 109-11 goth st, or write there for information. Also for sale by Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,, Bessemer.

.|NDORSE PROPOSED
 STATE BOND ISSUE
Mass Meeting of Citizens at West Blocton Discuss
 Issue

West Bocton, June S.-tSpeeial)-A mass meeting of the citizens of Blocton and surrounding communities met in an open air meeting in West Blocton on Monday night in response to a call from Dr. George w. Randall, chairman of the Bibb county democratic executive com mittee pr. Randall called the meeting i to order and stated that the purpose was to discuss the question of submit ting the proposed bond issue to the people of the state.
 E. D. Reynolds. president of the West Blocton Savings bank, was called on and expressed his hearty approval of the bond issue. MT Reynolds stated that he thought the present administrations should not be hampered by the lack of sufficient funds and that in his judg ment, the appropriations already made were for worthy purposes. He thought that some way should be provided to take care of the present deficit in the state, and also to provide for future contingencies.
 Dr. w. J. Nicholson, recently ap- pointed judge of probate of Bibb coun-
 
 term of the county court here. pr. Nicholson said that the governor had asked that the question be submitted to the people, and that he was willing to risk the governors judgment in the matter. He thought that our representa- tives in the legislature should be asked that they use their influence to have the question submitted to the people.
 pr. J. F. Alexander was called on to express his views in the matter. and re- sponded enthusiastically in favor of the submission of the question. Dr Alexander thought the people should he granted the right to say whether we will have the bond issue or not, and that some safe business plan should be adopted to take up the outstanding ob- legations of the state, and at the same time to provide for the probable future deficit by the removal of the convicts from the mines.
 w. W. Lavender also addressed the meeting, giving his approval of the proposed bond issue. He suggested that the obligations of the state should be concentrated, and put in better business shape.
 Talks were also made by Ed Roach of Piper, Pat shannon. E. M Bishop and others along the same lines, and a rea- olution was unanimously adopted tha; we go on record as favoring the suh- mission of the question to the peopls of Alabama.
