MORE MEN NEEDED IN
ACTIVITIES OF CHURCH
That Was the Burden of the Song
at M e Quarterly
Conference.

Last Thursday was quarterly con-
ference day in the local Methodist
church, and it turned out to be a
very enjoyable one for those who
participated in the exercises. In the
morning the business affairs of the
church were attended to; the officers
making their regular reports. In the
afternoon the Rev. w. G. Crosby, of
Montfort, preached, and other minist-
ers of the conference spoke.
In the evening, at 6 o'clock, the
local Brotherhood held its dinner, at
which visiting c'ergymen were guests
of honor. The tables were set in
banquet form, and at the speakers
table sat Justice G. w. Burrows,
president of the local Brotherhood,
and the Revs. w. F. Tomlinson, w.
G. Crosby, w. H. Willett and
Thomas S. Beavin. Mr.. Tomlinson
is district superintendent and lives at
Platteville; Mr.. Willett is pastor of
the M. E. church at FennimUre Mr..
Crosby is pastor of the M. E. church
at Montfort; Mr. Beavin is the M.
E. pastor in this city.
After the dinner had been served,
the visiting clergymen were introduc
ed to the men at table by the presi
dent of the organization and each of
them in turn was required to make
an address. Then Mr.. Beavin spoke
and closed the program. The dinner
was very pleasing; and the after
dinner feature was really delightful.
Following the dinner, there was
public worship in the auditorium of
the church at which all the visiting
clergymen spoke. Mr.. Tom!inson
urged the organization of the men;
he is believer in the need of men
in the various activities of the
church. He said that he hopes to
have more men in the Sunday school,
more men in the various social
features of the church, and more men
in the congregation at the regular
services.
On Friday the same program was
enacted at Fennimore; on Saturday,
at Preston, there was preaching
morning and afternoon The Rev.
Mr.. BeavTn was at Fennimore and

KEEP A LOOKOUT FOR THE
BIG WHITE EARTH GRUB
1t Is Feared That Wisconsin Farmers
Will Lose Heavily by
the Pest.

Readers of The Herald will recall
that last May, Professor j. g..
Sanders, of the college of agri-
culture, Madison, was here carrying
on series of experiments regarding
the possible determination of the
white grub. He operated with strong
lights, that were mounted over tubs
of water, so arranged that the June
bug, father and mother of the grub,
would probably tumble into the
water and drown, if he was allured
by the light. The experiments were
conducted on the farm of w. A.
johnson, north of Lancaster.
Now the Legislature has appropriat-
ed So, 900 to be expended in the ex-
termination, so far as it goes, of this
pest. 1t is estimated that unless
early signs fail, Wisconsin is IN
position to lose at least five millions
of dollars this year by the grub.
Already we hear that in places the
ground is heavily sprinkled with the
young white grubs. The greatest
danger is for the roots corn, potatoes,
tobacco and timothy meadows.
The white grub, Prof. Sanders
explained, is one whose grub career
extends over period of three years,
during which it works underground,
living upon the roots of vegetation
and doing the damage. Then, after
three years of underground life, it
develops into the parent beetle stage,
comes out into the open air, lives
a brief life feeding upon the foliage
of trees, lays its eggs and then dies.
Grant county. soil is particularly
favorable for the propagation and de-
veIopment of these grubs. There is
predisposition to clay, and a large
percentage of humus, both of which
ingredients seem to beckon the grub
to settle down to housekeeping.

COMMUNITY Spirit
IN ELLENBORO MEET
To Make Farm Attractive as
Well as Productive.
Prof G. G. Humphrey, College of
Agriculture, the Leading
Speaker.

On w 6OU6Sudy Oh last week IHSES
took place at Ellenboro a conference
unique, because new in that COM
munity. For several months the
Rev, H. A. Studebaker has been
going to Ellenboro to preach every
Wednesday night. Splendid result is
have been achieved from 40 to 80
persons coming out regularly to the
services.
1t has been growing conviction in
the minds of religious leaders for
years that religion is more than
preaching, singing and praying. All
these are essential and indispensable
elements in religion, but by no means
all of it. Jesus mission was large
ly social and the church of modern
times is doing we'll to return to this
idea of it's founder. The church of
today which does not lay emphasis
upon the social side of the community
life is doomed to failure and should
fail.
There are innumerabe ways IN
which this phase of religion may be
emphasized in the rural districts.
1t was suggested by the minister that
an institute dealing with some ele-
ment of the farmers life should be
held, and this suggestion met with
instant favor. A committee was
chosen, compose of Messrs. Wolf,
Dobson. Clifton and the minister.
Thinking that discussion of single
phase of the farmers work would be
sufficient for the opening meeting,
the services of Prof. G C. Humphrey,
head of the annual husbandry de-
partment of the college of agri
culture, were secured to deliver two
addresses on dairying. In the after
noon be discussed the type of dairy
cows, covering the subjects OF breed
ing, care and dairy equipment. IN
interesting conference followed, in
which the general subject was dis
cussed in an informal manner by the
farmers. In the evening about one
hundred persons gathered to enjoy an
entertaining, as we'll as instructive,
program. Mrs. Ellie Dobson and
Miss BrechIer furnished piano duets
and Rev. H. A. Studebaker sang a
solo; several songs were very heartily
entered into by the entire audience.
After brief prayer Mr.. Humphrey
again spoke, this time on the feeding
of dairy cattle. He exhibited charts
showing four tables of dairy feeding
which tests have shown to be the
most ideal. This revealed the truth
that a COW will respond to proper
treatment, and if carefully fed anC
kindly treated becomes money pro
Queer of high rank. Some cows have
produced as high as thousand pounds
and more of butter fat per year.
An address was delivered by the
minister in which he tried to show
how the community life could be
greatly enriched and young people II
the rural districts influenced TO re-
main there, if the proper suciaI adj
vantages were supplied, and farmers
were to take greater interest II
making the old farm not only pro-
ductive, but attractive.
To say that the meeting was sue
cess is putting it very mildly, anC
the community Of Ellenboro duly APP
preciates the work of Prof. Humphrey
The institute will bear fruit and pave
the way for others.

Plant Alfalfa.

Once more let Us ask: are the
farmers of Grant county going to
plant some alfalfa this spring? 1t
will soon be time now. And if you
90 not plant the alfalfa now you will
be a year behind.
The people of the whole state are
awakening to this matter of alfalfa.
In Oconto county that we used to
think of as away up north-they
have 21O acres of alfalfa in small
fields all over the county, and they
got four tons to the acre-equal to
six tons Of clover or ten tons of
timothy The world is moving

Oriental Watar Bottles.

Hebron, one of the oldest cities in
Palestine, has always been famous for
its Oriental water bottles, made of
goat skins. Here are to be found large
tanneries, where these receptacles are
turned out by the thousands Lying
upon the ground in rows may be seen
hundreds Of goat skins awaiting pur-
chasers. Each skin is inflated, either
with water or with air, 30 that the
buyer may know it is perfectly water
tight. The majority of the skins used
come from Arabia, while large num-
Der are also received from the Leb-
anons. They are brought to Hebron
by the camel caravans and are pur-
chased by the tanneries and turned
into bottles. They pass through many
processes and tanner will spend a
week upon single skin before it Is
rendered water-tight and serviceable.
From Hebron these old bottles" are
sent to all parts OF the East, thou
sands going down into Egypt and the
Sudan every year. They are also used
as RATS. A number OF inflated skins
are attached to a light wooden frame,
which then not only readily floats, but
is capable of carrying quite heavy
load. Such RATS are to be seen on the
rivers of Syria and also ON the Flu.

The injurious action of coffee on the
