WINTER TRAVEL

Judging b. the amount Of adVertis-
ing done by hotels and railroads, an
enormous amount of vacation travel
has become customary at this time
OF year. Formerly most busine men
expected to grind through from Aug
ust to August without any break.
Their health has rgoWn tender Of re-

Hotel people are entering the bus
mess of entertaining company on
big scale. A place may be in the
heart Of the snow belt, but is free
ly advertises cold weather and all the
ice and snow sports as an attraction.
The Southern resorts are spending
millions on golf courses and motor
roads. The pullman cars are loaded
with dyspeptic and nervous million
aires.
For summer outing northern peo-
pie may settle down at some pictur-
esque shack a few miles from home
But their longing for winter sun
shine sends them acros wide spaces.

BUY AND KEEP BLOODED STOCK

Having heard from several farm-
ers that they had Holstein bull heif-
ers, grade heifers, seed corn and
other grams for sale we ran a lit
tie advertisement in the Wisconsin
Agriculturist. The result is We have
fifteen letters and cards asking for
these different crops and animals.
These letters will be turned over to
farmers that have what is wanted.
Get into the game. Let us know.what
you have to sell and what you want
to buy. Perhaps we can put you in
touch with just that man that you
can make a deal with.
Grade stock here in Wood county
that is selling at from fifty to sew
enty-fiVe dollars is selling in some
daily centers at one hundred to one
hundred and fifty dollars. Why? It
is not advertised enough. There is
not enough of it in any one commu-
nifty, so that buyers can come in
and get a carload.
There will be a Holstein sale in
the spring. Not one HoIstein heifer
should go out of the county. There
is room for all of them here and
lots more besides.
Let US build up the dairy indus
try in this county SO that buyers
who want carload lots will begin
to come here to get them.

AMUSEMENT HALL PROPERTY

The city Of Grand Rapids should
own the Amusement Hall property
and control its use. When rented for
private. purpose a proper charge. for
its use should be made. Our city has
no large building suitable for pub. &c
occasions and large assenblys. Il
the city owned this building they
could find many uses for II, and
when not in use by the city it could
be rented out By fixing it up in
some particulars it could be used
even for council meetings and all
city purposes. When not in use by
the city it could be rented out and
charge a reasonable fee for its use.
We have il upon good authority
that the stockholders want to dis
pose OF it and viii sell it to the
city.in preference. to anyone else. They
viii take less from the city if they
want 10 buy the property. The Off
GERS Of that company have inquiries
to purchase the property. Parties
want it for a wholesale liquor store,
others want it for various purposes
Our citizens can find no fault
with the stockholders if they sell
to private parties after giving the
city the first refusal to buy. There
may be an opening in our city for
Wholesale liquor store, but we
cannot see it that way, and further
We would rather see any other kind
Of business established here than a
liquor store or palm gardeni
We hope our business men will
see a way Tor the city of Grand
Rapids to secure said property for
public purposes.

THE GOSPEL HYMNS
AND FANNY CROSBY

The death of Fanny Crosby the
famous blind hymn writer best known
by her maiden name, has started
considerable speculation as to the
real causes for the wonderful popu-
larity of many of her 5000 hymns.
The critics have always passed a
rather negative verdict on the
m >rits Of these compositions. The
words are sweet, flowing, not very
imaginative, and without polished
graces. But they express real emo
ton in simple form. The great emo
tions of life, too, are simple and
elemental. In most peoples minds
they express themselves in plain Lam
guage.
Probably the oso-calIed "gospel
songs to which these verses were
set, had much to do with their popu-
larity. 1t is true that this music
had little OF what students would
call life and warmth and color. But
there was one thing they did have,
and that was rhythm.
The old fashioned church music
was stately, dignified, sedate and. re
served, but as sIeepy.as the country
church on a hot summer afternoon.
The gospel songs took the rhythm of
the marches and the waltzes and the
TWO steps, and applied it to church
music. Why should the devil haVe.a all
the good tunes, asked the writer OF
that day. Why indeed? Fanny Crosby
caught the step. In her easy lyri
cal way she wrote songs whose
thought not merely made the senti-
ment of daily life, but fitted metri
calIy to the beat of the music.
The songs had motion and march
feeling, and the words were sing,
able. No wonder they succeeded.
Modern church composers have
learned to write music combining the
dignity of old time music, the
rhythm of the gospel songs, and the
color, life and originality OF an i'm
aginative composition. But the many
people the Fanny Crosby songs are
so associated with the struggles o:
life and death and joy and sorrow
that the passing of the singer is
personal loss.

OLD CLOTHES

One of the most practical and cas-
TEST meuhoQS OF charity is the Juul-
cious Qlstrlbut OF CID clothes. hec-
oguizing the great value OF TINS as
set to the poor, a Bundle day plan
has just been organized in New
York City to collect and distribute
sy Systematically old and new clothing.
A great many people eVeryWhere.glVe
away old clothes, but often not with
Judgment.
IN many employments it is neces-
sary Tor a mans success that he be
well dressed. 1t may be illogical, but
shabby clothes hurt his business. Con
sequently he has half used suits and
oVercoats Tor distri button at regular
intervals. Being we'll made they have
a great deal of substantial wear.
Also his wife feels that her position
requires her to discard garments be
fore they are worm out.
he amount of clothing thus pass
ed on is big total, if used kindly
and beneyolently, it can keep agreat
many deserving people very comfort
able.
Some people sell it to Solomon IS
aacs, or other vender of castoffs who
makes a thrifty profit. The amount
that can be realized from second
hand dealers is never large. 1t
would seem that people might much
better make this little offering to
worthy charity by a direct gift.
1t is poor policy to hand.Out these
garments to the first blowsy tramp
who comes along. On the back. streets
of your own town there are always
people who have met misfortune, but
who have fought good fight with ad
verse circumstance. They are EMIT
led to the preference. Every fami
ly having clothes TO give away
should seek out a few or these
households, and make them regular
incipients of this inexpensive but
substantial booty.
