The general appearance of plants

Lawns are the foundation of ali

WHY The She
B0YGAN BAND?

The Wisconsin Panama EXP osition
commission has engaged the She
boygan concert band to represent
this state Al the Panama Exposition
on Wisconsin Day, May %.
With four or five first class mill
tary bands serving the National
Guard, why was civilian band sele-
cted? The Sheboygac Band is aeon
paratiYely new organization and is
a good band, but We have Military
Bands, especially in the First and
Second Infantry regiments that are
Just as good and even better. Grand
Rapids people would naturally like
TO see the Second Infantry band go
to the exposition We are proud OF
the Margh1eld Military band and a
protest should be sent to our as
semblymen regarding this matter OF
sending the Sheboygan band.
To those who have served in the
National Guard either as musicians
or in other capacities, the large
amount of time given to these du
ties is well known and it does moi
seem fair that when there is an hon
or this kind to be bestowed on
Wise onsin band that a civilian banc
should be chosen. The amount of re
hearsing necessary and according t.
the regulations, the appearance a
inspections and at camp, mean
great deal of time given to these du
ties and it often happens that thu
citizen soldier, be he a bandsmal
or a man who carries a gun or sWor
is put to a great deal of inconTen
fence because of the necessity o
attending to these duties. When mel
have given years to the study ant
work of the National Guard
seems that they should be the one
honored and selected to represen
the state on an occasion of thi
i, kind.

GAME DESTRUCTION

There are 100000 hunters n the
United States. This rather astonish-
ing statement was made the past
elk to the national conference on
American game breeding and preserv,
ing held at New York. 1t is no.won-
der that game is extinct n so arge
a part of the country.
1t has sometimes been. thought that
strict game laws are not democratic.
Every farmers boy cherishes the
privilege of getting out with his
gun. A hunters license law, with a
small fee looks aristocratic to the
farmer, creating a privileged class.
But the result of free game shooting
appears at the present time. Most
men, to get a good bag have to
travel many miles and run up an ex-
pense bin of railroad fares and no
tel charges. That is not a democra-
tic condition of things.
This country was originally rich
with all kinds of wild game. Ey-
cry variety had its value Most of
them added each an element of beau
", color, and life to the woods. The
majority were useful as food for the
human race. Then comes man, blaz-
ing away regardless of times and
seasons. Today many of our finest
varieties are extinct or practically so,
Man is a spendthTift and a wastrel,
who pOIlutes his rivers burns up
his forests, and destroys the wild
life that might serve and cheer
him When game was abundant hunt
ers were satisfied to get out after
the real vermin of the woods, the
varieties that are destructive. But
ii foxes and racoons are exterminated
in a given section today, the more
ignorant hunters at least will get
out after the song birds that protect
the farmers crops from insects.
The delegates who gathered to
the conference above referred to
should do something more than pass
resolutions they should appoint
themselves a national committee to
work in every state for strict game
laws, strict enforcement of them,
and for the propagation of many of
the fine spciees OF wild life that
have been wiped out.

LIKE 4 MIGHTY
ARMY MOVES THE
CHURCH Of GOD

Written Especially for The Reporter
by am Eastern Divine.
In these times almost every one
believes in the church; it has the
general approval of men mall walks
of life; they feel it is a communi-
ty advantage as well as a moral nee
essity.
Believing in the church, many OF
them fail to appreciate what they
might do to strengthen and help. the
work of the church.
Effective organization comes only
through sympathetic and helpful
relations expressed in both word
and deed.
We speak of the church as being
like a mighty army" but it is an
army organized for promotion Of the
principles OF peace.
No army ever advanced very far or
obtained any very marked victories
unless composed of willing partici-
pants.
The private who failed in a given
responsibility would be court-mar-
tailed; am officer who failed.in per-
forlnance of duty would be degraded
and disgraced. The best soldiers adj
vance with a song of Joy.
insofar as the church is an eff
cient organization it is like a
mighty army; when its members. lack
the capacity for willing service, it
fails of it's opportunity, falls short of
it's duty.
Every organization must have lead
ers but every effective. working d, orce
must have strong, willing, hearty CO.
operation through and through.
The victories for peace will come
when the forces OF the church under
stand fully their duty, and respond
cheerfully to the call.
The Church of God has in its pow
er the creation of sentiment which
viii be priceless, uplifting, moraliz-
ing and Outstanding.
In how far are you helping to
make this great result?
Throughout the country countless
thousands of men are meeting from
Sabbath to Sabbath in Bible study
classes, under capable teachers, study
ing the Word; is this with an OBJ
ject Of being helpers?
All over the land Congregations are
assembling in splendid houses of
Worship, for participati in the. Ser
vices OF the hour; is this merely
for their personal pleasure, or are
they willing and anxious to put the
shoulder to the wheel all through
the work?
No church is doing it's most eff
cient service which is not filled. each
Sunday to its capacity, and daily
spreading the Gospel to many peo-
pie
Uplifting thought is very essential
but lacks in it's far reaching influ-
ence if the listeners ears be not
willing ears, and the hearts into
which the word falls, doing hearts.
Like a mighty army they must
move with accord, with purpose, with
good will and determination. Are you
enlisted as a Volunteer?
From child thou hast known
the Holy Scriptures, which are able
to make thee wise unto Salvation
through Faith"
