GONE TO WASHINGTON

Rev. w. Fl. Thurston, who has serv
ed in the capacity of president of
the Wisconsin Conference OF Seventh
Day Adventists for the past five
years, resigned as such at the close
of January. Some time last May his
family went west, seeking health.
They are much improyed.b but notable
to return to this cold climate, so
it has been considered best for him
to so West. He goes to the state
OF Washington TO take up work in
that state, and the man who had
the same line of work there has
been transferred to this state, and
he has arrived in Grand Rapids and
taken up his duties. Rev. Thurston
left Monday for ColIege Place, Wash.
The best wishes OF hosts OF friends
so with him to his new field of
labor. All who were acquainted with
the elder held him in the highest
esteem and we trust that some day
he may return again TO this state.

HOW ABOUT A
BALL TEAM

It's a Long Long Way to Base
Ball Day, but the local bugs are be-
ginning to have tanning bees. Moth
ing more has been heard OF the val
ley league that caused some talk
awhile ago. Grand Rapids is already
with a team-the team in fact is Or
ganized and as soon as the weather
warns up enough 50 the boys can
get the kinks out of their bodies, we
viii be ready to enter that valley
league and start cinching the flag.
The big city papers have 8 good
deal to say about base ball but it
is simply war talk. War talk. is. quite
the thing just now. We don't talk
war here in Grand Rapids-just think
what would happen if all the Ger
mans, Irish, Swedes, Norwegians.
English Scotch Houanders, Italians
Hebrews Greeks, Russians and the
rest of our population should set in
10 row about the big war of ma
tons in Europe. We wouldn't have
enough left after the scrap to orga-
nize a ball team and for that rea-
son We have refrained as good 10y
al Americans from indulging in war
talk.
Here is a little ditty which we
have set to the music of It's a
long, long way to Tipperary."
It's long time to April fourteenth,
It's a long time TO wait;
It's long time to April. fourteenth,
Which is baseballs op'ning date.
Farewell frost and snowballs,
Yo're no use-on the square;
We long for spring and sunshine,
For our hearts lie there.

Need County Police.

THE commission would suggest as
the best solution of the present diff
ficulties that the county board be
given authority to enact ordinances
providing for the creation of
county police department with full
power to arrest offenders against the
state automobile laws, and to carry
them before justice of the peace
or a magistrate. That the fines and
penalties collected from such offend
ers go far toward paying the court
fees and the expenses of maintain
ing the police force, and that any
balance remaining be expended upon
the maintenance of the roads of
the county. 1t is probable that the
counties at present have such po-
lice power, but the d fficuIty is that
upon arrest ard conviction the fine
goes into the general fund of the
state, and there is no way in which
the county may reimburse itself for
the expense of maintaining a police
force to prevent violations"

LICE FOk AU-
To SPEEDERS
The State Highway Commission
Thinks Evil Needs Immediate
Attention.

The state highway commission is
OUT after the automobile peeder.
The commission doesn't like the
fact that he ars over the country
roads at a rate Of speed which en-
dangers traffic, and it doesn't like
the manner in which the rapidly
driven machine tears up the high
way. 1t suggests a county police
force to solve the problem.
Present Laws Ineffective
1T has become apparent that the
present restrictions as to automobile
speeds and care in driving are alb
soIutely ineffective to control the
reckless use of automobiles by the
small minority of drivers who en-
danger not only themselves but also
the horse drawn traffic on roads, and
the great body of careful and con
siderate automobile drivers, says
the commissions report. with the
rapid construction of improved high
ways, and with the greater lengths
of improved surface, the difficulties
of successful maintenance have be
come very pronounced.
1T would seem that the more
roads there are improved, the higher
the speed requirements become. A
few of the automobiles who a
few years ago contemplated a "trip
between certain cities with fear and
trembling that they could not get
through at any rate of speed are
seemingly not content unless they
can now make an average speed OF
80 to 40 miles an hour between
them. The reckless disregard of all
rules of safety and of all considera-
ton for the road surface over which
they are travelling by some of the
automobile owning public demands
attention.

FRESH RHUBARB IN
THE WINTER TIME

II you have reasonably cool eel
lar, and a few more plants of rhu-
barb in your garden now than you
really need and want, something ex-
eeptionally nice next winter, Just try
forcing a couple or three strong
plants of rhubarb. 1t Is very sim :
pie process, needs no special atten-
ton and the plants will thrive in any
cool cellar. Just before the ground
freezes this fall, pillow or dig out a
few strong roots. let them freeze
solid after blowing out and then
place them on the cellar floor and
cover with sand, sawdust or ordi-
nary soil, water occasionally to keep
moist and in five or six weeks you
will be surprised at the rich crisp
crop of fine pink stalks you can
pull. A good strong plant will not
infrequently produce from 80 to 40
pounds during the winter.--W. S.

football, it must be admitted that
the State College of Washington is
just now receiving a lot of valuable
publicity as result of the splendid
record of it's football team this sea-

institution in all parts of the east
and the game with the Brown uni
versity eleven, scheduled at Pasa
dena, Cal, January /, will secure
many columns of publicity in all the
big daily papers of the United States.
People who never before heard of
the college will begin to make in
quiries about it, and when they do
they will find that it is worthy to
rank as the champion of the west,

plication of the new theory of COM

BOOKER It. WASHINGTON

BY the death of Booker T. Wash
ington, the United States has lost
one OF its most useful citizens. He
was a negro, but endowed with re-
markable courage and persistency,
and clear vision of the possibilities
and limitations of his race. In this
lay his strength. He brushed aside
all sentimental and high flown con-
ceptions of the destiny of the blacks,
and labored persistently along prac-
tical lines to teach them to compre-
mend and fit them to assume their
proper place in the social structure
OF the nation.
he was a pioneer in the move
ment toward industrial education,
and pointed the way to the solution
OF the yexed race problem. He used
his influence with the colored race
Tor their benefit, rather than for his
own, and devoted his life to develop
ing Tuskegee Institute, which will
stand as the most lasting monument
10 his memory.
He loved the south, where he was
porn, and proved the sincerity OF
mat love by his acts. He earned
and deserved the gratitude and ad-
mlration of his countrymen, be they
white or black.
