The Advance Of the Park and Play
ground Movement.
When Honorable Charles W. Garfield
presented the city of Grand Rapids
with twenty five acres of valuable tand
for a play ground; it started ball roll
ing which increases in momentum as
the beneficial results Of play grounds
and breathing spaces become more ap
parent to the people.
DR.. William e. Upjohn of Kalama-
zoo, was in the city few weeks ago
and stated to few close personal
friends that he had acquired twenty
acres of land suitable for play ground
purposes In Kalamazoo, but when he
was shown the Garfield play ground he
went home determined to add to his
acreage to the extent of five or ten
acres. 1t is understood that he will
not only present this land to the city
for play ground purI oses but that he
will himself undertake the expense of
having it fully developed and beautified
by Ossian G. Simonds the famous land
scape architect of Chicago, who has &C
complishe1 30 many wonderful results
along this line that he enjoys an inter
national reputation.
Along a little different line is the
long cherished determination of E. X.
Warren, the Three Oaks featherbone
manufacturer, to present the State of
Michigan with 100 acres of land cover
ed with original timber near his home
town. He is undertaking to reach a
conclusion as to how he can best perpe
tuste this gift whether by turning it
over to the University or the Agricul'
tural College or to the Michigan Fores.
try Association. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Garfield advised him to handle it in
the same manner as the Grand Rapids
Park and Boulevard Association is
handling the splendid properties en-.
trusted to i0 care in this community

Something and Nothing

THE Republican party is the party
of Protectionism or it is nothing
Henry Watterson in the Louisville
Courier Journal.
There is much wisdom in the remark
1t would be equally true to say that the
Democratic party is the party of Free
Trade or it is nothing. But it may be
said, too, that the Democratic party can
continue to be the party of Free Trade
and still be nothing. That is exactly
what is going to happen next year.
Then. and we hope for many years
thereafter, the party of Free Trade will
be nothing, 80 far as its power to do
mischief to the country's prosperity is
concerned.-American Economist.

Emperor Is Expected TO Stir

SENDS MESSAGE TO POINCARE

Nicholas Position 10 Not Known
Great Stratesist.

Paris, Sept. S.--Emperor Nicholas,
the Great White Car Of all the Rus
slams" and more in the military sense,
as it appeals to his soldiers, the con-
secrated head of the church, is to
take personal command Of his armies
in the field.
This announcement was made in q
message to President Poincare from
the emperor himself
Whether he will succeed his cousin,
the Grand Duke Nicholas, is not made
clear in the communication, but that
the presence Of the car in the field
in his dual capacity as emperor and
vicar of the deity will stir the army
to new life is undoubted.
Grand Duke Stratesist.
In command of the Russian armies
since the beginning of the war Grand
Duke Nicholas has achieved fame,
and military critics not only of Rus
STA, but of other nations, have rated
him as one of the ablest generals Of
the warning nations. Although the
grand dukes armies have suffered a
long series of reverses since the be-
ginning of the great Austro-German
offensive movement, in May, their
leader has been credited with con.
spicuous strategic successes during
this period, as well as in the earlier
part Of the war, when he was leading
his armies forward VIGOROUSLY.
His main accomplishments were
the extrication of the bulk of his
forces from the Austro-German envel-
oping movements in Galicia, and later
in Russian Poland, when he again
drew out his armies, this time from
the dangerous Warsaw salient.
War Conduct Criticised.
During the last few weeks there
has been severe criticism of the con.
duct of the war by the Russian au.
thorities. The minister of war, Gen.
eral Soukhomlinoff, resigned and the
formation of a coalition government
has been under discussion. The source
of dissatisfaction, however, has been
principally the inadequate supply Of
munitions of war, and so far as the
cable dispatches from Russia have
shown there has been no criticism OF
the grand duke in this connection.

Get Busy At Once

This is the time to begin your
warfare against the fly, and pre-
cautions taken now are work all |
sorts of preventives later on
Every fly that you see buzzing
through your rooms and allow to
live may breed millions, each one
of which may in turn breed mil
lions more. Very often a house
wife will not take the bother to
chase a single fly, whereas if her
rooms were filled with any num-
Der of them she would start
clearance at once. If she could
only realize that the numbers
would never be there if she killed
the single one prhaps she would
exert herself more at the first
glimpse of the dreadful pest.
The spring of the year is the
breeding time for flies. In an
other month, for every single fly
that you allow to live today, you
will find hundreds of thousands.
Let that sink into your mind thor
oughly. That first fly you just
saw buzzing about in the sun
shine-look through and beyond
that single fly and see its thous-
ands and thousands of progeny.
Don't you think you will save time
and trouble later on by killing
that single fly now?
Swat the fly! Let this be your
slogan if you wish to keep your
household free of sickness and
disease this summer. Teach your
children to swat them, too; they
will do it gladly if you just arm
them each with a weapon which
looks very much like miniature
tennis racket made out of flexible
wire, and turn them loose in the
rooms. They will make a game
of it, and will clear up all the
flies in sight.
1t is much easier to rid your
home of flies now than later on,
for you will only have one or two
now. But go at them vigorously
and eliminate them entirely now
If you are apt to be careless about
them now, why, look around your
family and think Of the hundreds
; Of forms of death lurking in one
fly and of the danger to those
= dearest to you. If you would not
, bestir yourself to wage this just
: warfare for your own sake, al
least do it for the sake of youl
families, and do it now.
