His beau ideal was D'Orsay. and he

widened toward the feet.

: BIBLE LANGUAGE.

A Revelation Of Perfection and Tsrse'
ness In spsseh.
A correspondent called attention the
other day to the language Of the Bible
in describing q windstorm, as an ex-
ample of concise speech, as follows:
"And the winds came from the four
corners Of the earth and fell upon the
house, and 1t was not" He mentioned
it as an evidence of the simplicity and
directness Of Bible language. And 1t
Is well to call attention to the words
and sentences Of this grand old book
from time to time, for In all literature
there is none other more beautiful OF
diction, more direct or even more po-
etical than these ancient writings
found in the Bible.
Take the opening sentence Of the
Bible as an illustration, I'm the be-
ginning God created the heavens and
the earth" That 10 the whole story

that is all there is to be said upon
the subject. A modern writer would
probably consume a dozen pages try
ing to tell when the creation took
place and then fail. But in this Won
derful old book we have it stated 50
any one can understand 1t, and in the
only way it could be properly stated
''in the beginning"
But one need not pick out isolated
sentences or chapters. The whole book
is a revelation of perfection in speech
The writings of Paul, for instance. can
be taken as examples of perfect die
ton. The description of the shipwreck
when he was making his way to
Rome will stand for all time as the
most thrilling narrative Of storm al
sea. His appeals to the members OF
the various congregations with whom
he corresponded may be accepted as
the best writings we have upon teach
ings Of the Nazarene. The poems OF
psalms of David, written hundreds OF
years prior to the time the New Testa
ment was written, are still the choicest
bits Of sentiment and imagination that
can be found, inspiring In their faith
and beauty and enchanting in theil
eloquence.-Dayton News.

BEAUTIFUL;
ORGANIZED TREE PLANTING
BEAUTIFIES A SMALL TOWN
How the Marvin e. d. Commercial
Club inausuratsd Movement.

Marvin, s. D., Is small town Of
some 300 people located In a prosper
GUS portion of the northeastern part
of the state, about 200 miles directly
west of Minneapolis, writes Herbert
J. Poppelman. secretary Of the Marvin
Commercial club, in the American City.
The town Is not organized (for local
reasons) and is governed by the town
ship organization, which has two men,
bers In the county and one in the
town.
The town obviously could not under
take to carry out such proposition 40
tree planting at the public expense.
but the Marvin Commercial club could.
This is live organization which de-
rives from club dues and the manage
ment of local dances and other public
entertainments small annual sum
which is used in public betterment.
Last winter some of the members pre-
sented the idea Of planting trees on
the streets Of the village. The matter
was thoroughly discussed and plans
were laid, and long before spring ar
rived the club had bargained for 200
ash, 200 elm and 200 box elder trees
from six to eight feet tall. Exception
ally low terms were quoted by the
nurseries, which were strongly In SYM
pathy with our good intentions.
Planting 600 trees Of that size Is no
small matter. Many members volun-
teered to plant twenty trees each. and
others made larger offers; but, feeling
assured that such plan would not
work out well, we hired two able men
to dig the holes. which were about
four feet in diameter and twenty -four
inches deep. Then we secured volun-
teers among the men who had had exr
perience in planting trees. each to give
day of his time. Other volunteer as
sistance was also accepted.
When the trees arrived local ArbOr
day was proclaimed. Organized squads
began the work. and by 5 o'clock Of
the second day all the trees were plant
ed. The ladies of the town gave the
workers good lunches in the middle Of
the morning and the middle Of the
afternoon, so that the hard work was
made pleasant. and all enjoyed the d.
version.
The summer was very favorable-a
little too wet for crops, but just right
for the new trees-and almost every
tree grew and flourished. Many Of
them now measure eleven feet In
height. The topography Of the town
site is rolling, and we placed the ash
and elms on the upper streets and the
box elders in the lower parts Of the
town. In the fall the trees were prop
erly mulched with old straw, etc.. and
there is every reason to anticipate
vigorous growth in the coming sum-
mer.
OF course in every community there
are few who will not assist in any
undertaking. Such people are known
the world over as local knockers
There were few of that kind in Mar
vim. and they almost succeeded in dis
couraging the lukewarm workers, but
the leaders went right ahead until
even the knockers were delighted to
see that their knocks availed nothing
We are now making plans to lay out
park and plant it this spring with
shade trees. This is a still larger un-
dertaking. but we believe we are big
enough for the job.

LONDON, March 14.-(Correspond.
ence !ot she Associated Press) Hard
MISUNDERSTANDING than the swift trans.
formation of England into powerful
military nation has been the silent
upheayel that has placed the civil work
and the Industries OF the workings in
the!S lands OF women. 1t has been es'
itimated from official figures that there
were fully 1000, 900 more women in ac'
tive employer March J. 1916, than on
the correspondent day twelve months
earlier. Moreover, the number is In
