| was walking over a field today
and saw a sprig of green. An alfalfa
crown has budded and is pushing
into leaf, though the snow has not
all left us and winter ~tarries reluc-
TAM on its way.
A green leaf from out the cold
earth, yet it causes no surprise. So
accustomed have l become to the
yearly miracle of spring that should
be struck with wonder if no leaf ap-
peared.
But the resurrection of life from
the tomb of winter is unsearchable
and fraught with meaning, for life
has mysteries we may moi fathom,
and the expanding leaf echoes the
word of the angel to the grief
stricken, wondering women at the
tomb of the Lord.-"He is not
here; He is risen."
The leaf l saw lifts itself un-
troubled toward the sun, and the
next year and the next, whether war
still RACES or has ceased, other leaves
will do the same and grow in soften
ing benediction even over shell-torn
soil and graves newly made of brave
men destroyed in sacrifice for prin-
ciples of right.
Each spring is the Easter of the
year, bursting open the tomb of win
ter. Life is eternal. Mans warfare
is an obstruction but for the mo-
ment to the orderly processes of life,
and the Easter eason will continue
at e appointed time, the unfold.
ing leaves speaking the message of
Immortality.

Joy of Easter.

In the gray of the early morn
ing, while yet the city slept,
And only the old bell-ringer his
watch in the church-tower
kept,
On a sudden the chimes of
Easter fell like a silver rain,
And the rills of mellow music
Iaved weary heart and brain.
Awake, for the Lord is risenp'
they "The night is Ger"
From the graves of sin or sor-
row arise, rejoice, adore"

TRAFFIC BUREAU IS
 PLANNING CHANGES
Considering Proposition of Having Cars Stop at F'Ox's Theater Instead
 of at CroweIlS Corner.

The traffic bureau of the Cham Der of Commerce is considering reconr- mending a change in street car stops near CroWelPs drug store which might relieve the present congestion there. The plan which the bureau is consid- erng is to have the cars stop at Fox theater and from there make no other stops until they reach the center. This would leave the street clear near CrowelTs corner and City hall.
 At present when the trolley cars stop just around the corner from G'roweTl's, -automob piles or teams wish ing to go that way have to wait at corner. holding up all oTher re- hiCleS which wish to go in the direc- tion of Church street and shutting off all traffic. and should the Northend cars or cars which have to make the triangle be standing in the switch, ready to go toward the center, traffic would be brought to a complete stand still on every corner of the highway. Should a fire break out in West Main street, this congest ion might be the cause of tremendous damage, the traffic bureau thinks.
