MERCY TO WILD FLOWERS

The Bloomington Art association
ate, its hike into the woods ca Sun.
day met and resolved to indorse the
platform OF the national and state as.
sociations which have for their object
the ending Of the destruction of wild
flower and plant life. This was sensi-
bic action to preserve for the future
the very beauties OF nature which the
members Of the club had enjoyed in
their afternoon stroll into The woods
and fields.
The conservation Of wild plant life
is one which is drawing increased at
tention in may quarters. In the past,
peoples OF the cities have tpo
thoughtlessly uprooted the flowers
and plants from which they have
desired only to take the Joy of a
moment in sprig or blossom. But the
uprooting process has made impos-
sible the same Joy to those who come
after. In fact, the wild flowers of
many sections have been almost to-
tally destroyed, if we are to believe
the reports of those who have inyesti-
gated the subject
Audubon societies have aroused
general interest in the preservation
Of the lives of Wild birds. 1t needs
similar agitation to prevent the des-
truction of the flowers Of the wood
lands. What would the woods be in
the springtime if the flowers were all
gone-the trilliums, the spiderwort,
the spring beauty, the bloodroot, the
SOlomOn's seal? Cultivated beauties
of the home garden cannot be SUD-
stituted for the wild charm of the
blossoms Of the forest and field, Many
of these will naturally disappear with
the advance of suburban encroach-
ment, but if needlessly torn up by
thoughless hands, or carelessly
trampled under foot, then will the
barren wastes be a mockery.-Bloom-
ington Paragraph.

BACK TO TOK

The pendulum of literary taste in
America seems to have reached the
Tx of indecency and is swinging back
to tok. For a year or SO among those
critics whose opinion largely governs
the fiction-buying American public
the word wholesome" has been used
as a term of reproach. Fiction, of
course engages the attention of a
large majority of book buyers, and
some OF the fiction of the past few
years has been about as bad as could
be, being pretty generally dirty, al
ways cynical and briny with the
pickle of soured souls. The stories
written by the temple Pharisees of
our literature seemed to assume that
America-which Heaven knows is far
from perfect-is jungle OF ignorance
meanness, and bOasting, and that IN
the Sodom and Comorrah Of sentimen-
tai hypocrisy there is never one
righteous man-neyer one soul that
is earnest, honest, wise and kind.
The signs now are changing. Books
are appearing and selling well which
are portraying decent communities,
and men and women following high
aspirations, even though they are not
realized. We are turning back from
the complex and sophisticated to the
simple and heroic in the characters
of our fiction, in the treatment of fic-
tion and in the selling of fiction.
And now that the tik of naturalism
has been reached, and we are swing.
ing back to the tok of realism, which
is idealism compounded with the
truth, we may expect next falls best
sellers to be better than fairly de-
cent. This change will be hard on
the children who have grown up to
expect liaison in every chapter and
nothing less than a fragrant adultery
al fresco in every climax. But father
and mother and Aunt Helen will begin
to read aloud again.-W. A. White in
Judge.

Tribute by DIR. Ladewig
Milwaukee, Wis.

Following an obituary notice in
your paper of recent date on the de-
parted Rev. II. Mueller, / feel it no
more than proper that / pay a little
homage to the memory OF my friend
and mention a few facts concerning
Rev. Mueller, the man.
To know Rev. Mueller well was
considered an honor by those who
did and a privilege to be intimately
associated in his family and counted
among his real friends. He was a
home-loving man-dear to his wife
and home. A smile and hearty hand
shake were never wanting and his
friends and Pensioners were always
welcome. Likewise a word of sympa-
thy to those in distress, sickness or
sadness, besides an encouraging
word or text from the Bible, uttered
by the departed, had its reward.
Those, who really knew Rev.
Mueller, viii recall what an ardent
lover of good music he was. Beethoven
was one of his favorite composers. It
is often said that music is the voice
of the soul" and I shall never forget
the many happy hours We had togeth-
er-Rev. Mueller playing the violin.
This trait or accomplishment, one
might almost say, was Unborn as his
father was an accomplished musician
playing not only the violin but the
piano and several other musical in
gt~uments, as well.
Besides this love Of music, the
departed minister was a great adj
mirer OF Gods works-nature He
enjoyed strolls in h country.
through the woods. along the rivers.
or he would stop and admire the many
beautiful flowers he would pass along
his way Fishing was one Of his
favorite pastimes, and even though
no nsh were caught, he totally en-
joyed the sport.
TO describe fully Rev. MGellar's
home life would be impossible as it
was all that a real Christian life
should be. His kindness Of heart
was shown daily by his work and
good deeds Throughout his life OF
So years His home. where he viii
be greatly missed. was very happy
one and always radiated sunshine.
Likewise he viii be missed by al
who knew him but his life and mem
