Here's some wholesome advice,
though it is not the product of our
"facile" pen: '"Stand .up for your
town ; give the town you live in your
best; give it the benefit of your experience in the way of improvement and
growth. If you don't like your town
clear out and let somebody else in.
Don't be afraid of every dollar you invest in the way of improvement, not a
ten cent piece is spent but there is
some good from it. Stand by all
things that tend to advance the general good, and bitterly stand against
all who run the town down. Stand
by your town and let the other fellow
sit on the cracker box and whittle, talk
and do nothing. Snch a fellow is no
good to himself or anybody else.

FLOWERS.
Beautify the School Grounds with Free
Flower Seeds.
To the Teachers and SchooL Officers
of Michigan:
In order to awaken an interest in
the beautifying of rural School grounds,
the State Agricultural College offers
to the first ten school districts in each
county that make application, a collection of flower seeds, to be planted
upon the school grounds and to be
cared for by the children.
They will be selected with reference
to their adaptabily for the. purpose
and will be accompanied by directions
for their planting and care.
We urge all persons interested in the
schools, or in the welfare of the Children to aid in instilling in the pupils a
love of flowers and regard for the appearance of the grounds about the
schoolhouses; as we believe that it will
not only aid in cultivating in them a
love for the beautiful, but io will be a
means, of interesting them in the
work of the schoolroom.
Applications should be made as
promptly as possible, as we cannot
promise to honor any received after
first of April. The seeds with full directions will be sent about April 15th
