to Prof. A. K. Chittenden, head of tbe j
school     of     forestry     at    M     A.    C.
The  available   reserve   of   blacfcnut,
Professor      Cbitte.deu     said,      was j
dangerously depleted during tbe war. j
"Black waluut is much used for air- i
plane parts,   for   guostocks,   and for
other military   purposes,"   explained
the W. A. O.  man.    "In consequence
black  walnut supplies   baye   run
*w.    Inasmuch as it requires a   long
for this timber to grow, immedi-
replanting    should    be    praticed
ver any black wa,nut   bas been
>e<»-©ved, as insurance for the future.
"abe nuts should be planted in the
tall or winter, when the soil begins to
rreeza. If planted too early the
•quiratiH are liable to dig them up.
It {.-lsii-eci in the late fall or early
winter, tbe freezing and thawing of
the soli will break tbe .walnut shells

AMENDMENT
Legislature  Almost Unanimously.
The national amendment, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors and which bad
been adopted ".by 15 States up to Jan.
1, 1918, is likely to receive the sanction of tbe requisite 36 states in the
early part of 1919, ss tbe legislature
•? many states meet this month.
Oar own legislature passed it almost
■nanimonsly, there being only two ot
three dissenting votes.
When Congress voted to submit the
matter tc the states, the opponents
a. tbe measure evidently seemed to
think that tbe seven year limit set for
its adoption might cause its defeat.
it does not seem now tbat any such
extended period is needed.

Geo. Benner Tuesday. Jan. "*.
Tliere was a good attendance.
Among those present was Mrs.
Frank Doherty ot Mackinaw Island
as visitor and former member. During the business meeting a new mem-
oer was added to the Club's list, Mrs.

review of the opera and illustratsd   it
I with records on   the   victmla   which
j of   high   merit,   and   enjoyed   by   all
j were present. The music from a good
i phonograph is   tbe   nearest   thing  to
j hearing the opera   itself.    Tbe   story
| of tbe Opera Lucia is taken  from   Sir
! Walter Scott's novel,    The Bride    of
' Lammermoor.    The records U9ed  bv
Mrs. Bicknell to illustrate   tbe Opera
were  as   follows:    1 be   opening   solo
supposed to be Lucy speaking was by
Tetrazzini.    Tbe sextette from Lucia,
said   to   be   tbe   most   dramatic   and
thrilling number in the entire   range
of Operas,  Sung by Caruso and other
Grand   Opera   Singers.    Tbe   Mad
scar.s   as  sung   by    Mme   Melba  and
last   the   dying   lament of   tbe   lover
Edgar at sang by Martinelii.

witb Galli C a r c i as tbe leading
prima doona. Galli Caret taking tbe
part of Lucy and in which Martinelii
took the part of Edgar. Mrs. Bicknell said tbat Galli Curci appeared
small on tbe stage. She enjoyed ber
wonderful voloe.
After an instructive discussion of
tbe Opera tbe ladies adjourned, being
pleased to bave bad one of their
numbers instruct tbem aboat tbe
Opera   she   had   heard   and   enjoyed.

The mind and heart which have led American
thought and action to higher and cleaner and stronger thing* for two decades are stilled. The voice lifted
throughout his lifetime in the call to national righteousness is lost iu the vast silent Jplaces to which" he
has gone. But the great words of his yrveat ideals will
live so long as the country he lived and served shall
live.
Theodore Roosevelt had achieved in large measure
the things which make life glorious to an American.
He had seen and had had a share in the building of
the great west. He had trampled down the forces of
evil in the city of his bii-th and restored to the city its
self-respect' He had served his country in the, senate and in the White House. And near the end he
had risked ail that he liad of reputation, all that he
had won of the affections of hit? countrymen, in stirring
the nation to its duty toward the word and humanity.
If our soldiers were given thn great j.riviiege of turning the tide in France, if our ideals are now impressing *
themselves upon all the earth, it is because Theodore
Roosevelt, by pen and voice, awakened u* and compelled us to look and to listen.
To Theodore Roosevelt had been given the great
gifts of vision and the genius of leadership. He used
them to the last day of his life to the everlasting good
of liis countrymen and his generation. Throughout
all his years he fought fearlessly for the right as he
saw it and strove tirelessly toward the light as it was
reveal-d to him. And the ultimate analysis of history will give him high place among the really great of
the earth.
God grant that his country may heed always the wisdom of Theodore Roosevelt. And God rest the great
soul He hits taken into his Tceeping.
