THE RING. 



"The great American citizenship 

 who stay at home on election days 

 and then kick at the choice made at 

 the polls are duplicated by the bunch 

 in fraternal organizations who hug 

 the hot fire-place on cold nights and 

 growl at 'the ring ' " 



Did you ever stop to figure what 

 growl at 'the ring.' 



The men who do the work, who visit 

 the sick, who trot around town on 

 committees, who arrange the stunts 

 split your sides with 

 laughter, who dig down deep when oc- 

 casion demands it. and who always re- 

 for help, either 

 mental, physical or financial. 



That's the ring — more power to 



And if tl any actions of the 



ring you don't approve of, turn in and 



"jine 'em." You'll find it mighty 



in't shirk the hard work 



and slippery places. 



You're not tongue-tied, and you have 

 the privilege of howling, but unless 

 you're willing to get on the band 

 wagon and do your share of the push- 

 ing, don't yell at the ones who are." —

 tion and Sweet Pea Societies con- 

 sidered the question of a union meet- 

 ing and exhibition next year at De- 

 troit. It was a long and very lively

 uary tenth was finally chosen.

At the ladies' bowling match Thurs- 

 day forenoon Mrs. Frank Traendly 

 w-on the seventy-five dollar silver cup. 



TWO FINE GLADIOLUS NOVEL- 

 TIES. 



We have had the pleasure of test- 

 ing out the qualities of Frank Ban- 

 ning'* two gladiolus novelties, Niag- 

 ara and Panama. Niagara is a won- 

 illy lustrous white and canary 

 Mower, round as a lily, with a bit of 

 I, ink touching in the throat. It is a 

 good traveller and the Boston trade 

 like it. Panama is said to be a seed- 

 ling from America. It has much of 

 the character of its illustrious parent 

 but the color is clearer, more of the 

 pure, pleasing pink and less of the ma- 

 genta tint. 



The Lenox (Mass.) Horticultural So- 

 ciety has voted to omit its show of 

 annual and perennial flowers this year 

 on account of the unfavorable season.
