DETROIT IS OUR TOWN
Detroit is you* town and my
town and is just the town we
make it; this h ory has been
froTd and retold lor years, but
holds good today the same as it
always done.
lJetroit is the best town its size
you will find anywhere and the
people of Detroit and trade terri-
tory has made it so, yet we can
make it still a better town by all
co-operating and each of us will
benefit by the making of it a bet-
ter town.
Detroit has the best school in
the section, however, we must
not stop or it will lose its value
Detroit churches are just the
churches its members make and
they are the kind you receive a
blessing from when you co-oper-
ate in the upbuilding and ongo-
ing of His Kingdom.
Detroit invites you through its
Chamber of Commerce to join
hands in buildings bigger and
better place to live. *

Ocean's Strangest Creature
The ocean harbors no ere mure more
strange and Interesting than the sea-
elephant Considering that the sea-
elephant ’ measures 21 to 22 feet in
length and from 15 to 18 feet around,
he Is actually bigger than our land
elephant.
The male has an extraordinary
snout, or trunk, 18 Inches from tip to
eye. When sleeping, tills snout rests
in a shapeless mass on the sand.
When the animal is crawling, the
snout Is flaccid and pendant. Often
the trunk will relax and 'fall into the
open mouth, or when the head is
turned up It may even fall back.
Despite t' e ungainly looks of these
animals, they are able to bob along
on u level surface as fast as a muu
ccn.walk. In the water they are very
active and agile. Diving in graceful
curves and nosing Into the crest of u
wave, they come up with their catch.

Beauty is the fragrance of life; It
yields an attraction apart from its
form, and glorifies the atmosphere of
Its being with an enrichment that
adds to the universal grace of good-
ness. Beauty Is truth, and truth Is
goodness. Give us the beauty of sim-

painful dissensions that characterize
nor relationships wonld cease, and the
vast and expensive machinery re-
quired to keep law and order might
