SAMUEL E. BOYS, Editor and Prop ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Entered as second class, matter January 14, 1911, at the post office at Plymouth, Indiana, under .the Act of March 3, 1879. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION One year Blx mouths..... two moutüs 11.50 .75 .25 The uacer will be continued unless ordered tipped, except where subscribers live ouWe tia county. Tbe date on the yellow slip is tne tl ae to which you have paid. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB The Plymouth Commercial Club is starting off right. It has gone about its organization in a deliberate, careful and business like way which will give it both the confidence of the public and a stability that means success. The committees named by the officers compose a list that will at once demand public confidence, and is at the same time a guarantee that what ever is undertaken will be accomplished. It is the plan not to jump eagerly at anything and everything without knowing just how to accomplish what is desirable, but to first ascertain the best methods now employed by the most successful clubs of the country and then adapt these to Plymouth. Such a plan is beyond question the one to follow and if wisely followed, there is no more doubt of success for the Plymouth Commercial Club than there is that any business house in the city will continue in business. Don't take off your hat and make yourself red in the face yelling for Plymouth and then sit down and do nothing for the city. Get in with the Commerial Club---get behind the wagen and PUSH---it is pushes, not yells nor hat flourishes, that will make the wagon go. Obiuary. William E. Mott was born in Elkhart Jan. 13, 1871, and departed this life at his home in Saginaw, Mich., on April 6, 1911, at the age of 40 years, 2 months and 23 days. Mr. Mott was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mott, who moved from Elkhart county to Saginaw when William was but nine months old. Here he grew to manhood and was a highly respected young man. He was united in marriage to Miss Laura McGowan at Elkhart, Ind., Jan. 1, 1903. To this union was born two sons; Master Edward, age six years, and little Walter, aged nineteen months. These two bright boys, with the mother, survive the father. Three months ago Mr. and Mrs. Mott came to this city and enjoyed a visit with Mrs. Mott's people and on returning home Mr. Mott was taken ill with Lagrippe from which he never recovered. On Monday, April 3rd, his brother-in-law, Ren Vangilder was called to his bedside and remained with him until he died. He was a member of the Ancient Order of Gleaners and Equitable Fraternal Union of Saginaw. These orders paid their tributes to the departed brother on Sunday. Monday the remains were brought to this city accompanied by the companion, children, Mr. Vangilder and Miss May Cook, of St. Charles, Mich., who is a very near friend of Mrs. Mott. The remains were taken to the home of Fred Appleman and Tuesday at 2:30 the funeral took place at the U. B. church, Rev. Upson and S. H. Yager officiating. The relatives present were Alton McGowan of Haris, John and Jessie McGowan of Barring, Ill., Rev. and Mrs. Ray Upson of Twelve Mile, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. L. Upson, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Beals, J. C. Shigles, Mrs. May Bidenkop, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Morischien, and Mr. and Mrs. T. Upson Jr., all of Elkhart. For Sale---Large lot with house and barn, 622 W. South street.

Steele is sent out by Annual Conference and has broad experience in the work. A good time is expected. Everybody invited. Symbolical Easter Plants SOME of the most remarkable plants in all the world are directly associated with Easter. Take the crucifixion plant for example. It is a species of euphorbia and grows in a very curious way, with no leaves worth mentioning save at the ends of its branches. All the rest of it is mainly thorns. In fact, according to popular belief, it is the plant from which the crown of thorns was made, which the Savior wore. Specimens of it are not often seen. One comes across it once in a while in botanical gardens in this country, where, in accordance with an old-time custom, it is made to grow in such ingenious fashion as to take the form of a thorny crown fastened upon a cross. The effect thus artistically produced, taken together with the naturally weird aspect of the plant, is most bizarre and striking. But the oddest thing of all about crucifixion plant, perhaps is that When cut with a knife, of a red juice resembling blood

exude from it. No wonder, then, that in the old world, where religion and superstition so frequently merge, this strange vegetable should be regarded with awe. The ignorant peasants, indeed, are fully persuaded that

the red juice is really blood, and to them it is an additional sign of the supernatural that the small pinkish flowers turn to a dark crimson as the season advances. Imagination wields a master brush and lays on the colors with a skill most deft for purposes of illusion. What a most wondrous flower it was that the Spanish priests first discovered in the primeval forests of South America, its lovely blooms hanging in rich festoons from the branches of the trees! No wonder that they called it the flower of the passion and saw in it a divinely exhibited token that all of the pagan Indians would be converted to Christianity. For did not the miraculous blossom contain within itself the whole of the sacred story of the Savior's sufferings? The Five Wounds. Another name they gave it was flower of the five wounds, and said (as one holy monk wrote in painstaking script) that it had "clearly been designed by the Creator that it might in due time assist in the conversion cf the unfortunate heathen." In further explanation of which a distinguished commentator, one Jacomo Bosio, remarked in a valuable work on America published in the year 1610: "The filaments above resemble a blood-colored fringe, as though suggesting the scourge with which our blessed Lord was tormented. The column of the flagellation rises in the middle. The three nails are above it. The crown of thorns encircles the column and close in the center of the flower from which the column rises is a portion of a yellow color, in which are five spots or stains of the hue of blood, evidently setting forth the five wounds received by the Savior on the cross. The crown itself is surrounded by a kind of skein, of a violet color, the strands of which number 72, answering to the number of thorns with which,, according to tradition, our Lord's crown was set. And the leaves of the plant, abundant and beautiful, are shaped like the head of a lance or pike---referring no doubt to the weapon that pierced the sides of the Savior---while they are marked beneath with round spots, signifying the 30 pieces of silver for which Judas sold him." Today this wonderful blossom is comparatively familiar and is known as the passion flower. Botanists call it Passiflora incarmata. While its peculiarities of structure are undeniably interesting, there is nothing about it that to the sane eye suggests the miraculous. Holy Ghost Orchid. The same observation does not apply, however to another plant, far more remarkable, which is even at the present day so great a rarity that probably there are not a dozen specimens of it in all the United States. Two of these are in the president's greenhouse at Washington. It will not survive unless kept in an extremely hot atmosphere laden with moisture---a fact from which it may be correctly inferred that this interesting vegetable species is a native of the torrid zone. Indeed, it grows nowhere except close to the equator, in wet and marshy places not far from sea level, where the humid air oppresses the traveler like so much almost unbreathable steam. Such Is the natural habitat of the Holy Ghost orchid, as the plant is called. It is a true orchid and, like many others of its botanical kind, grows in earth. Its flowers are developed in little groups of two or three on a vigorous green stem, and in each of them, when it is fully open, appears, sitting within the calyx of the snowy blossom, a little dove with half-spread wings. So perfectly is it formed that even the fleshy excres cence at the tep of the beak, characteristic of pigeons, is represented. It is, is fact, the most curious and wonderful of nature's imitations. "Lilies of the Field." It is wholly uncertain what flower Jesus had in mind when he spoke of the "lilies of the field," which---though they toiled not, neither did they spin---were adorned more beautifully than Solomon in all his glory. Certainly he was not speaking of any blossoms of the type now represented by what is called the Easter lily, because no such lilies were known in the Palestine of his day, all of them being of exclusively Eastern Asiatic origin. Of these lilies there are many varieties, as everybody knows, the finest of them all, and the one generally grown at the present time in the greenhouses of this country, being a native of Japan---the Lilium Harrisii. A similar lily, though of a different variety, is the Lilium candidum, or Madonna lily, which is so called because it is the flower that is supposed to have been presented to the virgin by the angel of the annunciation. One finds it thus depicted in one of the most famous paintings of Murillo. But, as above suggested, this lovely type of blossom was not known in Palestine 1900 years ago---a fact, however, which does by no means preclude the possibility that an angel might have obtained a bunch. Resurrection Plant. One of the most interesting of the vegetable species associated with Easter is the so-called resurrection plant, which is a kind of "tumble-weed," native to the region of the Dead sea. Some of its relatives, botanically speaking, are found in our own country and have similar habits. This tumble-weed during part of the year dries up and, detaching itself from the ground, assumes the form of a ball, seemingly dead---in which shape it rolls before the wind, scattering its seeds as it goes, to take root and grow into more tumble-weeds. Of all the many ingenious methods adopted by nature to accomplish the distribution of plants none is more odd than this. But when the tumbleweed, apparently defunct, is put into water, lo! it begins to sprout, and presently is as much alive as ever. Whence the popular name bestowed upon it.
