MILITARY NOTES. T he College battalion took part in the Decoration D ay exercises in Lansing, and as was the case last year, attracted a great deal of atten tion. T he street cars delayed the battalion an hour and a half and consequently the drill on the Capitol grounds was somewhat shortened. T he battalion, after considerable waiting at the campus station, began the march to the city but the cars came along and were boarded this side the " W h i te Elephant." In Lansing t he battalion marched south on Washington avenue where brief platoon drill took place. T he march avenue on Washington stopped this side the Grand T r u nk depot, and returning to the Capitol lawn, the battalion executed some movements before a large and inter ested audience. T h e re were but three or four ab sences from the battalion and the full turnout, clean guns, accoutre ments and uniforms created a very satisfying impression. In the competitive drill yesterday evening Captain H. D. F a r go of Company A won the Captain's medal and M r. W. S. Minck of Company C the sergeant's medal. judges were Col. Shubel and T he Captain Durst of Lansing. T he drill was the best of the season. PROGRAM-STATE HORTI CULTURAL SOCIETY.

We had the privilege of hearing Saturday evening the program of the P hi Delta Literary Society, the chief feature of which program was a talk on Roumania—its history and development, illustrated by maps, and given by M r. H e n ry Geller. Prof. C. D. Smith was present and at the close of the interesting liter ary program gave one of his char acteristic speeches. T he country of Roumania has been the battleground for many centuries of the T u r ks and the R u s sians. But through all the years the patriotic and national spirit of the Roumanians has never died out. T he Crimean war was an event in history instrumental in leading to the independence of Roumania.

Accordingly, when this station has gone off its home grounds it has been for a particular purpose and for the reason that favorable conditions did not exist at the station. It has therefore chosen a particular spot for a par ticular purpose, and logical corollarly of this principle is that it should choose the spot or spots best adapted to the desired end, obtain control of the situation, retain it so long as then abandon it.

After Miss Bach's recital the auction sale of home-made candy took place. Miss Gertrude Peters proved a very energetic and effective auctioneer and the boxes of candy sold well, the prices per box ranging from 15 cents to 60 cents. A cake made by one of the bachelor instructors also brought a fancy price. About $15 was cleared by the Y. W. C.
