The City Improvement Association

The city improvement association is
one of the movements throughout the
land that promises much for an advanc-
ed civilization. Our own city has
caught the enthusiasm and ladies from
all circles are uniting in this common
interest. This organization does not
propose to antagonize the city govern
ment but TO supplement it by creating
public sentiment that shall insist on in
creasing the good health and beauty of
the city. Cooperation is the word.
Every man, woman and child is invited
to aid by paying the membership fee of
% cents, attendance at meetings, sug-
gestions and especially by looking after
theta own premises. There has been no
flourish of trumpets but already much
work has been accomplished and plans
for future work make. Mrs. Langworthy
Taylor is president. Mrs. Coffroth secre-
tary. Mrs. Tate chairman OF committee
on streets and alleys is arranging for
receptacles for loose paper, banana peel
ings and all the things that make city
look unkept. Mrs. Nellie Richardson was
sent as visitor to Denver and reports
that the most aristocratic ladies are
seen to pick up these unsightly things
and place them in the receptacle. In
fact she could learn about the society
from almost any one. so well known is it.

More" echoed the junior.
More" said the sophomore.
More" the freshman.
The Worldly Junior had certain
means of learning everything about
everybody that were past finding out.
His was eminently Journalistic instinct.
He knew all that was going if it was
possible to know if. Even the echoes
of the faculty council chamber managed
TO reach his ears. The sages-that-sit-in

stinct served to catch their significance.

but what of it?"
There's this of it,, " said the cynical
senior dryly, IF the chancellor were to
ask me for advice I'd suggest that he
shed fewer tears over the modern an

study on it's political history. He
might find it interesting
