Social Reform In Small Towns.

- ~ AA ~
1t will be remembered that the infa-
nous Jukes family, a typical group of
degenerates, had their being in a rural
settlement not a hundred miles from
New York, and communities of much
the same order exist today within the
same radius of the metropolis, whole
groups of families where none of the
members is able to read or write and
whose morals are at the lowest ebb.
Here is a field white to the harvest"
for missionaries, social reformers and
settlement workers, and the call to serv-
Ice is loud and imperative. says Les
lies Weekly. What al be done at
nee to relieve the monOtony of village
life and to give the community a good
heave upward on the path of intellec-
tual progress? Much in many ways. if
only the half dozen active persons to
be found in every village will join
hands in the effort. Take a community
numbering from 500 to 800 souls. In
such n village there are certain to be
three or more churches, the pastors Of
which. after the fullest discharge Of
clerical duties, have some time on their
hands. Suppose they add to their
numbers the schoOlmaster, the leading
merchant and the justice of the peace.
A good working committee of six may
thus be had for social improvement.

Village Improvement Society Build
ing Up Geneva. Ill.
The improvement club of Geneva,
ILL.,, is an organization much to be con
graduated upon it's civic accomplish
ments since its inception twelve years
ago..
At first the object Of the association
was to clear from the streets the un-
slightly litter Of old tin cans and rub
bish which had accumulated for a long
time, to u down some dead trees and
to plant new ones.
One after another accomplishment
followed upon opportunity. says the
Brooklyn Citizen, and the results have
been a library started. a new station
house built, an unkempt cemetery put
in order, the schoolhouse repaired al 4

board.

inaugurated by Mrs. Julia Plat Har-
vey, but while they furnished part of
the necessary funds and applauded the
efforts they were satisfied that the wO
men could %profitably take the lead.
The money for the care of the streets
is raised by the usual methods of lawn
fetes and other entertainments.

Boards Of Trade.

A board of trade is a necessary ad.
junct to the welfare Of every commu
nifty. Its objects should be primarily
to foster present industries. develop 10.
cal resources. publish practical infor.
nation. solicit and encourage immigra-
ton. Investment and the establishment
of new manufactures and to secure to
the town and incidentally to its mem
bers the benefit of cooperation in the
furtherance of legitimate projects. Its
work is coextensive with the particu-
lar interests of the town in which it is
located. II should have a salutary ef-
feet upon municipal affairs if needs re-
Quired it and be at Oncc the recognized
factor capable of building. sustaining
and insuring to perpetuity the best in
terests of all the people.

Gr.at has been the growth of Hoppe
eton. ILL.,, where they have no saloons
and the municipal officers serve for the
muniticent salaries of 80 cents a year
for the mayor and - cents Il year for
the aldermen. The members Of the
council would serve for nothing. but
should they do so their acts, under the
laws of Illinois. would have no legal
force. They have. therefore, fixed the
salaries at as low Il figure as possible.
and when the end of the year comes
they either donate their warrants, ag-
gregatinS $50. to some poor widow or
to the free public library. or turn them
back into the city treasury.
This state of affairs was inaugurated
in the spring of 1877. when the munich
pality was changed from a village 10 a
city organization. and has been reli-
giOusly observed ever since. says the
New York Herald. In its early days
HOOpeston was organized as Il village,
and money was needed to make public
improvements. SO One of the village
boards concluded to license saloons. Il
fixed the license at $1,000 a year. Dur
ing six months of that year II man
paid his license and ran a saloon. and
another man paid for the privilege FOL
three months. SO that for a short time
the town had two saloons. These places
were just like other saloons In small
towns. Men who ought to have know
better spent money there that ought tt
have been used for the support of thelI
families. Boys took their first driif
and acquired habits which wrecked
their after lives. The regular habitues
got drunk and fought each other and
abused their wives and children. Occt
siOnally some n would become sufli
GENTLY intoxicated to lie down on
railroad track and get killed. and on
or two murders resulted from the 81
looms that had paid $3.50 into the vii
lage treasury for license to produc'
such results.

WHAT Is A -COLD7"

Professor Lollnberg. in the Vienna
In the head. says that the ordinary
cold is no individual complaint, but
only a collective name for Il large num-
Der of different complaints"
He continues, The attempt to dis
cover Il universal remedy against Il
cold is just as absurd as to search for
a generally etficacious remedy for
headache" The particular complaint
of which the cold is the symptom
can only be ascertained by careful eX-
animation Of the nasal cavities and
~neighboring parts" Hence sufferers
should be circumspect In the use Of
remedies.
The professor sa US only that which is
true, but of which the mass OK man
kind is ignorant. Colds are Of innu-
merable varieties, but the most CON-
mon one is that which is pcrsistently
misunderstood. 1t Is attributed to any
thing but the right cause, which is a

A TOWN.

Board Of Trade.
A town located not far from 81.
Louis has probably made greater gains
In wealth and population during the
past five years than any town Of its
size In Missouri. The reason is not far
to seek. The energetic people who
comprise it's inhabitants have neglected
no opportunity to further its prosperity
end have worked in unison to accom-
plish the desired end. They knew their
town was well located and possessed
many natural advantages and decided
to acQuaint the outside world with
these facts.
A wideawake board Of trade was or.
ganized, and the work of booming and
building up the town begun. Since then
the place has been transformed. Bet
ter schools have been built, the streets
are kept clean and In good repair, good
roads have been laid. and there are few
healthier or prettier towns In the coun.
try.
One Of the methods employed by this
towns board Of trade may be used in
any community with a certainty Of
good results. 1t is called the envelope
method. The board had envelopes
printed, on the back Of which the
points Of excellence Of the town were
advertised. These were furnished to
the business men, with their business
card added, at a merely nominal cost.
The scheme proved very successful and
brought business and desirable resi-
dents to the town.
A town may be well located and pos
sess valuable water power or other
commercial and manufacturing advan-
tages. but If these desirable conditions
are known only to the dwellers therein
they are not likely to be taken full ad.
vantage Of. So thought the board of
trade of this town, and with it to think
was to act, and to the ready wit and
energetic action of this organization is
due much Of the increase in population
and industry which has come to the
place.

Plan From the Beginning.

Remodeling a town is at the best ex-
pensive business. and as a consequence
the idea is gaining ground that a vii
lage ought to be tastefully planned
from the beginning with a view to its
beauty and the comfort of its inhab-
itants. Notable instances Of this can
be found in the suburbs of Chicago,
Tuxedo Park and Berkeley. Cal. Built
with a proper regard for beauty, these
villages provide open spaces dotted
with trees. and there is an air of repose
which does not suggest the growth of
4 day.

got together and decided to make a
see if they could eject a mayor and
board Of aldermen who would wipe out
the saloons. They asked Jacob s. Me
Ferren, the young president of the VII
lage bank, if he would undertake tie
task. He replied that he would and
said he would serve without salary in
order to help make up for b loss of
saloon licenses.
The number of inhabitants necessary
to organize as a city under the Illinois
law is 1000. Those who wanted a city
government were a little doubtful Of
the village having that number, and it
was whispered about that they waited
for election day to make the count.
They found the necessary number some
way or other and Immediately applied
for and received a charter authorizing
them to organize as a city, and the new
mayor and council were elected with
out serious opposition.
They went right to work and repealed
the saloon ordinances and fixed their
salaries at 81 for the two years term OF
the mayor and so cents for the two
years term of the aldermen. They
expended the meager Of the
little municipality with wisdom. al |
at the end of the first year they had

There are always certain citizens In
a town who begrudge paying out a cent
for improvement, ever where they are
to be directly benefited. but let half a
dozen start in to paint and fix up their
residences and the chances are that fif-
ty others will follow and thus work a
general improvement.

In almost every state in the Union
and in almost every town and village
there are laws and ordinances to pre-
vent live stock from running at large.
This being the case. there is no excuse
for maintaining fences on a resident
street. What is saved in their first cost

A certain town near New York could
sell 500 building sites to New Workers
and add thousands Of dollars to it's tax
roll if it would spend a few thousand
dollars for a good sewerage system.

Gently. The Short Line will
make considerable improvements
in their property here during the
next year. A new gas pipe fence
viii be built around the park in
