FRANK {. HOWE. Editor and PubIishs
A Good Man For n Town

Ia a number Of Western iosns pub
lie spirited individuals vii during The
early autumn auard prizes for excel
lcpoc m things that make The munich
pal Improvement Ia two cities these
rewards wiil bs given 10 those families
whose lawns have been selected by
Judges ~ the most attractive In The
community. Tho published lie, OF
prizes restricted the contestants 10
those owning homes OF moderate value
-approIimsiing 5000. There were
further requirements regarding the
hiring Of workers, but generally the
means we're not considered; results
only we're asked. IL cost the donor In
one instance sl0O; In the other 600.
Then there are awards elsewhere 70
the boys and girls who maintain the
handsomcst flower beds and who pos
sess the best tended garden patch.
The effect u such efforts TO secure
interest 10 the identifying OF homes Is
visible In many ways. In one town
over one hundred lawns were Judged
by a committee consisting OF the edi.
tpr OF the daily paper. tninister and
a florist, and 80 excellent were the
greater portion that a long list OF
honorary mentions was necessary.
"Even where no attempt was made TO
compete for prize" says one OF the
committee members, "a distinct inhu-
ence was visable, the example OF
neighbors' lawns being unconsciously
felt in arrangement and care Of lowers
and shubbery. The value OF the prizes
was gained many times over by the
people Of the city and the effect will by
no means pass away with the end OF
the season.
One OF the fayorite phrases OF grow
ingcitie adjures all to make this
good town to live in." A capital
method of doing 1t is to acquire good
men for the town-such as those who,
in the instances mentioned, encouraged
the fairer side OF municipallife. Those
who will unselfshly do this serve their
| fellows in distinct measure and deserve
much encouragement. 1t Is one thing
to devote money to the Improvement
/ of ones own lawn frontage or TO ones
own block; it Is quite another to give
it to the day laborer over In the flats
because he succeeded in raising q
pretty bed of pansies. Yet the effect
on the community is greater in the lat
ter case than in the former, as II IS
likewise greater on the donor. 1t is
not only one bed OF pansies th at is Sc
cured; all over the towns are beds OF
posies to delight the passer.by and to
uplift the professor.
The "good man for town" is not
necessarily the one who gives a mas.
sive library building or funds for new
college; such donations sometimes be-
come burdens in no slight degree. he
who does what he can to foster q spirit
of municipal pride, who inaugurates q
healthy rivalry In making the city or
village attractive or who adds to the
good feeling citizens naturally have
for their home town, accomplishes
much-oftentimes more than the giver
of greater gifts, II requires fortunes
to establish libraries and found
schools or colleges; 1T requires only
modest donations 20 start movement
in favor of better place In which to
reside.

TRADE is BEING RUINED.
Merchants in China Now Rcgretting
American Boycott.

The United States representative at
| Shanghai. Consul General Rodgers, has
informed the State Department that the
| Chinese Chamber Of Commerce at Shang-
hal deprccatcs the continuance of the
boycott in China against American
goods, which the merchants say is at
tributable in large part to the students.
They claim that their business is serious
ly affected as result. The news is re-
garded in Washington as being very
significant.
The boycott was first instituted at
Shanghai. and singularly enough by the
very Chamber of Commerce which is now
So anxious to terminate it.
According to reports 10 the Stale De
partment. the agitation extended as far
south rs the Straits Settlements, where
the import business is largely controlled
by Chinese merchants. and Consul Cen
eral Wilber stated that the Shanghai
boycott. as proclaimed by the Chamber
of Commerce. has been adopted by the
chamber at Singapore.
From Mr. Rodgers report it is in
ferred that the merchants who started
the boycott have found themselves heavy
losers in trade as II result and are desir-
Gus of removing it. The department also
has been Informed that Minister Rock
hill has secured the aid of the Chinese
government IN sioruin.; the anti-Ameri-
can movement.

FEWER BABIES BEING BORN.
Census Bulletin Shows Steady DecIin,
in Bir: his Since 1850.


There has been a persistent decline of
the birth rate in the United States since
1850. according to bulletin issued by
the census bureau. The bulletin was pre-
pared by Prof. Walter +. Wilcox of Cor
nell university.
The bulletin shows that at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century the
children under 10 years of age consti-
tuted one-third and at the end less than
one-fourth of the total population. The
decrease in this proportion began as
early as the decade 1910 to 1920, and
continued uninterruptedly, though at
varying rates, in each successive decade.
Between 1850 and 1850 the proportion
of children to women between 10 and 40
years, the child bearing age, increased,
but since 1860 it has decreased constant
ly. In 1860 the number of children un-
der 5 years of age to 1000 women
was 634; in 1900 it was only 474.
Considered sectionally it is found that
in the north and west there has been a
more or less regular decline, while in
the south the change has been less regu-
lar and the decline less marked. In
1900 the smallest proportion of children
was in the District Of Columbia. The
next smallest proportion was Massachu-
sets. The largest proportion was in
North Dakota and Indian Territory.
In the general decrease between 1890
and 1900 not a single State Of the north
Atlantic division took part. In seven
other States, also, there was no de-
crease. In only six States-Illinois,
Maryland. Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky
and Iudiana-did the proportion decrease
in each of the five decades.
In 1900, for the United States as
whole, the proportion Of children was
only two-thirds as great in cities as in
the country districts. In the north At
lantic division, however, it was almost
as great in the cities as in the country.
In the southern division it is hardly
more than half as large in the cities as in
the country, while in the far west the
difference is intermediate in amount.
A comparison is made between the
proportion Of children born of native
mothers and the proportion of children
born of foreign born mothers In 1900
the former proportion was 49,. the latter
-110, the difference indicating the great
er fecundity of foreign born women.
There has been uniformly larger
proportion of negro children than of
white children. That difference more
than doubled between 1860 and 1880,
but in 1900 it was less than half what
it was In 1880 and less than at any other
census except in 1860.
