Civic Improvement.

Nenuuua Lehuer.
The Mexico Chapter OF the Daughters
Of the Revolution are considering some
method OF civic improvement in that
city. Just what form this will take
they will not decide until after con-
sultation with Mayor Graham and the
city board.
Throughout the country, In those
towns where women have taken the
lead In these matters, cleaner, health
Ter more beautiful cities have been
the inyariable result. II takes that
particular feminine touch to make the
Town Beautiful"
Men can manage the finance OF a
home but IL takes woman to keep I'M
maculate order, hang the pictures,
place the Morris chair where 1t looks
most inviting, and the costly vase
where 1t appears most artistic.
Men can pave the streets, place the
sewers, and put up handsome build
ings, but II they desire well kept
town 1t would be the BETTER part Of
discretion to turn the work over to
the ladies. They will see that the
paved streets are kept clean, sewers
flushed, walks kept repaired, unsigthly
places made slightly, treeps planted
and the parks made to blossom as the
rose. That struggling haphazard,
general appearance, that betokens In
efficient management, will disappear
and instead, there will be the neat,
trim, we'll ordered and beautiful city.
We wait with some impatience to see
the transformation that these Mexico
ladies will effect.

be taken toward organizing a Mis-
seuri River Transportation company,
with capital stock of not less than
5000, 900, fully paid, for the purpose of
building, operating and permanently
maintaining lire Of steel compart
ment, non-Sinkable freight boats to
ply between the Mississippi river and
Kansas City.
"Resolved, That 20 soliciting COM
mittees be appointed at once, charged
with the duty Of raising the required

THE Chilllcothe tMo) Constitution
referring TO Governor Jos. w Folks
advocacy for William Jennings Bryan
for President editorally says: III the
Bryan boom was conceived by some
Missouri Democrat with an idea OF
embarrassing Governor Folk, II has
failed signally OF that purpose. The
Governor has said all along that he is
not q candidate for any Office and when
he came out clear and strong
for Bryan for President at the state
convention showed the sincerity Of his
statement. Governor Folk Is not the
kind OF a man who seeks ofiice. He was
drafted for circuit attorney Of st
Louis against his will. He did
not consent to run for Governor Of
Missouri until the demand for him
grew so great that for him to have
refused would have worked dam
age to the party and to the state
No one doubts that with the splen-
did record he has made there are
higher honors awaiting him; that
he will again have to listen to the
call Of the country and take on
himself even more responsible Of
fetal duties than those which he is
now filling so capably. Whether
that higher plane OF service will
be In the White House or in the
United States Senate, time only
will tell. But that Joseph W.
Folks services to the country will
not cease with his term as Governor
Of Missouri seems very certain"

MUSIC A CANAL FACTOR.
Bosses Who are Capable of Leading a
Chorus Get the Best Results From
the Ditch Diggers.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Music is play
ing an important part in the digging
Of the Isthmian cannal. Laborers from
the West Indies are all accustomed to
sing as they work, and bosses who are
capable of leading a chorus have much
greater success than men who do not
have that faculty.
Reports that the commission has re-
celved from officials on the canal zone
indicate that one boss has developed
songs which have inspired content
ment and energy among his men,
with the result that he has out dis
tainted all rivals in the ammount OF
work accomplished. "Down Men,
Down." are the words for which this
music master has provided music that
delights the Jamaica heart. Other
bosses are using the traditional "Yo,
Heave, Ho."
Bosses who have been In the employ
Of fruit companies and other corpora
tions in the tropics have carried the
methods Of the West Indies to the is
thmus with excellant results and on
all the government work singing is be-
coming general.

Knocking a Knocker.

There seems to be two sides to the
fight on the mail order houses. The
Ada Star says:
1.-THE other day measly, penurious
old skinflint wrote us a note urging
us TO go after the mail order houses a
little bit stronger, saying that the
farmers were spending thousands Of
dollars annually with these cheap
john mail order concerns. This old
80 per cent credit system robber is a
merchant who seldom ever advertises
and never contributes dollar for a
public enterprise. He wrote the note
sent us, on a baking powder tablet
that is given with cheap alum bak-
ing powder he sells on credit to bis
customers. Ii we should call on him
for an ad he would likely say Il don't
believe in advertising. IL call upon
for a Subscription 10 a public enter.

anything Poor old varment, his su.
preme gall is all he can count on.
Whenever that fails him he will wither
and blow away. His measley carcass

Prosecuting Attorney Patterson has
declined to say anything concerning
the case since his return a few days
ago from Kansas City, where be had a
long interview with Attorney General
Hadley. 1t is believed, however, that
II is not bis intention to cause the ar
rest OF all the indicted mob leaders at
this time, especially should Judge
LINCOLN decline TO permit them tOgive
bond while held for murder In the first
degree. About all that is known con-
cerning the plans OF the prosecution
Is that the Prosecutor Patterson and
the assistant attorney general have
agreed what cases shall 20 to trial first.
All the cases which the authorities
elect to try will be set for the fourth
Monday In July, which is the opening
day of the regular term of criminal
court. Attorney General Hadley has
offered to come and personally lend
his assistance 10 the prosecution.
The arrest of Gooch and Galbraith
caused more or less talk In certain
circles. At the time the grand jury
concluded its labors and 1t became
known that big batch OF indict-
ments had been returned, threats
we're freely heard that when arrests
were made, an effort would be made to
liberate the persons taken into Gus.

THE Breeders Gazette referring to

Only few short weeks ago most OF

so that the attitude Of many farmers
brings vivldly to mind thestory OF the
old darkey, the roof OF whose house
leaked; when the weather was fair the
roof did not need patching. Most Of
OF the corn belt has been well dried
out lately and now the roads are the
finest In the world. We have had a
little rain within the past few days.
How many OF the farmers who be-
moaned the muddy, bottomless high

work their portions Of the roads and

water would be shed promptly and the
road dry out quickly. A split-log
drag is necessity on every farm. 1t
Is cheap, easily constructed aud it
requires only an hour or two for work
Ing the roads after the rain ceases.
Not In the whole catalogue OF the
farming art is there mention OF a use
