The club women of Missouri have
taken up in earnest the campaign fol

promote a general sentiment for clean

manages the street cleaning depart

chants, superintends the work and
disburses the funds. The members of
the club at Trenton, women's club,
have started a campaign that is being
watched with interest and initiated In
other towns. At the annual meeting
at the home of their president, Mrs.
T. N. Witten, the club discussed plans
for the promotion Of sentiment for
better care of lawns and gardens,
cleaner streets and alleys and general
improvements. The subject of the
opening paper Of the meeting, read by
Mrs. J. A. Asher, was this appropriate
one: "The Towns Opportunity-How
Can 1t Do More Than the City for a
Beautiful 'merican Life" One of
the plans decided upon was to offer
cash prizes to children in the various
wards of Trenton for the best. show.

HOMEMAKER MAGAZINE, in
Westbranch, Iowa, sends us the fol
lowing editorial clipped from the Des

in harmony with what this magazine
stands for that we take pleasure In
reproducing the same. The editor Of
the News says:
A little garden, IL properly cared
for, will save the city dweller many
dollar.
But that Is by no means the chiefest
good. Even IL he has more money
than he knows what to do with he
will still find rich profit in welding
the spade and hoe for exercise. And
the rarest pleasure comes from follow
ing the primal instincts Of nature.
1t is not alone the plants and flowers
we long for.

our hands at work In the earth, to
battle our bodies In the sunshine and
to open our souls In devotion to things
that are not gross, but sweet aud
pure.

Every city dweller who has Il bit Of
ground ought to have garden.

he can plant 1t in green peas. succulent
onions, radishes or lettuce, and still
find room for flower or two to throw

livered by George HI. Maxwell, Dean

man and Executive Chairman Of the
National Irrigation Association.
The keynote Of the address Of Mr..
Maxwell was the idea that we should
bring to the constructive work of
orr social and commercial life in time
Of peace the same fervent patriot
ism and devotion to the public serv-
ice that would inspire the whole ma
ton if we were in the throes of a
bloody conflict with the people of
some other country.

ferred to our forest resources,
The wasteful improvidence with
which we have swept the for
ests out of existence was contrasted
= with the elaborate care with which
we have built Notifications and ma
yjes and equipped our armies. And
vet, said Mr.. Maxwell. we have little
to fear from any foreign foe. But
we have much to fear from the
wreck and ruin that will inevitably
follow the destruction Of our forests.
Destroy the forests and over i'm
.mense areas flood and drouth will
destroy the farms.
Destroy the forests and you will at
the same time destroy many of our

lGustion of our supply Of wood or
timber.
Destroy a city by bombardment or
fire and it can be rebuilt in few
years more beautiful than ever.
Destroy forest on the plains and
it may take more than a generation
to restore it.
Destroy forest on the mountains,
where the soil is thin and poor. and
it may take centuries to restore the
forest if it can ever be done at all. |

We believe that the Patriotic Slogan
of the Whole People of this Nation
should be "Every Child in a Garden
Every Mother in Homecroft-and In
dividual Industrial Independence for
Every Worker in a Home of his Own
on the Land" and that until he owns
such Home, the concentrated purpose
and chief inspiration to labor in the life
Of every wage worker should be his
determination to Get an Acre AMI
Live on it,"
We believe that the Slums and
Tenements and Congested Centers Of
population in the Cities are savagely
deteriorating social, moral and polit-
ical influence; and that great public
movement should be organized, and
the whole power of the nation and
the states exerted for the betterment
Of all the conditions Of Rural Life, and
to create and upbuild Centers Of So
cial and Civic Life in Country and
Suburban Towns and Villages, where
Trade and Industry can be so firmly
anchored that they cannot be drawn
into the Commercial Maelstrom that
is now steadily sucking Industry and
Humanity into the Vortex Of the
Great Cities.
. We believe that every Citizen in
this Country has an inherent and
Fundamental Right to an Education
which will train him to Earn Liv-
ing, and, IL need be, to get his living
straight from Mother Earth; and that
he has the same right to the Opportun-
ity to have the Work to Do which will
afford him that living, and to earn not
only cor Portable livelihood, but
enough more to enable him to be a
Homecrofter and to have Home Of
his Own, with ground around 1t
sufficient to yield him and his family
"a Living from the Land as the reward
for his own labor.
We believe that the Public Domain
is the most precious heritage of the
people, and the surest safeguard the
nation has against Social Unrest Dis
turbance or Upheaval. and that the
Cause Of Humanity and the Preserva-
ton Of Social Stability and OF our Free
Institutions demand that the absorb
ton of the public lands into specula-
tive private ownership, without settle
ment, be forthwith stopped; and that
the nation should create opportunities
for Homecrofters by building irriga-
ton and drainage works to reclaim

This book Is the first of a Series
that will Chronicle the Progress Of the
HOMECROFT MOVEMENT
and inform all who wish to cooperate
with it how they may do so through
the formation Of local Homecrofters'
Circles, Clubs or Gilds to promote
Town and Village Betterment, stimu-
late home civic pride and loyalty to
home institutions, industries and trade,
improve methods and facilities of edu-
cation in the local public schools, and
create new opportunities "At Home
that will go far to check the drift Of
trade and population to the cities.
The first Gid of the Homecrofters
has been established at Watertown,
Massachusetts. The Gildhall, Shops
and Gardens are located at 143 Main
Street, where the Garden School is
now fully organized and over one
hundred children are at work in the
Gardens. The departments for train
ing in Homecraft and Village Indus
tries are being installed. The Viewers
are already at work at the looms.
1t is not designed to build here an
isolated institution. but to make
model which can be duplicated in any
town or village in the country.
