FOR THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL.
Missouri Women Begin Campaign
for Cleaner Cities and Villages
columbia Herald J

iiplullbld IltIhlu.I
The club women of Missouri have
taken up in earnest the campaign for
cleaner cities and towns. In st.
Joseph and other large towns organ
izations of women have done much to
promote Il general sentiment for clean
liness and are planning more. In Ma
con "A women's organization virtually
manages the street cleaning depart
ment. collects the money from mer-
chants, s~uperintends the work and
disburses the funds. The members of
the club at Trenton, a women'S club,
have started Il campaign that is being
watched with interest and initiated in
other towns. At the annual meeting
at the home of their president, Mrs.
T y. Witten. the club discussed plans
for the promotion of a 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 Lifef" One of
the plans decided upon was to offer
cash prizes to children in the various
wards Of Trenton for the best show
ings under prescribed conditions, in
the growing of flowers and care of
premises. Seeds for the competitors
are to be furnished practically free by
the club. The mayor was asked to
issue a proclamation for a neral
cleaning-up day, asking citizens to de-
vote a few hours systematically to dis
posinc of the accumulated rubbish.

territories. The country owes a debt
of gratitude to Senator Burroughs of
your State for his aid in preventing
that bill from passing the Senate.
1t seems incredible that these
things should be done by Congress.
but there are reasons for it.
In the first place the people at
large TAKE no interest in the preserva-
ton of their own property.
What is eyerybody's business is
nObody'S business
In the second place we have not
yet, as a people. risen far enough
above h mere worship of Mammon to
realize that we are deliberately sac
riticing to the Golden Calf the re-
sources without which we cannot ex-
list as a nation.
And worse than this, we are crowd
ing our working people, both native
and foreign born, into an environment
where congestion of population is de-
generating our workers and rotting
their physical and moral fibre.
Where will you find any citizenship
in the slum and tenement districts
of our cities to whom you Il effect
lively appeal for help to stop the waste
of Il forests? They know nothing
about it and care less. The first need
of any nation is an intelligent citizen
ship, and the slums and tenements of
Il great cities are maelstroms into
which the citizenship of the country
is being drawn to its destruction in Il
steadily increasing volume.
We are suffering just now from Il
spasm of national hysteria because
what everybody who ever took the
the revolving conditions under
which the great packers of Chicago
have been operating their plants, and
because diseased meat has been sold
for food.
But you may draw the worst pict-
ure hat your Imagination can paint
of the horrors of the Strengthening and
packing of meat in those establish
ments and nothing you can imagine
equals the horror of blighting the
lives of thousands of children who
are condemned to live and grow up in
the foul physical. social and moral
miasma that permeates the whole
Stun district of p~ackingtown. 1t is
Il national disgrace and is bound to

A HOmecrOH Garden.

The Homecroft Movement is q
ing in strength and many leading
newspapers are editorially advocating
the idea that every family, though
living in the city, ought to have "A
garden. A reader of MAXWEI =
IIOMEM AKER MAGAXI NE, in
Westbranch, Iowa, sends us the fol.
lowing editorial clipped from the Des
Moines Daily News, which is so fully
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, If properly cared
for, will save the city dweller many n
dollar.
But that is by no means the chiefest
| good. Even if 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.
An inner something impels IS TO put
our hands at work in the earth, 10
battle our bodies in the sunshine and
to open our souls in devotion to things
that are not gross, but sweet aud
pure.
To be pitied is q man who does
not drink in with delight t G fragrance
of the flowers after having breathed
all day the stencil of Il city, and who
does not learn II lesson from the noise
less, orderly, benelcent processes of
nature that are constantly golh6 on
around him.
Every city dwellcr who has 70 bit OF
ground ought to have Il garden
1t may he only five feet squire, Dut
he can plant it in lreen peas, sueeulent
onions. radishcs or lettuce, and still
find room for II flower or two To throw
Il little color and a little fragrance into
his life.
There are any reasons, e~conolilcai'
physical. esthetic and moral. why
every man should be his w gar
dener, if he can.
Thousands of dwellsrs in hotels.
flats and tenements cant be. Their
existence is as dull and cherries in
the season when all nature Is gay as
Is that of a bird that is Gagged.
They may laugh-and so does the
Gagged bird sing. But it is not true

PATRIOTISM IN TIME OF PEACE

NATIONAL PROBLEMS.

We Must Plant Forests. Organize
Better Schools, Make Homes For
Workers and Rear the Children
Close to Nature.-Menace of Great
Cities.
At the commencement exercises of
the Michigan Agricultural College on
June Goth. 1906, an address was de-
livered by George II. Maxwell, Dean
of the Homecrofters Gid of the Tails
nan 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
our 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.
In illustration of this he re-
ferred to our forest
The wasteful i~mprovidence 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
vies 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
most important Industries by the ex-
haustion of III supply of wood or
timber.
Destroy a city by bombardment or
fire and it IA be rebuilt in a few
years more beautiful than ever.
Destroy a forest on the plains and
it may take more than a generation
to restore it.
Destroy Il 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.
The destruction of the forest cover
leaves the mountain sides so exposed
to erosion that the rocks are washed

We believe that the Slums and

into the Commercial Maelstrom that
