Wanted-An Improvement
League.

s.lEl:2w Hl9w will the city look, about the
10Th OF June, next? Warren is usual
y rated as pretty town, but it
might be possible to add a few
charms to it's present pulchritude.
One of these days the board of
health will be out with notices to
clean up back yards and alleys, and
9 couple of days before the tourna-
hent dt comes there will be a gang of
Workmen put on to clean up the
streets down town and we will really
look nice, to strangers just stepping
OF the train; like the housewife who
hastily puts on a clean tucker when
called from her work to entertain
unexpected visitors.
. Mother Nature will also do a great
deal to improve the looks of things
by that time. Many heap Of rub
bish will be hidden by tall weeds
that should have been removed and
the space made use of or at least
kept clean.
1t will not answer to have only
the uptown portions spruced up for
the sake of putting up a good
'front.' the visitors will have to be
accommodated all over the city in
the matter of lodgings and they will
be confronted with view of the
town in all it's aspects. viii they
get the impression that Warren is
just what it wants to be taken for.
viz: neat, we'll regulated, trim lit
tie city, or shall they go away with
the opinion that the dirt and litter
has been tucked away just for the
time being?
1t may be a problem to decide
what to do in this matter. 1t seems
that the best we can do is to follow
the suggestions born of the expert
ence of other towns We often hear
of meetings being called, improve
ment leagues, or something similar,
being organized, committees appoint
ed, and lot of other things done tc
stimulate interest. Creating and
sustaining public opinion is the most
! important factor in matters of this
kind. Get the residents full of the
idea that they all want as clean
yards as their next door neighbor and
results will fol ow. Get up a little
sllfnnd to hire the boys to rake up anC
destroy the rubbish on vacant lots
that have no one caring for then
and to drop a few early flower SEEDS
in the bare spots; it will be a gooc
thing for the boys and better fol
the town. Have a committee ap
pointed to take up the question o.
sidewalk repair; there is lots of il
needed. A lot of good earnest dis
cussion is going to remind a lot O:
the folks that their premises can be
made an ornament to the town anC
a pleasure to themselves. If il
should be desirable to carry the mat
ter farther, it would be possible tt
arrange a contest to see who has the
most attractive yard at the time O.
the tournament.
The beauty of anything Of thi
kind is that the effect does not las
away in one season. Many who
might be induced to do something il
the way OF improvement for the frs
time this year would keep it up yea
after year. The cumulative effect i
worth striving for.
We have talked with several of ol
citizens about this matter and the,
would all be glad to see something
done.

Death Of Oscar Meisch.

Oscar Meisch, one of the promi-
nent early settlers of this county,
died at his home in town of Middle
River last Sunday morning, aged II
years. ..
Deceased was born in Germany
April IA, 1885, and emigrated to
America at the age TO 35 lears, arriv-
ing at Milwaukee, Wis, on April q,
1870. From there he moved to Eau
Claire, Wis.,, on Aug. 26, 1872, where
he lived until March 5, 1874, when
he removed to Baldwin, Wis.,. at
which place he continued to reside
until 1879, working at his trade as
shoemaker. Indoor work, however,
did not agree with him, and in order
to improve his health he decided to
change his occupation. Therefore,
in the spring of 1879 he made a trip
to the Red River valley to look over
the country with the idea of taking
up government land. He was pleased
with the valley and it's future pros
poets, and picked out for himself a
choice homestead in sec. -, town of
Middle River, and went back to
bring..his family here. They arrived
at Argyle, which at that time was
called Louisa, on the Goth day of
June 1879, and commenced to develop
the new farm. which by careful cul-
tivation land good management, he
made one Of the most valuable and
productive in the county. Adjoining
lands were added until it comprised
400 acres of as fine land as there is
in the valley. In 1898 Mr.. Meisch
retired from the active management
of the farm, that work then devoly
ing upon his sons, II. R. and William
Meisch. In 1895 he made a visit to
his old home in Germany. Mrs.
Meisch died June 6, 1908, hence was
not long survived by her husband,
who now has gone to join her on the
other shore. Deceased is mourned
more Immediately by three sons, and
one daughter, they being H. r.
Meisch, of town of Wanger, present
member of the board of county COM
missioners, VIM. Meisch. who lives
on the old homestead, o. r. Meisch,
and Mrs. G. A. Johnson, of Minot,
N. D. Besides these many other
relatives and friends mourn the de-
mise of a good old man, and a useful
citizen. -, - -
The funeral was held Tuesday un-
der the auspices of the Oddfellows
lodge at Argyle, and was largely at
tended. And thus another pioneer
who has nobly assisted in developing
our country. has gone to join the
great majority. Peace to his ashes.

When the Birds Go North Again

but Gay is always coming
When the birds 90 north again.
Oh, every heart hath it's sorrow,
And every heart hath it's pain,
But day is always coming
When the birds go north again.
-Ella Higginson.
The following oratorical gem is said
to have fallen from the lips Of Hon.
W. J. Bryan. 1t is not only a beaut-
iful word painting of Immortality,
but contains much good food for
thought: If the Father designs to
touch with divine power the cold
and pulseless heart of the buried
acorn and make it burst forth from
it's prison walls, will He leave neg
lected the soul of man, who was
made in the image of his creator?
If He 50 stoops to give to the rose
bush, whose withered blossoms float
upon the autumn breeze, the sweet
! assurance or anOther Sprlngtlme, WILL
he withhold the words of hope from
the souls of men when the ftosts of
winter come? If matter, mute and
inanimate, is changed by the force
of nature into multitude of forms
that never die, will the spirit of man
suffer annihilation after it has paid
brief visit like royal guest to this
tenement Of clay.'
One wiser than Bryan has said
"And whosoever liveth and be-
lieveth IN me shall never die," "Be
cause l live ye shall live also,' "Anc
Jesus said unto her, am the resur'
rection and the life: he that be.
lieveth in me, though he were dead
yet shall he live,'' Because I liv'
We shall live also.''

Chicago. Aug, 24.-Two hundred tel
ephone girls employed In the central
