Around the Town.

Why do merchants, especially gro cers, cast trash and refuse of every description in front of the door on Saturdays, there stay until Monday? Is there no way to prevent it? If the street committee cannot get the labor to remove it before Sunday, it does seem that all good citizens would have sufficient pride to remove these un- slightly things, or not allow them to be put there, not only for the health and cleanliness of the town. but for the impression made on strangers and visitors.
 Is there no law to prevent splitting on the sidewalk? Tobacco juice and other disagreeable things sometimes flow freely. In most first-class towns and cities splitting on the pavement is not allowed. Let Forrest City fall in line
 Do the people realize the menace to health from this constant expectora tion on the sidewalks? We should be eager to keep our fine new sidewalks fresh and clean. Each person should feel it his or her duty to give strict attention to these things.
 We should aid the town council in their effort.
 Little can be accomplished without remuneration

The following, where a moral is garry shown, is taken from an fx- Ahge: Recently a church congrega- pn Tn little Kansas town built new afch' To pay for it they were ob- |ed to call on the merchants of the immunity for donations. The mer- ants responded literally, and $500 raised from this source. The last a asked to subscribe was John ulh' Jeweler. '.I will give you s20 you Will let me add something to the O'erlpton ist," he said. The per ssion was accorded him, and he wrote the foot of the list:

 Auact from address by Governor oi Missouri to a convention held p, alerson City, July IT, 1906:

 Potts Building ] am Still Buying PearIs.~

"lt is the department stores and the mall-order houses, which make profit from short-weight cans and under sized bottles. We are seeking to pro tect the legitimate grocer and the hon. est canner from men who are willing to make money by depriving people of things they think they are getting. All we urge is that an approximate weight may be put upon each one of these packages, and then, if the public chooses to buy smaller package at a smaller price, it may do so, but the manufacturers and dealers must not any longer deceive the people as to how much they are buying''

where organized philanthropy is carried
out on so excellent a scale, the Blue
Cross and it's methods are not better
known Many whom have met incline TO
think our organization a rival or an imi-
tation OF the Red Cross. AS red is the col
or of war, so blue Is the color OF inno-
cence. Hence the Blue Cross, which is
concerned only with the work OF rescuing
and caring for children who have been
orphans, abandoned by worthless parents
or who deserve TO be rescued from un-
happy surroundings
THE Blue Cross takes care OF children
from infancy to their twelfth year. In
Its benefactions IL makes no distinctions
OF creed race or nationality. Where there
are so many children In a family that the
parents are unable TO properly provide for
them we extend aid to the parents and
educate the children.
THE Blue Cross is unique among phil
anthropic organizations I'm that II carries
on its work OF benefcence without the
direct asking OF aims. or course. we re-
ceive many bequests and donations; for
