CIVIC IMPROVEMENT SCHEME
Success Of spokane's Arbor and Clean.
ing Day Movement.


To clean up town and keep it in
good shape the following scheme, fol.
lowed for two seasons by Spokane,
Wash, has proved very beneficial to
that city and can be adopted In Il
measure by any town:
Forty thousand men, women and
children, including fourteen hundred
students in the high school. participant
ed this spring in the special arbor
and cleaning day movement originated
In Spokane year ago by the city
beautiful committee of the One Hun
drcd and Fifty Thousand club. says
the New York Tribune. Mayor Floyd
l.. Daggett proclaimed civic holi-
day, and from early morning until
the sun dipped behind the west
ern hills captains of financial, indus
trial and commercial institutions, min
Ing kings, lumber DaronS, professional
men and labOrerS worked side by side
In making Spokane as spick and span
as q new pin. How we'll they sue
ceeded was shown by the fact that
nearly every lawn was raked, the trees
and shrubhery were pruned, alleys
cleaned and vacant lots sown to grass
and flower seeds. The last named
work was given over to the children,
to whom were presented 10000 packets
of garden seeds by Mrs. Il. Well
Henry L. Iilienthal, formerly city
engineer, was marshal of the day and
had under his direction large number
of teams and vehicles lent by the cor
porations and private individuals,
which hauled refuse to the municipal
crematory and the dumps outside the
city limits. Tree prunlngs, leaves and
other debris were destroyed in bonfires
lighted in various parts of the city
under the direction Of the fire depart.
ment. The organization of the forces
was the work Of c. Herbert Moore,
chairman Of the city beautiful cou-
mittee, who was assisted by a vice
chairman In each ward, in each Of
which there was committee Of ten
residents. one representing each pre-
cinct. Every block in the precincts
was represented by captain, and In
this way every part Of the city, even
the outskirts, was looked after.
In addition to the general cleaning
work, patriotic and fraternal societies
planted trees in the various parks,
naming them in honor of the grand
and supreme officers Of the various
lodges. The WOOdmen Of the World
and their auxiliary, the Women Of the
Woodcraft, planted number of trees
near their bungalows at the Spokane
interstate fair grounds.
"People in Spokane displayed more
enthusiasm in the work this year than
they did year ago." Mr.. Moore said,
land we have reports to show that not
a single block in Spokane was neglect
ed. Everybody worked, and the man
with the hoe. rake and shovel was in
evidence from morning till nightfall,
the result being that the city was
beautiful and clean. 1t is proposed to
have this day set aside and to make II
a civic holiday every year"

What Governor Folk SAYS.

Governor Folks address to the re-
tail merchants of Missouri at their
convention was the feature of the ses-
sion. The governor said:
I'VE are proud Of our splendid
cities, and we want them to increase
in wealth and population and we also
want our country towns to grow. We
wish the city merchants to build up,
but we also desire the country mer-
chants to prosper. l do not believe in
the mail-order citizen. If a place is
good enough for a man to live in and
to make his money in, it is good
enough for him to spend his money
in.
mo merchant can succeed without
advertising in one way or another.
Patronize your town papers, build
them up and they will build the town
up and build you up increased trade
and greater opportunities. Do not be
afraid that business is going to be
hurt by the recent exposures OF
wrongdoing in the commercial world
No man who is doing an honest bust
ness can be injured by the light. AL
business will be better for the cleans
ing process it is going through and
for the stamping out Of evil"

Home Trading the Cheapest

Never send away for goods you
can buy at home. Every time you
send a dollar to a mail order house
that dollar, as far as you and your
community are concerned, is practic-
ally out of circulation. 70 lr home
merchant is the one who helpL to keep
up your schools, your churt hes and
your town. He is the one who de-
sreves your trade and not 8 me cat
alog house in Chicago.
Buying your goods away from home
you deal with strangers. Buy from
printed description. Send money in
advance. Wait for goods and fret. Pay
freight and charges. Complain OF
errors. Always pay full regular prices.
Support city stores. Always pay spot
cash in advance.
Buying here at home you-DeaI with
neighbors. Buy with goods before you
Pap when you get the goods. Work
and make money. Get goods delivered
free. Return goods if not right. Build
up your home store. Help build uI
your home town by spending you,
money at home. If YOU want a favor
you do not go to the city store to ash
for It.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1907-05-31
Anything to Get Trade.

In an attempt to divert suspicion
from himself the pickpocket joins in
the throng and calls stop, thief" as
loudly as any one. Look through the
mail order catalogues and you will
find that practically all of them will
tell you that they are the cheapest
place to buy, that they have the best
facilities. They will intimate that
the other fellow is the one to avoid
if you do not want to get skinned.
that it is the other fellow that handles
the trash.
When a dog bites you the first time,
blame the dog. If he bites you again,
blame yourself. If the mail order
house gets the best of you once, blame
them. If they do it again, blame
yourself for giving them the oppor.

If there is n logical reason why
you should patronize out of town mer.

why you should give your home mer.

What Mail Order Houses viii Not Do.

sites to whom life is only possible as
long as they "a suck blood out Of
the communities, to the upbuilding Of
which they contribute nothing. They
create no local market for. the pro-
ducts you have for sale. They have
no property in your county which can
be assessed to help bear your burden
of taxation.
Your local dealer needs neither ad.
vocate nor defense. His methods rest
upon principles that have built up in
this country a system of internal com.
merce which is the marvel and admir-
alton of the world. His business is
legitimate because its success contrib
utes to the general prosperity Of the
community that built it up.
Honestly, now, don't you really pat
yourself on the back when you spend
your money in such a way that In
supplying your own wants you help
build up the aneighborhood in which
you live? OF course you do, and you
act on that idea yourself. bat the
trouble is you don't talk it enough to
your friends. -
Stand by your local dealer as hs
stands by you with his time. his skin
and his money. He helps to build up
the community and he makes 1t Z

perity. He has no use for maverick
unbranded junk. He swears by the
goods branded with the trademark Of
the most skilled manufacturers on
earth-goods the like Of which no
other generation ever saw. and he has
an abiding faith in the theory that the
best vehicles in the world today are
none too good for that major general
Of all the industries-the American
citizen.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1907-05-31

Now. in all fair dealing, Is 1t right
to ask your local merchant to take
YOUR eggs, butter, beans and potatoes,
which are all perishable articles, IN eX-
change for his goods, then send your
cash Money out Of town to parties who
do not help to pay the taxes, or who
would not lend you a dollar or let you
have any goods if you did not have the
money to send?
do you always find our home mer-
chants ready and willing to let their
goods go on promises, not guaranteed
notes, but verbal promises, trusting to
your good luck in meeting the obliga-
ton?
How many farms have been paid
for by your merchants advancing both
the goods necessary to keep life in the
body and cash to meet that dreaded
interest op che mortgage?
asked some Of our merchants II
any of their customers ever asked
them to name quantity prices on goods,
and the reply was the same, that they
had no chance to figure. Is this fair?
Would you like it under the same
conditions? Would you trust your
merchant in the same way he trusts
YOU? 1 am afraid he would have a
Door show for a living If he had to be
trusted.
The most Of the goods l have seen
come from these houses could not be
sold by your merchant at prices those
houses get, simply for the reason that
o could compare the goods with
others of the same kind which were
much better for the price asked and
YOU Judgment would rather pay NOR
for an article you could e would
give you more value.
You will find your merchant read,
and willing to figure with you to-

The mail order business is the quack

at the Barcelona exhibition by having
three of her paintings given places Of

ed attention. They are Girl in Park"

was 'The Cup of Tea" This was select
ed for a full page illustration by the art
magazine Forma, in special number de-
voted to the exposition.
While the exposition was regarded as

ticular stress was laid on the number of
pictures shown and the many excellent
samples of the various modern schools.
Miss Cassatt's works were included
among the French impressionists. who
