WOMEN CLEAN CITIES.

The Merchants Association Review
Of San Francisco made a statement as
to the cleaning up day" Of the city
5 ating that One-tenth Of the entire
population volunteered for cleaning on
March 3, and more dirt was scraped
together than $500 teams were able
to carry off, 1000 women were among
the workers, said the Review:
From early morning when the
bugIe sounded assembly, through the
day, the work never tagged an in
slant. Every cubic yard of dirt re-
moved meant the radiance Of a men
ace to health and comfort. And the
rubbish, which though gathered in or
derry piles, proved yet too much for
the hundreds of teams, was carried
away later by the city. The city or
dered also a thousand additional waste
cans for the sidewalks. The spirit,
the unity Of action was perhaps the
greatest success Of the day. Such
civic spirit cannot but command sue
cess in the rebuilding Of the city and
its constant progress. There was a
thrill Of satisfaction at duty done,
and work performed, that animated
the city from mansion to refugee
camp"
The cleaning done in various Texas
towns during the year is very great.
Twenty-six women's clubs have worked
in the school yards, cleaning and
beautfying, jutting up fences, seats,
drinking fountains, raising flags, lay
ing cement walks, setting out flowers:
one club bought go trees for the sew
eraI school yards. Seven clubs in as
many different towns worked for the
parks. some buying land. some plant
ing trees and some flowers. -Four
clubs in as many towns planted trees
and flowers in the grounds around the
public buiIdings-city hall or court
house. One club put up a bandstand
a a cost of 1920. One club main
tanned Fairgrounds, another collected
money. S110, for drinking fountains.
All these good things for the Texas
women: and the equally compliment
airy things that might have been said
for the club women Of other towns
are reported in Club Notes Of Cleve-

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.

Group Picture of MiIlers Brings Anx-
ious Inquiries.
"Mysterious Disappearance" is
headline that has become familiar az
an almost daily feature of the news
paper. The stories come from cities,
villages, and hamlets Of somebody's
dropping out of his home and naunts,
leaving no clew. The total Of the
years army of mysteriously disappear
ed is amazing-and no estimate can be.
made of those who are never again
heard of by friends or relatives.
A pathetic indication of the number
thus lost is occasionally afforded in
an unexpected way. One such indica-
ton is to be found today in a special
file of letters in the Offices of Wash
burn-Crosby company in Minneapolis,
A full page group picture of the force
of m Hers employed in making golC
medal flour was recently widely pub
ished. The picture shows hundreds Of
intelligent faces under clean white
caps-and is striking as an illustration
Of the representative type of American
Workingman.
A day or two later the picture APP
peared a letter came to the company
form a heart broken mother who
thought she had recognized her son
in the group. She said The boy had dis
appeared two years before, and that
the Illness was SO close that she was
almost certain it was he. With the
name she enclosed the picture en-
from the group and besought the com
pany to write whether or not he was
her son. 1t was another disappoint-
ment that the mail bore back TO her,
for the picture was at once recognized
as that of a well known young miller
Of another name and home.
But here was the remarkable thing,
Letter after letter followed, the
mothers from all parts of the United
States asking about this and that one
in the group, whom the writer's were
sure they recognized. 1t was evident
that that group of men-now familiar
everywhere as the millers that never
touch -four with their. hands-had
been studied with absorbing interest.
Happily all present in the picture
are easily accounted for-many hav-
ing been in the mills for years, and
all being men with the love Of home,
friends and settled interests that
marks the highest class of workmen.
But back of inquiries lies stories of
a hope and heartbreak, that would
make a book full Of human interest.

Popular Election of Senators


"The convention, by vote Of $3.50 to
14-more than seven to one voted
down the plank in favor Of the popular
election of United States senators. 1t
Is true that the president and Secretary
Taft have never advocated the popular
election of senators. They seem to take
the Hamiltonian rather than the Jeffer-
sonian view, but the most popular re-
form in the United States today is the
reform that has for It's object the cleo
ton of United States senator's by d.
rect vote. 1t has five times been in
dorsed by the national house of repre-
scntatives, three times when the house
of representatives was republican. 1t
has been Endorsed by nearly tWo-thirds
Of the states and there is probably not
a state in the union in which 1t would
not be indorsed at popular election,
and yet, in spite of the record made in
the house Of representatives and by the
various states, this reform is rejected
by seven to one vote in a republican
national convention.
Calls it "Standpat" Convention.
"Iere are seven propositions upon
which the republican party, in national
convention dSSeinpleu, mas islies1iSo
from the position taken by that party
in congress or from the position taken
by the president. What have Roose-
welt republicans to say? The president
has awakened a spirit of reform with
in his party He has at least revealed
to the world that there are reformers
in the republican party. Can that
spirit now be quelled by a standpat
convention? Millions of republicans
have enlisted at the presidents call to
arms and are ready to march forward.
Will they furl their banners and turn
back merely because the president
acquiesces in the sounding of the re-
treat %.

thing in the compensation line. When
he was escorting the gentlemen round

That same evening the gamekeeper
came upon two men in quiet lane en-

ing Of some money. One Of the men
had a shotgun, and, tapping 1t signif-
cantly, he said threateningly: "'Alf

stockers and Feeders.

In spite of9the lofty position of fat
steers. feeder buyers are very cautious
and refuse to pay high price even
for the best. They figure that corn
will be high for some time to come
and that the cost Of bringing a 1000
lb steer to marketable finish is too
great to warrant them paying an ex-
travagant price at the start.
Lately there have been more Of the
light grass steers offered and conse-
quently the range in prices Is getting
wider. Buyers from the country say
there is plenty Of pasture and the in
tention of many is to put their cattle
on grass as long as it lasts and then
market them.
