Some fifteen years ago posh and
Mrs. Clemens were college mates and
warm friends at Simpson college, In
dianola. Ia, and Dosh bought the gar
ter and gave it to Mrs. Clemens.
This was years before Clemens met
the lady upon the Pacific coast. where
she was visiting friends. but he has
never liked the donor of the garter
and has been insanely jeaious of DoSh.
Mrs. Clemens and Dosh have not met
for years. neither have they corre-
sponded. but this made no difference TO
Clemens. and he has brooded over the
garter and its frat buckle with the
engraved initials, and nothing that
Mrs. Clemens could say would cool his
anger.
So when Clemens met Dosh at the
capitol in Des Moines few days ago
and asked him, How about that gar

WHOLE TOWN BETTERMEsE.
Plea For Beautifyins Both Residence
and Business Sections.

! TICd DSaSehJ"S SSs'
and Business Sections.
W. C. Winsborough Of Kansas City,
Mo-. who is greatly interested In civic
Improvement does not believe that
Kansas City should stop at cleaning
up the downtown streets and beautify-
| ing the business section, but should ex-
tend it to the residential sections.
In stating his views to Kansas
City Star reporter he made the follow
ing good suggestions for improvement
of towns:
"The 300 block idea and the 1.100
| block crusade are fine attempts at
civic betterment and they should be
followed by similar efforts for bcautl-
flying the residence districts Of the
city. 4 clean downtown business dis
trict should 20 hand in hand with an
attractive collection Of homes in which
these business men and their families
live This hcau;ifyiEg idea should be-
cGne prevalent in Kansas City. as 1t
has in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Brook
I'm and other eastern cities. Several
years ago the Wolucn's auxiliary Of the
| manufacturers and Merchants assocla-
| ton took up the matter Of interesting
| Kansas City people in improving the
appearance Of their homes By the
] planting of flowers and the improving
of their lawns. Prizes were offered,
and the success Of the movement indi-
Gated the widespread interest taken in
it. With the abolition Of the auxiliary,
however, the movement died and no
one has started it again"
Mr. Winsborough was one Of the
leaders in the home improvement cru
sadie and Is still believer in its ben
etits, not only because Of the added at
tractiveness presented by the homes,
but as a good citizen maker and moral
agent.
"The planting of flowers and shrubs
is not alone an advantage to the house
holder because of the added beauty
they give to his property" he said,
"but it gives instruction to his growing
children. Every child is benefited by
q knowledge Of plant life. The city
children learn too little Of ordinary
botanical facts. BY the institution Of
such a movement these disadvantages
Of city life are removed. 1t could be
inaugurated with little trouble. and
/ once started it would spread Of itself.
No man will watch his neighbor beau
tifying and cleaning up his property
without trying to emulate him. The
city health and police departments
could greatly assist in the crusade by
compelling property owners to obey
the ordinance concerning cleanliness"

.FAVORS CONVICT
LEASE SYSTEM
Pres. Allen Does Not See
Why a Change.

Among those who are not III favor
of the abolition of the convict lease
system is President Lee Allen, of the
Board of Trade. He believes that the
best thing to do is to reform present
abuses and let the lease system con
tinue.
Il do not see why the states en-
ployes would be so much more humane
than those of the lessees. It's no
summer outing in any event, and
hold them in check.
Then what would we do for con-
victs to work on our roads? If all
the. convicts were kept on a prison
farm, the counties would have to get
along without them.
Some months ago | was member
of the grand jury committee which
visited the Sumter county camp. The
camp was managed as humanely as
possible.
Suppose the turpentine CAMP
saw mills and brick yards were de-
prived of convict labor. This would
make a draft on free labor which
would be hard on the farmers who
have a b1rd enough time getting help
as it is.
There are very serious doubts In
my mind if the prisoners would be
any better off on a farm than work
