Canine opposers of Civic Improvement

Canine Opposers of Civic Improvement
Dogs are one of the biggest ObSta-
Giles in the way of civic Improvement.
How can lawns be kept beautiful when
a dozen dogs are running at large over
them. scratching up grass and flow
ers?' said Councilman Belleville Of
Evansville, Ind. Councilman Belle
vile holds opinions similar to those Of
Police Chief Fred II. Brennecke on the
subject of dogs He thinks they ought
to be kept at home. He has twice
tried to have a more strict dog ordi-
nance passed by the city council. Il
believe, too, that dogs ought to be
taxed on their value" said Mr.. Belle
vile. Each dog owner should be re-
quired to place q value on his dog as
on other property which he owns. He
should then be taxed according to the
dogs value. l am trying to keep my
lawn attractive, but there are thirteen
dogs on the block where | live"

1T PAYS TO BE GRACIOUS.
Isolated Merchant Gains Customers by
Practicing> PoIiteness.

81 have often wondered" said a man
who rambleS all over New York look
ing for bargains, chow the small mer-
chants in the streets off Broadway
and out of the retail districts uptown
manage to make their living. | know
something about it now.
about a year ago l went into a lit
tie store in Greenwich street to buy an
article that cost me II cents when [
finally got it. The first time l made
my want known the merchant said
that he had never kept the article, al
though it was in his line. He thanked
me for calling his attention to it. He
supposed that would not do me any
good, but he would get it, for the
chances were that some one else would
ask for it.
81 did not call again for several days,
and when l did l went out of my way
ten blocks. He knew me as soon as
entered his store. He said he ordered
the article and expected it any day.
He asked me to leave my address, say
ing that he would send the article as
soon as he received it.
81 went into his place several days
after, still going out of my way in do
ing so. The article was ready.
What was the result? 1 have been
going out of my way ever since for
anything in his line just because the
merchant had been so obliging. We
became very well acquainted, and one
day l told him how had become one
of his customers.
"'Why,' he replied, that is the way
1 get my trade. If l didn't try to ac-
commodate people who come in here I
would have had to close up long
ago
81 suppose that is the key to the sue
cess of all the little merchants in and
off the streets. 1t pays to be gracious"

\ COU NTY TRAINING
SCHOOL.

The Legislature has provided for in
creasing the number of county training
schools for teachers. Iowa county
ought to move speedily in the matter
and if possible secure one of these

suggestion, and would gladly join the
other newspapers of the county, and
friends of public education generally,
in an effort to make the project a sue
cess. Let us all pull together!

CLEANING UP CAMPAIGN.
Why 1t Pays to Get the Support of the
School Children.

The summer cleaning season is bring
Ing it's usual good results on every
hand. The various neighborhOod i'm
provement societies are active. Trees
have been planted. Vacant lots have
been cleared of their winters accumu-
latiOnS. Individual citizens have been
advised and encouraged regarding bet
terments about the home. The men
of the street cleaning department are
making their semiannual visit to the
outlying districts Cutters are being
scraped and openings to sewers are
being uncovered. All of this means
more healthful conditions of life as
well as more pleasing surroundings.
so far as the eye IS concerned.
The Oak Park folks have shown
wisdom in enliSting the interested CO.
operation of the school children. The
labor Of the youngsters was effective
in picking up papers and other I'M
slightly things A group of boys and
girls properly encouraged can accom-
plish a great deal in the course of a
busy hour or two. But there is
more important consideration yet.
School children make a lot Of litter.
If they take lunches to school it is
easy to fall into the careless habit of
scattering papers and boxes wherever
they eat. Under such conditions they
seldom appreciate the amount of labor
that is required to clean up after them.
1t is a good thing therefore, to get
the support Of the children in a clean
ing up campaign. 1t makes them
more thoughtful when the temptation
to make litter comes. 1t helps in their
training toward interest In matters
of civic concern. An energetic move
ment for neighbOrhoOd cleanliness
always has farreaching influences
whose significance may not be recog-
nized at the time Now is the time
for such activity. 1t is essential to
health. 1t means greater satisfaction
and enjoyment in a few weeks. 1t
has distinct educational value in the
direction of better citizenship.-Chica-

PLUNGER LIVERMORE
 MISSING FOR WEEKS

New York, July 21.-Jesse L. Liver more. whose ups and downs as a. p1unger in stocks, cotton and wheat were widely chronicled in 1907-8, has place in the offices of E. F. Hutton & Co.,, of 35 New Street for several weeks, and his name has been erased from the door of one of the inner of fees in which he used to make his headquarters when his profits were large. Inquiries about him were re- ceived yesterday with some impatience at the office of Hutton & Co.
 It was current gossip yesterday in the brokerage offices that MT. Liver more has been a heavy loser on the short side of cotton and wheat. In August last year he was reported to have been ore of the leaders of the bull pool in cotton which collapsed disastrously after fighting the decline for more than a week. When the market finally went to pieces with a drop of s2.5O a bale he was reported to have lost close to a million.
 Before that time his profits from cotton and wheat operations were said to have amounted to over $2,000, GOO, and he was pointed to as the most successful of recent plungers. He first the bear market in stocks in 1907, when he was said to have run an orig inal stake of s25,000 up to s250O0O. Af- ter a number of heavy Setbacks he got $50,O00 together, which he ran up to over 5000, 900 before his disastrous bull operations last year in the cot ton market. This Spring he is said to have turned bear, and it is on that side of the cotton and wheat market that he is now reported to have met the reverses which account for his re- cent absence from his old haunts.
 On July 1 W. D. Hutton, one of the board members of E. F. Hutton & Co.,, withdrew from the firm, forming a new partnership with his father, all though continuing to make his head quarters at the New Street office of E. F. Hutton & Go.
