JERSEY TOWNS GOOD MOVE
What a Shovel Broom and Rake Bri-
qade Has Done For Florence.

gade Has Done For Florence.
Much has been done to remodel and
improve the town of Florence, n. j.,
which is one of the most prosperous
on the New Jersey side Of the Della
ware. Some of the methods that have
been set on foot in Florence can be
adopted by other towns in the cOun-
try. The river road approach to the
town has been reconstructed. A mar
row, ill kept thoroughfare was con-
verted into a boulevard, skirted by
park and a hundred pretty new cot
tages. Then handsome new brick Of
fee building took the place of the old
frame structure. Unconscious probably
Of their incentive, residents began to
brighten up their own properties.
Prominent citizens organized the
Shovel, Broom and Rake Brigade, a
society pledged to keep the streets
clean and encourage floral beauttfica-
ton of the town AS q result Of its
work several large flower beds have
already been set out along the high
ways. 1t has also kept the streets
and yards spick and span.
Mrs. Ella Hoover ThaCher, head Of
the county Woman's Christian Temper
ance union, has taken an active part
In the city beautiful work. AT a
mass meeting called by a committee
Of the women Daniel Bishop, William
Absolom and John Peacock were APP
pointed to head the work Of improve
ments. They procured passage by the
township authorities Of ordinances re-
quiring that streets and yards be kept
clean and have seen their demand for
the appointment of the towns first reg
ular policemen fulfilled.
Strangely, the improvements are SO
far confined entirely to that section
locally known as "Foundrytown." But
the spirit of improvement is spreading.
Two boulevards encircling the lower
end of the town are already under
construction. Citizens are talking Of
applying to the next legislature for a
city charter.

Of her daughter Mrs. b. Becker 394
Cleveland Ave, Chicago, Mrs Eliza
beth Meuer, wife of the deceased Anton
Meuer; aged ninety years and twenty
days. She was born June Is, 1919,
at Sespenroth, Nassau, Germany
After her marriage there to Mr. Meuer
they came to America and settled on
farm in Union Mills, Wis, where they
lived many years. After her husbands
death she resided with her daughter
Mrs. b. Becker at Dodgeville, also
Mineral Point; and from there to
Chicago, where they have made their
home for many years. She had been in
good health until few months before
her death, when she failed rapidly but
suffered no pain was conscious till the
day she died; and slept away quiet and
peaceful as she had been all through
life. She was always cheerful, never
complained, and had unbounded faith
in God and prayer. She will always be
remembered as a kind, loving mother,
aud noble Christian woman. The
funeral services were held at st.
Michael's church in Chicago, and then
to st. BOuriface cemetery. She leaves
her daughter Mrs. b. Becker and hus
band, five grandchildren, and many
nieces and nephews to cherish her
memory.

A Call For Volunteers.

The Good Cheer band of fair renown,
Who boost home trade and boom the town
Who brighten, build and beautify
Till all is pleasing to the eye,
Who sound their battleCry, improve
They are the lads who make things move
The benefactors of the land.
Then come and join the Good Cheer band
OF old the brave knight fought and strove
And cleaned with hardware like stove
He rode to seek the Holy Grail
Or lift some maiden out of jail,
From Judah's hills to chase the hordes
That Haunted moons and crooked swords
And through his Whiskers stOutly swore
To drown the dragon in its gore.
The modern knight swears softer Oaths
And does not dress in sheet iron clothes,
And yet he has as high intent
In seeking civic bettermeut,
IN winning for his town success.
Prosperity and happiness,
And spreading sunshine through the land
a member Of the Good Cheer band.
Come join the boosting brotherhood,
A soldier of the common good;
Become a volunteer recruit
And do not send q substitute
In the Commercial club enlist
And be Il hustling optimist.
Just smile, smile, smile, and lend a hand
For progress and the Good Cheer band.

Enough of Reid.

Milwaukee Journal: And now in the
name of the people let Whitelaw Reid
come home. He has married his
daughter to British aristocracy. He
has had the poor, tired old king to din
ner. He has poured out his money like
water for houses and show and enter
tainment. He has squeezed and sucked
the ambassadorial orange until there is
nothing left but a dry rind. Now why
not come home?
For ourselves, we do not care for this
type of American ambassador. We do
not think it harmonizes with the spirit
of our institutiOns-and history. The
money qualification, the ostentation, the
emphasis on the social, the great effort
to court the favor of that element in the
old world regime which depends on
caste rather than merit-nOne of this
appeals to us. We would rather our
democracy were represented by a dem
ocrat. We feel sure that unassuming
merit would command more respect
even on that side of the water than any
amount of empty imitation.

Educational Exhibits,

The Wisconsin Anti! tuberculosis
Association has added another unique
feature to the splendid educational Elk
hibit which is now touring the northern
part of the state.
For the purpose of getting the
message that consumption is both cura-
bic and preventable home to those who
need it most, the association has decided
to add materially to the attractiveness
of the exhibit. A large graphaphone,
the largest and most perfect concert in
strument obtainable has been purchased
and is now in operation.
Every evening and during each day
the demonstrator in charge of the ex-
hibit gives an open air concert of band
and other instrumental and vocal mum
bers, interspersed at intervals by very
short striking talks ON the subject of
tuberculosis which point out the dan
gers of splitting or sidewalks and in
public places and the folly of delaying
he systematic out -of door life when the
signs of disease first show themself
AT Amigo recently they not only
acked the store building where the
exhibit was, but crowd stood in the

THE STR f. EFT s.

There is nothing new under the sun.
The streets Of Jerusalem were kept
clean by each man sweeping in front Of
his own dOOryard. And now, in this
twentieth century, there are house
holders in Mineral Point who keep up
the good old custom Of cleaning the
public street in front of their property.
The other evening" on Maiden street. a
young business man was engaged in
this landable undertaking; and by his
efforts he greatly improved the appear
ance of his own well kept premises and
added to the comfort of the public who
travel that way. This kind Of public
service deserves commentator.
If all the townspeople would only
join and work together in a well organ
lied effort for street cleaning, street
sprinkling, and street improvements,
what a slightly, pleasant old town they
would make Of Mineral Point.
First class streets are greatly to be
wished; but general improvement will
come but very slowly, unless at least a
share Of the expense is borne bv prop

pajrs and improvements, as well as the
greater share Of tbe cost Of sidewalks.

expenditure of a large sum of money to
show any marked yearly improvement.

PLANTING STREET TREES.
Value of Adopting the Cooperative
Method In Selecting Best Variety.

Value of Adopting the cooperative
Method In Selecting Best Variety.
Little can be done toward uniform
planting of street trees without zeal
Gus and well directed cooperation on
the part of all interested. There must
be unity and intelligence of plan, and
the work should be carried on by
farmers clubs and Improvement aSSO-
Citations, those necessary organizations
which do not presume to tell the COM,
munity how it should spend its money,
but only how it may get with efiiCien-
cy the greatest amount of SightlineSs
for its money. 1t is Of the highest i'm
portance that a plan be outlined on
which people of diverse tastes and in
terests can either agree or effect a
compromise.
1t will not be impossible to find a
tree upon which all will agree, for the
vast majority of people desire above
all things that their neighborhOod
should be attractive and will yield
somewhat in their opinion in order to
obtain desirable results We must
learn to sacrifice some things In order
to get others Of different tastes to CO.
operate with us. 1t is best perhaps
after q thorough discussion of the mer
it's of the different trees to put the Sc
lection of one for each street to vote
and let the majority rule, not forget
ting that this is a matter which con-
Germs the general public more than the
Individual

ENTERTAINME

SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
For 1909 Are Entirely New and
UnSursaSSed.

While the primary purpose of fair
is to bring out an exhibit of stock and
the products of agriculture and the
mechanical arts, there are a number of
other features that are very attractive.
The entertainment and amusement of
the people are an important undertak-
ing. The First and Best Fair has long
recognized this fact and each year gives
particular attention to the securing Of
special features and attractions that are
bound to interest the people. The
racing program Given elsewhere in this
issue) is most excellent. There will be
real baseball games every day, and
Chefalo and the BonmOrs Arabian
Troupe will appear daily.
No matter whether you are looking
for instruction or amusement the First
and Best Fair will furnish both every
day from Aug. II to the Goth.
