OF tho beautifying OF American fac

announced. After turning over the

The other minister was widower
who had remarked within a year after
his first wife's death. His friends and
congregation thought him very expe-
litious, and on the next Sunday. when
his text was announced. they could
scarcely control themselves. He rose

WORK OF CIVIC BODIES.
How One city's Progress Is Reflected
BY Increased Improvement Societies.


BY Increased Improvement Societies.
Perhaps no one thing shows the pro-
gressiveness OF Cincinnatians more
than continued growth in number OF
business organizations and improve
ment associations. There are now In
Cincinnati and suburbs about 100 such
organizations. even the hu lblcst sec

ward greater Cincinnati ud adding
their efforts TO the buildi:,s up OF In

Five gears ago there were I'm Cincin-
natl perhaps less than twoscore OF
such organizations, and but few Sec
tions OF the city or suburbs boasted an
organization OF bui less men for i'm.
provement OF civic conditions.
The situation day Is reversed. for
every important residence section OF
the city and every suburb has made
itself noticeable factor In the affairs
OF the community.
Membership in these many organiza.
tions ranges all the way from forty
TO thousand, n number OF the larger
bodies I'm the city proper having the
maximum number.
One OF the important central bodies
which has been organized in recent
years is the Associated Organizations,

directly interested. Then there il the
Federated Improvement association.
with n score of CONSEQUENT bodies. In
both OF these large central organiza-
tions the representation Is 10y means
OF three delegates from each constitu.
ent body.
A special feature TO which the many
improvement associations are giving
their attention Is the Improvement of
streets and public school buildings and
environment.
Movements for viaducts and other
important additions to travelling facil.
tiles, park areas and Fairgrounds,
memorials and other things which
make n city great. are directly trace.
