A Call Fer Volunteer.

The Good Cheer band Of fair renown.
Who boost home trade and boom the town,
Who brighten. build and beautify
Ttll 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 tho 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 betterment,
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 brothsrhood.

And do not send q substitute
In the Commercial club enlist
And Be . hustling optimist.
Just smile. smile. smile, and lend q hand
For progress and the Good Cheer band.

PLANTING STREET TREES.
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 1t should spend its money.
but only how 1t may get with etficien-
cy the greatest amount of sightliness
for its money. 1t is of the highest i'm
portance that plan be outlined on
which people of diverse tastes and in
terests can either agree or effect n
compromise.
1t will not he impossible to find n
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 a thorough discussion Of the mer
its Of the different trees to put the Sc
lection Of one for each street to a vote
and let the majority rule. not forget
ting that this is matter which con-
Germs the general public more than the
Individual.

Denver on the Main Line

A rumOr is current in railroad cir
cles that the Union Pacific IS to put
Denver on its main line in so far as its
two greatest trains are concerned. The
rumur says that the Overland Limited
No. l, westbound and No. 2, east
bound, are to be run over the Jules
burg line to Denver, then back
through Greely and over the Carr
Borie cutoff to the main line west of
Cheyenne. Local. railroad men are
not inclined to consider the report
seriously.

School Children in Moving Pic

To show 100000 farmers that it is
practical tO desert the little one room
ungraded school in the country, espec-
pecially in the well settled states and
substitute the rural high school, with
its manual training, domestic science
and agricultural departments, the de-
partment Of agriculture has devised q
novel scheme.
These schools have been developed
to a high degree of efficiency in many
parts of the country, the children and
young people being taken to school in
carriages and taken home each even
ing over well established routes.
According to Willet M. Hays, assis-
tant secretary of agriculture, the plan
works-wherever it has been tried no
farmer would have his children return
to the little old school which pioneered
for education in every state 10 the
union.
But Mr.. Hays is an enthusiast over
the possibilities OF consolidation aud
broadening of the courses in the
country and during the coming season
IS soon as school opens, the depart
ment will make almost 1000 feet of
film showing school children being
picked up in the carriages, going TO
school, arriving at the big buildings,
in the class rooms, boys making things
of wood and steel: girls cooking and
sewing; classes Of the agricultural de-
partment selecting seed corn and
studying animal industry.
