TOWN BOOSTERS BOOSTS.

Valuable Suggestions That Are Ap-
plioable to Any Rural Community.
A town booster who knows how to
boost recently prepared these ques-
tions and suggestions, which are ap-
plicable to any town, whether it is on
the map or not:
Where is our town on the map?
Who knows our town is on the mapl
Who cares-other than our home
folks?
What does our town mean indus
trially to America?
What is its rank in the American
development game?
What's the score?
Are we really In the game?
Boys, it is almighty important the
position our town takes in this race
for municipal supremacy.
And the old town cannot fight her
battles without you and me to boost.
We can boost at least If we do not
build.
No town is better than her men.
No town ever went ahead without
men to push her ahead.
A lazy farmer allows his crops to
run to weeds.
A lazy townsman allows his town to
run to weeds-literally and figurative-
ly.
Weeds and crops do not thrive we'll
together. Weeds and town develop
ment do not know each other.
Let's cut down the weeds.
Let's cultivate our ground.
There is reason for our town being
on the map or 1t would not be there.
Let us study our town little.
After we know our town let's tell
others; let's pass the information
around; send 1t abroad.
Let's work for our town.
Our private business is important
and must not be neglected, but our
general business interests are insep-
arably associated with the welfare OF
the town.
II the town prospers we will have a
better chance TO prosper.
What are you and what am / willing
TO do 10 make our town more promi-
nent on this mapi

parks boulevards. paved streets and a
scheme of public buildings that will

perfect water, sewage and garbage

make Spokane better place In which
to live, and with these we may trust
implicitly that it will be populated by
the right kind of men and women and
become as great and strong as the ag-
gregate of its citizenship. We want to
combine the beautiful and the prac-
teal

committees on legislation, physical de-
velopment, municipal administration,

provement or class Of improvements.
We are more anxious to know wherein
Spokane is weak than wherein it is
strong, so that we may build accord
ingly."

STABBED 8 TINES
IN BUSY STREET
BY STRANGE MAN
MOtorman Frederick Campbell
Then Walks Short Dis
tance and Faints.
REFUSES TO TALK
ABOUT THE AFFAIR
Hurried to Hospital, but Is
C0nsci0ns-fie is Not
Likely to Die.

Mysterious circumstances surround
the stabbing today of Frederick Camp
bell, a motorman, 81 years old, of 4sy
Peshine avenue, who, with eight
wounds on his face and body. walked
from the corner of Broad and William
streets, where the alleged affray took
place. to Market and Halsey streets
and finally collapsed from the loss of
blood. which was pouring from the
wounds on his face.
AS nearly as can be learned, Camp
bell was attacked by man whom he
declares he had never seen before, but
the absence of witnesses of such an
affray on one of Newark's busiest
streets seems remarkable. After the
attack the assailant, who is said to
have been a man into whose wagon
Campbell ran his car last week, es-
capped and no trace of him has so far
been found.
When Campbell reached the corner
of Market and Halsey streets his con-
dition was remarked by several peo-
pie who suddenly saw him fall to the
ground in faint They picked him
up and call for the City Hospital
ambulance was sent in. Campbell was
hurried to that institution and his
wounds attended to.
Eight separate wounds were found
on his face, head and body, the weapon
being sharpened instrument of some
kind. The injured man refuses to talk,
though he is conscious. The hospital
officials say that while Campbell is
badly cut up he is in no immediate

injured. He is covered from head to

result Of the accident, and is now con-

that the boy will probably recover.
The injured lad got hold of the crack

going to the yard in the rear of his
home he secured a match and lighted
the explosive. He failed to throw the
cracker away after setting the match
and 1t went off in his right hand,
knocking him almost senseless to the
ground.

hand was completely torn OF, his left
hand was blackened by the powder and

HAPPY TOTS ENJOY
FIRST STAR TRIP
OF OUTING FUND
Great Throng Goes to Coney
Island Through [. S. PIaut
& Co.'s. Generosity.

Hundreds of expectant children in
the custody Of their elders assembled
at the Stephens-Condit dock today for
the first OF the long, cool sails to Coney
Island and return, which the STARS
Free Ice and Outing Fund made pos
sible. This first excursion was known
as the L. s. Plaut & Co. outing. in
that the gift of 500 from that company
to the fund made it possible.
It was apparent to those who had
assembled to watch the children start
that the mere prospect of so delightful
for them. Many of them remembered
the good time of last summer. when
they had been happy members of just
such outing parties held under the aus
pices of the STARS fund. while others
Quivered with eagerness at the ap-
proach of an absolutely new expert
ence.
In the crowd which filed the New
ark to capacity were children to whom
the words 'Coney Island" had meant
nothing more than a dream of as
sorted delights which might or might
not at some distant day be realized.
The STARS ticket had made that
dream come true. There were among
the elders. too, those who had never
been to the popular playground by the
sea. even though they had always lived
near 1t.
One woman beamed delighted recog-
milton on the man at the gangplank

she conf1ded cheerfully. THE sick one
that came on last years outing is feel
ing so fine 1 didn't think 1 needed to

This isn't my baby" explained a
conscientious woman. at belongs to
the woman next door. She had to work
and look after a lot of other children.
Is it all right?"
''It sure u.s." said the STARS man,
cordially. Come right along. You
should have brought more of the chill
dren."
''Can I take off my clothes and
stockings, mister, when I get down
there?" asked a little girl. and from
her tone it might be inferred that her
future happiness depended upon the
answer.
What do you think your are going
for? OF course you cam replied the
man.
The day is being spent quietly on the
beach. There will be no effort to sec
the shows at Coney. Experience has
shown that time may be more profit
ably sDent in the open.
A physician and two nurses from the
City Hospital accompanied the holiday
crowd today. so that any sudden all
ment may meet with prompt attention.
