The improvement societies in a num-
Der of towns and cities have recently
directed their efforts to inducing the
citizens to remove high board fences
as dividing lines between back yards,
and where it has been found imprac-
ticable to secure this concession eff
fort has at least been made to induce
property holders to cover the board
fences with vines. Similarly the idea
of the open lot has been encouraged
for front yards, and where a division
line is insisted upon effort is made to
induce the provision Of hedge or
flower bed instead Of a more or less
unsightly fence. Some Of the societies
are going still further and giving at
tention to such projects as the cleans
ing and identifying Of public build
ings. the creation Of pleasing church
exteriors and surroundings and the
provision of public baths and other
valuable municipal utilities.

of bipartisan representation would be
defeated. The Republican party
would be responsible for the whole
investigation if it named the entire
committee
Mr.. PoindeXter said the rules COM
mittee of the house had introduced
the original resolution instigatin2
the investigation, in such manner
as to constitute an attack upon the
forestry service and permaturely
brand Secretary Ballinger as a pure
and innocent man"
Legislative autocracy is on the
run. It's chief exponent, Speaker Can
non has lost his power and every eff
fort will be made to see that his
Legislative system goes with him,
said Insurgent Leader Murdoch, of
Kansas, commenting upon the ac-
ton of the house today in naming
the Ballinger-P investigating
committee.
THE real issue in the matter of
the selection of an invests eating COM
mittee was whether the house could
select the committee at all, and
whether when selected, it would be a
better, committee than the one Sc
lected by the speaker.
= "The house has proved that is can
select it's own committee and has Sc
lected committee on which all ele-
ments of the house and country are
represented, whereas, if the speaker
has selected it, it would have been
made up of his personal favorites.
Committeeman appointed by the
speaker would have owed their plac-
es to him. The men now named owe
their places to the house.
This makes all the difference in
the world, and it is the first sub
stantia step in the direction of cor
recting present Legislative procedure,
and marks an epoch. Legislative au-
tOcracy is on the run. It's chief eX-
pOnent, Joseph G. Cannon, has lost
his power and every effort will be
made to see that his legislative sys-
tenn goes with him."

The management has changed and
the officers wish to assure the Stock
holders that they are fully protected
and that the Association is in the
best and financially safest condition
since it's organization. The Associa-

upwards of Twenty hOmebuilders to
make homes for themselves but also
to solicit from others subscriptions
for stock in the Association. Stock
holders have an absolute guarantee

response by Mr.. WeatherwaX was
timely and to the point Before sit

erect building for the use of the
pioneers, in the near future, which
met with much favor by those pres

the Association Stands For" Mrs.
William Irvine captured her audience
by her description of the pioneer, his
achievements and his friendships. A.

showing what the pioneers could do,
as boosters in identifying Aberdeen.

FIRST PRIZE


Dear Aunt Laurie.
T NAPOLEON were to come to
this country l think he would be
surprised at the prominence of
the laboring man in politics. In his
time and country the middle and up
per classes had the most power. He
was such a despot that he would be
surprised at the small amount of
power the head executive has in COM
parison with the power he had. He
ruled his Legislature and he would be
surprised at how much power our con-
gress has. -
l think that should he be ruler there
would be war in little while. for it
was his will or none, and Americans
would not stand that.
He would also be surprised at the
rapid growth of our country. The
Louisiana territory, which we bought
from him about a. ¢ury ago, has
grown very much in that time. 1t has
been divided into several states and
is very great cotton and sugar pro-
ducing country, besides the fruit farms
and mines. Napoleon might not have

have known what great country it is

Then, again. 1 think that Napoleon
would say that the country on the
north and south of us should be made
ours. When Canada, with all its mines,
fisheries and grain fields is on the
north of us we ought to take it espe~
cially, as it belongs to his old (enle(

want us to conquer the country south
of us so that we would have control
over a whole continent. We may get

day, but l do not believe it will be by

would try to make of the United States
a monarchy. He would put anar-
chistic ideas into the heads of some of
the foreigners who don't know any
better than to follow such man, After
stirring up a revolt among the people
in America he would take his followers
and go to the art galleries and destroy
all our great treasures of art and liter
allure, similar to the way he did in
Italy. when he ransacked it, destroying
everything of value. When he had Sc
cured a monarchy he would probably
want to be emperor or king.
That secured, he could proceed to
punish or abolish England, France
and every other nation that didn't suit
or please him. Napoleon. of course,
would have to be a greater man than
this earth possesses now in order to
do all these things, but naturally he
would be great il he came back after

fairs at the present time, Napoleon
would find that the country was prac-
tically being controlled by the trusts
and big corporations. He would i'm
mediately organize an army to con-
quer the trusts. In a short time an
army of about 81 100000 men would be
raised. 1t would indeed be the great
est and largest army the world has
ever known.
But, hal It would be an army ST.
000 900 strong, ready to fight If neces-
sary, for Justice" not to conquer
territory or for any other unjust cause.
With a few attacks of Napoleon's
mighty army the so-called powerful
trusts would be completely destroyed.
If such a man as Napoleon only
could come to America! All that IS
needed is the undivided support of a
a large part of our population, with
an energetic honest, trustworthy lead
er such as Napoleon could be. and the
power of the trusts would soon be de-
molished.
Which shall we do? Shall we sit
down contented TO let the trusts keep
gaining power and influence upon the
great mass of Americans or shall we
try our level best to unite and fight
the trusts?"
Are we going to let might take the
