RAMBLING REMARKS
By Geo. o. Blake

have heard it said that it will
be too radical measure to order
cement sidewalks constructed all
over town, that it is very well to
require them IN the business dis
trict, but would be unduly oppres-
sive to property owners to require
them all over town. Well. l have
just been looking at the Olathe
Criterion and l see a long legal
advertisement which on inspec-
ton proves to be an ordinance re.
quiring cement sidewalks on all
the streets in the town and ad-
ditions, none being excepted SO
far as | can see, and | spent time
enough down there a year ago to
be fairly familiar with the town.
And Olathe isn't more than a
fourth as large as this town.
Every town except this one on
the west slope that makes any
pretense of being worth while is
building cement walks all over
the town. They make provision
f. r payment in yearly installments
so that they are easy for the
owners of property.
The organization of civic i'm
provement league was a good
move; and the putting of enter
prising women at the head of it
was the way to get something
lone. When a woman wants an
Easter hat, the price doesn't cut
much figure, she gets the hat. !
hope the same result will follow
in regard to civic improvements
1t may be taken for granted that
the women want a clean, hand
some town. and if they make up
their minds to have it. the result
may be confidently predi -ted.
But in point of fact, cement side
walks are not an extravaganza at
all. They cost but a trifle mere
than wooden ones at the present
prices of lumber, and they need
no care or repair. Once down,
they are there to stay. All that
has been said before, certainly. 1t
was said a good many times te-
fore anything was done and it viii
be necessary to say it good
many times more before every
thing that ought to be done is re.
ally accomplished. 1t is the crank
that turns the wheels. don't drs-
pise the crank.

One of the manifestations OF
civic pride is doing civic duty. Re
Gently a convention was called to
ma me candidates for town officers.
A mere handful attended. al
though the call was published in
the papers. Nobody had any
slate, nobody seemed to have
thought of suitable candidates. 1t
looked for while as though
there would be no nominations.
Finally a ticket was named. the
candidates for the most part un
willing ones. Aiterward some
people got together and nomi-
mated another ticket. The per-
sons doing SO could just as well
have participated in the first con
vention and had their choice
named. Later another ticket was
put in the field. Those naming
it might have had their choice in
the first convention. Then came
declinations until it is doubtful
whether the r, naming candidates
are the choice of majority of the
people or not There is no need
for such state OF affairs. as such
a state of affairs does not exist in
a wide awake town The only is
sue before the people now is that
of civic improvement and there
should be 10 difficulty in selecting
candidates competent and willing
to carry it out. So long as the
people here are disposed to let
somebody else start movement
and then oppose II regardless OF
merit, just as long will this town
be country crossroads. i do
not say this be cause am "sore."

INDEPENDENCE
ON THE FARM
ePlENDlD RESULTS FOLLOW
FARMING IN THE CANADIAN
WEST.
Americans In Canada Not Asked tc
Forget That They Were Born
Americans.

Farm produce today is remunera-
tive, and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics Of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies in the
cultivation Of the soil. Farming is no
longer hand-tomouth existence. 1t
means independence, often atiiuence,
but certainly independence
Calling at farm house, near one Of
the numerous thriving towns OF AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted AS quite
original. The broad acres of the farm
er's land had a crop-and a splendid
one. too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The evenness Of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention. as did also the neatness
of the surroundings, the well-built sub
stant1al story -and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides Of the cattle.
His broken English-he was French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little improvement it
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evil
dence as to the quality Of the soil, and
the good judgment that had been used
In its preparation. And brains count
In farming as well as Draw" Asked
how he liked 1t there, he Strengthened
his broad shoulders, and with hand
outstretched towards the waving fields
OF grain, this young French Canadian,
model Of symmetrical build, replied:
BE gosh, yes, We like him-the
farmin'-well. don't we, Jeannette?"
as he smilingly turned to the young
wife standing near. She had accom-
panied him from Montreal to his far
west home, to assist him by her wifely
help and companionship, In making a
new home In this new land. Yes, we
come here wan year ago. and we never
farm before. Near Montreal, me

Throughout a trip Of several hun
Gred miles In the agricultural district
OF Western Canada, the writer found
the farmers in excellent spirits. an

tives and friends are doing we'll there,

five men were seen struggling in the

others started for the shore, and two
boats were soon on their way to meet

ease. The other one sank out of

was soon pulled out by means of a

bring him back to life were fruitless.
Only the two that started for the
shore were good swimmers.
