instigated through the press, under
the direction of the Civic Improve
ment committee, whereby more ac-
tive efforts may be aroused In the
way Of tree and rose bush planting
in preparation for the rose festival
OF the early summer. The hundreds
of roses planted last spring will be
in splendid condition, IL we'll cared
for this spring, to produce a wealth
OF blossoms for the annual rose ex-
hibit. Roses planted this spring will
put the owners in position to have
ready for next year splendid show
ing, and so the movement grows.
Sweet pea seeds will be distributed

rem, and prizes offered as last year.

Of the members to increase the mem
bership to one hundred before the
next regular meeting. Every woman

this organization, and contribute her
help for the building up Of larger

The Pinchot presidential boom has been launched from Chicago by one Tobias, who is proposing to dot the landscape of the United States with Watch Plnchot Grow clubs II strikes us that that is not a happy motto. Presidential timber is sup posed to be selected with respect to its maturity Men who are yet growing are less preferable than those who are already grown to full men tai stature.
 MT. Pinchot perhaps possesses the highest qualifications for the presi- dency. With that matter we are not immediately concerned We have un- der discussion now only Chicago presidential booms. for this is not the first It was a Chicago man who claimed to have seen Mckinley first and who attributed the nomination of the distinguished Ohioan in 1896 to his timely discovery.
 He conducted a peculiar Mckin- ley campaign separate and distinct from the regular republican organi- zation. campaign. keeping before the world all the time that he was the original Mckinley man.
