PARIS KNOWS THEIR VALUE.
Smooth, Clean Highways ard Bsauti-
ful Parks Are Profits BILE to the citv

Iul rarks are Frottsble to the City.
Paris has accepted unfiinclSngly the
doctrine that smooth and clean high
ways are a wise investment and that
so long as the work is done in a thor
ough and scientific manner, with an
honest and skillful application OF
means to ends, the result is worth
having regardless of cost. The ex-
pense of maintaining, cleaning and
sprinkling the streets is greater than
in any other European city, but the
sort of pre-eminence that such street
service helps to secure is profitable in
a hundred indirect ways.
Paris has by far the richest park
equipment of any city in the world.
The area of parks within an after
Moons excursion is 10000 acres, while
farther away are more extensive pub
lie grounds, such as Versailles anG
Fontainebleau. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the profits which Paris derives
annually from its parks, boulevards
and public buildings. Bankers have
estimated that Americans spend up
ward of $500,00O,0O0 annually in for
elgn countries, and 1t is safe to say
that Paris receives at least one-fifth
of this vast sum, the profits from
which are as great as are the profits
from pork to Chicago. shoes to st
Louis and beer to Milwaukee.
The experience of Paris ought to con-
vince the most skeptical that there is
no modern community of civilized men
which cannot afford to provide the
most perfect public appointments that
technical and scientific knowledge
have discovered-well made and clean
streets, good water, proper drainage,
convenient transit facilities, complete
schools and thorough sanitary organi-
cations. No city should think itself
rich enough to prosper without them.
and no city is so poor that it cannot

SOCIAL PROGRESS.
What a Small Citys Civic Club Has
Accomplished.


All over the United States small
towns are realizing that they, as well
as the great cities, have social and
civic condi ions and problems which
call for rally of citizenship and com
munlty action. How much can be
quickly accomplished in small city is
shown by the work of the Civic club
OF Cumberland, Allegany county. Md.
which is only year old.
The direct work has been done by
the women, but the men have risen TO
the clubs suggestions and are turning
10 1t for help in n surprising number
OF cases, says the Survey. The major
part of the meat dealers petitioned for
the clubs cooperation in doing away
with insanitary conditions of sale
from wagons. The city officials were
interested to cooperate In removing
weeds. The electric railway authori-
ties have been brought to see the need
or new station and lavatory. The
board of health is coming to realize the
necessity of locating the slaughter
houses more suitably and controlling
their conditions.
A committee of merchants petitioned
for an arc light where disorderly men
and women congregated and for the
requirement of screens over fruit,
meats, etc, exposed for sale.
Unfortunate conditions after dark in
a cemetery led to the appointment Of

Bindlna Corn Fodder,

Many farmers have a handy device
for binding corn fodder as it is husked
from the shock in the field. 1t con-
sists of small wooden rack for hold
ing the fodder and a hand lever for
pressing it down for tying. A good
armful of fodder is placed in this rack,
the lever pressed down and caught
and the bundle tied with binding
twine. These bundles, with all ears
of corn removed, are light and easy to
handle. They may be placed in the
haymow or other shelter and will
keep perfectly for many months, since
the absence of corn on them does not
attract rats and mice.

Straw-PiIe Shelter.

straw piles. The accompanying illus
tration will give the reader an idea of
one very common type of a straw-pile
hog pen. Two or three forked posts
are set securely in the ground and in
the forks of these a strong rail is
placed to support the slanting timbers
which rest upon the ground. The
rails are held securely in place by the
straw which is piled or stacked about
and above them. To prevent all shift
ing of the rails they may be dug into
the ground. This form of shelter is
proving satisfactory with many corn
belt feeders.

PROVIDING SHELTER FOR HOGS.
Form Of Straw Pile for Swine That 10

In some respects, there is no bet
ter way Of sheltering hogs in real
cold weather than to give them the
run of the straw pile. OF course, this
plan is open to very serious objec-
tions II suitable accommodations are
not provided. To merely turn large
drove of hogs against an average

The Moving Picture Shows.

Whichever may have been said OF
moving picture shows in the past
and without reference to the shows
as they are conducted in other COM
munities, the Enterprise wants to
90 on record as approving the shows
that are patronized six evenings IN
the week by the people of Fitzger-
aid.
We believe that any minister or
ministers wife in the community
can afford to patronize the shows
and without the probability ofseelng
or hearing anything to offend, and
we believe that with more patronage
from the more dignifled and refined
of the community the tendency,
which is evidently in the right oil
rection would be to elevate the
shows and increase their education
al value. The suggestive
picture and the Objectionable
vaudeville are things of the past,
and we expect to see the speclaltles
introduced to break the monotony
of the pictures, confined to music,
jugIery, acrobacy and the like. The
necessity for questionable costum-
ing or lack of costumings and sug-
gestive jokes does not longer exist
and is disappearing.
The show managers have learned
that patronage does not depend on
those features.
We congratulate Messrs Kicker
and Miller for the great improve
ment which is also enjoyed by MIR.
Urmy who has learned by expert
ence that the clean show is best for
manager as well as patrons.

ANY WOMAN MAY LOOK WELL
Prevailing Fashions In Evening
Gowns May BE Worn by
Amy Figure.

The woman who annot look well in al
evening gown this season is a hopeless
proposition, for the designers have offered
an amazing latitude of line and period. To
be sure, there Is still the slender silhouette.
The feminine insisteuce upon that point
gave a sight check to the autumn move
ment toward full skirts and materials OF
more body; but this insistence has brought
about a happy state OF affairs.
The dressmakers, while making the con-
cession demanded. still cling to their new
passion for flowing lines and as a result
we ave drapery without clumslness and a
type Of clinglng slenderness devoid of the
exaggerated directoire skirts failings. A
certain straightness of Inc is loft, but we
have in a majority of the models more
suggestion OF gracious waist curves, and
the moyen age idea has in the main been
robbed Of It's most spectacular features.
