He turned his attention at once to

Pointers Well Worth Considering.

Reorganization in City Building" is the
topic of an address recently delivered by
William George Bruce, secretary OF the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, of Milwaukee, Wis.
Mr. Bruce believes that without CO.
operation between the business men OF
a city it is impossible for city to up
build and really succeed. Furthermore
city and it's business men cannot sue
coed unless backed and urged to success
by the people. the mass Of citizens.
Citizens who take more of an interest in
other cities than their own, patroniZe
foreign merchants and dealers, must
not complain and grumble because their
city is at standstill on the hull of pro-
gress or slowly slipping back
Commercial advancement is greatly
aided by natural advantages. Oppor-
tunities offered by the location of a city,
whether the opportunities be offered in
the way Of climate, means Of access,
water power or surrounding country,
the citizens should take Immediate
means TO develop. in order that these
natural gifts may further their city to
successful metropolitan life.
The work of enthusing home citizens
and citizens of other cities in the atiyan-
tage offered by the particular city, the
work of educating the people to open
their eyes to the undeveloped gifts of
nature, the work of advertising the city.
hanancing progressive plans and in gem
eral making a real public sentiment. is
the work OF commercial organization.
Some pithy remarks of Mr. Bruce
along the line of city boosting follow:
Advertise advantages of your town for
factories.
Never a time when chances were bet
Ter than right now for securing factories.
Give local retailers chance to make
a profit.
commercial association can assist
your educational system
Stand byyour local newspapers. Fight
shoulder to shoulder with your editors
and you'll win out.
fatnotlsm Is put to test in your own
town.
Civic pride is fine thing to foster.
Some men will salute the American
flag, but when asked to put down a dol
lar for their own town they'll RIM
Get to be q ''crank" on your own
town.

wealthy cattle man of Chugwater, Wyo.,

Milne was preparing breakfast in his

A mothers love of her first born was
the ruling passion of Mrs. Mines life.
Her physical and mental condition
necessitated a change from her old
home in wyoming and last June Milne
brought her to this city. She still con-
tinued to suffer mental torture, which
was not relieved by the birth of her
second child a month ago.
The mothers interest was so concen-
trated in the first born that she often
remarked that the baby must be of
other flesh and blood. 81 wish you
would take her away" she often told
her nurse Miss Rose Cherry; "the baby
don't seem to be mine like Mary

Her former attorneys, A. L. Frick
