no, Stuff from a Subscsiber

Editor Echo: ! would ike little
space IN Your paper this week 10 talk
about the sanitary conditions Of this
town. Tuesday Of this week was pro
claimed cleanup day by the mayor;
but everybody did not observe II. In
The residence districts, over WHICH the
women had charge, good work was
done; but il the business section Of
the town, where the Commercial Club
was supposed TO look after the work,
little if anything was done towards clean
ing up.
Complaints have been made about
the conditions surrounding the livery
stable, which is, and always has been'
IN a very unsanitary condition. Very
little was done, except 10 haul of :
few loads Of manure, and yet they were
notified 10 clean I'D. The stables
should be made 10 keep their yards
clean all the time, instead Of once a
year. Il is q well-establshed fact that
bsrnyard manure is one Of the greatest
sources Of disease, On account Of the
flies that breed there.
In the Merriam addition complaints
have been made about an open cess
pool adjoining the Lamb-Dayis Lumber
Cornpzny's houses. Il is said that the
sewage from three Of their houses IS
caried into this cess pool, and that II
has been running over ior year. Also
I understand that complaint was made
10 the health officer about this last
year, but nothing has ever been done.

In one Of his appearances il Spokane

OGDEN FOR
hUNIC|PA Al JUDGE

We notice by the Amigo Daily Jour
nal that our old time newspaper friend
John a. ogden. is non-partisan can
didate for reelection to the office of
Municipal Judge in Amigo. We know
that John is well qualified for the
office he seeks He has already serv
ed six months in this capacity with
credit to himself and the community.
We have watched his disposition in
the discharge of his public duties in
connection with that office as it has
appeared in public print and he has
been usually right, fair and just in
his decisions. We want to add our
endorsement to his candidacy and if
permitted, want to ask the good PEG
pie of his city to see that he is re
elected to that office, as mark of
respect and esteem for one who has
always been devoted to his city and
county

FLOyDS UNIQUE
ENTERTA |NERS

The last number of the entertain
ment course, by Mr. and Mrs. Floyd,
was one of mystery, optical deIusions
and mind reading. They continual
ly kept their large audience in a
state of mystification, and wondering
What impossible thing was going to
be done next. While many of their
tricks and decisions were not dis
tinctly new, they were cleVerly per-
formed and elected enthusiastic ap-
plause. This entertainment compar-
ed favorably with the rest of this
course.
The Athletic Societies of the Lin
coin High and County Normal schools
and Prof. Schwede are entitled to
great credit for giving the people of
Grand Rapids the course of enter
tainments furnished the past winter.
They have already taken steps to
provide even better course for next
winter, and We sincerely hope our
people will give it their hearty en-
dorsement by liberal patronage.

WHEN A FELLOW DIES

I've noticed when a fellow dies, no
matter what he's been
A sanity chap or one whose life was
darkly STEPPED in sin
His friends forget the bitter words
they spoke but yesterday
And now they find multitude of
pretty things to say.
l fancy when l go to rest some one
will bring to light
Some kindly word or goodly act
long buried out of sight;
But, if it's all the same to you, just
give to me instead
The bouquets while I'm living and
the knockings when I'm dead.
Don't save your kisses to imprint
upon my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are
hurled upon me now;
Say just one kindly word to me whilt
l mourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogy to
carve upon a stone:
What do l care if when I'm dead the
Bloomingdale Gazette
Gives me a write-up with a cut in
mourning set?
1t will not flatter me bit, no matter
what is said,
So kindly throw your boquets now
and knock me when I'm dead.
1t may be fine when one is dead,
to have the folks talk so,
To have the flowers come in loads
from relatives you know;
1t may be nice to have these things
for those you leave behind,
But just as far as I'm concerned. |
really do not mind,
I'm quite alive and well today, and
while l linger here,
Lend me helping hand at times
give me a word of cheer,
Just change the game a little bit;
just kindly swap the decks,
For I will be no judge of flowers
when I've cashed in my checks

REVIVAL SERVICES
DRAW WELL
Mr.. FoIIey's Singing a Feature
and Captures the Audience
Readlly---Theme of Sermon
Tomorrow Evening Slippery
Places"

There was a remarkably good at
tendance at the Methodist church
tuesday evening at the revival ser
vices. The half hour of song directed
by Mr.. Foley, was full of enthusiasm
and greatly enjoyed. Mr.. Foley is
fine tenor singer, with a voice of
good quality and range, and under
good control and is very pleasant to
listen to. He commands the attention
and easily obtains the cooperation OF
the congregation His selection of
solos last evening was especially ap-
| proprlate to the theme of the ser
mon, and rendered with good effect
The sermon of the pastor was on
Forgotten Sins" and was based on
two passages of scripture, one point
Ing out the fact that our sins are
written against US, and the memory
OF them is ever with us; the other,
| that when God forgives he forgets.
and puts our sins as far from him as
| the east is from the west The trend
OF the sermon was to show how es-
sential it is for us that we come to
| God through Jesus Christ, confess our
SINS, forsake our sins, and believe on
the LORD Jesus as our personal Saw
Tor. 1t was a sermon calculated to
come home and fit closely, and if it
failed to sooth the troubled conscience
| it had the virtue of plainness and
adaptability to the needs of the hear
ers, and was calculated to stir the
thought of the hearer, and to rouse
to action
There are no clap trap methods
used in these meetings. A plain and
frank declaration of the teachings
of the gospel, as understood by the
speaker is given, and a personal in
Vltation to every one to come into
the relation of believers in Jesus as
present Savior. Tomorrow evening
the sermon theme will be Slippery
Places" A half hour of song will
proceed the sermon Mr.. Foley will
sing. A children's meeting was held
at four o'clock, Tuesday and nearly
fifty youngsters came trooping into
the building to enjoy short and in
teresting service of song.
Other children's meetings win be
held, and it is expected that the mum
bers will greatly increase from day
to day.

This beautiful spring weather which
we are enjoying so far this month
prompts US to remind all citizens of
Grand Rapids and property owners
to have an eye single to the cIeanli-
ness OF our premises, streets and
etc. If every one will do their part
and see that their immediate surround
ings are beautified and kept so it
will greatly add to the beauty of our
already beautiful city.
This VIII not be an added expense,
only a little exertion and thoughtful
ness on the part of everyone. 1t
should be pleasure for every one
to add their mite to the civic beauty
OF our city. Let US all join in unison
toward this end.

From letter received Monday
from J. H White of Marshfield form
erly editor and in charge of the
Marshfield News, we CLEAN that him
self, brother and son are about to
launch a weekly newspaper on May
LIST, 1911. John has always issued
a good paper and the people of Marsh
field can rest assured that the new
one will be excellent and equal to
the others published in that city.
While we think MarshfieId has al

there may be a greater field in that
city and vicinity than we have any
knowledge Of However, we wish
John and the new firm unbounded
success in this new venture.

CITY PLANNING IN MILWAUKEE

The city planning movement is
spreading rapidly over the United
States. City after City is coming 10
rea lzatiun of the fact that it is wort h
while to plan a city as one plans a
house, to take thought to-day for the
possibilities and the needs of to-mor-
row and the day after. Last week.
under the title 1.-The City Practical y
a member Of The OutIook's staff de-
scribed the plan which has been made
Tor PlttSburgh-,'a plan to relieve and
preventcongesi ion and to regu ate the
cost OF living" In Milwaukee city
planning movement has passed the t~ @
stages of discussion and the making
OF plans aud reached that official &C
tion, In the movement all Milnau-
KEGS publ C bodies are coo; Grating.
The city government, the City Park
commission, the County Park Com-
mission, the metropolitan Park Com
mission, and the county Board Of Sup
ervisors are ali working together, with
cooperation OF private citizens, to-
ward common end THIS CO ordination
OF effort is a hIlpY cons rast to what
is too of en- seen in communities where
one ward IT city completes with a
mother, the city with county, the coun-
ty with the State, and public officials
with private indivdua s. The new
pans for Milwaukee cover nine square
miles of city. and are especially note
| worthy because they recognize the
pratical requirements for more adj
equate traffic and transporta ion sy5-
TEN. Main haroughfaIes will have a
minimum width of l20 feet and main
pleasure dive $50 feet, thus allowing
ample sp ce for p 'anting, as well as
providing special motnrWay for rap d.
moving vehicles. The plans also show
for sight in selection of pa ks and play
grounds, thereby saving uneces sary ex-
penSe later on. The various pub ic
bodies at Milwaukee have no intention
OF resting upon what they have already
accomplished. They intend especially
to agitate for the passage of law giving
them increased city p canning powers
They ask for and probably get he pow
er OF excess condemnation, authorit it,,
TO Tx the building line as we'll as he
street line, reasonable controltof the
plating of private property, and the
power to buy, rent, and sell real estate
for the purpose of h using. These in
creased powers are not advocated bs
any single political party. but are ap-
proved by practically allsparties, be-
cause hey recognize their, necessity
and the dependence upon them of any
permanent public welfare
The Outlook

People will welcome a reduced cost
OF living, come from what source it
may. would welcome a decline in flour
and meat, which are now on the down
ward turn, and cheaper bread, which
the farm or, in common with other
people. buys llrgely from the baker.
The baker could sell larger loaf for
the same money without loss of profit
and the laborer could work for less
wages if it cost him half as much 10
live. as now and everybody would be
benefited by lower level in the price
of household commoditis S.
