WHO WAS BELLE CA
" RILLON. A New York
Arabian Nights Entertain
ment, by Gelett Burgess,
has an instalment that is
likely to overwhelm you
with laughter. You will re-
member the old fraud, DR..
Hopbottom. Well, the story
within the story relates
how DR.. Hopbottom led an
Antiprofanity Parade in
Brooklyn, and overcame a
truck driver by employing
his wondrous vocabulary.
1t is a gorgeous tale. Prob
ably you look forward rather
eagerly to fantastic stories
which are so chokeful of en-
tertainment.

has a spirited account of a
fox hunt, in which the
rivalry between Mrs. Wray
and Mrs. Cheyne adds to
the excitement.

agricultural experts to teach soils,

The Normal Department of Domes-

warm meals for the students who are
compelled to bring their lunches dur
ing cold weather. For the small cost
of ten cents a week to cover the cost
of food, each child is served with one
warm dish every day. They bring
their lunches and tables are spread
and a warm 6ish added by the domes-
tic science department. In addition q
teacher remains with the pupils and
superintends their play in the gym
nasium or amuses them with story
telling. The plan works admirably
and has created an interest in the
luncheon hour which never existed
heretofore. The plan is being i'm
pressed upon the minds of the students
in the rural course and it is probable
that it will be adopted by them when
they become rural teachers. The plan
could be carried out in a country
school and at a very small expense.

TAyLESs TOWN.
d WILLIAM 4 MwpM.

TG
We have had "Spotsless Town"
galore-and 1t sounds good. Now
we have "Taxless Town" The Oma-
ha Daily News tells the story as fol-
lows: There Ii Z little town In
| Sweden by the name Of ORION. Orr
son. Remember that name. For
Orson is n OF the greatest towns in
the world. OF course, OrBon Isn't as
big as London, or New York, or Bags
dad, or perhaps Oshkosh. But Orson
has done something that none OF the
so-called great cities OF the world
has ever done. OrsOn has lodged all
local tAxes-successfnlly and hon-
estIy. The Orson railway IL free to
every citizen OF the town. The tele-
phone service Ii free. Schools and
libraries cost the citizens absolutely
nothing. All because q generation
or two ago the patriotic people OF
OrsOn planted trees. Orson has a
municipal forest that has yielded the
town 5000. 900 In the past thirty
years. And the 100000 has paid
the running expenses Of the town.
"Of course, there isn't anything to
hinder any American town from do
ing the same thing. But we don't
notice any American town doing tt
To date Milwaukee seems to be the
only American town that has even
thought about 1t. But It's worth
thinking about, isn't itf Also, 1t
might be worth while to consider at
the same time the fact that while
Orson was paying her municipal ex-
penses for the past year from the
proceeds OF her well-kept forest, the
American nation, through neglect of
her forests, was suffering q loss OF
x200,0Oo,000 and 9 than 100
lives"
So many things to be done, SO lit
tie to do it Hll with-that lie the cry
OF individual and community alike.
Once tn q while an Individual be-
comes thrifty. does not spend all
that he earns, puts aside something
| for q rainy day, and makes such
good Investments that at q respecta-
by early age heScan retire q 1iv6
| upon the fruits Of his former labors
and foresight. Why cannot a COM
munity or a state do the samef Why
may they not make equally good In
vestments, practically sndowing
themselves, against the time when
future generations shall be In pos
session? The great doctrine of cons
~servation, as preached by some OF
our politicians. has more meat in 1t
than appears upon he surface.
The best investment that a COM
munity may make Is in connection
with the welfare Of tt citizens, NOR
ally and socially more than ~fnancial-
". Anything that looks toward the
betterment OF It's men and women,
its boys and girls, is a wise invest
ment, whether 1T be directly for
their good morally or socially, or
whether 1t be a financial Investment
that later will permit OF moral and
social improvement. For Instance,
bonding a city for the purchase and
equipment Of public Fairgrounds.
