A GOOD EXAMPLE.

lAn example which, if followed by
all of our citizens, would be Of in
estimabel benefit to the city is that
of two ladies belonging to the Civic
League, wo announced at yesterdays
meeting of the league that they had
personally performed tie work OF
filing up some holes in the street
in front of their homes.
There is lesson in the worthy act
of these ladies by which all Browns
vile might profit. If everyone would
undertake personally to fill the de-
pressions in the streets adjoining his
or her home, and have the rough
places smoothed, the strets would
be put in good condition very quick
ly.
And if the same commendable spir-
it were shown in all matters pertain
ing to civic Improvement, how soon
we should have here city of ideal
beauty.

DYNAMITE AMI RAIN.

The people of Wichita Falls ex-
pIoded 5000 pounds of dynamite
Friday in the effort to collet some
clouds and compel them to disgorge
a rain. The first Of these expert
ments, made several years ago,
! evoked more ridcule than rain. nor
do we recall that the results of any
subsequent experiment have been
such as strongly to encourage hope
in the efficacy Of this method. Rain
has indeed followed in some eases,
but there were modifying circum-
stances which gave reason to doubt
whether it was merely a coincidence
or a case of cause and effect. How
ever, this is o said 10 discourage
those who cling to the hope that
rain can be produced in this way,
much less to poke fun" at such as
may make the effort. While the idea
has probably not been sanctioned by
science, some men distinguished for
scientific attachments have not only
declined to pronounce it absurd, but
have even allowed the possibility of
producing rain in this way. But
even if science Joined with the I'M
scientific in %ridiculing these efforts
that would be no conclusive reason
for desisting, since science itself has
yet much to learn, and differs from
empiricism chiefly in that it is sem
sible of that fact. The money nee
essary for making this experiment at
Wichita Falls was raised by pop
Iular subscription" There are times
when subscription lists of this kind
ought to be truly and exceedingly
popular in every community in Tex

WEDNESDAY, JUNE S, 1912.
WE HAVE THE FUNDS-WHY
NOT DO THE WORK?

Ihere is no question but that
paving of u streets with wood
DOCK pavement has added immense.
~ 70 the appearance of our city, to
say nothing of the comfort and O n
venience of our citizens.
Every public spirited citizen will
also agree with The Herald that
the further paving of our streets
Mould be pushed along as fast as
funds car be made available for the
purpose.
After the present paving contract
is completed and the owners of abut
ting property and street railways
pay their quota, there will be OIL
hand a sufficient amount to at least
pave the streets around the market
square and City Hall, and continue
the paving of Twelfth street out
as far as the new county court house.
The court house, when finished,
not only viii be the finest public
building in the city, but one of the
finest in all South Texas, and a
paved street that will enable visi.
tors to each it should be the first
thing for accomplishment in future
paving operations.
The paving around the market
square is also essential. With the
new city building and memorial
fountain and park on the plaza. the
market square will be one of our
show places. The paving Of Twelfth
: street will enable visitors to see.
these ornaments to the city to the
hest advantage.
With this work contracted and I'M
der way, the city car then select the
Z next most desirable street that could
be paved with the funds which will
be available when this work is fin
ished.
Let all good citizens boost for
the paving Of the market square, nd
Twelfth street as far as the new
court house.

PRAYER FOR
THE BABIES
Touching Petition Written by Walter
Rauschenbusch for Milk and Baby
Hygiene Association of Boston.

0 God since thou hast laid the
little children into our arms in ut
ter helplessness, with no protection
save u love, we pray that the
sweet appeal Of their baby hands
may not be in vain. Let no innocent
life in our city be %quenched again
in useless pain through our ignor-
ance and sin. May we who are mo-
theirs or fathers seek eagerly 10 join
wisdom to our love, lest love itself
be deadly when unguided by knowl-
edge. Bless the doctors and nurses,
and all the friends of men. who are
giving of their skill and devotion
to the care of children, If there are
any who were kissed by love in their
own infancy but who have no child
to whom they may give as they have
received, grant them such ~largeness
of sympathy that they nay rejoice
to pay their debt in full to all child
rem who have need of them.
Forgive us, our Father, for the
h~eartlessness OF the past. Grant rs
great tenderness for all babes who
suffer and a growing sense Of the
divine mystery that is brooding in
the soul of every child. Amen.
