TOWN SELLS CEMENT
WALK FOR ADVERTISING
Authorities of Hope, Ark, Have Novel
Scheme.

Wishing to extend cement side
walk distance of three or four blocks
to the new fair ground and having no
fund for the purpose the town Of Hope,
Ark, constructed the extension by
selling each outlined block of 1t as
advertising space. A plat was made
of the walk, showing 1t divided into
numbered squares. A few of the
squares were retained ON which to
place short history Of the town, Civ
Ing names Of prominent men. various
Industries, population at different
dates and the names of county officers
at the time, and the remainder were
sold for advertising.
In most cases the advertising was
done by forming the letters In the top
coat before the final set, but few OF
the advertisers furnished aluminium
letters and numerals about three inches
high. Although the sidewalk has now
been laid for some time, the outlines OF
the letters are said to be as when first
made.

Is desirable TO have under public con-
troll some space for baseball and foot
ball, even though 1t has to be little
out of the way.
So it is that villages as we'll as cities
should give heed to the need for public
grounds and should make provision for
their realization. Yet their character
should be very different from those of
the cities. There should be no attempt
at formal terracing, no Introduction of
classic fountains or of poor monu-
ments and no use of carpet bedding.
They should be made useful and at

SYSTEMATIC TEACHING OF
HYGIENE IS NECESSARY
Individual Attention to Child's Habits
Will Teach Cleanliness.

Systematic instruction in the princi-
pies of hygiene is necessary to keep
pupils from becoming lost in the null
titude OF details. This instruction
should be founded on a solid knowl-
edge of the structure and functions OF
the different organs of the body and of
the principles governing metabolism
and microbic infection. AS long as the
people Of countries like the United
States persistently follow hygienic fads
and fail to discriminate between ar
rant quacks and reputable medical
practitioners it is an exceedingly short
sighted practically that desires to ex-
clude from our school courses in by
giene those fundamentals of anatomy,
physiology and bacteriology which
throw the broad guiding lines through
the maze of hygienic practice.
Individual attention should be given
to the hygienic habits of the child.
Toothbrush clubs, fresh air clubs and
other organized hygienic efforts are
very valuable in fixing correct living
habits. Much can be done to develop
a right attitude toward hygienic ques-
lions and to fix the habit of properly
regulating local environment by COOL
hygienic conditions In the schoolrVoth
and in the home.
The causes of sickness and the meth
cd Of preventing 1t should be taught
in spite of the objections of those who
insist that 1t is wrong to instill into the
childish mind ideas of disease. 1t is not
the teaching of hygiene in schools. but
the presence of illness and death in the
homes. that gives sensitive children
morbid ideas of disease and DEATH

Richie at Hygiene Congress.

THE ATTRACTIVE RAILWAY STATION AT
WEST POINT, N. Y.
Or wearied shopper, coming from the
bistering. dust choking city, to catch
n grateful breath of GOODNESS under the
overarching shade and feel that this
IL home in the truest sense of the
word.
That such results are within the
reach of every community has been
strlkingly shown at Upper Montclair,
N, j. In the expression OF the civic
spirit of this town, officially the First
ward of Montclair. one of the most eff
fectiye agencies is the Mountain so
ciety. Dependent wholly upon the vol
untary support of the citizens them
selves. which support has always been
generously given. il has toiled with
energy, judgment and unselflsh pur
pose.
The Mountain society was quick to
see that the only means of reaching the
highest attainment in identifying the
approach TO the town was by cordial
cooperation with the railway company,
upon which the growth of the com
munity largely depends. The corpora
ton promptly met the society half.
way, and together the two strove, with
the result that this part of the town is
today pleasure TO the eye.
A charming booklet, written by a cit
lien of Montclair, not an officer of the
Mountain society, gives expression to
this spirit and contains number of
views of the railway station and its
surroundings.
Just over the bank of the brook on
the east side n screen of vines hides
an unslghtly spot otherwise uncontrol-
liable. The vines, from the green of
early spring to the scarlet OF autumn,
form an effective shield, and the pop
lar trees recently planted will supple
ment and augment It. On the avenue
north of the grounds a tunnel OF green
is formed by the dropping limbs that
reach to the waters OF the brook flow
ing here from under the bridge across
the avenue, winding between iris
grown banks through the upper end
of the grounds, thence under the rail-
road embankment aud reappearing in
the easterly side.
The grounds back of the station have
for many years been cared for by the
Mountain society, the railroad lending
aid in grading and furnishing soil and
labor. AT one time. years ago. this
parklike space almost came into the
possession OF the society for pubic
park use,

they should harmonic with one an
other In respect to size, character of
architecture, material and color. They
should have ample grounds about them.
About all these grounds there should
be plantations of trees and shrubs.
The buildings should be connected
with their sites, the boundaries mark
ed and the service areas screened. For
all this 1t is best to depend upon the
native trees and shrubs or such exotics
as will be in perfect accord with them,
and all the shrubbery masses should
possess simplicity, breadth and har-
mony.
In every village there Is need for pub
lie grounds. There may be square
at the business center. Another may
form the central feature of the public
group. Connected with the school
there should be an adequate play
ground accessible TO the children of
the village at all seasons and at all
times. If the village is small this one

The evolution of the railway station

HOME TRADE NOTES.

Would you hinder the further
concentration of wealth in great
cities and all the resultant evils
you will find that the simple
principle of patronizing home in
situations instead of foreign ones
will work wonders.
JVst so long as the merchants
OF the country insist on carrying
on business in the manner that
their fathers did twenty years
ago just so long will the cata-
logue houses continue to in
crease their patronage.

said, when the majority of the dele
gates had gone.
Answering Governor Stubs of Kan
sas, Mr.. Gillespie said the Taft forces
held 494 LIZ uncontested votes and the
Roosevelt forces AGA IL, while more
than 200 were in contests. This sit
uatton, he said, had resulted in the
agreement to divide the delegation.
Mr.. Gillespie declared Gov. Hadley
had arbitrarily tried to adjourn the
convention at z o'clock after the
Roosevelt instructions were passed.
I'VE then refused to recognize such
action and took a recess to meet at
the Planters Hotel at 1880 a. M" said
Gillespie.
He claimed Governor Hadley had
never put the motion" to adjourn and
that fifty or seventy-f1ve of those left
in the haIl went to the Planters hotel
and there carried on the convention
which elected the coDtesting Taft
delega ties.
Pressed by Governor Stubbs, Mr.. Gil
lespie admitted the Roosevelt forces
had majority in the state convention
when the Hadley delegates were
elected and that each of the delegates
had received a good majority of votes.
But we claim that there were lbs
Roosevelt men in the convention who
had no legal right there" he said.

Mrs. Judson Harmon

of the land she will not be a stranger

sition Of lady of the White House.
She is a charming woman, gracious
and handsome, and equally as demo-
cratic as her husband. Nor has Gov
ernor Harmon, who is a minister
son, any the@best of her in birth, for
she is a Baptist deacon's daughter.
Both are members Of the Baptist de-
nomination.
Mrs. Harmon is taking a keen in
terest in the campaign. She doesn I
deny that she'd like to become mis-
tress Of the White House. And if she
should go there, who knows but that
she might help her husband in solving
some Of the knotty problems of state
She has always helped him and he ap-
preciates it. TT Is q great satisfac-
ton and a wonderful help to a man TO
have wife who can be his chum, as
sociate and best advisor" he recently
