visiting at the home of resident Of
the north part of Argos, and while
taking stroll along Michigan street,
saw a large touring car coming from
the south. The driver pnt on low
speed, and gentleman called to the
aan on the street, "Sir, | congratu-
late you on the beauty of your little
city, Though not a resident there,
this visitor was ready with a re-
sponse, and raising his hand in salute
replied, "Sir, in the name of the
city of Argos, I thank you." The
car gathered speed, and was soon out
of sight. 1t was summer time, and
the lawns all neatly trimmed, with
patches of flowers and shrubbery,
the road graded nicely and sprinkled
just right all through the town. made
it a pleasure to ride through, and
the gentleman In the car wished to
show his appreciation Of the efforts
of the city and the citizens, in keep
ing all neat and tidy.
Could that man read the Argos
Reflector, and note that "The Ar
Cos Improvement Club" has been
organized to make better and more
attractive the little city, he might
wonder, for to him at that time it
was a delight. At the meeting of
this club last week the paving Of
Michigan street from limit to limit
through the town was reported on.
and the committee had been most
successful with its petition. 1t is
certain that the coming summer will
see the street paved, and it is the de-
sire of some that through the resi-
dence portion the center of the
street be parked, with drive ways on
each side, leaving a space for shrub
berry and flowers, that will add much
to the beauty of the already beauti-
full town.
This club has already established
"public comfort room" where
tired women, with tired children,
may go and sit down and rest. Sew
eral other matters are being dis
cussed, and will doubtless be push
ed through.
In Bourbon last week the business
men had banquet, and discussed
the needs of their town. A rest
room was talked of, also place for
q library, where the young people
can congregate, and parents can be
assured the surroundings are proper
and right. Identifying the town was
made prominent. Making it pretty
and inviting for themselves and fol
visitors, who will by their going
away advertise the town. beautiful
Bourbon" is their slogan, and as one
speaker said on this occasion, In
telling of the needs of Bourbon
eve need each other" and urgei
closer union, all standing together
as there is world of strength ir
unity of thought and action.
Bremen has a similar society, and
advance is promised in that place
the coming season. Bremen vii
follow other towns of the vicinity
and Fer streets will be paved, and
in many ways this enterprising LITTLE
city will feel the wave of improve
ment and Identification. Last weel
the Radiator Works were started
with renewed vigor, and business il
on the up grade.
These are but examples of tn,
trend of public sentiment all ovel
the country. Too little attention ha'
been given to such matters, and II
many places the drift has been down
ward, because no one sought to steel
it upward.
The question comes, Does plymouth
need to be wakened up along sim
liar linesi The Commercial club ha
already done much, has more plan
ed, and will doubtless accomplish
much, for the proof is before n
that the men composing this club an
not the kind who fail. They hav
certainly "made good" and can b
