WOMANS EDITION
 (Mrs. A. M. Bo1row)
 The Womans' Edition of a news paper is as scarce as the bloom on century plant, and it's existence is as fleeting as that of a 'sun flake on the river.'
 The motto of Womans' Edition should be the old Romanesque Gladi- torial last words, Dying we salute you" But short lived as this edition will be, 1t has made a discovery, and 1t, has dug up the secret skeleton in the newspaper family. Listen! That high, smooth sounding saying 'sunn- ing a, newspaper" is all bluff It is mis-fitting misnomer. The newspaper does no running-the shoe is on the other foot-the paper stands still; and even the subscribers have been known to run away.
 the stunning" is done by the editor and staff, the business manager. ad- ,versising manager, the contributors, The editor and staff of this Womans' Edition have been doing a prize Mar athon Sprint, that has exceeded all speed limits, and if the mileage were measured by a cyclometer it would almost girdle the globe.

 the "editor's easy chair' ought to be re-christened, as it has outgrown the sleepy hollow" days.
 Here's the Graphic group, who va cated, and allowed the women behind the pencils to enter; this was another case of running" we ran it over them and they ran away from us.
 City Beautiful Club.
 The name "City Beautiful is made un of words of an old coinage, but they are placed in new and sugges- tive fashion, which seems to show that a town becomes a city before tho beautiful appears.
 The basic aspirations of City Beautiful Clubs are to make the vteiage, town or city blossom as the rose. to keep it as clean as new min. tn make it as flourishing as green bay tree. A City Beautiful Club shows on it's face. that the women are nosing around and sniffing at civ fc conditions; and that they nave zone out into the open to fix up and tidy the place. This outdoor, open <ate field is not new one, the first recordede recruit was Eve, when she cleaned up the Garden of Eden-t was a clean sweep and took every thing before it.
 If the ordinance requiring the rum ming at large of live stock had nave been enforced by the first founders and that willy, wandering old serpent had have been hauled off to the pound there would have been no great snake storv to crawl down the ages. From this great blunder it is plain to DC seen. that the safest way to do this civic act is. first to form City Beau tiful Club, next tie up the anlmais' then lay out the town, and invite nm migration. Early symptoms or CIVIC nride can surely be detected In the story of the eccentric old woman Who has been immortalized by Mother Goose. We refer to the industrious old sky scraper, who made perlious and painstaking move to sweep the cob webs from the sky. Like all good housekeepers. she began her cleaning crusade at the top. her ann wos high. which is always commend able.
