INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Spokane Idea For Banding Them Into
City Beautiful Organization.


In Spokane. Wash. where the city
beautiful spirit has been burning
brightly for some years. children $
meeting was held short time ago in
the mayors office. The idea Of band
ing the children Into u Junior city
beautiful organization was that Of
Marie Hornburg. visiting nurse OF tue
associated charities. In giving APP
proval to the plan the mayor offered
the use of his office and then made an
address to the assembled children. To
the small boys he held out the gilt
tering possibility that some of them
might some day become councilmen.
Seeds were given to the children and
1t was announced that committee
would award prizes for the best
flowers grown from them. Miss Horn
burg said In her address. You chill
idren are going to help us have beau
tiful city. and in 80 doing you will have
lots OF fun. will learn how to cara for
flowers. and in the fall some of you
will receive prizes and all Of you will
10 to the interstate fair aud have Il
picnic there. and the way you will 30
will lie In parade. with music. and
with automobiles decorated with gar
lands of roses and of other flowers"
Needless to say the new organization
started out with brilliant promise.

characteristic of what is taking place
every where. and hundreds of thou

annually for this purpose where prsc-

After noting the durability of concrete
pavements comes the conviction that
