Never has any movement been
as general over every section of
country as is the good roads move
ment and not only is it general
over Louisiana but over the whole
South in fact over the whole Uni
ted States.
The whole country is beginning
TO learn that it costs a great deal
more to be without good roads
than it costs to build them and
every progressive community is
after them.

The Song of the Booster.

If you like this old town best,
Tell'em sol
If you'd have her lead the Fest,
Help her grow!
When there's anything to do,
Let the people count on you;
You'll feel bully when you're through
Don't you know?
If you're used to giving knocks,
Change your style;
Throw bouquets instead of rocks,
Fol while.
Let the other other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would ghost
Meet his hammer with boast,
And smile.
When the. stranger from afar
Comes along,
Tell him who and what you are
Good and strong
Needn't flatter, never bluff,
Tell the truth; it's quite enough
Join the boosters-they're the stuff;
We belong.

A CITY BEAUTIFUL.

Within the past few weeks. tree
planting has received an impetus
in Natchitoches that has gladdened
the MANY who are interested IN
CIVIC improvement.
And what citizen is really not
interested in civic improvement,
though tastes and ideas NAV differ
as to what may be considered civic
improvement.
q. A few years ago a movement
was started by a number of public
spirited ladies for the regular OBJ
serving of an Arbor day by plant
ing trees starting with Normal
Avenue, where they thought it
was most needed for the benefit
of the school children, the plans
being to continue until all the
streets received the sam e at
tention. Just about the time, the
trees grew large enough to give a
grateful shade on hot days; for
some rhyme or reason an ordln-
ance was passed and they were
cut down, as were many others
that were a great comfort on prl-
vate premises.
After a few years another at
tempt was made by these same
ladies to plant trees on piece OF
city property at the head of Front
Street. which they wanted to con-
vet into a Chlldren's Playground.
Though the trees were securely
boxed and new ones replanted sew
eral times, they were finally dis
Outraged as after an expenditure
of a good sum of money they
could not afford to continue playing
it out as there was no stock law
and cattle continued to destroy a.
fast as they planted. So they de
sisted.
Well after leaving their mos
beloved idea for civic improve
ment lay dormant for severa
years, it awakened again thi
winter and tree planting was dom
once more and now the ladies fee
encouraged as the city fathers AM
business people have all joined il
with them most cordially as the.
realize there is no way in which
city can be made more beautiful
than by an abunda nce o
shade trees, that they add to til
GOODNESS in summer, tend to breal
hot waves and serve as powerful
protection against fire. The valu
of trees in checking great fire
