The Origin of Gansnen in Our Great
Cities.

In the. DIARY of a Cop,' published
in the April American Magazine, ap-
pears the following passage show
ing the origin of gangmen:
''The gangmen start as boys in the
tenement house districts. The kids
run in punches and fight each other.
The gang that wins out holds sway
and becomes a desperate and hard
crowd. Even before they drop the
curtains (put on the first pair of long
trousers) they get to running chances
with the crooked game by robbing
drunken men. The first watch they
get they find it easy to turn into
money at a paWnbroker's. If a cop
sees a kid leaving a paWnbroker's
he knows what is doing. If he
goes in the shop to ask what about it
the paWnbroker offers to slip him a
little change. If the cop doesn't take
the money the FagIn runs to his
district leader The district leader
either persuades cop to drop
the case or has him shot off to a
beat where he will find nothing but
trouble.
.sfThe young gangman never works.
You can see him standing around the
corner saloons and cigar stores and
pool rooms in every election district
in the city, He gets to know all the
gamblers and crooks, and when he
is twenty he doesn't mind trying a
footpad job if the street is dark and
clear. AS he works for the party
on election day he can always get
bail if he is arrested. II he makes
a cleanup on a Job. a lawyer who
stands in with the district leader
shakes him down for the most OF
the money and the politician gets
a drag on the fee. 1t doesn't take
him many years to get in the gun
man class.
Monk Eastman, Humpty Jackson,
Chick Trigger, Big Jack zelig, and
the rest of them started that way.
They always had protection, and
when they got in trouble had bail
and lawyers ready for them. They
will cripple a man for life for twenty
five dollars and kill one for a hun
dred.''

"A Simple Solution.

Some people wonder why this town
stands still, while other towns grow.
Some of these people live here. but
trade in New Orleans, or Chicago,
or some other city.
They earn their meney here, and
spend it somewhere else.
II they raised oats and fed them
to another mans horse would they
wonder why their own horse died?
Il they make money here ard spend
it in some other town should they
ask what is the matter with this one?
There isn't anything the matter
with this toWn-but there is consid-
cradle the matter with some Of its
people.

plan for Exterminating sparrows.

The latest scheme for getting rid
of sparrows has been to steam oats
until soft and soak them in graln-al-
cohol or whisky for a couple OF
hours, and then scatter the grain
where the birds will find it. They
soon become helplessly into1ic ated
and are easily caught. During the
winter of 1911-12 many hundreds OF
the birds were so captured in Grand
Rapids, Michigan.

Movement Of Flood crests Recorded

For the convenience Of the United
States engineers in estimating the
probable duration Of future high water
in the Mississippi river, and for de-
termining at. what time a flood crest
should arrive at points along the
river, Capt G. o. Sheriff., in charge
of the government engineers office
at New Orleans, has prepared a hy-
geographic chart, which shows at a
glance the time past crests have
taken to travel from Cairo to the
Gulf. The chart offers an interest
ing study of the movement OF the
flood crests at different times and
under different conditions. 1t also
shows just how long. crevasses at
different points have delayed the
crest, thus giving an index of what
might be expected from future breaks
in their vicinity.
The chart is the first of It's kind
ever compiled under the regime Of
the Mississippi River Commission,
and it is perhaps the most accurate
index OF the behavior of flood crests
which ever has been made.

Al, important Convention.

Plans are being made for the meet
ing of the National Drainage Con-
gress to be held at st. Louis April 10,
Il and II, and an attendance of from
5000 to 5000 delegates is expected.
The object of the convention is to
crystalline sentiment into a national
demand, which the legislators at
Washington cannot ignore, that the
government take immediate steps to
protect the lives and property of
its citizens from disastrous floods,
storms and tides.
The accomplishment of the objects
Of the National Drainage Congress
probably means more for the develop
ment OF the country along all lines of
industry than any other question be-
fore the public today, and will be of
inestimable direct benefit and profit
to the Atlantic and Gulf states, as
well as to those in the entire Missis-
sippi valley.
The purpose of the meeting at St.
Louis is to have the congress of the
United States take immediate action
to create a National Drainage Com
mission, with ample powers and
funds Immediately available to evolve
and put into effect a comprehensive
national plan for:
/. The protection of the public Wel-
fare by the hesdrainage and reclamation
of the 75,00Qg000 acres Of swamp and
overflowed Mnds in the United States,
and their utilization for agricultural
purposes
2. The protection, by drainage and
reclamation, of the public health,
which is constantly menaced by the
existence Of these sWamps.
3. rhe protection, by leyee con-
struction and other means, of the
people and their lives, homes and
lands from floods, storms and tides.
4. The protection of the financial
interests of the United States, the
various. states and the individual land
owners by cooperation and an equa-
Bile sharing of the expense of carry
ing out this plan in proportion to
the benefits received.
David r. Francis, former governor
of Missouri, is president of the Ma
tional Drainage Congress. Edmund 7.
Perkins, of Chicago, who was in
charge OF the Chicago office Of the
10. IS. Reclamation Service for several
years, chairman Of the national
executive committee, and one Of the
vice presidents is Colonel William G.
Gergas, the chief sanitary officer Of
the Panama canal zone, who accepted
the position by special permission
from the secretary of war,

If You Want to See This Town Grow.


If you want to see this town grow,
remember you are a part OF it and
that it's growth depends as much on
you as on yonr neighbors. Don't get
the idea that the. future prosperity
Of the town rests with a few, for il
is the business of the many. Above
all, don't criticize those who are try
ing to upblfld the community and dc
nothing yourself. They at least have
the proper spirit, and Just as long as
you deny them your support, just that
much harder their work will be.
Be a booster for the town and lend
your cooperation to those who had
the nerve to start first. 1t is never
too early to start and 1t is never toe
late to begin. S.

Arthur There have been six Pres

(By special request.

And do what a young man may;
And | didn't believe a thing
That the parsons have to say.

That gives us blood like fire,
Then filings us into hell because
We answer the call Of desire.

And the laws of the world are nil;
For the bad man is he who is caught
And cannot foot his bill

For all of the simple joys
That belong with a house and a

And brood OF girls and boys.
I married a girl with health
And virtue and spotless fame

had been sweethearts for some time,
but her parents had forbade him to
come on the place. His mother left
