For "A Cleaner City
Earnsr.

The slogan for the summer should
be For Cleaner City" There
is no reason why we should not
have the cleanest city in the State
of Louisiana. A little care Oh tho
part of everybody will do the work.
Each citizen can do his part in
this work by attending to the pre-
misses and sidewalks 10 his own
particular locality. We have been
singularly free of mosquitoes, and
this state of affairs eau continue
throughout the summer if little
care is taken to keep all pools and
receptacles emptied of stagnant
water. Do not allow old vessels.
tin cans, etc, to lie around the
yard to catch rain water. Inside
of a very few days after one of
these receptacles catches water
there is a swarm of mosquitoes
coming from it.-Alexandria Town

What Women Can Do

Women, after all, are the chief
molders of civilization. 1t is the
mans place to supply it's material
basis, but it's most Towering is
the product of women's activities.
Rural civilization has Jagged
largely because farm women of all
classes, have had least opportuni-
nifty for united effort, least organ
ization and co-operation-and alas
often, least education.
Saddest Of all ia the fact that tho
educated woman in the country,
finding conditions in the commu-
nifty unattractive, has too often run
away from them to town instead
of setting out to improve them,
has run away from her God-givsn
opportunity for service. Now. of
course, one woman cannot, single
handed, remake community, but
there are thousands and thousands
of neighborhoods (perhaps the
very one in which you live, kind
reader in which one earnest, con-
secratsd, tactful woman could raj
ly her sisters to her and with their
aid literally revolutionize commu-
nifty life.
For one thing, be sure the wo-
luan's club would help get larger
and better schools, for if there is
anything q mother is interested in,
it is the education of her children.
Then, too, the club would doubt
less work the idea of having the
school become a social centsr-a
place for neighborhood gatherings,
lectures, debates = debating club
is q great help to any neighbor-
hood, entertainment, special meet
ings to discuss plans for neighbor-
hood betterm snt, local shows for
exhibits of farm crops, wOman's
work, the boys corn exhibits, the
girls canning work, etc. You may
be sure, too, that the women would
work for better roads and rural
telephones and county fairs and q
better public health service and
school Libraries aud reading rooms
and a score of other needed i'm
provements that your community
may go without for another Gensr-
alton. if we depend on men alone
to do the job.
Men and women were meant to
do team work-side by side, pull
ing together. Mems organizations
can do great deal alone, but they
can do four times more if tho pow
er of women's organizations is adj
ded to theirs. - The Progressive

In these piping times Oh poiiti-
cal charges and innuendo it is to
be expected that anyone attempt
ing to change the old order OF
things will be handled roughly,
aud of course President Wilson,
because of his antagonism to the
"old order of things" and OF his
desire to make this government

is a mark for Republican crltl-
cism. But he has demonstrated
so far that criticism will not

out of bondage to a condition of

deliver the people from the throes
of despair into which the money
mad PACKERS of the Republican
party have plunged them. But
as the people held up the hands of
Moses, so will the hands of Prssi-
dent Wilson have to be held up
by the people in order to the at
tainment of the goal for which he
is striving government by the
