There was some discussion regard
ing the possibilities of improvement
of the extension to Rand park--the
new addition, just below the bluff.
Several. members expressed wish
that police officer might regularly

park is inadequately lighted. No def,

Civic League Appoints Committee to
Look Into Proposition Of secur,
ing Supervisor for This
Work.
OTHER CITIES USE PLAN
Question Of Policemen for Rand Park
Is AIso Raised at Meeting
on Saturday AZ
ternoon.

The Civic League held It's regular
monthly meeting in the r. w. G. A.
building Saturday afternoon. Miss
Younker. the treasurer, reported sos
In the treasury and that 113 members
had paid annual dues to date Miss
Eta Ayres reported the ordering OF
the rubbish cans, the same being al
most finished and ready for placing.
I The general topic for the day was
school gardens and the problem Of the
vacant lot. Mrs. James Young told
OF the work which was done by the
COMMITTEE of the Civic League last
year of which committee she was
/ chairman. The result of the effort
made last year was that 100 gardens
were reported for inspection. She
spoke of the policy which had been
most successful in other cities, that is
to have trained supervisor who has
some knowledge of agriculture and
who would give time to the work and
instruct the children on the principles
of gardening.
Mr.. O. B. Towne spoke along the
same line telling in particular Of his
own personal experience and observa-
tion of the conduct of school gardens.
He said vacant lots or garden plots in
back yards were the first things to
jsecure, then a supervisor who could
direct the children. Supervised play
naturally follows. After the work in
the gardens each day the children
could have games and sports. One
half of vacant lot could be given to
the gardens, the other half to ball or
tennis.

Would Supervise Play.

In Council Bluffs the boys secre-
tary Of the Y. NJ. G. A. was the gar
den supervisor and his acquaintance
with the boys proved feeder for the
association. The garden products
could be sold to help defray the ex.
pense.
Following Mr.. Towne's address the
members of the league held general
discussion as to whether or not it is
feasible to undertake the securing Of
a supervisor for this work. A com.
mittee was appointed to look into the
matter and to see what vacant lots
are available or practicable for this
purpose.
The committee named was Mrs.
George Merriam, Miss Anne B. Davis,
Mrs. James Young and Mrs. James B..

MEN AND OFFICE

The Primary Elections which have
just passed suggest the thought that
comes regularly after elections, that
our system of getting men in office or
rather the system that men use to
get into Office is not the best for our
welfare generally. 1t is true that a
few men are yet solicited to run for
office but they are comparatively few
and it is believed that many of them
are back of the solicitation which
comes to them. 1t would indeed be
wholesome thing if number of the
best citizens in any community would
call upon some man well fitted to run
for Office and get his consent to allow
his name to be placed on the ticket
and consent to serve the people.
OF course the argument against this
is that this is free country and any
one may run for office who sees fit
and who has a semblence of the neces-
sary qualifications, but if the better
class of citizens in any county or
state in sufficient number would take
an interest in the selection of candi-
dates for office it would in a reason
ably short time have wholesome eff
feet on the reduction of campaign ex-
penses and keep many people from
running for Office who under the
present system think that they have
a good chance to win.
The amount of expense necessary to
run for office unnder present condi-
tions is unreasonable There ought
to be some way of reducing it and in
some instances cutting it out altoge-
Their. 1t is said that the old convention
method of nomination had its evil. 1t
is certain that the primary method
has its evil also. The evils of either
method could be greatly reduced if
the citizenship generally would exer-
else some concern about these things
We show enough interest in candi-
dates after they have announced but
we do not show enough interest before
they announce.

The Tcr-erire.

When the tangesine orange was
first introduced into China, it was so
highly esteemed that it was given as
a gift 10 the mandarins, and hence
became known as the mandarin or
ange. Our tangerine is simply a
descendant OF the ancient mandarin
orange.
In the last few years there seems
to have been n falling off in the popu-
larity of these dainty, little glove or
anges, as they used to be called. Pos
sibly 1t is because the modern navel
orange, with its sweetness and de-
lightful flavor, Is SO plentiful
Even so, the appetizing little tanger-
Inc ought to have a bigger place than
it has at present. 1t would seem that
the very fact that the tangerine skin
peels off so readily would insure its
popularity. But there are fashions
in food, as well as in clothes, and the
wheel OF fashion revolves from time
10 time. Perhaps when bustles are
in again the tangerine will be daily
visitor TO our tables.

Only Then Was He Agreeable, Testk
fled Wife-Soueht Divorce From
Her Silent Spouse.

We read of him in three places in
the dispatches of the day The first
case was where a man kissed his wife
against her will, which made her so
mad that she had him arrested for
assault and battery, and the court
sentenced him to thirty days in jail
Next case was where a woman had
her husband arrested for getting
drunk and abusing her. When before
the court, here is what she said:
MY mans a fine man when he's
sober The trouble is he earns money
and spends 1t on liquor. The only
time he's behaved himself was when
he was 1T working and got no money.
/ have an income and can support the
family ! wish you'd make him Quit
work"
All right" said the Judge. And
he sentenced the husband not to work
for thirty days.
The third case was a suit for d.
vorce, where the wife charged that
her husband would not speak to her.
He would eat his meals without a
word, then sit down with a paper and
read without looking at her or speak
Ing to her. SO 1t has been going on
for long time. OF course the court
granted the wife a divorce. Having

EARTH WORM OF MUCH VALUE
Humble Assistant of Asriculturist
Has Not Hitherto Been Given the
Credit II Deserves

That the earth worm has some pur-
pose in life, aside from acting as fish
bait, chicken feed or even being man
gled in the interests OF science, is
now admitted by the observers who
have been studying him in his rela-
tions to the world They discover
that he is a drain digger and practical
lighting engineer.
At any rate 1t is now definitely es-
tablished that his holes in damp soil
materially assist in carrying off the
surplus moisture and admit light, two
things which go far towards making
that soil productive for the farmer
Furthermore, In digging these holes
the earth worm brings the dirt to
the surface in finely pulverized con-
dition. 1t is a rich loan and thus pre-
pared is extremely fertile.
OF course a single worm Is incap-
able of depositing a considerable
amount of such soil. but. as there
are $4,000 of them to an acre of
ground, the scientist figures that the

ton amounts to so pounds for every
acre which they inhabit. This scat
tered over the leaves and mold al
ready there has distinct fertilizing
vafue, which, In conjunction with the
enect OF light and drainage already
noted, would seem to entitle the earth
worm to a respect which he has not
hitherto enjoyed.
