CITY PROMOTION
AND HOW 70 GROW
LET EVERYONE EVERY one DO THEIR PART TO BUILD Up
AND BOOSTsGRAND. RAPIDS

Growth, advance in population pros
perity and civic advantages. is the
dream OF every community. The inn
portance of a town is gagged by the
outside world by its figures OF popu-
Iation. Every progressive man is anx-
ious to see his town grow greater, con
fident that at the same time it must
grow better.
Where SO many towns are compet-
ing for the same end ,1nany of these
hopes must be disappointed. If
some places gain, others VIII remain
stationary or lose. If a community
remains Indifferent to its own ad-
vancement, the chances are that it
viii remain stationary, while its
young and enterprising men so else
where.
The problem of what practical
things can be done to make town
advance in population and prosp eri-
ty is one vitaly important to our
own community. How shall we get
our share of the splendid advance
that has been accomplished by so
many places, which has multiplied
the value of all property and of ey-
cry solvent business, and secured
many public improvements aaId com
forts of living not otherwise to be
had? .
This question was put recentlyby

WORKING FOR
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
EVERYBODY SHOULD CLEAN UP, PAINT Up AND
70. +. -. .@.. DO THEIR PART

The death of so prominent a news
paper man as William RockhnI Mel
son, publisher Of the Kansas City
Star, always raises the question
among newspaper workers and read
ers, as to how such great journal
istic success had been achieved.
One reason why the Star has had
so deep a hold in its home constitu-
tency, has been the fact that it was
such a persistent worker for local
Improvements. Street paving, parks,
art galleries, these were only a few
of the things fer which the Star
labOred in and out Of season.
Public improvements came slowly.
The majority of the people in the
average community would naturally
be contented with rather sloyenly
surroundings. They enjoy spruce
ness, neatness and handsome archi-
lecture, if provided ready made. But
as TO improving their own properties
or paying taxes for public improve
ments, they are 10th to help.
But every place has it's men with
la vision. They see the defects In a

towns appearance and realize what
more adequate surroundings would
mean. In the fore front of these
men with large hopes is-almost al
ways the home newspaper. 1t usually
is not a heavy tax payer. BIT it
pays it's fair share, either directly,
or indirectly in rentals which en-
ables real estate owners to pay the
taxes.
Agitation for public improvements
would not get far without the news
papers. While the majority OF the
people Of most towns are Indifferent
to civic beauty, or 10th TO give up
few dollars extra tax, the newspa-
per has faith III the future and
discomfort with what is sordid or
primitive.
Only rarely is the field big enough
to win any such reward as came 10
the distinguished publisher OF the
Kansas City Star. But the neWspa-
pers should be able, and usually are
able, TO look about to this and that
| permanent possession, and feel that
they had a large share III winning it.

The first services in the new Po-

Ting the school building was com
menced on Aug. s, 1914, and has
been going On rapidly ever since,
1t will probably be a month before
the building is entirely completed.
Within the next six weeks, it is
expected that the formal dedication
of the school and sisters building
will take place.
The new building is a handsome
On the first floor are two
school rooms and the sisters resi-
dence. On the second floor are two

and he had the supervision of the
work of construction.

$4,000 FIRE
AT NEKOOSA
Fronn WednesdaYis Daily.


Fire of unknown origin destroyed
the machine shed and contents of
H. H. Voss at Nekoosa yesterday af-
ternoon and caused loss of approx
fmately $4,000.
The machine shed is located NEAR
the store on the main street oe the
Village. The hsed, which WAS worth
about $10O, was destroyed and the
contents OF the shed consisting OF
farm machinery and a motorcycle
were either destroyed or so badly
damaged as to make them practical
ly useless. The loss ON the machin-
cry stored in the shed viii reach
about 81 800. The machinery was
insured. The building was owned
by S. L. Steven of Nekoosa.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Frank Boles at.about.2:4 0'oclock.and
the village fire department worked
until after o'clock before the fire
had been entirely put out.
The only solution of the cause oil
the fire seems to be in the fact
that there was a high wind blow
ING and it is Thought that sparks
from a ,near- by rubbish fire entered
the shed, which was more or less oil
were four barrels of oil.near where
were four barrls ofe ool near where
the fire started and they quickly
caught fire. Owing to the intense
heat and rapid spread Of the fire
caused by the burning oil, It was
impossible to save any of the con
tents of the building.

CLEAIENCY SHOWN FOUR.
X. :. Bowman. of Charleston, First
to Receive Full Pardon.

Columbia. April 12.--For the first
time since he has been chief eXecu-
tive Governor Manning this morning
issued clemency in four cases, grant
ing one full pardon. one parole and
two combinations of cases. All of
the cases were passed on favorably
by the board of pardons at their
meeting on Saturday. The full par
don was given to R.. S. Bowman, OF
Charleston, who has served his SEN
tence and whose letter from New
York city to the governor asking for
his restoration to citizenship was
published few weeks ago.
The following were the reco4men-
dations of the pardon board onSthese
cases:
State vs. R. S. Bowman, Charles
ton county, arson. Facts show that
this party was convicted of arson and
has served his full sentence. He was
only IA years of age when the crime
was committed, and he asks that his
citizenship be restored. We recon-
mend that this request be granted
Full pardon granted by the governor.
State VS. Willie Green. This is a
case of a boy who forged an order for
40 cents on a store. He was sentenc-
ed the minimum under the law Of one
year. and has already served seven
months. We recommend that he be
pardoned without delay" This is
little boy, only ii years of age, in
Marlboro county and the man on
whom he forged the order for 40
cents was one of the petitioners ask
ing for his pardon. The governor
commuted the sentence to eight
months, which will release the boy
in few days.
State VS. Sarah Rice, Union coun-
ty, vagrancy. Sentence four months
in county Jail. We recommend that
this girl be paroled upon condition
that she be sent to rescue home in
Greenville or elsewhere to remain
there for period Of ninety days.
The governor issued parole in this
case on the conditions named.
State VS. Sarah Moore, Richland
county, arson. The solicitor and
Judge both recommend that this SEN.
tence be commuted from ten to two
years, in which recommendation the
board joins." The governor commut-
ed the sentence to two years.
