Dear Review:
AS so many of our friends wished

afternoon of our departure was very
rainy. Goose lake was Full Of ducks
that few up and lighted elsewhere a:
the train was passing. We were met
at the depot by James Horr. who con-
veyed us in his auto to his pleasant
home. Saturday evening after supper
Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Horr and ! autoed
to Sioux City, distance of Is miles,
where we did some trading. From
MOrningside we had paved streets for
five miles to the city. The street cars
and autos compel one to be on the
lookout constantly in driving car.
We got back at II p. m.
On Sunday we partook OF lovely
Easter dinner prepared by Miss Carrie
Patton and Mrs. M. A. Horr at James
Horrs home and in the afternoon we
autOed to Graceland cemetery at
MOrningsde, where Mrs. James Horr
is buried. This is lovely cemetery
and kept up in fine condition. We left

right into the sleeping car, where we
spent comfortable night and got up

cars there as usual and went on to
Mcintosh, where we left the flyer for
local train as the flyer did not stop
at Thunder Hawk, our destination,
which was about the fourth station
from MCINTOSH. The first afternoon all
along the way coming to Bronson
some fields Of small grain were up
and in other fields men were out work

had reached the level country of Da.

the eye could reach. We missed the
hills and the trees and the splendid
scenery of good old Iowa. 1t is tire.

Missouri river at Mobridge. passing
through the Indian reservation, there
were small houses. but very little land

fields and a great deal of stock rails

The Town 1eautifu, Movement. No2.

This is an age of tourists and tour
ing. People keep their eyes open as
they pass through towns, anxious to-
see what refinement and civic spirit
they can find. A town that beauties
its public streets and has attractive
residence grounds draws interest from
all over state.
Towns ought to take the greatest
pains to beautify the streets through
which this stream OF motor travel is
passing, also to clean up neighborhoods
through which railroad tracks run.
When motorists find dilapidated build
ings. i'll kept grounds. stables decor
ated with circus posters. etc, they
carry away disagreeable impression.
The view from the railroad car is
usually one of tumbled down chicken
coops, piles of ashes and rubbish.
Property owners perhaps say to them
selves that the strangers that pass by
won't know who it is that keeps such
a looking place. All the same they
know the name of the town.
Many towns, realizing the importance
of the effect produced on travellers,
take pains to make little park spots
near railroad stations and along main
streets. 1t is astonishing what change
can be made in dingy square by
planting a few trees and shrubs.
Every town should have committee
to look specially after the appearance
of these arteries of travel. The owners
of property abutting on them should
be urged to cooperate in a general
cleanup and Identification movement.
If a railroad won't clean the rubbish
out of its right of way. the tOwnspeo'
pie could better afford to do it them
selves than let it remain :
