ka. March 10th, 1915,
The Editor, Mansfield Mirror,
Mansfield, Mo.
Dear Sir:
am in receipt Of copy of the
Mansfield Mirror and as an early
one time resident of your coun-
try would be glad to offer a few
words of encouragement to your
Young Mems Highway Assocla-
tien that | have noticed in the
Scientific American.
Next to the father and mother
of US all, the deepest and grand
est of human emotions is the
love of the land that gave us
birth, it is an enlargement, an
exaltation, of all the tenderest
and strongest sympathies OF
kindred and of home and in all
the years that have passed the
whole of my thoughts have been
of the day when circumstances
will permit me to visit it, and it
will surely give me great pleas
ure to shake hands with a young
enterprising, country loving
group of citizens such as | see
in this article in the Scientific
American.
The word American sounds
good to me, as | have travelled a.
round a good deal, like some who
let their arrangements get the
better of them, thinking that
things are better just beyond, all
of which is bad mistake.
We free Americans have the
cream of all the worlds fair
lands, | am proud to believe and
state, and especially | remember
in the vicinity of Mansfield. Most
all of my relatives are there, and
my advice to them has always
been to hold on to the good old
home, until | have at least found
some place better, and I am com.
PEELED to say that l have not
found it yet.
In closing these lines I beg the
Young Mems Good Roads Club
of Mansfield to accept my thanks
for remaining quiet and content
ed to look after the country's S
welfare and the upbuilding ol
Mansfield, which looks better tc
me than AIaska's gold with its
long, frozen winter, or all of Eu
rope with its wars.
l shall pay you visit in the
near future and hope to find eacf
and every smiling face that | SEE
in the American as deeply inter
ested as at the present time, and
also ask you to accept my bes
regards and fullest wishes fo1
good health, success and pros
perity. Such being / remain.
Fraternally yours,
w. H. GARNER.

we, LIle CltiGelIS VI MdhouCiu,
the Gem City of the Ozarks, have
a city of which we have reason to
feel proud. We have climate in
which vegetation. flowers and
shrubbery thrive visible evi
dence of which may be seen in
every lawn and garden Of the
city. We have all the natural
advantages required to make this
city one of the beauty spots OF
the great state of Missouri
While we have the ground work
for a city beautiful, and have i'm
proved it with miles of cement
walks and much park work, to
maintain this desirable standard
it is necessary that at least once
a year the city should be given a
thorough house cleaning. The
thrifty housewife would never
think of permitting her house to
go more than an entire year with
outa thorough cleaning from cell
lar to garret, and thrifty citl'
zenship should exercise the same
degree of pride in the cleanliness
and appearance Of the city.
Now, therefore, I, F. H. Riley,
mayor OF the city of Manstield'
in order to encourage and pro-
mote a better observance OF such
worthy efforts, do hereby deslg'
nate and set aside Monday and
Tuesday, May and 2, as clean
up days, and do urge all citizeos
to make all possible effort toward
the removal of the winters ac'
cummulation of debris and filth,
cleansing and renovating all pre-
misses. streets and alleys of rub
bish, and opening and keeping
open all blocked sidewalks and
streets. Let us put on a spring
coat of cleanup" Death to un

The Republicans of Missouri
are most fortunate in having a
citizen of the character and quail
itications of Hon. Thos. j. Atkins,
of St. Louis, to be voted on at the
August primaries. The an.
nouncement OF his candidacy for
U. S Senator appears in this is,
sue Of the Mirror.
Mr.. Atkins was born in Cedar
county, Missouri, and lived all OF
his life in Southwest Missouri
until he moved to St. Louis eigh
teen years ago. He engaged in
the mercantile and banking bu-
siness at Humansville. and was
President IF one of the banks in
that town. In 1898 he was cleo
ted Chairman of the Republican
State Com nittee and moved tc
St. Louis. He never closed the
State headquarters until the Re
publicans carried the state.
10 1904 no was eie .ea a mem
Der of the Republican Nationa
Committee. His his ideals o.
political work attracted the at
tention of the national leaders
throughout the country. He was
appointed Assistant Treasurer O
the United States by Presiden
Roosevelt, and four years late1
reappointed, and served in thi:
position over FIVE years, and wai
then appointed Postmaster of th'
city of St. Louis by Preslden
Taft. He was known while Post
master of St. Louis, as one OF tn
most efficient and courteous ot1l
calls in the entire country. Th
employees in that Office speak o
him today with affection.
Mr.. Atkins is a man OF the pee
pie and has displayed exceptions
ability in the various impOrtan
positions which he has held. Dun
ing his entire public life he ha
stood for the highest ideals i
the public service. He is clear
capable and honest He enjoy
a national acquaintance whic
would enable him to enter at one
upon the active duties of tn
Senate in the event of his elet
tion.
Mr.. Atkins is a decided protee
zionist, but does not favor tart
duties high enough to afford
J.. shelter to monopoly, or To-
enough to invite ruinous comp
tition. He believes that conse
: vative protection will build u
American industries, and max
possible the employment of /
merican labor at remuneratiy
wages. He has always favore
the policy of building up our ow
