BASEBALL FOR DELoiT
Booster Meeting Of Fans at DeIoit Re-
suits in Amply Financing Splen-
did Team for This Season.

Deloit, April 25-(Special to the Re,
view AT a booster meeting OF all
the business men of Deloit it was de,
cded to put on fast amateur baseball
team for this season. Enough funds
were raised to finance the club in the
way of new uniforms. renting of place
to play, which is now being put in con-
dition for the opening game, scheduled
for May 7th with the Danbury club.
Judging from the material at hand,
Deloit will have team which will be
able to cope with any team in this sec
ton of the country.
Chester McGrath, former Notre
Dame university star, has been, Sc
cured to manage the team, and with a
gist of material reading like this,
Frank Preibs, formerly with Freeport,
ILL.,, of the Three l. league, catcher;
Al Shook, who formerly pitched for
the Luxus team, taking the pitching
burden, and Patrick, who formerly
played with the Ute Warriors, who
have hung up good record for the
past five seasons, to help out on the
pitching and infield.
Mr.. McGrath, who will look after
matters around the initial sack, believes
with the quartet OF seasoned players
and judging from the excellent form
shown by the local talent, that Deloi
will be capable of showing this COM
munity some real high class baseball.

The Town Beautiful Movement.

Someone remarked the other day.
when certain proposal Of local i'm
sprovement was being discussed. that
Beauty is a luxury. We can't anord
it, Was he right?
Here is one plain fact, and any ex-
perienced real estate man can verify
it from his own observation. Take
street of plain, simple houses, with no
attempt whatever at ornamentattOn OF
any kind, just naked wood. bricks and
cement. Suppose some morning this
spring the residents should get togeth-
er and decide that the street looked
too bare and commonplace.
Suppose they all agree to spend $50
in planting shrubs and trees. grading
and sowing grass seed. Let them also
agree to spend few hours week in
keeping the place neat and in planting
and tending flowers.
What would be the effect? Complete
results of course would not show the
first year. The second season the
hard angles between earth and walls
would be softened by a nest OF flower
ing shrubbery In few years more
the young trees, particularly ii well Sc

provide some shade and screen.
The selling price Of those places
would pick up as soon as the shrubs
got started When the trees got a lit
tie bigger, the whole character of that
street would have changed. 1t would
suggest culture, care, refinement. Fec.
pie from other districts would look at
it longingly and would snap up empty
houses. Eventually a place that cost
$4,000 would be likely to sell for $4,000
to $4,000, because of the reputation and
desirablity of the neighborhood for
residence.
People who say that beauty is lux
ury know very little about human ma
ture or business. A beautiful neighbor-
hood is accepted as a sign of higher
scale of living. People feel that In
moving into it they are improving so.

The Cost Of Foods.

A government public health bulletin
just issued attributes the early break
down of the workingman in health to
overwork, dut to the struggle against
the cost of living. Wages in the past
thirteen years, it is said, have gone up
so per cent, while cost OF food has gone
up 60 per cent.
This advance is due in large meas
ure to the fact that the supply of good
free land has about given out. Farms
cost high. and the cost is paid by the
consumer.
The remedy is not more land. but
more products from the land. Our yield
of staples per acre is far below the
levels prevailing in Europe. Probably
before we are done with this problem
the expenditure for educating the
farmer for intensive cultivation OF the
soil will have to be multiplied many
times. For every dollar spent on bat
tleships. another dollar should be spent
on increasing the products OF our
farms.

"Chris Ottoson is of nationality

remarks the Sac City Sun regarding
Mr.. Ottoson's plan to oppose Repre-

more, is likely to somewhat disturb
the equanimity of the Industrious and
remarkably successful politician who

a PROCLAMATION AND APPEAL.

BY the Governor:
For almost twenty-five years COVER
nors of Iowa have annually issued a
proclamation designating day to ne
known. as Arbor Day and urging its
observance. particularly in the schools
of the state, by the planting of trees
on school grounds. Notwithstanding
that fact 1t is very probable that there
are as many, or more, school houses
without a tree or shrub on the grounds
as when the first proclamation was Is.
sued. The day. however, has been reg
ularly observed by reading and sing
ing the finest things that have been
said about trees. All this ought to
have created love for trees among
the multitudes who have come out of
the schools and also demand that
something be done to really make beau.
tiful and inviting our public school
grounds and highways as we'll.
Iowa has spent seven million dollars
on new public school buildings within
the last three years. There are one
hundred and sixty-seyen consolidated
schools in the state. The new build.
ings are, for the most part, beautiful
and equipped with all modern improve
ments. The grounds about them. as a
rule. are commOdidus. Should not
these new buildings have beautiful set
tings? Should not the children be
taught to assist by protecting every
plant, tree and shrub on the grounds?
will not the people think of these
things and delay no longer? In or
der that they may hereby name and
proclaim as
Arbor Day, Friday, April 2sth. 1915.
and beg that meetings be called at
once to arrange for proper Obser.
vance OF the day.-beg that somebody
in each community will take the ini-
tiatiye in behalf of better and more
beautiful state and finer ideals among
the people and urge that not only at
our school houses and other public
buildings but along our public high
ways. at proper places, there be plant
ed trees, shrubs and plants, all con-
tributing to the things that make life
Joy and genuinely worth while. Have
not the young people pride enough1
and interest enough in the future to
unitedly accomplish this task? Will
not the Women's CLUBS see to it that
hereafter Arbor Day shall mean more?
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF. have
