THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

Why are not all cities beautiful
Simply because some Of them lack
moving spirit. st. Johns, Kas., is
is little prairie city,, no larger OF
more favorably situated than hun
dreds of other towns in the state, and
yet st. Johns has a beautiful park
in the center of the town, with an or
namental wall around it. It has
trees, flowers, and lawn to make it
attractive, and it has seats for the
weary to rest upon. The Woman's
club did tit was the moving spirit
and the people,. when appealed to,
helped.
The result is that the people who
visit st. Johns go away pleased, and
hope for an opportunity to return.
st. Johns furnishes an example wor-
thy Of imitation.

were defeated at Touchet the Friday
before. The game at Weston, how
ever, resulted in favor of Weston, by a
score of 55 to Is. While Athena was
able to score the first 4 points, the
neighborilg team had our girls out
classed in height, weight and ability
to play what proved to be for the most
part, boys rule game. Athena girls
have always been praised for their
good, clean sportsman-like games.
This is due to the fact that they have
always played the game according to
