Mack ;nnon and Pomainyille Buildings
To Be Moved To New Location;
Planning Many Changes.
From Consolidated News:


Should tentative plans, which have
been prepared by prominent Mime
apolis landscape gardener, be carried
out, the entrance to the Consolidated
office and mills will be extended to
Grand avenue. A beautiful park will
replace the buildings which are now
situated between First and Second
avenues, north of Grand. 1t is pro-
posed to move the MacKinnon and Po-
mainville buildings to a new location
on Grand avenue, probably between
Second and Third avenues, tearing
down part of the wooden structures
which remain.
The plans also include some extern
sive changes in the present Consoli-
dated park. Work has already been
started on the building of cement
sidewalks to the main office and to the
mill. The entrance to the park will
remain where it is now located, over
the stone bridge, but instead of leav-
ing the park at the same place it is
entered, the roadway will be built
across the ravine to the southwest cor
ner, coming out on Second avenue.
The blocks from which the buildings
will be removed will be parked along
the same lines as the present park and
will add a very attractive beauty spot
to the city in the heart of the west
side business district.
With the many changes which are
being contemplated it has been pro-
posed that Grand avenue be widened
fifteen feet from the bridge to the
johnson & Hill corner, permitting
cars to park headed in toward the
sidewalk without blocking the street.
This would necessitate moving the
buildings between Second and Third
avenues on the north side of the street
a distance of fifteen feet. However,
some moving may be necessary to To-
cate the MacKinnon and Pomainville
buildings and it is possible that this
plan might be carried out. There
would be no changing on the south
side of the street, all the changing to
be done on the north side.
Other changes which have been
suggested include the proposal" that
IN arranging their parking the
Consolidated leave a space in the GEN.
ter which would house a community
building should the city ever decide
to build one. The proposal was made
due to the central location of the park
and the-fact that there has been con-
siderable talk during recent years of
building. Speaking with an official of
the Company he stated that should the
city ever decide to erect really at
tractive and useful Community build
ing on that location the property
would probably be decided over to the
city.
The changes which are proposed in
the present park are now under way
and will probably be completed this
fall. The work of moving the MacKin-
non building will probably be started
in the spring and the other work car
RED out as soon as practicable.

TURKISH WOMEN HELD I'M
MODIST.

The women of Turkey, it seems, are
finding it exceedingly difficult to throw
off their wells which have hidden them
from the prying eyes of men for sew
eral years.
A number of leaders in the Turk
ish women's movement, initiating GER
tain unveiled foreign women travelling
through their country, have discarded
the veil. The men, however, do not
take kindly to the innovation. Rather,
they refuse absolutely to look upon
the faces of these unveiled women I'M
der any conditions. Indeed, they seem
to look upon the new vogue with the
same CONSERVATION which American
men have exhibited at times over
transparent waists and short skirts
in our own country. 1t is evident that
the men of Turkey have several shocks
yet in store for them before they
reach the point attained by the men
of America.

tages. His father is his playmate,
his chum, his ideal. His fathers po-
litical opinions, business principles
and ethical standards are accepted un-
puestioningly by his admiring son.
Someone has wisely said that through
loving and adn1iring the father whom
he has seen, the child takes his first
step toward worship of the Father
whom he has not seen.
To the nation and the future world
good fatherhood means everything. It
means that men shall henceforth think
not merely in terms of ''big business" :"
but of better human lives, that they
hall strive not only to bequeath wealth
to their children after death, but shall
devote their lives to giving their chill
dren treasure of sympathy, love and
guidance. It means that through mu-
tual understanding, fathers shall be
more progressive and sons less anar-
chistic-that the two generations
shall work hand in hand for finer
future world.
Therefore, would say to every ia
ther, "Know your boy. Begin today
20 play with him, hike with him, dis
cuss with him, camp out with him if
you possibly can. He needs you and
you certainly need him. Don't let his
mother have all the responsibility
and all the joy of parenthood-
some of that joy yourself. For your
boys sake, for your own sake, join
the Ancient and Honorable Order of
Fatherhood.

PROBLEMS OF
THE KO ME
And F A MlLY
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers,
Sisters and Daughters
Invisible Guidance Needed

Most of US can trace the ideals that
have shaped our lives and characters
back to early friendships; and in the
same manner we know that our chill
dren are now drawing the ideals that
shall determine their lives from their
special friends of the school or street.
We know that if we could control
the really intimate friendships of our
little ones we should have taken a
long step toward the control of their
conduct and the right development of
their characters.
We seem generally to fail in this.
And our first mistake appears to be
that we are too autocratic and Off
cious in our attempts to regulate these
friendships of our children. The truth
is that we can not break up childish
friendships very successfully by au-
thority or force. Instead, the effort
is liable to weaken, or even sever, the
bonds of comradeship that exist be-
tween our children and ourselves
I
If We would guide our children a.
right, we should, ourselves, seek to
be their very best ond most confden-
| tial friends. We should likewise strive
to secure teachers for them who are to
! attain a similar place in their lives.
After this, We should be watchful of
their other friendships, rather than
to allow them to develop unnoticed
| Nor should we seek to control such
friendships by destroying bad ones
SO much as by putting better ones ir
| their place. If we really look for them
we can usually find good companions
for our children, and then encourage
them to be together. This must bs
put down, we fear, as one of our sadl,
neglected duties. It means trouble
of course. Yet we do very many otF.e
things for our little ones which ar,
less important and require more effor
We often wonder why parents pycr
look it as they dc.

4 MODERN

PRESSING
MACHINE

The National Club Cleaners & Dyers
ave just installed the latest model
team press on the market today. This
machine steams, presses and dries the
garment with one operation. Mr..
Boyer states it means great deal to
the customer as it gives much nicer
nish to the garments than the iron
press could, also that it is impossible
20 burn, scorch, or shine a garment.
The machine is operated with small
boiler and carries about rs Tbs of
steam when in operation. This hot
steam insures the killing of all germs
.aises the nap of the woolens and
draws all the dust thru into a vacuum
tank.

ers are new people in our midst ano

What 1t Can Do for You

First of ALL it can bring to you the NEWS of your
home town. Week after week, it prints in
detail the happenings of the community. Faith
fully it sets forth the goings and comings of it's
people, giving careful attention to the homely
little items that are ignored in the overcrowded
daies of the big cities.
1t furnish you with more interesting informa-
ton about people you know or used to know, than
could a dozen private correspondents. The one
who writes to you may know only few of your
friends at home-but your Home Town Paper
knows them all. 1t tells you about people you are
interested in.
Finally, in good, hard business sense your Home
Town Paper is of value to you. It keeps you posted
as to the Industrial and commercial growth OF a
community which familiarity may have caused
you to neglect. It often reveals that keen people
see, right in your home town. a mine of golden
opportunity. The moral is obvious

Arcadia College Notes.

On Tuesday, September 9th, the Col
lege began its 44th Scholastic Year
with a gratifying enrolment. A large
student body was expected and ample
provisions were made to accommo-
date all corners.
The necessity of thorough educa-
ton is being impressed on people
more and more. Year by year par
ents realize that the children who are
not placed in competent hands during
their school days, are working under
a handicap that few will be able to
overcome in after years. There are
hundreds upon hundreds of schools
throughout the land, and all are open
ing their doors this month to record
breaking numbers.
Arcadia College, because of its faith
full work during almost half century,
because of the unselfish spirit with
which the Ursuline Sisters devote
themselves to the work OF instructing
and educating, has kept pace with the
advances of the best schools. The
buildings are modern, well lighted and
| ventilated. The class rooms are pro-
vided with all improvements and nee
essary equipment. The courses are
standard. Special advantages are Of
fered in music, science. expression,
domestic art and commercial work.
The Academy is accredited to the Uni
versity of Missouri.
| Arcadia College is "just the school
for your daughteR' because it-adds to
the advantages Of solid course of
studies, a location that is ideal for
school life. The recreation grounds
cover an area of twenty acres. Every
kind of game and amusemen is pro-
vided for the students. There are
the lovely hills of the Ozarks on all
sides. Who has ever stood in the Ar
cadia Valley and seen the glories OF
the setting sun, looked upon the riot
of colorful beauty in the days of Au-
tumn, or the fresh green of the noun
tains ia the Springtime, and has not
felt that here, indeed, nature has left
\ her most wonderful marks? Here in
this Valley of Charm is Arcadia Col
| lege, "just the school for your daugh-
ter" Here is the school that is pre-
pared to take that girl of yours and
lead her through the tender years OF
girlhooa to true and noble woman
hood, to mould her character and
make her fit to take her proper place
in the great-world of tomorrow.
