Is tho more necessary that wo repair tho ravages wo havo nindo. Wo overheard a conversation be tween a couple of strangers the other day, and ono of them told the other that ho had hard work, In looking ov er tho town, to dccldo whether ho was looking nt tho abandoned sito of an old cannery, or nn Iron foundry, or whether thoro had been something llko tho Johnstown flood sweep over tho town. A Marshfield man who was passing stopped, nnd apologetic ally assured the now comers that tho ircnBou pcoplo didn't Improvo thotr yaids hero was that they were ufrald tho assessor would raise the taxes. Wo don't bcllovo this. Wo believe every Marshfield and Coos Day citizen should awaken to tho fact that noth ing Impresses pcoplo from tho out sldo so much as to see homes well kept, smooth lawns, nnd flowers, nnd a general appcarnnco indlcntlug that kppoplo aren't about to let their place go ror tne mortgage. No organization can accomplish this. It must bo done by ludlvldiinl effort, by an Individual realization that life Is nioro pleasant mn Id tnsu- fill surroundings, and a prldo In the tipi'carauco of our homes and our itown, DesldcB, wo ought to do at jenct something that Congressman Havloy couldn't telegraph from Wnslilngton that ho has accomplished personally. Wo don't wish to withhold credit from thoso fow who have already beautified tholr homes. Thoro aro many such places, but, unfortunately, thoy even accentuate tho bareness of their surroiiiidlngu.

You'll bo surprised nt tho results, and you'll bo surprisod what an interest' it will lnsplro lu 'you to get out in tho yard on the !lno spring days and caress things up. Of courso, a lot of yaps will como and yell at you "Go to it, that's tho wvny I got my start," but Noah would novor havo built the ark If ho had listened to thoso fellows, SM I LE- A-WI 1 1 LU FLY BACKWARDS, OH TI.ME IN THY FLIGHT H - EHE'S a poem The Booster has rocolvcd from Curry county.

Its subtle satire ought to nwakon n eonso of shamo in tho brenst o t every Coos Day cltlzon who thinks ho Is proud of his homo town, ns It shoves him right up ngninst tho facts. Wo want to talk sorlously to our rcadorB this week, on this matter of beautifying tho homes and vacant grounds in Marshflold.
