While the American Lumberman la & national publication for lumbermen It carries, on its editorial stall some man who knows and appreciates the meaning, of supporting the Individual community by those living within Its borders. To give an Idea of the broad ness of this periodical one has but to read some suggestions which It offers, the principal one being "There's No Place Like Home" campaign meaning that every community should stand fcy Us home institutions regardless of what is offered by the outside world. "Another era of nation-wide specu lation has passed," says the Lumber man, "and this time the people's spare cash went into land projects, many of which have proven Just about as bto- UUClive l umueuua a. w iu iuu past similar flyers In stock exchanges. Mrny people of this community have contributed to the land boom. They have been attracted by the fact that the property they bought Is far from home and, as a rule, In a locality that they knew little, if anything about. A large amount of this business has been done by prospectus and circular let ter, and in some cases the buyer will ha happier if he never sees what he bought. We all believe in land Invest ments, but we have some good land here in our own neighborhood that ought to be Improved. . "This movement has taken capital from our community that might other wise have been spent for local im provements, for . homes, schools churches, tetter roads, farm Improve ments and many other things whicn would have made for the greater pros perity of this vicinity." We believe now however, that the time has come to center attention upon the welfare of the home. W believe also that it Is time to forget about politics, the tariff and other bogles and settle down to a plan for bettering this particular community by strong co-operative ef fort ' , '-. ' . "It has been said that the tariff is a local issue and, in a large measure, the same may be said of prosperity. The business men of this vicinity have It in their power to make prosperity in this locality, but, in order to accom plish anything definite, their money must be kept at home and spent at home. Our general welfare will not be promoted by sending it to Canada or to any part of the world with wbicS we have no dally business relation. . "We need a Commercial club to lay out a campaign of development which will make this a better place to live in; "Tiere is no place like home" when, everyone is trying to make it a better place. The time for action is right now. We can afford to disregard every other issue but that of " .local prosperity, but we should be up and doing something to further our own Interests. We have in this vicinity fine homes, good farms, good schools, good road and many other things that help to make life worth living. Let's try to make them still better and put our money Into solid improvements at home."

A'check room for babies Is one ot the features during the child welfare exhibit now being held in Chicago, from May 11 to May 25, for the purpose of bringing home to Chlcagoans tht pitiful condition under which thou sands of city babies are being raised. Babies will be checked as hats and coats are at the entrance to the Colise um and reclaimed when their mothers are ready to leave again. This fol lows closely after the method of the creche where children from the tene ments and cellars are cared for duniu, the day while thdr mothers are at work. The check' room bids fair to eclipse the other features of the exhibit tor there babies sleeping and playing will be without the embarrassment of bo lng and knowing they are exhibits. , A babel of tongues is needed to care for the babes of cosmopolitan Chicago.

The receipts of the board were also the largest, and were $1,632000 from regular sources. The most Important event of the first regular session of the assembly tomorrow will be the selection of a moderator. Ordinarily the election is preceded by a more or less spirited contest, though the candidates them selves never take'an active part. This year, however, there appears to be an unusual dearth of candidates. Some of the western commissioners have launched a good-sized boom In behalt of Dr. Mark A. Matthews of Seattle.
