SHE "GINGER CLUB" FOR
THAT
An Improvement Scheme Started
by Business Men.
ITS HELP TO A KANSAS TOWN
Hiawatha Prospering In Face of Evi
dent Disadvantages How Public
Spirit and Consistent Civic Improve
ment Rescued It From Lethargy.
The merchants of Hiawatha, Kan.,
have taken up the "ginger club" Idea
started by Kansas City business men.
Those in each block will form a club,
and each will try to outdo the other In
improvements. The clubs will work
with the Civic Improvement club to
beautify Hiawatha this summer. The
flrst club to organize is called the Five
Hundred Block Oregon Street Improve
ment club. The officers are:
W. O. Noble, president; II. D. Ad
ams, treasurer, and P. M. Smith, secre
tary. The officers form the executive com
mittee, with full power to spend mon
ey for necessary Improvements. This
club is formed in the smallest busi
ness block in town. Every business
man and woman in the block Is n mem
ber of the club. They have subscribed
$50 monthly for improvements, says
the Kansas City Star. Electric lights
have been placed every twenty-five feet
along tho block, and the lights are kept
burning all night The buildings in
the block will bo painted a uniform
color. Lights will be placed in tho
alleys and kept burning all night as a
protection to property.
The club has made a special sprin
kling contract for this summer, and
tho streets are swept each day. As
tho streets are not paved the club has
Induced the city council to put in a ce
ment crossing in the middle of the
block, and property owners have
agreed to put cement walks In the al-
4 leys. The clubs in the other business
-v blocks win rrark-cJong similar lines.
A-rvlc Improvement club has been
QWn" existence in Hiawatha for several
years. It has done much to beautify
tho town. Work for this summer has
already commenced, and the residents
are taking hold with new vigor. The
members of the Improvement club
havo adopted the slogan, "Make Hia
watha a beautiful and spotless town."
The members of the club plant and
tend flower beds in tho city park,
which faces the main business block.
The park will be strung with electric
lights this summer. Tho improvement
club will turn a vacant lot near the
center of tho town into a children's
flower garden.
Each year the i:lub offers prizes for I
the best kept yards, churchyards ani
Bchool yards, for t he best garden plant-'
ed and tended by a child, for tho best
garden planted npd tended by a man
over sixty years nld, for tho best look
ing yard kept in order by a woman '
and for the best riower gardens.
Those who are too poor to buy flower
needs and thero are few of them are
furnished with seeds by tho club. In
the fall a flower show Is held, at which
the urizes are awarded. Tho business
men and others pay the expenses of
tho club, aud the officers give their
services. Tho city council and tho
board of county ommlssloners appro
priate money toward the support of tho
club.
Tho city administration is In hearty
Bympnthy with tho town improvement
movement An ordinance hns been
passed fixing, a fine for any person
found guilty of spitting on any side
walk or crossing In the city. After
each rain the dirt streets tare dragged
at tho city's expense, and a movement
has been started to pavo tho streets in
the business section. City employees
cut the weeds along the street, aud
when weeds ara not cut In vacant lots
tho city officials promlso to seo that
it la dono at the cxpeuso of tho prop
erty owner.
Each Wednesday evening during this
summer concerts will bo given in tho
- city park. Tha concerts havo been
given each summer for nearly twenty
years. Tho bond Is paid by tho busi
ness ipnlmd othiir residents. Tbo city
.icouficil contributes each year to tho
support of tho band. In all tho band
receives nearly ? 1,000 a year for ex
penses. Tho members aro not paid sal
aries. Tho money put into civic Improve
ment has beon well spent. There aro
no big Industries In niawatha to cm
ploy a large number of men; tho town
is Just dependent upon the surrounding
country. A few years ago Missouri
Taclllc division headquarters wero lo
cated there, but were later moved to
Atchisoi). Wlieu the railroad families
left, many houses wero left vacant,
rents wont down, and tho value of real
estato decreast'd. The pessimistic suld
tho town would Dover recover. Tho
otbors kept quiet and worked for city
Improvement. The work of beautifying
tbo town hns brought results.
Hiawatha has grown larger than
ever. Tucro are no vacant nouses;
newcomers cither havo to buy or build.
A water system and sewer system ex
tend over tho eutlro town. Tho city,
electric light plant furnishes power for
lights on street corners. City property
la higher than ever before.
This has all been caused by the citi
zens making a united effort for town
betterment.
Thero Is not a Jolut or gambling hall
In tbo town.
SLEEP? FEELING
BALLAD OF SLEEP!' BILL.
In Slecpyvlllo dwelt Sleepy BUI,
Who kept a sleepy store.
A place was It to lounge or sit
And snore find snore and snore.
And sometimes come to play a cam
Of checkers threo or four.
But seldom there a lady fair
A bargain camo to buy.
For women's toss In catalogue
Quito often caught the eye.
So things for salo -they bought by mall
At prices low or high.
In town one day appeared a gay
And lively youth, who quoth i
"Why sit and snore and let your store
Run down? Upon my oath,
Lcmmo run things and make, by jlngs,
A fortune for us both I"
BUI said "O. K." and dozed away.
But Mr. Lively sized
Things up at onco lie was no dunce
And went and advertised
Such bargains rare (Bill had 'em there)
Tho publlo was surprised.
Tho buyers came young girl and dame
And youth and man and child.
Thero was a rush, a real crush
In fact, to put It mild,
All SIcepyvlllo woke up, until
Tho rush was almost wild.
And Dill awoke and even spoke.
He said; "I'm feelln' sore.
I never thought folks would
have
fought
To patronize my store
I guess them ads. Is pop'lar fads
I'll advertise somo morel"

PROTECTING SHADE TREES.
Work of Commissions Appointed
For
That Purpose.
The cities In New Jersey and Penn
sylvania are by statute now enabled to
appoint shnde tree commissions to take
care of the shade trees on their streets.
Tlioy can set out new trees and assess
the cost on the property beneflted.
Tliey trim trees, protect them from in
jury, clean out decayed trunks and fill
the holes with cement and wage war
against the Insect pests. Municipal
Engineering describes the methods of
work of the shade tree commission of
East Orange. X. J., and shows what
can be done.
In the trimming of trees great care
is taken to cut off all limb close to
and even with the trunk. All scars arc
painted with a coat of thick coal tar.
All trees on a street are pruned to a
uniform height, nnd as far as possible
that height is made ten feet, to clear
all street lights.
The campaign against the Insects in
festing shnde trees forms one of tho
chief tasks of the commission. The
control of the Injurious Insects not
only preserves iue foliage of the trees
for the seasou, but maintains their
health and vitality. What can be done
by persistent work In this lino is
shown by the results with the woolly
maple scale (Psoudococcus accrls),
which attacks the sugar maple. Other
pests are tho tussock moths, attacking
the American elm and linden, tho
white maple nnd the horse chestnut;
the cotton maple scale, attacking the
white maple: the elm leaf beetle, the
spring elm caterpillar, the bagworm
nnd the fall webworm. The idea con-

to minimize both the amount of work
required In treatment and tho injury
done to the trees.
CLEANING UP SCHEME.
How Girls Helped to Clear a Tract
For New Park.
If any tract of land In your town
needs cleaning up. try the following
method adopted by tho mayor of a
Missouri town:
Every schoolgirl in Alton, Mo., be
came a Maud Muller tho other day, but
Instead of a "meadow sweet with hay"
she raked tho sixty-five acre tract, in
cluding Itock Sprlug paik, donated to
Alton for public purposes.
Mayor Beall headed tho park raking
fete. He was there with tho biggest
rako of all nnd mado the greatest show
of feverish Industry says the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. All tho citizens of tho
town were Invited to help, aud most of
them responded. All tho school chil
dren wero Invited, aud all of them re
sponded. Free transportation was pr
vided on street car Hues to tho pai
and special cars wero run for the
rakers.
No appropriation was made by the
city council for cleaning tho tract, and
Mayor Beall resorted to a general call
Tho results surpassed his expectations,
aud rubbish and leaves disappeared as
if by magic.
Selling by Fraud.
One of the catalogue houses, other
wise mall order stores, Is selling for ?3
an electroplated watch which it repre
sents as having a gold filled case, and
tho house warrants the timepiece for
twenty years. Precisely the same
watch Is sold at a profit by many Jew
elers for $3. The mall order concern
which sells It for $8 makes ut least $5
by clear and unadulterated fraud. Yet
many persons throughout tho countrv
are buying this tliucplcco just becauso
of tho twenty years' warrant aud tho
gold filling claim. Naturally a man
who has been "handed a lemon" will
not kick back If the lemon turns out
to bo sour, so tho catalogue house has
very Httlo trouble from the complaints
of those who find that tho nrtlclo thoy
get Is not tho ono they order.

DIARRHOEA
There is no need of anyone suffer

effect a quick cure it is only neces
sary to take a few doses of
Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy
In fact, in most cases one dose is
sufficient. It never fails and can be
relied upon in the most severe and
dangerous cases. It is equally val

of saving the lives of many children
each year.
