CIVIC IMPROVEMENT SCHEME.
Success of Spokane's Arbor and Clean
ing Day Movement.
To clean up a town ami keep It In
tfnoj shape tile following scheme, fol
lowed for two seasons by Spokane,
Wash., has proved ery beneficial to
that city and can be adopted In a
measure by any town:
Forty thousand men, women and
children, including fourteen hundred
students In the high school, participat
ed this spring In the special arbor
and cleaning day movement originated
in Spokane a year ago by the city
beautiful committee of tbe One Hun
dred and Fifty Thousand club, says
the New York Tribune. Mayor Floyd
L. Daggett proclaimed a civic holi
day, and from early morning until
the sun dipped behind the west
ern hills captains of financial, indus
trial and commercial Institutions. niln
lng kings, lumber barons, professional
men and laborers worked side by side
with their wives, sisters and children
In making Spokane as spick and span
as a new pin. How well they snc
ceeded was shown by the fact that
nearly every lawn was raked, the trees
and shrubbery were pruned, alleys
cleaned and vacant lots sown to grass
and Bower seeds. The last named
work was given over to the children,
to whom were presented 20,000 packets
of pardon seeds by Mrs. R. Well.
Henry L. I.lllenthal, formerly city
engineer, was marshal of the day and
had under his directum a large number
of teams and vehicles lent by the cor
porations and private individuals,
which hauled refuse to the municipal
crematory and the dumps outside the
city limits. Tree primings, leaves and
other debris were destroyed in bonfires
lighted In various parts of the city
under the direction of the fire depart
ment The organization of the forces
was the work of C. Herbert Moore,
chairman of the city loautlful com
mittee, who was assisted by a vice
chairman in each ward, in each of
which there was a committee, of ten
residents, one representing each pre
cinct Every block In the precincts
was represented by a captain, and in
this way every part of the city, even
the outskirts, was looked after.
In addition to the general cleaning
work, patriotic and fraternal societies
planted trees In the various parks,
naming them in honor of the grand
and supreme officers of the various
lodges. The (Woodmen of the World
and their auxiliary, the Women of the
Woodcraft, planted a number of trees
near their bungalow at tbe Spokane
Interstate fair grounds. '
Teople In Spokane displayed more
enthusiasm In the work this year than
they did a year ago," Mr. Moor said,
"and we have reports to show that not
a single block la Spokane was neglect
ed. Everybody worked, and the man
with the hoe, rake and shovel was In
evldeuce from morning till nightfall,
the result being that the city was
beautiful and clean. It Is proposed to
have this day set aside and to make It
a civic holiday every year."
BEAUTIFYING WALKS.
Easy Way to Make a Garden Path At
tractive. In my little garden on a city street
the straight walk that led from the
gate to the front stoop looked hope
lessly unattractive Just a straight ce
ment path with the grass on each side,
writes a correspondent of the Cleve
land Plain Dealer. Ten cents' worth
of nasturtium seeds changed It so much
that It changed the appearance of tho
whole garden.
I used the many colored dwarf vari
ety. It grows literally of Itself. Plant
the seeds In shallow holes, water well,
and the plaut does the rest. It Is prac
tically free from Insect enemies, and a
few plants will produce blossoms
enough to supply the house dally for
the season. A pretty way to use them
for table decoration Is to cut them off
short and float them on a shallow glass
dish or even a saucer. This way they
make a dainty little bed of yellows,
cinnamons, marooua and orange In tbe
center of the table.

Princeton'! Beautifying Scheme.
n. Ilium, curator of Princeton uni
versity, has a scheme which, lie says,
will make Princeton one of the most
beautiful towns In the world, says the
New York Tribune. Boxes are built
by a carpenter In Princeton that will
fit every front window In every bouse
and store than faces Nassau street
These will be furnished to tbe occu
pants at cost and Mr. Bunn will sup
ply enough geraniums to fill them.
When the plants are in bloom Nassau
street will present an unusual sight
The Princeton council bas purchased
many shade and ornamental tree,
wbl'-h are given to residents of the
borough for 50 cents. This plan was
adopted to shade the street.

STAND BYYOUR
Why It Is Right and Proper ; to
Spend Your Money at Home.
SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS.
Strong Argument For Patronizing the
Local Merchants Instead of 8ending
Your Money to City Mail Order
Housee Where Your Interests Lie.
The curious question, "Is it right to
trade at home?" la answered In the
following manner by a writer In a
recent Issue of the New England
Grocer:
It is the right thing to do, for, after
til, the fundamental question In every
transaction Is whether it Is right or
wroug not will I save It, but is It
Just? Not Is It more convenient, but la
It (air? Not whether I gain, but is it
right In principle?
The town as a local market la worth
at least $73 a year to the ordinary
farmer. Of course the town does not
donate him that amount. The town
was not built for philanthropic pur
poses alone, yet he receives an actual
cash benefit because the town is here,
and be is under actual financial obliga
tions to return that benefit by leaving
bis money with the home town. It la
not an obligation that the law would
recognir.e, but Is one that appeals to
those clean hearted men of high honor
who tell that perfect honesty demands
that when benefits are received from
stranger or brother, friend or foe, bene
fits stand to be returned.
It Is right for the country to spend
Its money with the home town because
of tbe social obligations between them.
The town Is the center of your com
munity. From it diverges your rural
mall service. In It center your tele
phone systems. On the streets of the
town you meet your neighbors during
the week and exchange news and ex
perience. You go to It for recreation,
for throughout the winter lecture
course yon bear great orators and high
grade musicians. Tbe political rallies,
the church conference, summer Chau
tauqua or associations are held there.
Then some day in the pretty little
church, whose spire you can see from
yonr home, your son will preach the
gospel. In tbe brick building three
doors from the corner a farmer lad
will open np a law office, and In the
little frame building some blocks away
another son from the soli. Just homo
from college, will begin the practice of
medicine.
There Is the high school to which
you send your children, and then after
awhile your daughter will teach. And
by and by when you find the farm
work bas grown heavy for your age
and yon want to be near your children
you will build on some grassy corner
lot not far from tbe church and be
come one of the honorable town peo
ple.
Yes, the town la a mighty good thing
to have, a convenient thing, and, of
course, like all good institutions, the
more you put Into It the more you get
out of It. It grows according to tbe
trade you put Into It, and the more It
grows higher will grow the prices on
your land. You know a good town
where there Is plenty of work for car
penters, bricklayers and masons,
plenty of work for everybody at good
wages. Is worth many times as much
as the little village where the mechan
ic and storekeeper play marbles In the
street.
There Is still another and stronger
reason why the country people spend
their money at home, the moral ob
ligation. The town la yours, yours to
ruin or prosper. The same sense of
obligation should prompt you to sup
port it as prompted our Teutonic an
cestors In the forests of (lermany to
stand elbow to elbow In protection of
their village. The same spirit of loy
alty should inspire you as fired the
highland Scot to shed his blood for
the welfare of his clan. The country
town, with all Its faults, is rightly gov
erned, best enlightened, most moral
and the happiest spot In civilization.
It's a good safe place, not too fast
i. or yet two siow. It I . i!.e p,,. i.
which spring most all great busli n
men, lawyers, scholars, physician,
nnd the pla-c where men ar helpful
and nelth'ly.
To the city liclong the mall ord -r
h'ltiw and the trend of evil. V'lth its
corrupt government, overflow of popu
lation and Its depravity, the great city
is the mennce of our morals and our
llliertles. The city, like the dragon,
hwullows the vast throngs of country
trlrls and boys that fmk Into It and
inner or Inter, whpn health and virtue
.:! (1 hope are gone, spews them out to
''I" In want or wander as derelicts,
nver the face of the earth. Tho town,
iii.v fanner friend, la yours, and don't
roil see that when you take the money
finm the country town you destroy the
i-hnwe of success there and tho boys
r 1 11 girls will follow where you have
sent tbe money?
Tills town of yours was founded on
faith In the customs of men for hun
dreds of years to trade at the near
est town. They put tlielr nil In their
business time, money and bop. Their
success or failure Is In your bands.
For your trade tby will give you g'jod
returns, and nil will prwper together.
They work hard -yon p'-un-ely realize
bow hard and have pinned their faith
to the town. Fven If you could save
a llt'le by fwrilln? away y.nr patron
iv.i; ilon't nu think it the. fair thing,
tbe right thing, to trade at yourown
home town with those you knaw, fhoe

NEW ROAD MACHINL
Triple Device For Improving Earth
Highways.
A new atyle of road machine for
earth roads has been devised by G. G.
Townsend, road engineer, Frostburg,
Md., says the Good Roads Magazine.
He says of this Invention:
"It Is a cross between a Shuart grad
er, a spring tooth barrow and a split
log drag and resembles all of Its dlstlu
gulshed progenitors in some of Its
features. It gets Us wheels aud levers
from the spring tooth harrow and the
Bhuart grader, its long frame from the
harrow, its three scrapers from the
grader and from the split log drug.
"The cut shows the uxtchlne, ready
for work, with the right hand frame
TKIFLKX 110 AD 1IACUINI.
tot well ahead and the scraper de
pressed at the forward ends and raised
hllghMy :,t the left or buck ends. Tbe
pos-iCiM i f the frames Is controlled by
the i to which the doubletree is
InU'I.'.'il. I lie chain ban three, rings lu
It, oi.e In the center to be used when
hauling with scrapers mi mire aud one
on either side of the central rlug to
bitch when working with scrapers
diagonal, like the split log drag. ' ' r
"The scrapers are held up tlgh'tly
under tbe frames by baits passing
through castings fastened to ithe 'tops
of the scrapers and up through blocks
of wood set between tbe double aides
of the frames. These casting act as
fifth wheels and allow the scrapers to
swing under the frames Into any de
sired position, bnt the bolts, being near
tbe front edges of tbe castings and di
rectly over the center of 'the scraper
planks, bold them rigidly against tbe
thrust of tbe earth when scraping la
being dune.
"By manipulation of the levers at the
rear the wheels can be held in any de
sired position, and the frames and
scrapers may be raised or depressed at
either end. For easy transportation to
or from work both levers should be
back and tbe scrape fa raised clear of
tbe ground. The cut allows right lever
part wsy forward and left lever part
way back.
"By lengthening tho long connecting
rods tbe front wheels may be made to
rise ahead of the rear ones, thus de
pressing the front end of the frames
and making the front scraper do all
tbe work. This would only be done In
heavy work. By shortening the rods
the bark end of the frames would go
down first and each scraper would
take a light cut
"The machine. Is easily turned, as tbe
front wheels are hung as castors and
when frames are raised they can turn
In any direction. The frames are sep
arated by six Inch blocks, so that the
wheels and their supporting levers
work bet wih'Ii them. Tho advantage
claimed for the long rigid frame with
these S'Tiipers Is that It will tend to
rut off all high places nnd drop tho dirt
Into holes and thus pqunllzft tho road
surface liotter tlinn would a shorter
machine with only one or two scrajwrs,
which would naturally follow the sur
face of tho road and not correct Its In
equalities. "The wheels are three Inch tread and
eighteen Inches In diameter, and the
frames are each of two pieces of 2 by 8
Inches by 12 feet. The scraper planks
are 2 by 8 Inches by 7 feet. These di
mensions may be altered to suit condi
tions under which work is to be done
without changing wheels or levers.
"When used like the split log drag, to
trowel or smear the surface of a wet
road, pieces of 2 by 4 timber can be
fastened on the bottom of the scraper
planks so as to prevent the blades
from cutting and to make a flat sur
face four Inches broad to smooth the
mud."
Funds For Rood Work.
According to reports published In the
daily press, 2,0U0,0U0 will be provid
ed by this .session of tbe state legis
lature of New York for road Improve
ment In that state this year. This
amount Is less than that advocated by
some, but It Is believed that It will be
ample when tbe large amount of road
Improvement work now under con
struction and contracted for Is taken
Into consideration, together with tht
fact that 12,000,000 of tbe 15,000,000
appropriated by last year's legislators
baa not yet been used.
