TEMPERANCE NEWS FROM

A short time ago two of Merlin's

number of-fliiuie but the better olass

class has a majority but we trust tlie
teuirerance'elenient will yet win.
The women, too, have signed a re

About a year a?o there was organ
ized here a Loyal Temperance Legion
with a membership of perhaps 16
children. Meetings were held twice
a month until summer when they
were suspended. Since the first of
September meetings have been held
regularly. Much interest has been
shown and the membership increased

certainly a success for there was an
abundance of cake, tandwicrles,

it. Yes, it was a splendid article, "
was the way one citizen spoke, in
conversing with the reporter.
A Kansas editor who contracted the
habit of going to church has this to
say: "Ladies should take off their

Owing to the great noine from the
engines blowing off steam in the S.
P. round house, nearby, the members
of Betbsny chorch are si riously
thinking of securing a new site and
moving the edifice away from the
nuisance.
LsHt Sunday the Sundav School
made a fine showing. The attendance
was remarkably good. One thing
I which pleaded the pastor was that P0
I Bibles were brought by members of
! the school, which is an Indication
'that it is ruy a Bible school.
The excellent anthems rendered by
the double quartette are adding much

I great hopes of having Bethany a truly

Strsst Tree Planting.
Tarlotis large cities and towns
throughout the United States, as well
as many lesser ones, are taking np the
mntter of planting all street trees and
with most gratifying success, so much
so that another decade wilt don titles
witness the complete pnmtng of street
tree planting by Individual property
owners or even by concerted action
otherwise than under the direction of
a city or town ofllclul or department.
There nppeurs to be no legitimate bar
rier to a city or town assuming this
work, and all the argument is on that
side of the question, says the Ixis An
geles Times. In public Improvements
what benefits one benefits all, and
there Is no reason why a city or town
government tuny not make its streets
beautiful as well as making them eco
nomically usable. It Is admitted that
trees ulong the front of a property add
value In the same proportion to the
cost as do curb, sidewalk or pavement
therefore the expense should he borne
In the same manner. Bo far as re
turns from tin! outlay la concerned,
the planting of trees Is decided the
better Investment, for while the Initial
outlay Is slight the value accumulates
with advancing years, the ouly phase
of street Improvement that does.
