CO-OPERATION A BIG FACTOR
How a Town
Country Are
Othor Value
Institution!.
and the Surrounding
Dependent on Each
of Loyalty to Home
Does the average Individual owe al-
lcglance to anybody or "anything! Is
he always sufficient unto hlmBelf, or
Is be dependent upon and does he like
wise contribute to other effort?
These are questions which can best
be discussed by considering the con
ditions as they are found In any pros
perous community, and one will an
swer for all, says Guy T. Mitchell In
Maxwell's Talisman. We will assume
that the native resources of this par
t.'cular locality are ample. The soil
1', fertile and mellow, the methods of
tinning are good, the crops are uni
formly heavy, and the farmers are
prosperous. Under uoruiul conditions
the towns of such a rural district
should share this prosperity. Here
we find one which partakes of this
condition. The visitor observes that
the houses are well built, the grounds
well kept and the homes attractive and
artistic. lie Is Impressed at once with
the fact that the value of the beautiful
Is appreciated by the citizens and that
the spirit of co-operation Is abroad.
But why should perhaps the very next
town or village, not ten miles distant,
surrounded by the same good farm
ing land, support conditions the exact
reverse? Why should its bouses and
stores be so poorly built. Inartistic,
gauche and with no attempt at beauty,
with no Idea that the mellowing Influ
ence of time shall enhance rather than
diminish their attractiveness? Why
are there so few yards well kept, with
shade trees and green lawns and or
namental shrubs and Cower beds, and
why, in every way, should there be
such a general appearance of neglect
and unthrlft? .
What Is the reason for the differ
ence? , . ,
Because It will be found that In ev
ery progressive community a small
coterie of energetic, public spirited
men and women have systematically
gone about the Improvement of their
homes. They have set examples; they
have devoted themselves to fostering
the spirit of local pride, of home town i
work; they have determined to make .
their town a place most satisfactory to i
live In, a place of beauty, convenience
and health; they have directed their
energies toward making their town the
real heart of the surrounding commu
nity. Every town, every village. Is the
center, the heart of Its surrounding
country. It may be a weak. Inactive
heart scarcely carrying Its feeble Im
pulse Into the arteries which ramify
the countryside, or It may be a strong,
enthusiastic, pulsating heart, carrying
the current of its Influence vigorously
Into the remotest corner of the terri
tory It dominates.
Just as we nre considered as a na
tion practically sufficient unto our
selves, so as citizens of different states
we are loyal to borne Institutions
state pride Is a most healthy attribute
and to carry the Idea still further we
mny with profit support the Institu
tions of our Individual communities.
But as Individual citizens we are In
complete. For a full measure of pros
perity we must depend upon our neigh
bors and our neighbors upon us. As
every dollar thnt is sent out of the
United States to Euroe or Elsewhere
for the purchase of things which we
have at home Is a distinct loss to the
country, so money sent out of our par
ticular state Into another state enriches
thnt stnte at the expense of our own,
while It Is equally true that our In
dividual community suffers to the
same extent through the purchase of
goods In distant places which we
might buy at home.
The heart of the community Is worth
stimulating, worth nourishing, both
from within and without, for It Is the
central force which makes of the com
munity a virile, active and aggressive
place. As an Instance of the value to
the entire community of the activity
of the heart, take the case of an up to
dute Iowa town of some 18,000 or 20,
000 population. A few years ago the
place supported two miserable little
hotels. On the rond. among the trav
eling men. that great moving army
throughout the west, this town was
known as "rotten." The drummers
skipped the town when possible, or If
they had to make It they came In on
one train and went out on the next
They got through their business as
expeditiously as possible, even sllght
Ing It to get to the next place on their
route, where good meals and a good
night's lodging could be had. Then
the town concluded that Its business
required a good hotel, and while the
people were about It they put up a
"swell" one. Now every traveling
mnn likes to make . He stays
over Sunday there. He stays there as
Inns as he can and canvasses every
store for the sale of his goods. What
fs the result of simply having this fine
hotel? The stores bave a full Una of
goods of all descriptions, the people of
the community come to town to buy,
for they can get what tbey want and
the merchants do a big business.
A good farming community buys
0n$. Ql P0?1 ifr well and raise
a wholesome variety of product, but
they buy through the year many
things. According to census statistics,
the arena of the farmers of th
United States spends 627 a year for
ppMe-clothing for th family.
nousenoia utensils, food that Is not
raised at home, farm Implements, etc.
This Is the average. Some buy more,
some much less. Now, this means a
large circulation of money, perhaps
$300,000 or $400,000 expended annually
by the farmers within Ave or six miles
of any small town. How and where do
they spend It? Is the town Itself such
aS tf ImnfARI thorn n-l f V. 1 1
1 fcwvui " 1LU uiv ICVllUg
that It Is the real heart of their com-
I It a pretty town, a beautl-
ful town, in which thev cannot hnt
feci a Just pride? Has It wide, well
kept streets and good roads leading
into It over which It Is a delight to
drive either with a light buggy or a
heavily laden wagon carrying a load
of produce to market? Has it long
rows of shade trees and some public
parking to make it attractive? Are its
citizens taking a pride in making their
own grounds and yards beautiful and
their bouses vine covered and not com
monplace? In short. Is it such a place
as a man may be glad to visit, to pat
ronize and to call "his town" and
where as he retires in his later years
from the active work of farm life be
may move or look forward to moving
Into and becoming himself a resident?
The poorer classes of Italian ami
Chinese laborers earn their wages In
our country and scud It away to their
homes. For that reason they are not
desirable citizens. The member of the
community who sends his money out
of the community either for Invest
ment or to purchase the necessities and
luxuries of life Is pursuing a course
as detrimental to the community as
does the foreigner who sends bis mon
ey away. And he Is acting against bis
own best Interests. Take the outlying
farms of any small town. They will
not have to be exceptionally rich to
produce half a million dollars' value
from the soil In a year over and above
the home consumption. Can any one
doubt that with that sum flowing
through the heart of the community
year after year the heart will not
strengthen and grow double and be
able to send back through Its channels
a stream of prosperity and Increased
value to the farms out of which It Is
the growth, that the entire community
will not be the stronger? The commu
nity will become a better place to live.
In both the town and country section.
The town will afford a better market
for the sale of the products of agricul
ture, and it will be a better place In
which to buy things. It will have
better schools, more churches, and If
the spirit of local civic Improvement
fostered it will become constantly
more beautiful, more attractive, more
influential.
With the spirit of co-operative effort
stimulated In a community, great
things have been accomplished.
Through persistence In pulling to
gether communities have grown and
thrived where the natural advantages
have been poor. They have forged
ahead and passed other communities
with far greater natural advantages
where the spirit of co-operation has
been dormant
The man who has pride in his home
town and who, if It does not meet bis
Ideal, works and strives to arouse en
thusiasm In others to make It such Is
the best of citizens. He Is worth dol
lars to the community. He may be
advancing his own Interests, but ho Is
likewise Increasing the market value
of the community. He is helping bis
town, the heart of the community, and
therefore the community. He Is en
titled to the support of Its citizens,
their enthusiastic support and co-operation.
CLEANUP ORDINANCE
Scheme Adopted by a Park Commis
sion In Los Angeles.
Many of our California cities and
towns are adopting ordinunres requir
ing vacant lots and untidy premises to
be cleaned up, says the Los Angeles
Times. In Itivcrsiile the notification
of passage of such legislation Is placed
In the hands of the park commission,
which has sent out the following no
tice to property owners:
"A provision In the new cleaning up
ordinance makes It the duty of the
park commissioners to Inspect the
streets and report all such Instances of
mi tidy frontages, dirty vacant lots and
other premises as would come under
the provisions of the ordinance (a copy
of which Is herewith Inclosed) to the
superintendent of streets, whose duty
would be to serve legal notice to prop
erty holders.
"It Is the opinion of tills board tha
a simple reminder in f !i? large in:iVri:.
of cases will be all that N ii"i e-ary t-
secure the desired remits; hence w
take the liberty of calllni! your atte:i

frontage (desi l lptioin. rei-pcctf ully re
questing that prompt attentlou be
given It that formal legal notices to the
superintendent of streets muy not be
necessary."
Train and Track.
On a real busy day the New York
railways take lu I,5o0.0o0 nickels.
Eight car trains are to le run on the
Boston elevated Hue In the endeavor
to cope with the tratlic offered.
Water softening devices are success
fully used on British railways to save
boilers. It seems that they reduce the
cost of repairing boilers nearly one
half, while being tuenselves compara
tively Inexpensive.

PLAN TRIED IN AUSTRALIA.
Engineer Cooley Will Experiment an
Road Building In Sandy Soil Clover
Will Be Planted, Cut and Mixed
With Sand.
George W. Cooley, engineer and sec
retary of the state highway commis
sion of Minnesota, has secured the co
operation of the public road office at
Washington and the bureau of plant
Industry in his plans for experiment
ing In the construction of roads in
sandy districts, says the Bt. Tsui
IMoneer Tress. Experiments along this
line were authorized at the last meet
ing of the highway commission and
will be commenced next spring.
Mr. Cooley plans to make two or
three experiments along this line. One
road probably will be constructed near
Ureckenrldge and the others In places
where similar conditions exist Local
authorities have found It practically
impossible to, build roads In sandy soil
where no clay, gravel or broken stone
can be obtained except at an expense
bo great as to make It out of the ques
tion, and it is for the purpose of find
ing some means of building good roads
under such conditions that the experi
ments will be made.
The federal public roads authorities
bave become Interested in the plan and
will assist to the extent of paying a
part of the expense. The local author
ities of the districts In which the roads
are to be built will be asked to pro
vide a superintendent for the work
who will carry out the plans of the en
gineer. Mr. Cooley'a plan Is to plant clover
In the road and along the sides for
some distance, and when the clover
attains a good growth and before It
begins to dry to cnt It and mix It
with the sand In the roadway. In this
way It Is expected that the nature of
the soil will be so changed in a year
or two as to make It excellent mate
rial for road building.
In a communication from the bu
reau of plant industries this question
is discussed, and the opinion Is given
that It is entirely feasible. Yellow
sweet clover Is suggested as the kind
best adapted for this work. On this
subject the communication states:
"The last named plant has been cred
ited with so completely changing the
character of the sandy soli on King's
Island, near Australia, as to make It
exceedingly productive, and tbey are
especially adapted to growing In sandy
land."
The experiments will be started next
spring where the proper conditions are
found and the assistance of the local
authorities can be secured and will be
continued for one or two years as the
progress of the experiment shows Is
necessary. If the first year's work
docs not bring the soli to a condition
which is satisfactory for roadmaklng
purposes, the same treatment will be
given the next year and even the third
year If It proves necessary.
ROAD MAINTENANCE.
Value of Patrolling Highways to Keep
Them lr Good Condition. .
The utter wastefulness and lock of
ecouomy In building roads aud mukiug
no provision for their repair and main
tenance are becoming more and more
apparent to tuxpoyers. The Importance
of the subject Is appreciated iu some
states, and measures bave been adopt
ed. There are. however, many com
munities where the necessary steps
have not yet Is-eu taken. The subject
Is treated pertinently by W. Plerre
pont White In a recent article In Out
ing Magazine. In this article Mr.
White says:
"Not one cent of mouey should be
expended lu the. creation of these ex
pensive highways unless at the same
time a system of careful maintenance
and repair Is established.
"Steam roads .when tlrst built were
permitted to run down, ties to rot, the
ends of lrou rails to flatten, bolts lu
the fish plates to become loose, until a
general overhaullug was ordered, and
an excessively expepslve amount of
repairs was made owing to th' neg
lect. Today well managed roads do
not permit this. But each road is dl
vlded Into Bectious under engineers
under assistant engineers, uuder sec
tlon bosses, with men passing dully np
and down the road, giving It constant
repair aud atteutlon. This we are fu
miliar with.
"In Europe highways are patrolled
In the same way. Men. usually old.
patrol the roads under their cure, each
In charge of a section, each responsi
ble for Its condition, aud the slightest
hole In the wearing surfarv Is detect
ed, repaired and filled In Immediately
after It commences. Ituts are detected
and filled, sluices and ditches kept
open and washing of the si tes stopped
and only by this constant care are
roads kept In good comlt'lon. This
same system must come to this coun
try and be Inaugurated it t the time
that the general Improvement Is made;
otherwise the people's money will bt
thrown away."
