We notice in our exchanges a
number of towns are having heavy
penalties to pay on account of dam
ages sustained by dilapidated side
walks. A broken board in the walk
cost one town 5'2,500. A word to
the wise is sufficient.
Mrs. A. C. Parker, of Philadel

Main street for the summer. Mrs.
Parker is accompanied by her

the tow n w hen the Professor makes
his appearance each summer. He
not only takes an interest iu town
developements but also assists in

What a different appearance this
town would present if the powers
that are would simply enforce the
sidewalk ordinance now upon the
big book. < >ll one of our main street
corners is a most outrageous walk.
A disgrace. If the Burgess would
get busy this stony foot-path ()
would no longer be a cause for the
shafts of ridicule («> be justly thrust
at the community which meekly
olerates deplorable conditions.
Our town now has the genuine!
appearance of a summer resort
The three colored servants at Miss
Finuegan's cottage makes a new
feature Laporte never before en
joyed.
The few remaining boardwalks iu
town, (relics of better days,) nre;
among Ihe Borough's equipment
which may some day involve the |
town in heavy damages to come
out of the pockets of the "dear peo
ple."
The name of Laporte stands for
a picture in the minds of many of
our citizens.as well as all those who
have lingered even for a few Meet
ing days within the charm of its
wooing beauty. It stands not
alone as a pleasant picture but as
a future ideal resort to its own few
loyal citizens. The town is unique
for its wealth in till that goes to
make a charming summer abode,
'lake observation of the properties
in town where the owners have
realized and grasped their oppor- j
tunity by adding a little touch to I
nature's greatness. Is it not a i
picture as appealing and inspiring j
as any landscape painting ever dis-;
played in public or private galleries
of rare art ?
it is with much regret that we
learned of the vandalism which
could hardly be thought to exist, in
this peaceful town, performing its!
shameful acts iu Mt. Ash cemetery, j
Costly plants in full bloom over
recently covered graves have been j
broken down and ruined. It seems j
next to impossible that we have j
those in our town so low down in
the scale of humanity that they
will destroy and steal flowers from
the dead. Let no one touch a!
flower in our cemetery. To destroy j
and steal from the living is bad j
enough but to steal from the dead ;
multiplies the enormity of the j
.
crime.
We are pleased to note a determi
nation on the part of some of our
citizens, and the ladies in general to
beautify the village park with large
and handsome flowers beds. This
is ceitainly most commendable bu
there is a sequal to the story. The
town council seem immovable in j
their determination to allow such a |
growth of hay as to make the beds j
wholly obscured from the street. As |
the growth is large and heavy will!
some one make the Council a liberal
offer for the crop'.' Ifelp the hon
orable body to develope an abnormal i
reputation as scientific economizers, j
The next important step for prop-1
erty owners of Laporte to take is to
elect a Board of Councilinen. Coun
cilman that are >ane, councilinen
with backbones, lfyou want a pros
perous town where people can come
who are disposed to make summer
homes, then do away with and bury
from sight all jealousy and spite
work. Move for the common pros
perity and mutual beuetit. Wake
up, rub your eyes, roll up your
sleeves and goto work. Do not j
work with fear and trembling, but
take for granted that blood will tell, j
Dispose of our "scrapping" council j
men, and every councilman who is '
so badly contracted from the neck
up as to oppose the desires and pro
gress of the Village Improvement!
Society, because of the well known '
fact that all honors are pointing j
their way. The "white wings" j
already have the honors of getting
the old town aroused from its slum j
bers and they are moving right on, j
moving everything that comes in
their way. They invite masculine
assistance. Who will lag? Don't
flinch. Don't foul. Hit the line
hard. Don't he a mollycoddle, "(io
to work !"
Yesterday we were asked if we
ever saw a haldheaded woman. We
auswered "No," we never did, nor
did we ever see a woman waltzing
around town in her shirt sleeves with
a cigar in her teeth and running in
to every bar-room she passed. We
never seen a woman go Ashing with
a bottle iu her pocket, sit on the
damp ground all day and torno home
drunk at night, Uod bless her, she's
not built that way.

BOOMING HIS TOWN.
How a Young Board of Trade President
"Made Good" With the People. I
Systematic' towu boosting is n fea- !
tuie of American business activity
wliicli aims at the general good instead i
of personal profit. One western towu j
bail a board of trade which had slept
alonst for years without doing anything
in particular, except eating some food ,
once a year at a banquet and listening
to some spread eagle oratory, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The organization
became moribund, and its presidency
was ii n honor no longer sought for.
The directors met and gave the place
to a young man of the type "we like to
encourage." The young man took his
job seriously and went "to work. It
wasn't long before he grew an Idea of
his own.
Every family that moved to town he
spotted. Employment was provided
for the breadwinners where necessary,
and the new people were made to feel
at home. When this personal atten
tion had got in its work, a representa
tive of Hie board of trade interviewed
the head of the new family. This In
terview was incorporated into a letter;
mimeograph copies were made, put into
stamped envelopes and made ready to
mail. Then the letters were taken to
the newcomer, and be was asked to
address them to his friends "back
east." The scheme worked like magic,
and the population boomed. Of that
idea many new ones were born. The
young man lias been several times re
elected president of the board of trade,
and lie can have anything the people
of that town can give him.
School Gardens Create Taste.
The educational value of the school
garden cannot be overestimated. What
we want to do is to teach the children
taste—get taste Into the child, get taste
into the household and then dually taste
into the and when we have
doue this we need not fear the results,
says the Los Angeles Times. The lack
of taste in the community generally Is
an unfortunate fact, notwithstanding
our grand school system, and may be
attributed in a large degree to the
failure to appreciate Its necessity by
our educators. It is particularly pleas
ing to those most deeply interested to
note how universal is becoming the
demand for school gardens. Iteform in
many branches of public improvement
would be far easier of accomplishment
now had the children of the previous
generation been trained in the funda
mental principles of taste, the power
of perceiving, appreciating and discov
ering beauty and excellence. The more
we consider ihe curriculum of our pub
lic schools, the more we perceive how
It could be improved to meet the chang
ing conditions of our American life.
Our children need far more than the
three It's to tit them for citizenship as
it is drawing upon us. The atmosphere
and appurtenances of the schoolroom
should tend to impart culture and
taste, which in furn are transferred to
the home and thus minister to the gen
eral upbuilding. One of the surest and
best ways to accomplish this greatest
good to both school and home is to
carry at times the schoolroom (figura
tively, at least) out Into the pure and
elevating atmosphere and Influence of
the school garden.
