AVERILL ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR-AT-LAW 818 Spitzer Building TOLEDO, OHIO For the meeting of the New Cen tury club last week Mrs. E. L. Clay was assigned the duty of pre senting a paper on "Town Im provement" and so well did she treat the subject that the club members requested the publication of the paper in the Journal. The editor is pleased to reproduce the article with the hope that it may take a strong hold on the minds of all who read it and prompt them to "unite all the force" for the development of our village. The paper follows: And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country folk to be up and arm. " In the foregoing lines they are In the foregoing lines and in deed in the whole poem from which they are taken, Long fellow has portrayed a con dition of public sentiment and patriotism that could exist only in communities in which par ticipation in public affairs was of almost every day occurrence. Paul Revere 's own account of this his toric ride is not less stirring than the poet's, but the chief lesson to be drawn from it is that the peo ple all along his route were well informed regarding public affairs as a result of their frequent meet ings public and secret. There are many things that citi zens as individuals and in organ ized groups can do to promote the prosperity of their town, thus be coming, as it were,, animate links in an endless chain, that shall bind all together for mutual benefit. Living in a community at the same time that it confers benefits and advantages, incurs duties and ob ligations and the town is but a mirror or reflection of the charac ter of its citizens. He who will litter its streets and highways with waste and rubbish, throw refuse in the streets, or who with pencil or match mars its buildings and monuments, must be lacking in the finer instincts of humanitj'. It is just a little care fulness and thoughtfulness and personal responsibility that trans forms a community, thus making it fitly representative of a higher type of citizenship and of a broad er culture. Does anyone suppose that every thing in this town is exactly as it should be and that there is no pos sibility of improvement? Of course not. Everyone knows that there is room here and opportunity for improvement aud growth, and everybody knows that the first step is to acknowledge that fact, for, remember, when your town stops growing, it is because its people have stopped growing. There is much tliat is good also in this community, but there arc numberless opportunities for im provement and we must be ready to take advantage of them on every occasion. Just as the needs touch all of us men or women so all must unite in taking steps for the town's rejuvenation and preservation. In every community are lying dormant forces, that if utilized would work wonders from stagnation to progress. What kind of a town is ours? Have we any resources that should bo dcvol ( Continued on Eighth Page.) Sign of Good Digestion. When you see a cheerful and happy old lady you may know that she has good digestion.

Evidently there is a call to "come back" sounding in the ears of our friend, Sir. C. A. Himmel man, of Cleveland, as indicated by the following verses in- which he sings of the old river whose beauties arc "calling" him home: Dear E1: How arc ye 7 And how Is the weather? Have the woodpeckers Bturtcd to sing? Can you send me a medal of leather Tor "The Maumee a Tonic in Sprlnu"? Here's the dope. (Eit I'll dare you and double, I To publish this hullabaloo Don't come back on me It there's trouble, I Or, If Taylor Koes itunninit for youl) These jinitlcs so jangled together i Are some of the usual junk. You sec, I am loose of n tether, And that's why the rhymlnir is punk. ' Still, let us not be too laconic' It's Spring, and a time to renew. So I sing of the Maumee as tonic. And eke of a gliding canoe: THE MAUMEE A TONIC IN SPRINT. I am puffing a cob of old hurley 'Mid a fragrance of blue wispy hnze. As I dreum of a charming old Kirlie My pal cf those halcyon days When "hookie" meant down by the willowi, ' Near heaven an hour or two. On the Maumeo's old bosom of. billows i To paddle a home-made canoe. Oh I Gccl What a darllns I thought her She cosed all the burdens ami strife. The Maumee old Erie's sweet daughter By golly, Ed, that a3 the life. She's still as attractive as cor; So, flirt with her, flatter her, too; She'll never go back on jou neerl ' But welcome your gliding canoe. Is your lier inclined to be lazy?. Are jour bellows as wheezy us flzz7 Is your outlook on business tou hazy To grip the efficiency quiz? Then lay olf the gasoline nvor Here's a hunch, Ed, intended fur you Get out cui the handy old river And paddle a gliding canoe. Have you got a ee crick in your back, eh? Or a tech o' the spring feer germ? Are your biceps a trifle too slacky night now when they ought to be firm 7 Let us call back the days that werealmy Take a tip that is tested and true Get out on the healthy old Maumee And paddle your gliding canoe. Are the bats playin' hob in your belfry? Is the night-mare a klckin' your stall ? Or the clock alarm ringin' like helfry Before you've slept any at all? Then listen, Ed, -here's what you'd ought tcr Be doing your youth to renew Get out on the placid old water And paddle your gliding canoe. There are tonics and powders and plastcis And crutches and tablets and pills And pow wows for all the disasters That trail on the millions of ilia. But leave those to old sister Sally And let 'em go hang. As for you Lay a bet on the Queen of the valley And paddle your gliding cunoe. Believe ME some day we are coming To bide in the old town, and stay. Abandon the strenuous thrumming. The hustle and rush of today. While knocking on wood like a diummer. One thing I am planning to do Is, flirt with the old stream in summer And paddle a gliding canoe. Sincerely, C A. HIMMELMAN."
