"Capitalize your ideals," the slogan of the American Association of Com mercial Executives, typifies the twen tieth century attitude toward civic bet terment work. For ages the message to the man of affairs has been "ideal ize your capital." The emphasis has been placed upon charity rather than upon justice, and the only stimulus to good deeds has too often been the fear of punishment or hope of reward in the world to come, says the Ameri can City. It is said—and with much truth— that we are living in a materialistic age. But in our search for w r ealth and comfort a remarkable discovery Vtas been made. We have learned that the happiness of each depends upon the happiness of all. We have learned that righteousness pays here and now. We have learned, in short, that our ideals may be capitalized. And are we thereby lowering our ideals? Ask your townsmen their preference as a place of recreation for their children—a playground maintain ed by charity or a playground main tained by self respecting citizens from a properly assessed tax fund. Ask them whether they would vote to abandon their present policy of sup porting public schools by taxation and depend on philanthropy to educate the coming generation, that high ideals may thrive thereby, or ask them if they w r ould sell to some neighboring town their fine waterworks and return to the precarious supply of impure water that they formerly thought to be good enough. Because these things have paid and because the citizens are therefore glad to maintain them are they for that reason less ideal? No. The ideal of today is the square deal, and it pays profits on all four sides of the square. WHAT MAKES A CITY. Activity of People and Employment In Trade and Commerce Are Needed. Many towms have ambitions to be come great commercial centers. Cham bers of commerce and commercial clubs are organized and a great noise made about what could be accom plished through the w r ork of organiza tion. Too often the ones in charge of the w r ork of town building overshoot the mark. They fail to recognize the working out of natural law in country development. They boost their town by extensive advertising, briuging in people to build homes, but overlook the main fact that no city can hope to maintain any great population with out there being employment which will supply subsistence. In many of the southwestern towns the field for manufacturing is limited. There are only certain raw materials that can be utilized, and then there is the question of skilled labor, which is a great factor in the economy of man ufacturing. The town that is built upon an un sound foundation is sure to become a moribund place. Each city must draw its support from a multitude of small er places or must be sustained by manufacturing that will give employ ment to its people. Without either of these its growth must be limited, and its people must be contented with their town as merely a local trading point. The building of residences does not make a city. 'Tis the activity of the people and their employment in lines of trade and commerce.—Agricul tural Southwest. HOGS CAN'T PROMENADE. Kentucky Town Council Forbids Them the Use of Streets. An order just promulgated is caus ing a lot of comment and not a little ill feeling in Hazard. Ivy. The order reads as follows: "By Order of the Town Council: "All hogs must be put in pens and kept off the streets hereafter. Any hogs found on the streets will be put in the town pen by the marshal and kept there at the expense of the own ers. "It is a matter of town pride and Hazard spirit to quit associating with hogs on our streets. Every hog owner wi!l certainly not hesitate to keep the hogs out of sight hereafter." An Original Ad. A Chinese, George Lee, who has a laundry in Providence, R. 1., says the Journal of that city, has a sign in his window soliciting patronage that is a gem of its kind. It reads somewhat as follows: "George Lee, Hand Washing Chi nese, first Glass Laundry, all change. New Man working in here. Has not yet before peoples. I air. come From Boston. Was Wash every Day, except Saturday and Sunday. I make you all everything clean and Beautiful. I am better lose sum of them again who soeve Ladie and Gent and hopeful youse bring up try once and can make you for satisfaction. And Guarantee opening 5 o'clock in the morning and unfc'l 11 o'clock evening for certain." The sign has attracted much atten tion, and few pass the place without reading it over and over. Celebrate Big Improvement. Business was practically suspended at Easton, Md., the day the town start ed its $110,000 improvement by break ing ground for its new sewer system. Oiling a City.
