LADIES SHOULD CO-OPERATE.
A word to the women of Columbus. Do
you want to be of service to your town, your
home, your children, and the future citizenship
of Columbus? Do you love the city and want
to contribute to its welfare? If so, join the
Civic Improvement League, that is just now in
the initiative, in connection with the Chamber
of Commerce.
The object of this organization is .0 make
Columbus a prettier, healthier and more de-
sireaV.le place to live. We want one of the old
est and richest towns in the state. Vast agricul
tural resources are at our command. Nature
has been lavish in her gifts, but as citizens we
have not done our part, be it said to our shame.
Why should we have to go to other cities not
so fortunate, to learn to park our streets, and
pave our thoroughfares?
Columbus did not enter the cleaner cities
contest because we were not alive and at work
to reach greater achievements along conditions
of the physical beauty of our city. Our aesthe
tic nature? have been asleep as it were, and as
a consequence we are fnr behind in creating a
city beautiful.
However, the golden opportunity is at
hand, .and those who will may help by joinint?
in the movement. With two or three hundrei
exponents of cleanliness to help to create sen
sitiveness to the needs of Columbus, a grea
transformation will take place. The streets wil
be clean, lawns and flower beds will bloom
nml Ci.hinihns will, with their Chamber o
Commerce in the lead, have established bettc
civic conditions.
There will be another meeting of the Civic
Improvement League on Friday morning at 10
o'clock and all the ladies of Columbus are
urged to be present. Don't let frivilous matters
keep you at home.
IS I i A VVEAKNUS?
Not enough attention has been given to the
extention of military training, not as u war
measure, but as a domestic reform.
With an adequate navy we do not greatly
have to fear what any other nation can do to
us. Hut navy, or no navy, we do have to fear
what we do to ourselves.
The world certainly yields to none in ita
support of the personal liberty, of our citizens.
ut we believe that, to be a blessing, personal
iberty must go hand in hand with personal
discipline; that when it fails to do this it im
mediately tends to degenerate into irresponsi
ble license.

with I'aria by nu-nna of the human

"The recent corrpletion of the
transcontinental land telephone lit.?
gave the telephone engineers the
idea. It ia chiefly B iue.-tion of e'er- '6
trie current to create the electric,
wnvea to transport the sound. It
wan found that the electric current in
a wire became too weak to perform
its functions after a certain ciistance.
Four "booster stations" were estab
lished between New York and San
Francisco to Arengthen the current
when it began to grow too weak to
carry the vibrations on the diarhru-
ments in the telephone. The result
was that the current never grew in
adequate to create the necessary
waves. The engineers, I think, fig
ured that they could save wire ex
pense and other charges by having
these "booster stations" supply the
current to wireless stations, and that
happy thought solved the problem."
