The tendency to civic improvement and the amelioration of conditions that surround people in bin cities is toward beauty a- well a- utility, and the outdoor brealliinn space-.

The city that expectto ut'ow cannot uive up any parked space even (o aciptirc another outside it- limits. Kvery such spot is needed, if not at present, in the demands of the future.

The above i- especially applicable to Newberry at this time, when we have an opportunity, which will probably never come anain. to widen many of our streets and to otherwise improve and beautify the city, ll we would learn from the experience of other cities, that forgot to widen their streets when the opportunity presented itself, we would not let pa-s the opportunity which we now have. Missouri has recently pa-sed a law authorizing farmers to make a trademark of the name of their farms. This is a l'o11d law. and it embodies a uood idea. II a fanner i- successful in raising a special kind of fruit or yrain or crop tit any -o.t it will be worth something' to him to iiave the name of his farm registered and serve aa permanent advertisemenl of his products. There is no reason why such a trade-mark should not be as valuable to the farmer or fruit-grower or market gardener or dairy-far-j mcr as his trade-mark is to manufacturer or merchant. It is the custom in the Old World to name estates, and in Scandinav.au countries the name of the estates becomes part of the name of the family. The value of the custom of naming farms and estates has been shown in many cases where certain products, as wines, have become famous under such names. The example of Missouri is one that miyh! be well followed throughout the country.?Columbia State. Such a law would be of great advantage to farmers who take pride in ''nil !":im;iiiill iii their A)i?! * 11: i- '; > i?*ii 11 wb\ i.i>! "iic i>i '??* ~ in >11', | ?.,i? - .n:'1 ' I' I il i! .1 !

Willie was regular mother's hoy, a writer in the Chicago Trihnne declares. lie was so devoted to her that lie could not hear to have any one else ilo things for him, not ovwn hi)* indulgent father. One niirht he called his lather to his bedside. " Papa," he said, ''will you please lo hrin? tne a irlass of water?" His father went for the water, -lowing with pride at the unusual mmntons, and when Willie had taken his drink the parent's curios'ty trot' the better of him. "Why," he asked, "did you call me tonight, instead of your mother?" "Oh, there's been a dressmaker here today, and 1 was afraid there niijrhl be some pins or needles on the floor to >ret into mama's feet," replied Willie, innocently. Shaking Him Up.

Intelligent and unbiased men and women, no matter what their own beliefs, political, religious and social. who travel about the world and learn to know the natives of other regions, have most of their prejudices P1' removed and find that there is a great common humanity where all can meet ^e on fairlv c<|iial terms. le?
