A live town does things and a town that is not alive is sure to be the opposite—a dead one. Which shall it be? The Chicago & Erie railroad has a force of men here beautifying their grounds and they will have an attractive little park when they finish the job. All of which is in harmony with the effort to clean up and make more attractive the best town in the state. It might be well for those who sneer at Woodrow Wilson because he is a minority president, to remember that the immortal Lincoln was also in that class, as was Garfield, Cleveland, Harrison, Polk Taylor and Buchanan. He is never-the-less the president of the United States and entitled to the support of the whole American people, for he is an honest, capable and conscientious official. Boost for the children’s slides. An effort is being made to raise enough money to purchase several of these. The first two will be placed in the central school yard and the Catholic school yard and they will provide amusement for hundreds of children —good, clean, healthy and wholesome amusement. Loosen up your old leather and put this over quickly. Let’s see if we can’t get enough money this week to buy the two slides, or even three or four. Mr. and Mrs. James Crozier of Union township were business visitors in the city today.
