IMPROVEMENT CLUB'S WORK ! What a Somervllle (Maaa.) Aaaocia tlon Haa Done. The third annual banquet of the Win ter Hill Improvement association, one of the thriving organizations of Soiner ville, Mass., with aims and purposes for the betterment of the conditions in that section in which it is located, was recently held in Somervllle, says the Boston Globe. A short business meeting was first on the programme, after which the of ficers elect were installed. These ex ercises were followed by an address, and the banquet was the last feature of the evening. The report of the secretary, Mrs. A. M. Smith, who has held the office ever j Blnce the association was formed three i years ago, was full of interest to the j members. In it she reviewed the his-; tory of the body and complimented the members on the proportion of Improve-1 ments they had succeeded in obtaining out of the number deslreD. Speaking of the membership, she said j the roll contained 118 names, 91 of i which were those of men and 27 worn-! en. Outside the list the meetings had ; been attended by a number who had j given the work of the association their support. i Mrs. Smith commeuted on the fact that a postofflce in Gilman square, named the Winter Hill statin, had , been sei-ured through the efforts of the association, and a hook and ladder truck had also been obtained for the . better protection of the homes of the , section. The menu card of the banquet j was adorned with cuts of both im- j provenients. , A:i innovation during the year will be introduced by the organization, con- j cerning which Mrs. Smith said: "The ' association has made arrangements to offer in the early spring cash prizes, to be competed for by residents of Winter Hill and vicinity, for the best kept premises, including the condition of front and back yards, the houses, fences and street in front of the house. Any one who keeps a gardener will not be eligible for the contest." Gverisned Soil f njioverished soil, like impov-i.!k-.l Wood, needs a proper , i Y.'i7.vv.

SnsrseMlons Fur Rnral Commnnltiea ' to Obtain Them. 1 Organize good road clubs. Get every association of business men, farmers, every newspaper, to push along the good roads movement. There are few other things more Important to the peo ple of agricultural communities and rural towns than the good roads prop osition, says D. M. Carr In Home Trade Advocate. It is something that every good citizen should be interested In. It Is a question of the greatest elements of economy. Good roads throughout the fanning districts of the country mean millions upon millions of dol lars yearly saved to the farmers. They mean millions more In benefits to the rural towns. Every citizen should ap point himself a committee of one to work for the end to be attained by the co-operation of the national with state governments In the road Improvement matter. Don't be afraid to write to your mem ber of congress, Individually and col lectively, and urge his support of the proposed measure for governmental ap propriation for the needed improve ment. Talk good roads to your neigh bor, join the people of your town In booming local Improvement and urge your representative In the state legis lature to give support 'to any legislation that has for Its aim better roads for the farming districts. !

The district au thorities, like our county boards, are authorized to determine what land scapes, buildings or monuments of a historical or artistic value should be protected, says the Xew York World. .Violations of the statute are made pun ishable by fine, with or without im prisonment. The statute provides against the display of pictures, adver tisements or other things calculated to mar or disfigure any especially attrac tive landscape or detract from the artistic or aesthetic effect of any build ing or other structure of special im portance or be highly prejudicial to any street or part of a town. The altera tion of buildings of historical or artis tic value may be prohibited by the local authorities, as may v construc tion of other buildings calculated to In terfere with such historical monuments.

It would be a good idea for every town, village and bamlet along the line of any railroad to put up a sign or two somewhere In proximity to the railroad station setting forth the name of the town and whatever claim it has for historic, residential and Indus trial interest, says Four Track News. Travelers often wonder when a train comes to a stop what the town is that spreads out before them and wherein lies its excuse for being. True, the railroads are doing a great deal to ex ploit and advertise the attractions, cenic and commercial, of most of the more important places, but It wouldn't be an altogether bad idea for the towns to do a little something them selves, If only to set up a bulletin of facta for the enlightenment of the pass ing traveler.

Report Favorable The Hepburn Bill, which has been under the consideration of the Interstate Commerce committee of the Senate for some time has been favorably reported without amend ment.
