CROMAR IN WOM ESSAY Tell* How To Beautiful And T, Raymond Croats r., was the winner of flrat prinethe eaaay coated by the Womai dub to in duce school boys and , to suggest methodi of town heal tion/Thc piize was five dollara gold. There were aevtnal 1 UatanU, all of them writing exet t oe.ays ar.d inadiig hejpful gag. Ray mr.id'a eaaay follow I; X* It Is a fact, wtiiehfgrim reality fon.ee even the moat aigont of Dunn's admirers to admit, Uutt there are many spots erven in tha heart of the town, that give to visitors a disagree- - able impression of youg Iowa. In its wry center thore Is m entire block which Is barren of agytbisg that is beautiful. Our hack long, vacant lots and alleys are overgrown with woods and kept chocked ay with garbage nnii refuse. The Atlantic Coast Line Depot, for both freight, and passen ger trade, Is placed right in the midst of the busiest auction of Dunn, and the trucks are often filled with ca t a every description, tgg crossings arv blocked, and, as a r«.c]L tbs general public is inconvunieBepg: Uut, for every ill th«o is some rc-. medy, and ws propose to find too re-1 medy which is bust suited to this case, i Dunn is in need of g civic organi zation which will have as its parpozc ibe beautifying- of tMa. town. There U net a citizen of DudU who will not _>L.. Sk. lamz. L. _ « w.« .tail but hardly eat, if W* were called upon, could tell what Mould be done or where to begin. Wo need an o( ranltation which can U#c the load in : fCii inattera. to forsp^omc plan of action for those who are anxious to or thr work done, bet-do not Vow now to do it. There la nothing hol ier than such an orgnnlsa-on to lend .1 the undertaking. At a suggestion »e ^11 state that there is much room tor knproTtmort n the -.evidential section of the town, he safest way to begte-aueh a gan rral clran-up piogrami is to bog n at our own front door. Nalhi.ig help* the looks of a homo mors than a rieau lawn, well trimmed uses, and clean slloywsy* around th*- yard. Mnny of us would bo surprised to jrv the difference which, a few bow woik would make iu tho appearance of our hones • „• is the mam facto,-In tha derclopmeol if any comrour.itp. In tha ditelios In town, we hare not >nly an unpleasant sight, but a dan ger to the health agd safety of the lillscns. By uamg cuvets, we could iliminata the-ditch, and, in so doing, not only ralao tho standards of health 9 id safety, but also improve the whs of the place. Wo hare, or most of ns have, had 10 wait tor trains In other townl, and re cpoke of that town us a "dcadone." ■re aid col stop tv think that our* is iust as bad. If not worse. A person »ho comer here on business for Just t few boars, does not huv« any place .o rats tbs time between trains. The itarion Is not attractive, freight trains pvo' at all hours, in tael there is r.o sttmetire spat anywhere around him. I C/e should huve a depot where there I a no freight handled, m union pas- i -rnrer depot, in the op-town section i and have a freighv depot in the adze! o1 town. We would, then, be able I to make (he depot end it* surround- j Inge a pleasant place. Ibo bare spot opposite the depot, ImowB ai Lucknow, should be eon verted into a park for those who have not the timo to visit other pleree in town. The traveling aean who hac to n wait around the depot, would then ’ju able to pass hie I'snu mere pleas antly, and would carry away with him a more favoiab'.t Impression of cur town. Aside from this, wo should Have a park in the edge of town. Several site* have bran offered, and nothing; remains to be done but to put the place in order. Duaa, at present has no public places fee recreation. The things maul, needed to Baku Matin a beautiful town are: clean,’ rxat homes, clean streets and side-1 walks, proper rare of vaeaut lota and public buildings, alleyc, a onion de-. pel up town, with the freight depot on the edge of town, and an up-town and suburban park. When wo get busy enough to se cure there things .then we will have I ho problem of pre*“rly maintaining them. U should be the duty of every cif.ren of Dunn to Coupersrte with the executive organisation in keeping • ho town beautified. Evsry man ean keep his boms aad the place tur lounding bin bualaeaa looking right, while the town cun keep the ptfblic property clean aad In 'a respectable eonditiea. If we follow this plan, I am ‘.her onrhlv convinced that wo would have n more beautiful Dunn. nti|* aiimoj i smw«ne»isnt Exr-clees by ths primary and In U-rmediats gvsdco «tfl hh held Thurs day night.
