The spring has been a favorable
one and the people have become
interested as never before in the
matter of planting flowerbeds and
beautifying the lawns, setting out
new and replacing and cultivating
shade trees in this city. The work
of the civic committee has aroused
a wonderful interest and in nearly
every yard in the city some evi-
dence of an attempt to beautify is
to be seen.
With Jill of the people taking an
interest in this important matter
results worth while are to be ex-
pected.
The water supply of the city is
such that if necessary same can be
relied upon to furnish water for
lawns and flowerbeds during the
hot and dry season. When the
matter of parking along the Santa
Fe was taken up by Mr. Kdwards

goodly number of jests were,appears from the reading of the
sprung and some fun poked at the
vision Mr. Kdwards had experienc-
ed and thought that it would fade
and come to naught as other vis-
ions of u like character had faded
and the remains consigned to the
catacombs to rest in peace. Not
so with Mr Edward's vision for it
would not fade or wither from his
mind and continued to haunt him
until he resolved that at what ever
cost he was going to undertake the
task of removing from the city one
dead and inert spot upon which
fell the eyes of so many people
daily and transform this particular
spot into a thing of life and beauty
to be seen, admired and talked
about by every one whose eyes be-
held it.
In the work Mr. Kdwards sought
and secured the co-operation of the
Santa Fe Company and the Klee-
trie Light Company and others and
the work was started and it hn-
now progressed far enough to re-
veal in n measure the vision caught
by Mr. Kdwards months ago
What a wonderful change would be
wrought in this city if other cit-
izens experienced a similar vision.
They may not have the vision but
observation will hav e a wholesome
effect in encouraging others to go
and do likewise for it cannot be
denied t hat the human race is great-
ly influenced by observation and
prone to imitate.

night, the Oklahoma teams lost to
their opponents in both contests.
Last year Oklahoma defeated both
schools in debate but they came
back this year with a strong deter

bate the issue was warmly discus-
ed and the outcome was extremely
doubtful as the two to one decision

year..
