thrifty shade trees on the residence
streets. Every citizen should make it his
special duLy 10 pant shdus trees III AlV'11
of his residence property. Shade trees
add to the healthfulness az well as the
beauty of a town. They cost but a tri1e

tiers in a mercenary light it ought to re-
quire but little argument to convince the
most skeptical that it pays IN dollars and
cents to plant and care for shade trees.
