Concerning the ParIor.

The arrangement OF a parlOr has al
ways seemed 10 me to involve ques
tiOns having a certain ethical value,
since, If a parlOr means anything, II
means "A place in which mans rela-
tions with his fellows may be carried
on. those relations I'm which all sug
gcstion OF business or Of Il professional
character are for the time being
dropped. Thus you not only want TO
provide a seat for the ncighbOr whC
drops in TO see you, bu' you want to
make that seat comfortable. You also
want TO refresh his eye with agreeable
objects as ne sits there, shielding il
from Glaring lights, and so arranging
your other belongings that his vision
tempted TO roam while he waits, does
not come plump upon some ugly object
in another room. You must never by
the way. forget the end of the visual
line. as it were. Landscape artists and
architects study it. ana the mistress Of
the household never loses sight Of it.
Chairs and sofas and tables should be
pulled about, tried in one place and
then in another, until the desideratum
is reached.
As your possessions increase, too,
you must be ready TO move things
again, even those which until that mo
mcnt have always seemed to you Eek
actly right" The coming of new
picture into an apartment sometimes
means the entire Encouragement Of all
the rooms, since everything else may
be thrown out of key. But If your

tainly worth the trouble you may
have 10 take in bringing the rest of
your belongings into right relations
with It. No one, however, who loves
good pictures is unwilling to do this

WHAT COUNTRY EDITORS CAN DO
Henry NJ. Mcintosh Has Won National
Fame by "a Unique Crusade.

Fame by Unique Crusade.
Henry NJ. Mcintosh is an editor of n
paper in the small town of Albany.
Ca, at whom recently many floral
tributes rs theatrical critics call
them. have been thrown. The ccca-
sion Is due to the attention which has
drawn TO his locality and the efforts
he has pcriSstCntly made To make It's
resources not only known to the Uni
ted States Government, but TO invest
Ors who want To put their money
where it will do the most good. Here
is how he did il, as the story is told by
the san Francisco Call:
The explanation is simple. A plant
or who was digging well in search Of
pure water. free from the unwhole-
some elements in the surface waters Of
the country, tapped vein from which
; an abundant stream flowed forth.
Here was proof that the country is an
artCsian belt. The country editor took
IL up, and week aftcrwcck he preached
artcsian wells until they became nu-
mcrous. With their appearance sick
that bad water had been almost the
sole cause of i'll health that the eli
mate is really wholesome; that the
odor Of the pines in the air gave vigor
10 weak lungs, and then the editor be-
gan TO boom the country as health re-
sort and he kept at 1t until company
built tourist hotel and people began
TO 80 from the North 10 spend the win
ter there To supply the hotels farm
crs began To grow fruits and vcgeta-
blcs. and the soil was found TO hc Won
dCrfully fertile. and then the editor
urged the planters to give up cotton
ard cultivate watermClons and truck
gardens They followed his advice.
ana now the country IS getting rich.
while this story is interesting in IL
self the chief interest is in the moral
of IL. Mr.. Mcintosh is not the only
country editor who in season and out
Of season has advertised the resources
OF his community. and in bad years or
good years has urged his people To
keep moving I'm the direction OF inn
provemcnt There is not n single couu-
~ in California that has lot an editor
who has done much of that kind of
work our exchanges show how
prompt country editors are to advertise
and promote anything that even SO
much as promises good for the commu-
nifty rs whole. These men never
get the praise the Georgia editor is
now getting. but most OF them as tully
deserve IL. and Califoruians shoalI bS
prompt IN giving IT,"
