THE "BLOCK BEAUTIFUL"
Brook1yn's Plan to Improve and
Beautify the Town.

BroOkIyn's Plan to Improve and
Beautify the Town.
Village improvement societies that
find it difficult to interest their citizens
in town identifying might adopt the
Brooklyn ''block beautiful- plan to
good advantage. The scheme started
on one block in the City of Churches
other residents, and much was done to
improve and beautify the town. The
movement is to be extended this year,
and already the Heights branch of the
Women's Municipal league, which is
the moving spirit in the matter, is at
work among the residents of the city.
particularly in the Heights section, and
urging the extension of the work be-
gun last year.
The object of the league is to encour-
age the identifying of the city as far
as possible, and n of the mean
adopted is the planting of trees, shrubs
and vines and caring for and protect
ing those already growing. The league
In its work proposes to secure permits
for all those who may desire to plant
trees in front of their residences and to
advise with residents on the best kind
of tree to plant and to give sugges-
tons for the further identifying of the
exterior surroundings of the house as
may be desired.
The league will also advise concern
ing window boxes, which add material
ly to the beauty of the house, giving
hints as to their color and general de-
sign, so as to harmonic with the ar
chitectural appearance of the house.
Another scheme which the league Is
promoting is hat of turning the yards
In the real Of houses into gardens.
The plan is to do away with the high
board fences that separate the yards
and in their places put a small wire
net with a mesh Of handsome design
and by the planting of shrubs. flowers,
grass and the building of arbors, COW
cred with vines, to give the yards the
appearance of small parks and afford
a delightful retreat during the heat of
the day.

Flower. For the Back Yard.

The flowers to be found in the UMPIRE
tentious but pretty gardens of new

says the Woman's Home Companion
Morning glory vines and woodbine al

low buildings in a reasonably brief
space of time and If encouraged will
run riotously yer trellises or arbors.
The common crimson variety of petu-
MAS will flourish with very little at
tention and present a most pleasing
appearance. Scarlet geraniums and
vivid hued petunias are ~favorites, as is
also the yellow ~coreopsis. Roses of the
common variety of course have places,
and so likewise do lady's slippers, cell
andine and zinnias.

Work on the Bell Telephone company
new line. giving Wichita a more direct
connection with eastern Kansas and with
Kansas City is being pushed rapidly to
completion The lire under construction
is about one hundred and twenty-five
miles long and connects Wichita with
lola thus giving Wichita access to all
of the companys connections in eastern
Kansas towns and shortening the dis
lance to Kansas City by many miles.
The company has many lines in eastern
and northern Kansas and also from
Wichita west but the large territory east
of Wichita to lola has never been open
ed There has been a line carrying two
wires running as far east rs FL Dorado.
This line is being extended to lola and
will open a new and what is thought to
be a very profitable territory. From FL
Dorado east the line follows the exact
line OF the Missouri Pacific tracks All Of
TIE poles are in place ana are ready for
the wires. Six wires are being strung
on the new line and the men have worked
almost as far this way IS Eureka. It
IS thought that the new line. giving
Wichita six more wires to Kansas City.
viii be completed by August 10.
BESIDES this line the company is work
ing on several new extensions. They
have twenty-five gangs OF men at this
work in the Kansas division, five Of
which are located in the Wichita division.
Amons these extensions the one from
I.ycns to Great Bend is of the greatest
interest 10 Wichita people.
