Plant Trees.

The utter ugliness Of village streets Is
sometimes an eye-sOre, that cannot be
remedied, to feminine eyes. Too often
the streets are dusty. hot lanes
bordered on both sides with a fringe Of
dog-fennel in full bloom-and minus
shade tree. Too many small towns
and my own has been among the num-
Der but l am glad to say that the law
has been repealed,-have a law pro-
hibiting the planting Of shade trees
outside Of the yard. The city fathers
objection is that the roots of the trees
spread underneath the pavement, grow
in size and push the brick out of place
This Is very poor excuse, for pave
ments do not last always; and who
would put up with the discomfort of
blazing sun throughout the hot months
to save spending a few cents for re-
pairs?
l am well aware that even in this day
of clubs, there are numbers of
women who do not believe in them, and
do not have their names on any MEM
bership roll. But l believe that every
small town. and special stress is put
on the word small, needs a Civic club
composed of women and also men if
they happen to be in sympathy with
the clubs object
There Is a street in New Orleans that
exactly fits my ideal. 1t is very broad,
and the street car track is In the mid
die with row of trees on both sides
then the two carriage drives next to
the pavements. These two rows Of
trees cast a delightful shade over the
| whole street on the sunniest day. If
this can be done in city. what
nonsense to say that it cannot he done
| in towns where the street car system
| docs not extend.
Don't You remember the story of the
man who had only Il few spare dollars?
These he invested in not very dcsir-
| able town lot absolutely bar" Of shade
He also invested in number OF good
young shade trees and planted them
on his lot In few years these were
fine, Wcll-grown trees. He had 4
chance to sell his property and those
trees were valued at one hundred dol
lars each. Thus you see that trees
possess not only beauty and comfort
but also have n commercial value But
| let me advise that when you plant trees
get the very best. Large trees are not
the bst. and too often both time and
strength are lost in going to the woods
and digging up those with spreading
woody roots. Get your trees from Il
reliable nursery and your efforts will
| he crowned with success. Trees will
beautify your home and your street.
