tits strange thing to us that so many
PEOPLE are Indifferent to this subject. The

article on shade trees, says:
IN the most beautiful cities OF the
World the shade trees are scarcely second

architects and city foresters supplement-
each other, and tho most delightful scenes
are those in which the efforts Of both
blend tremendously. American towns,
as a rule, spring up Without attention
to shade trees, but the time comes when
the lack Is pressed upon public atten-
ton by comparison with other cities that
have been less negligent. supcrficially
viewed, shade trees are q minor item.

Shade trees are not merely ornaments.

There is no doubt that Grove Road

The Literary Downpour.

The so-called holiday season being now
hard upon us the publishers of books
are up and doing. That King Solomon,
in his day and generation, should have
perceived that making many books"
was an endless business, is somewhat
curious. or his transendent astuteness.
we need ask no further proof than that!
Only 1t is doubtful 4 even he really sus-
pcctcd how wonderfully the future was
to make that statement good,
II Is a safe guess that more books
have been printed this year than ever
before In the history Of the compositors
art. OF all sorts and conditions. all
shapes and thues, all merits and dement's,
they stream In truck loads from thou
sand presses. This much Is as plain as
cold fact itself. But, that other point,
as to causes and reasons, continues
slrouded in the mystery OF right. What
are all these books printed for? Who
reads them, and even moro to the point
who buys them?5
When an author has gotten along far
enough for his nnnTe to be reasonably
familiar to the perusers of light fiction.
when he has written. say one successful
novel, and had his picture in the literary
monthlies, everything is perfectly plain.
People from certain class In organized
society flock to buy him. Publishers fall
over each other in the rivalry to exploit
him for gain, and amiube reviewers do
their best to brighten still further his
fortunate horizons.
But how about the unknown author Of
a first book Even II it Is fairly readable,
| who buys it and why? Surely enough.
| books are being written by men and wo-
| men who arc not unknown TO keep the

The great mystery Of latter-day pub

all the books? In regard to good many
