FIGHTING THE BILLBOARD.
Why some Regard 1t as Permanently
Evil to Towns.

EVIL to owns
The agitation against the billboard
as a municipal Disagreement has al
ready reached goodly proportions, and
the campaign Is as yet In Its infancy,
says American Homes and Gardening.
Some efforts, and well meant efforts,
have been made to improve 1t. part
ly by designing the billboard itself and
partly by improving the designs Of the
signs. Nothing has, however, yet been
accomplished that amounts to definite
and general Improvement, and hence it
is pertinent to inquire il the billboard
is to so.
One of the most obvious steps in
municipal betterment is to do away
with unnecessary, unsightly objects.
The billboard has been unsightly 80
long that many people regard II as
permanently evil. At ali events, 1t is
cleaE that il 1t is to remain it can only
do 50 under much better conditions
than now obtain, and 1t must be sup
ported on broader grounds thnn the
fact that a handsome advertising bust.
ness has grown up through Its promo
ton. No business can be successfully
promoted by improper means. The
billboard, glazing and staring at every
point, approaches the limit beyond
which business should not go. Its mis-
fortune has been injudicious use.

How to Better the Home Town.

One e%nterprising farmer writing to
nn agricultural paper states that he
has found that he could sell his honey
for better prices In his home town
than in the large cities. He advises
every producer Of honey hving near q
town Of 1000 people or more to Gull
tivatc the market and claims that In
a place Of that size a ton Of honey
should be sold each year. He says
that II every producer of honey should
rush his crop to the big cities as soon
as gathered the price to the producer
would go down to bed rock and the
home market be bare unless returned
by commission men to local dealers.
He advises also the following Of the
same plan with other products Of the
farm. His advice is worth careful CON
siderat!on, says Home Trade Advocate.
1t Is evident that the better the home
town car be made, the better will be
the market for such products Of the
nearby farms.

Factor. In Town Prosperity,

Some Of the finest roads in all the
west are to be found in the country
tributary to Julian, Neb., and the cred
it for this condition belongs largely to
one man, c. L. Mesnet, cashier Of the
Bank Of Julian, says the Auto Advo-
cate and Country Roads. All the high
ways leading into the town are in the
finest possible condition. They are
constantly dragged with a road scraper,
which is attached to a traction en-
CINE. The roads are crowned SO that
the water drains off nicely, and the
bitches on both sides Of the roads are
so constructed that they carry Off the
water easily. The roads are as hard
and smooth as If they were macadam-
lied or asphalted, and vehicles run over
them with tile ease and lightness Of
a sulky on q race track. The funds for
the work are collected by public sub
scription, and in making these collec-
lions Mr.. Mesnet has been the leader.
The result has been to make Julian
the most prosperous town If its size
in Nebraska.
