Don't Read This.

To judge by some of our e&
changes last week, this city
has gone to the bow vows in
great leaps and bounds. If we
thought so. we would leave it.
But on the other hand we know
the Queen of the Prairies to be
as quiet and moral as any town
Of it's size that can be named.
While it is true this city has
begun to put on the frills of
metropolitanism and that the
citizens still wear fig leaves we
would like to hear from any
bodys angel" town that has
not or never has had serpent
in 1t.

profit, by reason of it's requiring
less cultivation.

dwellings free from rent to accept

Parking for the Town.

The town parks, or the town or
village square are the lungs Of its
citizens.
If the town is growing, it is none too
soon to start movement to provide
for the securing of ample town park
ing. The land is increasing; when the
town has doubled and has become a
small city, it will not be so easy to
secure sites, readily accessible to the
people, without paying an exOrbltant
price. Secure first the land; it is not
important that large amount Of
money should be at once expended
upon it's Identification, possibly it
needs but little, since nature may have
made it more beautiful than can man.
1t is not necessary that it should be
transformed into carpet beds Of
flowers and trinity kept lawns. If it
affords sunlight and a green relief of
grass and trees for the eye, it becomes
a civilizer and an equalizer, for the
poor as we'll as the wealthy, a resting
place where a man may forget, for
the time, some Of his struggles and
his anxieties in a contemplation of
what God has made.
The park should be kept, in fact, as
natural as is consistent with it's use as
such. 1t is never too early, however,
to secure its site, with view to the
building up of the community, when
land values will necessarily increase.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-08-17

Fourth of July, what wonderful
change, in a few years, would result in
the appearance of most of our towns
and villages.
Much can be done in the school to-
ward making tree planting a success
with the children. 1t is not enough
that when Arbor Day rolls around
tree should be planted by each juve-
nile member of the family. Unless the
youngsters realize that considerable
care is required the first year or two,
the trees will die, and unless they have
been taught how to care for their trees,
dead and dying specimens-failures-
will distress and discourage the youth
full mind, possibly beyond redemption.
but with reasonable attention the poor
est and the rockiest soils can be made
to produce good trees.
A SCHOOL TREE NURSERY.
Certainly there could be nothing
more fascinating than the starting of a
tree nursery, Of several good varieties,
in each school ground These nurser-
les could be started from the actual
seed, acOrns, beech nuts, hickory nuts,
chestnuts, seeds from fir cones, and
the seeds Of other trees thriving in
the locality, and all these could be
gathered by the children, and brought
in and planted by them. Then after
they had reached the proper age for
transplanting, say two years, the class
would, in an afternoon, visit a dozen
homes, and participate in the trans
planting of the seedlings, into their
permanent locations. There is an in
herent love for such things in the
American youth. It is a wonderful
thing, when you think about It, to take
a bit of a seed, put it in moist soil
see it sprout, and then watch II
through the progress of years come
forth a tender shoot, grow into a

HARVESTING THE APPLE CROP.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

large percentage of the crop from the
ground or with a very low ladder
Nevertheless you can scarcely make a
dwarf tree by any amount Of pruning
and in every apple orchard ladders Of
some kind soon become a necessity.
HANDY TYPES OF LADDERS
OF all the numerous styles of ladders,
some form Of step ladder Is best adapt
ed to the orchard, whether the welfare
Of the tree Is considered or the comfort
Of the picker. Any ladder which must
be set against the tree is a constant
menace to It. Probably the best type
of tall step ladders is one having three
legs, two comprising the legs Of the
ladder proper and the third acting as
its support. It is easily set up securely
