How Small Communities Can BE

An article on the identifying Of

dwellings or splendid public business
structures, but rather in the develop

city officials belongs the duty Of keep

poles and burying their wires, abolish
ing the smoke nuisance, taking care OF
public buildings and their environs and
performing many other requirements
in the interest OF the towns cOnven-
fence, beauty and sanitation.

LincoIn's Kentucky Birthplace,

One hundred years ago this
month Of March, Thomas Lincoln.
of Virginia birth, laid claim to IA
little farm in the center of which
was a noted spring, sheltered from
the summer sons by a shelving
rock. The waters of that spring.
even in that early time, were ia
nous throughout Hardin County,
in which it was located, as now it
is famous throughout central Ken
lucky. Near this picturesque nat
ural spring this strong young Vir-
gilman, a carpenter by trade, built
a log cabin to which. OIL the fol-
loving 10th Of June, he brought
his bride. Nancy Hanks; and in
that little cabin, three years later,
the Lincoln family gave welcome
to the child, whose name was to he
long to the ages. On this farm
the boy Abraham used to play
with his sister and the buys of i,i7
neighborhooa. In this little cabin
Lincoln received his first schooling
in the primary three Rs from his
mother, who taught him what she
could in the long evening by the
light from spice wood twlgs hack
together upon a log.
1t was during the nine years
spent upon the farm all the real
boy hood he ever had. Though the
life there, as in Indiana and llI-
nois, as he later said was described
by the single sentence in Grays
Elegy, THE short and simple an
mails Of the poor" his real playtlme
was on the rock spring farm. Here
he was a natural boy, hunting
coons and partridge, yictlmIzlng
his pIayfeIlows with practical jokes
always accompanied his father
with grist to the mill, for the sake
of an outing, and for the same
reason he pursued the stoue-wagons
and the help which his father used
general into service along the pic
turesoue Louisville and Nashville
pike, of which the good father was
the county supervisor.-Fro "A

Plan to Promote Plant Culture.

Here is one of Chicago's measures to
advance civic Improvement:
instruction to the public in cOngested
areas of Chicago regarding the indoor
culture of plants is to be supplied by
florists employed by the south park

on application, says the Chicago Trib-
une. This il the result Of resolution
introduced before the BOARD by Com
missioner Foreman as follows:
That garden boxes he provided for
the suitable window exposures in the
NeighborhoOd Center buildings and that
flowers and plants be maintained In
them throughout the winter
That verbal and printed instructions
In indoor plant growing be provided for
the people Of the neighborhoods to en-
courage them TO grow flowers and
plants In their homes.
