Thirteen cities and towns in the Pa

BEAUTIFY YOUR FACTORIES!
Valuable as an Advertising Feature
and Beneficial to EMPLOYEES.


and Beneficial to Employees.
Scores of newspaper articles are writ
ten about improvement Of public
streets; magazines galore are published
In regard to identifying homes and
grounds; prizes are offered to certain
classes Of people as an incentive to-
ward gardening back yards; public
Fairgrounds are esta blished and school
yards tastefully kept. We pass judg-
ment on all these things and call them
good, says the Los Angeles Times. In
this land of sunshine. where vegetation
grows with almost no cultivation and
where to beautify at least the exterior
and grounds of our manufactures
would require so little effort, this
should be done not only for the moral
and aesthetic influence on the employ
ees but really as an advertising fea
ture, always showing tourists that
even working shops can be made beau
ttful by nature in our California.
Not one but many travellers have re-
marked about the vine covered water
tank practical thing truly at GER
tain station near Los Angeles on the
Salt Lake railroad. The eye and mind
are rested at seeing bit of greenery
there. The electric power houses sta
toned at intervals all the way from
Pomona valley to several thousand feet
above in San Antonio canyon show
what can be done in simple landscape
gardening in waste places. Every wea-
~ climber coming around bend in
the trail up there among the mountains
can assure you that the vision of
blooming flowers. we'll kept lawn and
maybe fountain is a welcome sight.
The writer has In mind two facto-
ries, one so pretty and refreshing that
the passerby thinks it must be a pleas
ure to sit near the low open win
dows in summer and glance out occa-
sionally from the work of cutting
leather and hammering tacks, for it is
a shoe factory in Holland, Mich, to
which l refer, to plot of fresh green
grass. That glance does not detract
from the work, but makes the fingers
more nimble and the mind more clear
Must we Of the golden west go back
east to find the beautiful in nature
combined with utility in supplying the
needs of our bodies? Can we have no
such ornamental practical factories Of
our own? Another, perhaps more pre-
tentious, is the home of the famous
lockwood pottery in Cincinnati. Do
you doubt that the influence Of these
beautiful surroundings on the artists
who decorate this ware works out
through their active fingers? Our
ground is as fertile, our workingmen
as appreciative, our own minds as aes-
thetic as any in the east. Let us lock
to our factories. at least to the extent
of improving them by the addition of
few clipging vines to hide and soften
the glare of walls and the harsh, con-
ventional outlines Of the buildings.

CATCHING 4 Cobra.

A driver on the Avontuur railway,

River News.

The Ruth is progressing as rapidly as
possible. About 10 men are at work
under the supervision of Capt. Lannean.
All of her ribs have been placed in
position and the work of planking the
hull was started on Tuesday. The new
boat is about five feet above the water
at present. 1t is expected that the
water will rise sufficiently high to float
the boat when the time arrives.
The ferry will have to discontinue
anaking trips in few days if the water
continues to rise. The next nearest
ferry in operation is at La Clede. A
rowboat service will be maintained for
foot passengers at this point.
Engineer Billy Ross of the Metaline
appears lonesome every Saturday night
when that boat lays over at this port.
Ills friends say that the attractions at
che lower end of the river are greater
for Billy than anybody about Newport.
Can it be possible?
The river is rising steadily and bids
fair to nearly equal the stage arrived at
last season. There is great deal of
drift wood running and this makes it
dangerous to operate small launches
after dark or in the swift water.
One of the piers at the Jurgens boom
is about ready to tip over 1t is thought
that the pier was driven in the rock and
did not enter it far enough to hold.
The Metaline now takes the west pas
sage of the river next to the island on
the up trip.
The Spokane has brought up over
1000 poles during the past week for the
Northern Mercantile Co. in addition to
those for other parties.

Lloyd McMorran is acting as checker
for the Navigation Co. He checks the
poles from the barges as they are hauled
up the chutes.
John McClung is acting as steward on
the Newport.
Capt. Jim Stewart is still in charge OF
the Spokane. That vessel is the flag
ship of the Navigation Co.'S. fleet.
Not Il boat on the upper river carries
the American flag. Wonder what is the
reason?
The Silver-Lead Co. has a raft of
lumber near the Northern Mercantile
Co.'S. hoist. They will float it down the
river this week. 1t will be used IN the
construction of bunk houses and other
buildings.
VIM. Wiley and crew of men are

The lone was floated on Sunday. Her
masts have been stepped and she will
be placed in commission by June |.
The canvas roofing of her upper deck
has been laid and painted. The lower

Every man should own his own home.
No matter if it is only shack on the
rear OF lot, just so you can call it your
own. 1t is better to own your own
place than pay rent. There is Joy and
comfort in knowing YOU have place

who owns his own home has satisfied

giving, which comes to NJ, more urgent
Iy AT this season than ut any other. Yet

decking Of the Christmas tree, or the
dinner which IL to follow All this
Christmas giving is hut symbol recall
ing the great gift Of God the giving Of
the Saviour to the sin crushed world
To every child should this story be told
In all its loving details, ~ often ~ the
Christmas. tide comes around. The gift
OF God If greater than the toy pack of
the mythical Santa Claus and the little
heart should early be filled with appre.
citation Of this wonderful love, and its
inter dependence for all the good and
happiness on the great parent heart Of
God The child's own eyes can gee with
what JOY you fill all its little wants, and
the lesson Of the higher love should be
carefully impressed upon the sympathe-
tic little heart. Let yOur love for him
your loving tenderness, be to the child
a symbol of the love that with the gift
Of His Perfect Son, promised to With
Him, give freely Of all things.
We are all just little children, in
need of the support Of the Fathers
love. No effort Of our own will spare
us from some of the discomforts and
trials Of existence. While it IL required
Of us that we do, it is also demanded
of us that we trust In "A sense we

bat We should learn 10 trust more-to
believe more and to take courage with
stronger hearts, because Of the great
parent love Of God In these times OF

children do--look to the higher love.
