There are few street corners in Alma

which will not bear mute witness to
the need for needing bit OF adyice
which the Saginaw CourierHerald
gives concerning practice which is
rightfully condems as meretricious-
the practice of cutting across corners
TO save step or two. with the result
that the beauty of MANY well kent
lawn.is marred The Courier Herald
says:
Citizens generally are anxious
that the grounds surrounding their
homes may appear at their best and
the practice of cutting corners is one
of the hardest to meet or ATTEMPT to
are fenced off. but in America this is
regarded as a step backward and the
tendency has been to remove all fences
AS result pedestrians have cult
waited the trick of cutting corners and
wearing bare paths through parks and
lawns There is no merit in the habit
1t saves no time and is careless ex
ample. And besides it does much to
efface the beauty of a we'll kept lawn.

and assist others in preventing the
despoliation of theirs. -

of this is mere hot air, but there may
