Getting After the Octopus.

There is general movement
throughout the United States in the d.
rection Of getting after the mail order
octopus with big stick. 1t is a
movement born Of the law Of self pres
ervation as applied to Individual enter
prise and community interest. People
In the districts far removed from the
Overgrown cities have discovered that
the mammoth concerns that advertise
Tor sale pretty nearly everything
through catalogues and mail order
publications are sapping the prosperi-
ty Of the smaller cities and towns and
their outlying communities. The cru
SADIE against the mail order PROPOSE
tion is becoming national in its scope,
and for good reason. Either the tend
ency toward mail order buying must
be checked or the United States will
become nation Of trade centralized
IN the cities and nothing doing" in
the country. Anybody can figure out
easily what that will mean to the rural
communities of America. Those who
have taken the time to figure it out-a
minute or scare the persons who are
going after the mail order octopus with
the big stick hereinbefore mentioned.

Planting Railroad Station Grounds.

The planting Of railroad station
grounds is a very important part of
making town or city beautiful, and
each year more consideration Is given
the subject. Finely planted grounds
give good first impression of Il place
that the observing traveller is not slow
to appreciate. On the other hand,
slovenly, dirty or i'll cared for grounds
give bad first impression. and the
lack Of improvements or care is quick
ly noticed by the experienced travel
err, for he has seen and noted station
grounds highly embellished. Time
was when railroad gardening was a
mere incidental and the material used
was regarded as such, consisting large
ly Of seasonal beds Of flowers. This
style of work is rapidly being super
seeded by permanent all the year round
effects. Today the demand is for ex-
perienced park builders, and spacious
grounds are being reserved along new
lines Of travel. Town and city Off
Gals should lend all possible encour-
agement ale aid to this work, for it is
the only glimpse the traveller gets Of
some points, even of considerable size
and Importance.

CEMETERY Establishment.
Burial Places Should Be Made Park
like and Beautiful.

6urtAl Places should Be Made Park.
like and Beautiful.
While we have cemeteries we should
make and keep them as ornate as pos
sible. To this end the miserable so
called monuments should be excluded
and none but works Of art allowed.
In nearly all burial grounds may be
found repetitions Of cheap and poor
designs which add both monOtony and
poverty to what is already too gloomy
and conventional. All cemetery associ-
atoms should SO control the lots sold
as to prevent any work Of low order
or poor design. says correspondent of
the Los Angeles Times. While the
writer does not visit cemeteries, he has
certain amount Of compassion for
those who do, and as many consider
these places In the same light as public
parks they should be kept up to high
standard Of excellence and embellished
in every possible way. The day will
doubtless soon come when cemeteries
will be abolished by law. but those
who favor them may stay the march
Of enlightenment somewhat by seeing
that the entire tract Is really made
parklike and the monuments kept
small and unobtrusive in size and SIM
pie in design. The whole effect should
be Of garden. not Of a stone yard.
Many small towns have no tract re-
served for park purposes. and the peo-
pie have been used to regard their To-
cal burying ground somewhat in the
light Of public square. This idea
should be kept in mind by those in
charge even where park or parks are
present and unusually attractive. A
board of intelligent directors should be
elected who will exercise powers some
what akin to those of park commits
sion and see that much of the same
class Of work is carried out.
