Value Of Improvement Societies Co.
operating With Schools.
improvement societies should Good
crate with schools in the proper OBJ
servance Of Arbor day. The marked
advantages Of such cooperation might
be that the trees planted by the chill
dren as part of the school program.
and often when they are not needed,
would be placed in more appropriate
positions and where competent judy
ment would decide. More considera-
ton should be given to the question Of
location, for it is certain that no trees
should be planted without due regard
to the surroundings and necessities Of
the premises.
Comparatively few people have the
knowledge sufficient to properly place
and plant trees, but improvement So
cieties either have competent judges
among their members or are in touch
with those who know. The proper
spirit Of cooperation could accomplish
much in the proper observance of Ar
Dor day, and good practical results
would cause our federal officials to
modify their statement that much Of
our Arbor day planting is worse than
useless"

The Commercial club of Knoxville
Tenn, expects to spend $4,000 this
year in the advertising columns of
northern and southern newspapers and
magazines. Spokane, Wash, is repeat
ing its last years expenditure Of $780,
600 In promotion work. 1t Is circulat-
ing, chiefly through its chamber of
commerce, newspaper clippings, bro
chures, pamphlets, circulars, dodgers,
leaflets and copies Of publications hav-
ing descriptions Of the city. Every
inquirer for information is posted upon
the chambers bulletin board. He i'm
mediately receives letters and rates
and propositions and pictures from rail-
ways. from land dealers, from bank
ers, etc.
This is one Of the most comprehen-
sive. impressive, eager and judicious
examples of the new system. Yet it is
only in the leaf1et Of a dealer in Spo-
kane's city bonds that you learn that
''Power City" owns its own water

much other valuable property and that

tells you what the tax rate is. None
except Houston. Tex. tells what re-
lief you are to have from the ordinary

cal grating.
What is spread broadcast. as &C.
casion serves is notice that winters
are warm. summers cool las If you
wanted to stay the year round in one
spot. that there are numerous secret
societies, that growth has been rapid
population fancifully estimated for
1920, that in the suburbs there is not
much rain. and therefore that last
that hens can pay, will there come
true. Others declare that within their
borders there is no sunstroke; others
that the town contains 1.-The only daily
newspaper south of Baltimore that car
ries a fnll up to date news service" or
that here is the only hippodrome south
of New York. or that it contains many
private sanitariums, or the largest can
dy factory. or an excellent race track,
or fifty through trains for other points!
Boston's long suit. advertised by low

has a five hour train to New York.

LIGHTS TO DRAW TRADE.
Unique Lighting Scheme Adopted by
Some Jersey Merchants.

Unique II0ntIn9 Scneme ADOPTED b)
Some Jersey Merchants.
Newark, the metropolis of New Jer
sey, has recently demonstrated that
lights draw trade. In other words, the
human insect is like any other bug OF
moth and swarms after the candle
the lamp or the electric bulb. Man, OF
course, knows too much to bump his
head against the light or SINCE his
wings, but this knowledge is acquired,
while the love Of the glitter is inner
ent.
A bunch of Newark merchants have
taken advantage Of the buglike trait
In human nature to increase business.
The chief street in the Jersey metrop-
oils Is Broad. Market street bisects
Broad into what are known as North
Broad and South Broad. OF late years
through brilliant electric signs and
other means all the crowds at night
have been drawn to North Broad,
while the south end of the street has
been comparatively deserted. This
caused the merchants in that neigh
borhood to do some thinking. The re-
suit Of thinking was an organization.
The result of the organization was the
most unique lighting scheme ever at
tempted i'll an American city. 1t con-
sists Of row Of orange colored, high
power lights on both sides Of the
street. These lights are about fifty
feet apart and extend for five blocks.
The cost is borne by the merchants
and amounts to about hundred dol
lars a year to each man. The lights
are so brilliant that they make North
Broad street, electric signs and all,
look like dim twilight in COMPARE
son.
Since the new system Of lighting has
gone into effect the crowds have "fol-
lowed the gleam'' and now congregate
nightly on South Broad. Trade has
followed the crowd, and the enterpris-
ing merchants are already reaping the
harvest OF course the thing is vet in
the experimental stage, but it Is an ex-
pertinent that is being watched with
interest by merchants throughout the
land. Crowds Of them travel to New
ark from New York and other cities to
study the system. So far the depar-
ture has proved a pronounced success
and has made everybody happy with
the exception of the rival merchants
on North Broad street.

Tree Planting Time.

The season for street tree planting
Is at hand, and it is well to remember
that the best trees are young, thrifty
specimens from one to three feet high.
Under no circumstances plant any he.
low the minimum mentioned, and
those over three feet high should be
carefully examined, and If crooked or
gnarled and appearing as stunted do
not take them even without price; they
are not worth the planting.

Controlling Billboard.

Several effective means are known
which If taken advantage Of will ma.
terially aid In controlling the obnox.
ious billboard. Many billboards are
found in every one of our principal
cities that are erected without per.
mission from the property owner. The
following four plans may be used to
approach the matter: a. BY police
power; C) by taxation; 60 by prosecu-
ton for trespass; (4 by ignoring the
advertiser or advertised article.

John r. Allen, the protector of the

Grants Pass to Ashland by the way
of Medford, was in town Thursday
and had an interview with the com
mittee on streets during the after
noon. He is very anxious to secure
the franchise to run his road to this
city and the people of Grants Pass
are anxious for him to do So The
matter will be up in special meet
ing of the council next Monday night
and will be acted upon with great
prmptness.
This road will do much for Grants
Pass and be great convenience to
orchardists and farmers all along the
line. Mr.. Allen can feel that the
good people of this city will do
everything in their power to help in
the construction of this road and
they want him to know that they
stand ready to in every way do their
part
John R. Allen is the right kind of
people, and don't you forget it.

FOR 1910 viii amount 10 500 cars and
the crop for 1915 to G000 cars and
that OF 1920 TO 10000 cars. TO
haul this fruit from the orchard Ia
