Plant Collections In Parks.

In parks or portions of parks with
purely rural aspects many trees and
shrubs from foreign climates would
look homogeneous. and only the native
subjects are fitted to such scenes
There are, however, many situations
In connection with buildings and form
al conditions where the rural aspects
are completely interrupted and where
Important paintings of rare trees and
shrubs could be properly introduced
for good educational advantages. 1t
Is not at all necessary to plant such
things in what we call family or or
dinal sequence. or to call any such col
lections, large or small. an arboretum,
or make any effort to segregate them
IN one portion of the park system. The
main point is to plant them where they
will do we'll and look thrifty. Then it
remains to create enthusiasm about
them, talk about them, call the atten-
ton of the people to them through the
press and be sure and have them cor.
rectly labeled.

Good Roads and Automobiles.

Good roads are most beneficial to and
most appreciated by those in whose
hearts there exists the love Of nature.
The more one loves Nature the more
he appreciates anything that increases
his opportunities to study her. Good
roads and the automobile are the most
potent factors in opening up the beau
ties of nature to mankind. Not only do
they give the lover of nature the op-
portunity which he crave for contenl-
plating and studying the object of his
love, but they convert the Indifferent
to an appreciation of and love for the
boundless beauties that God has given
us to enjoy. And. while these two are
such important factors In satisfying
our inherent craving for the enjoyment
of things beautiful. the automobile Is
the strongest In securing good roads.

Attractivenese In Trade Needed to
Keep Dollars at Home.
The way to keep the boys and girls
| at home is to make home attractive to
the boys and girls. The way to keep
| dollars at home is to make home at
| tractive to the dollars. There is no
other way.
Our local merchants should make
their trade attractive. This means
that they should play up their goods,
just as a newspaper plays up n story.
Goods can be played up in many ways.
Advertising in the local paper and dis
playing in the store window are two
good ways. Another good way is to
make the store attractive inside and
outside. Another is to convince Gus
toners that they are getting honest
values. Still another is to have the
thing the customer wants, make him
feel that you are trying to serve him
and accommodate him and not merely
trying to benefit yourself, Yet an
other and most important Of all is to
organize for the betterment of the
community. arouse public spirit and
local pride and educate the people in
the inestimable benefit to everybody
of building up their w town and
their own neighborhood.
Merchants can be the leaders in this
work. Organize local boards of trade,
town improvement societies and other
similar associations. Get people in
terested in their own community.
Make them think that 1t IS the best
community on earth. which 1t is to
those that live in it. Their concern
is here. their prosperity is here. Boom
your trade. boom your town. boom
your paper, boom your community.
Legitimate booming that is founded
not on inflated ideas and dishonest
methods. but on bedrock facts and
sound philosophy, never meets n back
set. 1t means permanent betterment
to all.
