Why Street Trsss Die.

Street trees suffer more from lack Of
air than from any other cause. On
one side is cement walk and on the
other graveled. oiled or paved street
The trees usually die from an insufn-
Client application Of water. for If plen-
ty were given the tree the soil would
be fairly aerated. When water enters
the soil the air is driven out. and as
the water recedes fresh air takes its
place, 80 that frequent waterings will
result In frequent airings. Another
cause Of poor growth in street trees is
lack Of food The space about the tree
Is limited. and seldom is fertilizer
given or the minimum of soil stirred.
Trees are unable to absorb mineral
fertilizers except they are taken up
by the roots in solution Of soil wa
ter. Many fertilizers now in the soil
may b slowly unlocked" by frequent
cultivation. Applications Of other fer
tilizers often hasten the same process
Keeping thrifty street trees by feed
ing them through the scant area usu-
ally allowed in parkways may be
likened to keeping q human being in
robust health by feeding him through
a straw. Cultivate and irrigate street
trees thoroughly and fertili1e little,
but often.

VALUE OF ORGANIZING.

How United Effort Of q Towns g.
eisties Can Boom Homo Trade.
The work done by the boards of
trade and other commercial bodies In
the larger cities can be duplicated by
similar organizations in the smaller
cities and towns. This is not q mere
matter Of theory, but has been proved
In practice hundreds Of times. It mat
tiers not what the body is called. It Is
the purpose. the enthusiasm and the
intelligent work for local betterment
that count. 1t should include business
and professional men and all others in
terested in the community's future.
The many services 1t can render are
Invaluable. 1t can advertise the town
on any and all occasions It can de-
crease local Observation-Disclosures and
differences, allay mere factional spirit
and harmonic these, at least to the ex-
tent Of uniting for the common good.
In the upbuilding Of town, in hold
ing and increasing home trade, in get
ting Improved railroad facilities, in
procuring cleaner streets, more slightly
houses and lawns and in the general
effort for town progress all citizens
are interested. These results can best
be brought about through united and
organized endeavof.
Not only commercial bodies, but Sc
cret societies, social organizations and
even schools. can assist powerfully in
the work. But the board Of trade or
similar body under whatever name
called must take the lead and set the
pace. Such an organization, holding
regular weekly. semiweekly or month
~ meetings, with subcommittee to
look after different departments Of the
work. will ind innumerable ways to
help the cause along. New industries
can be procured. the surrounding terri |
tory can be canvassed for trade, and,
above all. local spirit can be kept alive. |
The very fact Of the existence Of such |
body has a suggestive value Of great
power. Organize for your own town.
Cities are built not alone with wood
and stone, brick and mortar, bat out
Of the public spirit Of their people.

IMPROVING HOME GROUNDS.
How to Make Thorn Attractive All ths
Year Round.

The trees, shrubs and herbaceous
perennials which should surround the
homes Of the average class Of Ameri-
cans are Of especial interest to the ma.
jority Of people. These should be &C.
lected with the greatest care, and they
should represent the finest taste pos
sible. The number need not neces.
sarily be large. The species should
not be too varied or the effect will
be too striking and not in good taste.
One must take into consideration the
species best suited for spring, summer
fall and winter effects. Too frequent.
ly the winter effects are not carefully
considered, and much Of the charm Of
planting Is lost. The varied green Of
the coniferous trees, and especially the
delicate effect produced when the ever
greens Of more delicate foliage, like
the hemlocks and chamaecyparis, are
covered with snow, is very pleasing
The variation Of color In winter Of the
bark Of many Of the deciduous trees
and shrubs should also be carefully
studied in selecting the planting list
NeN IL oAy VI Tue sLFuDS tJudl lHe ulI-
ferent varieties Of cornus and salix
for these winter effects The flowers
of spring and summer. the fruits Of
summer, fall and winter and the colors
Of bark and twigs in winter should
keep our homes bright and attractive
throughout the year.
Perhaps the home is rented and the
owner does not care to pay out much
for improvements Of this nature. It
is interesting to note the attractive
ness one may add to a home Of this
kind with small expense. Vines Of
rapid annual growth, like the coboeas
or morning glories. may be cheaply
grown, and these will quickly GOV.
er unsightly objects or serve as
screen for the piazza or veranda. The
castor bean plants will give subtrop-
ical effects with comparatively little
expense, and geraniums, petunias. yer.
benas or cannas may serve to brighten
and make CHEEKY the home grounds.

the high cost Of living. Evidently
the Lead Belt editor is getting at
cross purposes with himself. The
necessaraes IF life. who produces
.thenls Il is the farmer, the News
admits that farm products are
high. If the farm products are
high and the Republican party
played ne part in making these
high prices, ,hen bow can that par
ty be held responsible for the in
creased cost of living! Further,
the News argues that the Republi-
can party is responsible for the
distressing low wages" in the lead
belt. We would want some more
detailed information in the matter
of these wages before we will ad.
NIT that the News knows what it
is talking about, and even if it can
show that wages are distressingiy
low, that we will admit that the
Republican party has caused them.
We would want to compare these
wages also with those that prevail
ed in the lead belt when the Demo.
cratic party was last governing
the country. To our way of look
ing at this question of the high
cost Of farm products-tLe neces
sites of life--it is one largely bas.
ed upon consumption and demand.
When the people are consuming
the general supply to the point Of
sustaining increasing cost by a
general and eager demand for
more, it indicates that they are
earning the money to pay these
prices. This is what the Repnbli-
can party is responsible for. AS
to whether the wage earners are
getting what they should from the
gross production of wealth ip the
lead belt, we cali the News atten-
tion TO some figures on this subject
in our last issue, which would seem
to prove that the corporations are
not dividing quite as literally as
they might.
