- HOOSING the shade trees for a
4 residence addition is one Of the
- serious problems that confront
every real estate operator who has
such an addition 70 place on the mar
ket.
Public taste demands shade trees
Trees add TO the general appearance
OF q street or lot They protect from
storm in winter and from excessive
heat in summer.
The purchaser does not want TO have
to skirmish around for a few trees IN
front of his lot. Il this work be leTt
to the individual, some lots viii have
trees and others Will not. There will
be many varieties on one street. some
will be we'll chosen and some 81
chosen. It IS better BY far that some
central authority have charge OF the
selection Of the shade trees. And the
owner who is placing real estate ad-
ditiOn on the market finds that Il IS
"up to him"
When Kimba1 & Richards came TO
the selection Of trees for Highland
Park they found the problem was a
large one. There were about twenty
miles OF parking strip TO be supplied.
1t did not take much figuring TO show
that. with trees about a rod apart or
less, this meant something like 1000
trees.
Why Care Was Necessary.
1t was a pretty big order, and a
mistake would be serious. They had
selves. and they called in expert ad-
vice.
Finally. they made their decision.
They did not buy the cheapest trees,
but those best suited TO their purpose.
The varieties selected were box elder,
silver leaf maple, BoleOna poplar ana
Carolina poplar.
The box elder is well known in the
city, and enhances the appearance OF
the streets where it is planted. The
silver leaf maple IS not so common,
but its remarkable beauty, IN shape OF
tree and OF leaf. has won for II a ia
vorable reputation. The Boleana pop
lar and the Carolina poplar are both
rapidly growing varieties that branch
out into symmetrical and beautiful
trees. Kimbali s Richards have es-
pecial trust in the Boleana poplar.
which has white bark that presents
pretty sight. especially when q row
OF these trees are viewed.
The trees are but one feature OF
Highland Park But they illustrate the
care and attention that Kimbau 4
Richards have given to avery feature
in planning ana marketing that tract.
Already 1000 trees have been planted
in Highland Park, and the rest viii
come as soon as the nursery can sup-

a GOOD INVESTMENT.

The best investment that could
possibly be made by the people Of
any rural school district would be
the Investment OF whatever time and
money It might take to make the
grounds and the school house the
neatest, cleanest and most attractive
house and grounds In the entire dis
trict. The house cannot be made too
good, and neither house nor grounds
can be made too clean or too beauti-
full. Such an Investment would for
the sake of immediate returns would
repay many times Its cost by mater
tally enhancing the value of every
acre Of ground In the district. What
more attractive advertising could
there be of any neighborhood than
to have 1t known that school grounds
and school houses are the best that
can be found.
But an investment Is not always
made with a view to securing inl1
mediate returns; often 1t is made
in the interest of ones family. Con-
slider the investment we are discua-
sing from this second point of view.
The Influence of such a school house
upon the lives of the boys and girls
who attend the school will last all
through life-and perhaps longer.
The persistency Of surroundings
like all persstency-will not fail to
tell. As appropriate at this point,
we quote from Massachusetts, state
school report of 1895; There is
scarcely sounder principle in peda-
gogy than that care begets care; or
der, order; cleanliness. cleanliness;
and beauty, beauty. Things conspic'
Iously good command the respect OF
invite. their imitation; and
IN many ways, real though obscure,
link into their souls and mould their

money to make the investment rec

BEATs THE DUTCH.

Pacific Banker, Portland, Oregon:
Holland, Kas., is hamlet Of twelve
houses, which according to the usual
estimates would give 1t a population
OF about sixty people. The import
ance Of the place cannot, however,
be judged by its size. Diminutive as
this little townlet may be, it boasts
many modern conveniences not pos
sessed by much larger villages,
among them being a full-fledged
bank. Forty-two farmers in the VIC
Unity gathered together and decided
that a bank was one Of the needs Of
the place; they forthwith organized
an institution with capital Of $780,
900, another example of the enter
prise and prosperity of the sunflower
state.

THE COW.

The dairy cow, If able to express
herself in way which the human fam
lily would comprehend, might well
lay claim to being mans best friend.
She might establish such claim by
calling attention to the fact that
from her product and from her carass
man manufactures more of the neces-
stiles of life than from any other sim
liar source. She furnishes these me-
cessities to him from infancy until
such a time as temporal things are
no longer associated with his exist
ence, and she does 1t ungrudgingly
and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
mans necessity and his pleasure, the
prosperity of an agricultural COM
munity is more closely identified
with her than with any other of the
domestic animals. The horse Is quite
essential in tilling the soil, but where
necessity requires 1t the sturdy son
OF the COW can take his place, as he
has done in every agricultural sec
ton on earth. The horse can only
furnish labor and can only return
profit to his owner when conditions
are right for returning satisfactory
grain crops. 1t is a well known fact
that the dairy COW is the salvation
of the farmer ip times Of poor crops
as she is able to convert the rough.
crops which are never total failure,
into dairy products which always
have a cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which farm be-
comes less valuable each year and
the whole country less prosperous.
The elimination Of the dairy cow
would necessitate an almost revolu-
tlonary readiustment Of mans tastes
and requirements. It would mean
untold suffering and hardship. OF
course she will not be dispensed with
but her value can perhaps best be APP
preclated by contemplating such a
loss.
she will continue to be mans best
friend as long as the human family
exists and will keep on supplying
him with his greatest needs Just as
she has done through all the ages.

ant as this problem is, It now divides

question OF education at the unlver-

NEEDS NO SYMPATHY.

| II 1t Is still extant it ought to g.
to Kansas and find out why tn,
farmers want to put 100000 NOR
into autor obiles.
Also to count the farmers that arr
running machinery by electricity.
The Roosevelt commission was go
ing to ameliorate country life, bu
the present era Of high prices shows
that the life is rapidly amelioratinl
itself. 1t wants no sympathy.
The hardscrabble farmer with
shack, a wife in calico, five chill
dren, seven dogs and mortgage Ii
vanishing; he belonged to the pioneer
age and the holdover period and to
the communities which practiced
the stinginess which Benjamin
Franklin preached.
AS cities grow and population in
creases, food prices rise, and the
farmer, if he knows what he is about,
gets most of the benefit from them.
Among other things he got a
buggy for the boys and piano for
the girls and gave the youngsters a
good schooling; and as things kept
looking up he refurnished the old
homestead, built out some verandas,
put electric power in the barns, and
then bought an automobile. Now
nothing distinguishes him from the
gentleman farmer except that he
works and makes money.
If the Roosevelt commission wants
something to do let it reorganize and
try to ameliorate city life.
Let it see if there isn't some prac-
ticable way for city people to hitthe
middleman on the other side and get
their share of the profits he Is ex-
torting from them.
The farmer is all right. II he is
good one, and has productive land,
he is the most independent man in
the state.-San Francisco Chronicle.
