LOCATION OF CEMETERIES.
Factors to Be Considered When Sc
Letting Sites In Growing Towns.

Factors to Be Considered When Sc
Letting Sites In Growing Towns.
The location of projected cemeteries
in relation to growing towns is a mat
ter for very serious consideration.
The mere question of location is a
study in itself, for the future of the
cemetery may depend in considerable
measure on two factors at least-a de-
sirable and satisfactory site and the
selection of that site in regard to the
direction of growth of the adjacent
town and the quality of that growth.
While distance from the town limits
should be reasonable from many
points of view, at the same time an
important fact must not be overlook
ed, that of permanence. Experience
teaches us that no cemetery can lay
valid claims to permanence that may
finally find itself within the town linn
its. A few there may be that thrive
under the prospect of such a privi-
lege, but it rests in the long run upon
a very uncertain tenure. Beauty of
site and quality of improvements
should at any time offset the slight in
convenience of a longer journey, and
it would seem matter of but common
business to present in attractive form
available arguments to induce fair pat
ronage to any cemetery situated few
miles outside the limits of one of our
phenomenally growing cities or towns.
No cemetery organization should de-
spair under such a condition, provided
its business is conducted on progress
i've lines. The rest and peace of the
country so eminently harmonic with
the spirit of the cemetery that distance
is no disadvantage where proper trans
portation facilities exist to minimize
the objection.

This is the song of the builder:
My hammer swings and rings
In harmony with the vital key
OF the song at the heart of things.
The chord of the Master Builder
That sounds when the worlds have birth
Is the music sweet l seek to repeat
AS l rear the homes of earth.
From rock, from mine and from forest
l shape the cities of man.
The ships that flee down the ways of the
sea
l fashion, improve and plan.
The jungle | make a garden.
The distance l dwarf with steel
Till a continent wide is a few hours ride
When spanned by the spinning wheel.
So busy am l with helping,
Constructing the good of earth,
That l cannot halt for finding fault,
But have plenty of time for mirth.
If there's joy or cheer or laughter,
l am there with all my heart,
For a right success spells happiness.
And that is the nobler part.
There is room for work and for gladness
And making the good prevail.
But there is no place for the carping race.
For the spite and the weaking's wall.
There is space for the life constructive
And for helping the world along.
To create is the sign of the power divine.
This-this is the builders song.

TOWN PARKS.
Best Methods Of Securing and Laying
Out the Land.

Best Methods Of Securing and Laying
Out the Land.
In towns and small cities the most
important park matter is acquisition of
land. Park development may come
later. In nearly all places land values
increase rapidly, and it is necessary
to apply all available funds to the pur-
chase of land. Even if town has
but a stretch of wild land for few
years it is vastly to be desired over
an improved public square" or small
area covered with closely clipped
lawns. One hundred dollars per acre
will plant all the fundamentals to
make in the future the very best of
parks. The only proper methods are,
first, get all the land you can; second.
use the next available funds in secur
ing plan from some competent land
scape designer; third, plant out the
trees provided for in the plan and then
the shrubs. Let all lawns and small
plants be unknown until the public
can well afford them.
Trees and shrubs will give them
shade and shelter for recreation and
picnic grounds. A place to rest in
comfort. away from the glaring arti-
fatalities of city life, is, after all, the
chief end to be desired. To have this
it is not necessary to build statues, or
namental fountains, bright colored
flower beds or any of the artificial fea-
lures of the ordinary city park. All
these can be seen in city gardens, and
none should be seen in public parks
except they are leaders in this class of
work. A touch Of nature" should be
the key to all park planning and plant
ing

VALUE OF NEATNESS,
Good Way to Help a Store to
Attract Trade.
CLEAN UP OUTSIDE GROUNDS.
How a Small Grocery Storekeeper
Made His Back and Front Yards At
tractive and Kept the Cream of the
Trade In His Town.

During the summer months especial
ly grocery store keeper cannot be too
particular as to the outside condition
of his store and the grounds immedi
ately surrounding him. If he anows
fruits and vegetable matter to remain
along the sidewalk and in the back
part of his lot an unhealthy and dis
agreeable condition will necessarily
result Even though it may not be
bad enough to draw the attention Of
the board of health officers it Is bad
enough to drive away customers. No
one likes to go to a store where one
must pass by disagreeable odors and
refuse matter.
Even though the storekeeper may
keep the inside of his store and his
fruit and vegetables therein In per.
fectly sanitary condition, complying
with all the requirements Of the va.
rious pure food laws, he cannot be too
particular with the condition Of the
premises surrounding his store. II
you want to attract trade make every.
thing in connection with the store at
tractive as possible. The majority OF
the grocery buyers are women, and
they probably are more particular in
this respect than men. If you have a
little room at the side or in the back
Of your store, keep the grass we'll cut
make it look clean and attractive; i.
possible plant a few flower beds SO
that it will be a pleasure for one to
approach your store and not dis.
agreeable necessity.
One of the most attractive country
stores that the writer ever saw was
little grocery store in small town
of about 500 inhabitants. This enter
prising grocer had lot of about 80 by
$50 feet. His store was very unpre-
tentious and set about twenty-five feet
back from the street. This front
twenty-five feet of the lot was seeded
to grass and always kept well cut and
green. Flowers were planted along
the walk which led to the main en-
trance, and in the back was a very
clean, attractive looking vegetable and
flower garden. He disposed of his old
boxes and crates in such a careful
manner that no one ever realized that
he had any. 1t is unnecessary to state
that this man had and kept the cream
of the trade in his town. 1t certainly
paid him to go to a little extra pains
to make it attractive for people to
come into his store. If that will pay
in one town. it will pay in every town
Just try it and see if a larger trade
does not result from increased clean
ness and neatness about the outside of
your tore.-Agricultural Southwest.

Railroad GARDENING.

Nearly all of the big eastern rail-
roads have abandoned the gaudy but
meaningless and unsatisfying carpet
bedding so common in the past and are
substituting hardy shrubs for perma-
nent effect and in some cases are ex-
tending this work beyond the station
ground along the right of way. Such
changes are very gratifying to all who
make a study of and take an interest
in the establishment of our steel high
ways, for it is move in the right
direction and better for all, both own
ers and travellers.
