BUILDING Natural Parks.

In arranging planting 1t is worth
while for one to study the works of
nature. Note the outline OF young tr
growths as they creep into the clear
ings. You will find that line is irreg-
ular, deep bays showing here and
there, separated by strong, massive
projections. Oftentimes there will be
an individual or two standing out from
these strong masses. The straight line
is entirely absent, while the outline OF
the foliage presents long, graceful
curves.

TO KEEP THE CITY CLEAN
Move Recently Made by People OF
New Britain, Conn, 10 Well
Worth Copying.

Recent years have Witnessed move
ments upon the part of citizens and
officials in many municipalities to Sc
cure better sanitary conditions. The
assemblage of a large number OF per-
sons in a restricted area inevitably
creates problems involving the health
OF the community, and the proper So
luton Of which requires constant and
intelligent attention. Civic uplift
should be both an ideal and a prac-
tice. Among the cities whose citi-
zens recently took hold of this matter
is New Britain. Conn, and a commit
tee there issued a series of recon-
m%endations which may we'll commend
themselves to- the inhabitants of other
municipalities. One OF their tracts
was entitled: What you can do to
helm make New Britain a clean city"
and reads:
Take away all the ashes and dirt
from your back yard Immediately.
Send your rubbish to the dumping
ground.
Clean out your cellars, stables and
sheds. Whitewash your cellar walls.
Burn all rubbish that will burn.
Clean your vacant lots and alleyways.
Avoid mixing ashes and garbage.
This is against the law. You may be
fined five dollars.
Refrain from throwing old paper,
banana or orange skins into the
streets.
Plant some grass and flower seeds
to make your home beautiful. Every
house should have a little green grass
and a few trees.
When you have cleaned up for Eas-
ter. keep your yard clean all the time.
Dirty yards cause fleas, sickness,
death.
Old tin cans hold water; water
breeds mosquitoes.
Rotten garbage makes bad air, bad
air makes weak bodies, weak bodies
make big doctors bills.

Port Huron Creamery Co.'S
Agents Make Money for the
Farmers. Why?
Because the Farmer gets His Hon
est Test and Highest Market
Price at all Times.

1t does not cost any more to keep a
good cow than poor one, and the pro-
fits from good COW are much larger
than they are from poor one. Talk
to the farmer who is always complain
ing about his test being too low, and
about the price not high enough, and
that the man who gets his cream is
cheating him in the test, weight, ETC.,
talk to him about his COWS, go and see
for yourself, and nine cases out of ten,
you will find that the man does not
take care of his stock, has an inferior
grade of cows, poor feed to give them
and icebergs for barns.
But talk to the farmer who does
not think every man he deals with is a
rogue and you will find out for yourself
that that man is making money out OF
cows, is satisfied and convinced that
the men working for the Port Huron
Creamery Co. are doing what is right
by him, giving him his honest test
weight and price. The reason why
mention that the men working for the
Port Huron Creamery Co. satisfy and
convince the farmer as stated above is
because they gain nothing in taking
from the farmer something that does
should not be otherwise that we work
for the interest of our company and in
working for such a company il is q
pleasure to their men to give. the farm
er all that belongs to him, as we are
! upheld by our company in so doing.
