GOSPEL EXTENSION WORK

The Superintendent of this new
phase of work reports successful
meetings the past week at Orlando.
The people received him with great
kindness and hospitality. The Off
GERS very kindly opened the missi-
onary Baptist church on the top Of
the mountain. Large audiences were
the rule, a dozen or more professed
conversion. The people enjoyed very
much the pictures that were shown.
The Extension group will hold
meetings at Moore's Creek. beginning
the 2lst or 22nd and will remain
there over Sunday. From Aug. eth
to Sept. list they expect to be ut
Burning Springs.
We are sure the friends at these
places will enjoy and appreciate hav-
ing Bro Knight and his workers

DATE PALMS IN CALIFORNIA
County Supervisors Are Planting
Them Along Roads and the
Work 10 Applsuded.

The board Of supervisors OF Los
Angeles county have authorized the
county forestry commission to pur-
chase 500 date palms at cost OF a
dollar apiece TO be planted along the
San Fernando road. There Is q great
deal OF work OF this kind to be done
in southern California. II was nat
urally a treeless section until the
horticultural came in and adorned II
with millions Of revenue-producing
fruit trees. The highways are still
neglected to a large extent. thing
that should be remedied with all pos
sible dispatch. Every line OF country
road should have its ornamental trees,
and the main thoroughfares should
be parked with grass plots and
parterres OF flowers well cared for.
We must not forget that this is the
playground OF the continent. and that
tourists seeking enjoyment desire to
have the sense Of sight delighted
above all thingsr-Los Angeles Times.

Never Need OF uallness.

No town Is so small that II need be
ugly. A little railroad "whistling post
could be attractive with trees. Some
time the railroads OF the west will
send out their "arbor specials as
they send their good roads trains.
There is little excuse for the habita-
lions OF men along the track to be
usually the single unlovely thing In
the Kansas railroad Journey.
Have you noticed that where fine
trees form a parh in the air the peo-
pie below have holiday mannersI The
people under the trees seem to be
enjoying life They are not satisfied
with slovenlinesa The accompani-
ment OF nice lawns and pretty. we'll
kept houses and clean streets Is trib-
ute TO the example OF the trees. Even
TO be lazy under arching branches Is

AS A MATTER OF BUSINESS
The Beauty and Orderly Keeping OF
Ones Home Town should Appeal
to Every Resident.

"The cities OF Europe" declares an
expert. consider civic beauty an alb
solute asset in cash. Paris, for exam
pie, invariably has an eye TO the beau
tiful In whatever II does. Paris would
never dare to lose its prestige as the
most beautiful city in the world. That
would be bad business
I'VE ought to consider tia rulnous
business policy for one OF our cities
not TO protect its beauty. Take tho
railroad problem in our cities. At
present some railroads are beginning
to brace up and do splendid things, but
for a long time wherever We had q
railroad in a city II was death and
desperation so far as beauty was con-
cerned
We ought TO do the same In other
things. Here each fellow has gone
ahead for himself. without regard to
others. A city ought TO be a unity.
Each Citizen should be allowed to do
what he pleases only in so far as he
does not hurt the city as whole. As
soon as he does that he should be
stopped"
In conclusion he said:
mo one man is competent to plan
city. Such task needs a combina-
ton OF men. The problems OF city
planning today are not L'Enfant's nor
Sir Christopher wren's. What we now
have to face is far more complicated.
city planning should be undertaken
by architects. landscapists. traffic ex-
perts, and the various types OF engi-
neers working together. All these men,
before making plans for the rebuilding
OF cities. should give special study to
the various difficulties OF civic i'm
proyement"

Hypocrisy Of cities.

The hypocrisy OF cities lies in the
fact that their front yards are clean
and their back yards are dirty. The
front yards are spread over with emer-
aid grass shaved smooth by a lawn
mower. and are often attractive with
flowers. rich markets for the bees. The
back yards are slatternly with ash
heaps and refuse and many OF them
are never cleaned up. The front yards
with their pleasant grass and their
daffodlls daffodilling and their GRO
cuses croaking, are pretense. They
pretend that the whole premises are
equally clean.-vancouver Sun.

the growing season. Cook II in boiling
water as any vegetable Is cooked.
then dress II with butter. vinegar and
sliced hard cooked eggs as spinach Ia
served, or II may be served cold az
salad. II will grow up again and again
new tender leaves. so that It is an
easy vegetable TO care for.
Lettuce that has become too old
and tough for eating fresh may DO
cooked and served as one does spin
ach. II makes pleasant variety for
the daily menu. Lettuce soup IL an
other method OF using tho old tough
leaves. This Is made as one does any
cream soup.
The color OF peas and asparagus as
we'll as spinach and any OF the greens
Is a brighter green II the kettle In
which the vegetable is cooked Is left
uncovered during the cooking.
A pretty way OF serving new peas
or asparagus Is to prepare them with
a rich white sauce. then hollow out

less. Remove the skins after drop
ping them into cold water. then re-
turn to the fire and chop. season with
butter. pepper and salt and few
