MUNICIPAL CONTROL OF
STREET TREES BEST PLAN
City or Town Should Also Pay For I'm
proVements and Cost of Upkeep.

There Is much controversy over mu-
nicipal control Of street trees, yet all
who think Of the matter inquiringly
must admit that the trees belong to
the city, and custom alone is reSpOn-
kible for the owners control or owner
ship. When one gets a deed to lot
it conveys to him a piece of ground 90
by $50 feet, or whatever the size may
be. Nothing is stipulated concerning
abutting street or parkway. If it be
new tract the streets are subsequently
dedicated to the city. By whom? BY
the original owner of the tract alone,
the property owner not being a party
to the transfer, proving conclusive
ly that he never had right, title or in
terest therein. The city may then or
der the street graded, curbed and side
walked-the city's prOperty-but the
abutting property owner pays for it.
In well governed cities of Europe
and in all of them in some countries
the city pays for all such improve
ments, which is the only proper way.
The city also grants public utility com
panies the right to erect poles and an
Choir posts in the parkway and to run
guy and anchor wires down in front Of
your house and through your street
trees; allows water companies to put
meters in the parkway and many other
things equally strange if the AUDITING
property owner has any vested rights
in the street
The city may, and does, require you
to prune, plant and remove street trees
and often allows you to plant only GER
tain sorts. Is it not then that the city
owns it all and kindly allows you pro-
prietary privileges when expenditures
are called for? How considerably pa
ternal! The district attorney tells the
horticultural commissioner that the cost
of fumigatiOn is to be laid on the
abutting property owners, as is the
case with the orchard within the fence,
as both belong to him. But the city
says he may not cut out the trees to
abate the nuisance nor unduly mutilate
said trees or hitch his horse thereto,
for the trees belong to the city. 1t is
evident that both attorney and law on
which his opinion is founded are wrong,
and justice dictates city ownership.

CAMPERS ARE A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT.

beauty in a certain New England state
One day they set out for a tramp Of
about five miles, their object being a
small waterfall of which they had
heard much about as one Of natures
masterpieces. When they had reached
their destination-that is, the point
where they were to make a short cut
in order to reach the fallS-they found
a sign on the gate, put up by the own
er of the land in the vicinity Of the
falls. reading, "No Tresspassing-Ad
mittance Only by Permission"
The sightseers thought nothing Of
this. as they imagined that the sign
was put up for the purpose of protect
ing the owner from undesira bles. So
one of them went up to the farmhouse
and courteously explained his request
to some one in charge at the time. He
was asked how many Of the party
there were. and, on being told eight,
he said, Forty cents"
Forty cents for what?" inquired the
perplexed visitor.

Without another word, but with an
unexpressionable feeling toward the
authorities who allowed such highway
robbery to exist within their jurisdic-
ton. the erStwhile hilarious nature en-
thusiast paid him the money and re-
turned to his companions, there to vent
his feelings against that class OF peo-
pie who take advantage of natures
gifts to further their Unsuitable greed
Does any one suppose that that self
same person when he reached his home
had a good word to say about how
hospitable such O community had been
No And who is to blame? Who is
the culprit that has turned useful
boosters into avowed enemies? The
get rich schemer.
The pleasure seekers were not going
to tramp over his cornfield or garden
batch, because he had neither. it being
all grazing and wooded land. with a
well beaten path leading to the falls.
Is it any wonder then when the next
summer comes around that instead of
bringing a few more friends as the re-
suit Of hospitable treatment they fail
to show up at all?
Boosters who would wish to see their
town rise to the highest point Of sue
cess In this world should ever bear In
mind the old proverb Of "Do unto
others as you would wish them 10 DO
unto you"

HOSPITALITY IS
A BIG BOOSTER
Courteous Treatment Of VISIT
OrS a Good Investment.
FOR MERCHANT AND FARMER.
Boom Your Town by Showing OFF Its
Attractive Points-An Example of
the Way In Which a Greedy Citizen
May Give a Town a Bad Name.


Has it ever occurred to the typical
American man of what benefit hos
pitality is to an entire community?
Hospitality, combined with beauty
and cleanliness, more than anything
else is responsible for the popularity
of some of the small towns Of this
country as summer residences. People
nowadays are in search of companion
ship and good neighbors when they
desert the cities for the country in the
summer time. Therefore it is up to
the people of the rural communities to
do sill in their power to make the
health seekers feel at home during the
first visit, so that when the next sum-
mer rolls around it will be with pleas
ure that they come back to the same
place. If this is done the results are
sure to be satisfactory to every one,
especially to the business men Of the
town. as the larger the population
grows the more will their output in
crease.
Hospitality, therefore, is the key to
prosperity.
Nowhere is hospitality more in evil
dence than in some of the oriental
countries. 1t is said that they will
feast a man, whether he be friend or
enemy. to his hearts content while
under their roof, never thinking of
harming a hair of his head, but the
minute he ceases to be their guest
they consider it but a trifle to kill him
for plumber.
While. of course, this is an exagger-
ated form of hospitality, still it shows
plainly how high these people, some of
them not yet advanced to the point of
civilization, hold the binding tie of hos
pitality toward a stranger.
If one-half of the above statement
could be applied to many of our Amer
lean communities there would be no
need of writing this story. Take, for
example, the unpleasant experience
that party Of tourists in New Eng
land had The facts are as follows:
A party of campers were spending
the summer visiting various places of

Why We Cannot
Charge School
Books.

Publishers give US 20 per cent dis
count from list price we to pay trans
portation and carry stock and run
risk of having dead stock left on our
hands, and some publishers offer in
lieu of the above: Ten per cent dis
count from list price, they to pay
transportation and carry the stock.
1t will be seen that they understand
that one means practically the same
as the other to the retailer; this
shows a ten per cent profit (2) on
books sold at list price.
There is no one that we know of in
Conway who is able to do business on
less than about 20 per cent expense,
which means that it costs the mer-
chants of Conway zoe on each dollars
worth of goods sold to make the scale.
This being true, how much have we
made on a dollars worth of school
books sold at list price?
1t would be ridiculous to ask or ex-
pect any other merchant to sell you
on such profit (?) paying basis, yet
it is all right to expect the book man
to do it, and in many instances to
charge the books
AS stated at other times, we do not
and cannot sell all books at list price
but We do sell the big per cent of the
new books at list.
This explains, We think, why we
cannot charge books and also why we
are forced to handle some second
books, which We would prefer not tc
do, if we could play even handling
new ones.
We have tried for years to save oul
customers every cent possible on
books, and we are making this explain
alton because we think many people
do not know the facts about this bus
mess. Appreciatively,
S. Z. ANDERSON.
