Beautiful Cities of the Future.

The development of American cit
les, especially since the civil war, has
been so rapid that 1t has been almost
entirely commercial. Like Topsy,
American cities have "just growed."
They began with cluster of shacks
at some road crossing and in their
growth they followed the lines of least
resistance. Streets took the places OF
.cowpaths and gradually town came
into existence and the authorities
thought that all that was necessary
to prepare for future growth was to
adopt q city plan of square streets or
streets conforming to the Topographic.
cal conformation of the place. In
many places the main thoroughfares
are narrow and these in later years
have become congested, the cities
have taken on a hodgepodge look and
there has been no room for beauti
flying things unldss radical changes
should be made. Many an American
city has walked up to these conditions
and the result has been that all over
the country the architectural physi-
clans have been called in to help
things out. If the pase keeps up these
architects venture to predict that with,
in twenty years the United States will
have a score, II not more, of beautiful
cities, which cannot be surpassed any
where in the world for their size.

SERVES A DOUBLE PURPOSE
Cultivation of Garden Reduces Cost of
Living and Helps to Beautify
the City.

There Is no good reason why the
occupant of a small lot in city or town
should complain about the high cost
of living in the summer time, If he is
willing to endure sore muscles for a
brief period and to undertake perhaps
unaccustomed labor with spade and
rake.
Every back yard on which the sun
shines with reasonable warmth can be
made to produce fresh vegetables
enough to supply the average family
in abundance and variety not sur,
passed by the menus of expensive ho-
tells.
Every food requirement can be met
with vegetables grown in the back gar.
den. 1t Is indeed difficult to find the
soil or location which will not produce
good crops if proper skill and care be
used in fertilizing and preparing the
soil and in choosing the seed.
Statistics have proved that the high
cost of living is not due to increased
expense in producing food, but that
the big proportion of the high prices
goes to the middlemen. Every owner
of garden is independent of the mid.
dleman. No time may be lost by the
man who wants to try gardening In
preparing the ground and sowing the
seed.

Rose-SIIn nav

Tacoma, in the state of Washing
ton, has worked out, an idea that is
worth copying. 1t has a Tacoma Rose
society, and this society has hit upon
the plan of giving away rose slips in
order to encourage the cultivation of
roses and to help along the campaign
for city beautiful. The first rose
slip day was celebrated this year. The
society was not prepared for the de-
mand for slips. Crowds, many of
whose members were children, clam
ored for cuttings. The society had
only $4,000 to give away, and this did
not come anywhere near meeting the
call. 1t has now announced that it
will be glad to receive cuttings from
any citizens who are pruning their
bushes, and next year 1t hopes to dis
tribute 100000 slips.
What such planting of roses will
do for Tacoma can be imagined. or
course, rose-growers on the Pacific
coast enjoy certain advantages which
their eastern kindred sigh for in vain.
But the Tacoma idea is worth copy
ing, If not in roses in something else.

Stay on the Farm

One of the truths the back TO the
soil leaders are trying to impress on
the public is that the farmer has a
rightful place in the high estimation
of all classes and that to be a farmer
is TO be one of the most important
citizens OF any commonwealth. All
wealth has its roots in the soil; the
earth is the mother OF us all. Take
from Nature what Nature offers for
the support Of the human kind is do
ing one Of the greatest Of all social
services. To be a farmer is not to be
the butt OF ridicule any more. This
is what the leaders are trying to i'm
press on the public mind They have
no difficulty in doing il with the
thoughtful in the crowded places:

isn't ii good enough for him? And
has he need of remaining without the
scientific education farming now de-
mands? Year after year greater pro
vision is being made for the educa-
ton of the boy on the farm.
A. b. Hepburn. chairman of the
board of directors of national bank
in New York, agrees that there is a
fine opening in agriculture. while
Washington Il. Connor. another New
York banker, declares that a good
field is the scientific development of
agriculture He says: The product
of the soil of any country is its most
valuable asset, and the yield of the
soil is vital to the business interests
of the country and to the welfare of
every individual in it. Our soil is not
producing anywhere near what il
should give per acre in our important
crops" He offers four great fields OF
opportunity and makes farming one
of them. James G Cannon. also in
the banking business, says that the
college man will make no mistake If
he stays right in the East and be-
comes a farmer Great opportunity
is offered in mixed farming, he says
SO there il is. Stay on the farm
and grow up with the farm. Make
the farm what 1t might be. Educate
yourself along scientific lines ana ap
ply your knowledge to the soil This
is what all the advice means to Yer
mont boys who are on the farm. The
soil is good; it is adapted to the rails
ing of many products. The orchard
presents a grand opportunity for sue
cessful work. Therefore, stay on the
farm.-St. Adams Messenger.

THEFT OF MONEY ORDERS.
All Postmasters Warned To Be On
Lookout For Forgeries.


Washington, July 23.-Serious
thefts of money orders have been re-
ported to the Post Office Department
here by the postal authorities of
Canada and Mexico. Forty-seven
blank money orders, in a series run
ming from No. 1858 to 300 inclu-
sive furnished for the use of the
Postmaster at Cambridge, Ontario,
were stolen, and So far have not been
traced.
In Mexico fifty-eight orders have
been reported stolen. They are in a
series running from No 1912 to 1900
inclusive. In both cases it is thought
that the thefts were committed with
a view to making out the orders in
high figures and then cashing them in
remote Offices The Mexican theft
was committed at Perdicena in the
State of Durango. There have been
disorders in that State, but the report
does not charge e rebels with the
theft.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Britt has directed all postmasters in
this country to refuse payment of the
orders in question They are order
ed to wire as soon as one Of the mis-
sing orders is presented, and if pos
sible they are to take up the order
itself. 1t is hoped In this way to run
down the thieves.
