but an advertisement of the POSSIBLE
tiles of beautiful city, for the park
The reason why one sees so many
towns in this great west without a
blade of grass or flower to rest the
eye. is perhaps owing to the feeling
that we will be here but short time
and it is hardly worth while to go to
the trouble of planting and caring for
unnecessary things. The best citizen
ship demands that we do some things
for those who come after us and be-
sides most of us do stay on year after
year, and looking back can see what
beauty spots we might have made our
homes had we planted trees and
shrubs years ago. No better civic
movement could be set going than to
interest the owners of every residence
lot in Tonasket, in planting for City
Beautiful" Why not adopt a particu-
lar flower and every one go in for the
study of the culture of that one to it's
highest state of perfection. Mrs. Clay
Fruit has demonstrated the fact that
roses of certain varieties can be grown
here that will rival the famous one of

plan, order early and well
MAKE TONASkET BEAUTIFUL.
