MAKE THE HOME BEAUTIFUL
Vines Should Cover Unsightly Fences
and Back Yard Should Be
Garden.

One of the moving sentiments Of the
day is for the betterment of civic con-
ditions through the cooperation OF the
individual householder. The city has
its part and the civic organizations
have theirs, but the enthusing Of the
Individual until all individuals are full
of the spirit of making their city what
it might be from the point of view Of
simple esthetic adornment is the thing
that counts.
Nature has provided the means for
the most satisfying kind of home en-
Der of months the trailing vines may
cover the unsightly fences and along
the walks the beds Of brilliant bloom
may yield both beauty and fragrance.
The care Of the garden plot in the
back yard, where there Is no front
lawn, makes up total Of enjoyment
that no one should miss. Many an anx-
iety Is buried with the garden spade
and many worry set aside in tending
the simple flowers in the yard, and
health and hope wait upon such en-
ployment
The time is at hand when the work
Of caring for these spots that may be
made so bright and inspiring to young
and old may be undertaken and by
universal employment in this wise
the city will be beautified. Beautify-
ing the environment of the home will
make the home itself more beautiful
and full of content.

DrM ONLY A LITTLE GIRL"
Failing EyesIght Responsible for an
Old Mans Mlstake-Rebuke
Hardly Effective.

A certain group of youngsters in an
exclusive West Side residential Sec
ton had been very noisy. throughout
the forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to initiate bedlam, when a
very angry old man appeared at the
door of nearby apartment house.
He was quite old, and 1t was evident
that his eyesight was not the best,
but he finally succeeded In picking
out youngster who was aiding very
strenuously in the noise making.
The aged man walked over to the
child, took 1t by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
Don't you know It's against the
law to make so much noise?"
Eyes, sir" was the meek reply.
well, don't you know that you'll
be arrested and put in jail, and then
you can never be president of the
United States?"
please, sir" replied the child. 81
don't care; I'm only little GIRL
