building in Woodstock. was the ia,l
but now was the Temple Erected to
Childhood"-the Public School. He
spoke highly OF the work of the School

many good suggestions of things that
could yet be done, among others the
establishment of Community Libra

State had funds at hand ready to help
with it.
DIR. Flanagan revealed through his
slides some startling facts as to the
causes OF some of our diseases. He
said that war had been declared
against the fly, aud every one should
enlist not only to kill him but to re-
move the filth where he breeds. around
our houses and yards. The doctor

people were dying, in proportion to

Mr.. Duncan showed statistics which
he had gathered showing the con-
dition OF the church, Sunday School,
ard public schools in the county and
urged every one to cooperate in the
forming of a definite constructive pol

The cities OF Europe" declares an

never dare to lose it's prestige as the
most beautiful city in the world. That
would be bad business.
We ought to consider it a ruinous
business policy for one of our cities
not to protect its beauty. Take the
railroad problem in our cities. At
present some railroads are beginning

for long time wherever we had a

desperation so far as beauty was con.

We ought to do the same In other
things. Here each fellow has gone

DATE PALMS IN CALIFORNIA
county Supervisors Are Planting
Them Along Roads and the
Work Is Applauded.

The board of supervisors of Los
Angeles county have authorized the
county forestry commission to pur-
chase 500 date palms at cost of q
dollar apiece to be planted along the
San Fernando road. There is a great
deal of work of this kind to be done
in southern California. 1t was nat
urally treeless section until the
hortculturist came in and adorned it
with millions of revenue-producing
fruit trees. The highways are still
neglected to a large extent, a 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 we'll 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 things.-Los Angeles Times.
