CONTROL OF GERMAN CITIES
The Mayor, or Burgomaster In That
Country, is Elected for Term
of Twelve Years.

German cities are perhaps the best
governed of any in the world. The
German burgomaster or mayor, is
selected by the council for a term. in
many instances, of twelve years, is
generally reelected to a second term
and is thereafter eligible to a pen
sion.
He is selected because of his spe-
cial fitness and training for the work
is as elaborate as training for the
physician or lawyer in this country.
When German mayoralty is vacant
candidates from other cities present
themselves to the council with their
credentials
German burgomasters are far better
paid than American mayors. They
have corps of trained assistants
who also are specialists with definite
training for their particular work. The
police department is under the direc-
ton of the central government NUM-
cipal ownership is both common and
profitable Street railways and water
works are operated at a profit. Some
cities operate savings banks which
have accumulated vast SURPRISES to
loan to people who buy homes.
This country has much to learn
from Germany in the management of
its municipal affairs. Our system is
cumbersome and ineffi-
cient. We have intrusted our ideals
of the city beautiful" too long to
hack politicians and retainers of spe-
cial interests. We cannot have a gov
eminent of the whole people, for the
whole people or by the whole people
as long as we permit the city to be
ruled with a shepherds crook.

THOUGHTLETS

Queer that play isn't considered a
go unless it stays.
If man tells you you are one-sided
tell him he's another.
A man of many parts should be
pretty well put together.
Some people spend all their lives
lust wondering what will happen next.
Editors and breach of promise de-
PENDANTS generally pay on publication.
There is always room for even the
street cleaning department to mend
Its ways.
When bore calls on you while you
are out, it is really quite thoughtful
of him.
we always rejoice in the good. for-
tune of our friends if it doesn't exceed
our own.
Many a fellow borrows trouble be-
cause it's about the only thing his
credit is good for.
There's almost as much difference
between tweedledum and tweedledee
as there is between a shop girl and
a saleslady.
Don't Jump to the conclusion that
man OF letters is literary man. He
may merely be the defendant in a
breach of promise suit.

A Cheap Fertilizer For Oats

Farmers having light, sandy
soil, or whose farms are a fair
loan, but which have been ex-
hausted by long-continued crop
ping without much fertilizer, will
find it still possible to raise fair
crops by the use of Fertilizing
Salt. This kind of fertilizer APP
pears to give especially good re-
suits on Oats. 1t not only makes
the straw sitter, consequently
making the crop less liable to
lodge and rust, but also keeps the
ground moist and so insures a
better catch when grass seed is
sown with the Oats.
A very desirable Salt for fertil-
izing purposes is sold by c. S.
PAGE, Hyde Park, Vt. 1t is more
valuable than most cheap salts,
as it contains more or less refuse
matter which comes from the
hides on which it has been used.
The price is only $500 per ton,
TO. b. Hyde Park, and the freights
are moderate, especially on Is
ton carloads. This price is SOC
less than last year and is likely
to be only temporary. Orders
therefor SHOULD be placed as early
as possible. Prompt shipment
can be made and full particulars
will be given on request.

COURSE IN GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Ten Commandments, or Words of Ad-
vice Which Every Lover of His
Town Should Hear.

1. Don't lie about your town. The
truth is good enough for the booster,
and the knocker is soon found out.
2. Protect the healthfulness Of your
town. The fly is the product of filth,
and the mosquito must be Graded in
stagnant water; still, it is fatally easy
to raise a good crop of either.
g.. Increase the beauty of your town.
1t is great thing to make flower
bed where an ash heap grew before.
Beauty is its own excuse.
4. Improve the moral tone of your
town. BY so doing you keep down
the taxes, for good citizen is cas-
Ter to control than bad one
s. Support the educational institu-
tons and pay the school tax gladly,
Educate your people and attract the
educated. A trained mind is the
worlds most potent force.
6. Take the newspapers, advertise
in them, and do anything else you can
to help in their support or improve
ment The press is the mirror of the
town.
I. support the chufcneS Iney
have faults, like all other organiza-
tions composed of human beings, but
they are the only institutions in the
community that stand primarily for
righteousness and spirituality
8. Keep up an interest in the po-
litical affairs of your town. After
your carelessness has allowed the po-
litical power to slip into the hands of
grafters, only strenuous battle can
get it back.
8. Don't blame the results Of your
own shortcomings on the town. The
success of your neighbor will prove
you a liar
10. Advertise your town. People,
like moths fly toward the light.-Lake-
land (Fla.) Telegram.

Attractive Rural Homes.

Cities have no monopoly in pretty
homes, nor should have, for it is
much easier to garden or embellish
successfully in the country. Every
rural home should be attractive. OF
course, paint and neat, classy build
Ings and fences have much to do with
it, but without these one may have
much of beauty. Vines work wonders
In hiding ugly structures, harshness
of architecture and lack of paint. The
chief outside attractions of my place
should be trees, shrubs, and Towering
plants, either in city or country. In
rural communities we do not so much
notice the architecture as the sur
roundings, for the latter speak for
the character of the inmates.
