Against the Ubiquitous Billboard.

Agitation against the billboard
nuisance is lively in many sections and
In spite of much opposition will not
down. Civic organizations in many
cities are waging a more or less bitter
warfare against this universally ac-
knowledged evil One federation of
clubs in a western state has this to say
In a circular recently issued:
Never cease to agitate talk against
the unsightly billboards and do all
within your power to rid your town OF
them. Refuse to patronize firms ad-
yertising in this manner. They will
soon find out it does not pay them to
use billboards in your town. and you
will have gone a long way toward
Kidding the state of them" An active
campaign for legislation adverse to
this Objectionable form of advertising
is now going on in numerous states
and in the end gives promise of being
successful.

The Chndren's Day Services.

ChiIdren's day was observed at the

morning services. At the Congrega-

beautiful with many large ferns and
an abundance of the mountain laurel
In the centre of the platform was the
motto, 1.-The Sunday school of TODAY
Is the Church of Tomorrow, which
was framed with flowers. The pro
gram was given by the members Of
the school and consisted of songs and
reeitations. 4 very pretty part of the
program was the baptizing of seven
children.
AT the Universalist church the dec
orations We're attractive with many

school was graded anG since that time

at this service. at the close each
child was presented a potted plant.

George L. kessler, fellow of the Ameri-

in an address at the recent national
conference on city planning at Chi

This system said Mr. Kessler, "has
placed the park department of Kansas
City in a semiindependent position
with reference to its funds and has
made it possible to accomplish results
that would have been entirely out of
the question under any other financial
system in that city.
''In practice the system is an amplifi-
cation of the single tax theory. 1t was
not accomplished as a matter of choice,
but as a matter of necessity, and. mas
much as no properties had been ac-

MAPLE TREES HIS MONUMENT
Pennsylvania Man Beautified Streets
of Espy Fifty Years ADO.

Fifty years ago in Espy, Pa, NJ. c.
McCollum planted many maple trees on
the streets. He said that these trees
would always be a monument honor
ing his memory. During these years
Mr.. McCollum has taken great inter
est in the growth and development of
his trees.
This is type of patriotism worth
far more than that aroused by wars
alarms. 1t makes for better living
because it is constructive and per-
manent and bears on home life In
deed, men reared in such surroundings
will be better citizens and, if need be.
better soldiers, because their homes
are more than walls of brick or wood.
Just as Mr.. McCollum has transformed
Espy from village of houses to q
village of homes, so countless other
villages and towns may be transform
ed. 1t needs only the awakening of a
genuine, peaceful patriotism to make
oneself a public benefactor in this
kind of way. Such a movement will
surely keep ones memory green better
than "storied urn or animated bust"
