TREES ADD CHARM TO HOMES.
Fine Mansions Found In City, but
Pretty Homes In Country.

A very observant traveller of unques-
toned taste observes: 81 wish I could
more forcibly impress upon the minds
of the farmer the value of attractive
surroundings. Every farm home should
be attractive. 1t is not necessary to
have a fine house or fancy cottage or
expensive lawn fence to make the farm
home pretty. To be sure, neat fence,
a few ornaments on the house and the
free use of paint help nightly, but the
chief attractions can be made of trees
and shrubs. A shady lawn and 3
shady driveway are always attractive
Groups Of trees, Shrubs or flowers new,
er fail to charm. The lawn may not be
kept perfectly smooth, all the trees
may not be cleanly pruned, yet the
home place ornamented with them does
not fail to convey the impression that
peace and contentment dwell there.
AS lady from the city said, a pretty
farmhouse, suggests a happy birds
nest We do not notice the dwelling
so much as we do the surroundings.
If the surroundings are pretty we
know the interior of the house is all
right and that it is the abode Of love
and contentment and all that makes
life worth living. We look to the city
for f1ne mansions, but to the country
for pretty homes"

Peculiar Needs Of Plants.

Plant purchasers in doubt regarding
the best treatment for certain plants
should ask Of the party from whom
they buy. for he is indeed a poor nurs.
eryman who does not know more of
the requirements of his wares than
the average garden owner. California
draws her garden vegetation from
many lands of greatly varying eli
mates, and it must not be supposed
that all will thrive in the same garden
and under like treatment. Many have
peculiar needs regarding soils, heat,
sunshine. amount of water and other
conditions, and no one better knows
these special requirements than the
dealer who has produced salable plants
Of these sorts.

Requires Co. Operative Effort to Secure
Scientific Results.

Requires Cooperative Effort to Secure
Scientific Results.
Lack of adequate planning for indus
trial communities is vigorously dis
cussed in the Survey by George B.
Ford, city planning expert for Newark
and lecturer on that subject at Column
bia university. He says:
Large cities are spending millions
today to widen streets, cut through
new streets, provide parks and play
grounds in congested areas, almost all
Of which might have been saved If
the city had been originally planned
with foresight Hundreds of millions
are spent on hospitals, asylums, SAM
tariums, jails. health, police and fire de-
partments, large portion of which
could have been saved if the cities had
not been so wastefully and unscien-
tifically designed.
For example, if the lot and block
units and dimensions in sections sur
rounding the factories which moved to
Norwood and Oakley, on the outskirts
Of Cincinnati, had been laid out along
lines which experience has shown to
be most economical and desirable for
workingmen's dwellings and if provi-
sion had been made for recreation for
grownups as we'll as for children, as
suggested by the English garden
suburbs, the neighR2rhood Of The fac-
tories would now be almost exclusive
ly occupied by the employees in those
factories instead Of largely by clerks
and business men. who commute daily
to Cincinnati. And Furthermore. the
slum problem of Cincinnati itself
would be vastly less urgent.
IF the lots were cut for the Occu-
trimmed to the lot, if streets and road
ways were designed in location, direc-
ton, character and width for use and
not according to obsolete precedent; If
transit lines were designed with the
same efficiency that the manufactures
exhibits in designing his own plant; if
people could only realize that money
spent in scientifically designed recre-
ational facilities is paid back in many
ways to the community, then the work
ingmen's residential area instead of
being an eyesore and a disgrace to the
community would be what the Eng
lish garden suburbs now are-the most
charming and efficient housing areas
to be found anywhere in the world.
1.-THE problem is simple. 1t requires,
first, merely an appreciation of the
fact that city planning pays. and, Sec
ond, it requires a cooperative effort on
the part of the workingmen to secure
such scientific city planning"

Plants Must Be Well Fed, Well Guilt
waited and Not Crowded.
In the Woman's Home Companion
Frank A. Waugh. we'll known expert,
writes an article, entitled First Aid In
the Garden" an extract from which
follows:
prevention is better than cure in
the garden as in the home.
First and foremost. beyond all else
important. is the ability to resist dis
ease. This comes with good health and
exuberant growth. Plants which are
we'll fed, we'll cultivated. not over
crowded and have a proper allowance
Of water, and which are therefore max
ing sound and vigorous growth, rarely
acquire any serious plant diseases.
Even insects, strange though it may
seem, seldom attack a perfectly healthy
plant or. at any rate, they nearly al
ways appear first and most viciously
on those plants or crops already weak
ened by disease or neglect. Thus good
care and proper general management
are the first and most important meth
DDS of combating plant diseases"

Communities Should Pull Togethe,

Communities Should Pull Together.
A single snowflake falling upon the
broad landscape ultimately melts and
leaves no visible trace Of its abortive
effort, but when joined to millions Of
others the earth is soon covered with
white mantle, says the Farm Jour
nal. A single brook vending it's way
through the valley is weak and impo-
tent, but Joined with others it forms
a great stream whose flow speeds the
wheels of industry. A single man in
a community can do little by himself,
but by joining men of kindred aims
the union can do much for the moral,
mental and physical betterment of the
community. Neighborhoods cease to
grow when the people cease to labor in
union and work at cross purposes.
Therefore it is essential for the CON-
munity's advancement that all pull to-
gether There should be no room in
any neighborhood for pullbacks.

TEXAS CITY HAS PLANS
FOR CIVIC DEVELOPMENT.
improvements to Consist Of Street
Sewer and Water Main Extensions.

The city plan committee Of the San
Antonio (TexD chamber of commerce
Is having prepared at an expenditure OF
several thousand dollars a comprehen-
sive and modern city plan, which will
care for the future development and
growth of the city for period Of fifty
years after it has been completed and
the first steps taken to put it into eff
feet This plan is being made by a
force of experts under the direction of
Myron H. West. city planner and
builder. of Chicago.
In order to put this plan in operation
the voters of San Antonio will be call
ed upon to vote bond issue of $1,000
600, which will provide for street, sew
err and water main extensions, along
with other civic improvements. The
passage of the bond issue is assured.
and several contracting firms from the
north and east have already opened Of
fees there. with view Of bidding on
and securing contracts for the improve
ment work.
In the way of street improvements
for the present the work will consist
of repaving the principal streets in the
business section Of the city and the
main arteries Of traffic or thorough
fares leading to the suburban residence
districts. 1t is expected that $2,OOO,O 900
will be spent in this work
A bond issue of 100000, with an ad-
ditional $4,000 appropriated by the
city, has already been passed for wild
ening Commerce street, one of the
principal business streets, for a dis
lance Of several blocks, from Alamo
street to Main plaza. The abutting
property owners have pledged them
selves for another 100000. and the en-
tire work will cost about 100000. The
street at present varies in width, and
the fronting buildings will be set back
to make it a uniform width Of sixty
five feet. The setback will range from
thirteen to twenty-three feet.

of the city, may be found living in
the most unhealthy sections of the
town. Thus unconsciously the health
and joy Of living Of many may be
daily and unnecessarily Sacrificed to
presumed commercial needs. ~enssa,-
Little thought has been given to the
creation of pleasant healthy residence
neighborhoods and the safeguarding
of these neighborhoods by the com
munity or the city itself. The fac.
tory, the railroad, the business house.
have first call on locations most desir-
able for their particular uses.
The remarkable fact is that nearly
every one has come to feel that the
successive rise and decline of resi-
dence nelghborhoods in our cities are
unavoidable and that even the very
location of residence sections is. Sec
ondary to every other interest of the
city.
In the lack of proper control of the
laying out of residence sections, home
owners sustain annually loss Of mil
lions of dollars through the decline and
shifting Of residence neighborhoods.
Today, the home owner is generally
helpless to prevent the erection Of an
undertaking establishment Of laun-
dry at his side or the erection Of q tall
warehouse, cutting of all air and sun
shine from his family and children.
Rigid municipal control should be
employed in the exclusion Of undesir-
able commercial uses of land within
the territory set aside for residence
purposes. We should not leave the sur
rounding of our homes to the selfish
private interests Of the real estate spec
ulator. We should not hazard the en-
vironment and surroundings of our
children to the mercenary interest of
the shifting ownerships of surrounding
tracts of land. The fronting of resi-
dences and placing of Outbuildings
should be SO regulated as not to injure
surrounding homes nor mar the ap-
pearance Of a neighborhood.
Safeguards of this sort should not be
confined to the residential sections Of
the we'll to do. Applied to neighbor-
hoods Of workmen's cottages, they will
prove just as great benefit to the
community and it's health and happi-
ness.
The function of the municipality is
constantly being applied to new fields.
At first it was broadened under the po-
lice power Of the city. It's successful
advance, often against bitter opposi-
ton, foretells the larger use of the
right of eminent domain. by which the
municipality for the public good may
extend much further its control over
the creation, development and main.
terance of residence property for the
greatest good to the greatest number.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
SCHOOL GARDENS VALUABLE.
Child Should Be Educated Out of Doors

Child Should Be Educated Out of Doors
as Well as In.
The need of gardens for children, es-
pecially those residing in cities. is be-
ing more generally realized every
month, and many progressive cities
and towns are providing such spots for
their youth. In the annual reports Of
the School Garden Association of New
York the president says:
AFTER twenty-five years experience
as teacher l am convinced that the
incarceration of little children within
four walls of classroom for too long
periods is a great error. The child
must come into contact with nature or
he is not educated. We have no choice
in the matter because we were made
to so develop Therefore school gar
dening is worth while because it en-
bodies an integral and fundamental ele-
ment in education.
1.-THE small garden plot is very i'm
portant because it presents to every
child in the school an ideal Of outdoor
work. Even if he cannot touch it with
his own hands he can see it and watch
the daily growth.
IF school gardening is worth while
it should be a part Of our course of
study. It should be prescribed as in
Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, st.
Paul and many other cities. i is best
to place it in the fourth or fifth year,
as these children seem to be most at
tracted by school garden work, and if
taught in these years in after years a
great many of them will take it up at
home.

to clean up their back yards. to beau

ADVERTISING TO GET RESULTS

The Right Kind Certain to Bring an
Increase of Business.
Advertising is simple to some peo-
pie and very difficult and complicated
to others. The former class never
spends a dollar on printing ink with
out the assurance of good returns. The
other class sometimes spends thou
sands of dollars without the slightest
result.
Is it a mystery? Not at all. A thor
oughly experienced person can tell be-
forehand whether an advertising cam
paign will pay. 1t is not easy to say
just what form of advertisement will
give the best results, but it is easy
enough to select the method Of adver-
Using which will give such results.
There is a right way and a wrong
way of conducting an advertising cam
paign, and good advertisements and
good mediums may prove worthless II
the advertiser has chosen the wrong
way. 49,. S "a

mo matter how much Of value may
