OFFICIALS MAKE CLEANUP
Several Men Arrested and Fined for
Procuring and Selling Liquor
to Minors.

For number Of months it has been
possible for minors of almost any age
to secure intoxicating liquors in Sank
Centre, and this condition has caused
Mayor McGibbon and police officers
no end of worry.
Several alleged offenders have been
arrested and when the time for trial
came jury was asked for and allow
ed and an acquittal followed.
Meanwhile the officials had a pretty
definite idea where the liquor was be-
ing secured and continued to saw
wood and pile up evidence that would
stand up in court.
Last weeks Herald made mention
of the Arrest of mere lad for being
beastly intoxicated on the streets one
evening earlier in the week. The boy
was an unwilling witness but gave
enough for the officials to start a
cleanup.
Thursday afternoon, Jan. 9th, Dav-
id Moline and Jos. Kortan, Jr., were
arrested and brought before Judge
Diehl, charged with procuring liquor
for minor. Both plead guilty and
were fined $40 and costs.
Friday, M. Robertson, who operates
a saloon on Third street was arrested
charged with allowing minors to play
pool and billiards in his place. He
plead guilty and was fined SO and
costs.
Saturday afternoon Thos. Dellll,
barkeeper for Robertson was hailed be-
fore the municipal court charged with
selling liquor to q minor. He Plead
guilty, and after Judge Diehl gave
him severe reprimand he imposed
fine of $50 and costs. This was paid
Monday.
Tuesday afternoon Robertson, the
proprietor was brought before the
court on the same charge, and Judge
Diehl gave him to understand in no
uncertain terms that che people of
Sank Centre would not stand for the
selling Of liquor to minors and habit
ual drunkards, and assessed . fine Of
$75 and costs.
Robertson has only been in the Ii
quor business in this city for a few
months and he apparently has had an
idea that he was, not carrying any re-
sponsibility under his license.
There are several charges pending
and the Herald understands that his
future conduct will largely depend
whether or not further prosecutions
will follow. The city authorities have
no desire to prosecute but they are
bound to have the laws enforced.
Generally speaking the saloons OF
Sank Centre are orderly and compare
favorably with those of any other city
in the state.

ACTION SHOULD BE GENERAL
New York Post Heartily Endorses the
City Planning Exhibition Being
Held There.

Especial interest attaches to the city
planning exhibition from the fact that
the probable ratification of the excess
condemnation amendment will enlarge
the possibilities before New York. Ex-
cess condemnation has probably
worked to best effect in Ohio, where
Cincinnati and Toledo have entered
upon large programs Of city building;
while Cleveland, as the current Survey
records, has undertaken the first mu-
nicipal experiment In suburban plan
ming and housing" through acquisition
of large tracts of land to be divided
and sold in building lots for working
mems houses. in many other ways the
exhibition, which we owe to George
McAneny and the Merchants associa-
ton, should be highly stimulating.
More than forty among the 200 Ameri-
can cities participating. and II among
the Canadian, have city planning COM
missions, while in Massachusetts,, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania helpful legis-
lation has been enacted. Our admins
traitors cannot afford to lag in fore
sight behind those of Toronto and
Philadelphia The exhibition should
contribute to the enlightenment OF
thousands of citizens upon our civic
problems.-New York Evening Post

SOME QUICK-GROWING TREES
japanese Poplar Has Proved Wonder
of Remarkably Rapid Growth
Most Beautiful Foliage.

The poplar family Is used very ex-
tensively to make a quick showing
along streets or newly laid out land
near cities. The Carolina is perhaps
the favored one; next to this is the
Lombardy, and, Of course, the naples
are frequently seen. The maple, says
The Agronomist, is beautiful, and will
always be used, in. spite of the fact
that many varieties are afflicted with
blight and bugs, and it Is very diff
cult proposition to coax an individual,
much less a community, to properly
spray and care for its shade trees.
The Norway maple Is undoubtedly
the best of the species for our ccadi-
tons. OF the poplars the Carolina ia
certainly not worth while: 1t has too
many troubles. The Lombardy Is
merely weird-as we see no beauty In
1t. 1t is the spindling straight up and
down thing that is so often seen in
European landscapes, painted or 9TH
erwise All we have seen in this
country were filled with dead limbs,
were unsymmetrical and scrawny
looking generally.
The Japanese poplar has proved
wonder of remarkably rapid growth,
has beautiful clean bark, grows very
thick, has a beautiful foliage, is not
injured by anything, was in full leaf
this year over two weeks before any
other tree, and its leaves remain after
most other foliage trees are stripped.
Catalpa species makes quick growth
sometimes. 1t comes out very late.
has leaf like a palmleaf fan, and Is
not pleasing in the winter.
Therefore we most heartily recon-
mend the Japanese poplar as the best
of all quick-growing trees.

IS HELPS
COMMUNITY IDEA THE THING
No Doubt That Towns Shouio be Ia'o
Out for the Benefit OF All the
Inhabitants.

II Is pleasing to note that to"n'
planning organizations are coming
into fashion even In villages or l'ooo
population. Such agencies are not as
general as they should be, but the
idea of directing the future develop
ments Of clustered communities along
thoughtfully planned lines, instead OF
on the old style go-as-you-please plan'
is spreading, with hopeful indications
that 1t will come into universal &C.
ceptance.
The small town or village has the
same sort of interfering difficulty IN
planning the layout in accord with ar
tistic ideals that blocks the way IN
the older parts of the cities. Inc
town is built, and quite often built
wrong. To put it right would mean
to tear down and respace and replace
the old structures. Such costly re-
modelling Is never thought Oft Ii
simply out of the question.
Sometimes sweeping fire clears
large business or residential area. ana
then there Is real opportunity to 40
some effective planning, not only as 10
the architecture of the buildings that
are to arise, but as to the setting ana
spacing, and, perhaps, the parking.
But what every town can and should
do Is to arrange the space that IS
available not only to Identification
but with regard to convenience and
sanitation. There is rather too much
individual freedom in the average
small town in the matter Of handling
property. There needs to be a com
munity idea that dominates individual
action

Street SIqns REGULATED.

Pictorial advertising on a large scale
on the streets Is not favored abroad.
where the advertising is confined either
to newspapers or to small artistic post
ers placed on special columns. some
three or four feet in diameter. each OF
which carries a dozen or more post
ers. The effort Is to attract attention
by the artistic effect OF poster rather
than by It's size. Such advertising col
umns may with advantage be placed
on safety isles, or in public squares or
at spacious corners. The interiors OF
such colmns are fitted with switches
or transformers of electric distributing
systems, or telephones for the police
or fire departments.

In cornice, and while 1t looks lighter
1t certainly looks neat and attractive.
This design may be built of any
kind of material, but 1t probably looks
the best just as the drawing shows
with -clap-boards up to the gable ends
and the gables covered with cement
on metal lath; and as for color drab
with pure white trimmings looks es-
pecially well. White trimmings on a
house gives a suggestion of cleanli-
ness inside, just as clean white

individual wearing them is particular

in a country district Prince Arthur OF
Connaught and some brother officers
lunched on top of haystack. Pres
emily the farmer appeared and fore

subject of his haystack being used as

and explained who the officers were,
and he added that one Of them was

believe him. Anyway, prince or no

SPRAYING SAN JOSE SCALE
Peach Growers Seem Inclined to Favor
LIme-Suiphur. While Apple Or
chardlsts Use Oils.

We are now having favorable time
to spray for the destruction Of San
Jose scale. Either lime cr u!2hur, or
soluble oil may be used with success,
but the important point is to use
something. Both remedies have their
advocates, depending somewhat upon
the kind II fruit and the local condi-
tons. Peach growers seem inclined to
favor the lime and sulphur, while the
apple orchardists, particularly an old
trees, give the preference to soluble
oils. What is better than either Is to
use both alternately, say the oil in
December, and the lime and sulphur
in the spring before the buds start,
says a writer In an exchange. Caution
should be used that the spraying is
not done when near freezing, as the
effectiveness will be impaired II the
mixture freezes before the water evap-
crates.
Whenever there Is much breeze stir
ring the consequent evaporation will
lower the temperature Of the spray
after striking the tree; also the north
side of trees will naturally be colder
than the south side. For these rea
sons 1t Is hardly safe to attempt the
work when the thermometer regist-
ers below 40 degree r. Do thorough
work, being cure that every limb Is
covered. Keep up a good pressure on
the pump, and be sure that your mix
ture Is properly made up according
to the manufacturers directions. The
scale Is now so thoroughly distributed
over the state that we must spray or
our trees will soon be gone.
