CHILDREN AID GOOD WORK
Even the Smallest Show Enthusiasm
In the Effort to Keep National
Capital Attractive.

To turn the waste places Of the city,
the vacant lots and unsightly lawns,
into beautiful gardens filed with
blooming flowers and clinging vines
is the object Of the Peoples Gardens
of Washington. and in the report for
the past year, which has just been pre-
pared, what has been accomplished
along these lines Is set forth. The
building up of recreation gardens for
The people of a neighborhood, the beau
tif1cation of parkings and back yards
of the city and general stimulation
OF interest In landscape gardening
have been gone into with enthusiasm
by the workers Of the association and
their labors have sho%n surprising re-.
suits.
One Of the noticeable facts concern
ing the work Is that major portion
was done during the past year by Lit.
tie children And II is in building up
the gardening inclinations Of the little
one that the elders are becoming much
interested and lending hand them
selves. The children, having acquired
a taste for gardening, are the ones
who are to make the capital beautiful
in the years to come It will fall up
on them to enlarge the park spaces,
preserve the trees and encourage the
planting Of dooryard flowers and flow
ering shrubs. The children have Ia
ken up the gardening idea as they
would take up q new game. They
have shown unusual thoroughness and
the utmost Joy in their work, and even
better results are expected from their
efforts during the spring and summer
10 come.

LIQUOR AT AseUaY PARK.

Asbury park, where, in November,
the National w. c. T. L. held its
fortieth annual convention, has a resi-
dent population of 25,0G0 and more
than million people visit the city
each summer. Its founder made in
every deed a restriction against the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquor, although as far as he knew,
there was not at that time another
seaside resort or incorporated town or
the American continent or in Europe
where in the deeds the sale of liquor
was prohibited Croakers and timid
ones predicted that total abstin-
ence seaside resort only fifty miles
from New York could never be sue.
cess. The result has proved the con.
trary. Asbury Park is the social and
commercial center Of the north New
Jersey coast.

URGES PLANTING OF TREES
Baltimore Newspaper Points Out How
Much They Add to Appear
ance Of City.

Baltimore can well approve Of the
movement for more city tree plant
ing, launched by the W'omen's Civic
league. There is no doubt other
cities have paid more attention than
has this to the subject, but it is one
in which all who are working for a
more attractive as well as for larger
and more prosperous city can well
consider. While good care Is taken OF
the trees In city parks and squares.
those along the street curbs are sadly
neglected, allowed to die and then
rarely replaced. Yet 1t Is no great
task to make tree grow along the
sidewalk. A little careful trimming,
q Iooseuing Of the earth at the roots
now and then, watch for bugs and
borers, that's about ell II the trse be
strong and healthy when 1t IL put In
the ground. OF course, now and then
an accident will happen and the tree
be unrooted or broken by runaway
horse or q careless driver. but even
then 1t can se easily replaced and
wheh young a box placed around It..
go as to shield It from harm.
Let US hope that this movement
will succeed. A thoroughfare with
handsome, healthy trees on either side
Is a city beauty spot and valuable
city asset Land is too valuable in a
metropolis to allow the creation and
maintenance Of large lawns, except in
suburban districts, but there Is plenty
of room for trees. even in streets on
which traffic is very heavy.
Arbor day, established to encourage
tree-planthg, has amounted to little
in Baltimore, outside Of the school.
house program, but now it can be put
to practical use for civic betterment
and civic beauty. Plant few now
and you will be surprised at the re-
sult.--Baltimore American.

Repentance.

The time is coming when Jesus
Christ will be worth more than ten
thousand worlds like this. Jesus
Christ is the ark that God has pro-
vided. Friends, will you come into
the ark or will you die outside It?
That is for you to settle. Men may
cavil as much as they please and say
they do not believe these things, but
do you know the average life Of man
is only thirty-three years?
1t is an inch Of time and eternal ages
roll on. It is but a shadow and vapor
and we are gone. II God spared not
the angels when they fell from their
first estate and cast them out; If God
spared not Adam; but turned him out
.cf Eden; do you think he will spare
you If you reject this salvation and
this offer of mercy?-Dwight L. Moody.

HARM IN MODERATION.

1t Is not the one who goes on an oc
casionai spree and then abstains who
sustains the greatest injury. The one
who resorts to alcohol in small doses
daily is being injured to a greater eX'
tent than the man who drinks to ex
ceas occasionally. 1t is the continu,
GUS mild irritation that brings about
the organic degenerative changes In
the blood vessels and organs of the
body. The man who INDUCES immod.
erately on widely separated occasions
gives his body chance to recuperate'

Good Plan for Small, Town.
TO come.


Villages and small towns in all parts
Of the United States would Go well to
follow the example OF Nilliamstown,
Mass. There the towr council has
adopted a scheme proposed by Presi-
dent Garfield of Williams college, and
providing that there shall be planted
annually along the roadside of the
town a number of trees that shall be
valuable for commercial as we'll as
Ornamental purposes. President Gar
neld. it seems. derived his idea from
Ela ce, where the plan has been car
ricd out successfully and has been
found 10 be decidedly worth while.
CCrditions vary in different towns
and villages of course. and in some
2 scheme Of this sort might be un-
desira ble or imDracticable. These.
however. are the exceptions. and for
9 majority of our smaller communities
adoption of DR.. Garield's plan would
be an excellent thing. One must
wait !vng time, it is true, before the
trees t.:.s planted become valuable
commercially, and it may be that the
public fund would never be swelled
very largely b. income derived from
them. Yet If in France that income is
found to Se sufficiently large to take
care Of tie towns most beautiful or
naments, IS trees, and in addition
leave something over for other pur-
poses. there seems to be no good rea-
son why the same thing should not
be true in this country.

FIGURES-AND FIGURES

FlGURES-AND FIGURES
At the banquet given il Chicago
by the Brewers association to Mr..
Vopica, the newly appointed United
States minister to the Balkan States
! and one of their own number, the
speakers attempted to show up their
business as one of the financial props
of the country.
Among the statements made were
these:
l. The brewers own and operate
1,40O extensive plants, manned by 67,-
600 wage earners on whom 100000 de-
pend for legitimate livelihood and sup
port.
2. The brewers of this country
have an invested capital Of s67o, ,0O0,-
600, and the value of their ennual
products is s375, 100000. They pay out
In wages and salaries annually $685.
100000.
8. They use annually 8100,000,0oo
worth Of grain and other materials.
Granting that these figures are cor.
rect let us remember that the account
between the nation and the brewers
has a debit al well as credit side.
Put over against the value Of the pro-
duce" and the $1,000 employees with
their wages and salaries" the amount
Of inem cheney and the number of
desths caused by the alcohol In beer
--lnemciency and deaths which entail
an army Of delinquents and depend
ents for the state to care of-and the
1,4Oo brewing plants are found to be
quite, as serious a drain upon the
country's assets (its finances and It's
citizenship as are the distilleries
which some Of the beer men are try
Ing to put out Of business.
AS regards the amount Of grain
used by the brewers, let US listen to
Prof. John A. Nichols Of Boston, who
has made an exhaustive study OF the
drink question from the financial and
Industrial viewpoint. Following is an
excerpt from his text book, Eco
nomic Studies in the Liquor Prob
lem," prepared for the course of study
of the young peoples branch of the
Womar's Christian Temperance
Union.
Investigation shows that only a
very small part Of the farmers pro-
ucts are taken by the breweries and
distilleries. For instance, during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911. 114,-
50S,S55 bushels of barley, wheat, rye,
corn and oats were used in making
alcoholic liquors. But the farmers
raised, during the year 1910, total
Of 5,143,1S7, 900 bushels Of these same
grains and this shows that the LIQUOR
traffic uses less than two and half
per cent. Of the five leading grain
crops of the land. For every bushel
Of grain used by the breweries and
distillevies more than forty-four and
three-ffths bushels are used for legi-
innate food purposes. One Of every
on5 hundred dollars worth Of grain
sold by the farmer the brewer and
distiller buy about s2.25h worth"
(Query: If brewers and disttllers
combined use less than 21s per cent
of the farmers grain. what proportion
is used by the brewers alone?)

Because he is deaf - deaf as a

what pity
Thus two young men on street of
Virden. Meantime the subject of
their conversation went on his way.
His face was smileless, his manner
stern and grim. He acted as would
one who had met with some great
disappointment or setback in life and,
unable to overcome it, had resolutely
set himself hard, definite task of
submission.
Deaf as a post was Dale Arm
strong, indeed. Nature was to him a
closed book, for it's bird and insect
orchestra he no longer heard. There
was something grotesque, quite ter
rible to him in this monotonous pan
tomime life. He could tell that a
CHEEKY little fellow who passed him
was whistling. On the porch of
pleasant home a lad with mandolin
was warbling some mirthful tune. A
young lady passed him and bowed
and unconsciously she murmured
some formal words of recognition,
mere mockery, almost torture to his
sensitive spirit, for he could not con-
strue their import.
AS his friend had said he had been
the crack man of famous college
football team. He had made the rec

his team with glory. but at a terrible
