NEED FOR CITY PLANNING
Many Intelligent Men Do Not Seem to
Understand What 10 Meant
by the Term.

Mr.. ]. Horace Mcfarland, president
of the American Civic association,
took as the subject of his annual ad-
dress at the convention of the associa-
ton in Washington, "Wanted-Ameri-
can City Planning for American
Cities BY way of introduction, he
said: ct may truthfully be said that
to the average intelligent American,
be he mechanic or business man, doc
tor or professor. preacher or politician,
the words city planning at once re-
fer themselves as part of a vague
propaganda for the city beautiful,
having to do with permanent or tempo
rary courts of honor, extra illumina-
lions, and other towns Of municipal
frippery 1t is a serious fact that this
complete misunderstanding exists to
such large extent among the many
excellent people who call themselves
practical sand who really try to be
good citizens. This fundamental error
of conception prevents these good peo-
pie. most essentially necessary to the
efficient progress Of orderly city max
ing. from realizing that city planning
which is at all worth while Is con-
cerned, first, with means of inter-
communication, with transportation,
with markets and house sites and fac
tory locations, with water and sewer
age, with parks and Fairgrounds, and
all the other factors Of prosperity, eff
ficiency and convenience, rather than
with appearance or ornament as es-
sentials. When we shall have estab-
lished in the minds of these unknow-
ing citizens the plsin fundamentals OF
that larger use of architectural and
economic principles which have to do
with the community efficient, there
will be far less Heuble in bringing
about the use Of common sense In
those municipal operations concerned
in the framework and structural de
tails of our towns and cities"

which is a further drain on her sys-
tenn. If she is given a few weeks
to repair her WORKOUT body tissues
and to store up little excess fat she
will give more in the entire year,
than she would milking continuously.
If not given rest before calving,
she begins a new lactation period at
lower level of production, and will
maintain lower level through the
entire time Six weeks is none too
long for any COW and if she is badly
run down ten or twelve weeks will be
better.

plant snapdraaons.

Have q bed of snapdragons for the
garden. These old-fashioned weeds,
as they are sometimes called, have
become very popular. As q table
flower they surpass most any other.
Sow the seed inside in pots, or out

When the plants are five inches tall
set them in rows two inches apart
each way. Close growth gives the
best effect and bloom. All colors and

CREAM OF HIGHEST QUALITY
Dor or Expense-PrincipIes In
VOWED Are Simple.

One of the most common causes OF
poor quality butter is the lack Of i'm
mediate, thorough cooling of the
cream after separation. The dairy di-
vision of the United States depart
ment of agriculture has made care
full investigation Of conditions on a
large number of dairy farms, and the
ds..zaz ined show that. if properly
cooled, cream of the best grade can De
produced with but little extra labor or
expense. The principles involved are
very simple and are easily under
stood.
A liberal use of ice which has been
stored in winter to be used the follow
ing summer is one of the requirements
for the solution of the poor butter
problem. Farmers who already are
delivering good products to the cream
cry usually have provided for them
selves convenient source of supply
for the ice, suitable houses for storing
the ice and ice water tanks for the
immediate cooling Of the milk and
cream.
In parts of New England, although
the dairymen often hold cream on the
farm four days in the summer and
seven days in the winter, they deliver
practically all their product while
sweet. After it reaches the creamery
it is pasteurized and shipped a dis
lance of from so to 800 miles, and may
still be sold in these remote localities
in the form Of sweet cream.

San Antonio, Texas.-GeneraI Villa
is reported from Monterey to have re-
ceived and acknowledged a contribu-
ton Of 100000 pesos from Monterey
merchants. Americans, it is said, were
exempted from contributing.
General Villa, when he received the
members of the Monterey Chamber OF
Commerce in connection with the con-
tributions caused the foreigners to
be separated from the Mexicans. To
the twenty-five American, French,
English and German members he
said:
Il have purposely separated you
from the Mexicans to explain to you
that you are here reaping the bene-
fits of this country and to tell you
that you are at perfect liberty to stay
here and that every courtesy will be
extended to you, but you must under
stand that you must obey the laws
of this country while you are here
If you don't care to do this, will put
a special train at your disposal to
take you safely out of the country and
every accommodation will be accord
ed you. Furthermore, IL any of you
wish to protest, l will give you free
use of the telegraph wire to your
governments
Addressing the Mexican members
Villa said:
You are thieves; you are taking
advantage of the poor people. They
are starving on your account. There
are no reasons for the price you are
demanding for food. 1 have tnvesti
gated and know you have stores Of
food in your cellars and that you are
holding those stores only for those
who can pay exorbitant prices. Dom
think you will go home when yol
leave here. You will be escorted t.
the depot and / will send you to Chi
huahua, where you will be shown
what should be done to thieves wht
rob the poor"
AS he spoke he pointed to the long
broad inner balcony of the portieo
where a company of soldiers wa
lined up.
Later Villa said he had changed hi
mind about sending them to Chihua
hua, and upon the Mexicans pledginl
their lives, as guarantee of paymen
Of the 100000 pesos, he let them &c
