THE RouSTA6ouT
Sunday morning from our window
we saw newsboy gathering up some
loose papers off the lawns, take them
ont TO the gutter and burn them This
is typical of the way everybody in
Pasadena tries to beautify the town.
On many OF the streets palms are
grown in the parking where we grow
shade trees. The parking is narrow
and when the. palms are young they
are so nea- that they hang over from
half to two-thirds of the walk. Pedes-
trians appreciate the efforts of the
property owners to beautify The street
and walk around the palm leaves day
in and day out After rain a person
gets a ducking from the water stand
ing on the big leaves, but they take
it good naturally AMI go on. 1t is a
crime to modest live oak tree, and
they are left in the middle of the
streets, in the center OF the sidewalk
or anywhere that nature planted
them. The telephone and trolley poles
are all painted green TO adj to the
DCduly Vi stuC anu i-oo All
geles county has, erected rose arboTS
at regular Intervals of less than a
quarter of a mile, along all the princi-
pal bouleyards in the country. AT each
arbor, which resembles big farm
gate made of heavy wire mesh sup
ported on galvanized pipe, three rose
bushes have been planted, two of
white and one of red roses. If these
arbors were set end to end they would
reach nearly, two hundred miles.

These are some of the reasons why
the country is attractive. The natives
have improved on that old saying
that the way to reach mans heart
is through his stomach. They have
learned that the way to attract the
tourist and get his mon" is by way
of his eye. And most of the beauty
here is only skin deep at that. Stop
the flow of water in the i?rigating
bitches and the country would go
back to the barren waste and the cac-
ii. The Spanish names are in keeping
with the country and in many cases
as deceiving as the dividends on a
$4,000 per acre ranch. For instance in
place of calling it Oak street as we
would in Iowa, they call IL Los Rob

and other climes. AMI the rose by
some other name may smell no sweet
err. but it commands a better price.
