Small Towns Beauty.

Austin, Minn.. with a population of about $500, has the usual activities of a little western town. Five divisions of the C., M. & St. P. railroad center there for repair shop facilities. It has a large packing house, its own electric light and water works, worth s309, ,000; a good-sized cement plant, brick and tile works. etc. But this prosperous community is especially notable for it's city beautiful" idea. Not content with it's parks of forty-five, fifteen and five acres, it has estab- lished a floral decorative scheme. The well-paved streets are arranged on floral plan. The wide parkings of one street are beautiful at one season with profusion of the wild crab trees bloom; another presents ribbon of color from geraniums: another street presents line of catalpas, snowy with blossoms, and so on. The workmen at the shops and railroad station at their own expense annually employ landscape gardener, and the bare. dusty patches of waste ground there abouts have been transformed. Spires. phlox, lilies of all kinds and towering shrubbery. as we'll as annuals, are used.

PAYS TO SAVE THE TREES
They Add to Attraetlveness and Com fort of Home, Is Declaration
 of Writer.

It Is rare case when we cannot give the following admonition, says writer in the Minneapolis Journal. Save all the trees possible on your land. If tree insists on standing in the way when you are building a road, let your road take way around. Even tree left standing at the side of road or in the sidewalk may add pie turesqueness to the land, which in itself in an attraction to buyers.
 If the land bordering the road in a residential tract is thickly wooded. trees may not be needed in the plant ing strip. Indeed, leaving all planting out of the street tends materially to widening it's appearance. It is un- usually. however, good idea to plan for street trees. Their presence makes for coolness and comfort and the gen. eral attractiveness of the region.
 Forty feet apart is the best distance for street trees and safe one to fol- low. Planting at closer distance gives the trees scant room for mature de- velopment. It is also more expensive for the real estate man. Trees may be planted opposite each other, if the distance between trees on opposite sides of the street is forty feet. Should the distance be less, the trees had best be "staggered"-th Is, placed alter nately.

 M HELPS
CONTROL OF STREET TREES
Municipal Oversight Imperative ls Conclusion Arrived At by Stu
 dent of the Subject.

After many years study of the streettree problem, digesting reports from the principal cities in this coun- try, viewing such work done in Cali fernia, one can form but one opinion as to how the work may be properly instituted and prosecuted No satis- factory permanent improvement in street planting may be done except un- der direct and strict municipal con- troll
 But very few property owners are competent to choose the right tree for a specific street, and not one such may live in your block or in your street. It is all question of fitness, of which it's natural ability to thrive under the hard conditions prevailing in city streets is by far the most i'm portant point Then comes longevity. for tree should stand for centuries.
 Even after the right tree is planted 1t must have intelligent care bestowed. and all trees on one street should be watered and pruned alike, set at the same distance apart and given the same general care, the latter consist ing of numberless little things that make an important factor as whole. Even the control of insect and other pests becomes a serious matter early In the life of any tree Individual property owners are possessed of too great a variety of tastes, interests. ideas of responsibility and degrees of hanging on to the purse strings ever to make unorganized effort more than failure or even organized effort much of success.-Los Angeles Times.

.DlSEASE-CARRYING
 INSECTS PRESENT NEW WAR HORRORS

Cambridge, Eng, April 14.-The Minor Horrors of War are describ- ed in pamphlet written by Profess sor A E. Ship1ey, president of Christ's 8 College, Cambridge, and former chief instructor of the Prince of Wales.
 The booklet deals with the various insects which carry disease and dis comfort among soldiers in camp or at the front. The latest methods of dealing with these minor horrors'' are discussed in simple language, as the book is planned for circulation among the troops.
 The book begins with lice, which the author asserts may be more inn portant in this war than submarines. This minor horror, which is the car- rier of typhus, loves to anchor itself to the flannel shirts of the soldiers
 The bed-bug and flea are at pres ent not under grave suspicion as dis ease carriers, although the rat flea carries bubonic fever. The flour moth gets into soldiers biscuits. The house fly carries typhoid bacilli, and by crawling over jam or floating in milk may spread the infection far and wide.
 Dr. ShipIey also discusses mites and ticks and 1eeches, and discIoses that 'at one time ticks were very common in Canterbury Cathedral, and wor- ried the worshippers."

AMERICAN BANKERS
 ENGLISH HOME GIVEN
 TO BLINDED SOLDIERS

London, April 14EThere are al- ready fifty blind soldiers, including three officers. at the home of Otto Kahn, the American banker, at Re gents Park, St. .Dunstan's. Mir. Kahn turned his residence over to the Bed Cross society some time ago for, the use of soldiers who had lost their eyes.
 The Kahn estate includes about hf- teen acres of grounds, with various small buildings which will be used for training rooms and work sh ops. There is also a small lake on which the blind men will be allowed to row.
 The sightless soldiers will receive prelim1naryS instruction in carpentry, boot repairing, mat making basket weaving. telephone operating, mas sage. poultry farming, and market gardening, an effort being made to find for each man the occupation to which he is best adapted. The cost of running the institution will be met by the Red Cross, the National In stitute forJthe Blind and the Order of iSt. John.

CHANCELLOR HAS PLAN
 TO PROVIDE HOMES FOR MEN CRIPPLED IN WAR

Berlin, April 14-Dr. von Beth mann HoIIweg, imperial chancellor, is considering the feasibility of a sug- gestion for the establishment of a ''hero colony near the famous old Pforta School in South Prussia of which he is an alunnus, where those uaimed and crippled in the war may take up their life after it is over.
 The originator of the idea Is Paul Kersten, head of a big factory in Bad Kossen. He believes that there will be thousands of noble and pa tr1ottc girls and widows of soldiers who when peace is concluded will be glad to marry the men who have been injured and who otherwise would grav1tate into soldiers homes.
 To prevent this is one of the prin- cipa1 objects of the proposed plan. Kersten feels that soldiers in such a situation soon come to feel that they are useless and in the way, whereas they can continue a useful and happy existence if they have their own. homes and wives to help care for them.
 Kersten believes that the loss of an eye or a, leg is not a defect that in any way affects future generations. If injured soldiers can marry and live in colonies instead of in homes by themselves, he thinks that the birth rate will have some of the increase that is to be necessary after the war.
