THE CITY SURVEY.

Quite rapidly the commercial
/ organizations throughout the
country are coming to u realiza-
/ ton Of the need Of more accu-
! rate study and knowledge of the
conditions in their own cities.
! The time Of the holder Of the
stnecure in commercial bodies Is
! drawing to a close. The day for
wild, blatant, irresponsible pub
licity is passing. The dawn of
the new day finds men in every
! city thinking Of something more
stable, more constructive than
mere advertising Of generalities.
Today the commercial execu-
tive is studying his city and put
. ting thoughtful moments toward
learning the conditions which
. exist, the promised results being
'. change in those conditions
; which are not directly helping
the city.
; Survey" has become a very
, commonly used term in this day.
A survey is nothing else than a
careful study Of the conditions

BEAuTIFYING A STREET.

Michigan Avenue Of Chicago to 30
Widened and Extended.
World famous thoroughfares - like
the Champs Elysees, Paris; Inter den
Linden. Berlin; Ringstrasse, Vienna;
Piccadilly. London, and Fifth avenue,
New York city-do as much perhaps
to lure travellers from the uttermost
parts of the world to their respective
cities as any other single object of in
terest in them. writes Walter D. Moo
dy. managing director, Chicago plan
commission. in the American City.
Perhaps the most spectacular and
most needed street improvement ever
undertaken in large city is the Chi
cago Michigan avenue extension, ap-
proved by the people at the Nov. 8
election and which will cost $780, 600.
1t is likely that Chicago today in its
fascinating mile section of Michigan
avenue skirting the lake front and
coursing the heart of the city possesses
the most splendid business thorough
fare in the world. This is not only
true because of the magnificent facade
Of the palatial buildings, but also on
account of the fine perspective afforded
by the great open space just opposite
in Grant park.
The widening and extension of Mich
fgan avenue is to be on the two level
plan, the river to be crossed by dou-
BILE deck bascule bridge. This man.
moth bridge, the first Of it's kind to be
constructed anywhere, will have a span
Of 210 feet and width of ninety feet.
Light traffic will take the upper deck
and heavy traffic the lower.
The two level extension of Michigan
avenue is proposed solely for the pur-
pose of separating the north and south
from the east and west traffic. North
and south approaches to the upper
level will be on SO slight a grade as to
make the elevation almost impercepti-
BILE.
The significance Of the Michigan ave-
nue. improvements in the plan Of Chi
cago is best seen in the fact that It
forms the eastern boundary of the,
Quadrangle" in the plan. This quad
rangle" is bounded on the north by
Chicago avenue, on the west by Canal.
street and on the south by Twelfth
street. These four, streets are destined
to bear the heaviest traffic of any four
streets in Chicago. The development
of the Quadrangle will complete the
foundation of the street circulatory
system in the plan of Chicago. No
improvement is needed in Chicago ave-
nue.. That thoroughfare is now 100
feet wide.

ther from good cash markets he would
change his program somewhat, but he
believes that farmers who properly di.
versify their production and raise those
articles which pay the best can make
money anywhere. Some classes Of prod
uce require quick marketing, while
with others once week or even once
a month will answer the same purpose.
Perhaps the most interesting part Of
Mr.. Diapers enterprise is his crop sys-
TEN. His land is In such high state
Of fertility that he is able to fill his
two silos with corn from about ten
acres. The silage Is supplemented
with corn fodder from an extra four or
five acres and five acres Of alfalfa, TO-.
gether with beets, turnips and mill
stuffs. The latter is usually bran and
shorts, but this season there has been
less nutrition than there usually Is in
corn silage, and Mr.. Draper has
bought some cornmeal and gluten with
the bran and shorts. He feeds fair
~ well balanced ration averaging
somewhat about fifty pounds daily. his
cows being superior in size.
The animals are Holstein grades.
built up to the requirements of his in
tensive system by careful selection and
the use of first class sires. With thir-
ty pounds of silage the animals re-
ceive ten pounds Of alfalfa or some
fodder, five to eight pounds of concen-
trates and five pounds of roots. II the
latter are not on hand the silage is in
creased to thirty-five pounds.
Fifteen to eighteen acres Of corn is
the limit on little farm. Add the
FIVE acres Of alfalfa and there remains
enough land to permit small pasture
and five acres Of strawberries. BY q
regular system Of rotation and heavy
manuring the soil is enriched and kept
in fine order. There is little waste in
the pastures. and at certain periods
the cows have only two or three acres
on which to run.
1t happens almost regularly in ILL
nois that drought in July or August
destroys grazing for the rest Of the
year. but farmers Of Mr.. Diapers cali
Der do not allow their ground to lie idle
month after month. Usually he brings
on fodder crop for fall or spring use.
The COWS on little farm get an album
dance of grass or rye and clover until
midsumper, after which stall feeding
becomes liberal again. its extent de-
pending on, the condition Of the fod-
der crops. In addition to maintaining
the dairy this farm supports some
young stock and two or three mares.
Mr.. Diapers enterprise In strawber-
ries is separated from the regular farm
ing, as he has a partner In that branch.
His income from that fruit is large and
Is additional to the 5000 income from
milk and poultry. The labor in con-
nection with the Strawberries is han
died as a distinct account.
The fame Of this little farm in Du-
page county has extended over q wide
territory, and many farmers who are
burdened with more land than they
can work properly are turning to the
Draper methods. The first principle is
to get. rid Of surplus land unless there
is capital enough to organize and equip
the place assit ought to be run. The
Idea is to cut out waste and work thu
land to its greatest productive capacity.

SHOWER oF CONGRATULATIONS.

ATLANTA, Nov. 15.-As the legis-
lature puts the finishing touches on
the new prohibition bill this week, all
hats are off to Dr. G. w. Eichelberger,
state superintendent of the Georgia
Anti-Salpon league, who has been a
game fighter and hard fighter
against odds, and whose work has
finally been crowned with success.
After failing last summer to get
the kind of a speaker of the house he
wanted, instead of being discouraged
he started all over again. Even in
the hour of his defeat in that par
ticular fight, his strength began to
show itself, and before the regular
session ended last summer, the anti
prohibitiOnists knew they were up
against a real man. Even his oppon-
ents now admire him as fair and
hard fighter, and he is being show
cred with congratulations on what he
and the prOhibtiOnists of Georgia
have ACCOMPLISHED.

that one road to success comes from
doing the small things we'll; faith in
the power of God; and such character
that manly men like Jonathan VIII like
us.
We find that David was a man of
prayer and that he did not undertake
any great step in life without asking
the will OF God. Now while we do not
have answers in direct words to our
prayers, yet every praying christian
will say with truth that he or she has
been directed in life through prayers
to God for guidance. So we are taught
to pray by the lesson OF this date.
1t is clear that David was put to
some hard tests before he came to be
king. He had the hatred of King Saul
to contend with, and nearly met his
death. He was chased from point to
point as an outlaw and finally com
PEELED to quit his native country for
safety. If he had the expectation all
the time to become king, ne must have
thought things looked dark for this
to come about. God, had promised
each of us great things and final glor-
ious triumph. but this is no guaran-
tee that our lives will be ones OF ease
and no hardships, that everything Will
come our way Like David, however,
we must be patient forgiving, strong
in faith, feeling tlfat in Gods good
time all will come out right for us.
Let it be remembered that Jesus did
not ask for His believers to be taken
out of the world of temptation aod
woe, but that they ''be kept" faithful
and true through everything which
might befal1 them. Saint Paul well
said that nothing Should separate us
from. the love OF God, be it trials and
temptations of the most severe kind,
that through all we can come Off more
than conquerors by faith in Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Thus we can find in the life OF David
so far much to help us from day to
day. AS lad he was faithful to daily
duties of tending sheep, as a young
man he was full of faith in God and
dared do great things for Him. De-
spite the i'll usage given him by Saul,
David never sought to be revenged
on him. He. did not glory in the death
of Saul and Jonathan, although it did
mean kingship for him. He prayed to
God for guidance and when found, 1t
was followed. We can lear patience
through seeming .adversityj Feeling
that God reigns and is on our side ii
we are faithful to Him.
