HAVE TOP SASH SCREENED
May Be Considered Small Matter, But
10 Always Advlsable-Advlee for
Prospective Builder.

Don't forget that you may at some
time want to open the top sash OF the
window, and that flies and mosquitoes
are not particular as to through which
sash they enter; therefore have the
screen run from top to bottom OF the
window; to do this, side springs will
be necessary in the screen frames, but
they will cost little more than a screen
which can be used only from the bot
tom sash and which Is little better
than no screen at all.
Don't forget that there will never be
q better time to build than the pres
ent; materials Of all kinds are cheap
or than they have been for several
years, and as soon as the European
war Is over there is sure to be q sharp
advance in prices.
Don't say you can't build now be-
cause you have not enough money; II
you have q little, the cooperative
banks and building associations will
loan you the balance needed upon
terms under which you a pay for the
house in monthly installments which
would be no more than you would or
dinarily be paying for rent.-Ex

The CITY Beautiful, 4

A one-time mayor of New York,
George B. Mcclellan, said: IN a
self-governing community. the ul-
innate object of the government is the
happiness of the governed. Something
more is needed to make the happy
city than health and. 0ealth and wis
dom. The city healthy, the city
wealthy, and the city wise, may excite
satisfaction, complaisance and pride,
but it Is the city beautiful that COM
pels and retains the love of people"
When last the tree men Of the South

of the famous Glenwood Mission inn,
an Illuminated sign stretched across
the stage, which read: Make your
city beautiful and you will learn to
love It,"

BEST QUALITY OF PRODUCTS
Often Happens That the Producer Of
Good Dairy Articles Does Not
Find Ready Market.

(By J. CADWALLADER, Louisiana Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Quality is the keynote to the sue,
cessful marketing Of dairy products.
People always have and always will
pay a premium for quality, therefore
it Is useless to expect to market dairy
products successfully unless those
products are Of better quality than the
average. Unfortunately 1t often hap
pens that producers Of good dairy
produce do not always find a good
market, but this d,es not signify that
there Is not a demand for the product
at a good price, but simply means a
lack Of business ability on the part Of
the farmer In securing a good market.
He, too, often depends upon his home
town or upon his immediate commu.
nifty for a market for his products and
Is too often satisfied TO sell to the
middleman and the grocery store. :
In this day of the parcel post even
perishable products can be sent great
distances for a few cents, making 1t
possible to sell such products as but
ter, cheese, etc, direct from the farm
to the consumer. There are hundreds
Of people in u towns and cities who
would be only too glad to get dairy
products direct from the farmer If the
farmers who have these products for
sale would insure them good uniform
products.
Ordinarily a grocery store receives
anywhere from 5 to 7 cents for ham
ding a pound Of butter, butter which
Is made from cream that is even in.
ferior to that from which the farmer
made his butter which he sold to the
grocer. Why doesn't the farmer keey

PROPER CARE OF THE LAWN
Grass Plat Must Never Be Neglected
II Homo Is to Have a Proper
Appearances.

One Of the most important duties
on the home place during the summer
is the care Of the lawn. There Is
nothing about a place that makes SO
much for general attractiveness as a
well cared for lawn.
Many people make the mistake OF
keeping the lawn cut too close. In
that case the grass roots are exposed
to hot sun and drying winds during
the summer. Cut the lawn frequently,
but do not set the machine too close.
To keep the lawn looking clean at all
times have a gr~ass-catcher attachment
on the mower A careful watch for
weeds on the lawn should be kept.
Cut them out we'll below the surface
with an old knife as soon as they are
large enough to be seen.
A roller on the lawn Is advisable,
but 1t should be used with care.
Lawns that have been rolled for . long
time are likely to become over-rolled;
there Is surface cohesion or close
packing of the top soil, which prevents
the admission of air and healthy root
development. The remedy is the use
of the spiked tamper. A homemade
one may be made by taking a piece OF
two-inch plank, some 12x12-inch tim
Der and inserting four-inch spikes an
inch and a half or two inches apart
Bore holes a little smaller than the
spikes before driving them in, to pre-
vent splitting the wood. Perforate

The COW testing association Is a
plan of cooperation among dairymen
for the purpose Of regularly and eco

U. S. Supreme Court Annulls
Arizona Eighty Per Cent Low

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The su-

known as the eighty per cent law
The law, which was initiated a year
ago and adopted by the people at the
November election, was held uncon-
stitutional by the ninth federal dis
trict court of appeals, and the su-
preme court today sustained the de-
cision of that court
The law provided that employers
of more than five persons must en-
ploy not less than 80 per cent quail
fled electors or citizens. Mike Riach,
cook in a Bisbee restaurant on be-
ing notified that he would be dis
charged, brought suit against his en-
ployer to restrain him from comply :
ing with the law. The case was
taken to the highest tribunal, which
has just declared the law unconstitu-
tional. Because of it's similarity to
some of the anti Japanese legislation
in California, the case attracted
country wide attention. Justice Nc
Reynolds dissented on the ground
that the suit to enjoin the enforce
ment of the law was barred by the
constitution because it was against
the state.
In his opinion, Justice Hughes of
the supreme court says:
1T is sought to justify the act as
an exercise of the power of a state
to make reasonable classifications and
legislation to promote the health,
safety, morals and welfare of those
within its jurisdiction. This admitted
authority, with the broad range of
legislative authority which it implies,
cannot be made to go SO far as to
make it impossible for the state to
deny to its lawful inhabitants, be-
cause of their race or nationality, the
ordinary means of earning liveli-
hood.
