The Democrat who lets himself
be enveigled or traded into voting
for Lucien Rhodes for Cnngress. will
sooner or later see that he has been
played for a sucker. Mr.. Sims
has never failed in his votes for
farmers or the laboring people gen.

strongest men in the Congress Of the
United States--then why should
any Democrat allow himself to be
made a catspaw to pull Republican

PROPER PLANNING OF CITIES
Method Has a Deeper Significance
Than the Mere Laying Out of HUI
man Dwelling Places.

II am very glad to hear that among
the objects of the American Civic as
ISOLATION is that of getting rid of the
impression that city planning has
mainly to do with the large cities of
hundreds of thousands of inhabitants,
and indeed that is not solely concerned
with these cities, but that one Of the
main functions of city planning is to
deal with the small town and even
with the small village community so
said Mr.. Thomas Adams, the we'll
known English town planning expert,
now civic adviser to the commission of
conservation of Canada, in opening an
address at the convention of the Amer
lean Civic association on the subject,
1.-THE Economic Basis of City Plan
ming"
Continuing, Mr.. Adams said: "Town
planning does not deal with the beau
LITIGATION of the town but town plan
ming, I should rather like to put it.,
includes the establishment of the eX-
ternal features of the town both in
regard to it's public buildings and in
regard to it's transportation. But these
matters are only part Of what should
be properly regarded as city planning.
And when We come to analyze the
fundamental things in city life we find
that really we ought not to begin with
the establishment or with the beauti-
full in the city, but that after the route
of civil life, the.two things that matter
are the Industrial and the residential !;
are the factories and home life. You
want not only to look forward for the
text thirty, forty, or fifty years in re-
gard to your park systems, but you
yant to make sure that in the next
forty, fifty or sixty years every per-
son who builds new home will be Sc
cured against disease which may be
created by anything that can be pre-
vented. You want to make sure that
the conditions shall be healthy in re-
gard to housing as well as in regard
to the general civic aspect of the city,"

they are taking grain and roughagc
to their full capacity. Cattle cannot
90 on to full feed suddenly, for they
cannot adjust themselves hurriedly TO
a change in diet. They must therefore
be worked up to full feed gradually,
and so be accustomed to the ration.
This period is often known as the
warming up" period, and lasts from
two to six weeks, depending upon
whether the cattle have ever been ac-
customed to any grain. Since this is
a filling-up process, cattle get on tt
full feed somewhat more rapidly when
fed on a ration made up largely of
roughage material, and not q great
deal of grain. Too much grain at the
beginning will likely lead to digestive
disturbances from which the cattle re-
cover only slowly. Moreover, the cattle
are later more subject to such attacks.
A larger proportion Of steers are
short fed than formerly, principally
because the working margin Is mar
rover and the market does not make
enough difference in price for the de-
gree of finish put upon the cattle to
warrant the longer period. Cheaper
and larger daily gains can be made
during the short period than during
the long period, because, since the ra-
ton can be made heavier and the steer
forced more rapidly, he will not waste
so much of the ration.

For City improvements.

The College of Forestry connected
with Syracuse university has exam
med and outlined methods of improve
ment for public shade trees in 26
cities and towns in the state of New
York. 1t has been found that in the
cities there are 10000 miles of streets
of a character capable of sustaining a
growth of 100000 shade trees which
can be made worth S10O,000,000 in in
creased property value. Buffalo is
thoroughly alive to the possibilities of
the situation and spends annually
about $4,000 for the planting and
conservation of shade trees along Its
public streets.

IS RIGHT TO ANNOY SACRED?
How Jersey City Courts, by a Recent
Decision, Allow Property Owners
to Exalt Uglness.

The sacred right of the property
holder to make himself a public nui-
sance is reaffirmed by the decision of
the New Jersey supreme court, says
the New York Tribune. 1t appears
that this right was menaced by a stat
ute which made it unlawful to dis
figure with advertisements the PAIL
sades along the Hudson. The statute
is found to be unconstitutional on the
ground that the legislator may deprive
the owner of the right to use his land
for such purpose only when the signs
are q menace to public health or NOR
ais.
This kind Of individual liberty Is
one of the unfortunate limitations I'M
der which our whole system labors.
The public has other interests to con-
serve besides those of health, safety
and morality. 1t Is a mark of indif-
ference to beauty bordering on barbar-
ism that esthetic considerations re-
ceive so little recognition in the eye
of the law. The zealousness with which
the courts are bound to protect the in
dividual in the use of that which is his
own permits the defacing of our scenes
of natural beauty with every conceiv-
able form of hideousness.
Something more than right Of
property is invaded when one indi-
vidual may ruin for millions of people
the beauty of a piece of natures handi-
work.

years of hard work, the night came on
which Jimmy saw his name embuZ-
oned in lights above the door of the
Star theater, his thoughts went back
to that night in his past when 'pre-
paredness" had enabled him to seize
the opportunity knocking at his door.

Don'ts for Homebuilders.

IF you want to prevent trouble and
Inconvenience after you have moved
into the new home, observe these
"don'ts" while building:
Don't cut down any trees on the
building site until you are ready to be-
gin building, and then only enough to
provide room for the house. This pre-
vents unnecessary sacrifice, and after
the house has been lived in for a
while, one can easily determine what
others must go.
Don't, with white interior trim,
have other than quartered white oak
floors.
Don't when finishing the interior Of
the new house be unmindful of the
quality of the paint used thereon.
Paint serves two ends, it protects and
improves the appearance of the house,
and the one ingredient in its compost
ton necessary to the fulfilment of this
purpose is zinc.

Summers Sure Sign.

"Tnere are various ways by which
we can tell with more or less certain
ty when summer has come" said
Mr. Naturalization. ''You can tell
IN some degree by the weather and
the temperature. You can tell I'D
some measure by the clothes you see
people wearing and by the advertise
ments of summer resorts in the news
papers. In seasons such as the pres
ent you can even tell something about
when 1t ought to be here by consult
ing the almanac. But, after all, in any
season. the one sure sign that summer
has actually come is found in that one,
single, solitary fly that comes in to
wake you up ahead of time in the
morning" ---.

Persian Easy to Learn.

A new interest in Persia which the
war has awakened may tempt some of
US to become acquainted with the Ian
guage Of the country. We need not be
afraid Of making the attempt, for Per-
sian shares with English the reputa-
ton of being q singularly easy Ian
guage to learn, the chief trouble being
that it is written in the Arabic char
acters.
1t had, however, at one time three
numbers and eight cases, and the
Avesta, the chief book Of the zoroas-
trians, is only to be understood by the
ripe scholar. But modern Persian has
no cases, no declensions and no gen
ders, and may therefore, be mastered
without tears and without the appli'
cation of wet towels to the head.

HORSES FINDING MOST FAVOR
Greatest Weakness in Industry Is
Production of Too Many Gen.
eraI Purpose Animals.

The farmer who seeks to find favor
among the horse buyers of today must
produce an animal that Is especially
adapted to some particular kind of
work. He must be a special-purpose
horse, must possess the ability to do
some one kind Of work so exception
ally well, by reason of his conforma-
ton, that he is out Of place at any
thing else.
Perhaps the greatest weakness in
the horse-breeding industry Is the pro-
duction of too many general purpose
horses. This kind Of animal, while
not especially adapted to any one kind
of work, will do fairly well almost any
kind of work, yet from the market
standpoint he is not q profitable ami
NAL to breed. The special-purpose
animal, while not costing any more to
feed and raise, will sell in most cases
for much higher price.

NORTH AND SOUTH HIGHWAY

By P. [. ATHERTON, President of

highway, as memorial to the charac.
ter and achievement of Andrew Jack.
son was first conceived about 1910 by
the Daughters of 1912, an organiza,
ton of patriotic representative south.
ern women.
AS first outlined, the scheme was to
perfect highway leading from Chi.
cago to New Orleans. More or less
missionary work was done along the
proposed line of the road by the Jack.
son highway committee of the Daugh-
tiers of 1872, Of which committee Miss
Alma Rittenberry of Birmingham, Ala,
was chairman, but no definite form
was given to the organization until in
July, 1915, at meeting in Birming
ham, Ala.
At this meeting temporary organi
zation was formed, consisting of men
interested in good roads from Indiana.
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana. 1t was further
determined at this meeting that the
Jackson highway should run from Chi
cago on the northwest to Louisville,
KY, and from Niagara Falls on the
northeast to the same point, the two
divisions here joining and continuing
southwark through Nashville to New
Orleans.
A few weeks later the Jackson High.
way association convention, for the
purpose of forming permanent or.
ganization and of formally launching
the whole movement, was held in
Nashville, Tenn. The permanent or.
ganization was effected at this conven-
ton.
In the rapid development of the
good roads movement in the last five
years various local road organizations
have been formed in the states through
which the Jackson highway runs, anG
a great deal Of valuable work dom
in improving roads controlled by these
organizations. The Jackson highway
completed, will be largely the welding
together of road systems developed by
these smaller associations, making a
continuous north and south highway
between Chicago on the northwest
Buffalo on the northeast, and New Or
leans on the south.
At the present time about nine
tenths of the road in Indiana and Ken
lucky is in very good condition; in
Tennessee about three-fourths of the

The "NeIson Touch"

Who invented the phrase the "Nel-

again in connection with the North

that it probably originated in Nelson's
family circle at Merton, and the first
frequent use of it occurred in the great
seaman's correspondence with Lady
Hamilton, as where, writing just be-
fore reaching the fleet, he remarked:
