SCREENED PORCH is DELIGHT
Such an Adjunct to Farmhouse May
Be Used as an Outdoor Dining
Room and as Sitting Room.

The screened porch opening into the
kitchen and overlooking the flower
garden, which every woman loves and
should take time to enjoy, is one Of
the delights that is coming for every
farm wife. This porch may be used
all summer for the outdoor dining
room and for sitting room, too. if
there is not another porch, (also
screeneD on the other side of the
house.
This porch with its view of the love
ly garden and shrubhery is a delight
from early spring when the first plum
and cherry blossoms come, to the time
of late autumn flowers. Why should
the view which is seen SO often from
early dawn till dewy eve be n chicken
coop or a pigpen?
Chicken coops, pigpens and barn
yards are Indispensable out why not
arrange to have the often unsightly
spots screened by shrubs? The beau
tiful elder grows in profusion nearly
everywhere and there is no expensive
shrub bought in a nursery which has
more grace and beauty. 1t grows
easily and spreads SO that in few
years one may have lovely back
ground for the garden in front. 1t
is doubtful il the psalmist could have
written so charmingly if he had not
been able ito lift his eyes to the
hills, whence cometh my help"
The expense of screening porch
is an item that must be considered
and yet where the man of the house
is at all handy with tools 1t may be
done with little expense outside of
the cost of lumber, screens and paint.
The amount of comfort enjoyed by
the family on such porch cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents.
In ordinary seasons it may be used
for an outdoor dining room, and sleep
ing porch for baby from four to six
months of the year. What home con-
venience at the same cost would be
the comfort to the entire family?

Community Effort Not New.

Words come into fashion and 60 out
again. much like clothes. Just now
the word community" is very much
In vogue. We hear about community
singing societies, community forums,
community celebrations and commu-
nifty projects Of all sorts. Most of these
are highly cOmmendable.
One reaction, though, of the frequent
use of this word is to spread the idea
that all this community enterprise is
something new. Everything we have
done is by way Of community effort. II
Is wholesome thing to pause, some
times, and remember that everything
we do is a community thing. In the
final analysis there is no such thing
as q "self-made man." The Germans
have grown to understand this more
than we have; hence many of theiI
finest achievements In cooperation.

Use Of Stratified Trees,

The trees of stratified growth,
shelves, verticels, whorls or whatever
you may call these peculiarities, are
not to be indiscriminately planted.
Nearly all the araucarias and many
frs and spruces have this growth.
These may be used where the lines OF
buildings near by or in the background.
are mainly horizontal, for then har-
mony prevails. A billy or cliff back
ground showing terraces or stratified
outcropping Of rocks would also har-
monize with such trees, as would broad
sketches Of plains, but rounded hill
and undulating mountain range do not
invite such trees. Sharp and jagged
peaks. however, would admit of such,
especially those Of spirelike tips.

relatives. He begged them to re-
main to supper, and when they re-
fused, he took his wife and the child
rem to a restaurant for supper. Up

NEW METHODS BRING SAVING
Application Of Business Principles by
Town Manager Finds Favor In
Massachusetts Community.

George F. Willett Of Norwood,
Mass, gave talk On the business
manager form of government for towns
and cities at a meeting of the Boston
Art club recently. He showed how the
scientific and efficient business prin-
ciples of q well-managed and conduct
ed corporation can be applied to the
public expenditures. This system in
Norwood, he said, has resulted in a
more democratic form of government
and brought about a substantial saw
ing in the expenditures of the town.
The average citizen gets better
knowledge of affairs under that sys-
TEN. he said.
Norwood has an unpaid commission
of five men. They determine the poll
cies of the town, and paid experts I'M
der the leadership of professional
town manager carry them out after
the citizens have passed upon them.
1t is not leadership under one man or
despotic form of government, but
the intelligent response of American
democracy to it's responsibilities.
In the crisis this country is now fac
ing the speaker s.l1d that the business
men are rushing forward to offer their
services to help the government carry
on a war as efficiently as possible. II
the business men would only display
the same interest in the ordinary af'
fairs Of state, he declared, millions OF
dollars would be saved yearly by the
application of their business knowl
edge to the affairs of towns, cities ant
states.
