Parks for All the PEOPLE.

The parks belong to all the people
and should be SO conducted that all will
feel that a genuine welcome and vari-
ETY. of entertainment, comfort and
pleasure await them in every park.
They should be made so attractive to
the general %populace that hundreds
will flock there to where % the indi-
vidual "focks" in loneliness. Some
parks are planned and planted as
though they possessed an attitude, one
of extreme auSterity, seeking to over
awe the visitor and curb his natural
leXuberance. These cold and uninvit-
ing, inhospitable parks should have in
Productions Of bright flowers, tennis
courts, swings, teeter-boards, sand
boxes, seats, arbors, picnic grounds,
music, ETC., and thereby become at
tractive to their owners-the public

Cooperation in Planning.

IF one town succeeds in relocating
;or depressing or elevating a railroad,
the adjacent towns have to plan to
conform. If q railroad station is To-
Gated near the border Of q town the
nearby streets and a lines in the
next town are altered to fit. A good
park on the edge of one community
ihas q strong influence on the park sit
iuation Of the adjacent community.
Bad housing Gust over the line" brings
up serious planning problems. Differ
ent planning laws and restrictions in
towns which border on one another
give rise to all sorts Of complications
,and unfairness. Of two towns side by
side, where one is conscientiously in
!terested in the appearance Of it's
streets and buildings and the other is
not, the latter soon finds itself at q
considerable disadvantage. Everything
is to be gained by cooperation in plan
ming. Waste is bound to ensue with
out it.

UGLY POINTS MAY BE HIDDEN
Permanent Fixtures, Such as Fence
and Clothes Posts, Should Be
Made Things of Beauty.

The most noticeable permanent fea-
lures of the backyard, which is the
usual place for the city garden, are
the fence and the clothes posts. They
remain grim and uncompromising,
while shrubs flourish and flowers
bloom and after the leaves have with
cred and fallen.
The garden magazines advise mass
ing shrubs on the fences, letting vines
climb the clothes posts or stringing
wire netting for nasturtiums to climb
upon. This is we'll in summer, but
when TIE leaves have fallen and the
naked fence is again exposed, the
dragging vines blow in the wind, and
netting and all fall in an uncomely
heap together unless the careful gar
!dener removes them. At any rate the
fence and the posts can only be COW
Iered with foliage and bloom during q
short period.
The solution of the difficulty then
lis to make the Hence and posts, the
ugly and permanent features, things
of beauty. A fence may be made of
such a pattern as not to be offensive
ITO the eye, and if it is possible to have
lit of brick or stone it need not be a
support for vines unless n desires
BIT
The posts, too, may be placed in
unconspicuous positions. They may be
painted green, a soft color, harmonic
ling well with grass, vines and flow
ers.
These two difficulties disposed of.
lone may begin the planning Of the
backyard city garden with confidence.

Usinu Walls and Fences.

More use should be made Of walls
and fences in small gardens. 1t is not
always necessary that either n
mental or fruiting plants should be in
the open or clear of structures. Not
alone ornamental vines, but also fruit
ing vines and shrubs may be trained
in fan shape or flat against walls o '.
cred with mesh wire. Used in this
way even melon and cucumber vines
become ornamental and do splendid
service as short-season screens.

Relinion in France,

There is no state religion in France, hut the adherenas of any church or creed can hold their religious belief and observe their religious practices. Under the law promulgated on Decem- Der 2. 1005, the church were Sepa- rated from the state. the adherents of all creeds were authorized to form associations for public workship, and the state, the departments and the the state, the departmets and the eommuneS. were relieved from pay ment of salaries to clergymen. For clergymcn of forty-tive years of age. pensions were provided. Buildings used for public worship were made over to associations for public wor- ship. The association law of July 1, 1910l. requires religious communities to be authorized by the state. and no monastic association can be authorized without a special law In each particu- lar case Before the passing of that law there were 910 recognized aSsoci- ationS. and 753 not recognized. After the passing of the law, of the 753 not recognized. 305 dissolved themselves. and 44S asked for authorization which was refused by the chambers, or par lament. to the majority of them.

LOUIS SAWYER TO ADVISE ARK. ANSANS IN PURCHASING OF
 LIVE STOCK.
STATE UNIVERSITY ASSISTS
Mir Lasseter Said lie Considered Sending Mir. Sawyer To Fort Worth As Valuable Service as Could
 Be Rendered At This Time.
Fayetteville


 Because of the great number of Ark ansas stock men who are going to Fort Worth, Texas, to buy cattle from the droulh-stricken districts of Texas. Louis Sawyer, field man in beef cat. tie production of the University t.X- tension Division, has been sent . Fort Worth 10 remain two or three weeks. His duties there will be 70 advise Arkansas farmers who have come to buy cattle.
 This announcement was made by w. C. Lasseter, director of the Ex- tension Division. MT. Sawyer already Is in Fort Worth
 50 many thousands of Texas eat tie have been brought to Arkansas within the last month and so many Arkansas st3cltmen have signihed their intentions of buying cattle there that this move was decided upon said MT. Lasseter Many of thYse stockmen would like to have advice n buying their cattle and am sure that they could consult no better man than
 
 see anyone who intends 10 buy cattle. We consider the sending of Mir. Sawyer to Fort Worth as valuable d service as we could render to tho state at this time. The great number of high-grade cattle that is being brought to Arkansas from Texas must be very gratifying to everyone who has the agricultural interests of the state at heart. Deplorab1e as it is. that the Texas stockmen are forced to hurry these lean cattle on the mar ket. yet their misfortune has enabled the live stock industry in Arkansas 10 make progress that would have re. quired many years under ordinary conditions"

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also Applied to ScoundreIs and
 the War.

Forestry experts in New York, state which has given much conserv- Ing attention to its wealth In trees, urge farmers to help the country meet the high cost of fuel by making more use of the dead and dying timber in their wood lots. They are advised to burn in their stoves and grates the fallen logs still sound enough to be converted into fire wood and to cut down and utilize crooked trees obvi- ously foredoomed to worthlesSness as timber, no matter how long they may be allowed to stand.
 This is good advice, and there Is human moral in the crooked stick part of 1t, says an exchange. The same stress of war times, which led to the appeal issued to New York farmers in sitting out crooked men. Some ras- calls will profit by war conditions, but in the broad view of the nations af- fairs the sound and straight will come to the front The country can't take chances with scoundrels. It must cut crooked sticks out of the lite-and- death work of the war, in places Of authority.
