Growing Street Trees.

Trees grown for street or highway
planting. especially the deciduous
species and varieties, should be grown
for two or three years in the nursery
and transplanted once each year, root
pruned and top-pruned at each moving.
This treatment will induce vigorous
and well-distributed root system of q
great number of feeding fibers in q
small area. The side shoots on the stem
should be removed to a height of six or
seven feet carefully trimming the
trunk so scars will heal over smooth.
The earlier these are removed the
quicker will the recovery be and the
smoother the tree trunk. Trees SO
treated will at three years Of age be
ten to fifteen feet high with diameter
of at least two inches at the base.
Trees so grown will quickly adjust
themselves to new positions and after
the first year prove quite resourceful II
left to themselves without special care
IL in favorable locations.

Misuse Of Vines.

The mission of the vine is not to
smother and obscure the beauty Of
architecture, but to embellish 1t light
ly, with delicate, almost fragile
touch; to relieve the harsh monOton-
Gus lines too often present. Vines
lose their beauty as they lose all
chance Of contrast with architecture
over which they Chamber. Buildings
and other man-made things are un-
changing; vines are constantly chang
ing. The beauty of contrast is great
est while the first-present is still DOM
inant. When the building or other
object is half covered with vines the
charm and beauty Of contrast is on
the wane. There is. in addition, an
air of desolation and neglect about
any object entirely or even nearly COW
cred with vines. 1t suggests abandon
ment by man to the gradual annihila-
ton by the forces of nature, the con-
temptation Of which is unpleasant. II
Is the duty of man to subdue nature
ere this coarse overgrowth becomes
too pronounced. Preserve the delicate,
clinging mantle of the vine.'

AGAINST THE WOODEN FENCE.
New York Society Seeks to Substitute
Wire for Boards Around Yards
of Tenement Houses.

Wooden fences. such as mark off
yards in the rear of most tenement
houses, have been condemned by the
tenement house committee of the
Charity Organization Society of New
York. Long dreary rows of hideous
board fences, which invite fire and the
accumulation of rubbish" must go
and in their place be substituted by
open wire fences, the committee de-
clares.
Every owner of an apartment or
tenement house, every builder and
architect will be called upon in this
campaign. 1t is the purpose to wage
a crusade for several months, investi-
gators being convinced that the open
wire fence will do much to provide
more attractive and sanitary rear
yards through the city.
"A constant fire danger, an excellent
hiding place for thieves, an encour.
agement to the accumulation of rub.
bish, quickly weatherworn and trans
formed into an eyesore, the board
fence makes tenement yards worse
than useless.
children find them unattractive tt

| Fairgrounds for children, will encour

ment yards should do more to soly
the problem of providing play spac
for children than any movement ths
has been undertaken in years."

DIFFERENCE IN SONS.

A business man was approached one
day by a saloonkeeper who asked If
he had a position in which he could
place his (the saloonkeeper's) son.
The two men had been lifelong
friends. The business man hesitated
a moment and the saloon man quickly
followed up his request with this state
ment:
II know he was a little bit wild
and reckless for a time, and 1t is my
fault, because of the business am IN.
/ think l have him Strengthened out
now, and want to place him outside
of and away from the saloon and put
1t up to him to make good in a respec-
table line of business"
The business man promised to give
the young man a chance at the first
opportunity. His friend thanked him,
and then went back to his saloon, put
on his white apron and was ready for
the sons of other fathers as they
might drop into his place, to sell them
his beer and his whisky and give them
their start or help them on their way
down the grade to the state of incom-
petents and undesirables.

AtN6 EASAhA~a ANe
The Gothenburg Independent, a
weekly paper published in Nebraska,
wrote to the editor Of the Denver Bull
letin Official organ Of union labor in
ColOrado) asking about the effect of
prohibition as it affects the working
people Of that state. The following
reply was received:
1.-THE law in nine months has work
ed a wonderful revolution for good;
and at least rs per cent of the union
voters who were against the amend
ment would support it now, The wage
earners have ceased to spend their
money for booze, and are buying bread
and clothing for their families. l
would say on the whole the condition
Of Colorado working people is at least
30 per cent better as a result of state
wide prohibition, and the city of Den.
yer is a great deal more prosperous.
All the storerooms vacated by saloons
are now occupied by legitimate enter
prlses, and the citizens only wonder
why they tolerated the booze joints as
long as they did. The increase in saw
ings deposits has been remarkable,
and merchants report collections from
40 to 60 per cent better.
"Take the Bulletin as concrete lie
lustratiOn. 1t was prophesied by our
wet friends that labor paper couldn't
exist in a dry town. We lost about
fifty dollars a month in liquor adver-
Using, and some $50 bartenders and
brewery worker subscribers. Today,
we are doing four times the advertis-
ing business, and have five times as
many subscribers as when Denver had
$50 saloons and FIVE breweries In OPP
Grafton. Besides, the subscribers and
advertisers pay their bills much more
promptly"

NOT ENOUGH PRIsoNERsl

Two Of the questions which are vex'
ing the minds of residents Of Birming-
ham, Ala, are what to do with the
handsome new 100000 prison which
after II months of prohibition is prac-
tically empty, and how to keep the city
streets clean when the number of
prisoners has fallen off so materially
that there are not nearly enough men
to do this work. The larger number
of arrests now are for speeding and
illegal sale Of alcohol. The arrests for
speeding are not due to joy riding, but
to the increased number of automo-
biles, another evidence Of the city's
prosperity under prohibition.
