WHEN LAYING OUT A CITY
Proper Planning, by Adding to Its Ap-
pearance, Bound to Bring Desir-
able Financial Results.

Are we. laying out, for instance, q
new suburb? Is it not better and more
businesslike, and more likely to pro-
duce adequate financial results if we
determine beforehand which of the
streets are likely to become great traf-
fic thoroughfares and to give them am
pie width of broad macadam of paved
surface, providing only in the resi-
Dental streets sufficient paved surface
to allow two tradesmen's carts to pass.
and laying down the remainder in trees.
and grass, in a way which will save
the rate-payers large sums and at the
same time make the street or boule-
ward a more desirable place in which to
live?
Such instances could be multiplied
a t~housandfold. The results, so far of
practical city planning will convince
anyone that the scope, influence and
finance of city planning are so much
q subject for the earnest consideration
of every man who is a good citizen and
loves his city and his fellow citizens,
that none can afford to neglect it. Nay,
more than this, any city which does
neglect this great subject, cannot hope
to continue in these go-ahead days, to
compete with other cities and towns
which are wide awake to take full
advantage of the opportunities for ad-
vancement and betterment which it

COMBINING CITY AND COUNTY
BY Cutting Expenses There Would Be
More Money to Spend on Public
Improvements.

. Mayor Campbell of Houston has
started a discussion of a proposal to
combine city and county governments.
and eliminate one set of officers. The
writer advocated that several years
ago, but plans to reduce the expense
of government were not then as much
in favor as plans to increase it.
There is no sound reason why a
commissioners court and a city COM
mission should both be required for
Legislative service, nor is there any
apparent need for the double service
of a city and a county police force.
Many other Implications could be sug-
gested equally wasteful.
The city and county of st. Louis
are identical. New York and London
r under the same single system of
that the plan will not fit a city.
The truth is that the American sys-
TEN seems to be based on a demand
that provision shall be made for every
man to hold an Office who wants one.
1t has multiplied offices to a degree
unknown in any other country. and
has, as a result, driven the cost of gov
eminent to a figure which exceeds
that of any other country in the world.
If the military branch is excluded
from the comparison.-Waco (Tex.)

Novel Eqq-BoiIer.

Every American household likes its
boiled eggs at breakfast. but nobody
enjoys cooking them However. some
sclf-sacrificing member of the family
must always jump up and leave his
own food to cool while, watch in hand,
he concentrates over the boiling proc
ess. Now a device has been invented
which will change all this. 1t is an
egg-shaped hot water bottle, suspend
ed over an alcohol lamp, one section
Of which contains just enough alcohol
TO boil an egg hard and the other just
enough to boil it soft. The eggs are
placed IN an egg rack, which fits into
the kettle of hot water and the lamp
Is lighted. That Is all that is neces-
sary. The alcohol does the rest. ac-
cording to which section of the lamp
is burning. When the eggs are done
the flame goes out.

There is hardly any other vegetable
of which every part can be brought to
such good account. The trimmings
can be used for f1avoring purposes, or
for soup and broth, while the seeds are

DwindIing Wool Supply.

War and e%mbargoes are making tex
tile men uneasy as to the wool sup
ply. World demand is increasing
while the supply is growing less. Our
oWn needs are twice what we raise
and the chasm between domestic sup
ply and demand is widening. Our pro-
duction is less today than % years
ago, While the population has in
creased 60 per cent. The difference
between what we produce and what
We use must he made up by imports,
with the world bidding against us.
The British embargo on wool shows
how %precarious is u position. Yet,
in peace and in war. wool is an abso-
lutte necessity. Several years ago when
alarm was taken at the declining beef
supply many felt that the situation
could not be remedied. But today cat
tie are increasing in the United States.
More sheep and wool a be raised al
so If proper attention be given the
industry.

PROVIDE BIG FOOD CROP
world Scarcity of Food Stuff Should
prompt Southern Farmers to Pro-
vIde All Food at Home.

baltimore, Md.-Whether there be
war or peace between this country and
germany, whether war be continued
III Europe for another year or two. or
"hether peace should come, the de-
mand for foodstuffs will exceed the
supply, both in this country and
abroad. The shortage in the worlds
ioou crops last year, taken in connec-
ton with conditions created by the
war brings us nearer to a famine sit
uat1on in foodstuffs than the world has
known in this generation. II the crops
OF the country should, by unfavorable
weather conditions or by a lessened
acreage, be short or a full average
yield, we would have almost famine
conditions, because we will go into the
mex crop practically barren of food
supplies.
Nothing less than a bumper crop Of
gram will save us from exorbitantly
nigh prices for wheat and corn next
winter. 1t is important that the whole
country should understand this situa.
ton, but it is d,ubly important that
the farmers of the South should under.
stand it and plant the largest acreage
IN grain which they have ever had in
order to save themselves from having
to pay the Highest prices they have
ever paid for their foodstuffs.
Every business MAI in the south
should do all in his power to urge
upon southern farmers the planting Of
grain and the raising of foodstuffs Of
all kinds this spring and summer.
1t is hardly possible to predict what
may happen to cotton. The price
judged by the worlds demand, ought
to be high, but in view of the uncer
tainties of conditions here and else
where, a large cotton crop might
prove a misfortune by forcing prices
below a fair profit.
The south might raise too big a cot
ton crop for ats own prosperity, but il
cannot raise too big a grain crop mol
too much livestock. Every available
acre should be put INFO the raising .!
foodstuffs, into grain, into vegetables
potatoes, and as much attention as
possible should be given to livestock
and even to the raising of chickens
and to dairying, for the purpose O.
meeting the home demand for food
stuffs.
1t will be almost a crime for any
southern farmer not to provide, durin.
the coming spring and summer. for al
of the foodstuffs which his family viii
need for the next twelve months. Any
thing short of that would be ignorins
every condition which this country
and the world cCnfronts in the lack o
foodstuffs, and in the certainty of higl
prices. Business men, state govern
ments and the national government
owe it to the farmers and to the vel
fare o. the country to stress these
points with all possibl. emphasi;
The south "a become independent fol
foodstuffs by quick and vigorous act
ion this spring and summer by it:

dollars for high-priced foodstuffs
which should have been raised n
