LAY OUT MORE NUT TREES
Grateful Shade and Pleasing Appear.
anee Well Repay All Efforts to
eeautify the city's Streets.

The planting Of nut trees Is some.
thing that should more generally be un.
dertaken on country and suburban
places. Many Of these trees have q
beautiful habit of growth, will give
good shade and will add to the beauty
Of any grounds. At the same time
they will produce profitable crops Of
nuts which may be q welcome addition
to the family food supply or may ever
become q source of revenue.
The walnut is we'll worth consider
ing by anyone who has any available
land for tree planting. What is termed
the English walnut is beginning to be
more widely appreciated in the United
States. This tree is not q native of
England at all, but of Persia and
farther east. 1t was carried first to
southern Europe, thence to England
and later to America. The nuts seldom
ripen well in England, the season be-
ng too short and not warm enough. The
housewife pickles the unripe nuts.

Government OF a City.

When Henry NJ. Waite, the city
manager of Dayton, o., says that city
will be governed only as well as its
people deserve and desire; that a city
government can be only as nearly ideal
as community can appreciate and
understand, ard that no community
can be properly governed until large
majority of its electorate is prepared
to eliminate politics from its munich
pal affairs and keep them eliminated,
he is simply repeating what has been
said thousands of times and what all
thoughtful city jewellers know to be
true. 1t is not city governments, there
fore, that are primarily blamable for
lax city administration, but, rather,
the people who set up and maintain
city governments on standards lower
than those they observe In their pri-
vate business and in their homes
