PLANTS GIVE LIVING TOUCH
House Cannot Be Called Complete
Without Their Presence, 10
Opinion of Expert

However attractive a house may be
made by the architect and builder, says
Realty, it is at best incomplete without
the living touch contributed by the adj
dition of q few plants. These, when
properly arranged with a due regard
to form. size and color, contribute
greatly to the attraction of the house
and give 1t at once the "homey' ap-
pearance and consequently a greater
selling value. There Is nothing that
will carry u more forcible appeal to the
homeseeker than a suggestion and
promise Of the beauty which he HIM
self can achieve later.
The practice of improving large
areas by grading, laying walks and
planting trees has long been in vogue
by live real estate men. How much
more definite then is the result when
the effort is focused on an individual
house. Then the cost is small. This
will be at once obvious when a COM
parison is made between the cost Of
the lot, the plans ard the building, and
the almost negligible amount of money
and labor necessary to make the work
complete by imparting to the property
the vitalizing atmosphere that a few
well-selected plants will impart.
1t surely will make a better and
quicker sale.
This work need not be permanent ;
that il to say, attractiveness may be
impaired without great expense. Every
owner will have his own idea about
what he would like and where he would
place it. His taste and pocketbook
might include high-priced shrubbery.
Therefore, the selling proposition
would be just as good if the work were
confined only so far as it would create
temporary effect and throw into relief
the work of the builder.

PLANNERS DID GOOD WORK
Town Of Gary, Ind, Built on Prear'
ranged Design, Is Looked Upon
as a Model City.

Gary, Ind, built in the open on a pre-
arranged plan, generally looked upon
as the most efficiently organized indus
trial city in the world, is still less than
ten years old. The first shacks for its
construction gangs were thrown up
in 1906. The founders wished to avoid
the paternalism which had proved so
detrimental to the civic development Of
Pullman, n of the earliest prec0n-
ceived industrial cities of the co1n-
try, without falling to the %haphazard
methods which have bred SO many in
conveniences in all cities Of the past.
The homes for the employees were
built with a proper consideration for
the health and comfort of the occu-
pants. They could be purchased on
easy terms If desired. The parks,
streets, recreation centers and other
adjuncts We're well outlined. The pub
lie schools have been recognized as the
best in the country, as is evidented by
the fact that New York city arranged
for the construction Of u schools after
the Gary pattern. They are to be built
and organized under the supervision Of
the Gary school superintendent.

PLANTING OF TREES A DUTY

Concerted Action.

There should be trees set out along
all highways. The Banner has often
called attention to this needed de-
parture from the beaten track. For
several hundred years the people Of
this country have been trying to get
rid Of trees, but the pioneer days are
gone and there Is need Of not only
overcoming the habit acquired during
these many years Of tree %destitution,
but the habit Of planting and setting
out trees should be encouraged and
inculcated at every opportunity, Trees

highway runs, and bring about a, con.
dition which means gseater develop

to plan the placing Of trees along the

the roadways are not willing to con-

THE SCRUB.

The scrub is an animal that, with all the
brushing you can give him, with all the atten-
ton you can waste upon him, is just an ordinary
|low-bred animal that will never amount to any
thing in particular. The scrub is a thousand
miles from a thoroughbred and is much inferior
to grade stock.
The human family consists in the main of
thoroughbreds, grades and scrubs. And we all do
like to see a man or woman who is really a
thoroughbred. These are the heightened, broad
guaged sort that you can trust all the way
through. They are people who are your real
friends; they will help you along with the
heavy load. The %grade" stock in all stock are
the cross between the thoroughbred and the
scrub. They are liable to slip the halter when
you are not looking. In other words they will
remain friendly with you as long as you can see
that they are securely hitched. The grade is liza
BILE to come off color at the inopportune time.
But the scrub in the human family is just an
ornery cuss that no one can trust, He will help
you to make away with your forage; he will use
your stall to protect himself from the winters
blasts and will receive gladly every thing of yours
that comes his way. But when you need him
when you are hard-pressed and want some help;
when difficulties come your way, then it is the
scrub is gone. The unfortunate part Of all is that
we have so many scrubs in the world.

SHOULD BEGIN WAR
TO KILL OFF RATS
State EntOmologists Says ExteTmina-
ton OF Rodents VIII Pre-
serve Grain Supply.
News Times Special Service:


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 10
An immediate war should be started
on rats, is the word sent out by
Frank y. Wallace, state entomolo-
gist. They destroy an immense
amount of grain, and in this year of
shortage it is essential that no point
be overlooked whereby the food
supply can be conserved.
Rats usually have three broods a
year. and when food is plentiful,
have 10 or more young in a litter.
Spring traps usually give the best
results, but require frequent scald-
ings to remove the odor. After few
rats are caught in a trap others shun
it. Scalding will overcome this.
Toasted bacon or cheese is the best
bait. but almost anything eatable
will serve.
Arsenic can be mixed with cheese
into a paste and this put on toast,
but care must be used to see that
no children or domestic animals can
get IL. Traps are the safest.
