f1Of[F TOWN
Helps !
BUILT ALONG MODERN LINES
ample Of How Subdivision May
Be Laid Out to Advantage.

We have recently received circulars
describing one real estate development
now under way which excellently illus.
trates a new stand of the employer.
In this case the manufacturer had a
tract of well-wooded land rising from
a river bank in gentle slope, acquired
at reasonable price several years
ago, and offering every opportunity
for enlightened treatment. Half a CEN
fury ago this would have been de-
faced by the erection of primitive bar
racks overhanging the river, built as
near each other as possible, and run
up into the air as many stories as the
most exhausted employee could man
age to climb at the end of of the days
work. A pestilential eyesore would
have been created to dishearten those
condemned to dwell within it, and to
rebuke the town it defaced.
Under the new dispensation another
motive prevailed. A first-class archi-
tect experienced in town planning was
employed; the acreage available for
the settlement it was desired to found
was studied; street plan basel on
the natural advantages Of the site,
and avoiding the wasteful and ex~
travagant checkerboard system TOO
prevalent in the past, was laid out;
accessibility of the nearby city, the
company's works and the established
centers of public interest was consid-
cred the exposures Of the various lots
received the weight they deserved and
comprehensive plan for the COM
munity was worked out. Art for arts
sake was not encouraged, but art as
an efficient handmaiden of practical
bility had a free hand. MOnotOnous
uniformity of houses was avoided by
notifications Of the standard types
adopted, based on the site chosen for
each structure. Two principal thor
eughfares crossing the tract were
made broad enough for general traffic
the other streets are narrow as to
roadway but well equipped as to tree
planting space, grass plots and side
walks. The common error of attempt
ing to make every residential street
a boulevard was avoided; the not in
frequent mistake of establishing alleys
was not committed. Gingerbread.
mock heroics, the monumental
works" of so many commercial SUBJ
urban communities, were studiously

Yet Another Geddes!

Sir Hedworth Meux, when he asked
in the house of commons recently If
there was not one Jenny Geddes who
threw stool at bishop. doubtless
had in mind a scene which occurred
in st. Giles cathedral, Edinburg, in
1887, when the English Liturgy was in
troduced against the will Of the Scots,
and Jenny, market woman, threw her
stool at the head of the dean-not the
bishop-on his commencing to read the
service. A tablet by the spot commem-
crates her action as that of "a brave
Scotswoman" fighting for liberty

CONSERVE SUPPLY OF FEED
Greatest Economy In Feeding Grain
During War Should Be Prac-
ticed by Dairymen.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricuiture.)
National necessity during the war re-
Quires the greatest economy in the
feeding of grain to live stock. Human
beings must be fed first, yet milk pro-
duction must be maintained. That
does not mean that our dairy cows
should be starved or even that they
should be required to live on half ra-
tons. This is the very time they should
be fed, and well fed, in order to main
tain sufficient supplies of dairy prod
ucts for our own armies and the armies
of our allies, and still have enough for
our civilian population. In order to
feed the dairy herds well, with the min
imum Of grain substitutes must be fur
nished for at least part of the grain.
With good pasture during the entire
summer and with rich corn silage and
f1rst-class legume hay for winter feed
ing, good dairy cows will yield heavy
flow of milk at q minimum Of cost.
Glover, alfalfa, cowpea, soy bean, velvet
bean or other legume hay, when fed
with good silage, will maintain a me-
dunn production of milk at a relatively
low cost. Under ordinary farm condi-
tons it is not to be expected that
legume hay will take the place of the
entire grain ration, but if it is substi
tuted in part, large quantities Of grain
will be released for human food.
The first step in bringing this condi-
ton about must be the planting of more
legumes, and the sooner it is done the
better it will be for the individual
dairyman, as well as for his state and
nation. Every dairy farm should pro-
duce, when possible, at least one ton
Of legume hay for each cow on the
place. 's@ ID
Fruits and green vegetables are
canned so as to supply succulent and
palatable foods for the family during
the winter. Succulence is just as es-
sential to cows as to a human being.
The abundant milk flow obtained from
June pasturage probably is due, to
large extent, to the succulence of the
grass. Silage provides succulent feed
during winter when pasturage is not
available. With silage in the ration,
dairy cattle can be kept in the cont-
ton of health common to animals on
pasture. The digestive system of a
cow is we'll suited for the utilization
of large quantities Of green grasses
and other coarse, succulent material.
Silage is palatable, and no other feed
will combine so well with dry hay and
little grain to produce maximum eco
nOmical results.
The preservation Of the mature corn
crop or the saving of one which for
any reason must be harvested before
maturity by placing it in silos is de-
servedly increasing in popularity.
About 40 per cent of the total food ma
terial in the corn plant Is in the stalks
and leaves. When only the ears are
harvested nearly one-half of the crop
Is lost; on the other hand, when the
crop is put into the silo the losses are
very small.
No feed crops can be so successfully
harvested under such widely varying
conditions as those that are put into
the silo. Only in case of drought or
frost is it necessary to rush the filling
of the silo; rain or dew ON the forage
does not injure the silage.

Rice, who had been fined for boarding

stood before the congregation, ad-
mitted his fault and offered his resig-
nation as deacon in the church and
superintendent of the Sunday school.
Mr.. Rice made no attempt TO pail
late or minimize his offense, simply
stating that after what had occurred
he felt that it was impossible for him
TO continue 70 fill responsible lead

Mr.. Rice has worked in Green

teen years as superintendent Of the
Sunday school, so his action made a
profound impression. There was hard

son moved TO accept his resignation
and everybody felt that here was in

Click Pupils
Star Workers
For Red Gross

or all the Juvenile ways of earning
money for war purposes, including the
Junior Red Cross, it has remained for
the pupils of the Click school to
branch out in a CO. operative effort that
ranks them above all others. Not only
are they going to make a lot of money
for their Red Cross branch, but in do
ing so they have collectively taken a
mans place. The latter is doing other
work.

it occurred to some one, (Miss Hos

poinD that the pupils Of the school
could be their own janitors Miss Hos
teller says the idea Just came" but

OF the building. There have been no
fires to keep up, which has made the
work easier. And there are so many
helpers that the work never takes very
long.
The plan has met the approval OF
Superintendent Palmer. The ianitor

school is naturally expecting that it
will receive the same pay for the same
work 1t undoubtedly will.
