NEVER TOO SOON TO BEGIN
Start Is All That Is Necessary in Plan
ming House That One Some Day
is Going to Build.

There are two kinds of people who
are interested in the question of build
ing houses: Those who have built one
house and live in it, and those who are
living in some ones else house. A
pretty comprehensive statement, but
really, who isn't interested in the mat
ter of building a home?
Jones has a house of his own, and
he Is concerned with the thing he pos
sesses, says an exchange. Smith, who
owns no house, is concerned with some-
thing he lacks. Jones is homesick only
when he is away from home. Smith
can never be homesick in any place 9TH
er than his home. Jones Is an owner,
a master, a liege lord of lands and all
that is therein. Smith is a tenant, a
payer of rent, a slave of tribute. Jones
dwells on the right side of the door.
Smith is e~ternally wishing that he did.
1t is never too soon to begin planning
that house which some day you are go-
ing to want to build. 1t is eve too
soon, but sometimes too late, to save
the money for a start toward it. The
start Is all that is necessary.

FIshinq on Sunday.

Sunday fishing, which has long been
looked upon as sacrilegious In the Isle
of Man, threatens to lose some Of its
terrors for the "unco guild" notes an
exchange. Until recently the North of
England and Scotch fishermen engaged
in the Manx herring trade have kept
Sunday so vigorously that they have
remained in port from Saturday norm
ing to Monday afternoon. Fishermen
from the South, resenting the loss of
two nights fishing, have tried to break
through the tradition and a Fleetwood
boat put out TO sea ms Sunday I've
ming recently, returning the next day
with a good catch. The buyers at first
looked askance at the herring as Sun
~day-caught.' but finally they were sold
al a fair price.

The Knockers PRAYER.

In the ease of Bloodworth VS. Times
Publishing Company, 1913 Southwest
ern Reporter, 527, Justice Wood of
the Arkansas supreme court said, in
substance, that where defendants in
one part of Its paper referred to plain
tiff as a "knocker," and it al alleged
that he was the person specifically
meant, 1t furnished the necessary col
loquium to show that the following
prayer published in the same paper
applied to the plaintiff:
"The Knockers Prayer: Lord. please
don't let this town grow. I've been
here for many years, and during that
time l have fought every public i'm
provement. I've knocked on every
thing and everybody. No firm OF in
dividual has established a business
here without my doing all l could to
put them out of business. I've lied
about them, and would have stolen
from them, If | had the courage. I
am against building a new church, even
though / gave nothing. / am against
the electric light franchise being
granted to George Booser, George
Washington, or Jim Tom. 1t pains
me, oh Lord, to see that in spite of
my knocking the town Is growing.
Then, too, more people might come
here, which would cause me to lose
some of my pull. l ask, therefore, to
keep this town at a standstill, that l
may be one of the chiefs. Amen i"-

PLANTING NEEDS CARE
Appearance Of Grounds as Important
as House Plans, Interior Decor
ations or Furniture.

While house plans, interior decora-
tions and furniture play a prominent
part in the life Of the new home build
err, care Of the grounds about the house
should likewise be given consideration,
particularly as regards the planting OF
trees to trim up the general appear
ance of the house.
In tree planting great care, foresight
and judgment are required, says a
landscape artist. The selection of
young trees, their proper setting apart
and their care after planting make
beautiful grounds possible. In shade
tree planting as in the construction or
a building, the plan for the completed
work should be determined in advance,
for the tree planter must picture to
himself how his work will look a great
number of years later and with him 1t
rests whether the result is to be n
of satisfaction or regret.
In making selections n must bear
in mind that the tree must possess GER
tain characteristics to be desirable. In
the first place it must be hardy, capa-
BILE of w~ithstanding unfavorable condi'
tons of city life such as poor soil,
drought, smoke, gas, heat and dust, cas-
lily transplanted and ~propagated. 1t
must have a straight stem, a rounded
well filled head, well developed roots
and be symmetrical in growth. They
must to a great degree be immune from
insect pests, retain their foliage IN
good condition through the summer IN
It'll late fall and be clean in their hab-
it's of growth. The ideal shade tree
must also be of medium growth and
long lived. The desirability of devels
oping good-sized shade trees as soon Is
possible after planting is admitted, and
it is unfortunate that the trees grow
ing most rapidly are the most undesir-
able.
