liza, syringa, geranium, etc, will be
effective. The massing of color is as
important as that of kind.
3. Avoid straight lines.
Even slight curves are better than
none. Borders may be curved here
and there, and so break the monotony
of the line.
Hardy Plants Popular.
Shrubs and hardy plants are popu-
lar, for they cost less and last longer
than ANIMALS. Most of them have
beautiful flowers, at least in portions
Of the year. By proper selection there
may be an unbroken succession of
flowers from early spring till late fall.
Use vines generously. They may be
made to cover sunny corners or I'M
slightly buildings and fences. Most of
them, when once started, require little
attention and give beautiful results.
The design illustrated shows a prac-
teal stucco residence, containing
seven rooms, sun porch, pantry and
bath. Size of main part is 26 by 30
feet; side porch projects 9 feet and
the back porch pantry addition 6 feet
Covered with a hip roof and wide
caves, this house is typical exam
pie of good, modern architecture.

TRAIN FOR HARD WORK
Is there a physical training
class in YOUR town?

Is there a physical training
class in your town?
If not, this is a good time to
start one-a physical training
class to harden the soft muscles
of town and city men, so they
, can go to farms and do effective
work during emergency needs
: for farm labor in their counties
and communities.
, Kansas City started a '1oyal
physical fitness class" some
weeks before the time for the
wheat harvest. The idea spread
all over the state. In many
: towns and cities similar classes
were organized, and men made
T themselves fit for the hard work
they were to undertake in the
fields as volunteer harvest work
ers. The Kansas wheat crop
couldn't have been harvested if
? thousands of patriotic men from
the towns and cities had not
!, volunteered to save this crop
that will help feed the fighters
+ at the front. And a great many
I of these men couldn't have work
t ed as effectively, and some of
them would have been forced to
r drop out altogether, if they had
not been prepared for the physi
cal strain by preliminary train
ing.
Uncle Sam needs the help of
: every loyal American citizen.
/ Either work or fight You can't

your present job or at any other

are physically fit.

The re-education Of mutfIated
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1918-06-27
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRp.

A good many new houses look bleak
and uninviting because of the lack of
trees and shrubs around them. Or
dinarily ii takes a few years for these
to grow; so even if a start at plant
ing is made at once, there Is a period
of baroness before the new house is
properly framed and screened.
Often the homebuilder is able to
select a lot that is wooded" as the
real estate men say, and by preserv-
ing the trees already on the site he
gets at once a well-planted effect.
Whether the value of the land it.
self is increased by trees or not is
subject given much thought by the
students of real estate. The tree in
the heart of the city is of little value.
Unless placed in perfect relation to
its surroundings it may even be a
detraction. AS rule, however, the
real estate dealer appreciates the ex-
istence of a strong influence which

parent real estate values in residence

Trees Help Sales.
Subdivision operators assert that
lots in a subdivision will sell faster
with trees upon them, for the reason
that the effect of a well-grown tree or
tree group on a lot gives somehow a
substantial appearance to the whole
of the property. The sense of perma-
nency attaching to the tree seems in
to the house also. Thus the house a
little farther down the street, built in

no tree on the lot seems transient
of sudden growth. OF the two the
prospective buyer is more likely to
choose the one with the tree. So it
would appear that trees do have an
enhancing effect on real estate in resi-
dence districts.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
need of removing trees is fully as
necessary at times as putting them in.
Trees too near a house and in too
great numbers will often obscure the
house, render it dark inside and give
it an unkempt appearance. Then
thinning becomes necessary, and eX
perts say that it should be done with

MOTOR TRUCK
TRANSPORT eggs
Producers Find Experiment So
Satisfactory That They viii
Extend Service.
QUICK DELIVERY IS RESULT
Fruits, Vegetables and Other Products
in Season to Be Carried-Mer-
chandise Is Hauled by Trucks
on Return Trips.

Last year producers of eggs near
Vineland and MilIville, New Jersey,
had difficulties getting their eggs to
dealers in New York City. This year.
however, they travel direct by motor
truck to the dealers doors and arrive
in less time and with less loss from
breakage than in other seasons.
This community Of producers has
found the results of their experiment
of shipping eggs by motor truck so
successful that they are planning to
extend their efforts to cover fruits and
vegetables, poultry, and other products
in season.
Eggs by Motor Truck.
Following a season in which trans
portation troubles made shipments to
New York City unsatisfactory the
farmers sought assistance from the
bureau of markets of the United States
department of agriculture, and spe-
cialists on motor-truck marketing made
a survey of the situation. This was
followed by group Of producers agree
ing to ship their eggs by motor truck
and to bring the cases to designated
places along the route the truck was
to cover. A large commercial motor
truck company, operating feet of
trucks between New York and Phila-
delphia. was interested and agreed to
make a detour on their trips to New
York. TO which city their trucks had
often Travelled without being loaded,
to take in Vineland and Millyille. Lo-
cal farmers and merchants in these
two towns agreed to give their hauling
business from Philadelphia to the truck
company and thus insure a full load
for the trucks all the way from Phila-
delphia to New York.
Capacity Of Trucks.
The trucks have a capacity of about
five tons, and can take 200 crates of
eggs. On the first trip only $50 cases
were ready at the roadside and the bal
ance Of the load was made up of Grated
glass from Vineland and Millville. This
first load went the 40 miles in the
record time of Is hours with not an
egg broken on the way. The truck
went across on the ferry boat from the
New Jersey shore, and the eggs were
delivered on the sidewalks in front
of the wholesale houses. On the re-
turn trip the truck hauled merchandise
from New York direct to Philadelphia.
Some of the dealers in New York
City are offering premium Of from
one-half to one and one-half cents a
dozen for eggs shipped by motor
truck from Vineland and Millville be-
cause the eggs arrive in better condi-
ton and IN quicker time than when
shipped by rail. This premium alone
more than covers the difference in cost
of shipping by motor truck and by rail,
and, in addition to the time saved, the
motor truck service is more dependable
and gives better delivery. The eggs
as yet, are not pooled, but consist Of
individual shipments to a number OF
dealers.
