Before You Build.

Think twice before you, build; don't
let the present shortage Of houses
scare you into buying the first lot you
come to and setting the contractor to
work. Look around a bit; the house
you build will stand there long time
your home. Plan to make it beauti-
full and to give it a setting Of beauty.
It can be done; trees will do it. Nice
houses are always made nicer by the
company of trees. They look more
like homes. They strike a note of COM
fort, Of permanence, of stability, Of
peace. In Good Housekeeping Miss
Alice Booth shows US with many
beautiful photographs why the best
of homes need trees.

TACKLE
FOOD PROBLEM
Variety Of Ways, Some Of Them
Unusual, Are Being
Tried Out.
HOW One CITY SELLS FOOD
Houston, Tex, Handles Fruits and
Vegetables In Competition with
Tenants Of Its Municipality
Owned Market House.

dPrepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Washington. That municipalities
are tackling their local food problems
In a variety Of ways, some of them
unusual, Is evidenced by reports re-
ceived by the city marketing division
of the bureau Of markets, United
States department. of agriculture.
From establishing curb markets. re-
modelling, or building retail market
houses, efforts of cities have expanded
until some are actually selling food
supplies, while one city of about &c.
900 population is operating farm
and selling produce from it at retail.
How One City Sells Food.
Houston, Tex, which has munich
,pally owned retail market house, has
taken over three stalls in the build
ing and is handling fruits and vege-
tables in competition with its tenants.
In order to be fair to other retailers
it charges itself with all overhead ex-
penses paid by other dealers. including
rent, and also pays wages higher than
those paid in other stalls. Reports
~on ten weeks operation Of the city.
managed stalls show that 1t Is possi-
able to buy and sell produce In COM
petition with local merchants at both
a direct and indirect saving to con-
.sumers. The experiment Is to be en-
larged to include food products other
than fruits and vegetables and is said
to be already serving as a stabilizing
influence on prices in that city mar
Ret. Competing merchants have be-
come interested in the methods Of do
ing business Of the city-operated stalls
and appear anxious to try out prac-
-tfces that would enable them to lower
their prices.
A city Goes Into Farming.
Allentown, Pa, has gone into farm
ing on a farm acquired for other pur-
poses which, through changes in mu'
znicipal plans, was lying idle. Under
the direction of one Of the city alder
men this farm is producing vegetables
and selling them at retail in COMPETE
ton with shipped-in produce. The
farm also feeds 1000 head Of hogs on
city garbage. Local advocates Of the
plan now propose to include the use
of an old brewery as a storage ware
house for potatoes and other products
grown by local farmers. so as to lessen
the city's dependence on shipped'in
products.
Although the bureau Of markets,
through its city market division. is
keeping in touch with developments
In many cities and is compiling in
formation for use in answering in
.quiries it states that it would be glad
to hear from any cities, not as yet
reached by formal inquiry, which are
working on local food problems
through municipality owned shops and
by other methods differing from those
that have been followed in the past.
The bureau plans to make available in
formation in regard to the successes
and failures of cities in their efforts to
solve their food problems in order that
municipalities contemplating special
action may have the benefit of the ex-
perience Of communities faced with
similar conditions.

The fact that it was bitter

is not regarded by Mrs. Her

Showed Bad Faith
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE exc
cutive council of the American feder-
alton of labor after a special meeting
today, gave out this statement:
THE executive council notes the
fact that in the statement issued by
Attorney General Palmer, which be-
yond doubt was called forth by the
statement issued by the executive
council at its last meeting Sunday, No
vember 3, and published in the news
papers Monday, November 10. that the
attorney general evades in the main,
not only the declaration of principle
involved in the restraining order and
the mandatory features of the injunc-
ton issued by Judge Anderson, but that
Mr.. Palmer wholly ignores the asser-
ton made by the executive council
that a pledge was made by the gov
eminent officials and by members Of
congress that the Lever act was never
intended to apply to the activities of
wage earners engaged in any strike
or lockout relative to wages, hours and
conditions of employment, and that
the Lever act will not be applied by
the government to wage earners n
gagd in such activities.

the Prince of Wales as the guest OF
the nation and President Wilson's
leaving his bed for the first time since
illness forced him TO abandon his
speaking tour last month-marked the
celebration Of Armistice day in Wash
ington. A general feeling of relief in
official circles over the decision of the
soft coal miners to rescind the strike
order was another high point in the
day set apart to commemorate the
ending of hostilities in the war.
Rain fell during the day, forcing
many of the arranged events of cele-
bration to be held inside in Depart
ments and bureaus.
Tonight a chorus of community
singers gathered on the steps of the
treasury across from the white house
to serenade Mr.. Wilson.
The president had planned some
days in advance to leave his sick bed
today as in some measure his own
commemoration of the significance of
the armistice day and reposiLg in Il

of the program arranged by the sing
ers in his honor.

WASHINGTON Nov. 11.-Expres-

to government ownership of railroads
drew applause from both democratic
