Incades and pergoIas and expect d
people to believe them our own. But
architecture symbCIizes the cfviliza-
ton that devfses it, not only visualiz-
ing the beauty of strength but turn
ing it to the purposes symbolized.
Thus we get back to the slogan, "a
plan that isn't sound commercially
isn't worth considering"
The plan, sound commercially, is the
result of an inquiry into what is need
ed and the desire to fulfill that need
in a beautiful and utilitarian way.

Give Everx Attention to petaiIs.

The foundation of a home is de-
signed and built to support the struc-
ture that is necessary to fill our
needs. The foundation Of any busi-
ness must be planned with the same
accuracy. If we aim to build up a non.
competitive structure, the foundation
cannot be laid on some byway, remote
from travel. 1t would require too
large an expenditure In advertising
mediums to draw the trade to such
isolated places.
Therefore, plans must be COM
pfete in every detail. Each depart
ment should be equipped with the nee
sessaFy furniture to make 1t attractive
and serviceable; each ventilated by
aspiration and heated with enthusi-
asan.-Exchange.

EFFECT OF CLOVER ON SOIL
Same Necessity for Applying Lime AZ

Glover has a mechanical and nutri.

Of applying lime for the wheat holds

desirable to have it done by interested
persons who can find employment fol-
