CANADIAN CITY TAKES LEAD
Toronto Tackles Its Housing Problem
IN Way That Shows She
Means Business.

Toronto, Ont, is showing initiative
in the housing problem, declares the
Christian Science Monitor. Not only
is she appointing commission to
study the question, in approved fash
ion, but she is planning to build 800
houses for sale or rent and to give
loans up to so per cent to those who
wish to build. Her scheme is re-
stricted to prospective purchasers who
have been bona fidc residents OF the
city for the last two years.
1t is apparent that Toronto is not
satisfied with the handling of the prob
lem by private interests, and her dis
satisfaction is echoed practically all
over the world. PrOfiteering landlords
have waxed rich, during the housing
shortage, at the expense of the rent
payer. To allow them to continue to
do so would be to encourage injustice.
Toronto has taken note of this condi-
ton and intends to put check upon
Ii. In her efforts she will be watched
by other municipalities, who may now
look to her for way out Of one OF
their most perplexing tangles.

COLD-BLOODeD WITH GIFTS
Program for Those Persons Who

We have tried to work out little

we ought to help them to arrange

with enthusiasm without in after days
wishing to upbraid their parents and

We suggest, therefore, that the chill

"Kids: We shall now enjoy our gift

roll the other day and handed them to
your mother, and she dived headlong
into the bargain counter flood and for
two whole days appeared not again,
and when she did crawl out, battered,
damned, ragged, torn, bruised and old,
she clutched to her bosom these few
gimcracks. fol-de-rols and highly I'M
serviceable articles. We have placed
them upon these chairs so as to divest
the business of any stage effects that
might heghten the pleasure in any
way or give a false impression. You
are to understand that / had to give
up for these things, and / wish to for

marks we will now fall TO, and you
want to be quick about it, for want

plant Trees In Fall.

Fall planting Of trees and shrubs
Is usually more successful than spring
planting. The question is debatable
In some localities, but in many fall Is
the best time.
In the fall We have a longer period
of favorable weather. the sap or life
of the plant has stopped flowing and
has become dormant for the season,
while in the spring the sap Is just be-
ginning to flow and the plant is start
ing its growth for the season, and
transplanting will at this time disturb
the roots and growth, and materially
retsrd the successful development of
the plant.
Fall planting permits the tree or
shrub to firmly establish itself, so that
the April showers and early spring
sun can begin to draw the sap up from
the roots, and the minute fibrous root
hairs having close contact with the
soil can Immediately take in moisture
from the soil. 1t Is this circulation
Of moisture that means the successful
development of the plant,

OPPOSED TO CHRISTMAS PIE

The Puritans were not alone in
their opposition to mince or Christmas
pie. The Quakers also fought against
1t, and at length even many good peo-
pie of the Church of England began
to think that clergymen should abstain
from it, against which prejudice Bick-
erstaffe thus demonstrates: "The
Christmas pie is, in its own nature,
kind of consecrated cake or badge
of distinction. and yet 1t is often for
hidden the druid of the family.
Strange that sirloin of beef, whether
boiled or roasted, when entire is ex-
posed to the utmost depredations and
invasions, but If minced into small
pieces and tossed up with plums and
sugar 1t changes the property, and for.
sooth is meat for his master"

WONDERFUL SPIRIT OF GIVING

Another year is nearing its close and
with its ending comes that glad time,
the Christmas holiday season. The alb
sent ones are home again or if they
cannot come there are the letters and
tokens to be sent and received. The
remembrance need not be expensive
as to money value, to be very much
appreciated.
Christmas is -eminently the chill
dren's day. Do not insist that Santa
will not remember them If they are not
good. For we all know that Santa
Claus will surely come and the chill
dren know it. too. He did not forget
us in our own childhood whether we
were very, very good or not. Let us
teach the children about the wonderful
spirit of loving and giving that brings
a happy Christmas time.

MUNICIPAL CARE OF TREES
troll az Any Modern Necessity,
Says Writer.

Simple and practical information
with which the ideal of "the city beau
tiful" may be brought nearer. realizG-
ton Is contained in bulletin. street
Trees" prepared by a hOrticulturist
OF the United States Department Of
Agriculture. With very few excep-
tons, the bulletin points out. the tree
American town or city is ragged and
unkempt.
That Of suburb or small village is
not much better unless il has been I'M
der adequate municipal control and
the paintings of given street have
been confined to single kind of
tree. Those modern necessities, the
telephone, telegraph, electric light and
trolley car, each have shared in the
mutilatiOn and destruction of good
trees. Too few municipalities realize,
however, that these modern facilities
can be provided without impairing the
beauty Of shade trees, says the writer.
One means of preventing injury is
more general use Of alleys for public
utility wires. Faulty pruning has also
caused much deformity.
Providing shade on city streets is as
much a municipal function as provid-
ing lights on sidewalks, says the pub
LEGATION, and therefore should be I'M
dertaken- by public officials. Negative
control by requiring permits for plant
ing, pruning and removal is a little
better than no control. Probably the
most satisfactory supervision is
through an unpaid commission of three
or five members--men who should be
appointed to long terms. since it takes
two or three years for commissioner
to realize the needs and scope Of the
work, according to the bulletin.
Even good board charged with the
care of street trees can accomplish
little without liberal funds. These
may be provided by appropriation from
the general tax fund or direct assess
ment against property owners, collect
ible with their taxes. In any event,
the minimum appropriation provided
should be sufficient 10 carry on prop
erly the work already begun.

SANTA CLAUS

Beyond the ocean many a mile,
And many year ago,
There lived a wonderful queer old man
In a wonderful house of snow;
And every little boy and girl.
AS Christmas times arrive,
No doubt will be very glad to hear
The old man is still alive.
In his house upon the top OF a hill,
And almost out of sight,
He keeps a great many elves at work,
All working with all their might
To make a million of pretty things,
Cakes, sugar-plums and toys,
To fill the stockings, hung up. you know.
BY the little girls and boys.

FIRST CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

1t is said that Christmas was first
observed in the year 9S and that 1t was
not until the year 1877 that it was made
solemn feast. Pope Telesphorus de-
creed that it should be celebrated by
all Christians in that year. On one
early Christmas day the Roman EN-
peror Diocletian, hearing that the
Christians assembled In their church
were engaged in celebrating the birth
of Christ, commanded that the doors
of the church he closed and the build
ing set on fire. This was done and six
hundred persons lost their lives in the
burning church.

Town Hospitality.

Hospitality has broader meaning
than that which the individual home
delights to show the friend or visitor.
A community can practice 1t in like
manner and be known as town where
real kindness and consideration are
shown visitors, strangers and newcom-
ers. 1t takes such little trouble to
make those who come to us feel that
they are welcome. - Mo-gantown
