City Beautiful" With the approach
Of winter and the resultant, snow and
Ice, this quotation may seem some
what out of place at this time. And
yet even in the winter the city can
be made good to look at.
1t las been pointed out that what
aver appearance the city makes when
winter is fully upon it depends large
ly on what is done now to prepare
Tor the blanket of snow.
A little jaunt about the city and
outlying districts reveals many arti-
cles and much rubbish that the snow
should not be permitted to cover.
Lying about yards and alleys, for in7
stance, may be seen branches of trees,
old tin ans and boxes, and (though
some may doubt it, an occasional
bottle or two.
City officials. have explained that II
it has not already happened It WILL
not be long before these articles WILL
be frozen down or covered with snow,
making it impossible for them to be
removed until things thaw out In the
spring. Not only does such rubbish
present an uns.ghtly appearance When
p%rotruding above the SOW, but causes
! considerable delay to the cleanup
work in the spring.

Although the city health depart
ment during the summer waged an
| active campaign against weeds, there

outskirts and in the country, where
weeds can be seen. h is another

No sir you are made a member and
the three boys too as soon as I get

Nature put it there. That is what

something to write about so that is
why l want the actual experiences
of those of you who have been to
these places. There Is no end to
strange things. In Southern Oregon
there is mountain called Mt. Ma
zama that thousands of years ago
must have been a great volcano. for
now its head is gone and the crater
is six miles across. In this crater is
a lake and the water is 1000 feet
deep, SO you can get an idea of what
happened when the volcano blew up.
Colorado has many wonders. such
as the Royal Gorge, the Great Sand
Dunes. Pixies Peak and several ma
tional forests. Do not get these
mixed up with national parks. When
we think of national parks We seem
to think of the West for some rea-
son or other anyway I do. Did you
know there is a national park on
the Atlantic Ocean? Now what men,
bers know the name of that park
and where it is?
There must be thousands of people
who like these things for the visitors
to the national parks doubled in two
years. Write and tell me your travel
and vacation experiences whether
they happened in a national park or
not. RUSSELL BURKE,

The Old Gardener Says:

If you want a big crop of
peonies next spring prepare for
it right now. These plants are
heavy feeders, but they don't
like fresh manure. Probably the
best fertilizer to use ie bone
meal. A handful is mono too
much for each large plant, and
should be worked lightly into
the soil around the roots. Un-
less it happens to be q wet sea-
son, peonies are benefited great
ly by a mulch Of straw or grass
clippings and this mulch should
be several inches deep. It will
keep tho ground cool and moist

Next Wednesday, according to an

fail to agree the decision will be left

Neither side seems "set" for or

of the 101 counties of the state out
side of Sangamon. Mortimer has In.
dicated no preferences or objections.
Both sides favor a county seat with
