THE ATTRACTIVE TOWN.

~ economy is a good thing in municipal af-
fairs, but you can carry it too far, rightly
- says contemporary. Many public Off
Gals say that beauty is luxury, and it can't be
afforded. Yet the people who go on that theory
in handling their own places are not apt to see
their real estate advance much in value. 1t is
the same in developing city. It>has become a
settled policy in many advancing towns to try
to persuade every householder to plant shrubs
and trees and give each home restful setting Of
foliage. Trees planted when streets are laid
out, so that when houses are built the neighbor
hood seems homelike. Vacant land in the out
skirts is taken for parks If taxes can't be afford
ed to improve it, community work days are held
and the people take hold and make it a scene of
beauty. Unused corners at street intersections
are made into little nests of greenery. When
buildings put up, good standards of taste are
consulted
If town will carry out such policy for a
period Of years it will acquire charm far more
attractive than costly edifices It would gain a
reputation as home Of progressive and refined
people, who have travelled enough to know what
a fine modern town looks like. Almost anyone
would pay premium to live in place like that.

losses which have brought us to a standstlll are
imaginary, because they never really happened 1t
IS Just as though man who owned aumber OF
shares Of stock and failed to sell them while the
market was highest, should spend the rest OF his
life grieving about the money he had lost.
The inventory which really counts is the one
which shows the wealth and buying power OF the
country today. The estimated wealth OF the u s.
A.. which in 1900 was 88A billion dollars, has
grown to 500 billions. The per capita wealth then
was 81 200 and today is $4545. The annual bus
mess then was 841a billions and for 1920 was
4171a billions. The value of farm products then
was less than billions and for 1920 was more
than Is billions All this in 20 short years and
comparison with 1914 shows that farm products
have increased in value over SO per cent.
Regretting what might have been would drive
anybody crazy. The thing for all OF us to do to-
day is to quit taking inventory and go to work
If everybody who has work to do will do it, there
will soon be work and business enough for every
body. Looking backward mixes up the parade and
stops the procession. The greatest rewards in
1921 will come to the man who forgets the losses
he didn't have and who looks forward and moves
on-B. L. Rees.

The small town rules America because, instead
of being place of hotels, restaurants and amuse-
ments it is place for normal living-where men
walk home to lunch from their offices and NOW
their own front lawns and weed their backyard
gardens and bid their neighbors across either
fence the time of day; where they not only live
today but remember yesterday and plan for to-
morrow; where families and communities retain,
cherish and transmit traditions. There beats the
heart of America.-Omaha Bee.

Friends, Billy is an unmarried single bachelor!
And he has a wholesale stock of wisdom about
bringing up boys and girls-just like any other
maiden aunt At that, about fve-fift of his ideas
are most awfully right in the estimation of some
of us doting parents. We have never been able
to get at the source of Billy's wisdonl-it may
lie in his Irish ancestry it may lie in the fact
that he lives at Baudette which is close livery

THE INVISIBLE CHRIST.

Even as in the days of yore
Christ is among the sons Of man,
With tender love and kindly lore
Their sorrows to relieve and ban;
Yes, larger cen than in those days
Methinks He labors on the earth,
And prospers in thousand ways
To deeds Of graciousness and worth.
It matters not how grimed the heart,
He stoops to its distress and sin
And tries with all His loving art
It from it's evil ways to win;
He questions not as to desert,
But only does it's need behold,
And is to every hope alert
To bring it back into His fold.
Yes, Christ is on the earth today
AS active as in days of yore,
His love of human lives finds way
More than it ever reached before;
For, countless hearts are gladly bent
To live unto His loving creed,
And countless hands to bring content
Unto the fallen and in need.
