GOOD SIDEWALKS A Rig ASSET

Everyone realizes the necessity OF
good roads. Yet many people fail
TO grasp the essential character of
good paths reaching out into resid-
ence streets, gives an impression Of
comfort and modefnity.
Many towns permit an intolefable
appearance Of disorder to creep in.
by building walks Of brick or cement,
and then allowing them to crumble
to pieces. That gives more Of an ap-
pearance Of decay than = primitive
dirt path ever did. Like . handsome
house that has be come dilspidated,
it suggests that the possessors there
Of have seen better days and are on
the down grade.
II . towns walks are substantial
and well kept up, visitors feel con-
fident that the community's business
is run on an up to date and success
full basis, and that it is a good town
to trade in.
A good system Of walks has q psy-
choloRieal effect on the people who
use them. The man who goes stumb-
ling along on q poor walk feels de-
pressed and irritated by the uncom-
Portable travelling. He inwardly
curess' the town that keeps itself up
so poorly. He gets the depressed
feeling that there 10 no life in the
community. and it is no use trying
to push it ahead.
But give him 4 good walk on which
to 60 about his errands, and he pro-
eeeds head up with confidence. He
keeps saying to himself. this is .
bright and live place, and We are on
the gain, and ve can't hel- going
ahead. This inspires him and the
whole community With courage and
optimism and they get out and Do
things. Every time you build . new

Many Of these sub-noEmal child
rem are found in families where one
parent at least was weak mentally.
Teachers say the proportion of these
children seems tc increase. They
constitute = problem that should not
be ignored. Most Of these young
sters, if given hand work in 4 special
class, can at least learn to do some
task we'll, to cooperate with 9TH
ers, and to obey the laws Of the COM
munity. A great deal Of cost and
loss can be avoided by providing spe-
cial treatment for children Of this
type.

first electrical plant. At that time many had the
idea that the community would never be able to
use the power generated. The plant looked inn

and the original engine and generator, long since
discarded. would not commence to supply the

Taxes have leaped from fifty TO three

there has been constant increase for

DUTY OF THE BANKS

Various agricultural organizations
and certain politicians who would buy
votes with vain promises. regardless OF
consequences, have been accusing the
banks of the nation Of refusing 10 H.
nance the farmers In holding their
crops. aud thereby forcing great loss
ON the agricultural interests.
As a matter ~ fact. the banks in
every locality have financed the far
mers long past the time when many
crops should have been sold. Banks
have crippled their own resources IN
extending these loans month after
month. aud in many localities. refusal
OF farmers 10 sell crops has caused a
serious condition In banking circles.
