BEAUTY COMES WITH GROWTH
American Towns, H. They Are Well
Planned, Will Develop Along.
Proper Artistic Lines.

We see American towns In the proc
ess Of growth, and the slow transition
from hastily erected "shacks," one
story general store, u blacksmith shop
(these are still needed), garage how
adays, a church and q schoolhouse,
into q f1ourishing community not al
ways attractive. There is q period
when there are no shade trees, when
streets are dusty or muddy and IN
paved, where there IL ansunhnished APP
pearances about everything. 1T is not
no many years since q large number
Of the towns and villages of Indiana
had an unkempt, untrimmed look. Seen
from trains In passing, they looked I'M
Inviting. AS matter Of fact, the res
idents had other things to think OF
than beauty. They were building their
homes, making their living by arduous
labor, sending their children to school
and sacrificing many desirable things
for the sake of the necessities. This
is the history of all towns.
The conditions are different now. In
diana is full of beautiful towns and
small cities that were the gopher
prairies" of years ago. Beautiful
homes, handsome lawns, paved and
shaded streets, substantial business
houses, attractive public buildings, in
Guiding libraries, and a general air of
prosperity distinguish them. The same
people live there who were there at
the beginning. When they and their
children came to the point where
beauty and luxury could be added to
the necessities of living, they reached
out and provided them. 1t is the way
with American towns.-Indianapol

ASSIST IN BUILDING HOMES
Associations Through the Country
Teach Thrift and at the Same
Time Make Good Citizens.

Pointing out that man who owns
his own home probably will be a good
citizen, G. Clinton James, president of
the Building Associations council for
the District of Columbia, issued a
statement showing what building as
sociations in the district are doing to
encourage home owning and thrift.
While complete figures are not avail
able it is estimated that the total as
sets of building associations in Wash
ington will be more than $2S,000000,
he announced.
'The building associations through
out the country are teaching thrift and
trying to- educate the public to own
their own homes" Mr.. James stated.
1.-THE motto of the United States
League of Local Building and Loan
Associations is The American Home
the Safeguard of American Liberties
'The building associations have as
sisted very largely in solving the hous-
ing question by assisting persons Of
limited means to finance the buying
Of their home, but the demand for
loans has been much greater than the
funds available" 1t is asserted.
While building associations are not
as necessary in smaller towns as In
the cities, the same idea expressed in
community spirit will work out to the
desired result in the end.

There are several ways of finishing
the surface of a plant-stand. Use the
method preferred by the person for
whom the stand is built. You can
stain the wood, making a stain of oil
paint and turpentine, then apply wax
after the stain has dried, or varnish
the surface Varnish Is more durable
shan wax. Water does not affect it,
but viii spot a waxed surface. You
can give the stand a couple of coats
of paint. This is good scheme if
the material used Is not very good.
because cracks and other defects can
be puttied before the second coat Of
paint is applied. Instead of painting
the surface it may be covered with

the old days Cut the satisfy and
cook until tender; add to the chicken
pie. 1t was not a measure OF econ

sify would extend pie several serv-
ings, and at the same time give en-

When preparing hamburg steak, add
pinch of Glove, few black wal
nuts and little sausage. For sea-
soning put slices of onion around the
steak rather than adding the onion to
the meat.
Maple strip makes most delicious
fondant for homemade candies. Where
strip is plenty it may take the place
of sugar in many kinds of candies.
Any bits of leftover meat, especial
ly ham, may be ground through the
meat chopper, seasoned with dash
of mustard and then packed into
small jar covered with melted fat and
set away for sandwich filling, to use
as sauce or with rice and tomato.
Even a half of jelly glass will sea-
son a dish of rice or serve for half
dozen sandwiches.
A nice luncheon dish may be made
nv using leftover ham (chOr,na9l
spread on buttered toast and serve on
it nicely poached egg.
Puffed Rice BrittIe-Cook in a
smooth iron frying pan one cupful of
sugar, stirring until melted, and a

one cupful or more of pulled rice, pre-
viously heated in the oven until crisp.

Give a Hand.

In every community there are sue
cessful men-men of experience, men
of means. In every community there
are young men who might make a sue
cess Of life. They have it in them !;
all they lack is some one to give a
hand. 1t may not be money they need,
perhaps only an interested friend.
Somebody helps whenever a young
man gets started right il anything.
Somewhere every successful man got
a start by some ones help. To keep
the world moving on an upward slope
the process must be made perpetual.
Each man, once started, should be-
come q starter Of others. And who
starts another gets himself along at a
more rapid gait. There is that in
helping another that reflects not credit
alone to the agent, but a bent of mind,
an outlook on life, a generosity Of
soul, that wins way forward for him
self also.-Thrift Magazine.
