For these days it is almost impossible for one person to mak e a success or to build a home or to reach easy-street unless he has the aid of his family. Families can ac- quire money, nice surroundings and comforts if they pool their earnings. but working alone is hard struggle and a mighty lonesome business.

Something terribles going to hap pen if you don't hurry.

 There are only about 10 days more for spring planting, says Mrs. R. A. Clayton, Mrs. J. M Hankins and Mrs. W. N. Griffin, captains, workers and leaders for the East Lake boulevard and Bankhead association.
 The only thing you need to do Is to ring up either Mrs. Clayton or Mrs. Griffin, tell them you want to pay s2 each for trees planted in front of your house or 75 cents for crepe myrtle. Then these chairnren will turn the order over Immediately to the official landscape gardeners. And the trees and things will be planted by expert hands, and you won't even have to dig the holel
 Much Enthusiasm
 How enthusiasm is burning in the hearts of all the people from First avenue at Weatherly viaduct to Iron dale and to Roebuck Springs! This Ndh eNluenCeu yesterday when the Fraser landscape gardeners, accomp- anied by the interested women direc- tors, did the first work of stalking off the holes along the streets where the trees and crepe myrtles are to be set out. Every organization, it is said, needs a brass button for it's helpful ness, for all are entering with the greatest amount Of pep into the work; and even bareleEged little boys and glrsl are feeling the urge to pro- tect the pretty things that are to be put in the earth
 sIhe children are eager and will be urged to build bird boxes; taught to guard the trees and flowers, and to realize what they mean in health, as well as value to the property of that section; also to dream big dreams about the future of their neighbor- food.

WANT WOMAN ON
 SCHOOL BOARD.
Executive Board of League of Women Voters to Meet.
 Mrs. BoWron Suggested
By NIIGNON HALL

It Is declared very probable that Mrs, A. J. Bowron will bs indorsed this morning by the executive board oi the League of Women Voters to fill the position on the board of edu- cation made vacant by tho death of Horace Waters.
 If not it Is very sure that the or eanization will indorse some woman. Since Mrs. Mary D. Echols was elect cd to be commissioner, the board has cen without a woman member, and the league has been very much inter- ested in having another woman in service, considering that there are 700 school teachers at least serving in the public schools.
 Already Has Applied
 In the matter of getting a woman on the board, the league took steps some time ago when a committee ap- peared before Mrs. Echols, who is comm ssioner of education, to ask that a woman be appointed to the next vacancy. At that time, said Mrs Richard Johnston, president of the league, last night, Mrs. Echols prom ised to use what influence she pos sessed toward getting another woman on the board.
 Immediately upon the news of MT Waters death, the league called it's executive board to meet this morning at II o'clock at the Eillman hotel to consider the matter of ndorsing some woman 1t felt would be capable of filling the position satisfactorily and well and for the benefit of all the people. Mrs. Bowron is said by
