CIVIC DUTY SHARED BY ALL
Cultivation and Spread Of Public
Spirit and Of Patriotism Must
Not Be Evaded.

Civic responsibility, when the quail
Tying age Is reached, rests on all alike.
Furthermore, the notion Of ones
public duty has during the last few
years broadened considerably. Young
and old are learning that voting,
though a serious and weighty affair, is
but one small part of a citizens duty.
A citizens business Is to mind the
law and help to see that others
mind II.
A citizens business Is to be a good
%neighbor. to pay his debts, to col
laborate in works Of neighborhood
benefit, to assist effort for the general
social welfare.
He has not done enough when he
has made himself rich. He may built
himself a home Of great costliness ane
beauty. He may surround himself
with the appurtenances Of Ease and
leisure. These things are legitimate
rewards Of honest. earnest toll.
But II he is a good citizen, he cares
not merely to have, but to share.
Children taught to be unselfsh in
their games and diligent in their
studies have had their primary and
fundamental lesson In citizenship.
The habits they acquire, Of indus
try and generosity, will make them In
maturer years beloved and respected,
as examples Of public spirit and Of

GIVE THOUGHT TO THE BIRDS
New York Authority Urges Prospeo
tive Home Builders to Remember
Feathered Friends.

Home owners, In planting trees,
shrubs and vines, should take into
consideration the idea of growing
plants that will attract birds, accord
Ing to Professor Alan f. Arnold Of
the New York State College Of Fores-
try, who finds that there Is a POSSIBLE.
ty OF many of our native birds dis
appearing altogether for lack of food
and shelter.
The list Of trees, shrubs and vines
attractive to birds includes many Of
our most ornamental plants. There Ia
no more valuable evergreen tree for
ornamental purposes than the native
red cedar; 1t asO provides the best
shelter and nesting sites for birds,
while they find food In the berries
and insects commonly found on the
tree.
The native Towering dogwood and
the Chinese Towering crabapple are
two particularly beautiful trees that
are favOrites with the birds. The
gra%y-stemmed dogwood, honeysuckle,
American elder and sheepberry are al.
so serviceable to the birds, and orna.
mental. The Virginia creeper, one
Of the most popular vines, furnishes
nesting sites for birds and draws the
attention Of the birds away from
grapes aDDlpS and pparhpS
If one has Q place where plants
OF a wilder sort can be introduced"
said Professor Arnold. "and wishes
to make a special point Of attract
Ing birds, there Is a great variety
OF native plants that could not per-
haps be used for more finished eff.
fects, but here would be just the
thing"

Beauty az Civic Asset.

If w want to draw self-supporting
outsiders to the city as a place Of
residence. beauty attracts more quickly
than anything else, asserts the In.
dianapolls News. A good many hold
to the view that this argument applies
only to the more wealthy districts.
There Is nothing more false than this.
II applies equally to the working home
districts. There are working home dis
tricts In this city which, II left alone
will remain beauty spots. The houses

fciently to admit OF flower beds and
lawns. which In summer are most at.
tractive. These districts should be
protected by a coming law that would
not permit a grocery store or q "a.
rage to get into their midst.
Analysis Of the situation viii show
that by spending a little money the
taxable value Of certain districts can
be raised 40 It will cost the public
nothing and a beauty spot will be
added to the city.
