Tho orderly Country Town.

The ordinary country town can not
expect to present a fine appearance as
the result of having many costly edi-
fees. 1t may have some handsome
buildings, but II usually cannot invest
any great mount in expensive archl-
lecture and building materials. 1t has
to acquire a pleasing appearance In
other ways largely by a scrupulous
care Of its business buildings, homes
and streets, with the patient effort to
~beautify the same.
Property that is kept In perfect re
pair has a finish and trimness about
1t that counts more than costly archi-
lecture. You see many towns where
a great deal has been spent on ornate
and elaborate buildings, but where
the streets are not kept clean. and
where many people still tolerate dis
orderly conditions. \ place like that
