II trees and shrubs are to be planted,
they must be considered from two
standpoints-the space they occupy on
the ground, or plan and their contour
against the sky, or elevation. In this
study artistic skill is called into play
to create the best possible effects. The
contour should be studied with a view
TO blotting ont unpleasant views and
allowing glimpses Of pleasant ones, at
the same time avoiding monotonous
and poorly balanced effects. shrub
berry borders always have irregular
outlines except where the shrubs are
to be clipped to formal hedge effects
and the arrangement of these outlines
requires careful study. The shrubs
should be selected so that those in
front reach the ground with their foil
age, c%onceeling the unsightly bare
stems of more upright and taller varie-
ties. And excellent effects may be OBJ
tanned by grouping with respect to flow
ering season and winter appearance;
and even with respect 10 the color Of
foliage, ms great variation exists In the
green's.

" BUILDING
MUCH IN THE POINT OF VIEW
"Home Town" VIII Not Look Alike to
the Resident and the Visitor
for a Day.

In the smoking compartment of n
pullman not very long age a gentleman
told his fellow travellers a great many
good things about his home town. In
deed, he told so many that one of his
fellow travellers thought he would visit
that tow and, If he found it as repre-
scented, would move his business there.
In due season the traveller did visit that
town and on returning to his city office
observed hat the representative of the
town whom he had met on the train
had drawn on his Imagination ire
~mendously." He may have and he may
not have-it all depends OF viewpoint.
To the resident it may have been an
ideal town to the stranger it may have
lacked many things he regarded as es-
sential. To the resident, substantial
well-to-do people living in comfortable
homes with plenty of breathing space
about them, having gardens and shrub
berry, with a community center build
ing, and just enough industry to give
opportunity for livelihood, it may have
been desirable. On the other hand, its
unpaved streets, lack of street cars,
NNNNtNAoB ohA oo Ohi may nave oAdlhpCu
the town to the city man as undesir-
able for home or business. The one
lived there, perhaps all his life; while
the other could only exist there with
out the eXcitements and pleasures to
which he had been accustomed, though
in the great city where he lived he did
not know even his next door neighbor.
But beyond these things there may
have been other reasons, and one of
them may be this-the resident had
helped make the town what it is the
other had no sentiment in the matter
whatsoever, simply a cold calculated
estimate. Men who create AXE pride
in their creations. Good home-makers
are generally good town-makers, be-
aus they want good homes in good
towns. They have public spirit, civic
pride, and loyalty, because when men
work together for the common good
they stick together for greater prog
ress. Men in small towns know what
they nave accomplished those who live
in large cities have to guess at what
they have done-too many find little
opportunity to do anything, so en-
crossed are they with their own private
business. There's a reason why the
one has sentiment while the other ha:
none.-Grit.

LOGAN COUNTY LEADS COLO
RADIO IN WHEAT PRODUCTION

Logan again ranked first among
Colorado counties in the value OF its
wheat crop in 1922, the total farm
value of the entire production being
S2,465,6i0 according to compilations
made by Howard ID. Sullivan, s~tatist1-
clan of the State Immigration Depart
ment, and w. w. Putnam, agriculture
statisticinn of the United States Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics, and
based upon reports of county asses
sors. Washington county ranked first
in acreage of wheat, but the average
production per acre was slightly be-
low thai in Logan county, and the to-
tai valuation of Washington county's
>crop is placed ut S2,423,2S3. Yuma
county Is third, with a total wheat
production valued ut $2,340,944. Weld
county holds fourth rank, with Il wheat
crop valued mt $2,241, 230. The acre
age of wheat in this county is much
below that in the other three counties.
but the average yield per acre is con-
siderably higher for the reason that
much spring wheat is raised under ir-
rigation in Weld county, while there
is very little wheat grown under irri-
cation in the other three counties
named.

AVOID SKIDDINC
BY TWO METHODS
Rough Tread Tires or Chains viii
Prevent Trouble to Con-
siderable Extent.

Why an automobile skids Is Of in
terest to a motorist, out what to do to
prevent skidding and what to do when
the car is skidding are equally i'm
portant topics.
The main cause of skidding of rear
wheels of motor cars is due to the
action Of the brakes operating through
the rear wheels. Skidding, of course,
normally occurs only when the roads
are slippery.
An automobile wheel rotates and
progresses over the highway in but
n direction or plane. This direc-
ton for the rear wheels is determined
by the front wheels under control of
the driver. While the rear wheels grip
the ground and rotate they control the
direction of the car. However. as
soon as the rear wheels are locked by
the brakes they begin to slide and as
they slide sidewise practically as cas-
lily as forward, they lose the power
to direct the car.
Little Friction Locks Wheels.
1t takes comparatively little brake
friction to lock and slide rear wheels
on slippery roads because there is
little friction between the tire and the
road surface. When once the driving
wheels begin to slip the car is kept in
motion by the force of inertia acting
at the cars center Of gravity or mass.
This forward motion Is opposed by the
resistance of all four wheels on the
ground, a resistance that is greater In
the rotating front wheels than in the
sliding rear wheels. Unless the COM
bined ground resistance of all wheels.
tending to stop the car, acts on the
same point as the force of inertia tend
ing to carry the car forward, there re-
suits what is called force couple"
which causes the car to skid or spin
around.
After the wheels once start to slip
a very small force couple will pro-
duce skidding. and the skid distance
Is dependent upon the magnitude of
the force couple" which In turn de-
ponds on car speed and weight. Turn
ing the front wheels In the direction
of the rear wheel skid helps to reduce
skidding because 1t reduces the magni-
tude of the force couple" Also perl
odically releasing and re-applying the
brake so the rear wheels can get a
grip offsets forward slip and conse-
quent side skid.
Ways to Prevent Skidding.
Two means are employed to prevent
skiddlng In motor vehicles. The use
of nonskid or rough tread tires and
of anti-skld chains. Nonskid tires are
designed to give forward traction and
to prevent side slip. AS long as there
is Traction the rear wheels will turn,
n as long as the rear wheels TURF
there will be no serious side slip, I'M
less the front wheels are blocked.
Nonskid chains accomplish the same
purpose as the nonskid tire tread, that
is. give additional traction and reduce
side slip. Nonskid chains should sup
plement nonskid tires only when road
conditions absolutely require them.
