avenue bus line was requested by the
Washington Rapid Transit Company
In letter received by the public
utilities commission today.
The bus company several weeks
ago asked the commission for an in
crease from s to 10 cents in the rate
OF fare and was turned down. The
company does not mention rejection
of the appeal for a higher fare. in
connection with its request to drop
the Rhode Island avenue line.
The application does state, how
ever. that this branch of its system is
being operated at a loss. The method
used by the commission in fixing the

Experience in the operation of pub
ic motor passenger vehicles has been
limited. the statement continued
but those engaged in this service are
satisfied that the comparatively short

present in force. The company ear
nestly believes that A study of this
question will result in the commits

charge all repairs and replacements
upon busses in service to operating
expenses, and allowing it to set aside

The Retired Farmer.

Up to recent years it was the am
hitiot of men in all occupations to be
able To retire when they reached an
age when work comes a little hard.
But many who have tried it have
found that their inactive life was not
what they hoped,
They grew old faster than if they
had kept at work at least part of the
time Farming has in the past been
such a laborious occupation, that
many Of the older farmers sell their
properties and move into towns and
cities Probably many who do so
wish they were back again on the old
acres Those who by keeping their
boys at home or securing other sat
isfactory helpers, are able to make
their home permanently on the old
place, get more out of life than they
could by uprooting themselves and
moving into a strange city.

Tbe Attraetive Country Homo.

Recent years have seen splendid
progress in the effort to make COM
try homes attractive. The old time
country place was often sadly de-
fective in this particular. Many
farmers and village people would
leave their tools and machinery lying
around in th~ir yards, and it never
occurred to them to do thing toward
giving their dwellings any charm or
attractiyeness.
Amy home owner can make his
dwelling more salable, more liveable,
and more of an advertisement for
his business, if he will put a little
time and effort into making it more
beautiful. If he is not willing to de-
vote time each year to flower cult
ure, me can at least see that his
grounds are well provided with trees
and shrubs and vines that will grow
year after year with little or no care.
Or he can set out perennial flowers
that viii come up year after year and
give his place a wonderful touch Of
color and life
When a place has been developed
IN that way and if disorder and litter
have been carefully removed, the
change is marvellous Any buyer
would pay considerably more for
such a home, because it would appeal
so much more to his imagination.
People who desire to have business
dealings with owner of such a place
are favorably impressed with the
spirit of Improvement that he shows,
and will believe that a man of that
type viii be more useful and success
full.
The man who thus improves his
place makes it more attractive TO
his family and helps keep them cor
tented. His improvement must IN
fluercc his neighbors and incite them
to do something for Identification
When that spirit gets started in a
town, it will in due time raise the
whole tone and character Of the
place and give it a reputation for
rrogfessiveness. Thus beautifica-
tion ofeven a single home does some
thing for the public welfare.

The Spread Of co.oper,tion.

The spread of the idea of cooper
alton among the farmers is marvel
ous, and in many sections it has the
enthusiasm of a religious crusade.
The country people have perhaps
concluded that God helps those who
help themselves, and perhaps they
can ret ahead faster by organizing
a better distribution system than
they can by any legislation that the
politicians can get for them.
The farmers are waking up to the
fact that The individual is at dis
advantage when dealing alone with
great forces in the distribution mar
ket He needs to unite with others
for the economy OF time and effort.
for the greatest wisdom of policy.
and for the power that comes thru
