WIPE OUT THE UGLY SPOTS
No Real Reason Why Any Part Of a
Community Should Be Other
Than Attractive.

No careful hOuSekeeper would be
satisfied to have one Of the front door
steps bright and clean and the others
left grimy with dirt and SCOT; to have
one part Of the yard set with attrac-
tive flowers and shrubs and the other
part filled with rubbish, or to have
half the sitting-room floor swept and
the other half Uttered with papers.
A house and yard kept after this fash
ion would indicate slovenliness, lack
Of pride and self-respect on the part
Of the owner or dweller.
Keeping city clean and attractive
is merely job of good housekeeping.
How well is the work being per
formed? An observing army officer
who has been stationed first at one
city and then another states that one
'is strikingly impressed" with the
scant accomplishment of the cities
along the lines of attractiveness.
"Our cities have their show
Streets" he writes, "few having as
pretty boulevards as Kansas City; but
compared to the total mileage such
streets are almost insignificant. Ar
riving at city by rail, one may de-
train at beautiful station, but even
that cannot make one forget the
messy and junk-strewn yards and
streets Travelled through for miles
from the outskirts. Drive in by mo-
tor, and however wonderful the con-
crete beneath, the roadside usually Is
out end greet the arrival. In place
of trees there are several pole lines
carrying hundreds of wires-in short,
no beauty but only ugliness."
How long are the cities going to be
satisfied with their bad housekeeping

22O EGGS IN ONE YEAR RECORD
OF SIX BARRED ROCK PULLETs

Thirteen hundred eighteen eggs from
six Barred Plymouth Rock pullets in
one year is a record to be proud of,
and it belongs to six pullets which W..
j. Murtle of New Castle, Colorado,
sold to F. A. Bart of Las An,mas,
Colorado, last year. One of the pullets
died short tine ago, but the record
was made-practically 22O each during
the year.
Mr.. Murtle started a few years ago
with one hen and one cockerel for
which he paid $25 each. BY sticking
to the same blood, culling closely for
type, color, eggs and vigor, he has de-
veloped flock Of exceptional produc-

TAKE TIME TO INVESTIGATE
No Reason Why Buyer of House
Should Judge Value Only by
Its Appearance.

Most people buy houses in the man.
ner of the man who ordered blue
automobile. They purchase almost
wholly on outward appearances, so
far as the physical condition of the
property is concerned. Paint, varnish
and newness sell many houses. Very
few purchasers concern themselves
with the invisible construction Of
house or with external evidence of the
nature of the internal work. Yet
what is not seen largely determines
the future value of the property, the
cost of upkeep and the satisfaction of
the owner. The passing years In
evitably reveal the true nature of the
construction
Yet it is not difficult for a home
buyer to find out whether the house
is Of proper and suitable materials
and correct methods of construction,
says an experienced builder The best
way, of course, is to have the house
inspected by some competent person,
but there are certain fundamentals
which anyone may apply for himself
with the probability of being guided
to correct determination of the in
trinsic value of house. Nobody
wants to buy house that will soon
develop cracked plaster, saggng
doors, jamming windows. floors that
spring and crack, unsightly open
joints in woodwork and spaces be-
tween castings, Dashboard and floors !;
leaky roofs, unsightly, sagging
porches, and leaky or spilling cutters,
swayback gables, etc.

USE Of PARKS
FOR FIGHTS

CHICAGO, May est is likely
that within a few days Kenesaw
Mountain Lands will issue this
edict:
Hereafter no baseball parks in
the major leagues can be used for
the purpose of staging boxing con-
tests"
The likelihood is that the high
commissioner of baseball will voice
his rule in time to halt the staging
in the Polo Grounds, New York, Of
the Wilde-ViIla battle, slated for
June 16, for the worlds flyweight
title.
This is the story which is presum-
ed to explain the secret visit of
Lands to New York.
Lands went to New York follow
ing a complaint made to him by
Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pitts
burgh Pirates" commented a per-
son familiar with the issue.
"Dreyfuss is said to have inform
ed Lands that the Yankees action
in permitting the Milk Fund bouts
cost him between $4,000 and $40, 900.
THE Pirates played the Giants
that afternoons Saturday. The
crowd at the ball game was esti-
mated to be at least $4,000 under
what it might have been If the Milk
Fund bouts in the Yankee ball park
had not conflicted.
Furthermore, Lands has been in
formed that it is a violation Of the
boxing law of New York State for
any one to permit pugilistic en-
counters to take place in the ball

" HE opportunity exists in Bos-

there was little excitement. His
name is used whenever possible,
but Boston fans are hard-boiled

place much stock in Mathewson's
power. Furthermore, Mathewson
is a New York hero, not a Bos-

Boston when he was a player?"
