side Of the county have made some
emphatic kicks In the past and their
kicks have been effective. perhaps
more 30 than Editor Williamson Is
willing to c0neede. A survey Of the
county roads at the present time is
said to show that there are more
miles OF good roads In the east ha.f
u the county. according to the actual
need for them and to the population,
than there is In the west half Of the
county. When the boys from Grover
and Raymer and other communities ia
the east side come this way they
naturally travel the main highways,
and are doubtless prone 10 think that
those main highways are typical Of
all highways in this part Of the coun-
". Quite the contrary is true. as a
survey Of the numerous other roads
will show. One does not have to get
very far off the main highways In the
west end Of the Weld county, or in
the east end OF Larimer to find some
pretty bum roads. Moreover, methods
employed by those In direct charge
Of the road construction in eastern
Weld county have not always been
as efficient as they might have been
according To recent checking Of the
situation. Approximately three thous-
and dollars worth Of steel culvert is
said to be scattered about In various
places more or less remote, and II is
estimated that IL would require not
less than ten thousand dollars worth
of labor to place the culyerts and
cover them properly 30 that they
would serve their real purpose. The
Advertiser believes that the present
oard Of county commissioners 10 do

the accuracy OF the vision OF Editor
Hill in much that he states.
We do not doubt that some ineffi-

We would be one Of the five thous.

However, We imagine that we would

Citizens Of Kansas City Have the Right
Idea in Influencing the Taste
of the Public.

Speaking of city Identification. a CO.
ordinate subject with city improve
ments on a S100.oO0.Oo0 scale. it is in
teresting to tote that Kansas City has
a Citizens Anti-Ugly Association"
its object is to keep the town spruced
up. II calls attention to things that
ought to be done TO make Kansas City
prettier and the things that ought not
TO be done that will make it less pretty
than it is.
1t is greatly interested in coming and
in lesser esthetic regulations such as
those that affect b~i1boards. weeds,
tree pruning. and Topsy-like cheap ar
c~hitecture that Jest grows" without
planning.
Its main influence at first is Tropa-
gandist. Precept and preaching is the
idea: bur ordinances are also an aim.
There is much in persuading the pub
lie taste and a single object lesson In
beauty is worth a hundred sermons. In
our own humble opinion, If you want

Two Points to Remember.

If trees and shrubs are 10 be planted,
thev 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 u unpleasant views and
allowing gllmpses 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 fOli-
age. ~coneeGling the unsightly bare
stems Of more upright and taller varie-
ties. And excellent effects may be OBJ
tained by grouping with respect TO flow
ering season and winter appearance;
and even with respect to the color Of
foliage. as great variation exists in the
greens.

MUCH IN THE POINT OF VIEW
"Home Town" viii Not Look Alike 20
the Resident and the Visitor
for = Day.

In the smoking compartment Of a
pullman not very long ago a gentleman
told his fellow travellers a great many
good things about his home IN
deed, he told SO many that one of his
fellow travellers thought he would visit
that town 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 that the representative of the
town whom he had met on the train
had drawn N his Imagination ire
m~endOusly." He may have and he may
not have-it all depends on viewpoint.
To the resident it may have been an
ideal town 10 the stranger il 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
unpaYed streets. lack of street ears.
theaters, and so on, may have stamped
the town TO the city man as undesir-
able for home or business. Tie n
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 ever 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 ii is; the
other had no sentiment in the matter
whatsoever, simply a cold calculated
estimate. Men who create take pride
in their creations. Good home-makers
are generally good town-makers, be-
cause 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 have accomplished those who live
in large cities have to guess at what
they have done-too many find little
opportunity to do anything. SO IN
crossed are they with their own private
business. There's a reason why the
one has sentiment while the other has
nOne.-Grit.
