ence Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, points to defeat of

While conferences of the northern
church, from which the southern
wing seeded in 1874, appeared to

favorable or the project will be de-
feated, Bishop c. w. Burns, of San

As City Grotos, Wise
Planning Is Needed

1t is said with a great deal Of truth
that you cannot keep good city down.
People are attracted to the cities which
have the most TO offer In the way Of
employment, homes, Institutions and
public improvements 1t necessarily
follows that the city which has some
thing to offer must increase in popula-
ton.
But when a city grows it Is not all
gain 1t is the concensus Of opinion
that the larger a city becomes the less
comfort there Is for those who live in
it. As a city grows its workers must
move farther away from their places
Of employment or live In congested
and sunless tenements. Traffic con-
gestion increases with the population
and the problems of government tend
to become more complex None will
deny that after city passes a certain
stage in population the disadvantages
of living in it outweigh the advantages.
The evils of the big city, however,
will not dissuade the civic booster
from working for his greater" city
so as his dream materializes great
foresight must be shown to soften the
hardships occasioned by the greater
population. Cities that want to grow
should at least grow wisely. The time

Call for Similarity

The American home builder Is con-

at least, the whims of public. Duo
to this constantly changing, restless
desire unusual houses have been ere

types, whose equal Is nowhere to be

At the present time the village or

another Italian or Spanish and In still
another Mexican The village idea is
not new one, but the adhering to 4
particular style of architecture for all
the buildings is comparatively new
practice in this country.
The American home builder Graves
community spirit when he erects his
home beyond the confines of the city;
hence the village scheme appeals.
Heretofore, when q parcel Of ground
was purchased for the purpose Of
erecting home upon it the purchaser
had no protection against the posi-
bility Of his neighbor erecting houst

is what happens in most Of our new
