Entrances Into ToUn
Should Be Attractive

II Is q fact that there is no lack Of
beauty along the railroad lines in Eng
land, France, Germany and other
places. Liberal planting of grass and
shrubs, either by the railroad or the
various municipalities, has transformed
these railroad lines into lanes OF
| beauty.
The aim of American civic authorf
ties should be to make the rallied high
ways of the country as attractive as
any of those in the old countries. Par
ticular attention will be given to the
approaches to towns. The idea is
spreading rapidly. The American
Railways Development association has
passed resolutions recently to further
the aims Of the real estate men by
cooperating with them in this i'm
portant work.
Committees have been organized In
New Orleans, Milwaukee, Duluth, At
lanta; Erie and Lancaster, Pa;
South Bend. Dayton, Des Moines;
Trenton, n. j.; Providence, r. l.;
HVeAPoit, ~. l.. Ddue lily, rld., Nai
rem, Ohio; Mishawaka, Ind; Kanka-
kee, H.; Madison, Wis. Little Rock, |
Ark; Arkansas City; Ogden. Utah;
Casper, Wyo.; Albany, Ore, and Pasa-
dena, Venice and Riverside, Cal.
They will urge upon the manufac-
-urer located along the railroads the
advantages to him, his business and
he town of keeping his factory yard
is clean and attractive as 1t Is eco
lomically possible.
The plan calls for new station signs
placed. Besides the name
t the town, 1t will give the total pop
lation, real estate and business
'ealth. and the towns chief industry.

am not one WHO believes that al
Of the live STOCK IN South Caroffni
should be pure bred. The Idea Of al
pure breds is a beautiful theory which
does not work out well In practice.
On the other hand, do not believe
that we should continue to produce
scrubs, for they DO not bring good
prices On the market.
The most economical, sensible,
and profitable plan ID to use tho ma
tive females and pure-bred sfres Tho
natives are acclimated, hardy, and used
to cleaning their living from the pas
lures with little or no additional feed
In the southern part Of the state thou
sands Of beef cattle, sheep and swine
survive and reproduce on the grasses,
roots, tubers and mast, which grow
30 abundan1y.
From the mating Of the purebred
sire and the native females we get
offspring which Will utilize the ma
tive feeds and develop into individuals
which will bring fair prices on the
market
Then comes the question, How many
pure breds do we need? The answer
follows that we need enough pure
bred herds to produce the pure-bred
slres necessary to grade up our ma
uves.
Along with improved I've stock must
come better feeds and improved meth
DDS Of feeding and management The
system Of breeding as outlined above
Will improve the live stock as rapidly
as We are able to produce feeds neces-
sary for better live stock and acquatnt

which even high grades must have.
The above statements should not be
nisconstrued az arguments against

hey are In its favor. II this system Is

EMELINE'S DAYS

Emellne lives quite far north an
her life there. She lives with he
daddy. and mother and brother, an
on the farm there are many animals
In the winter 1t gets quite cold, s.
Emeline wears heavy wooden stocking
which her grandmother, who live
quite far east, knits for her.
Sometimes she knlts them for her
self, too. for she is very capable
When the autumn comes she knits her
self pair Of skating stockings which
are very warm, and little toque.
Then she doesn't feel cold, but enjoys
the sharp, fine, clear air.
When the autumn comes the Ice be-
gins to cover the ponds and skating
Kinks, and Emeline and her brother
can hardly wait until 1t Is hard enough
to stand on.
Emellne's favorlte color Is brown,
for she thinks that Is so cozy and
warm and soft and beautiful a color.
For best, she wears a brown hat and
brown coat and brown dress.
In the autumn, before the snow
comes, they finish threshing, and Eme-
line calls 1t winter before those who
lived further south of her would think
of calling 1t winter. They would be
saying that winter was on its way and
would come before long, while Eme-
line would say that winter had come.
In the winter there isn't much work
on the farm. Emeline and her father
milk the cows in the morning and at
hight. and look after the calves.
Emeline has a pigeon which began
sitting on two eggs even after there
lad been slight fall of snow.
Emeline said she thought the pigeon
must be crazy not to mind the snow,
ut the pigeon evidently knew her own
usiness.
Sometimes one pigeon would sit, and
hen the other would take the place

CITY WORKERS WIN.
SALARY INCREASE
Employees at Atlanta Form
Union and Win Fight for
Higher Pay.

ATLANTA, December 12.-Firemen /,
policemen, school teachers and other
city employees here have formed a
union, and the aldermanic board and
mayor of Atlanta will pass within a
few DAYS on the ordinance, already
passed by the city council, designed
to put the salaries of municipal en-
ployes on level with those OF trade
unionists in other lines.
The ordina nee passed by the coun-
Gil increa Sc the salaries OF fire fighters
by S35 a month, or n total of $117 900
a year for the force, and three other
mea sures provide increases for city
employees totaling S700, 900 year.
To secure the increase for the fire
men the union called for the first ref
erendum in the history of Atlanta
and, with the question of salaries put
ND TO the voters. won the election by
5,645 to 1908, carrying every ward in
the city except the most aristocratic
one Altogether the union showed so
much strength in this election that the
council met Immediately afterward
and voted the same increase for police
men together With two other ordi-
nances boosting the pay of other city
employees. one provides flat in
crease of 10 per cent for all employees
and officials now receiving between
$1,000 and So. 900 a year and COR an
increase of 10 per cent for all EN-
ployes and officials now receiving
more than 5000 a year.
Nothing has been done a s yet as TO
school teachers salaries, but that, 1t
is stated, will be the unions next step.

ably the oldest, i'm respect to evolu-
ton. OF all birds living today and a
close relative OF the extinct flying
creatures which bridge the gap be-
tween birds and reptiles. The speci-
men at the Zoo was the only one in
the United States.
1t never took we'll to captivity here

its life prolonged for the past three
years. 1t was flightless bird with

They are rare and can be sent out
OF the country only with the express
permission of the Australian govern
ment, which grants this only on ex-
traordinary occa sions. DR.. Mann Is
confident, however, that a pair can be
obtained. especially il Congress passes
the item approved in the District
budget for a new birdhouse at the
Zoo. which would make living condi-
lions for rare birds much better and
increase by a big margin their chances
of life.
The kiwi has been the pride Of the
collection and has been given the very
best accommodations possible. When
ever 1t caught a slight cold and be-
gan TO NOPE there has been great
anxiety. On former occasions Mr..
Blackburn has been able TO keep it

Disappointment Meets
Southern Negroes

Negroes who left Georgia
and other Southern States for
the East, North and West, hop
ing 10 better their conditions,
have failed to find the welcome
and GOOD times the expected.
While wages were higher in
the North than back home, the
negroes have employment con-
ditions irregular and living con-
ditions quite different from
what they wese led to expect.
Even members Of their own race
in the North and Las show lit
tie inclination to associate with
the Southern Negro.
A great disappointment met
the negro who hoped to find So
cial equality in the land above
the Mason and Dixon line, as is
evidenced by what happened in
Detroit a few days ago. A news
story from there states
Five thousand, men, women
and children living in the eXclu-
sive Grand River avenue resi-
Dental district participated in a
hooting, stone and brick throw
ing demonstration in front Of
the expensive brick dwelling at
1888 Spokane avenue, which ulti-
mately drove from the house its
owner of but a few hours, Dr.
Alex Turner, a negro.
Two platoons Of patrolmen and
squad of mounted police were
helpless before the crowd, which
choked the street for a block and
held up traffic for two hours.
As the negro left the house
with his family under a strong
police escort a volley of bricks
and small stones smashed the
windows of his costly chauffeur
driven sedan. lie was wounded
over the right eye.
Steps have been taken by
group of Detroit citizens to re-
purchase the property which the
negro doctor had quietly pur-
chased from. a real estate man.
The South IS the negroes nat
ural home. His opportunities
are as bright here as elsewhere.
He is known and understood
here. The high wage Is elusive
and when secured, Is eaten up
by higher living expenses. Here
he is among friends-white and
black. There he is a stranger
in a strange land.

Where Rights" Clash
With Mathematics

The long-predicted two-story
streets have arrived Chicago is
building two of them as an expert
meut. They will, Of course, relieve
the situation little.
Three-story, and then four-story
streets will relieve it still more. We
shall have them all.
But even 10-story streets will not
be enough, if we persist in erecting
40-story buildings.
Even American "individua;
rights" can not buck the laws of
mathematics.
1t may be the fright" Of every
landowner to build as high as he
finds individually profitable, and Of
each Of his tenants to drive his indi-
vidual automobile to work, and park
it in front Of his office.
But the multiplication table cares
nothing for rights" 1t is interested
only in possibilities and necessities.

T roElibitioE7 and
Politics

Millions are being expended
each year in an effort by the
Federal government TO enforce
the dry laws. One prohibition
enforcement chief is fred and
another appointed by Secretary
Mellon. The last one is Lin
coin c. Andrews. Ks he as
suned charge and began firing
shifting the forces under him,
word was given out that there
would be no more politics in
the dry enforcement division
The prohi chiefs openly ad-
n.ittcd that pol.tics--the APP
pointment Of men for political
reason8-was the real trouble in
the department. A number of
Federal officials have been in
dicted for graft.
However, the shining bubble
bearing the inscription no poll
tics in the prohibition enforce
ment farces' has burst. Secre-
tary Mellon let's it be known
that the new prohibition admin
istrators selected by Andrews
must have the approval of the
Senators in the various districts.
The spoils system is back.
The Senators want their friends
at the pie counters. Mr.. Mel
lon and MIR. Andrews realized
that they must have the coop
Grafton Of the Senate and the
only way to get that co-opera-
ton was to allow the Senator'S
to place their friends on the pay
roll.
All Of which is fine 70 rthe
Senator, but hard on those who
must pay the bill.
Politics has had more to do
with the failure Of prohibition
enforcement than any other one
thing.

the deal when a politician builds
