Attractive Door Yard
Has Monetary Value

Well planned and properly planted
grounds help to make home.
mo lawn is too small nor too large
to be made place of beauty" says
F. A. Aust of the horticulture de-
partment at the University Of Wis
cOnSin, in a new bulletin on "Plan-
ming and Planting Home Grounds"
1t is the choice of plants and the
manner of arranging them that counts.
When certain principles of planting
are followed, a picturesque effect re-
suits, and the home grounds are
constant delight to the family, as well
as to friends, neighbors and passe-s-
by.
'The amount of money required to
make the home gardens attractive
need not be large" says Aust. A few
well-chosen trees, shrubs, and flowers
added each year will result in very
attractive grounds, and will greatly
add TO the value of the property.

Good in Zoning La,vs

Zoning laws should be taken into
builders. They were made primarily
to protect certain districts against
certain classes of buildings. Too
many of our cities have been hit-and-
miss affairs, and it is undoubtedly a
sign of the times that coming regula-
lions have come. In cases where such
rules have been in effect for some
years, the wisdom of such laws is
apparent. Many an excellent residen.
tial neighborhood has been killed by
the creeping in of some obnoxious
commercial nterprise.-Chicago Post.

straight up now with great thunder
Of wings. SekOosew hung tight, his
teeth buried deep in her throat, and
his tiny, sharp claws clinging to her
like hands. Through the air he
whizzed with her, biting deeper and
deeper, until hundred yards from
where that terrible death-thing had
fastened to her throat, Napanao
crashed again to earth.
Where she fell was not ten feet
from Baree. For a few moments he
looked at the struggling mass of feath-
ers in daze. not quite comprehending
that at last food was almost within
his reach. Napanao was dying, but
she still struggled convulsively with
her wings. Baree rose stealthily, and
after moment in which he gathered
all his remaining strength, he made a
rush for her. His teeth sank into her
breast-and not until then did he see
Sekoosew. The ermine had raised his
head from the death-grip at the part

eyes glared for a single instant into

sLef the World KnotU"
Good Slogan for City

The slogan adopted by the Mobile
Bay boosters, ut Can Be Done" is q
good one, but it won't give the mem
bers Of the various committees much
time to go fishing while they are put
ting Mobile on the map as one of the
worlds principal ports. Blow your
own horn is just as true today as
when the slogan was first used. Ev-
cry city in the United States over ten
thousand that is growing today has a
good brass band. Just as a band is
considered as necessary as guns to
every regiment in an army, so is a
city band necessary to put the enthu-
siasm into any project you wish to put
over. Your docks, harbor improve
high school, and the voting of the IL
brary and incinerator bonds, few of
US here in the South know about. But
why hide your good works under
bushel? "Tell it to the world" The
Websterian definition of the word
boom is, rapid rise in price, sud-
den burst of popular favor, to go off
with rush, to push with energy. At
lanta, New Orleans, Omaha, Kansas
City, Seattle and Los Angeles are
bright examples of prosperous cities
that are now building under the direc-
ton of booster or boomer clubs, work
ing through their boards of trade or
chambers of commerce.
The methods employed by the boom
ers are all similar in city boosting. For
the information of those who are not
familiar with booms and boomers as
applied to city boosting: The same
methods are applied that made house
hold words throughout the nation of
popular brands of soaps, chewing
gum, cigarettes, shirts and collars and
other articles in every day use; also
made millionaires of their owners. To
be summed up in one word, publicity
in it's broadcast sense is boom tactics.

Watch Trees That Lean

In the care of ones yard caution

growth of trees and means adopted
to rectify any fault in the trees
growth at the start. Many trees are
inclined to lean in a certain direction
through being forced into that posi-
ton by prevailing winds from the OPP
posite point. and unless braced while
young. it will be impossible for them
to grow upright as they should. 1t is
well that sufficient space be spaded
up around the tree, and the ground
kept worked and properly fertilized.

For several centuries Sekoosew had

Unerringly he launched himself at the
drowsy partridge's throat, and his
