Londscapmg Important Factor
In Original Plans for Home

Landscaping plays on important
part in the original plans for a new
home. 1t is advisable to 60 into great
detail on this subject at the very be-
ginning so that there will be close
harmony between the house itself and
its surroundings.
The nature and scope of landscap-
ing is generally determined by the
type of home that is to be built,
the size and contour of the lot, and
the general surroundings. It is always
advisable to utilize the services of a
qualified landscape architect in effect
ing this detail, and the fee involved
generally is compensated by the econ
omy and arrangement of the grounds,
walks, shrubs. etc.
The home that is constructed dur
ing the late Spring or early Summer
has broad field from which to select
its landscaping features. The original
plan. however. should not disregard
the need for landscaping during the
Winter, and the inclusion of ever
greens. hardy plants, and shrubs is
always advisable in addition to sea-
sonal items.

ADDITIONAL LOTS
FOR BUILDING HIT
Further Subdivisions Are
Frowned Upon by F. H. A.
Official.

Need for the exercise Of caution In
the further subdivision of land until
the present stock Of lots in existing
subdivisions is utilized was emphasized
today by Frederick M. Babcock, direc-
tor of the Federal Housing Admins
tration's underwriting division.
Estimates compiled recently by the
Administration indicate that at the
present rate of utilization the stock Of
residential building lots created dur
ing the last building boom will be
sufficient to meet the needs OF normal
city growth in many cities during the
next two or three decades.
I'VE are proceeding cautiously with
the acceptance of loans in new neigh
borhoods, particularly in those cities
where subdivision development pro-
crossed too rapidly during the
1905" Babcock said. In many GEN.
tiers we are requiring developers to
show conclusively that their projects
are ripe for development.
Situation General.
while the overproduction Of lets
has not been characteristic Of the
building industry in every city, the
situation is general enough to neces-
state the exercise of great care In
approving loans.
I'm cities in which We find q
dearth of good residential subdivi-
sions, we are encouraging builders tc
open new neighborhoods. In other
cities our policy is directed toward re-
facilitating or aiding in the develop
ment OF partially built-up areas This
policy tends to discourage premature
subdivision of land and its accom-
panying evils.
There are instances, even In COM
munities where overproduction is most
pronounced, in which we find 1t wise
to accept loans in new neighborhoods.
Few cities, for example, have adequate
subdivision developments for small
houses, and we have found it advis-
able to sanction many neighborhoods
OF this type"
The need for adequate subdivisions
for small houses has been accentuated,
Babcock said, by the fact that in
many existing neighborhoods. the ex-
cessive cost of Improvements has
driven the price OF lots above the
leves practicable for development with
inexpensive homes.
Orderly Growth.
In other cases new subdivisions are
considered to be justified because OF
the presence of some natural feature
which makes the neighborhood par

CRIMES DIVIDENDS


The gates of the New Jersey state
prison opened a few days ago to
two men and a woman; the woman
to spend the rest of her natural days
within the prison walls, the men
to forfeit their lives in the electric
chair. All three were convicted Of
first-degree murder committed in q
robbery in which they beat an aged
church sexton to death. And all
they got from the robbery was Toe in
cash, gold watch of little value and
several religious medals. Parents of
Kennewick boys might read that to
them with profit, for it is strik-
ing illustration of the fact that
crimes profits are usually terribly
small when they are weighed
against the loss suffered by those
who engage in it. If your boy has
not learned that Crime doesn't
pay" then tell him about these
three criminals who committed
murder for seventy sents and lost
their own lives and liberty. It may
make an impression on youthful
mind that will be both lasting and
beneficial.

A BUILDING TIP

A BUILDING TIP
Here's q tip for those around
Kennewick who postponed their
building or improvement plans in
early spring because Of slight adj
vance in tie price of hardware and
building materials. Prominent con-
tractors in the larger cities are said
to be rushing through orders for
the fall delivery of building mater
1al in the belief that the real tilt
in prices is going to come in 1888. If
the big fellows are of the opinion
that it will cost far more to build. or
make improvements, next spring
than it will this fall, then the little
fellow should profit by the hint.
There's going to be lot of good
building weather between now and
the first of the year. If it is small
job, it can be done as quickly be-
tween now and winter as it would
require at the opening of spring.
Or, in the event it is not conven-
lent to do the work this fall, then
there is still a chance to avoid next
years predicted rise in prices. Buy
whatever building materials you are
going to need now and be on the
safe side.

Any farm can have trees and
shrubs If adapted varieties are
used and the trees are given proper
care. The most important thing,
tree experts declare. is clean culti-
walton. Weeds should never be per-
mitted to sap soil moisture needed
to promote tree growth. The soil
should be kept in position to absorb
all moisture that falls, even during
torrential rains. Varieties that
have shown results are locust, Am.
erican elm and green ash. However,
Chinese elm, box elder and cotton
wood have done well in practically
every section Of the country. But it
is time and money wasted to plant
trees and then leave them to fight
the weeds and insects. Success is
always assured, the experts de-
clare, where trees are carefully
planted, kept free Of weeds within
4 radius Of several feet. and spray

pests.

protect" the city, 5000 japanese
soldiers entered the ancient capital

ulation that the Japanese Army

has been officially declared between
the two nations.

THREATS OF WAR


The fact that Russian army avia-
tors recently made nonstop flight
from their own country to the west
ern coast of the United States does
not mean thing to the average
Kennewick citizen. But when, aft
er the feat is accomplished Russia
boastfully announces that I'VE have
demonstrated Russia,s ability to
successfully attack by plane the
capital of any other nation" then
Mr.. Average Citizen is apt to sit
up and take notice.
Russia's boast sounds very much
as though she is lifting a chip to
her shoulder, and may in time to
come invite this country to knock it
off. And the American people are
not interested In invitations of that
nation. That great war, possibly
still greater one than the world
has yet witnessed, Is in the making,
no one doubts. With Italy, Ger
many, Japan and Russia working as
never before to build up armies and
navies, munition factories working
night and day, it is difficult to see
how war can much longer be avert
ed. That this country would event.
ually become involved also a mat
ter Of general belief.
While no one wants the United
States to stand idly by and fail to
make all necessary preparations to
protect herself, everyone does hope
that way will be found, when the
lid blows off and the Old World
again goes on q rampage, that this
country will be able to remain out
Of It. Threats such as Russia makes
can very well go unnoticed. It is
going to take pretty strong invi-
tation next time to get the u. 8. to
enter into hostilities against any
other nation. But 1t Is comforting
to know that she will not be found
unprepared, as she was in the World
War, and also worth something to
know that her experiences in that
titantic struggle viii serve to stand
her in good stead now.

SUMMER FIRE LOSSES

SUMMER FIRE LOSSES
While the report Of the y. s.
Forestry Department that extensive
forest fires are not so numerous this
summer as last, there is much to
ponder over in q statement from the
same authority that farm fires are
running ahead Of 1887.
The statement comes right at the
most dangerous season of the year,
and at the very time when more
than the usual precautions must be
taken against this destructive men,
ace. Just at this time every section
Of the country Is veritable finder
box. Forests are dry, weeds and
grasses along the highways are
ready to spring into flame from the
tiniest spark. More campfireS are
being built than during any other
month, and more vacationists are
traversing the heavily wooded sec
tons Of the country.
II ever q warning against the
careless use Of matches and cigar
cite stubs was timely, it Is right
now. II ever Kennewick motor
ist is warranted in going to ex-
Stremes to avoid causing a fire in
rural areas, # Is right now. And
the warming cannot be made too
emphatic. Break your matches be-
fore tossing them out Of the car
window. Extinguish every cigarette
stub before dropping it. See that
the camp fire embers have been
smothered before driving away.
Don't bring sorrow and financial
loss to your fellowmen through
carelessneSs.

EVERY FOURTH WORK DAY
Americans must work nearly one
full year out Of every eight-about
six weeks out Of every year-just
to pay the cost Of the Federal gov
ernment," says the United States
News.
when the local and state gov
eminent costs are added to the ex-
penditures Of the national govern
ment, the average American must
work two years out of every eight to
pay the cost of government"
The tax collector gets q cut In

reaches in and takes part of all the
money you spend-for food, amuse-
ment, clothing, train fare, power
service. And his percentage is to-
day greater than it ever was in
peace time in this country.
The Twentieth Century Fund es-
Inmates that total government costs
have swelled to $4,000, 000, 900 q
year. That is approximately Is per
cent of the national income in good
times. When you work four weeks,
the public treasures take your
earnings for one of the weeks.
During the next year or so we are
going to make or break" so far as
the tax problem is concerned. Every

must be checked, from the national
capitol to the city hall. We will have
