During the warm, summer-like days we experience in the spring our thoughts turn (not lightly) to things rural. We long for green fields, shady nooks, the rippling brooks and singing birds. Some of tbese charms are pres ent about every town and village, and If the place be clean and treat the streets well planted, foothill and can yon not too far away, the springtime proves a harvest Mnny do uot care for the extremely dull monotony of our seaside resorts and choose rather the charms of the woodland und pasture, green' and fresh. Lucky the town whose appearance nttracts the summer visitor. A large part of the responsibility for attractiveness lies with the Individual. See that your hedge is trimmed, your feme nnd gate In good repair and neatly painted. Your sidewalk, wheth er cement or gravel (wood is scarcely permissible), should be In good condi tion. The street and gutters In front of your property must be kept free from weeds, paper und other rubbish, nnd all such should bo burned in the yard, uot lu the street. Cut your lawn often, trim your trees nnd plants nnd give nil about you nn 'alive nnd up to date" look. After you have done this see what you enn do to awaken a neighborhood Interest In Improvement it tuny lie you can only organize a "block lientttlful club," or the move ment mny assume dimensions that would warrant the formation of an Improvement society. Civic benuty Is an asset civic ugliness a liability. Which will you choose? UNTIDY PARKS. Useful Suggestion For Keeping Pleas ure Grounds In Order. A good hint for keeping parks clenu Is contained in the following views of a New York man who believes in or der: "I wish that every man or woman who goes into one of our beautiful parks on Sunday morning from now ou could have received the training I did when camping out as a boy In Canada. I was taught to pick up every bit of paper, every scrap of every kind left over from a meal, nnd to put It In the camp tire. And ufter nil the refuse hnd been consumed we always hud to soo to It that the fire was put out so that there would Is? no (lunger of start ing a forest fire. The result of such training Is to muke one careful of othc folks' rights, and thnt would work out here splendidly. "For If men und women who went Into a park on Sunday morning nnd used n portion of their newspaper as a protection from the dampness of the earth would only pick it up and carry It oft with them to deposit It in the nearest receptacle for such things tho general appearance of our pleasure grounds would le Improved Immense ly. It distresses me to see the beauti ful lawns marred by these bits of pa- per nt u time wlieu they ought to look their liest nnd ns they would look all summer long If each Individual would do his share In keoplng them in order." Get Trad by Advertising. The best way In which the merchants in mo towns nun smaller cities rati light the mall order houses is to udver tlve. They know most of their patrons personally, can show them the goods before they buy them, have many other advantages over the mall order house nnd In almost every instance can sell Just as cheap If not cheaper, remarks the Buckeye (Ohio! Informer. If the home merchant lacks foresight and Is too penurious to properly adver tise his goods, why should the publish er exert himself to keep the trade nt home for lihnV If solicitations on the part of the publisher fail to educate the merchant to the fact that be must advertise If he wants to keep up with tho procession, then nothing Is left to the merchant but to learn lu the school of experience, nnd If the teachings of that renowned school are of no effect on blni then there Is noplace for him. and eventually his place In the cotn niervhil world will be taken up by some more enterprising competitor.
