YOUR TOWN.
Ial towns are not made by men afraid
Ijenl some one else g'ts ahead;
When everyone works and nohody shirk
You can raitie a town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake 1
Tour neighbor makfs one, too.
Tour town will be what you want it to be,
It isn't your town it'a you!
If you want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind of a town you like, ,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
Tou will only find what you left behind,
l-'or there's nothing that's rnally new.
It's a knock at'yourfislf when you knock
your town,
It iHn't your town, 11 'r you!

CONSTRUCT POOL IN GARDEN
In Added Attractiveness It la Worth
All the Time and Trouble
That It Entails.
A very Interesting find attractive
garden pool onn lie made with a little
hard work and ut a small expense,
and where the garden Is sufficiently
large the pool adds wonderfully to the
artislic make up.
In an amateur's garden recently til"
owner was caught in the set of put
ting on the finishing touches of tin
pool and its decorations.
The garden was in the rear of thf
house and the pool was in the li-f I
hand corner at the rear. Not in I'm;
extreme rear corner, as hack of it
was a bed of iris arranged in semi
circular form in front, bordering a
gravel walk. Hack of this was a bi d
of peonies and the corner wus to be
filled later with salvia, backed with
caiman.
- The gardener had dug the pool him
self. It was about ten feet in diam
eter and two feet six Inches deep. In
the bottom stones had been laid anil
the bottom and side covered with cement.
A rockery was made of a lot of
large stones encountered in digging,
with a few brought in from a neigh
boring field to complete the work.
The rockery was not In the center, but
to one side at the rear of the pool.
An iron pipe led off to the gutter in
the rear for nn overflow.
The bottom was covered with odd
stones that had been selected for the
purpose on various motor trips In the
country and gave a natural appear
ance to the pool.
A few hnndfuls of frogs' spawn bad
been gathered and placed In the pool,
ferns and rushes had been planted
and water lilies were to be set out
later, after which a few gold fish will
be added.
There Is no fountain or Inlet to the
pool; the water is supplied by the
lawn hose.
This idea can be followed by gar
deners, who find that the pool and
bog garden not only ndds to the beau
ty and Interest: of the garden, but it Is
a source of considerable pleasure as
well.
are not looking for beauty parlors.
The thrifty little songster Is in con
stant danger from the cat. It is
claimed that in the state of New York"
there are five cats to every farm. It is
n wonder the cry Is coming from the
various states all over the Union that
plants, trees, and vegetables are be
ing taken, whole crops of them, by
pests, when the family cats persist
ent bird killers are kept and en
couraged. Give the wild birds a chance
by assuring them protection and an
attractive nesting place. Note how
they repay you. A free orchestra,
with your fruits, flowers and garden

Nothing Really of Greater Moment
Than the Question of Proper
Transportation.
A city Is a big business Institution.
Not merely In the limitless It under
takes of Its own, but rather in the part
it plays in the business of the whole
community.
Take the comfort of Its citizens, for
Instance. During the war the lumber
men found they had relatively little
blmr trouble in caimis In which it we'
possible fur families to live a normal
wholesome II To. Schools, churches,
medical attendance, amusements aT
entered Into the labor problem.
What was true in the camps Is true
in every city. The comforts available
fur people help to determine the bus!
nevs possibilities of the city.
Another Important business factor
is that of Hip traffic system. In addi
i'oii to street railway transportation.
th'M'c must be iiilcnuiite tralllcways to
lirmlte business. It must be possible
fur people to get quickly and easily
from one part of Ihe city to another
red It lined be possible to deliver
goods readily.
Would a large automobile plant be
id le to turn ou Its enormous proilue
fon of cmis dally If It were cluttered
up, If Its piissagewnys were relatively
i s narrow nnd congested as those of
lianas 'lty? Kansas I'lty Star.
Es'Jion'nns Little Better Than Serfs j
to the Cermans, Who Own Nino
Tenths of Land.
Iihoii'nns. or Esths, who have re
pulsed repeated attacks from the Bol
shevik!, and recently drove a force un
der Trotzky to ignominious flight, are
described by Dr. Edwin A. Grosvenor
III a National Geographic society bul
letin as follows:
The Esths are a FInno-Cgrian
people, once savage and adventurous,
terrifying the Baltic with their piracy,
constantly attacking and attacked by
the Danes nnd Swedes. Their tiunl
subjection by the Hi-others of the
Sword arid their enforced acceptance
of Christianity crushed their spirit
nnd rendered them serfs to the Ger
man musters.
The Esths outnumber the Germans
In the old province of Esthonia 2'i to
1; yet nine-tenths of all the land Is
held by Germans.
In the former province of I.lvnnbi
the Esths constitute nearly half the
population, while the Germans ai'"
less than one-lifteenth. There the land
Is divided Into estates averaging over
ten thousand acres in extent, none
nwneij by an Ksth or Lett hut almost
Invariably by a German.
The Itussian government r.t times
endeavored by agrarian laws to nlle
vla'e ttip condition of the peasant.
Such efforts failed against the stolid I
resistance of the great proprietors. I
The Esths have clung devotedly to
their national language, the sole In-
herilnnce from their past. They love j
poetry nnd song. Their physical char- i
iietci-lstles are Finnic; their faces ,
short, broad, beardless; their fore-
heeds low, mouths small, arms long,
o::s shi rt. Despite their extreme pov
erty education is relatively advanced.
All l-ul -1 per cent are Lutheran f'rnt-
(stunts.
Since the sudden universal awnken
lug In IMS the Esths have been loss
tent noon national recognition. I'm
ownership in the land Is their greatest
heed.
