PLAN FOR FUTURE GROWTH Reasons Why Town's Development Should Be Looked To Many Year? Before lt May Come. This is the spirit of the publication, btu under the heading "Prevision, Pre vention and Preparedness" the editor lays down certain principles that apply generally and will be repeated in all sorts of variations at the joint housing and planning conference. These prin ciples rim as follows, and are worth (ploting: "City planning is the exercise of municipal imagination. It is the sci entific and expert vision, of inevitable city growth and the preparation of plans to provide for that growth. It ls municipal prevision, municipal pre vention and municipal preparedness. "City planning is the civic sense that refuses to build today what must be torn down tomorrow: that refuses to believe that the future will not be greater than the past ; that refuses to act on the theory that the growth of ten years gone by will equal the growth of ten years to come. "City planning is the wisdom that insists the distrust of the future in sures distress in the future; that doubt of future growth insures beyond doubt an unhealthy growth; that lack of preparation for growth means future expense in correction of unregulated growth. "City planning Is economy. It is not the economy of doing without. Doing without is not economy. It may be ex travagance. A city that does without parks and playgrounds in abundance ls extravagant in life and health. A city that ignores an opportunity for the acquisition of the things that make for health and happiness may lose the opportunity altogether."-Minneapolis Tribune. ? ONE'S OWN PLEASURE FIRST Something for Man Who ls Going to Cultivate a Garden to Keep in His Memory. Do not seek to set the world on fire, the neighbors to talking, or the pas sersby to wondering. Garden for your self alone, for we should garden for pleasure only and if we stray tar from this fundamental it were better we should not garden at all. Do not de sire too much, but build simply, yet have every desire carried out as f?r as you may, for the narden must be yours. It' it is buSt to accord with another's taste it were better to sell it to that oilier and build the next one for yourself. The home garden is for the affections and if it is well ordered it will satisfy and insofar as you are satisfied you have succeeded. If you have built according to anoth er's ideas the garden is not worth the while to you. Therefore we should garden for pleasure, for contentment of mind, whether we grow cauliflow ers or carnations. Grow tin- very best Howers you may. not necessarily the best kinds, but the best of their kind. Do not spend money for rare or costly material. It is far better to grow a splendid geranium than a sick ly orchid. And look ever to quality rather than quantity. If your taste runs rather to fruits or vegetables, rather than to flowers, indulge it. You are to garden for yourself, not for the rest of us. Trees for the Home Garden. Trees about the house should have their uses. In some cases some are needed for ornament alone, but these : generally should be near or at the rear, serving as frame and background, one or botli uses being sufficient for plant ing. Some very showy Howers are borne on trees anti occasionally a sky line is needed. Hut trees are for shade, not always to be cast for man's direct benefit, but shade for.other plants; or to aid in the conservation of moisture for other plants. Perhaps a windbreak is needed and the matter of protection is the tree's strongest recommendation. Therefore when planting trees on the home grounds plant first where actual ly needed ; you may not find place for more. In a small gajden few or no trees should be used ; one or two is sufficient. The place should be framed ?or outlined with shrubs. Keep Roof in Repair. If roofs were repaired periodically, the house owners' expenses would bc a gre .t deal less. A large number of people neglect the care which should be given to the upkeep of their roofs, consquently they become damaged be yond repair, and the owner is com pelled to go to the unavoidable ex pense of paying for the installation of ftew roofing. After heavy rainstorms, especially in the spring and winter months, the roofing should be thoroughly examined far leaks which may develop into trou ble causing a waste In the material and result in a great deal of damage te the interior of the home. If You Want a Clean Town. Let's not overlook the fact that a clean town depends much more upon the individual home than upon clean np campaigns. Every citizen wants a clean, healthful town. Then let every fellow clean his own property, then ask h's neighbor to do likewise. But ?OE't ask' the neighbor to do it first Silsbce Signa?. "Don't Put Off I Tomorrow What Be Done Today."
