The tendency of general adyertising agents to encourage beginners in adl a vertiaing to plunge in their first ex d periments is greatly overdone and its S rtesult often so discouraginv that they i Will drop the whole matter, and it is I1 almost impossible to get them to try T anything. ti The other extreme iu to place a b small ad, in their local papers and a layce the changing of it to the adver- a tiesing department of the paper.

A town that would this year put out a thousand trees on the aid1. walks at comparatively small cost would, in ten years, get an annual re turn of at least $500.06 and each year there would be an increase until the income would reach from three to five thousand dollars annually Enough to morn than pay all taxes of an ordinary size town.
