An experienced officer reckons half a million tons of metal have been sprinkled., over the Meuse hill sides, 3000 German cannon having fired 15,000,000 shells during the bat lie." Several lines of British trenches on a front , of about one and one-tlilrd miles have been captured by the Ger man 3 southwest of Glvenchy-en-Go belle, it was officially announced in Berlin.

City planning no longer needs de fense, though It sometimes needs urg ing, says the Times of Washington. But rural planning, touched upon at the recent conference of the American Civic association In Washington, need* the sort of propaganda work that city planning did two decades ago. It atlll seems to bo tho Idea that man should look carefully after the city, but that Providence Is directing the develop ment of the country. It was entirely logical. If startling, to have Professor Frank A. Waugh, a pioneer In country planning, advocate that the snme care be exercised in placing couutry roads that la expended in laying out city streets; that the same attention be given to country homes that Is given to tho city block*; tbat tho same Intelligence be expended on arranging a farm aa In laying out a city subdivision. There la plenty of public land, aa he pointed out, In the country where be ginnings may be made. There are the roads, which constitute one.of tbe big gest problem; tho schools and the churches. These need to be studied a* to location and character of construe tlon. But In country, as In city, planning should center about the home It is not exaggeration to say—for health records will bear It out—that tbe aver age farmhouse Is a breeding place for disease. Poor ventllntlon arrangement, light ing, heating, mark tbe average farm house even of more modern construc tion. provision for tho Agricultural employee Is worse, though that for hla employer Is .bad enough. Arrange- fin* social Intercourse are inad equate. The movement to get full value for Investment In sehoolhonsea nnd churches bos outy Just started Moreover, with the growing road build ing the country faces the same condi tion that cities face—having alteration* made In streets at enormous cost which might have been saved by Intelligence In tbe first place. Country plniiuliig Is going to be hard er than city planning, for Its heeds are going to be burder to demonstrate to thofe who will lie benefited. John Jones of the city can recognize Tom Smith's needs when Tom Smith live# Jam up against his wall, but Farmer Jonos will And It harder to enthuse over Farmer Smith's needs when Smith lives halfway across tho state. ' Country plu mi lug, therefore, must be n state problem. It U too big for com munities to handle alone. It requires tlmt wise provision ami supervision which con IK; had only by applying the best Intelligence of a state to that por tion where, with few exceptions, more than half 1U population lives and where that part of the population Uvea which keep* the city man clothed and fed. Taxes and Billboard*. The Imposition of n tax on mural ad vertisements, which Mr. McKenna la reported to lie considering, has produc ed satisfactory financial results for many year* pant In France. Not a bill can lie displayed on any hoarding or In any window Intliut country without having affixed to It an Inland revenue stamp coating at least a penny. Theat rical posters, tarda announcing apart meuta to let ami bills offering rewards for the re")very of lost dog* all come under Hie name law. On printed mat ter the stump* are usually attached be fore printing. Frequent inspection renders evasion difficult. In this eon nectlon our French neighbors put Into operation. JIIHI over three years ago, another excellent Idea which might' well lie adopted in this country. This la the plan they adopted to get rid of "tho hideous advertising hoardings, which then desecrated xo many of the nation al beauty spots. A bllf was brought In proposing a tux of £2 a square yard per annum on nil hoardings under alx yards square, fl a yard up to ten yards, £8 up to twenty, and £lO on those above twenty. If two separate advertise ments appeared on the same boarding, the tax wax doubled-. If three, trebled, and so on. The bill was introduced solely on artistic grounds and was pass ed with the enormous majority of COO votes to 3.—London Chronicle. Th» Worst Thing For Good Roads. Perhaps the worst thing which could happen to the cause of good roads would, lie the building of all those now needed with no provision for keeping them up after their completion, says the Fann and Fireside. Xo "perma nent" road 1H permanent In the sense of not needing repairs and upkeep. Some charge for maintenance there surely will bo on pvery permanent road. When issues of bonds for better roads are voted on this toatter of main tenance should be provided for. In many cases the permanent road will be far easier to maintain by the ordinary tax levy than were the old unimproved highways. In such cases the new road Instead of adding to the , local burden will lighten it.
