EVERY YARD TO HAVE GARDEN!,
Writer Urges Importance of Move-1

Members of the Community.
One of the first necessities, snys Dr.
John H. Klnley In n recent paper on
gardening, Is to arouse Interest In tho
work among the young people of the
community, but fully ns Important as
Ibis Is securing tho co-operation of the
parents. It is |iilto necessary for the
entire success of this movement that
the older people not only realize the
Importance of Increased production t
during the coming year, but that they j
also; take nn active part In the pro- j
ducfion.
It Is especially Important thut only j
good seeds itnd good plnnts be used.
Therefore, those who are In chnrge j
of this work should see to It that !
those having gardens be referred only j"
to reliable firms for seeds. In order |
that lark of cnpltal may be nO handl- j
cap to those desiring to take up the
work, there should be provided and !
administered n loan fund for those 1
who need assistance In buying ma- ;
nure, hiring vacant lots or large gar- !
den plots, nnd In paying for plowing
and harrowing same.
Now Is the time to deal with next

ADOPT CITY-MANAGER PLAN
Twelve Cities of Texss Have Pro
claimed Allegiance to That Form
of Clvlo Government.
Of the 81 cities In tho United States
thnt have adopted the city manager
tplnn, or some ifedlficatton of It, Texas
jeads with 12 cities. Texas was tho
;father of the commission form of gov
ernment Idea, nnd seems destined also
to lead In tho movement to adopt tlir
city-manager plan. The following
Texas cities have adopted the plan out
right: Amnrillo, Brownsville, Denton,
San Angelo, Taylor, Tyler, Ilryon,
Sherman nnd Yoakum. Brownwood,
Teaguo nnd Terrell havo adopted
modified forms of tho city-manager
plan. Salaries are paid Texas city
'manager* ranging from 51. 200 to $3,-
000 per year. Salaries outside of Texas
'for tho mmo work run mucn higher.
Por example, tho city manager of San
Diego, Cal., receives SI,OOO per year;
lof San Joae, Cal., s''.ooo, and of Day
ton. 0., $12,300.
A recent bulletin Issued by tho bu
reau of municipal research and ref
erence of the University of Texas con
tains Information about the spread of
the city manager Idea, as well as a
discussion of Its development out of
thp commission form of government,

Jacobean Architecture.
Tho architecture of tho Jacobean
house came through the walls, forming
• background for furniture that In
turn reflected Its motifs. A massive
chimney was usually the most finished
factor In tho room. It bore the man
orial arms.
Celling and walls were a frank con
fession of the house stmeture—hand
hewn beams broke the rough-plastered
walls, giving the mom a vigor and
crudeness characteristic of the times.
Tho gallery was not an uncommon
.feature In this period.
In addition to tho atone fireplace,
the sturdy oak furniture, the wrought
Iron lights nnd tho timbered walla, the
■finer of Jacobean rooms had another
feature—an oriel window broken In
places with colored'medallions.

DRAW UP PLANS CAREFULLYj
Prospective Home Builder Can Not
Afford to Take Chances When
Estimates Are Made.
To the Inexperienced home-builder |
the Tegul side,of the building problem
Is rather complicated. The owner does J
not ulwnys understand the legal!
phraseology of the documents he is
asked to sign, which gives rise to the,
Idea thnt the architect's estimates cun
not be depended upon.
Estimates of any sort are dangerous
and misleading to both parties con
cerned unless both clearly understand
and define the quality, amount and
conditions of the work to be under
taken. All proposals, contracts, bonds
and other legal pupers ordinarily used
In a building contract are quite sim
ple, and the owner can familiarize
himself with their uses with but very
little study.
There are three kinds of estimates
generally used—preliminary, actual
and subsequent. The first named Is
usually made by the architect before
the specifications are sufficiently com
plete to form a contract. The second
Is the estimate made by tho contractor
from plan*" and specifications guar
anteeing his willingness to complete
the .work within the price named,
while the subsequent estimate Is made
by the contractor nnd checked by the
nrchltect for nddltlons to nnd deduc
tions from the terms of the contract
ns set forth In the contract documents.
Csrefuliy drawn specifications are
the best Insurance a prospective build
er can hnvo If it Is necessary thnt the
price named 1* the amount ho can af
ford to pay for tho work. These piuns
should include the exact material to
ho used. Where Incomplete plans are
used, the detnlls are left to the discre
tion of tho contractor, who may or
may not do his best to keep the price
below the amount specified.
So, although. It mny seem less ex
penslvo ut the start to have the archi
tect draw up Incomplete plans. It
should bo borne In mind that tho ultl
mntu result might be n bill of extrns
that would triple the amount saved,
besides putting on tho con
tractor's substitution of poorer mate
rlnl. A thorough understanding of the
legnl documents and a clear knowl
edge of the specifications will go a
long way toward making your home
bulldlng a pleasure nnd a success.
FOR CONTROL OF BILLBOARDS
Municipalities of the Country Are Be
coming Alive to the Necessity of
Rigid Regulation.
In morft of Europe, and In the larg
est South American cities, billboards
are severely kept, within proper bounds,
nnd one Is less struck by thetn than by
the posters which give real scope for
the artists. In this country, Chicago
la perhaps In the vanguard with an ex
cellent brdlnnnce, upheld last year by
the Supreme court of the United
States, making It Illegal to erect a bill
board In residential blocks without ob
taining the consent In writing of a ma
jority of property owners on both
sides of the street, taking out a city
permit, and paying fees of $3 for each
28 lineal feet. In Washington, D. C.,
and Los Angeles, the consent of tho
residents Is similarly required. Otta
wa. Canada, has a very rigid ordinance
for the control of billboards. Slowly
tho movement for proper regulation
will make progress, nnd In the end the
nuisance will be reckoned smong the
rurlons transiencies of American social
history.—New York Evening Post.

The true enjoyment of Ufe is secure
ly anchored to the existence of a group
of sentiments which are wrapped
around every event In life. One of the !
finest—one of the most powerful—of
these groups Is that which Is para
mount In the establishment of a home.
A home which Is not built upon the
foundation of such a group of senti
ments Is no home at all. It la unfor
tunate that very often the establish
ment of a home Involves the consid
eration of conditions other than those
of comfort in wholesome surroundings.
The man of the house must be near
to his work or the cost of land is pro
hibitive where the surroundings are
best. These things must, of course,
be given precedence In some cases.
No matter what enters Into the se
lection of the place of building, too
much care cannot be exercised In plan
ning the home for comfort Pine sen
timents are not ordinarily associated
with uncomfortable surroundings. The
money which Is spent purely for the
purpose of Increasing the comfort of
the homo Is sure to bring returns which
are Inestimable In terms of cash. Let

nipnt and detail* of the Interior and
exterior of the house. Encourage her ;
to "go the limit" In saying what she
thinks "would bo nice." Put moro
features down on the list than you
could possibly crowd Into a house and
when there Is nothing left to be de- |
sired, take plenty of time In ellmlnat- j
lug what Is unnecessary and bring the I
dream down to the plane of reality. |
The result will be far better than If |
everyone concerned hesitates to men
tion their pet desire "because It would
cost too much."
The structural features of the
house should be worked out on the
basis tjiat It Is easy to bufld too large,
but It Is bard to build too well. The
small house Is more easily made com
fortable than the large house. Money
saved by reducftg the size of the
bouse, when wisely invested in nslng
a little better type of construction
or In providing a few additional fea
ture® of comfort for the Interior, will •
give the owner vastly more satisfac
tion thata the pride of owning a "big
bouse."
As an Illustration of what can be
done to make' Mm house comfortable
the design shown In the accompany
ing perspective view and the plan has
been selected. The sice of this house
Is 40 feet by 84 feet 0 Inches. The
exterior la designed to present a home- ,
like appearance, a tittle of the old- ;
fashioned Idea of "home" being clever
ly worked into the design in the shut- '
tered windows and the sharply out
lined gables. The main body of the
house is rigidly rectangular, with the !
long dimension across the front. A .
central projection provides tho living
room extension and the front porch Is |
built as an extension of this part of
the house. The honse Is a one-story j
structure, but the type of roof which ;
has been selected for the design makes
It possible to obtain a large and well
lighted attic. A modern Idea which
la finding quite rapid acceptance Is to
finish such an attic as this with wall
board partitions and ceilings, this
scheme providing additional rooms at
very moderate expense. The lumber
Item for such an Improvement consists
in a few light framing members to
provide a basis on which to apply the
wall board and a frame-work in which
the doors may be hnng.
The exterior appearance of the
house la rustic. The walla are fin
ished with stained shingles and all
windows are provided with shutters.
The roof cornice entirely around the
house Is given rather a wide overhang,
but the edges of the roof above the
gables is held quite closely to the
Walls. A large brick chimney projects
through the roof Bear the |>eak of
the lutenecting gables. This roof Vis
very effective. Its appeal probably rent
ing in the alight suggestion of the
colonial style of architecture which
has become so popular during recent
years. This suggestion Is carried
through the entire design and Is one
of Its strongest recommendations. The
perspective view ahowa awnings In
stalled on the porch and front win
dows. These awnings are very desir
able Is summer since they serve to
make a Uttle summer parlor of the
porch, shaded from the direct sunlight
yet bright, cheerful and cosy. There
are a large number of windows In
the walla of this house, placed In such
a manner that their effect upon the
appearance Is pleasantly noticeable.

SILAGE IS GOOD FOR CALVES
Gradual Introduction of Feed May Be
Begun When Animal la About
Blx Weeks Old.
By the time the calf Is six weeks
old we may begin to feed silage, very
gradually at first, using care to see
that It is free from mold. In a little
while the calf will be able to consume
quite n quantity of silage and the
amount will Increase as time advances.
The grain fed to the calf always should
depend In some degree upon the kind
of roughage consumed. There Is no bet
ter roughage than alfalfa hay. It Is
easily digested. The leaves of the al
falfa contain a principle Indispensable
In the development of the young ani
mals and not present In other rough
age, but alfalfa hay alone Is not good
for a calf. Taken in connection with
skim milk the ratlofi is too narrow,
that Is to say, the amount of protein
as related to the carbohydrates and
fat Is in excess of the demands of the
animal. This condition Is corrected
by the feeding of silage and grain like
corn, rich In carbohydrates.
REGULAR MILKING IS URGED
Cow Will Do Her Best When Milked
at Regular Periods of About Twelve
Houra Every Day.
A cow can do her best only when
milked at equal and regular dally pe
riods of about twelve hours each tbe
year around. The full supply of milk
Is not In the udder, ready to be drawn
out before milking time comes, but
ißome of It la produced by the glands
hlurlng the operation of milking. The
[Udder, however, Is usually filled, and
the cow becomes accustomed to this,
but If the operation of milking Is de
layed the glands cease to some extent
to secrete milk, and they will then
not be stimulated to good activity dur
ing the process of milking. This In
jures the glands and produces a de
crease In the milk flow. So It Is very
Important that the milking be done
regularly at as near the same time
each morning and evening as possible.

•These are of two kinds. First, from

NATURE CURES, THE DOCTOR

There is an oldsa ying that "Na

fee," but as everyone knows you
can help nature very much ano
thereby enable to effect a pure in
much ess time than is usually re
quired. This is particularly true of
colds. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy relieves the lungs, liquifies the
tough mucous and aids in its ex
pectoration, allays the cough and
aids nature in restoring the sys
tem to a healthy condition.
