This movement, the replannlng of cities, has only begun to take shape in this country In the last few yeara, but already great progreas haa been made, and plana of the moat elaborate and magnificent character have been proposed. The subject is one of such Impor tance In the social, esthetic and prac tical betterment of cities that It is ot vital Interest not only to •the city ad ministrator, the engineer and the arch itect, but also to every citizen who haa the advancement of his city's wel fare at heart. The work of the expert Is to super vise the whole undertaking, to con ceive the design and develop the plan; tp direct the work of the engineering staff and that of the office aa well. He Is the directing head of the whole un dertaking, and working to harmony with the commission, should have a, free hand to develop the best possible plan. In cases where more than one solution of the problem of the city's replannlng Is practicable, he should submit tentative plans for the fur ther consideration of the commission and the public. When the work of the expert has been completed a public exhibition should be held of the drawings and the plans and they should be subject ed to the criticism of the publlo at large and discussed In public meet ings and In the press. The commission should then decide upon the plan to be adopted and the work tljen should be adtually under taken.

The medical profession has always occupied a peculiar attitude upon the question of advertising. A generation ago It would have been well-nigh Im possible to And a respectable phyal clan who would have conaented to proclaim his professional qualifica tions and attainments to the world through the medium of the publlo prints. It waa not considered In ac cordance with "profeaslonal ethics." And this feeling has very largely survived to the present day. ' Nearly all of what may be termed the old school physicians disapprove ot publicity that comes by reason of advertising In the public press. All that is permissible Is the publication of a simple professional card, and even that is In many cases omitted. Is there any good reason for thlsT asks the Tampa Times. Why should the profession be so ex cessively modestT Many very respect able doctors do advertise; but they are discountenanced by their more conservative brethren, and some even go so far aa to term them quacks or charlatans. This Is In most cases unjust, but It springs from a feeling that is hard to eradicate. Other professions are forgetting the conservatism of former days and are utilizing the columns ot the newspa pers for the purpose of attaining that publicity that can be gained so effec tually and completely through no oth er medium. Even the preachers are now using the newspapers to call attention to their special services and to extend to the public lnvltatlona to attend their churches. Lawyers advertise, though perhaps less than the members of any other profeaslon except the medical; archl tects, engineers of every kind—ln fact, every calling and profession Into which human activities are* divided make*use of the modern newspsper to "get Into the limelight" ot publicity and to draw attention to themselves, except the doctors. We csnnot avoid the opinion that this should not be so. The feeling sgalnat advertising Is more a preju dice thsn snythlng else. It Is true that many quacks and Incompetents do advertise; but all who advertise are not by any manner of means quacks or Incompetents, and because a practitioner seeks publicity through the newspapera H Is not safe to dub him a charlatan. It should no longer be considered unethical by the doctors to advertise. It should be left optional with each one to do aa he pleases In that re spect without loss bf prestige or stand ing among his aaaoclstes. Many Intelligent and progressive physlclana are coming to recognize that publicity through the press, kept within the bounds of moderation and good taste, may be made the means of great good to the community and to themselves. Advertisers Are In Qood Company. I }ir. Business Men, have you ever thought that advertising put you In good company T It is an old saying that a man Is known by the company be keeps. Then you Join the ranks of the biggest-and most successful merchants and manufacturers of the world. How many concerns can you name In Chicago, In New Tork, In Kansas , City, In Boston, In any large city to the country T Name them and you will notice that all are big advertisers and all are leaders in their lines. Ask your friends to name the most sue cessful merchants they know In the big cities and In each case the name of a great advertiser will be men tioned. The same rule Is true of smaller cit ies and towns. The successful mer chants are the advertisers. Thf ad vertiser stamps himself as one having eonfldenre In himself and bis wares, as one ptoud of his calling and seek ing publicity and the test of patron age.

KAFFIR CORN FOR DRY LAND Crop Finds Its Greatest Use on Fsrms . Where Grown When Fed to Horeee, Hogs and All Stock. Though more or less of a novelty In the east, Kafflr corn Is coming to be the staple crop In the middle west, where the seaaons are long enough to mature It, aays the Farm and Fire side. Frpm July 1, 1912, to March 1, 1918, 331 cars of Kaffir corn were In spected In Chicago. Most of this was uaed for making poultry food, the three largest manufacturers using an average of about 30,000,000 pounds a month. This year the yield Is so much greater that the poultry manufactur ing trade cannot uae the entire erop, and concerns making various mixed feeds will become users of It, Kansas and Oklahoma are the prin cipal Kaffir growing states, but Texas comes In for some recognition, as do also parta of New Mexico and Colo rado. It Is probable that with further selection of the present varieties Kaf flr can be profitably grown both far ther north and eaat. The black-hulled white and the dwarf black-hulled are the principal varletlea. Kafflr finds lta greatest use on the farm where grown when It la fed to the horses and hogs In the head or,, If threahed and ground, to all stock. With the use of combination grinders Kafflr can be ground In the head, and thua fad without threshing. In any case It has to be balanced with a pro tein feed, like cottonaeed, to give the best results. In some casoe Kaffir has been hogged down with good results, but mllo, Its side partner, Is better for this purpose. Kafflr Is the one crop that the farmer In the drier parts of the west can plant and be assured that he can use whether It matures or not. It may be cut for forage after froet and still be good feed, and if It does not seed the fodder Is still good. We have known fanners to plant Kafflr for fod der where they bad no hope of getting seed, and they felt they had the best feed they could possibly grow. Many farmers prefer Kafflr fodder to alfalfa for horses and -cows. We hare known horses to do their spring and summer work on Kafflr fodder and come through In fairly good condition. Kafflr can be ground Into excellent flour for making pancakea, muffins, doughnuts and pastry. DRY FARM FAILURE CAUSES Probably a* Many Farmer* Fall Be cause of Too Llttlo Capital aa * From Any Othar Source. By AI.VIN K ETHER. Colorado AfrlcuJ tunU Coll«(«.) Failures occur In the beat humid or Irrigated eountry. Under nonlrrlgated farming, there will be years when the beat methoda, on the beat aolla, will not be entirely successful. Probably aa many fall, becauae of too little capi tal, aa from any other source. Too little capital prevent* work being done as It ahould be, when It ahould be. It prevent* saving the big crop agalnat the year of small crop. The settler must have domestic wa ter. His first consideration Is there fore, a good well. If he cannot obtain a good well, or If aaable water for stock and household cannot be obtained within reaaonable hauling dlatance, failure Is certain, no matter how fav orable the soil. However, not every person la adapt ed to this class of farming. Bucceaa depends as much on the adaptability of the man and his family to the en vironment, as to any other factor. Health and endurance are absolutely necessary. They must be able to live alone and find their own amuaement. for the most part the settlements are far apart. The man who must be amused, who *nnot endure hi* own company for long periods, baa failed before his time. Misfit and In competence will fall anywhere under the moit favorable condition*, they cannot exist under the regular con dition* that sometime* prevail In the best land, and must be overcome In' order to win success. MEANING OF "DRY FARMING" Principle# Are Vital In Any Region of Small fUlnfsll snd Where Drought Is Even Occasional. Dry-farming Is free from mystery of any kind. It* principles are vital in any region of small rainfall, and valu able In any country where drought Is even occasional. Any farmer on any soli and In any climate' can Increase hl« yields per acre, the quality of his crop and his bank account by the con tinued practice of this new farm method. "Dry-farming" does not mean farm ing without water. It doea mean that the farmer can grow good crops on less water than most people think Is needed, and that, through proper til lage methods, hs can reduce evapora tion and can eetablleh s practical storags reservoir In the soli which will bold the rainfall until be Is ready to uss It. By this means drought can be conquered or Its effects reduced In any country of the world. Conservs Molsturs. Berries draw heavily upon soli mois ture In the maturing of a crop of fruit, and every effort which the grower can make. In dry years, to conserve tba moisture supply will mean a better crop of berries. Mulching the straw berry flsld with straw not only pro tects the berries from being spattered with soil when It rains, bat protects tbs surface from evaporation when the weather Is dry. Blackberry and raspberry fields need frequent culti vation la dry weather to conserve tba molstursL Arrangements have been com pleted for a dairy scljool to be conducted for three days in Row an county.
