ALL ARE SHOWING INTEREST
Progress of City Planning Most Grati¬
fying to Those Wi'.o Have the Sub¬
ject Deep in Minch
The other day I asked George R.
Ford, ^ the well-known city planner of
New York what had most impressed
him along progressive city planning
^ interest nes > an< which l lie replied: the “The
real estate bodies,
particular the more enlightened
£ "*“« “
rlle increasing ntnnber of real es-
ning at the convention of real estate
exchanges at Pittsburgh, promises
more for the wholesome extension of
city planning interests in America
than almost anything that has yet tak-
en place. I also am most favorably
impressed with the interest shown* by
the chambers of commerce and mem-
bers of boards of trade throughout the
country, and the fact that it was even
recognized at the recent convention of
tfce Chamber of Commerce of the Unit¬
ed States of America.”—The Living
Church.
Use Hardy Plants.
In ganMi'ijs of large extebv, such as
usualtf obt«B in rural districts, shrubs
and other plants sikseld ba chosen that
need little case wr attention, Those
fbat really mrwl Ba thi ng more to carry
them through the year alive than the
winter’s rains are ideal, and the nearer
all approach this standard the more
popular 4h4/y should prove, Plants
from similar climates, as Australia
and South Africa, for example, are
sure to prove satisfactory in most
parts of California. These from Japan,
Europe, and the. eastern part of our
own country need too much humidity
both in soil and atmosphere.—Los An¬
geles Times.
Back to the Land,
When the country has schools equal
to those of the cities, roads and high¬
ways comparable to streets and boule¬
vards, when sanitary methods prevail
that a: e equal to those in congested
centers, and transportation of agri-
cutural products from small stations
to the central market is as economical
in time and money as that between
large cities, then, and not till then,
will there be a reai exodus “back to
the land.” When this happy day ar-
rives, and it is rapidly approaching,
large centers of population will be al¬
most deserted at night.
If you can’t smile, resist the ternpta
tion to scowl.

START THE GARDEN SUBURB
Residents Should Have a Proprietary
Interest in That Ideal of Dwel¬
ling Places.
A new city cannot every day be
willed Into existence. A “garden sub-
urb” has been found easy where a
garden city has been too difficult.
It is essential to the success of the
plan that the people who are to live
there should have a proprietary Inter¬
est in it. A company is formed. A
5 per cent dividend is looked for.
Z
shares to a tenant in proportion to the
T^TSS
which thus becomes his own. After
that, if profits from other rents and
other enterprises and from the devel-
opment of the “suburb” still accumu-
late, the tenant receives his share in
cash.
The garden city is not an experi-
ment. It is a fact. The garden sub-
urb is not an experiment. It is full
work. The old world lias shown us
what wa can do.
Training Building Officials
Facillties are now provided in every
large city and important center of
population in Germany no,t only for
the technical and business training of
builders, contractors, building me-
clianics and construction engineers
but also for the instruction of pro!
spective ,vtuoi building inspectors and
public ... Officials, to Whom w,ll be in
trusted the enforcement of state and
municipal regulations relating to
ings and construction operations of all
kinds. .

“I’m so sorry!” exclaimed the sym¬

"Hurt myself!” responded Uncle

“So ) heard.”
“One of the yachts has eight letters

“Yes, I know that.”
“Well, what do you think are the

Many of flic farmers arc beginning to
realize that there is an unlimited and
never-ending market for fresh meats,
and are branching out into cattle and
hog raising. Slaughter pens and packing
houses have been established at eonven-
5en t centers. The city council of At-
l nn t a has recently adopted an ordinance
permitting the shipment of fresh meats
from Georgia points into Atlanta, under
certain restrictions winch can, without
inconvenience, be complied with l>y the
farraers and producers. The people of
Savannah and that vicinity have, for
time, benefited by a similar law.
Other cities in Georgia,, where city laws
P™Mbit the bringing in of fresh meat
shipments will no doubt, see the wis-
dora of adopting similar modifications
whereby the farmer may he permitted
to market such products in the nearest
city, thus minimizing transportation
cost.
Georgia abounds in rich and fertile
soil, from the foot of the Blue Ridge
mountains to the Atlantic coast. It

As a result of industrial work around

cumbers and potatoes were grown

and September, and shipments will

Because the individual farmer cannot
afford expensive storage facilities, he
must dispose of the greater part of his
crop when it matures, either to people
