Davey Tree Surgery executed by Davey Tree Sur¬ 
geons, prevents serious storm injury to trees. 
Read this letter! 
“In regard to the trees which your men worked upon a year ago for the 
writer, at Louisville, Ky., will state that the majority of these were large 
beech trees. During a storm this spring a number of trees on my place and 
in my vicinity were badly damaged, but none of the trees fixed by your men 
were damaged in the least. They all look much better this Spring than 
before they were worked upon. I am very much pleased with your work. 
Yours very truly, 
May 15, 1913. R. M. CARRIER.”

“We’ve got $25,000 worth of gilt-edged 
bonds and stocks, mostly the former, in 
the safe deposit,” explained Mr. Spence. 
“It brings 11s in not quite five per cent. — 
about $1200. I made $6400 dear last 
year — total income, $7600. We pay $100 
a month for this gilded cage we live in— 
six rooms and a bathtub, with janitor tips 
extra. The maid is $25 a month, or $300 
a year, and the boy is $15 a month. We 
pay for their food. There was a total of 
$230 a month last year for living, and 
$1600 for your clothes, my clothes, the 
children’s clothes, their school and inci¬ 
dental expenses. Life insurance, amuse¬ 
ments, our trip to the shore, and enter¬ 
taining, last year cost us $1200, and the 
balance isn’t worth mentioning! We 
spend every cent we get, and all we get 
out of it is a roof and three meals and 
some doubtful fun. For all my pretty 
green and gold certificates in the bank, I 
get—this!” and Mr. Spence waved his 
hand about the room. “It’s an abnormal, 
unnatural way of living, and I vote for a 
change!” 
“Why, John,” said Mrs. Spence. 
“You’ve always been against commuting.” 
“I know it — I know it,” agreed her hus¬ 
band. “But I’m changing my mind. I’m 
losing my grip. I haven’t any memory any 
more! I can’t keep track of my appoint¬ 
ments. T almost got run over to-day — 
look at my hand,” and he held it out. “Oh, 
never mind, it isn’t anything — but I can’t 
stand this stort of thing. With an income 
not bad for a young chap and that nest 
egg put away where it won't run off, 
seems to me we ought to get something 
more out of life than the right to ascend 
eight floors in a none too good apartment 
house, and spend our spare time worrying 
about money. I don’t want to turn 
farmer, but I would like to have a home!” 
Dorothy and Larry came in just then to 
say good night, and the discussion was 
dropped. But the idea was started, and it 
grew to such an extent that it was not 
long before Mr. Spence was taking after¬ 
noons off to go to look at suburban places, 
and his wife was planning the simpler 
clothes her children could wear when they 
attended a “small town school,” and the
