PATH AT THE PARK.
Merriam PeopIe Will Have as Good
as. Others

Merriam Park has won an enviable reputa-
ton for that public spirit and enterprise that
distinguish community, not only for the
elegance of its homes, but also for the thrift
ness and good taste. displayed in all those de-
partments dependent upon the community as
a whole, as well as upon its citizens individ-
ually, says the Midway News. A handsome,
well built, and well kept bicycle path is today
one OF the most essential improvements we
could desire. Relying upon the amounts sub
scribed, some of our leading citizens have
gone ahead and constructed the most essen
tlal portion Of the PATH but they find that in
order to complete 1t to Summit avenue more
FUNDS Will be necessary 1t seems that there
ought to be no difficulty in obtaining at least
y from each person that owns wheel in the
Park to complete this important improve
ment. This means not only that people are
expected to subscribe, but that they will at
their earliest convenience remit the amount
OF their subscription to the committee in
charge either to A. G. Woodruff F. W. Root
or j. w. Shepard. The wheelmen's associa-
ton, under whose auspices these paths are
being constructed, propose to issue licenses to
all those who assist In their construction, and
Mr.. Woodruff has made arrangements with
the officers Of the association whereby all
who contribute to the Prior avenue path will
receive such a license. These subscriptions
should be paid Immediately, not only TO COM
plete the work unfinished, but TO pay for
what has already been done. No one should
hang back and no one should neglect.

ago, when it was a trife early. Very
few complain of insect damage
Illinois looks the worst Prospect
there now is only a quarter of an av-
erage crop. About half there say 1t
will be total failure. Two-thirds of
the acreage sown was winter killed
Indiana promises only g. trifle over
half crop. Conditions lately worse
than two weeks ago. About one-third
winter killed.

plowed up.
Ohio has the best outlook. 1t now
promises nearly an average crop.
About 10 per cent of the acreage was
winter killed.
Michigan looks now like nearly en-
average crop, but needs growing
weather. Some acreage has been win
ter killed, but it is early to tell def

fair prospect now and has improved
