The park will be enclosed by sub

commodation of the public. A baseball
diamond and football field will afford a
place for these games, which have al
ways been popular in this city, which

the encouragement Of amateur athletic
sports. Adjacent to the park on the
east will be the golf links, and the
club house of the Highland Park Golf

interest in outdoor sports.

school of two rooms in the center of
the township, one room to be devoted
to high school instruction with a
teacher in charge suitably qualified for
position of that kind. Then the
large aud advanced scholars from all
parts OF the township may be allowed
to go to the center high school instead
of to city schools. In this way the pa
rents will have their children at home,
thus saving their board and sparing
them, it may be, the participation in
harmful sports and pleasures which
lure the youth in the cities.
The new buildings will be erected
this season.

which the school ever had. He won
state medals in the contests one year.
Jerry Wolfe was a sprinter and three
years ago was one of the best foot ball
players in the state and won some
games for the normal by his ability to
pass all tacklers successfully. Det-

as on the diamond. Glen Seerley is
this year q member of the State Uni
verify team. Harry Cotton is winning
a reputation as the catcher for the
Ames team this year and Hoover before

And then a woman hurled
Herself before the grated door
That barred him from the world.
As II touched by a wizards wand

But saw a child clutch at her hand
As If she still could save.

One word God gave to hold all men
