NEED FAIRGROUNDS
THAT ARE NEARBY
Many Small Places, Is Z. 4.
Weller's Idea.
FAR OFF PARKS GOOD; BUT
Car Fares and Other Things Not Avail
able for Distant
Outings.
FAR OFF PARKS GOOD; BUT

"a large number Of small Fairgrounds
for the children of the city" Is a part
Of the playground system which Charles
+. Weller, secretary to the Associated
Charities. is especially advocating at
present.
He is in hopes, as are many other citi-
zens interested in the matter, that some
thing can be done this summer toward
giving the youngsters more playing
room.
Many Small Parks.
What / desire to emphasize" he says,
as the need for small Fairgrounds III
public school yards. and in scattered
lots close TO the homes Of the people.
In addition to the larger grounds for
baseball and other sports, which Major
Sylvester wants TO see established In the
Coliseum and Smithsonian Grounds. and
in various suburban places. we need a
number Of smaller Fairgrounds. which
the children can reach easily every day,
without car fare and without getting
beyond the narrow range to which their
parents viii be willing to let the young
sters go alone.
IAN important fact which one soon
learns through experience with either
summer outings or Fairgrounds, is that
hundreds OF children will not get any
benefit at all from a park which Is
located four miles or even one mile
from their homes. In hundreds OF homes
no money can be spared for children s
car fares. The eXertion Of preparing
and organizing her brood OF five or
eight children for an excursion to
distant ground involves so much labor
for many an over-burdened mother as
to be prohibittve.
Distant Opportunities.
Then. too. there is often a lack Of
initiative and enterprise. which prevents
people from taking advantage Of distant
opportunities. Therefore 1t comes about
that the beautiful parks. upon which
so much money is wisely expended here,
are Of little or no benefit to thousands
OF those citizens who most need such
benefits
The local playground Is the peoples
park We should have such recreation
centers connected with every public
school IN Washington. Let US follow
the example Of other cities, which for
bid the erection or use OF any building
as a public school. unless an adequate
playground is provided with it.
AS private beneYolence established
and maintained free ktndergartens until
the public understood their value and
Incorporated them into the public school
system. so the public Fairgrounds Of
Washington must be sustained at first
tributions. Every public spirited citi-
zen will surely be glad to have a share
In starting such an important civic de-
VelOpment."

Wheat Prices
Soar Upward

Chicago, Sept. 12.-At the start the
wheat market was very strong today.
The feature of paramount importance
was the government crop report, issued
late yesterday afternoon, confirming in
a great degree the alarming stories of
damag by rust inflicted on spring
wheat. According to the official fig
ures. the total yield of both winter and
spring weat is 528, OOO, 900 bushels, an
amount claimed to be barely sufficient
to supply consumption. As result of
the exceedingly poor showing Of the
American crop, all European grain
markets were higher. This fact helped
to increase the demand here for wheat
when trading began. In addition, re.
ports form the northwest indicated that
fresh damage by frosts had been infiict-
ed upon the spring wehat crop.
With such startling news at hand
shorts at the opening made franic
effort tocover sales. The demand was
so urgent that initial quotations on all
deliveries were up about two cents
compared with Saturdays closing quo
tations, December showing gain Of
10 to no to &c, at $1.O91a to$1.1OH.
