How to Build Public Parks.

The CT nc League of Shreve-
port, an organization composed of
some of the most public spirited
and energetic ladies of that city,
are enthusiastically insugurating
public Fairgrounds for children.
They proclaim that they will not
be satisfied until there is one of
these resorts in every city ward.
The citizens are ably supporting
this movement, rs we'll rs secur-
ing and identifying public parks.
Some time ago the city cars
were turned over to the Civic
League and fair i''conductresses"
collected the fare. This unique
public amusement was supple
mented with music and refresh
ments, dispensed on the Court
House square. THE two functions
netted the ladies over $500.
These handsome results are
noted to attract public attention
to the need Of just such public
resorts in the growing town of
Winfield. Unoccupied land could
now be procured in several loca-
tions, ut the present time at res
sonable rates and the work of
ornamentlng them turned over e.
the ladies. By the time this grow
ing town would envelope them
beautiful public resorts would be
among the chiefest attractions of
an elegant city.
