New Playground Law.

The Massachusetts playground law,
recently enacted, is an exceedingly in
teresting piece of legislation. 1t re-
quires every city or town of 10000 or
more inhabitants which has not a suf-
fcfent number of municipal play
grounds to vote at the next election on
the question of establishing them at
the ratio of at least one to the first
10000 of population and one other for
every additional 10000. In other
words, it requires that the proposition
be put squarely up to the people and
that their choice be made binding on
the authorities, says Charities and the
Commons. If the decision is in favor
of the Fairgrounds the act demands
that they be maintained after July 1,
1910; that the "cities and towns may
appoint and determine the compensa-
ton Of a qualified supervisor of each
playground, who shall direct the sports
and exercises therein and it gives to
the city or town permission to set
aside for playground purposes by vote
Of the council or selectmen any land
owned by it or to raise money to buy
the necessary land.

After the one long, sobbing cry Of

felt a painful thankfulness. The last
appeal would not be to mans justice,

GOOD ROADS TRADE WINNERS.
Chapman, Nans, Fias Found Out How

Chapman, Nana., Fas Found Out How
to Bring Farmers to Town.
The Commercial club OF Chapman,
Kan, has entered on Il trade bringing

After holding several meetings and dis
cussing the problem the members dc
cided that they could do more 10 bring
farmers to town by giving them good
roads than in any other way. The
roads west and. north of the town are
lnarred by stretches of sand that have
been Il severe trial to the farmers haul
ing loads of grain as we'll as to drivers
of motor cars.
The Commercial club at its eX-
pense has placed over the worst parts
of the sand a coating of clay brought
from the hills. 1t makes a solid bed
a foot to eighteen inches thick and
hardens into a smooth roadway. By
this mean the roads approaching town
have been much improved, and heavy
loads have been brought with single
teams where it was before impossible.
"We desire to make this a trading
punt, eAplulllGu Ole VI luc luclCiltlllS,
land it is doing the work. When we
hear the farmers complaining about
the bad roads of some other parts of
East Dickinson county and the rough
streets they encounter. then compli-
ment us on giving them a smooth
roadway to Chapman and on u
streets, which are good for a country
town, we know they appreciate it. We
believe it has helped US in our grain
and stock trade. and it has certainly
been a satisfaction we'll worth while"
The farmers Of East Dickinson are
good roads enthusiasts, but they be-
lieve that the use of the road drag
will do more than any II agency.
Many Of the country roads are dragged
regularly and are models of smooth
ness.

And if Hugh did die, but died too
