Why are the school children &c
Versailles deprived of a play ground2
Is land too scarce, too high, or the
city or district too poor? A play
ground is an absolute necessity and
the sooner il is secured the less it will
cost. Get busy on this proposition.
A newspaper man a never very,
creditably represent a town whose
business men do not advertise. He
may howl himself hoarsc Dragging
about the vim, energy and enterprise
Of his town, but If his declaration,
are not backed up by a liberal amount
Of advertising by the business men nt
the town, the world will be slow ii
take his statement as true. 1t takes
more than the unsupported testimony
Of the local newspaper man to prove
to trc'world that his town is the finan-
cial center, the best market, and the
best place on earth to buy goods
his evidence needs corroboration.--
