A CITY PARK? YES.
Local Citizen Makes Comment Upon PROPOSE
ton for Establishing Public Play
Ground.

In your last weeks issue we
notice an article calling attention
to the dire necessity for a public
park at some available place in
this city and. in thinking over
the matter, there have been Sev-
eral things which occurred to the
writer which might be consider,
ed in connection with the prOpoS
ition. The writer is in hearty
accord with any movement which
tends to the advancement of the
interests of this city and of its
people and at some future time
park will be almost a necessity
as suggested but did it occur to
the people that there are mum
Der of things that ought to be
considered in connection with it.
In the first place the city needs
every dollar she can rake and
scrape for the next few years
for the purpose of making inn
provementS in its streets and
Offering fire protection to the
whole city. 1t is true that con
tract has been let for a few
. blocks of water mains for fire
protection only and it is a good
movement but should be much
more extensive but under the
present conditions locally and
otherwise (the people of the city
who know conditions here may
decide the otherwise matter, it
is probably the best that no
greater sum of money is avail
able, at the present time for
such expenditures. The water
supply which will be installed
will not be available, so the writ
er is informed, for the use of
people who live near the water
mains but the long suffering
people will still have to maintain
their wells, wind mills and tower
tanks as of yore for their indivi-
dual water supply. We doubt
the wisdom of the decision be-
cause the water placed in the
tanks and mains will become

then the supply will certainly
not be enough to afford the guam
ity necessary for the proper de-
yelopment of the park PROPOSE
ton. We are not in favor of do
ing anything Of the kind by half,
and if a park should be establish
ed lets do it right and make it "A
place of beauty with all those
flowers, lawns, trees. shrubs and
fountains. fountains that will
guSh forth with streams larger
than the point of a needle. In
the opinion of the writer the park
will become necessary in the
future but at this time there is
too much of a sentiment of /
have done it all and you did
nothing" and until it is eliminat
ed and the people as a whole are
com bined upon this proposition
there not be much doing about
the playground as desired.
Other people must have some
credit for some of the good work
that is being done. Lets have a
park. Yes, but let every citizen
of the town have an interest in it
and then have a portion of the
credit for its success.

Change
Suggested
At Ball

The reality baseball bug, of st.
Paul. is out again with his scheme
for the reformation of the national
game. says an Eastern authority. The
idea OF reality baseball is to have
each base made count toward win
ming the game. That is, II man
gets on first base, II would count one.
IL he advanced to second II would
count one more, etc. The theory IL
that under the present system team
gets no credit for getting runners on
the bases unless they get all the way
around The inventor OF this noble
plan points out the possibility of one
team securing los bases in a nine
inning game, while the opponents did
not get single man to base, and
still the score would be n tie. This
could happen II the first two men up
in each inning could reach third and
then be caught OF their base, then
the bases should be filled before the
third man was retired. That would
make twelve bases gained In each in
ming without run being scored. or
course. this Is the most extreme case
possibly. but II often happens that
the defeated team gets more men to
base than the winning outfit.
According TO reality baseball
scheme every base gained would
count toward the winning of tho
game. Thus n team might easily
win game without having scored u
single run. Such plan would never
do In practice. for II would tend to
do away with teamwork and tho
prettiest features OF the inside game.
and would put a premium on mere
smuggling aud also on reckless base
running. The whole object and pur-
pose of the aggressive game Is to get
runners around the bases II is
tough to see man left stranded on
third. M frequently occurs, but IL
would he twice as tough to sec n
clever and skillful run-getting team
beaten by a club that got more men
on the sacks but could not advance
them and was totally ignorant of all
the best principles OF inside play.
| The mental state of the inventor
of this interesting novelty is shown
by one of the sentences In his pros
pectus. lie says: One glass OF beer
will not make you insane. but the
old system of baseball will when you
are out on second base. One base
that don't count causes insanity
That reads as II the author had been
left on second.

DRY FARMERS At BILLINGS
Fourth Annual Congress Meets There
Next Week.
SCOPE OF THE WORK ENLARGED
Busy Program Marked ont for the
Delegates Who Are Expected
from All over the
World.

The fourth annual session OF the Dry
Farming congress is to be held at Billings,
Mont, beginning October %. and will con-
hue for three days. This gathering will
be attended by representatives of many
states and nations which have the prob
lem Of arid land utilization to solve. From
az beginning which concerned only the
movement to extend the agriculture of the
dry plains OF Wyoming and neighboring
states the congress has grown until it has
assumed an International character.
In connection with the congress an ex-
hibiti0n of the products grown on land
made productive through the science of
dry farming will be hello TN material re-
suits Of the system under investigation will
be there for inspection. =
Broadly defined the purpose of the con-
gress Is 20 discuss and compare methods
for the conservation OF rainfall in the So
called arid regions by the tnlage Of the
soil. Attention will be devoted not only
to dry farming proper but to its adoption
to the. extension Of the productive area in
sections where 1t can supplement partially
insufficient rainfall or irrigation water.
Aim of the Congress.
The aim of the congress looks toward the
advancement OF an educational campaign
calculated to result in making the arid and
desert regions of the world available as
a source OF food supply and the home OF
a great agricultural class.
At this congress a demand will be made
for the more extended cooperation on the
part OF the national government and the
states Interested. An extension Of the
present system OF experiment stations and
the employment OF a larger corps Of field
