Helpful Hints For Fairgrounds.

The universal impulse to. play is a
the instinct man ought to provide the
playground.
Man plays only where he is a hu-
man being in the fullest sense Of the
word. and he has reached full hui
manity only when he plays.
1t would be difficult to find any
point at which in u large cities a
dollar will go further in the making
Of those things for which the city ex-
lists. than in the provision and mainte-
nance Of Fairgrounds.
In these Fairgrounds and in their
work lie the beginning Of social re-
demption Of the people in large cities.
They furnish the spectacle Of a city
saving itself; Of the people of a great
city finding nature and God by finding
their neighbors and themselves.
Here lies the function Of the play.

opportunity for mastery Of his body
under conditions of increasing difficult.

It also gives the opportunity for the
social experiences of democracy Of

school for physical and social sell

There is another point Of view
which maintains that no matter how
great the cost the value Of the boy
saved is inestimably beyond III. This
point Of view is suggested by thai

the high school except the stars had
been loft entirely in the dark as to the
nature of the play:
The mysterious "Mr. Bob" was we'll
suited to the part and carried her role
through with the greatest ease and
grace. Of course Patty was as much
alive as ever and we fully believe that
if she continued in that profession as
she apparently thought she would like
to, sheswould be a grand success. We
haven't us yet ventured to mention
'cats" to Jenkins or more properly
"Romeo," but after all the compliments
showered upon him, we do not believe
that he would be very dangerous. Alec
has displayed his ability in this pro-
fession before and we fully appreciate
his talent. No one would blame Philip
for being a trife put out about Kitty
having a particular friend, Mr.. Bob, with
whom he was not acquainted. Forum
ately it didn't prove serious, but things
surely looked dark to Philip for
awhile. This was the first example we
have had Of Fred's great ability, but
we hope to see more of it in the future.
Considering Kitty's appearance it is
not in the least surprising that she
bewitched Philip. Her role was indeed
suited to her and she carried it out
particularly we'll. Miss Rebecca Luke
held her dignified position in a most
becoming manner. If Nina were not
so charitable and sympathetic she would
indeed bring less worry upon herself.
Perhaps Jenkins would prefer not to
see her so charitable, at least along
certain lines. 1t Is perhaps surprising
that Mr.. Brown, alias, Bob, Saunders, or
Rayson survived. 1t is possible that if
he had not had an abundance of
nourishing food during the course of the
evening, he would probably have given
out entirely. But through it all, to say
nothing of being amusing and interest
ing, Dick was indeed natural and ap-
peared right at home. We all appreciate
the successful efforts of our sophomores
and realize that they displayed real
talent, but we know that this talent
was brought out to the greatest
advantage only by the careful training
which they received. Mr.. Hazeltine
may we'll be proud of the result, for we
all feel certain that they did famously,

TOWN BOOSTERS BOOSTS.
Valuable Suggestions That Are APP
plicabie to Any Rural Community.


plicabIe to Any Rural Community.
A town booster who knows how to
boost recently prepared these ques-
tons and suggestions, which are ap-
plicable to any town. whether it is on
the map or not:
Where is u town on the map?
Who knows u town is on the map?
Who ~cares-other than our home
folks?
What does our town mean indus
trially to America?
What is it's rank in the American
development game?
What's the score?
Are we really in the game?
Boys, it is almighty important the
position our town takes in this race
for municipal supremacy.
And the old town cannot fight her
battles without you and me to boost.
We can boost at least if we do not
build.
No town is better than her men.
No town ever went ahead without
men to push her ahead.
A lazy farmer allows his crops to
run to weeds.
A lazy townsman allows his town to
run to weeds-literally and fgurative-
ly.
Weeds and crops do not thrive well
together. Weeds and town develop
ment do not know each other.
Let's cut down the weeds.
Let's cultivate our ground.
There is Il reason for our town being
on the map OF it would not be there.
Let us study our town a little.
After we know our town let's tell
others: let's pass the information
around; send it abroad.
Let's work for our town.
Our private business is important
and must not be neglected, but oul
general business, interests are insep
arably associated with the welfare Of
the town.
If the town prospers we will have {
better chance to prosper.
What are you and what an l willing
to do to make our town more promi
nent on this map?

BACK YARD BEAUTY,
Suggestion For Transforming
Rear of Homes.
THE LESSON OF ONE W0MAN

How Yard In Back of the House of
Mrs. Dennison In Scranton. Pa, Is
Utilized During All the Seasons of
the Year.
There is a study in contrasts in
back yards, and it demonstrates what
may be accomplished by the expendi-
Horticulture. Anybody with a back
yard. no matter how liliputian in size
or how steep. may have a pretty little
flower or vegetable garden. In many
large towns and cities there has long
been a successful movement for the
identifying Of that traditional eye
sore, the back yard, where most people
appear to think all kinds of rubbish
and debris should be piled up and
displayed in a conspicuous manner.
Flowers and vegetables in the back
yards keep the young folks-and the
older ones, too-out of mischief, and a
housewife who has to care for a few
plants has o much time for gossip
ing and comforting with gossipy neigh
bors over the rear fence. Aside from
having this highly beneficial effect a
yard full Of nice things is most in
structive. 1t takes people back to the
soil and gives them something more
to think about than the ordinary work
aday matters Of prosaic life. AS a
rule. those interested in land culture
not only take their work seriously, but
find in it one Of the greatest pleasures
Of life. During an investigation of
towns and cities for the betterment
Of back yards one that was a pleasure
to the eye and a credit to the city of
Scranton, Pa, was the rear yard of
Mrs. F. e. Dennison. There is quite
a plot of ground in the rear of her
house which was a sight to make the
spirit rise up and rebel when she first
saw it. There were old tin cans and
boots, and weeds sprouted in much
confusion. But she soon changed all
this.
Purchasing some seed, she fell to-,
| and in a very short time that unsightly
! back yard blossomed like the proven
bal rose garden. Now she has ever
so many kinds Of plants. She has
made it a practice in the morning be-
fore attending to her household duties
to take hold Of hoe and spade and to

work in her garden. The rest of the
family end their assistance also. She
has a procession of flowers. Before
the snow leaves the ground in the late
winter the snowdrops appear in the
beds: then when March winds blow
and buster pretty focuses peep out,
followed by jonquils and bleeding
hearts: then as summer rolls round her
garden is a mass OF beautiful flowers
and Il variety Of vegetables. Now. this
little sermon is preached to ruralites
not to tell them OF the pretty yard Of
this Industrious woman. but only to
demonstrate just what car be done
with that small space in the rear of
their homes, so let those that are not
affected With hookWorm and interest
ed IN the Improvement of their towns
band together to see that the small
piece OF ground back OF their houses Is
titled and made beautiful AMI useful.

Home Merchant Is Your Friend.

The home merchant is the man who

The home merchant Is the man who

The home merchant is the man to
