S. Brancher, secretary of the assocla-
ton, says:
During the last two years 246
American cities have established play
grounds for the first time, and other
communities to the number of 1875 are
now conducting campaigns for them.
Orphan asylums, hospitals for the in
sane and institutions for the feeble
minded have made special provision
for the recreation of their wards. The
children in schools for the blind are
almost as happy in their play as see
ing children. Churches are giving the
use of their grounds, and county fairs
have had playground exhibits. In
some cities both political parties in
their platforms have declared for out
door recreation centers.
'The greatest danger of the play
ground propaganda has been its rapid
growth All persons familiar with a
certain 100000 playground building
in an eastern city know that if the
bricks used in its construction had
been left loose upon the ground the
children would have played with them
more than they use this costly struc-
ture In another place a $4,000 play
ground has been used as much as an
other which cost ten times as much.
Thousands of dollars have been vast
ed because cities have planned their
Fairgrounds without knowledge OF
what other municipalities have done"
In Columbus there is little to fear
from any such cause While the work
has not been spoiled by an oversupply
of available funds, every dollar that
was available has been spent to the
best advantage The whole atmos
phere has been healthy, and the con-
sequence is that. in a movement be-
come suddenly of such universal in
terest, Columbus has been accepted as
an example and an encouragement to
the world. Columbus News.

How Dull 'Twould Be

HOW OuIl 1WOulQ be
If all the people cherish
Were easily obtained:
If all the pests would perish,
And not an i'll remained;
If those we love would love us
And those we hate would die;
If clouds ne'er spread above us
To darken the blue sky;
If all the flies made honey,
And gold filled every brick.
If all the leaves were money
That any one might pick;
If swindlers never stung us
And babies never cried,
| wonder who among us
Would be quite satisfied?
If life were only pleasure,
With neither toll nor care,
If every hidden treasure
Were suddenly laid bare.
If every girl could marry
A marquis or an earl
And every boy could carry
Away some others girl,
Life still would be unpleasant,
And sadly day by day.
We'd sigh for what at present
We lightly throw away.
Jolly soon would be canker,
And none would think it strang
If each and all should banker
For trouble for a change.

WHY COMMISSIONS WORK.

government is talked of reference is
made that city is like corporation
and should be run as business IN
stitution Not only is a city cor
poration itself, pure and simple, but
it is like a great store, with the peo-
pie the silent partners.
In national or state affairs politics
is an essential, perhaps, to good gov
ernment but this is because the nat
ional government and state govern
ment are sovereign That IS, they
owe no allegiance to any higher au-
thority. They do not exist by VIZ
tue of a charter, but solely by the will
of the people No city can exist ex-
cept under a charter granted by the
state. 1t has no power outside Of
that charter. 1t is the same as any
corporation: Both have their priv
ileges laid down and nominated in
their charters 1t cannot be SAID,
then, that a city needs political par
ties for its government like state or
nation
1t might as we'll be said that po-
1itica1 parties are required for the
management of a bank or railroad as
that they are necessary for a corporate
city or a corporate borough, for that
matter.
It would be utterly foolish to say
that with ward lines in cities and
town limits in boroughs wiped out,
the government could not be better
managed than under the mayor and
council method 1t certainly is of
the utmost Importance that the direc-
tors of any corporation be always in
harmony There are few exceptions
to this rule. Whoever saw harmony
in a city or borough council?
Our system, therefore, as at pres
ent operated is unsound in principle
as unsound as it is unsafe. 1t is
all wrong to consider a city as a pO
litical entity, conducting its affairs as
we do those of the nation or state.
If the system now in vogue were
not unsound, as we'll as unsafe, why
would the people everywhere be de-
handing a change? The commission
comes as an answer to the demands
of the people.
If the commission form were not
at least promising form of improve
ment, why is it that wherever it is
proposed the leaders of both parties
are SO united against it?
Keep the hands of the politicians
off, and commission government
would sweep the entire country in
six months.
Present employees of city govern
ments are against the commission be-
cause they are afraid of losing their
jobs This is foolish, because even
if run as a business should be run,

NOTICES OF THE ZION
BAPTIST CHURCH.

Notwithstanding the rain of last
Aunday the services at Zion were
well attended. The pastor spoke at
the morning hour, while DIR. H. H.
Jones, of Liberia, Africa, preached at
the evening service DR.. John E..
Ford, former pastor was among the
visitors present
At the close of the Sunday school
the rite Of baptism was administered
to three of the scholars, Lenord and
Genevieve CODY and Vivian Dunn. 1t
is most refreshing to see SO many of
our children coming into the church
from the Sunday school which is the
best evidence of the good work being
done by our teachers.
Great activity was shown in the
B. Y. P. U. last Sunday evening. Bro.
Waltons splendid control of this or
ganiZation is becoming more apparent
each week. The conduct of the les
sons is Intelligent and helpful, and
the attendance and interest are on
the increase. The subject discussed
was How Can l Best Serve My
Country" Young men and women
who meet to study the Bible are serv-
ing their country in many ways of
which they are not aware.
The excellent service rendered by
our choir last Sunday deserves special
mention. Few of us realize the worth
of this organization to our church.
The faithfulness of its members. their
earnestness and loyalty are among
the forces which make Zion progress
sive.
We are thankful that most of our
sick are convalescent. the exceptions
being Mrs. Fields, at st. Anthony's
and Brother Andrews, who are both
very Ill.
A lady from Cheyenne, visiting our
service Sunday evening, lost $4,000
in currency in the church. This is a
very regretable circumstance and we
are making every effort to recover it.
Any one who might have found the
money will receive $500 by turning
ii over 10 the pastor or any of the
officers.

DR.. II. n. Jones will address the

Jones will relate many of his ex-
periences covering a period of more
than four years. while many curious
relics will be shown.

Why You Should Buy
Our Land


We have the cream of Texas land,
located in the choicest part of the
state. Should you buy of US, your
purchase is not in some isolated place
where it will lay for years, the value, if
changed at all, taking the wrong direction. We
do not merely exchange our land for your
money and forget about YOU 1t is the laudable
purpose Of this company to develop the entire
scope Of country within the circle where such
influence can be helpful. Twice each month we
bring buyers to the Big Springs Country and
your purchase is on the market at any time you
decide to dispose of it. There is development
work going at all times here and we have
but begun the work we have planned. The Big
Springs Country will receive all the results Of
the splendid plans which Mr.. Soash has ar
ranged for the development of the country, and
there are thousands who are ready to follow his
lead in development work.

Ten years ago this entire section
was controlled by the cattle men who
kept back the development of the
country. Then, according to the
q. S. census, there were only 2,565
people in Howard and Dawson coun-
ties (which contain most of the Big
Springs Ranch) and the majority of
them lived in the railroad town of
Big Springs In 1910 y. S. census
reports show that $3.50 people have
moved in, giving these two counties
a population of 11,201. Practically
all of this increase has been in
this section in the last five or six
years Many more are going from
the north this year and the develop
ment has just begun.
