While the sales of Postum invariably

MORE TO SAVE
PYLE PICTURES

Wilmington people are reminded
that the Committee ON securing the
Howard Pyle paintings for the city
will meet tomorrow night 10 decide
what shall be done about the matter
There has been little response to the
request for small contributions and
the request is again made for any
sums from 90 cents up. There is still
over $4,000 to be obtained TO bring
the amount up to the sum necessary
to purchase the paintings shown at
the recent exhibition. This leaves out
the large and beautiful canvases on
the walls of the Pyle home, which
would nearly double the sum TO be
raised, and which the committee had
hoped to secure. They hope that fur
ther time can be given 60 work for
the wall paintings, which would be so

STAND FOR THREE
PARKS OR NONE

The fact that the six Democratic
members of City Council have signed
an agreement that they will not sup
port by their votes any measure hav-
ing for the object the acquisition Of
any of the three park sites in the
First, Third and Tenth wards unless
the purchase of all three sites are re-
commended by the Park Commits
sion has furnished food for thought
among the members of the Park Board
who think that the purchase of the
First and Tenth ward sites is suiii-
cient money expended in that section
of tho city for park purposes.
AS it requires a two-third vote OF
the members OF Council to pass an
ordinance providing for a bond issue
it can be seen that unless the Park
Board recommends the acquisition OF
all three sites there will be no bond
issue for the purchase OF the other
two
The agreement was drawn up also
among other things to assure a mem
Der of the Park Board that Council
man Higgins of the Third ward would
not sacrifice either the First or Tenth
wards for the sake of his own ward
and that he would vote for all three
sites or none.
The Council agreement and those
who signed it. follows:
