VISIT COUNTY FARM.

Work of Superintendent.
The board OF county commissioners
visited the county farm "Wednesday
afternoon in company with the super
intendent, Lee l.. Gait. They walked
over the greater portion of the farm
and visited the lake which Mr.. Gait
built late last year and Mr.. Taliaferro
bagged a big, fat duck, which he left
with the inmates of the county home.
They report that the farm is in fine
condition, the land has been doubly
broke, the orchard is clean and trees
are pruned, the houses are in good
repair and the commissioners express
ed themselves as well pleased with
the prospects for a crop. All the
inmates expressed themselves as be-
ing well pleased with their treatment
at the hands on Mr.. and Mrs. Gait.
They are enjoying life as well as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. Mr.. Gait is handicapped
for lack of house room and at some
time more room will be added to the
county home. The superintendent
also states that in his opinion the
home will care for the prisoners and
the poor and will net the county each
year from $500 to $1,000, depending
upon the rainfall and the crop pro-
duction.

Madry's Opera House for one night
only Dec. End. Paid In Full is from
the pen of Eugene Walters and is
considered by all who are compe-
tent to Judge, as the best--play ever
written by an American playwright.
It has the distinction of making the
longest run of any play ever pre-
scented in New York, being played
for over two years at the Aston
Theatre on Broadway, winter and
summer, without the loss of a night;
over one year in Chicago. Over
six million playgoers have laughed
and cried at Jimsey and Emma,
have despised Capt. Williams and
felt sorry for Joe Brooks. Every
intelligent playgoer or magazine
reader knows the worth Of paid In
Full" and in the hands of this
clever company, headed by Eiley
O'Connor, performance worth
while is guaranteed. Prices for this
will be $1.00, 75c. chill

The effect Of taking your cod liver

southeastern part sOf the city con-
tains 1916 acres valued at $4,000.
This park is already popular as a
great playfield for that section of the
city. Its Improvement by the board
Will no doubt make it one of the
best local parks in the city. The
same is true OF Haley park, which
contains approximately 80 acres.
The principal part of this park is
covered with timber. providing a
pleasant playground. A stream of
fresh water flows through the north
of the grove, making water sports
possible. There is also space for
baseball grounds and playground
apparatus with beautiful surround
ings of lawns and trees and shrub
berry.
Among the other local parks and
Fairgrounds in various parts of the
city are: Coquillard park, ga
acres, valued at 1900; Shetterly

Nassar park, 10 acres, $4,000;

which follows:
At Pottawattomie park we are
finally TO begin quite expensive oper-
atoms. 1t is another big project.
This will make one of the handsom-
est parks in the city. and will afford
a proper play ground and breathing
spot for the citizens OF River Park
and the eastern section OF the city,
though incidentally even Mishawaka
and all Of ST. Joseph county get the
benefit OF all the parks. not only
aesthetically. but in financial accre-
ton TO all contiguous property. and
the returns in taxable values.
With the change in ownership OF
the Rum Village tract we are again
dreaming that by some means IL may
become a coveted possession OF the
city.
These things are simple statements,
and readily seen in the plans-but
in actual practise they are a matter
of patient, gradual working out
this is development.
The park board is strongly aware
in the brief period OF it's existence
ii could not have accomplished much
without the strong help and cooper
alton OF the mayor, controller, city
attorney, city engineer, clerk Farley
and last, but not least, Judge Howard
and every member OF the city council.
The park board has put forth con-
sistent means. and TO win the best
possible results with its limited
means, and TO win the approb baton of
the best and most far-seeing citizens.
The board feels that II has justified
its existence. and that the broad scope
of its activities will be even more ap-
preciated by coming generations. 1t
it particularly gratfied to feel that
as the board has appointed mayor
Goetz, that the boulevard and for
estry projects were launched dur
ing his administration, and the ac-
QUESTION of so much fine new park
land was quietly and unostentatiously
accomplished during his term, in
deed IL could not have been done
without his splendid assistance. The
board aimed to eschew ephemeral,
labor along the larger, broader lines
