states that one-eighth of the park
funds shall be diverted to the use of
the playground commission. This
commission shall consist OF trained
and efficient people in playground and
recreation work who shall serve with

In case there is no such official the

There has been no greater contrib
uting factor to the health of Denver's
children than the public Fairgrounds
of the city, under the supervision of
trained and efficient instructors of
games and sports.
Last year there were II public play
grounds, under the direction of II in
structors and one supervisor.
Library activities were initiated as
a phase of the recreational work on
Fairgrounds last summer, and each
playground of the city was visited
one day of each week by Miss Hilko.

ment of the public library, who told
stories to large audiences of interest
ed children, in many cases accompa-
MED by their mothers.
ne DidySTOuHuS were Oh lltSe
days distributing stations for library
books.
Lincoln park with it's splendid
swimming pool had an. average Sun
day afternoon attendance of 700 chill
dren. Washington park, with its
bathing beach, was almost, if not
quite, as popular.
All of the Fairgrounds have pools.
Swings and teeter totters, merry-go-
rounds and rings were the delight of
the little folks, while organized
games of basket, captain and indoor
base ball were participated in by old
er children.
The girls learned sewing and bas-
kerry on the hot afternoons, when
team work was too strenuous.
Playground work, possibility all
the year around in this climate, was
continued on the Fairgrounds of 35
schools. One of the regular school
teachers in each building, supervise ed
by the playground instructor of her
district, which is one of five, instructs
the children before and after school,
during the noon hour and at recess
time. One supervisor is at the head
of the whole system.
Considering the few years that Den
yer has had supervised city play
grounds, she may be considered to
have made great progress in recre-
<ational work, and the movement de-
serves support.

The HOG A REVENUE
PRODUCER
Pork and Its Products Increas-
ing in Demand.

The razor-back hog has been
forced by the thoroughbreds to flee
to the mountains and the distance
they have Travelled each year j.
measured and recorded by the judges
of the Fl. Worth Fat Stock Show.
For eighteen years the National
Feeders and Breeders have held
the tape line Of progress on this in
dustry and the exhibits on Novem-
Der 22-28 promise to more nearly
approach perfection and extend
through a much wider range Of
breeds than any previous exhibits.
No other animal ever made such
concessions to the market as has
the hog. He has given half his life
to meet the demand for young stock
and has surrendered the freedom of
forests for the tackles Of the pen
where fat can be produced with the
greatest economy. The human race
has made no such sacrifices for sue
cess as has this dumb brute.
The new hog has become SO pop
ular with the housewife that we con-
sumo all of our home production and
ship in $24,00,000 of pork and its
products per annum. He is one Of
the best revenue producers in the
animal kingdom, and has shown an
increase in value per head during the
past five years of $3.50. The sta
tistics of the Federal Department of
Agriculture pay glowing tribute
to the growing popularity of the
Texas hog, and show a decrease of
approximately million head in
number and an increase of over ST.
100000 in aggregate value. We are
travelling rapidly on the road of ex-
termination of the swine industry
in Texas, and the National Breed
ers' will make an exhibit at the Fat
Stock Show that will seek to turn
the tide. 1t is one of the missions
of the management to balance pro-
duction and consumption, and no
more effective methods can be en-
ployed to encourage hog raising than
to exhibit the leaders of the swine
family to the farmers of Texas.
King Cotton has had the audacity
to counterfeit some of the by-pro-
ducts of the hog, but Uncle Sam
caught him in the act and passed
pure food law and the subjects of
the king are now compelled to march
ander their own flag and parade
under their own colors.

MEAT MAY NOT SOAR.

That the realization Of the serious
condition Of feed crops has led to what
may prove to be an unnecessarily
frightened condition of the public mind
with reference to the shortage of beef
and of other meat supplies, Is the
opinion of some of the packing inter-
ests says The New York Telegram:
Drought and the decrease Of corn and
of oats for the current crop undoubt-
edly will affect the hope Of increased
livestock and Of reserves with which
to fatten them. But other conditions
may in the coming months restore the
balance of untoward factors and ease
the fear or the fact OF high prices for
meats.
Speaking of present dearth of cattle
reported from the western centers of
stock receipts, one Of the leading men
connected with the United States in
terests said:
In spite Of the statements predict
ing that the retail prices Of beef will
go ito unIeard of prices this winter,
{ do not think that meats in general
will soar to prohibitory prices. There
may be a very noticeable increase In
the price Of fancy cuts. AS the top
prices Of meat are always those
heralded as representing the average
og prices, the public easily becomes

anxious as 1t reads Of higher costs
for these rather restricted demands
for meat.
1t is too soon to take fright at pos
sibtlities which may not be realized
There is considerable margin yet left.
The very fact that cattle are being
rushed throught the usual packing
centers for fattentng purposes is q
possible protection Tor the future. At,
present it adds to anxiety and also
lessons actual supply for meats.
killing OF corn and of hay has caus-
ed the farmer to sell his stock, as lack
OF corn and actual want OF water and
the drying of pasture have forced him
to part with his stock now. 1t means
much loss to him when everything was
promising for the increase Of cattle
supply. It is possible that the attempt
OF the banks to carry the farmer
through the droughts so as to conserve
his stock will allow him to stand the
cost of importing corn during the COM
ing season. But even then, and grant
ing higher prices, the profits will be
small. And this at least looks like
higher prices on a steadily rising basis.
Yet what are the correctiWes to this
situation? The new tariff with its free
beef will at least temporarily give
some relief to cattle stringency. Can
ada with much profit to itself can fur
nish a good Mexican cattle that is dis
tinctly inferior, yet fattened, the
Mexican cattle can supply fair meat.
Undoubtedly, also, after the tariff bill
is passed meats will be imported In
large quantities from Australia, which
is in a position to supply large
amounts Of mutton, and from the Ar
gentine.
These importations will serve as a
check, certainly for a time, to too great
a rise in the cost of meats here. It
would seem wiser for the public to
fears before a wave of anxiety reacts
upon the remaining supplies in the
hands Of farmers who will be tempted
to sacrifice their stock.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Wealth and Its Sorrows.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: A New York
clergyman, in sermon at Newport,
dwelt with pity on "the unhappiness
of the rich," which seems to be defined
in his mind to the following effect:
Men who have everything money
can buy, everything the world can
give, are still yearning with inexpress-
ible longing for what they have lost
or have missed"
OF course all men Of all classes are
susceptible to yearnings after some
thing that they cannot attain. Alex
ander's unhappiness was that there
were no more worlds to conquer, and
the trust magnate's ineXpressibIe
longing may be for some new article
of necessity to get control of and
screw up the price But this is not
confined to the rich. The yearning Of
the man of moderate means may be
for Panhard automobile, while the
magnet in Gilbert's ditty took the
turn Of wanting the love of silver
churn.
But the clerical Little Brother of the
Rich should differentiate between the
sorrows that are common on all man
kind from Alexander of Macedon down
to Tom Jones, and those peculiar to,
and caused by riches. If he will
specify the sorrows and yearnings that
are the consequence of the possession
Of wealth remedy for them can
doubtless be suggested. There are we'll
known and wholly legal methods Of
getting rid both Of the riches and the
sorrows that follow in their train.

TOO VILE TO CALL A MAN.

The trial of Maury I. Diggs in San
Francisco shows the utter vileness Of
the defendant, and makes one wonder
by what method he has hypnotized his
wife into agreeing to testify in his de-
fense. Not satisfied with the ruin Of
the girl in the case, and with aiding in
the degradation Of her companion, this
foul beast glories in forcing his victim
to tell ali the revolving details Of her
shame before a courtroom crowded
with norbidly curious spectators.
The Associated Press account Of the
cross examination of Marsha War
rinston contained this sentence:
"Disgs constantly prompted the ques-
.tions Of his attorney and steadily kept
his eyes on tho girls yelled face, but
uile as constantly avoided his gaze"
II !s impossible to conceive q more
brutal exhibition than this An Offend
or who has shown himself in the pos
session Of bestial appetite, Is permit
ted to torture his victim in open court,
1eering nt her and prompting his law
yer to scar her soul still further with
questions that would bring the blood
to tho fnce of the most hardened
woman. It Ia to the credit Of the Judge
that on one or two occasions he halted
tho lawyers attempts to further black
on the character Of the unfortunate
girl, but Diggs, like q human hyena,
Sat there leering at her and directing
the revolving dissection.
This trial, as we'll as others Of the
same sort, should raise the question
whether those who have lost most and
who suffer the greatest agony from
the publicity are not entitled to some
protection. With her future blasted,
certain that the finger of scorn will
follow her for years to come, why
should the woman in the case be cru
Gifted still further? Were 1t not better
that trials of this sort be held in pri-
Sate? "The way Of the transgressor Is
hard" Of course. and Justly SO; why
make it more thorny by tearing away
every shred Of self respect that Is left
her?
Another thought intrudes itself tc
the layman's mind: Do the ethics o1
the legal profession enforce upon coun-
sci. the role Of torturer in cases like
this? If so, it Is g. wonder that mer
adopt that calling.

WEDNESDAY,, AUG. 20, 1918.
PLANT ELM TREES.

@Fargo at present faces a serious
problem, in the wooly aphis, which is
attacking the softwood trees and rails
3fIe havoc with them. The box-elder
tree, the Eastwood and the soft maple
are subject to this attack and many Of
them are ruined or being ruined IN
Fargos beautiful residence districts.
EThere is only one way to save Far
gos splendid shade trees and that is
for the owners to get together and
fight the aphis collectively. Individual
owners can do little.
THE park board has taken the mat
ter up and it is probable that sys-
tenatic campaign will be waged with
sprayers and that much Of the damage
can be stopped. 1t is pointed out by
the park board, however, that the
proposition Is too large for them to
tackle alone. They must have the CO.
operation Of the tree owners.
The members Of the board, while
they are willing, and expect to wage
8 fight on the woody aphis. believe that
there is a way to insure Fargo good
supply Of trees for the future, and that
is to start a big campaign in favor of
planting elm trees. These magnificent
Bhade trees are not subject to the at
tacks of the woody aphis. they are
much longer lived and are better all
around trees than the softwood trees.
The life of a box-elder is only about
twenty-five Or thirty years. On the
other hand, an elm tree will live for
400 years and grows more beautiful
and: more valuable with age 1t is
urged by the members Of the park
board that owners plant elm trees in
between their other trees, that are at
tackled by the woody aphis, and in a
short time the latter can be cut out
and the owner will have finer trees
than before.
