The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1913-02-28

It has been brought to the
Editors attention a couple of times
this past winter that some of the
youth of this vicinity are very de-
s.ructful. In one case it is where q
farmer living southwest of Kendrick
has a private bridge. This farmer
is always wiling to have the public
use this bridge when necessary.
But some Of ihe boys-and they are
known-of this town 60 along there
and try to destroy the property of
this man and several times they
have gone so far as to break boards
in this structure. Now this is the
last notice to stop. The next will be
through the channels of the law and
no mercy will be shown. Itappears
that young boys would rather see
the country torn down than to
see it improved. If you continue
to destroy property in your
young days. when you are grown
the country will be burdened with
just such men as some that are in il
now, who would rather see com
munity stand still or 60 backwards
than to help it advance as the sur
rounding country grows.

BRICK HOUSE SENT
BY PARCEL POST
Local Man Helps to Erect Brick Build
ing in Chicago By Sending
Brick By Mail.

j. A. Fruchtl of the Kendrick
Brick Yard sent by Parcel Post this
morning brick of local manufac-
ture to be used in building brick
house at the Coliseum Chicago dur
ing the Clay Products Exposition
which is to be held February 26 to
March 8. This brick will be one of
$4,000 sent by Parcel Post from ev-
cry brick plant in the United States
to be used in the construction of this
house. which will be given away and
reerected after the exposition.
The idea was originated to test the
merits of the Parcel Post system and
it is certainly novel one. A re-
cord will be kept of each brick from
the time the brick is mailed until it
is delivered in Chicago in order to
see how speedily Uncle Sam can
deliver brick house by mail.
1t is probable that Uncle Sans
mail carriers in Chicago will not be
overly enthusiastic for this method
of delivery of a brick house. Other
mail carriers throughout the country
will watch the experiment with inter-
est and fear and trembling. While
the brick fireproof home is becom-
ing more and more popular because
of its permanency, economy and su-
periority, it is not probable that they
will be delivered by mail to any
alarming extent.
At any rate Kendrick will have
brick in the first brick house ever
sent by mail.

this state is passing laws it surely
thinks that the state is made up of
the worst type of immoral citizens
and that the legislators are placed in
their offices to regulate the moral
doings of the poor illiterate people.

to the same end that it did when
placed in the laws of the state of

DEDICATE new
|. 0. O. F. BUILDING
Members of Neighboring Lodges Pres
ent--Good Program And Ex-
celent Banquet.

In response to an invitation from
the Odd Fellow lodge Of Leland a.
bout twenty members of the Ken
drick lodge went to that place Tues
cay evening. The occasion was the
dedication of the new hall that has
been recently finished. The lodge
in that place lost its hall some
months ago by fire and since that
time it has been busy building an
other one which is a two story
building with store room on the
first floor. The second floor is oc-
cupied by rhe lodge. 1t is arranged
in the proper manner for a small
town. having a stage for shows and
plenty of room for dancing. neat
kitchen and plenty of dishes to han
die most any kind of crowd.
There were about two hundred in
attendance and every one had his
share of pleasure. The evenings
program was opened by piano Sc
lection by Miss Blanche Hoffman.
This was followed by a duet by
Miss Hoffman, piano. and Mr.. A.
Perters, violin, after which MIR. j.
w. Pircil opened the meeting. H.
P. Hull. of Kendrick, was the first
called on for a talk, which he re-
sponded to in a very interesting
manner on Odd Fellowship. Mr..
Bond was the second on the pro-
gram; he also made a pleasing talk
on the same subject. These two
speakers were the main ones on the
program. then came short talks by
different ones in the audience. At
ter the entertainment the guests were
invited to be seated at long table
laden with every thing man could
wish for to satisfy the inner longings
and from the way some of the Ken
drick boys went to work one would
have thought they had been fasting
for some time. During the time the
eating was going on, Chas. Dale
was the busiest man in the house. as
he was the head cook and he Ger
tainly did credit to himself for the
manner in which he handled the
occasion. At late hour those pre-
sent bid each other goodnight, ex
pressing themselves as having hac
an excellent time, and saying tina

PARKS AND PLAY
GROUNDS FOR CITY

The development of public parks,
Fairgrounds etc., is a now recog-
nized as an important part of city
improvement, but it has long been
and ia still, a common assumption
that country towns do not need
these things. This is wrong. On
proportionate scale. these things are
just as important in the towns as in
the larger cities.
Every town of say 500 inhabitants
or more should have a municipality
owned park. No town knows how
large it may eventually become and
a good centrally located park site
may be secured in these smaller
cities and towns for comparatively
little money.
All of the large cities in the Uni
ted States were olce small towns
and it is a fact worth noting that
scarcely any of these large cities
have any parks centrally located
where they would be of the most
benifit to the people that need them
most; you have to get on the street
cars and ride several miles to get
to them.
Sometime ago the newspaper at
Columbia Falls. Montana, printed
the following: will some one
please donate the town OF Columbia
Falls park site7" One might in
fer from this that there is
some one" who might reasonably
be expected to donate a park site
for that town. The writer has no
later information as to whether or
not some one" has come through
with the goods" but, if not. he
would suggest that the people OF
Columbia Falls 60 after the park site
and get one even if they have to pay
some money for it.
A public playground is as valua.
BILE to the country town as to the
large city. This might be either ir
connection with the park or the
school. In the latter case the teach.
ers and janitor may look after the
conduct of the children on the play
ground and care for the grounds. A
public tennis court is fine thing TO,
both grown-ups and boys and girls
The school should have a gymnasi
um and the right kind of school ath
letics should be encouraged. Thes'
things cost comparatively little ane
they help beautify the town ane
make it more prosperous and tn
home town life more pleasant.
