r. G. Gordon gave talk on his triI
through the south. He said that IL
Florida, where he spent most Of his va
cation, the land was either sandy OF
swamps. On the sandy areas the white
pine trees were everywhere in evl
dence. With the aid of fertilizer this
sandy soil is adapted to the very best
Of fruits and the people are getting
wonderful results from it. The swamps
on the other hand, are drained and de-
voted to truck gardening. The Old

ing and thrifty farmers from the
north are taking their. place. New
towns are springing up every year ano

ed that every town, regardless Of size

On account Of the numerous inquiries
as to whether or not the Civic Ieague
of this city is still in existence the
board of directors has deemed it ad-
visable to make a statement through
the press Of its activities during the
past winter.
During the winter months The work
of the league has chiefly been to bring
relief to people who have been in want
of the necessaries of life. The league
has aided twelve families by partially
providing them with the necessaries OF
life and has also furnished fuel and
clothing for about twenty families. At
Christmas time a free program was
held, which was attended by about >5OC
children. A large number of presents
were distributed at this time. The
story hour committee has held fou1
meetings and another is to be held this
afternoon at the high school auditor
ium, at which Prof. Maria Sanford
will lecture. She will also give an en-
tertainment at the high school audi
torium this evening, to, which everyone
is invited. The program for this eve.
ming will consist of readings from
Shakespeare. An admission fee of 10
cents viii be charged for this enter
tainment. The afternoon lecture will
be given entirely free and charge and
will be for children, especially.
The aim Of the league is now direct
ed toward beautifying the city. The
park committee will assist in cleaning
the parks and the public will be urgec
to clean up the lots and back yards as
soon as possible. The first week in May
has been named Cleanup Week and al
this time special effort will be made
to beautify the city.
During the winter the membership
committee has. been inactive and but
little assistance has been received from
anyone. The treasury is practically ex
hausted but the committee will get
busy Immediately and the citizens may
be called upon to pay their membership
dues, which amount to but so cents pei
year. The dues may be left with p. }
Richie, treasurer, at :. the German
American National bank.

new HOME
FOR RICHMOND nine
Local Club Considers Sites
For Park Near Morton
Lake Land.

II the present plans Of the Rich
mond Baseball club are realized, a
new ball park will be. built in the
northern part Of the city ready for the
games next season.
For several months. the club has
been considering changing the location
of the diamond, owing to inconveni-
ence Of the place and accommodations
inadequate to meet the needs of the
in Richmond as it is hoped 1t will be.
The club has secured options on
two sites on North Nineteenth street,
between and streets. Which one
will be chosen is not decided but
survey has been made of both the lots
to determine which will require the
least work to place 1t in condition.
One of the lots is on the west side OF
Nineteenth street and the other on
the east side, both being south OF
street. While one of the lots Is prac-
tically void of trees, it will require
a great amount of grading while If the
other lot is chosen it will require the
removal of a number of trees.
1t is the clubs plan to construct a
large grand stand, constructed in the
most modern style, with boxes in
front. Bleachers with sun shades will
be built on both sides of the grand
stand.
The sites are owned by the Morton
Lake company which is also anxious
to have the park located in that part
of the city as an added attraction.

STUDY To REFORM
CITY GOVERNMENTS
Commercial Club Members
Prepare Campaign of Cor
receive Legislation.

In order to lose none of the pres
tige it gained by securing the passage
of the penal farm bill, the Commercial
club will concentrate it's activities
late this year on working out some
reform Of state wide need to be
brought before the legislature in 1915.
The club has selected as a real
need of reform, municipal govern
ments. The club will have commit
tees take up the study of municipal
governments and city charters in
detail and work out the wrongs and
abuses of the functions.
This matter was placed in the hands
Of the legislation committee last night.
The committee will Immediately be-
gin research work which is expected
to be completed before the first of
next year. The findings of the COM
mtttee will be backed by the club in
the state legislature when material
will be presented correcting errors of
the lawmakers in the past.
This committee probably will be
called on to work hard for several
months. The city officials will be
called in consultation and research
Will be made into the affairs and diff
ficulties of other cities.

OF ROAD MEASURE
Commercial Club to Issue
Resolution Giving Stand
on Law.

The Commercial club will issue to-
n orrow resolution of the board of
directors giving plainly the stand of
the organization Of the three-mile road
law. It is said the club is very favor.
able to very conservative use Of the
law and believe 1t has been somewhat
abused in the past.
Fred Lemon, chairman Of the tax
alton committee submitted his report
on the road law last night. A few
changes were recommended and when
the paper has been completed, 1t will
be issued publicly.
The futherance of the road system
conducted by ". o. Jones who is re.
garded over the county and by the
Commercial club as the most efficient
road man who has ever had charge OF
affairs in Wayne county and one OF
the most efficient road superintend.
ents in the state, is part of the scheme
of the club for better roads.
It is significant that the club turned

BALL CLUB WANTS
BERTH IN CENTRAL

Richmond may be q member Of the
Central baseball league next year.
At least, this is the hope of the local
club and from all indications, the local
team stands a good chance of being
taken in the league because of the ex-
cellent showing made this year.
Springfield drops out Of the league
this year and application has been
made by the local club to land the
berth.
The organization meeting of the
league is held following the close of
the baseball season and at that time
action will be taken on admitting or
rejecting the Richmond club. The
Central league is composed Of teams
from Dayton, Grand Rapids, Evans
Vile. Terre Haute, Fort Wayne and
Springfield.
