have been working more or less indie

ANNUAL PARK FUND.
Commissioner Wants $4,000 Set Aside
Annually.

A policy of setting aside $4,000 each
year to be used for the purchase of
additional land for city parks is to be
urged upon the other members of the
city commission, by w. L. Porter, city
commissioners of parks.
Il think this would be a good policy
for the city to adopt and continue for
several years to come. 1t must be done
this year anyway. as provision must
be made to pay for Klein park which
has been purchased but not paid for
by the city" said Porter
I believe Topeka's parks are her
pest investment and that more parks
spell more happiness and health. The
more parks we have the fewer di-
vorces there will be- declared the
city commissioner of parks.
figure it this way. A man goes
nome to his wife and baby in the
evening. If there is a park nearby
they decide to take the kid there. If
there is no park, both the man and
ms wife sit around in the heat and
swelter until they are both in bad
humor Then a row starts and the
next we know about them they are in
the divorce court. Trace the trouble
back to its source and it can be found
in their not having gone to a city
