Reference should be made to the
fact as regards Belle Isle Park that,
after meeting all obligations, the
plan of making appropriations is such
as to admit of a generous handling
of funds to meet undertakings that
cannot, perhaps, be hatched out in a
year, and so the stumbling block of
unprepsredness scares nobody. Com
missioner Dust reports cash bal
ance at the end of the year 1915 of
$S12,7S2 to meet whatever park or
boulevard projects may be deemed
advisable.

The Parent-Teacherc meeting Fri
day evening came up to expectations
in point of interest and numbers. The
program consisted of music, recita-
tions and dialogues. Those deserving
special mention are Miss Skeen, her
sister Mae, and Miss Cherry, whose
vocal selertions were certainly ap-
preciated. Miss Lorraine USHER de-
livered a recitation which was en-
cored. Little Miss Ella Deans reci-
tation was also most pleasing. w.
w. Usher played a medley of old
favorites, the audience singing. "The

an enjoyable evening.

An incident that seems to bring
the war closer to our peaceful land
is that the aforementioned letter
had been censored"
The Sunday school social held in
the old gymnasium building last Fri
day evening was a most enjoyable af-
fair, About the whole enrolment was
present. The program of recitations,
stories, etc, was well received. The
refreshments of sandwiches and lithia

there is to be at least one social

Suggestive Hints.

The park and boulevard system in
Detroit is under the wise and method.
ical administration of the Hon. w
T. Dust, commissioner-in-ch who
! for many years has filled several mu-
nicipal offices with so much skill and
/ satisfaction to the electors as always
to be in harness, come what may. In
/ his 1915 report "To the Honorable
Common Council of Detroit" he is
simply dealing with common-sens
principles as worthy of commenda-
tion as they are of imitation. Com
missioner Dust, like the honest man
he is, says: 81 yield to no one when
it comes to economy. 1t has been
my aim at all times to perform the
duties with which l am charged in
as efficient and economical manner
as is possible, and I feel that, with it
all, some public improvements are
necessary; that we should approach
the future with open minds and pro-
gressive steps"
Ashland's Steps in the Matter.
Economy, allied to a discerning
comprehension of the situation as it
actually exists today, should be Ash
lands watchword in the management
of Lithia Park. This article, one may
assuredly say, will have been written
in vain if it fail to spur on Ashland
ers to realization of the fact that
once our hand has been securely
placed upon the plow, we cannot af-
ford to let go at any price, but in an
honest and liberal spirit safeguard
ed by serious endeavor in the work
ing out of the minutest detail-make
sensible provision for the mainte-
nance of our park and all that apper- |
tains thereto, on a scale commensur-
ate with that which is bound up with |
it, as an asset of the weightiest i'm
portance Ito be emphatic in the mat
teri and so point to Ashland as one
Of the greatest tourist cities on this
Pacific coast of ours. Politics should
be given a wide range at every turn,
and nothing but the greatest good
'or the greatest number be consid-
cred for moment.
Method in aim and endeavor, liber-
llity without extravaganza of any
iort, and a stiff upper lip to match
t all, should actuate every Ashlander
Who has encouraging hopes for the
uture and appreciates to the fullest
he yet many undeveloped resources
Dame Nature has so graciously placed
It our very front doors. Think OF
Belle Isle Park, Detroit, having been
purchased for the insignificant sum
# 100000 and worth now SIG, ,000,-
100, and what would we ask for our
.ithia Park ten years hence? Echo
"Ah! what, indeed"

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. 1t

Personal knowledge of Belle Isle
Park.
Many years ago, when landed at
the beautiful city of the Straits" "
Detroit was city of but small pre-
tensions, and at that time and for
many years thereafter has been held
back by the ultra-conservatism Ga
disease from which our beloved Ash
land has not been entirely exempt
of French Canadians, loathe to move
in any direction save by motives of
an explosive and dlstracting charac-
ter. remember the time when De-
troit had a population of 100000
only and when it was the proper
thing to attend church twice or
thrice, as the case might be, on a
Sunday, and the theatre and opera
house once or Git may be little
oftener) wind and weather permit
ting-every full-moon. Its now i'm
mense auto works (Which includes
the famous Henry Ford's institution
have transformed modest Detroit of
the past into an aggressive and siren
uous city of nearly 100000 inhabit-
ants, with its principal aristocratic
$50 to speak, resident thoroughfares
jefferson and Woodward avenues
literally converted, by absolute ne
cessity, into business and distributing
blocks.
Belle Isle Park is now only an
other name for Belle Isle itself-two
miles long, in the middle of the De-
troit river, where on the Canadian
side a tonnage many times greater
than that of the Suez canal passed to
and fro from Buffalo to Duluth dur
ing the open season of navigation.
Belle Isle Park has a shore drive
of 515 miles, a driveway of 14R
miles, gravel walks Y miles, flag
staff 1866 feet in height, the flag
itself 80 by so feet, a bridge crossing
from the mainland Jefferson av-
enue) half a mile long and which
cost in 1889 1926, 900, and, be it re-
marked, ZOO grounds of Is acres, in
which the almost prehistoric buffalo
roams free and undisturbed by out
side irritation.
The Day Of Small Things.
Belle Isle, yeals ago, was sold by
Indians for a barrel of whiskey, and
| remember very distinctly the bitter
that took place in the
Detroit common council regarding
the purchase of Belle Isle for the
measley sum of 100000, and the
decision to accept it at this price car
ried by a single majority vote only
and this at the instance of council
man known far and wide for a pro-
penurious disposition.
The first thing the common coun-
Gil had to do on taking possession Of
the park was to rid itself of innum-
erable rattlesnakes which had infest-
ed the island for years, Piggie was
the chosen vessel for effecting
clearance. He soon settled down to
business, clarified matters and got
fat on the process without so much
as upsetting the pork market for an
instant.

A reference to park acreages, other
than that of Belle Isle, is opportune
