Playground Ready
For Use Wednesday,

After hard work, both by men and
boys of the city who have been willing
to give their time to create play
ground for Marshalltown, the long ex-
pected recreation facilities will be
ready for use Wednesday, according
to Paul H. Mckee, who has been
working on the tennis and volleyball
courts in the fair grounds.
The finest tennis court in the city
will be ready for young folks to use
early tomorrow, and the volleyball
court later in the week. The tennis court
has been made on q plot Of ground
which has good foundation of Gin
ders which have been hauled there
every year at fair time. Sand was
mixed with the cinders, and a hard
and ,firm court is the result. The
Fisher Governor Company has donated
the iron pipe and other materials for
the back nets. The court will be
marked Off late tonight.
Tennis and volleyball will not be the
only amusements which the young
people will have access to. For the
little folks twenty four-foot slide has
been ordered, constructed of rock
maple, and standing twelve feet high
The slide Is a portable one, and will
be made perfectly safe, so that the
little tots may take headers with
perfect safety. The more adventure
some boys will find thrills to their
hearts content in the giant swing
which has also been ordered This is
large upright pole with six small
steel ladders attached to it. BY climb
ing on these ladders and whirling
around, any healthy boy can easily
imagine himself in an aeroplane, or
racing automobile. These two devices
will be set up and ready for use before
school begins.
Four more names have been added
to the list Of donors for the playground
cause, in addition to the Fisher Gov
ernor Company. Those who have con-
tributed since the last list was pub

Flow Stopped From Asher Creek Thru
Channel Spawned by Pipe.

The flow of water from Asher creek
into the channel that crosses under the
Center street road and that is spanne6
by the water main from the city wells
was stopped late Monday night by the
dam the city is building. The water
rose, then part Of it turned back and
flowed into the old channel of the river
The dam has been built at the outlet
from Asher creek into the channel
crossed by the pipe line.
Two rows of piling were driven and
faced with plank, and the space OF
about ten feet between them is being
filled with stone and earth. A face Of
stone and earth has been thrown up
on the upstream side Of the dam, and
wing walls are to be built on each sid :
to keep the water from cutting around
the dam 1t is said that when the wa
ter gets high enough to flow over the
dam that the flood will be spread out
pretty we'll all over the surrounding
low ground.

VIEW OF NEW LONDON SETTLERS
PROGRAM WAS CARRIED OUT LAST WEDNESDAY,

rounded by untold wealth in gold and
Jewels, because the spirit Of service
was not there; and none were willing
to work for others, will long be re-
membered by the audience. He also
paid splendid tribute to the "men
who wear the little bronze button"
the insignia of the Grand Army of the
Republic. He said: 1.-THE constitution
of our country forbids granting titles
Of nobility, but there are some things
recognize in this little bronze button
the insignia of the greatest title of
nobility ever granted to any man, be-
cause 1t shows that the wearer was
SO imbued with the spirit Of service
that he had risked his life in the serv-
ice of his country"
The next number on the program
was the beautiful Scotch ballad, "An-
ME Laurie" beautifully sung by the
Misses TAFT.
Harold Swenson then read a paper
prepared by V. E. Lawson, about the
events Of so years ago, mentioning the
townsites established in 1856, and Civ
ing an account of the finding Of some
of the written reports of Edward
Whitefield, the artist who accompan-
led the surveying party that laid out
the townsites in the original Kandi-
yohi county In 1856.
The program closed with few re-
marks from President Broberg.
After the program, game of ball
was played between the New London
and Grove City mines which resulted

P. D. Ringstrom, Adam TAFT and Gran
willie Abbott,

Rev. ]. o. Cavallin, who taught
parochial school in the vicinity of
New LONDON fifty years ago, and who
had come down from MoOrhead on In
vitation from President Broberg, one
of his former pupils, gave one of the
most interesting talks ever delivered
at meeting of the association. He
gave an account of his trip overland
from Carver to the New London set
Element, and of the outdoor school he
conducted, none of the cabins being
big enough to accommodate the pu-
pills. He spoke Of the Sunday serv-
ices, attended by the Scandinavian
settlers from Eagle Lake, West Lake,
Colfax and New London. He also
gave an interesting account of his ex-
periences among the pioneers OF the
Dakotas and in Texas. He made an
eloquent appeal for loyalty to the Un-
tied States and it's institutions. He
said among other things: FIFTY years
ago we could not have had meeting
of this kind, for We had nothing to
bind us together. Here was a SWed-
ish settlement, there German settle
ment, there an Irish settlement, In an
other place a Norwegian settlement,
and in another place Yankee settle
ment. Different languages, different
traditions, divided them. But now,
after fifty years we all meet as loyal
Americans with one common langu-
age, one common country and one
common flag, the glorious star SPAN
gled banner. We may cherish fond
memories of our native lands beyond
the seas, and there is nothing wrong
in that; but as citizens we know on
ly one country, the United States"
, A chorus of girls then sang Amer
ica," with the audience standing and
Joining in the song.
Judge r. T. DAILY of Renville was the
next speaker. He was listed on the
program as the orator Of the day. In
his opening remarks he disclaimed
this title, claiming that he is no or
ator, but before he finished his speech
he had proved conclusively that he
was mistaken and that the program
was right. After sketching the tre-
mendous progress made during the
past half century, he showed that all
this had been accomplished by hard
and patient labor, and that the future
of the country depended not so much
on the material wealth as upon the
willingness Of each person to do with
all his might the work that fell to
him. His beautiful word picture of
the magnificent Oriental castle where
all the inmates were found dead, sur.

also on wheels ready to cut you a fine

Cream parlors had a pretty float with
a couple at a table enjoying an ice
cream soda. Arne Larson, the har-
ness maker, was out on float demon
strating the arts Of his craft. The
Agricultural Department of the High
School had arranged a float on which
one young farmer was testing milk
and another tending q fine COW. They
had placed this admonition on the
float: "Patronize your home cream

lastly decorated auto, and Aim
stedt, the painter, afoot, advertised
himself with banner.
Among the specialties was one that
pleased the crowd very much-Mas'

Another thing that attracted a good
deal Of attention was Mr.. Stromme's
home made tractor, the drive wheels
Of which were the bull-wheels taken
from a couple of binders.
John Swenson carried an old har
vesting cradle which is now a curios
ity to the younger generation.
Last, but not least, came a comic
contraption made by the Stenbakker
Brothers which created much merr1

The boys left last fall In their little
Ford for Mexico, where they spent the
winter, making their expenses by SELL
ing soap and working part of the time.
They spent Sunday at the home OF
Mrs. Dina Olson south of town, and
stopped over night at the S. J. Erland-
son home in this village. Their trip
to Mexico and back was made in the
same machine. They said that the
Mexicans they came in contact with
were a lazy and uneducated people.
We were unable to find out how many
states they passed thru on their long
trip, but were told that during their
stay in the state Of Texas they called
at the homes Of the c. E. Redlund and
Martin Quill families, who are well
known here.-Grove City Times.
