. PARKS.-As soon as it begins to
get warm and lilac, vibUrnum, cOrnus
and other beauties dress up in the
parks to invite the public, our pulses
beat quicker and we feel a longing
to throw off the sadness of a long
winter and to hail spring.
49, The parks in their glory should
offer the citizens the place for real
recreation and the stranger, too,
should feel that he is entitled to well
come the season Of frOnc. But really
one does not know what the parks
are for, because they are not used
by the average family. The average
family is too busy entertaining it's
members and friends in the house or
in the country as to even take notice
of the parks and their worth.
Little groups of young folks mo-
nopolize the privileges of tennis
courts and the rest of the games
Sunday after Sunday. It is always
the same bunch, and a stranger feels
that here, too, he is not wanted. This
should be remedied. Our reformers,
if they really have the peoples vel
fare at heart, should organize park
clubs which make it their sole object
to promote recreation for strangers

This campaign is to be conducted

DISTRIBUTION


OF NECESSITIES. - The co-opera-
tive plan, as practiced in England
and New Zealand, of handling food
products by the consumer and for
the consumer is receiving increasing
attention in this country.
Because of the present unusual
conditions the Chicago bank clerks
and the Chicago Heights and Beloit,
Wis, factory employees have become
the latest units in the endeavor to
eliminate distribution overhead ex-
penses.
The system effects its saving in
pennies and dimes-smaI amounts
which Americans have never inter-
ested themselves in. This is a condi-
ton found in every land where the
limit Of natural resources has not yet
become visible.
But it may be that just now, when
prices are high and out of proportion
to wages, that cooperation viii be

is, mixed. No such FOOL thing as for
men or for women only. For the run
ming of these affairs there could be
an admission charged. No sane per-
son expects something for nothing.
The games to be played should be
such in which everybody can take
part personally could never en-
joy looking at baseball, tennis or, in
fact, any other game unless 1 was in
it. 1 might be a sport, but no fan.
Today the parks are empty be-
cause nobody cares to look at grass
and flowers all the time. What is
needed is a club for strangers only.
This club should meet on Sundays,
for that is the one day on which one
feels lonesome. ANY other day one
can employ oneself with work. To be
at home on a Sunday when all the
rest Of the house have gone out is
hOrrid.
Now 1 would like to hear what
other strangers have to say in regard
to forming such a club, even though
you belong to other societies that do
not help you on Sunday. The whole
week is. spoiled when Sunday is blue
instead Of red.-A Critic.
