| Mr.. Kasparek indicated that the
park board would make an effort to
get the city to hire man for period
of four months during the summer to
take care Of the park and to clean up
the corral. He said that thus far the
park board and committee have done
| all they possibly could do with the
funds available and for this reason
criticism was unwarranted. He also
said that the people who contributed
to the park want to have say as to
how the money shall be expended. Mr..
Dewey has been taking care of the
animals at the park free of charge
ever since they were placed there and
the club, upon motion of Mr.. Kas-
! parek, voted to extend him a sincere
vote Of thanks for his good work at
the park.

ton placing the club On record as sup.

pressing appreciation for the loyalty
of the boys who have enlisted and
their parents in allowing them to go,
urging the farmers and gardeners to
try to increase the crops and urging a
more general display Of the American
! flag in this city. Mr.. Williams offered
an amendment to the resolution plac-
ing the club on record as favoring Sc
lective military service. The resolu-
ton was passed as amended, there be-
ing no discussion on the amendment.
On motion Of A. H. Vernon the
chairman was instructed to appoint a
committee to act in conjunction with
the government commission in en-
couraging the use of vacant lots for
gardening.
| w. J. Falk suggested that the club
go on record as favoring the proposed
plan of the fixing Of a price on farm
products by the government, to pro-
tect the farmers. This, he said, would
encourage the farmers to grow larger
crops and it woula eliminate specula-
ton. He said that It is not very pleas
| ant for the farmers to grow crops and
place them On the market subject to
! the explorations of the stock gam
blers. President Sylvester said that
he doubted whether fixed price
| would eliminate speculation. He said
! that he believed they would speculate
on $3.50 or $3.50 wheat the same as
| on $1.08 wheat. Mr.. Vernon, on the
other hand, agreed with Mr.. Falk and
said that he believed speculation at
this time should be absolutely pro-
hibited, but he said that it would prob
ably be best to wait until the commits
sions which are investigating these
matters have made a report before
the club takes any action along this
line. He suggested that the matter go
over to the next monthly meeting, by
which time a report would probably
be had from the commissions.
President Sylvester was instructed
by the club to appoint a committee to
arrange for entertaining the editors
who will visit this city in July, on a
COuF VI Liz NdClOHdl LultOI1dl HSSO-
citation at that time as part of the
national convention in the twin cities.
It was suggested that Ed. M. LaFond
of the Transcript and Peter j. Vasaly
of the Herald be included in the COM
mittee.
D. X. Harting brought up the mat
ter of having the traffic guide posts
put back on NE street intersections.
He said that in nearly all cities of any
size they have them and they are very
necessary to protect pedestrians. M.
M. Williams said mat such guides
should be used. He said that. in all
the large cities they have them and in
many places they even have small
parks at intersections where number
Of streets meet, and the people are
forced to drive around these centers
in going onto another street. They
are in the interest OF public safety,
he said, anu should be used. On mo-
ton by Mr.. Harting the club voted to
have the chairman appoint a commit
tee to wait on the council and request
that the signs be put back on the
