PREPARE OPENING
Of BAYv|EW PARK
EARLY IN SEASON

Preparations are being made for
due opening of Bayview park the
coming season, and according to
present plans, the city will have di-
rect supervision of the well-known
resort There is every promise of
some big patronage out there dur
ing the summer, and to care for an
overflow of bathers, who are ex-
pected to be there daily, through the
season, plans are being worked out
for taking care of Me Sark.
One of these plans contemplate the
building of circular roadway, which
viii permit autos to enter the part
on Lee or Lloyd streets, the hard.
ened drive to extend along the edge
of the water and continue past the
pavilion, returning over the present
road, exit being on Blount street.
All autos, it is planned, will be re-
quired to enter and leave in this
manner, and some improvement will
be made in the park place between,
so that the cars may be left there
while owners and occupants enjoy
bathing.
1t is also contemplated to improve
the drainage facilities there for the
new season, preventing the washes
which have worked to the detriment
or the park IN the past. Just how
this will be worked out was not an
nounced yesterday, although consid-
cradle thought has been given this
problem.
With the increased citizenship. the
presence of service men by the hun
dreds, and the expected arrival of
many families here for probable
permanent residence because of the
new shipbuilding plant, there is ev-
cry indication that the park will cater
to record crowds. 1t VIII not be pos
sible to go to the gulf beach this
season as in the past, because of the
restrictions there. and bathing will
probably have to be confined to Bay
view park, hence the desire to get
the resort in the best condition pos
sible. All the commissioners have
interested themselves in the i'm
provements, regarding the place
almost a necessity since the island
or gulf beach has been closed by the
war department, and very early in
next month it is possible that actual
work will be started on the said i'm
provements.

900 bushels of wheat, 10000 bushels
of barley and $4,000 bushels of oats.
Ford got his troctor idea 80 years

he kept on tinkering with tractors

Ford believes the secret of the sue

increase farm production in Great
Britain These sell for $3.50. He

Now there are $4,000 tractors on
American farms. They burn gaso-

For the large farms in the West
the big steamer is alright; it will
hardly fit in on small farm of 100
