be accomplished by individual effort alone.
 The plan as formulated is cosmo- politan in every respect. It is non- sectarian, non political. A man may have much or little means. It mat ters not, all may receive their share of the benefits to be derived there from if he so wills, regardless of the amount which he gives, be it money or labor.
 AS to the cost an erroneous idea seems to prevail also. 1 can state automatically that there will be no expense to the public for the loca ton. The land is offered as a free gift to the association by Major Wilcox, with the simple provision that $2,OO0 be raised by voluntary contribution, as a fund for the fitting up and maintenance of the grounds and as a pledge of the communitys desire for this improvement.
 It is thought that much of the necessary labor can be done through the personal efforts of those willing to take part therein, thus rapidly putting the grounds into condition for early use while at the same time creating an interest and fellowship in a common enterprise in which each person according to his ability and opportunity has a part.
 If any man or woman, boy or girl, feels that he or she cannot help or thinks the effort hopeless or doomed to failure, I simply ask that person to be fair. DO not hinder by word or deed. Nothing worth while in life has ever been accomplished through a spirit of hopelessess or non-con- structive criticism. Thorough belief in the ultimat te success of the thing we undertake goes far towards it's accom- plishment.
 This is not an untred scheme, It has been worked out successfully in many towns and villages in this co In- try can make it a success here.
 By uniting Wholehe lea rtedIy in this work, putting our shoulders to tie wheel with no thought of failure this can be made one of the finest institu- tions this town ever had. Properly conducted it will bring to us new and desirable citizens. It will make bet ter citizens of those already here. It will teach true America nism and it will be vital factor in the building of strong upright character among those future citizens who are soon to take part with us in the affairs of the town.
 Any person in the slightest degree interested in this undertaking should make an effort to attend the meeting in Berlin Town hall Tuesday evening, April IS, at o'clock, there to take part in the organization to be then effected. If we fill the hall the thing will go easily for all concerned. A willingness to work and a kindly spirit will help much.
