st. Olaf Lutheran Choir.

The ST. Olaf Lutheran choir. an or
ganization from st. Olaf college, North
field, Mimi, one of the colleges of our
church, will give concert in the Con-
gregational church at GAINESVILLE, Sat-
urday evening, April 9th, beginning at
500.
Last year this choir made concert
tour of the eastern states, including
New York, Philadelphia and Washing
ton in its itinerary. Karleton Hackett
has this to say of this choir in the Chi
cago Evening Post for May s, 1920:
.Tn my recollection there has been
no capella choir in America which
could compare with these young sing
ers from ST. Olaf"
The st. Olaf choir will also sing in
the University gymnasium April 7th,
tickets there being $l.OO and $500.
Tickets for the concert at GAINESVILLE
are all $1.50. Those wishing to obtain
tickets for the James lille concert may
do so by applying to the undersigned.

City Parks.

The Park board is now at work up
on the development of the Edgerton
Driving Park property. The old barns
and sheds out there are to be taken
down, the old fences torn up, and the
| ground cleared of rubbish and made
tidy and attractive. The athletic field
will be fitted up directly in front of the
grand stand, and features added for the
| enjoyment of the public. The water
mains were laid to the park gates last
fall, and the Park board is going to
connect there and take the water onto
the grounds This improvement alone
is half of the life of the park. 1t is
not going to cost great deal of money
to make this one of the finest athletic
fields in these parts. Perhaps the rear
of the grand stand could be built in for
locker and dressing rooms for the men
who take part in the games.
The Central park will be developed
slowly. The board had Miss Wright of
Milwaukee, landscape architect, here
last Monday for further conference up
on the plans and how to handle them.
The large paintings will go in this sea-
son, but the ornamental shrub and
flower decorations may not go in until
later. No band concerts are planned
for the park this summer as the streets
leading past will be torn up for paving.
Miss Wright is enthusiastic about the
possibilities of this park, but admits
that it will take considerable money to
have it developed according to the plans
adopted.
In this connection the Edgerton Coun-
try club may also be mentioned, though
its grounds are owned and worked, not
by the city, but by private initiative.
Things are taking shape out there, and
we. shall some day be mighty proud of
having such layout next to our little
city. Many larger city would be de-
lighted to own near it's limits such a
play ground site.

WHAT PROHIBITION HAS
ACCOMPLISHED TO DATE

The Hearst newspapers offered a
prize for the best answer to the ques.
tion, What has prohibition accom-
plished to date?" American Issue
several weeks ago published the prize
winning answer which appeared in
the Washington Times, which answer
was written by DR.. Sam Small
Following is the winning reply sub.
mitted to the San Francisco Elk.
aminer, written by VIII J. French
chairman OF the Industrial Accident
Commission OF the state of California: !:
Editor The Examiner.
Sir: Prohibition has accomplished
many benefits. but these three are
prominent:
1. Has divorced the liquor traffic
from its former semi-legal position as
a licensed business in which each citi.
zen was participant through federal
and state revenue systems, which
meant that the crime and social and
economic losses caused by intoxicat-
ing liquor were involved in partner
ship with all the people.
2. Abolished the saloon and thus
removed a source OF iniquity and the
most stafwart opponent Of civic and
political Righteousness in the United
States.
3. Has given children a better
chance for the future; has thrown
protection around girlhood; has af.
forded mothers security heretofore
unknown; has enriched the American
home, and justifes itself for these
reasons alone. for they are superior
to specious cries about personal lib
crty or opposition based upon appe
tite Or profit. WILL J. FRENCH.
