Some time ago the club women
of Webster City offered S25 in
prizes to the girls who would pro-
duce the best results in dressmak-
ing.
The rules were these:
Materials used in each dress to
cost less than "a.
Dresses to be judged according to
workmanship, cost, suitability foi
school wear and originality in de-
sign.
Work to be done entirely by con-
testants.
A massmeeting of girls was held
and seventy-fve entrants registered
More made dresses, but did not en-
ter the race. Seventy dresses were
completed. The main hall of Lincoln
school building was used for a dis
play room. 1t was filled with racks,
supporting such a charming array of
bingham dresses that it looked like
real ready-to-wear shop.
There was not a cheap or shoddy
dress on display, not one with
wrinkles or poor stitching. The
display was delightful symposium
of colors, pink, blue lavender and
green, while combinations of check
cred materials, trimmed in white
added the spice of their variety.
The judges, Mrs. w. E. Brown,
Mrs. ID. +. Jones and Mrs. j. A.
Dunkel, chose a plain green dress
for first prize. 1t was the handi-
work of Miss Airline Beck, senior.
1t won the S. prize.
The second prize of "a went to

made little green checked ging-

sign was so unique and so suitable

THE PLAYGROUND MOVEMENT
465 Cities Are Maintaing 1898 Play
grounds and Recreation Centers.

One of the great American de-
velopments of the past Is years has
been the movement for Fairgrounds.
Some years ago there was an enor-
nous amount of complaint about the
lawlessness of children.
Some people favored drastic pen
alties, but others said the best way
to encourage them to play athletic
games, and thus provide an outlet for
their intense activity. As a result
cities and towns all over the coun-
try have provided open spaces where
children can play. The effect has
been marvellous, particularly in
places where the boys and girls have
their play organized and directed.
The National Playground and Re-
creation association recently reported
that 465 cities and towns are main
tanning 1928 Fairgrounds and re-
creation centers under paid leader
ship. The results are suggested by
the experience of Chicago, where the
presence of recreation centers in the
south side of that city has reduced
juvenile delinquency by 80 per cent,
1t is cheaper to provide Fairgrounds
than to chase after the kids with
police and lock them up when they
do wrong.
All kinds of schemes for raising
money for this cause are reported
In many progressive places the
money is contributed out of the pub.
lie treasury. Many others. find il
necessary to secure them through
drives, stock selling schemes, etc
Any public spirited town can get tn,
money, if you present the merits O.

and civic organizations.
Well managed Fairgrounds pro
mote health, initiative, purity O
mind, cooperation, ambition, honesty
imagination, self confidence, obed
fence, justice.
They discourage idleness, delinqu
ency, exclusiveness, unfairness, gan,

WANTS MONEY EXPENDED ON

Plan Before Congress For Building
Permanent Highways Connecting
Cities and Towns Meets
Strong Opposition.

Washington,-A new element in
the good roads discussion developed
today when the American Farm
Bureau Federation, representing
members form every state in the
union, announced its opposition to
the Townsend road bill creating
trunk lines and specializing on roads
connecting cities. The federation
reiterated its stand for "farm to
market roads" as first to receive
federal assistance.
In describing the need of the farm
ers for better highways, Gray Silver,
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, said.
reports show the farmers repre-
sent go per cent of the buying power
of the nation and that the cities ale
as much interested in the farmers
having good roads to market as the
farmers themselves. The city con-
sumers must have his supplies de-
livered economically and regularly
and to bring this about farm-to-
market roads must be provided.
"The farmers feel that it is more
essential in the agriculture districts
to extend a considerable mileage of
useful roads than to build few per-
feet miles. In the construction of
highways the services which they
are called upon to render must be
taken into consideration, and they
should be so built that they will
carry in a satisfactory manner the
traffic which is to come to them.
THE granting of aid to the rural
highways by the federal government
has lent great impetus to road inn
provement, which should be con-
tinued by cooperation between the
federal and state government. De-
finite road programs have been
adopted in most states and adequate
appropriations by the federal govern
ment to meet such requirements
should be continued. Regardless of
the character of the roads that are
built, however, an adequat amount of
funds should be provided for their
ses.aa- 80 -------~--~------>-- So

Washington's Religion.

There has been considerable cOntro-
Sersy over the extent TO which relig-
ibus belief entered into Washington's
character. His own chronicles show
that most of his Sundays, except dur
ing the presidency, when he felt
obliged to set an example, he spent in
answering letters, going over his ac-
counts, hunting or doing any business
that those with whom he was negoti-
Rting had no scruples. In choosing
people to work for him he set up no
barriers of creed, Judging men from
the standpoint Of honesty, industry
and ability.

THE PROBLEM OF PROFITS
Feeling Profits by Many Corporations
Constitute Tremendous Evil.

Many people feel that the great
profits made by many corporations
constitute a tremendous evil, and
that some means must be found for
distributing these gains more fairly
among the people. Even during the
recent depressed times, many of the
concerns were making from 10 to
10 per cent, and during years a lot
them have Melted a good deal more
than that.
The question of what to do with
these accumulations of wealth some
times seems almost insoluble. 1t is
many sided. If you lay a heavy
tax on such gains, people will take
the money out of business and put il
into tax exempt securities, and labor
will not be employed.
If you should fix prices so that
profits would not exceed a Given
amount, you would discourage many
enterprises and slow up business
Furthermore the bulk of these pro.
fits are not used on personal extra.

enterprises, in financing factories anC
farms and constructing water power!
and buying production equipment
and so on in a thousand ways tha

more efficient. Profits reinvested il
that way benefit all of the people.
If more of these profits were dis

the people thus benefting would saw,
