TALK GIVEN ON
MEMORIAL PARK
REV. A. G. BACON PLEADS FOR
SUPPORT OF PARK
PROJECT @

day evening OF last week, boosters Tor
the Memorial park project took advan-
tage Of the large gathering Of citizens
and through Rev. A. G. Bacon and DIR.
f. w. Kaliher gave them some data re-
garding same. DR.. Kaliher spoke brief
ly between band numbers and after
the concert, he introduced Rev. A. G.
Bacon, who spoke for about three quar-
ters of an hour on the park question.
Rev. Bacon said that it appeared
that the discussion Of the memorial
park project had developed considerable
heat among the citizens and but very
little light; that it had created bitter
ness and antagonism, but left the minds
of the voters in a befogged state, and
that it was his desire to throw bi,
OF light on the subject.
First, he said, the desirability Of q
memorial for our heroic dead could not
be questioned. When the boys left for
the war area they were told that
nothing would be too good for them
when they came back and this promise
should be made good. In the second
place, he said, the park project offers
far more suitable idea for a memorial
than any other suggestion thus far
made. Third, while the cost Of this
project should and must be considered,
this should not be the only or the de-
termining factor in deciding this i'm
portant matter, he said, adding that
the community that adopts niggardly
policy in it's memorials of the dead dis
honors itself and it's dead. In this
connection he said that while some arc
concerned about taxes and justly So. as
taxes are high, they will continue to be !
high for years until we have met all the .,
Obligations of the war and they would
have been still higher had Germany !,
triumphed. !
Reviewing the progress of the mem I
orial park movement, he said 'that it .
started shortly after the close OF the !
war through the organization of the :.
Morrison County Memorial Association. !
The directors of this organization de- |,
cided upon park as the suitable men, !
oral, same to comprise fourteen lots !
north and south Of Broadway, near the !
bridge. With the authorization of the /
memorial association, the Board of ,
Commerce and the city council, the ]
directors proceeded to acquire posses
sion OF the lots referred to, confident !,
that the citizens would support their :.
action. Consequently, Rev. Bacon said !
the issue to come before the voters at !
the special election Sept. 20, is whether ::
we shall endorse the action Of this COM
mittec or repudiate them. TO oppose |
them, he said, would be utterly despic- !
able, when they acted for what they |
believed was the public interest and ,
public will.
In conclusion Rev. Bacon said that !!
should the voters reject this proposal, /
the city will lose the opportunity to
secure this fine public improvement for |
all time, or if the lots should become ,
available again, it would be only at a !
greatly increased cost. Also if Little |
Falls rejects this proposal, it passes to
some other town in the county the op- |
portunity for the county memorial, as /
other places will be very glad to have |
it. Furthermore by SO doing, the citi-
zens repudiate the men who have Ia |
bored earnestly and faithfully in this
manner and thus administer rebuke |
to public spirited service.
Low GRADE APPLES GOOD FOR
VINEGAR
Apples are rather scarce this year (
and makers of cider and cider vinegar
should find it worth while to make full |
use Of the fruit, even going to the trou-
BILE of cutting away decayed spots that
the sound portion of the apple may be
saved. Worm-caten apples will spoil |
the flavor of the cider and therefore
should be discarded.
Cider for vinegar making should be !
put in new or sterilizcd barrels, filing
the barrels not more than two-thirds
or thrce-fourths full in order that air
may be admitted. The first fermen-
tation or "working' Of the cider may
often be fastened by adding to each
five gallons of cider one cake Of COM
pressed yeast. Temperature around IS
to IS degrees F. should be maintained,
if possible. When the cider has become
quiet, the clear liquid should be
Tracked" or siphoned off into clean
barrels in order to get rid Of the sedi-
ment. The clear liquid when in the
stage generally known as "hard cider' !
should be run into sterilizcd or new
, barrels, filing as before not more than
three-fourths full.
At this period of the process, the al
cohol in the hard cider is changed by
the action Of vinegar-forming bacteria
into acetic acid, which gives the char
acteristic sour taste to vinegar. The
finished vinegar should be ready for
use or sale within six months from
pressing. In experiments conducted at
University Farm, vinegar Of standard
strength a per cent acetic acid) has
been frequently secured in two and a
half months.
