The children of LaFarge and vicin-
ity are to have public play ground
that would be a credit to a city OF
5000 people. The city park is to be
fixed up properly and given over for
that purpose. The Parent-Teachers'
Association have turned the funds
they earned in on the work of fixing
up swings, ETC., which was a very
thoughtful and logical way of dispos-
ing of the money.
The Western Wisconsin Base Ball
League Park at this place is second to
none in the valley, as neat as pin
with all the ball park requirements,
but it is too ciose to the Kickapoo river,
is a possible objection that has been
raised. In the two league games play
ed here this season some 8 or 10 balls
have been 'fouled into the river and
lost; vet it would be about as easy to
move the river as the park, so grip
full of balls at every game will have
to constitute a part of the program
at each game.
