AN OBJECT LESSON IN
COMMUNITY WORK.

We print on this page of today's
paper a report of the dedication or
The Jenkin Lloyd Jones State Park
at Tower Hill. The gift of this park
to Wisconsin, and it's dedication to
the memory of one who taught the
brotherhood of man and in his life
and character exemplified the high
est type of citizenship, are sur7ly
worthy of more than a passing men
ton. The throngs of people from all
parts of the State who gathered at
Tower Hill on Sunday afternoon tes-
tilted to the fact that the occasion
was not an ordinary one. The pur-
pose of the gift was epitomized in a
single sentence by Miss Lutte Z.
Stearns, when in her Introductory
address she said:
1.-THE park is to be for the people
of the state not only a place of rec
reation and amusement, not for
sports alone, but also for place of
recreation of body and mind and
spirit, place for the enjoyment OF
many of the better things of life."
1t is to the credit and honor of the
people of Tower Hill and around
about it that through all the years OF
their history they have been animat-
ed by high aims and purposes.
Would it not be well in our time
which many people not inaptly
term an age of frivolity-for COM
munities everywhere to give heed to
the lessons taught by the doings
herein mentioned? Let each COM
munity act well it's part, and the
spirit which moved the founders of
Tower Hill will move men and wo-
men to do great things for the COM
munity, state and country.

Ore Strata Accidently Discov-
cred While Drilling For q
Sewerage Purposes.

On Wednesday afternoon OF last
week, William Schill who was drill
ing in the lot of j. E. Gray Oh tnls
city, discovered a rich strata or leao'
lack and zinc blende ores at dls-
tance of rs feet below the surface.
The strata or vein measuring ABOUT
fifteen or sixteen feet in thickness
A hole was drilled in the property OF
Mrs. f. E. Hanscom to the right OF
the Gray lot and good cuttings were
obtained from this drilling. 1t was
rumored that shaft would soon be
sunk but there is not enough room
for such on either the Gray or Hans
com property. Mr.. Richard Jackson
whose property adjoins the Hanscom
lot has room to sink shaft to the
ore strata and it has been proposed
that company be organized to pro-
ceed with the mining project. At
present nothing will be done about
the findings.

Exchange: Leadership is the re-
quirement of those who would gov
ern the country wisely. That we are
in sore need of leaders at this time
is only too evident to the common
citizen" Milton branded spiritual
pastors who knew not how to shep-
herd their f1ocks, as "blind mouths" :"
In the state we need men of vision,
men who can and will carry out their
ideals in government. A leader is
not handicapped. He overcomes OBJ
stacles; his sagacity tells him how;
his tact gets him over difficult places;
his courage urges him on; his indom-
table will accomplishes the results.
To a leader helplessness is a vice
to be despised. How helpless our
governors seem at this time! With
all the machinery Of a highly train
ed government, those who represent
the people are impotent of lead the
country across the Jordon of strife.
Factions are eating one another up
and still nothing is done to get us
out of the difficulty. AS the Chroni-
cler of old said: "There was no
king in Israel: but every one did
that which seemed right to himself" :"

An event of great Importance not
only to southwestern Wisconsin but
to the whole state as well, took place
on Sunday October /, being the &C
ceptance and dedication of the
Tower Hill property presented to
the State by Mrs. Jenkin Lloyd Jones
for a public park, in memory of her

Dedicatory Prayer by Rev. John Fa-
vile, and Introductory Address,
by Miss Stearns.
The exercises were held at the
Jenkin Lloyd Jones auditorium in
the park. Miss Lutte E. Stearns act
ed as chairman. Her first thought
was that as the company was so
large and the autumn day so auspic-
ious, it would be most fitting to COM
mence the exercises by singing the
doxology. The dedicatory prayer
was offered by Rev. John Faville, a
long time and very close friend of
Mr.. Jones.
Miss Stearns, in giving the intro
ductory address, said that three
things which are so beautifully
represented in the park, beauty, SIM
picity and sincerity were taught by
the life and precepts Of the man in
The park is to be for the people of
the state not only place of recrea-
tion and amusement, not for sports
alone, but also for place of re-crea-
tion of body and mind and spirit, a
place for the enjoyment of many of
the better things of life.
History of Tower Hill, by Prof.
Schafer.

the State Historical Society, gave a
history of Tower Hill. He told about
the building of the old shot tower in

consin at that time.
Address by Miss Zona Gale.
+ Miss Zona Gale, member of the
Wisconsin Free Library Commission
and author, spoke on "Jenkin Lloyd
Jones' influence on the state, nation
and all humanity" To him life was
not a personal matter, but with his
energy and his sense of brotherhood
he proved his life to be creative
center for good and uplifting move
ments, Lincoln Center, Chica go, and
Tower Hill are memorials of his life
work.
Presentation of Tower Hill, by Mrs.
Annie Laurie Kelly.
"The presentation of Tower Hill to
the State" was by Mrs. Annie Laurie
Kelly of Tower Hill and Chicago.
She spoke as follows:
"From early boyhood Jenkin Lloyd
Jones knew and loved every rod of
this beautiful country and particular
ly this bit of ground we are dedicat-
ing today The winding river, the
skirting woods, the stately pines and
the historic interest of the spot ap-
pealed to his imagination. Many
years ago it attracted him as sum-
mer home and he had a vision of
what this Hill might be made to
mean to tired school teachers and
other professional people to city
bound children and hard working
country folk.
With the help Of his old friends,
DR.. William G.. Gannett and Rev. S..
H. Hunting, the title to the land was
secured and the dream began to
grow into a reality. During the last
thirty years weary city dwellers have
found recreation In the health giving

brain and spirit have breathed in
the inspiration to be drawn from nat
ural beauty, from science, art, poetry
and from benign social contact and
intellectual aspirations. Here child
rem have gone hunting without
gun; they have learned to name the
birds and flowers, they have made
friends with bugs and snakes, stars
and small furry things.
Always Mr.. Jones ideal was to
furnish a place where people might
come and go away feeling they had
made step forward in human pro-
gress, that they were happier, more
human, better citizens for having
been here.
Now that Mr.. Jones is no longer
walking the accustomed. ways, we,
Mrs. Jones, the legal holder of the I'll
tie to the land, and the old residents
of Tower Hill, wish to preserve the
place for all time to the uses of the
public. We know that Mr.. Jones'
tenure of this property was held by
him, as we're all his gifts, in the ma
ture of a trust for the service of his
fellowmen and we feel it would be
his dearest wish that this trust
should be perpetuated.
Therefore, believing as we do in
the great possibilities of this place as
a. public park, and the unlimited
power of the state as the years go on
to develop these possibilities, we, in
Lloyd Jones heartily and with great
pleasure join Mrs. Edith Lloyd Jones
| in rendering all the interests hither-
to held by her and us to Governor
Blaine, representing this great and
beautiful state, in the hope that it
may become one of the centers to
which it's people will turn for renew
al of mind and body, for uplift of
soul and sane and wholesome pleas

Acceptance of the Park, by Governor
John j. Blaine.
"The acceptance by the State and
naming The Jenkin Lloyd Jones
State Park at Tower Hill'' was given
by Governor John Blaine. He plead
ed for a greater brotherhood, exem-
plified in the life and character of
the founder of Tower HILL He spoke
of the generosity of Mrs. Jenkin L.
Jones in giving the property to the
state. In closing, Governor Blaine
said:
"This park today accepted and
I dedicated will no doubt be popularity
known as Tower Hill. 1t was so
known by Jenkin Lloyd Jones' Here
after, it will be officially known as
the Jenkin Lloyd Jones State Park
at Tower Hill, in honor of the citi-
zen and in recognition of his unset
fish devotion to democracy at home,
and to democracy as well, unrimm
ed by territorial boundaries, langu-
age or creed, and to democracy
everywhere.
"In behalf of the State of Wiscon-
sin and her people. tender to Mrs.
Jenkin Lloyd Jones and the residents
of Tower Hill sincere gratitude for
their generosity in making possible
the acquisition of this park by the
state. I take the liberty of dedicat-

AN IMPORTANT EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF AN HISTORIC S

for Tower Hill and it's people and
promised on behalf of the neighbors"
continued good will. Mrs Clancy
said:
"On this happy event I find pleas
ure in bringing to you greetings Of
the neighborhood. Having lived
through three epochs in the history
and evolution of Tower Hill l am
! filled with sense of satisfaction and
gratitude in seeing it dedicated to
ever higher and wider uses"
| "My earliest recollection of the
hill is that of the intensely busy
days when lead was being converted
into shot. Strange as it seems to us
! now the purpose was to supply that
which was destructive supply
that which made possible an open de-
fiance of the great commandment,
''Thou shalt not kill But the
world advances and we do become
more civilized"
"The next epoch in the history Of
the hill came with the advent of that
dynamic dreamer, Jenkin Lloyd
Jones. He founded here a summer
school of unique and unforgetable
charm-a school so in advance of the
times that even yet we scarcely real
ize it's influence. The always domi-
nant note in it's teachings was that
of unity-the brotherhood of man
the steady and practical promotion
of peace on earth, good will toward
all men," Placed where it was al
ways in view in this pavilion was the
famous motto: II shall not kill or
destroy any living creature needless
ly," and so the activities of the hill
evolved from destructive to who'll
constructive purposes. The great
message of the Prince of Peace re-
ceives high and reverent iuterpreta-
tion.'
"And now, to-day, as naturally as
seed bears blossom and blossom
bears fruit, we are inaugurating q
new epoch for Tower Hill and dedi-
eating it, as would surely be the wish
of him for whom it is named, to
"the greatest good of the greatest
number" To this end l gladly
pledge my own and the interest of
the entire neighborhood

Area of the, Park.
The park comprises 55 acres, over
looks the Wisconsin river and is sit
uated across the stream from the
village of Spring Green on Trunk
Highway No. IL. On this area the
/ village of Helena flourished from
1880 to 1860, and the remains of the
old shot tower testify as to the i'm
portance of this community in the
early day shot and lumber trade on
| the Wisconsin rivera trade that
was of great Importance in the early
development of the state. This park
possesses pleasant scenic attractions
and an abundance Of historical inter-
est and makes a valuable addition
to the park system Of the state.
