BAY VIEW PARK
! CASE REVIEWED
Concert Given There Last
Night Showed Need for
Larger Site, is Claim

The holding of the municipal
band concert at Bay View Park last
night served to renew the agitation
started some time ago to have the
city purchase the properties adjoin-
ing the park site in order that a
larger and more attractive munich
pal park might be had there. The
aldermen about a year ago took up
the matter of purchasing the prop
erty adjoining Bay View Park in
order to enlarge it hut nothing
definite ever came of this action.
The large crowd present at The
concert last night found it difficult
to find places in which to make
themselves comfortable during the
entertainment, comment being
heard on all sides that the city
should purchase the rest of the
property adjoining the park on both
the north and south in order to
have a place sufficiently large to at
tract and accommodate the crowds
which grow larger with each con-
cert.
Now that the purchase of addi-
tional property to make possible the
enlargement of Bay View Park has
again been agitated it Is likely that
the Board of Park Commissioners
will consider it at their text meet
ing and make a request of the al
dermen that the city purchase it
as another step forward in carrying
out a comprehensive park system
here,
The property adjoining extends
from Water street to Front street
and hence out to the water, having
it is understood. riparian rights. Re-
alizing that certain mercantile or
manufacturing concerns might Sc
lect this site. buy it and thus block
the plans of the city to extend Bay
View Park in the future, it is even
possible that the aldermen will give
the purchase of this tract serious
consideration at their committee
meeting tomorrow night.

RouHtiful Crops in Russia

MOSCOW, Aug. Smother Ma
tqre appears to be trying to make up
to Russia for what she did to her
last year. Accurate estimates of the
grain crop of 1922 still are lacking,
but from nearly every province re-
ports pour in to Moscow that not in
many years have such growing crops
been seen.
When rains were needed they
came this spring in a profusion that
made up for last years drouth.
When sunshine was necessary it was
on hand. Unless some unprece-
dented weather condition develops
between now and the time Of the
harvest, practically every bushel
OF seed that was planted last au-
tumn and this spring seems sure to
bear fruit.

Cards Of Thanks Condemned.

One Wisconsin publisher objects
to the printed card of thanks,
whether it is paid for or not. He
says: For the relatives of the de-
parted member of the family who
wish TO thank those who assisted
them, it is much more TO the point
to go personally to those friends
and express their gratitude. To
make a public demonstration in
the newspaper is in extremely poor
taste. Persons who try to allevi-
ate the sorrow of friends and
neighbors do so with no expecta-
ton or desire to be publicly thank
ed for such services; nor are they
entitled To such distinction for
performing a Christian duty. -
