childhood demands, we cannot exs

tai vigor in the years of maturity.
The child finds its salvation IN the
Fairgrounds; and this movement Is
growing SO rapidly that soon the
town or city without adequate play
ground facilities will be considered
an unsafe place to live in, and totally

The movement locally is still
young. The future will determine
whether or not u community will
be considered a back number, con-
sidered safe to live in. We are well
on the way, but there must be no

recent summers work has not been
in vain, and we need only look to
the future to see childhood develor

FORM ASSOCIATION
 TO BUY PROPERTY
Arcanum Club Members Com. plete Arrangements to Pur-
 chase Gardner Place
George Psdgett Heads Trustees Who
 Will Manage New Venture

As a result of the second meeting of the Arcanum Club held Wednesday evening, there was perfected n per manent organization to be known as i the Arcanum Association, which is to purchase the Gardner property on l South Main street from the town of Putnam for ss,250 Nearly all the members of the Arcanum Club will be shareholders in the association, which will lease the property to the Arcanum I Club for permanent headquarters and will act as agent for the other two houses on the property. these latter places being the ones fronting on 1 School street and which are occupied by three tenants.
 Elect Five Trustees
 The purchase and management of l the property will be in the hands of five trustees. who will act for the whole association in practically every thing. They are: George L. Padgett, George P Miner, A. w. Marcy, Ralph C. Bradford and John. Slattery. It was the first three named. especially Mir. Padgett. who are responsible for creating the interest in the proposed purchase of the property by an asso- citation made up of Arcanum Club members, and who have put the prop osition over so decisiyely.
 To Issue sioo Shares
 Through the issuance of Si00 shares, bearing ! 70 interest, the prop osition will be financed. Shares are being taken even at this late hour, ga ! it is hard to state with any degree of aceurateness just how much has been pledged to meet the cost of buying the property. But at last reports total i of S7,s00 had been pledged and when | it IS stated that no member Is allowed to take more than two Sl00 shares, it will be seen that the total of $7,2OO represents a large percentage of the entire membership of the club. When | the club had to move from it's Main street location, because the building was sold and is going to make room for the new Savings Bank building, the club membership stood at 60.
 To Remodel Building
 That the Gardner property will be transformed into a modern, attractive and comfortable city club, is the in- tention of the new Arcanum Associa- tion. A part of the south side of the building will be extended about 10 feet and numerous interior alterations will be made In addition the place will receive a thorough renovation. and considerable attention will be given to refurnishing.
 At the meetings of the Association on Saturday and Wednesday nights, the draft of the constitution was read by Judge Geissler, while the financing of the proposition was outlined by State Treasurer G. Harold Gilpatric. Ex- Mayor Marcy presided in the absence of Dr. Baldwin, president, who was confined to his house by ill., ness and Attorney Arthur s. Mac donald served as secretary.
