WORK IS BEGUN
ON PLAYGROUND
FOR EAST SIDE
Expect to Complete Park
Before Approach of Hot
Weather.

Work on the creation of a park
for the children Of FL Centre s east
side has been begun. The deal for
the purchase of the park site has
been completed and when summer
arrives it is expected that a beau
tiful playground with wading pool
and various kinds of apparatus for
the entertainment of the children
will have sprung up on the tract.
The new park is located between
Olive avenue and Brighton street,
fronting on First street and occu-
pies an area of 800 by 600 feet.
Creation of the park will be under
the supervision of Herbert Fawcett,
park commissioner and X. II. Nc
Kibben, park superintendent.
Workmcn today began laying out
plans for the necessary improve
ments. The park officials have not
as yet completed details in regard
to the plans, but it was made known
that everything possible will be
done to make the place an attrac-
tive playground for the children.
In speaking of the park an Of
ficial Of the city made the follow
ing comment:
"We have at last been enabled
to give the children Of the east side
n playground. This feature has long
been necessity due to the fact that
the majority Of the children in this
district stay here throughout the
summer and are afforded little OPP
portunity to enjoy the advantages
of a wading pool and other play
apparatus.
every effort will be made to
make the playground an attractive
one and although we are unable TO
say at this time just how far we
will be able to go in the manner Of
equipment, the children may rest
assured that enough apparatus will
be placed there to keep them hap

KEEL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL

The wastefuIness of child labor, even where #
is under public regulation, is shown BY recent
reports gathered by the Women's Home GOmpan-
ion in Pittsburgh. There, as elsewhere, boys and
girls between the ages of IA and 16 can 90 to
work by obtaining employment certificates. The
records show that three-fourths of then leave
school forever at IA. Nearly half of then have
not gotten beyond the sixth grade in grammar
school. E1E aS ~ rs = aHs.~
Nearly ali of them get into routine Oh blind
alley jobs" which do not prepare them for any
specific adult work, the magazine observe finds.
They keep changing from one job to another and
lose so much time between jobs that they are idle
from 80 to As per cent of the time.
Thus the stale argument that it is often better
to quit school and "get an early start in life" falls
to the ground. With few exceptions, these boys
and girls do not get started. They simply founder
around.
"Send your sons and daughters back to school
this fall" is the observers verdict. "And keep
up the long fight for child labor Legislation that
will prevent needless parents and employersfron
depriving other boys and girls of the education
that this country offers free to its future citizens.

QUOTE GRAIN ON
PROTEIN CONTENT


Grain market reports quoting
premiums being paid for grain of
high protein content are appearing
in many newspapers of the state. The
reports are issued direct from Min
neapolis by the bureau Of agricul-
tural economics of the United States
department of agriculture with the
cooperation of the Associated Press.
The system of quoting grain prices
based on protein content as we'll as
grade was established in Montana
last year by the Montana Extension
service. The purpose of the reports
is to give farmers daily information
on market transactions, particularly
those which apply to Montana's high
test wheat, that the producer may
have the fullest information possible
to aid him in marketing his own
grain.
The reports as issued at the pres
ent time quote premiums for different
grades of wheat containing IL, 10
IA, and Is per cent protein. This
premium is added to the grade prices
quoted. The quotations are applied
to local shipping points by subtract
ing freight charges to Minneapolis
commissions and handling charges

HE HADN'T TINE

The funeral procession that held you up as you
were driving along the street was in honor Of a
man who hadn't time. He was only 81, yet in
that brief span of years had built a fine, sub
~stantial business. He couldn't be enticed away
from his desk. One meeting followed another.
One conference crowded upon another. His daily
correspondence was a veritable mound. He hadn't
time for anything but business-until they called
in the undertaken.
Most of us have the promise OF a good three
score years and ten. Twenty five of those years
we spend in growing up and getting prepared to
make good. Then, we work madly for another
25 years or so, promising ourselves to sit down
and enjoy the last 10 or 20 years with a big roll
in the bank. But the life insurance statistics
suggest that the promise is not always performed.
So why make that promise? Why delay the
fun of living until that golden moment Of your
dreams when you are going to take it easy? Why
wait?
Life is only so long. Nobody can crowd all
the good things it offers into a decade. Even
though you live, age will creep on to take away
the bloom from the things you planned to do. You
can't motor across the continental divide at GO
and get the same punch out of it that you could
have gotten at 40. At 60 you cannot hike IN the
: woods and brave the dangers of the outdoors a:
!. you did when young.
: What does it profit a man to gain the whole
s world and then shuttle off? What is the sense O
e making a great pile of money and lose the powel
to enjoy it?

OF CREDIT

cit would be as difficult to think Of Commerce
without insurance as it would to think Of banks
without deposits" says a national AUTHORITY on

is the very foundation of the vast system Of conn

where.
Of all our institutions, insurance is perhaR the
most universal, reaching in it's wide .swen an

And Of all our institutions, it is perhaps Che least
understood, and the most misunderstood, dsn;ta
the fact that as a means toward general ecaa,r;c
