PARK BOARD plans
TO PLANT HILLSIDE
First Contract Is to Put in Tree
Windbreaks; To Plow
Tract This Spring

The Par: board took up the beau
LITIGATION and development of Hillside
park at meeting at city hall. Mon
day evening. The first step was to
award shelterbelt contract to the
Northwestern Nursery company of
Valley City. on a bid Of 1854 SUBJ
mitted by H. A. Mutchler. the local
representative. Various types Of trees
will be used.
A landscape plan also was submit
ted BY Mr.. Mutchler. The board took
no action on this, as it involves an
expenditure Of possibly 5000. With
only $500 q year appropriation APP
proximately, any such development
as this blueprint proposes will have
to be dealt with in annual units.
The plan is to fill the park with
trees, shrubbery and flowers. but tree
planting probably will be carried on
slowly. to watch results and check up
on the problem Of water.
One OF the first steps in developing
Hillside treat into a park will be to
pillow it up this spring and prepare
the soil for the planting OF flowers,
sowing Of grass seed and planting of
trees and Shrubbery.

SPEECH IN SPAIN

When fear seizes potentatrs no
effort is too far fetched if it promises
to serve as a means to continue in
power. Thus Premier de Rivera of
Spain, alarmed over the extent of the
recent attempt at revolution, has
taken a leaf from fascism by virtual
ly ordering King Alfonso to issue a
royal decree abolishing free speech,
the freedom of the press, and giving
the so-called patriotic Union" the
right to list all persons suspected of
having mind of their own. Troops
numbering 10000, believed disoyal,
have been given leave of absence.
Thus the Spanish dictator hopes to
maintain himself. The recent revoln-
ton, engineered among the military
failed only because of fluke. There
is no telling what may happen when
the next one rolls round.
One thing the dictator cannot CON
troll, and that is the power to think.

with one of more permanent material
deserves to succeed. A special com
mittee will SO report TO the Com
mon Council and the latter is oX-
pected to request the park board TO
take this into consideration. The

Q. Could the eighteenth amend
ment and tho Nolstea1 Act be
changed now?
A. To repeal the 18th Amend
ment would require the adoption of
another amendment by two-thtrds
majority of Congress and IT'S rati-
fication by three-fourths of the
states. The Volstead Act, which in
terprets what constitutes intoxicat
ing beverages. and provides the
methods Of enforcing the amend
ment, can be amended or repealed
by a simple majority OF congress.
Q. Who invented or discovered
radio?
A. Radio communication is not
an invention. nor in reality dis
covery. The theory was known long
before anybody was able to apply it
in practice. Numerous inventors were
trying to devise apparatus that
would make the theory work. For
this reason, several different prac-
teal systems of wireless telegraphy
appeared about the same time. Mar
conf had the good fortune to be
first. but he distanced his nearest
competitors by only short time. 1t
was only by accident that electrical
communication by wire was perfect
ed before electrical communication
without wires. as both are implied
in the electrical knowledge that pre-
ceded them, and inventors were
working in both fields for many
years before anybody in either
group succeeded.

Richard married: Was he ever d.

A. The late George L. (Tex)
Rickard was never divorced. He

at Fort Worth. Texas. She died
shortly after giving birth to a son.
The son was called George l.. Rick
ard, Jr, and he died a few days
after his mother. Richards second
wife was Mae Meyers. whom he
married in 1902 at San Francisco,
California, and they had one child.
