Roses at Walnut Hill to Be Planted This Fall-Plans Made to Beautify Rock Garden and Gold Fish Pool

Many gifts of flower beds for the parks are being made to Park Superintendent Clyde M. Ellingvood and other local residents are con- templating the gift of rose beds for the memorial rose garden in Walnut Hill park, the beds to be planted this fall
 Several beds of fuChsias, Cannas and other flowers have been planted in Stanley Quarter park, the flowers being the gift of Charles Gedraitis.
 Hundreds of dollars worth Of flowers for other beds throughout the parks are being given by local residents continually since the park it's campaign to beautify the parks. Many a family desirous of perpetu- ating the memory of a loved one in some way other than merely the orthodox tombstone have express ed it's intention of donating a bed in the memorial rose garden.
 In the other rose garden in Wal nut Hill park, in the iris garden, or among any of the numerous flower gardens through the city's thousand acres of park property flowers of all kinds are acceptable, MT. Filing wood reports. In the memorial gar den only roses and only full beds will be accepted.
 MT. Elhngwood is planning an- other addition to his hot beds in Walnut Hill park, which addition will give him the nearest thing pos sible to a green house until sufficient money is available for this much needed accessory.
 To Beautify Rock Garden
 At the new rock garden and gold fish pool in Walnut Hill park the uperintendent plans additional planting and beautifying this fall so as to cover the bare concrete ap- pearance of the pool. The small fountain and brook created to feed this pool have developed into fav- orite bathing and drinking place for birds and many beautiful feathered visitors are seen fitting among the rocks.
 Walnut Hill park now has 30 rose beds outside of the memorial rose garden. Additional gardens are being planned now for dahlias, asters, Chrysanthemums, gladioli iris, and various types of rock garden plants. Cannas. hollyhocks and in fact any kind Of flowers will be accepted by park officials and planted in suitable places,
 There are IS flower beds in full bloom in that park, with flowers started this spring in cold frames. MT. Ellingwood feels that this is d reason why greenhouse is needed.
 The cold frames and new drink ing fountain near the wading pool

are typical of the ingenuity and re- sourcefulness of the park superin- tendent. The park board had no money for a green house, so the superintendent built a series of cold frames which served at least temporarily.
 New Drinking Fountain
 Then it was desired to remove the :. drinking fountains from their pres- ent position near the wading pool. They were declared unsightly and more or less of a nuisance.
 The commissioners were sorry. They would like to change the foun- tains, but how could they? With more park land to care for than ever before, and their appropriation cut to 75 per cent of the amount actual ly needed for maintenance, no new work could be considered. -
 But the superintendent built the new fountain and he proposes talk ing out the old one. With no addi- tional cost to the city the new foun- tain was constructed with a small quantity of concrete, two cast-off terra cotta pipes, and a few feet of water pipe. A park employe did the work and an ornamental fountain. with pedestals for children of differ ent sizes, now ornaments the rear of Ahe north side shelter house.
 The park board will meet with the Chamber of Commerce committee on Thursday evening at s o'clock to arrange a program for the opening of the municipal golf course.
 Plans are under discussion for the opening of the new wading pool at Washington park. The cement is being poured now and nothing re- mains but to add the sprinklers. which will be provided by residents of that section, and to wait few days for the concrete 10 set.

 Michigan Gets Rain
 Another million dollar rain" washed away the worry of the Michigan fruit belt farmers, but agricultural experts in Iowa were shaking their heads over the "enor- nous damage done to corn in that state. The damage to corn to date was placed at more than 45,000,00G bushels. Temperatures ranging from 1O2 to 10S weren't helping matters any.
 There were heat deaths and nu- merous doWnings. Near Brule, Wis, where Calvin Coolidge spent his last vacation as president, a man was killed and eight wene injured when a lightning bolt struck the porch on which they were seated.
 Five Chicago Deaths
 Five deaths directly attributable 10 the heat occurred in Chicago, bringing the total to 3 for the three latest hot days. The summer death toll from heat in the Chicago area is approximately 50.
 Showers and shifting winds were counted upon by the weather bureau to wash and blow away the heat in many sections of the middle west today, but chief hope lay in the cool wave moving down from the north west.
