This undertaking should re ceive the whole-hearte- d support of every citizen of this city, because there is nothing in the community so essential as a park and playground where the children can get good wholesome recreation, and the com munity can hold public gatherings, and enjoy the association of each other. So let every citizen pf this city get out Tuesday morning, it mat ters not whether you bring a team and wagon, a shovel or come empty handed, but COME, and the commit tee in charge will have a Job for all. Sometimes they will without any assistance from you but the certain way to make them come true is to lay aside regularly a specified amount of all money you earn.

Mother alwaya looked after the purse at our house. It waa kept In a little walnut box In the corner of the upper bureau drawer. Father, who waa skillful In the use of toola, had made the box for that It never had a great denl of money In It, as I recall, for I used to satisfy my curioaity when mother opened It to pay some small bill or to give father a little change when he went to town. We had no luxurtea in those farOur clothes were very away days. simple and very inexpensive. Our pleasures coat ua little. Prices were low, and there were heavy debts t he paid. But If there waa no money for luxuries, there alwaya seemed to be enough for things to read. Father and mother had been to school little, but they had early realized the value of reading. We alwaya had books and mngazlnea and newspapers In Interesting variety. If we were not up on politics and literature and religion it was not for lack of opportunity to left-han- d pur-poa- peed. I used to think that the percentage ef sermons at hand was rather larger than the demand required, but that, f course, was only a matter of personal opinion. There was poetry and biography and history, and I got a tasta of Action from the magazines which were not lacking In stories. There was a library In town, too, and In some way father found the Ave dollars necessary for me to become a member, for It was through the membership fees that money was raised to buy the books. The things we got out of the few dollars thus empUed Into our heads ran never be taken away. When mother's eyes failed and she could no longer read, the days and the long nights were never dull, she told me, for she had In her mind the memory of the tales she had read, of the aongs she had learned, of the precloua thoughts that had found lodging In her mind through those years of reading. Through this wisdom of father's In thus emptying his slender purse into our heads, I am sure I had become familiar with a thousand books before I was fifteen, and books, too, which I still remember and the Influence and pleasure derived from which no one ran ever take away from me. It Isn't so much that they made me wise, though I must have learned a good deal from them, but that they made me happy; they took me outside of my little narrow world and let me aee what lay beyond the horizon. It Isn't ao much that education, which Is another method of pouring money into one'a head, will help ua to make money. It will help us to lire more happily, to enjoy life more fully, t have more resourcefulness, higher ideals, a deeper Insight Into human nature. (, UK, Him Naapapr Uaioe.) I THE HOLDUP By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. THKHK was holdup down la one morning last summer a really dreadful thing for a quiet country town and qulta unex pected. It wouldn't have happened. It is very sure, if It hadn't been for automobiles and hard roads, two recent novelties In Thomasvllle. The hard road that connects the little village with the metropolitan centers of the country had JUBt been opened with appropriate ceremonies, and about the same time the Thomases for whom the village had been named had car bought a wonderful It was this car that the robbers got away in over the hard road that bad Just been finished. The holdup dropped out of a clear sky one bright spring morning Just as people were rousing for the work of the day. A dozen men appeared sud denly, brandishing huge revolvers, or shotarmed with villainous-lookinguns, giving orders to people who were not uted to being ordered about, getting everyone out of bed who bad not already arisen, herding them lnta one central place at the point of a revolver, and frightening the women, not to speak of the men, into a nerr-ou- s collapse. Then they went through the houses, looted the hunk. Jumped Into the machines In which they had rome In addition to the Thomases', which they had appropriated, and drove away with the money anil other loot which tbey had collected. The city papers were full of the outrage the next day and amazed at tha nerve the bandits had exhibited. It was something dreadful poor man robbed, women and children half frightened to death, and tha money loss was not Inconsiderable. I saw Jim Folkner two or three months after the thing had happened, and he told me about It "Of course I'm against holdup In general," he said, "but I belleva thtr one waa a good thing for Thomas vllle." "How so?" I asked, alwaya having looked upon a holdup as something to be avoided and to be abated. "It'a brought the people together. There was a lot of quarreling and Jealousy among the 'high hats' before. The Thomases hadn't had anything to do with the Snydera for years. Roma-bod- y was always pulling and hauling at somebody else. The half-hou-r that they spent huddled together In front of the city building looking Into a xhootlng Iron stoped all that. The Hons have been lying down with the lambs as quietly as two kittens sleeping In a basket since then. There's unity In Thomasvllle, there's friendliness and and the people are awake. I don't hanker after either earthquakes or holdups, but If a holdup doesn't cost more thnn two or three thousand dollars It would be good thing for some towns to Invest In." All of which goes to establish Las truth of the saying that There' loss without some small gain." a d g (fZX HI'. WMlarn CHICKS LEGHORN From Selected hens mated with record males.
