McCorkle and Mr. Ratoy and if the trees are aflowed their natural" growth without Mng tom op by vandals, CanMlai parks will be benefitted greatly., from the standpoint of beauty. f A suggestion offered by intarseted citinns for the r^noval of the many unsightly stomps in svidenea in smne of ^ -parks, will be aetwl upon by the city aa labor permits. Baswall fans are eUtiM over the fine turf that has rewarded Raley’s efforts at the baseball lot. At no time in the seven years e^dstanceof the park has there been a finer play ing surface readied for the l|«sd>all season. Cmistant cutting and rakin|r, followed by mowing is responsible. It is pointed out that if the foetid field is accorded the same attention next summer and fall that it alao can be n^de just as interwting. Capt G. E. McGrew Gets Discharge From The Army Oaptatn O.
