They have already received support from many citizens who de-| sire to sce the work encouraged but can use additional cash contributions which may be made to Mrs. Robert; Orr, chairman of the park committee of the council. Through the efforts of the women of the council and the careful atten-| tion of A. F. McDonald the park al-| ready is blooming into a garden spot| in the city. Many plants and trees} set out last year are making excellent progress, and with continued effort and cooperation the women believe that they can make out of Custer park a spot that will be attractive; not only to every resident of Bismarck but also to visitors to the city. Donations This Year Donations which have been made for the park in 1922 are given by the| committee as follows: ‘Fortnightly! club, $5.00; P. E. O. Sisterhood, bed! of perennials; Mr. and Mrs. P.

Little, who then said he would be pleased to give an equal amount towards the purchase of another park site on the east side of the city. The land was deeded to the city. Trees were planted that spring, 100 trees being donated by O. H. Will. Impromptu exercises were held dedi- cating the park to the memory of General Custer. In October that year the services of a landscape architect was secured and a plan for the park laid out. During the summers of 1911, 1912 and 1913 the Civic League a pended over $1,100 for labor, trees and shrubs, water pipes and other minor expenses. In addition to the money expended, donations of trees were made by I. P. Baker and C. B. Little, H. A, Thompson donated labor in putting in water pipes, the Bis- marck Water Co. supplied water at bare cost: and the work was carried out under the supervision of T. R. Atkinson, without remuneration. Much Done in Four Years During a period of four years 400 trees and 150 shrubs were planted in Custer park, the retaining wall across Rosser street built, Thayer street laid ‘out and grades across the park, walks and water pipes laid in the block be- tween Thayer and Rosser and more than half of the four-acre tract plant- ed in grass, After the year 1918 there is no rec- ord of any work done or money ex- pended by the Civic League for Cust- er park. After 1915 the city commission was able to employ a man for park work during the summer months. In 1917 A. E. Preston was appointed custodi- an of the park and for two years took much interest in its improvement. trem Sept. 1915 to 1919 the city com- mission expended $1,400 on the park. “After ten years of such discour- aging conditions it is surprising that between 160 and 170 trees, fifteen clusters of spirea, nine of lilacs, and three of spruce survived, and at_ the present time make a beautiful show- ing for the work of those who did the pioneering in park work for the city of Bismarck,” says the council his- tory. New Effort Made In the spring ‘of 1921 the Communi- ty Council decided to undertake the beautification of the park and apnoint- ed Mrs. Robert Orr, Mrs. C. W. Moses, Mrs. C. L. Young, Mrs. F. R. Symth and Mrs. A. S. Hoffman in charge of the work. A great deal of work was done last vear, and the efforts this year are directed toward preserving that work and adding to it. “Every one who visits Custer park at this time must be convinced that its future sucesss as a beauty spot and recreation center is assured, and —ag such, the city should take great pride| Wi ful political maneuvering that this ac- tion was delayed unti] after March 4, 1861.

The method useé was an attempt at neutrality between the sections similar in some respects to the attempt of the United Staes to maintain neutrality between 1914 and 1917. Kentucky declared neutrality partly because public opinion in the}, state was not crystallized immediate- ly one way or the other and partly be- cause of the hope that by preserving neutrality between-the sections Ken- tucky might act as a mediator in bring. ing hostilities to an end. As the dif- ficulties of maintaining neutrality in- creased Kentucky passed into a posi- tion of armed neutrality.

HAYES BELIEVES NFUTUREOF | WINTER WHEAT —_—_— Br Fargo, N. D., May 19.—North Da- kota may become a winter wheat state in time, plant breeders at the Agricultural College say. They are working on hardy breeds .of winter wheat but admit that a number of serious difficulties must, be overcome before these can be overcome in North Dakota, The first great obstacle is that the winter wheat is not hardy enough to withstand the winters of this climat The second is that its hardiest strains are not rust resistant. ‘ (H. K. Hayes, plant breeder of the University of Minnesota, believes in the future of winter wheat in north- ern climates and has developed two hardy strains—Minn Turkey and Mian Hardy. One of the parents was Tur- key, a common — strain of winter, wheat which is grown from Kansas| as far north (to a Hmited extent) as Alberta, Can. The other was Odessa, a more rugged Russian kind. The Minnesota hybrids developed to be hardier than either the patent strains and it is with these that the North Dakota agricultural college men are; Ye ‘Conroe, Tex., May 19—The body of a young negro was found by Grimes county farmers swinging.from a tree by a roadside near Plantersville.
