The telegram, which was at 115, read as follows: “We will accept the Mason house and seven acres of our selection and $60,000 cash; same terms. Letter fol- low: recetved “American Thermos Bottle Co. By this it will be necessary to rais the $75,000, but if that should not be sufficient to complete the building the company will bear the rest of the ex- penge, Many got the impression that $60,000 would be all that would ha o be Taised, but that is not so as the purchase price of the property, $15,000 must be secured just the same. The new offer makes the amount definile, while previously money was being raised to meet the estimated cost of a building, which is liable to vary. Reports This Noon.

Large Attendance Expected at Meeting ~—What ex-Governor Hughes Thinks. The public meeting for the opening f the Playgrounds association in town hall Monday evening promises to bring out a large number of sympa- thizers. Ex-Governor Charles E New York in an address on Why Want Playgrounds said g We want playgrounds for children in order that we may conserye the health of our people. A great deal is bein done in these.days-to pratect us agains the spread of dlsease. We are fighting with intelligence and with new-found zeal the great white plague, but the dread disease of tuberculosis must be Hughes of We Monarch Bhirts successfully fought by _developing | stamina, physical strength, through exercise in all the physical activities. | We must nourish that strength in childhood ' We want playgrounds for children to conserve the morals of the people. My opinion is that the average boy is a good boy and the average girl is a good girl. I believe that the average man and woman would rather be right than wrong; I have a profound confi- dence in the capacity of humun nature to seize that which is good, to hold true to its ideals with a progress that s spiral, but none the less onward, al- ways pressing to humanity’s goul The best way to train a boy to d right is not to lecture him into tea about his wrongdoing, but to show him the delight of an honorable and happy boyhood. It is to give him op- portunity to prove what is in him In good works. And the good will always, in the maln, with exceptions that only prove the rile, prove to be the greater attraction. Boyhood and girlhood must have a vent in play. It is natural; it | is right If a boy or a girl is to take easily to moral instruction, to listen readily to the voice of conmscience, he or she must have a wholesome life. A few hours in the fresh air, a few hours of self-abandon in innocent fun, a chance to be a normal boy or girl, will do more to reinforce your moral lessons than many, many days of mere teach. ing. Thus the playground will be, without any direct effort, one of the regenerating and upliftine forces of the community. | We want playgrounds in order that | e may aid In the development of the | sentiment of honor. I do not know of | any better way to teach the boy to be honorable and straight than to give him a chance to vlay with his com- rades. In the playground he learns it without any suggest of rebellion against instruction ept and preaching. He learns it because he does not want anybody else to cheat "« Gold-filled Case for 810, Our guarantee with every Wateh, We advertise exactly ns ithe o —————— NURPHY & McGARRY, 07 Main Stroel We are closing- out all our Overcoats regardless of cost Now is the time to buy an Overcoat for present service or next Winte: while the prices are they can't go lower. ows to zere; Just look at these prices, but better still look at the Overceats. 312 315, $18. 20, $22. 324, . “Cluett” Overeoats Overcoats Overcoa Overcoats Overcoaf Overcoats Overcoats now now now $ 950 $11.50 #1480 now $16.00 now $17.30 now $19.50 now §20.00 Shirts LT The Home of Hart Schaftner & Marx finé clothes.
