Purchase of a tract of approxi-

from the Upper Palisades to en-

said to be under consideration byI
the State Conservation Commmsion ]

Des Moines. The land is a nar-i

what is known as the Havlik farm, I
reaching from opposite the old I
quarry below the Upper Palisades
to opposite the Berry farm above
the Upper Palisades.
The land is claimed by the pres-
ent owners to 'be overflow land
caused by the Palisades dam. It
was surveyed two years ago and
the Commission has dickered with
the owners, so far without results.
The Des Moines dispatch says the
Commision can let the owners
claim damages in court, condemn
it or buy it. They are said to favor
buying but feel that additional
damage claims may ,be made. If
the land should be purchased it is
planned to make it a game refuge.

PLAYGROUND TO
END SUCCESSFUL
SEASON FRIDAY
Instruction G i v e n
Children In Arts
and Handcrafts
The playground will close for the
summer Friday afternoon. A one
o'clock 'picnic is planned for all the
boys and girls who have registered
and have been attending through-
out the summer. Each person will
furnish his own food and dishes
except for the ice cream which will
be free.
The playground has been a great
success. There were 158 boys and
girls registered who participated in
many of the activities of the pro-
gram. Instruction was given in a
great variety of ~.rts and handcrafts
and most of the boys and girls took
advantage of the instruction to
make many useful articles.
The playground has given every.
boy and girl of the community the
advantage of participating in or-
ganized recreation under proper
supervision. This is an important
factor to the parents as they must
be assured their children will re-
ceive proper care and guidance be-
fore they will support such a pro-
gram.
The Lions Club,. who were the
sponsors of the playground, wish to
thank all those who have contri-
buted money toward the project.
They especially wish to thank the
Rotary Club for financing the pur-
chasing of some of the equipment.
They also wish to thank all the
camp-fire girls for their help in in-
struction and supervision on the
grounds.
The playground was under th(
capable supervision o,f Ralph Carl,
principal of M.V.H.S. and Charles
i Hokonson.
docked at Rio de Janeiro, which is
considered the beauty spot of South
America. The first view the pas-
sengers had of Rio was sunrise
at 6 o'clock, which gave them the
full benefit of the beauty of the
harbor and the picturesque city
snuggled in front of the high moun-
tains. Two of these mountains in
particular are famed for their size
and shape, Sugar Loaf Mountain
and the Corcovado. On the ti.p of
the latter is a huge one hundred
and ten .foot statue of Christ called
the Christo Redemptor.
While in Rio the Burgstahlers
took a trip into the mountains and
to the botannical gardens, which
establishment, incidentally, is sup-
plying the New York Fair with
orchids. After one day in Rio,
Santos was the next stop, which
was only an over-night trip.
The ship docked at Montevideo,
enroute to Buenos Aires, which city
is frequently termed a second New
York. Three days were spent in
this interesting though less pic-
turesque city of South America.
Buenos Aires was at one time the
melting pot for surrounding coun-
tries and now consists of a number
of races, though Spanish is pre-
dominately spoken. There are so
few American tourists here that
even the guides speak little Eng-
lish.
Buenos Aires was the most
southern point of the trip. Upon
leaving there the ship went back
to Montevideo and Santos where
they stopped for two days while
the boat was loaded with sixty
thousand bags of coffee to be
brought back. While there, pas-
sengers went on the cog railway
to Sau Paulo to visit its famous
snake farm which has just recent-
ly perfected a serum that makes
the user immune to the deadly
snake bites which are received in
the jungles of South America.
From Santos the return trip took
them back to Rio and from there
to Trinidad, which was their last
stop. The latter is an island
nearly sixty miles long which offers
an abundance of fruits familiar to
that region.
The souvenirs which the Burg-
stahlers brought ,back with them
include a num,ber of plates and
trays which were purchased at
the butterfly factory in Buenos
Aires. They have a smooth chrom-
ium base, then a layer of delicate
butterfly wings covered with a thin
plate of glass. The hand-hammer-
plates are also very beautiful.
Mrs. McGraw Will Sell
Property And Effects
A public auction of real estate
and household goods will ,be held
,by ,Mrs. Nora Mcgraw at her home
a block south of the C. & N.W. de-
pot on Second Ave. N., across the
street north of the Emerson Shot-
well residence on Saturday, August
19th, commencing at one o'clock.
The property and the household
goods to ,be sold are described in
an advertisement on page three.
W. E. Challis will be the auc-
tioneer and Dave Mueller the clerk.
George Vislisel Combines
Alsyke Clover Last Week
George Vislisel combined eight
acres of alsyke clover on Friday
which was picked up from wind-
rows. The yield was a little over
two bushels to the acre. This is

clover which we have heard about
locally.
Hannah Road Gang Moves
Equipment From Vicinity
The equipment of the J. B.
Hannah grading gang was moved
out of this vicinity on Tuesday af-
ter completing the finish work on
the roads which had been graded
during the summer.
The Milholin road was finished
last week and the installation of
the large culvert north of the Mar-
ley D. Clark residence was com-
Meted on Saturday.
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE
ROLLER SKATING PARTY
The Union Young People were

ty at Udeson's skating rink in Ce-

of the group went to a show.
On Saturday evening the group
held an ice cream social on Wolfe's
lawn. The proceeds will be used
to pay ~for redecoration of the old
Methodist Parish house, which the
group has just recently finished.
The second term of summer
school will be completed this week
end and the Bowman Hall Cafe-
teria will close on Saturday noon.
