The man in the street may tay that the playground movement is a mere fad or frill of modern life, promoted by visionary peo ple. He may remark sneerinjjly, that when he was a boy the kids could play all right without having anyc.ie to tell them how or furnish them any place. Yet where they 'iave opened grounds for this purpose, and had them handled by people who know how to supervise such work, people are enthusiastic over the results achieved. The experience of Findlay, Ohio, may be interesting. A year ago at this time, they had no playgrounds. There was strong opposition to spending money for this purpose. The city authori ties were unable to give the project any financial support. The chamber of commerce pushed the project actively and $1500 was raised by subscription to open two grounds, and the chamber undertook to see that they were properly supervised. A seven acre field of corn stubble was turned into an athletic ground, and other tracts were opened for this purpose. The re sults have been so admirable that public sentiment, is now con verted to the idea. Two hundred and fifty parents turned out to one of the final events of last season's work. One family with eight children sends the whole flock of them to the grounds each day. Before the days of playgrounds the kidlcts of city and town life would be hanging around the streets enjoying idle mischief and picking up bad habits. But when they attend a supervised playground, they are taught games where ideas of fair play, of team work, of courteous conduct are emphasized. An outlet is given for their animal spirits and desire to enjoy competitive ?port3. The chances that such young people will develop into use ful citizens is greatly increased. WELCOME TO OUR CITY. To the visiting merchants who have assembled in Roseburg to attend the eighteenth annual convention of retail merchants of the state, this city extends a most cordial welcome. The business men, as well as the entire city, feel highly honored by your pres ence and it is the hope of all that your visit will not only be profit able from the angle of matters to bo discussed from a business standpoint during convention hours, but that when you take your departure you will feel that a full degree of hospitality has been accorded you and that pleasant memories will linger with you long after this annual event. The citizens of the Unipqua valley pride themselves on the easy manner in which they "warm up" to the stranger in our midst, and it is the general sentiment of the home people that nothing be left undone at this time to make the three days' con vention a mighty big success from every standpoint. With this idea in view and the co-operation of every visiting merchant, the three days' convention will undoubtedly prove one u f the most entertaining and profitable ever held in the state. The latch string is out. Make yourselves at home, boys. The people of Roseburg welcome you with that brotherly spirit that will leave no doubt in your mind of their efforts to make your visit to Roseburg one of extreme pleasure. A man who represents 150 retail concerns in the New York market reports that more business has been placed by his co.n cerns in a fortnight, than in any two weeks in the history of his organization. The number of store representatives visiting New York to make purchases has also been the heaviest on record. The Retail Millinery Association of America states, that 500 requests for tickets to their show in New York had to be refused owing to lack of room. This indicates an unusual number of buyers pres ent. Many retail stores are finding their stocks so low that they are buying freely.. In a time of quiet business people become ex cessively cautious. Then all at once they find they are losing trade localise their stinks are low. Then a lot of them jump at once to buy, and a wave of prosperity spreads over the country. t looks as if the business community were getting close to this point now. A school is to be upened at Ithaca, New York, to tench print ing, as announced by the New York state publishers association. It will not be operated for prod', but to promote knowledge of the art. This is the fourth school of the kind to be started in tlna country. It seems strange that more has not been done in the way of vocational instruction in printing. It is a trade which call:: for fine craftsmanship, general intelligence and ability to present thought in a forceful form. It opens opportunities for entrant- to a great industry, and is the door through which many hate gone into success in the journalistic field. Everybody has a desire at times to "kick oxer the traces," but the example of the hor.-e that doc so is not reassuring, for fvery time he kicks over them lie has to kick lxwk again. o Now if the weather man will Rie us three l.iys of regular l'inptiia Valley weather, we'll forget the past winter. o It's a good thing most of u take ourselves seriously, for hard ly anybody else does. lVfore you can "paddle tour own canoe," you must hate a canoe to paddle. tiun.
