O SCHOOL GROUND BETTERMENT What Can Be Done to Mako Common Property Attractive. While we are Imbued with the gar dening fever let us look to the district school yard and note if it has nil wo could wish for In tho way of plaut life; If not, what can you do to mako It more interesting, instructive or at tractive? Of courso them ore school yards whero there Is uot sufficient space for flowers, othors where the school board has covered the gurdeu space with temporary buildings nnd still others where they have built so ugly and unsightly or Insiilliclently ns to disgust tho neighborhood residents, who will do nothing until the wrong Is righted. As a rule, however, school yards In geucrnl aro capablo of pleasing ef fects by tho Judicious planting of tree, shrub and vino. Whore buch is tho case it is well to b-ar in mind that it is the otio piece of neighborhood property In which nil are Interested, nil have a common ownership nnd th.it upon all Its condition retloets credit or criticism. What Is the condition of your school yard? Can you individual ly or with your neighbors colleetlroly do nnythlng to improvo it? If so, act that it may bo a credit and a comfort to you and yours.

Tho gun play and fracas at the Marshfleld ball grounds last Sunday was made the subject of discussion at the city council last evening, J. W. Bennett appearing and using it as an Illustration of the necessity of having officers wear uniforms or something to plainly show that they aro policemen. The concensus of opinion was that the ofllcers should wear uniforms but a proposal to raiso the salaries was laid over until the next meeting and meanwhile the city attorney is to draw up an ordin ance prescribing the uniform to be worn. Mayor E. E. Straw said that the two night watchmen aro not being paid enough and that Nlghtwatchman Walter Condron had informed him that he (Condron) would quit unless ho received more than $75 per month, tho present salary. Mr. Con dron, Mayor Straw said, declared that it was essential for the safety of tho public as well as the safety of tho officers that they be garbed so as to be easily distinguishable In a crowd. As to the gun play at tho baseball grounds, Mayor Straw said that ho and Mr. Condron believe If Condron hadn't drawn a gun there would have been a riot and fifteen or twenty fights. J. W. Bennett's View. J. W. Bennett said that the scene at tho ball grounds hnd impressed him with the necessity of the ofllcers being garbed so that the public could easily recognize them. He said that all of the progressive towns and cities of the country had their ofllcers uniformed and he thought Marshfleld should do likewise. He said that ho personally would favor tho city defraying tho expense of the uniforms as tho officers were not be ing paid sufllclent to warrant their buying their own uniforms. Councilman Lockhart moved thnt the salaries of the two night watch men be Increased from $75 to $90 per month and that they he required to buy their own uniforms. lie said that tho city was being excellently patrolled and that as long as tho city had a good force, it should retain them. Mayor Straw concurred with this view but Councilinon Nelson and Savage thought that It would be best to delay action on the matter until a full board was prcsont, Councllmen Sacchl and Flanagan being absent last night. Marshal J. W. Carter now receives $100 per month but Councilman Lockhart was opposed to granting him a proportionate Increaso with that proposed for the two night watchman. At present, the officers' receive In addition to their salary $1 for each arrest they make where tho prisoner is convicted. This fee system has not been very lucrative recently, It was stated.
