letter from Bangkok, capital of Sum.
to Postmaster My err, Mr. Horoi
brook says Sum at a country and
Bangkok as a city have been grossly

"Bangkok is a city of paved streets,
with electric streetcars, electric light

beautiful homes and three daily news
papers published in Knglish, writes
Mr. Hornibrook. "The climate is de

procession next Sunday afternoon in
the grounds of the monastery, but if
it rains in the afternoon the proces

Among the mixed metaphors the
most delightful -I think 1 have ever
heard was the statement of a town
councilor in a Hampshire town some

WHAT S TO BE DONE
WITH CENTRAL BLOCK
Suggested That Now Is
Time to Make a Park
of It.
the
It hat been tuggetted to the Dem
ocrat that now is the time for the
cily to do something with the Central
school block. The Democrat has
been informed that members of the
councd tay distinctly that it will not
be used for a city hall, that the city
hat already good lota for a city hall
down street. While labor is cheap
would be the proper time, it is argued,
to do whatever is going to be done
with the block. If it it to be made a
city park why not go at, it now, when
men are wanting work, get rid of the
old building and improve the block.
Il already hat some fine trees as a
starter. The matter is one at least
worth considering.
