A Community Obligation X ,1922 the late Mr. M;.il: O.ad yave to the Franklin public school in fee simple a field of three or four acres adjoining the school property with the distinct understanding that it was io be developed into an athletic field. "ov, nearly 10 year; later, Franklin school boys still. are without any place suit able for football or other athletic inc The properly ' Mrs. C'oad ac to the schools, ly iii as it does, adjacent ot the school grounds on- the south, is ideally iu.iau-.l for football Held and base hall diamond. All that i needed to make it useful is grading and drainage. - The people of Franklin have failed woefullv in ful filling the agreement made with Mrs. Coad. They have tailed even more regrclauly m living up to an obligation to their children. - The land Mrs. Cozad so public-spiritedly gave to the town' has been allowed to grow up in weeds, an ecsorc to all who pass, it should be a beautiful grass covered field dedicated to the building ol a stronger youth, imbued with sportsmanlike ideals a snoi to which one could point with civic pride. " It will not involve a large outlay of money now, with labor so plentiful and. cheap, to put-the Cozad property in condition for use. Of course, it could hardly be .shaped up before this football season ends ; but work should be started without delay so the field could be used for baseball next spring and be in first class condition by the time the 1932 gridiron season opens. . There is another consideration; Franklin does not have a single designated playground. True, there are woods and fields a-plenty with rivers and creeks and even a lake. But, nevertheless, these do' not fill the need of a definitely appointed and equipped play ground, where organized games can be played with proper direction and supervision. The high school football team has to go to the river bottoms to prac tice and play on a dusty, sun baked, irregular filet. When they have a game there is no way of properly accomodating the crowds. or of collecting their just dues, for without a fence it is difficult to get gate receipts.. Furthermore, playing football on such a field is very much the same as playing billiards on an unlevel table with a crooked cue and an eliptical bill iard ball. Development of Cozad field. now can be done at a minimum cost. The work -will help to relieve local unemployment. The .town council, as everyone knows or should know, already is hard pressed; little or no assistance' can be ex pec led '.there or from the school board.. The problem is one for Franklin busi" ness men and parents. .-'.- Benches are supplied for ' loafers on Main Street, but there are no swings for growing youngsters, not even a greensward where, the older boys can get to gether for their games. - With the turn of the yeatlvr we. have been per -i'-xed hy the moot question of which is worse, sun airn or chillblains.

There is alvj the very obvious fact that while the authors knuw something of the Bible, their ig norance of its real make-up, its spirit, and its great message is pathetic. Curiously enough they are quite modern in tehir science, but have the .fundamentalist's vieu in regard to thu interpretation of the Bible. Certainly they do not betray any understanding of mod ern scholastic interpretation. All their criticism seems to rest upon the fundamentalist's interpretation of the Bible, as if 'no' other exist ed. ''-,'.'' But there is another most im pressive thing about, the articles the writers arc more Christian in some of their views on social and economic questions ihan 1 the Church as a whole seems to be.

Whin the uniformity of type and fast late of growth of trees iu the southern "piney woods" also is con sidered, they are unrivalled in their total productive capacity by any other forest- type in the country. U. S. Forest Service investigators estimate the second-growth pine woods of the South, under ade quate protection and systematic forestry management, can be-made to produce at least one-fourth of the total limber requirements of the country and practically all the naval stores needed for domestic consumption.

COBB The Old-Timer's Prophecy By IRVIN S. COBB fJPON the death of his father a young man succeeded to the presi - dency of a certain- struggling railroad in the Northwest. ' The son, on his first official trip of inspection, was distressed to find that the equipment was not in good shape. As a matter of fact the father hat milked the line for dividends, working the rolling stock and the employees without mercy. He had not been popular with the hands in his lifetime and his memory still abided with them as a sort of bad smell. The special bearing the heir stopped at . a junction point and the young man left' his private car to look about him. Along came a gria riea, person in overalls examining the greasecups and tapping at the wheels with his little hammer. . "What do you think of this outfit here?" the new chief asked "Plenty good enough for the rails it rides oa," was te ambiguous reply. - - "Well, what about the rails?" N "Rotten." "listen here," said the young executive, do you know how I am?" "Nope." "I'm the president of this road now." , "So that's who you are, eh? Well, I was here when your old man was president and I guess maybe I'll still be here when he gets to be president aeain." "Again? Say, where you do you get that staff?
