GREENE VILLE
COMPLETING DUCK POND AT PARK
' . ' ' .' . , .'!
Supt. John DufTWiH Turn Water on This Week Heart Is
' land and Fountain to be Attractive Features Next Year
-High Cost of Grain Interferes With Increase of Live-
stock. ' , .. ' . :
I During the past few weeks men in
the employ of John Duff, superintend,
ent of Mohegan Park, have been con
structing a large and attractive duck
pond at the park and it is now near-
ing completion. Supt. Duff will turn
water into the new pond this week,
the -water fowl will have a new home
from now on. The new duck p&nd
occupies the site of the old one and' is
not only a muoh needed improvement
but adds greatly to the beauty of the
park. MaJting use of his skill as a
landscape artist, Mr. Duff has had laid
out and 'constructed in the new pond
large island which he has named
Heart Island, after its shape. On
this island which stands Well above
the level of the - water he intends to
have planted shrubs and possibly
flowers. -All around the new pond Mr.
Duff will have shrubs set out with an
open space here and there to afford an
unobstructed view of the pond and its
family.
The workmen are now. completing
the pip which will carry away. th
overflow. This pipe leads out one end
of the pond and down through the
deer inclosure.
The water for the pond will be sup
plied by a hydraulic ram. In addi
tion to Heart Island there will be by
next year a fountain in the pond which
will add much to the charm of this
narticular sDot in the nark. ' The plan
Mr. Duff has in mind is t8 have erect-
monkey- cage, Mr. Duff intends Ito
place seats. Space for these seats will
be provided through the removal of a.
section of the bank along' the road
way. i i
The high cost of grain ha in terf er
red greatly with the increase of the
livestock at the park this year -'Mr.
Duff did not attemt to hatch any birds
this summer for tnat very reason. He
is keeping the number of livestock
down until a time when there will be
more of a chance of providing the feed
necessary for their existence tnroughr
out the winter months. !
The labor question also plays;
large part in the expense of the up
keep of the park. When the park, waa
first opened Mr. Duff said he could
secure labor for $1.60 a day, but -that
now it is almost impossible to get a
marfor less than three dollars a day.
Betty, the first deer-born- in - the
park, now has a baby deer of her own.
It is the youngest member of the deer
family , and is about two months o"ld.
One of the deer already has donned
h is winter coat of gray and several : T
the others are preparing to forsake
their summer coats of brown. ' '
Jack, the peacock, has lost his beau
tiful tail, as this ' is moulting - time.
Jack has just recovered from a serious
illness which neafSy cost him his life,
but thanks to Mr. Duff's kindly care he
is strutting around Again as lively 'as
ever. Jack and the two pea-hens are

Christ Says Secretary Hill.
At the T. M. C. A. meeting on the
grounds or .Buckingham Memorial
Sunday afternoon General Secretary
j!.owin .hiii wa3 tne speaker and after
the singing of several hymns and
prayer, the speaker announced his text
from Romans : IS, "I an not ashamed
of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the
power of God unto, salvation."
The following points were empha
sized: That men were too often
ashanMd to own the Christ, especially
when it meant sacrifice to do so, th-Jlf
the soldiers in the camps, away from
all home restraints had a hard battle
to fight to maintain their ideals and
many a fellow hesitated o own the
Christ when those around him had no
interest in religious things. Secretary
Hill spoke of the power of God in
creation, in sending us the sunshine.
and the showers, which produce the
abundant crops, but the greatest pow
er of God is the power to save me
from their sins and He dan save to the
uttermost: give Christ a large place
in your lives, and be true to the high
est and best.
