To the contrary, its program for future work embraces some notable Improvements for the town. For a number of years, there has been a realization of the great need of a public park, and lead ers of the club have come to a deter mination to secure one before property becomes so high that it will be diffi cult to buy the land for one. Conse quently, there is a disposition to pur chase the block east of the post office owned by the public school and park it for that purpose in the immediate future. Plans are also already outlined for beautifying the park in a thor oughly modern way. Phases of the contemplated beautifying involve the planting of shade trees, the planting of various flowers, the installment of fountains, and the construction of cement walks diagonally across the park. Early action along these lines is contemplated. Stock and hay shipments continue to be made from this place with about the same regularity and of the same proportion . Seldom a day passes with out a carload of hay going out or a carload or more of cattle cr hogs. A carlad of hay went out Saturday and last, week a number of cars of hogs were shipped.

Efforts are still under way for se curing the proposed cheese factory and those directing the efforts are hopeful of securing the Industry. There appears to be a general realization of the bene fits the town would derive from Its op eration. The dairying industry Is al ready one of proportions here and can be so developed that It will bring no small amount of money Into local cir culation, which of course would give a strong impetus to local trade. It would mean ready money for the farmers of the adjacent country and would tend to Htimulate business generally.

Stark, has offered free use of one of Its buildings for one year to the promoters of the Industry, an action which is being highly com mended.
