FIRST WARD PEOPLE UNIT OHMRK PUN1

Hect and Talk Over the Develop-! ment of the Fairbanks Park— Urge Monument Site.

The meeting of the First Ward Improvement Club at the Crawford school last nigrht proved one of the largest and most enthusiastic of any held by the club, the assembly room being crowded with men and wofnen. Prof. Francis M. Stalker pi^'sided.

The program was opened by a solo by John Walsh, a rising young baritone. whom his friends regard as a coming John AlcCorniack. He first gave "A Memory," by Edna Park, and for encores sang "Good-bye." by Tosti. and an "Irish L.ove Song," by Margaret Langr.^ Miss B. Pearl E31is was the accompanist. Mr. Walsh's remarkable voice was never heard to better advantage. •John Li. Crawford, president of the T« rre Haute National bank, was the speaker of the evening. He said he was glad to be at a first ward meeting because It was the ward in which hr now lived and in which he had lived *o long. He praised the organization of the cftib and said it was the only way to get anything. Individual effort seldom accomplished very, much, but when the First ward cit^-ens werr thoroughly organized into a compact organization and went to the City Hall it wis in a position to enforce its ju.st demands upon a mayor, a council, a board of public works or a park board. Mr. Crawford said the park toard's funds were short at present and the board was no doubt doing all it conkl for Fairbanks Park. He knew that Superintendent Graham was doing ail in his power and would continue to 4r so.

Mr. Crawford said this was the first time the First ward citizens had any chance to become enthusiastic. They had long been neglected for other parts of the city. Crawford Fairbanks and Edward P. Fairbanks had supplied the opportanlty by their splendid and generoufl gilt of a pferk site and it was up to the people of

the First ward to

see that the city finished the park as soon possible. While the winning of the war certainly was the paramount issue, yet the citizens must not a.t th» same time overlook the future interests of IVrre (Haute. He praised the public spirit of the Messrs. Fairbanks and said their gift had put new life and hope and enthusiasm into the hearts of the people of this ward, which had been the home of many of the oldest settlers of the city.

Mr. Crawford said when the Fairbanks Park was completed it would not be necessary to take the school children of the sooth side several miles away to Collett Park for au outing. They woo Id have a line park of their own right at their doors. Many ol" them were poor children who could illy afford even the price of a street car ticket. He said the natural advantages of a riverside park would eventually make the Fairbanks Park certainly the finest in Terre Haute and the erpial of any in the state. It was only necessary to take a ride down the river to appreciate the possibilities and beauties of our river front. Some persons who did not know might scoff at this, but those ^ho knew wore tho'se who were enthusiastic and who could see Into the future.

Mr. Crawford said the 7\ilibanfcs Memorial Park was the proper place for the Fairbanks Soldiers* monument. No doubt, when the war was over, we would have many crippled soldiers and where was there a more suitable place for the Fairbanks Koldiers' monument than a splend'i riverside park, with its drives and 'Iks and trees and its -suinficMit i of the Wabash river? No site that had been suggested, in his opinion, was more suitable in the whole City of Terre Haute. The Fairbanks Park naturally meant the making of a boulevard of Ktrst street. It meant paved side streets to the park. It meant heantifnl entrances. It meant & general improvement, a general awakening, a pride, a brashing up of homes and yards in the southwest part of the city. The surroundings of a park always gradually conform to

the pkrk itself. There are no exceptions to this rule. Mr. Crawford said he*felt satisfied that a fund could be easily raised among the public-spirited citizens of the First and Second wards to hasten the park project

It was decided by unanimous vote that If poewttMe the name of every rosldont of the First ward be attached to the resolutions to be presented to the Messrs. Fairbanks by the committer. of which Andrew M. Powers is chairman and Mrn. Martin Eckhoff-was appotnt©d chairman of a committee of five women to procure the signatures.

|N and after Saturday, September 14th, owing to the immense increase in the cost of woolens and matejrtal, we will be forced to raise our price to $17 in order fo maintain the same hi^li quality of workmanship and material always embodied in Sherman's clothes.

Our government has commandeered almost all of the wool in the country to be made into uniforms and blankets. Practically all the woolen mills, have curtailed the making of civilian clothes to a quarter of their former production, putting their looms to the making of uniforms and other clothing for our army.

that its advantages

could be utilraed as soon as possible. What Collett Park was to the north s de Fairbanks Park would be to the south Side. But an essential difference was tha.t Fairbanks Park had one great asset that none of the other city parks had—a riverside front, and it was not one level piece of ground. The north end citizens by uniting had secured the Garfield High" school. The south end citizens by uniting can boost the Fairbanks Park project along until they will have the greatest park in the state. Rut nothing could be done without united, hearty and enthusiastic action. Mr. Crawford's remarks were greeted with much enthusiasm.

Other talks were made by John S. Edmunds, who was introduced as "the son of a former mayor of Terre Haute" Louis Tuemler, J. J. Urev, William Alder, George A. Gorath. Andrew M. Powers, Theodore Linder, Kugene Callahan, Miss Helen Tyler, Miss Anna Tulley, Miss Lizzie O'Brien, Mrs. Martin Eckhoff, MYs. John F. Joyce, Miss Florence Bninken and Mrs. Amelia Neely. All the speeches were full of enthusiasm.

GIRL AERIALIST FURNISHES HILL

Ebie Ward Is The Intrepid Double Somersaultist With HagenbeckWallace Show.

The somersault, Vhether ii be single or double, is a feat which requires the most assiduous practice and the most mathematical calculation. The first thing the tumbler learns is to jump from a spring board. The sensation of springing through the air is an uncanny one. Next is the ''stock'' somersault, which consists of merely springing up into the air, and slowly and with practically no physical exertion, turning over. The motion is so slow that the spectator hardly realizes th&t the perfiormer has revo?ved. Then begins the drill for the real somersault.

The double somersault has elain scores, for in turning in mid-air one is apt to alight on his head or neck, which would mean instant death. There are several men who accomplish this feat. In Rio de, Janeiro, at the Winter Garden theatre, the owners of the Hagcnbeck -Wallace circufl, which comes to Terre Haute Tuesday, Sept. 17, for performances at 2 and 8 p. m., and a parade at 10 o'clock, heard of a woman ivho was able to accomplish thto feat. Thery deputized an agent to investigate, and he reported that a member of the great Ward family of aerta-list? was able to accomplish the dooble somersault. The act was engaged by cable and their transportation arranged for. The act is one of the big features of the Ha^enbeckWallace circus. Miss Elsie Ward, the little aerialist who accomplishes the feai, sp^nt eight yea re in perfecting it. At times it. appeared as if she would have to abandon the idea. However, she finally accomplished the hazardous feat.

There are some people who say they have seen a triple somersautt. They are mtstaJe*i. \o man ha^ ever accomplished this feat and lived to tell about tt. There are several mxlf a_er?alists with the Hagenber-k-Wallaoe circus who can turn two and ono-half time* over in mid-air, but one with the show or any otb^r show has yet performed the triple somersault. Tt appears impossible.

Because of this condition there is a scarcity of woolen cloth as prices are based by the supply and the demand for woolens, the price of cloth has advanced from 150 per cent to 200 per cent. -All other articles that go into the making of clothes have advanced in price proportionately.

We would not consider lowering that quality of excellency of value that we have always sold to our patrons. There is no alternative but to raise our price, according to conditions, so as to give our patrons the same service and satisfaction they have always obtained from Sherman's Clothes. ». .4.t
