Our committee will undoubtcdlj favor auuh plan, under proper suporvla'on." eald Chairman E. J. StfoJli of the build ing and grounds committer of this School board. The scheme will furnish a fine playground for All children of the neigh borhood and will keep boys and girls off the streets and away from bad Influ ences. At Small Expense. 'i believe that the general adoption of ueh a plavground polloy throughout the ilty would be n good thins 'or Omaha, providing ample playground facilities 'without great rxpenre and assuring children a sale place to play near their homes, Instead of having to pay oar ar to a central playground, or else be unable to on.loy its privileges." S. r. Jennings, 33) Taylor street, 1 chairman of the club's committee which has taken up the matter with the board. 3 B. Metcan, 31F5 .Meredith avenue, an other member of tho club, expects to In terest the National I'laj'grounds associa tion In the local project and secure part "tof the nectary funds from It for the Installation of apparatus and equipment.

State Engineer Price Seeking Delegation to National Meeting Donald D. rrlco of Uncuiii, tal6 en gineer and member of the national exe cutive committee for Nebraska, has been appointed a special committee of one to secure a strong delegation from this eta to to tho fourth annual meeting of tho National Drainage congress, which will lie held at Savannah, On., April J2-23, in clusive. Mr. Trice has been Interested In the laWse C6nxres since a diort time after Its organization In Chicago In De cember, imi, at the tlmo of the meeting of tha Nnettcnth National Irrigation Congret, when It was decided that tho two problems of Irrigation and drainage tiero too widespread to bo 'adequately taken caro of. by a. single organisation. The stair of Nerbaska Is vitally con corned with the success of tha National (Drainage congress, larso ureas of tha wt5e or subject to periodic and disas trous floods Jn the valleys of the Ailsi iur), Platte. Hepubllcnn, Niobrara and others rivers, and the proper control of these rlvora would not only provont this loss, but would develop water power and provide larger irrigation districts. There re In thf state Cll.OOO acres at swamp urtd overflowed lands which can bo re claimed and turned Into valuable farms that would produce nt least !0,O,000 -worth of crops a year. In addition, tho general health of the state would be im proved, by these works, and Nebraska ."would also profit by the improvement In the general health and business of the entire ceuntry.

'They restored my J ppetlte when Unpaired, relieved me or R bloated feellne and puu.aui ' Med satisfactory movement pf the bow I." Air dealers;-Advertlsemsnt Is a protective tariff possible between states of the Vnitcd States? The con stitution ot the United States says no. That samo constitution said nothing against Interstate protective tariffs that might go by tho namo oi "licenses." Tho result is that when Omaha dealers and many farmers from tho apple grow ing section of the state tried to ship ap ples to North Dakota, where the price was better than at home, they were con fronted by a wall no, .not a tariff wall a "license" wall. When they crossed the North Dakota Jlne with a carload of ap ples they were" compelled by tho govern ment of North Dakota to pay a license of SS per car to ucll apples In that state. They protested that Interstate tariff charges are prohibited by the federal con stitution. They were told that this was not a tariff, but a license charge. They scratched their heads long and hard to dctcrmlno whether there Is really any dif ference so far as the net result Is con cerned, whether the tariff Is celled a tariff or a license. Inquiry brought out the facts that the retail grocers and othor dealers In North Dakota had railroaded this license bill through tho North Da kota legislature, sc that they might have no outside competition In the sale of ap ples to the people of that state, Tho situation then is that an Inhabitant ot North Dakota, a state that can scarcely raise a single apple even under the most careful cultivation, cannot get apples from stala where they arc raised unless ho get them through his local apple dealer. Nebraskans Immediately talked of going Into the courts to delermlno the consti tutionality of tho oct. They learned that ome one had preceded them and that the case is pending in the courts. In the meantime some of thorn pafd the license charges and got over the line. Others, moro shrewd, stopped their ear of apples Just this sldo of the North Dakota line and had the customers come over to buy. DR. WISE MARVELS AT OMAHA'S MARKED PROGRESS "To say that I am delighted with tha marked progress of Omaha since my last visit here some years ago Is a mild way of expressing It," remarked Dr. Wlso of New York City while renewing acquaint ances at the Nebraska Clothing atoro yesterday. "I am particularly pleased with the many Improvements. Tour new buildings are a credit to the city." Speaking of the notable Improvements ttat have been mado In tho Nebraska Clothing company store. Dr. Wise said: "This store compares very favorably with many of our largest eastern stores. Years ago I remember tho Nebraska was a household word, and now the younger generation Is at the helm carrying for ward the commendable policies that made the old store Justly famous."
