A call is soon to be issued for a 
special election at Bellingham, Wash., 
to vote on the question of the forma- 
tion of a metropolitan park district 
under the terms of the bill passed by 
the recent legislature. The plan is 
fathered by the Young Men’s Com- 
mercial Club and the object is the pur- 
chase of the 350 acres of land lying 
along Whatcom Creek between Lake 
Whatcom and the cemetery for park 
purposes.

T. E. Brittingham, chairman of the 
State Park Board of Wisconsin, has 
completed a "trip around the state de- 
voted to the arousing of sentiment in 
favor of the state park proposition. 
The commission will recommend that 
the state establish parks in four places. 
One site is in Door county and an- 
other site to be recommended is at 
Devil’s Lake, where there are about 
5,500 acres available. Still another 
ideal place is at Blue Mounds, near 
Mount Horeb, in Dane county. A 
fourth site that would be worthy of con- 
sideration, the commission believes, is 
known as Plattemounds, near Platte- 
ville, in Grant county. The commission 
will report to the legislature, which will 
then take action on the purchase of sites.

The Capitol Lawn Trimmer 
and Edger for 1907 
“The Greatest Labor Saving Tool We Have” 
for trimming the grass around monuments, walls, trees, 
shrubs and flower beds — so said one of the foremost mem- 
bers of The National Cemetery Association at the annual 
convention at Detroit. 
You will say the same when you try it and wonder how you 
ever got along without it. 
The results are more perfect than can be gotten from shears, 
clippers, or any other tools for trimming or edging a lawn, 
and the time, labor, and money saved is a large item.
