OTTUMWA PARKS
PROVE POPULAR
NATURAL PLEASURE SPOTS At.
TRACT LARGE NUMBER DUR

Every summer Ottumwans learn to
use the parks more and more, and this
season the pleasure places have be.
come more popular than ever. From
morning until late at night the
benches are occupied by those seek

sioners Ottumwa's parks are places OF
unpretentious beauty in which trees
green grass and an abundance Of flow
ers are the chief elements.
Owing to its convenient location
the city park on Court street Is prob.
ably used more than any other. AT
any hour of the day one may pass
through this park and find persons OF
various and interesting types resting
in the seats around the edge or along
the walks Women stop on the way to
and from their shopping to enjoy for
a moment the cool shade and comfor.
table settees. Men are tempted to for.
get their business for brief period
and drop down in this natural beauty
spot, away from the noise and clatter
Of the downtown district. Little chill
dren spend happy hours playing about
the fountain and romping through the
park. The benches fill early in the
evening, and many remain until late
hour, loathe to leave the cool night
air.
Riverside park at the south end OF
the Market street bridge, is proving
most popular this summer, and especi
ally since the opening of the bathing
beach in the near vicinity. Situated
on the Des Moines river with clear
view of the bathers a short distance
above, it attracts many picnickers from
over the city, and always on pleasant
evenings several groups may be seer
enjoying supper on the grass. A pleas
ant walk, shaded by day and lighted
by night, extends from the park w
past the bathing beach, and benches
are placed at frequent intervals
where one may watch the bathers dis
port themselves in the water and en-
