LOCAL SWIMMING
POOL ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION

The Grand Forks public swimming
pool, located in Riverside Park, has
attracted unusual attention from a
number of cities in North Dakota and
Minnesota. Fargo, Minot, Crookston
and other places have had delegations
here t inspect the pool with a view
OF building in their respective
cities. W. G. Hutchins of Minot re-
Gently inspected the pool and has
written to Grand Forks to secure data
anent the campaign that led to the
construction of the pool.
The pool has been unusually popu-
lar throughout the summer, there be-
ing as high az 500 using it daily. The
pool was designed by Harold E. Wins
low local architect, who made a
special study Of pools before drawing
up the local specifications and plans.
Mr.. Winslow supervised the construc-
ton work and the success and p
larity of the pool is largely due to his
efforts.

ELM TREES FOR
CITY BEAUTIFUL
Grand Forks Park Board
Makes Plans for Trans
planting During Year.

~- ##r'..#.
In an effort to make Grand Forks
Elm city, the Grand Forks park
board has made plans to plant at least
1000 elm trees on the berms Of the
city during. the coming year. During
the past summer $50 elms were placed,
on berms and substituted for the
hated cottonwoods.
In the city parks there are now
over 5000 elm trees which in time
will be transplanted throughout the
residential district. The cottonwoods
are doomed to go, claim the park
board members, and the sooner these
trees are eliminated the sooner will
the appearance of Grand Forks i'm
prove.
The success Of the plan Of the park
oar Is assured, as evidenced by the
fact h a nearly all Of the trees planted
during the summer are now growing.

SAVING THE DOLLARS

Postal savings deposits increased

Sans bank is now custodian OF more

1t means that tens OF millions of dol

migrant population TO banks in their
native countries is now kept here.
swelling our resources and credit. II
means that scores of millions of dol.
lars have been saved by citizens who
used TO save nothing. People who dis.
trust ordinary banks trust the govern.
ment bank. People who were timid
about venturing into a big, oppressive
ly dignified and powerful bank with
their modest savings are not timid
about handing those savings in at the
postoffice window. People who could
not open a savings account because
the banks in their vicinity would not
let them start with a dollar or two
| too, find that Uncle Sam is never con,
temptuous of petty deposits. And so
the volume swells at any ever increas.
ing rate. The population becomes
more thrifty. And the poor become
collectively a financial power.
Those hundred-odd millions don't
represent at all the full significance
of this popular savings movement 1t
has been found that the postal bank.
are in reality feeders of the private
banks. Postal savings when they
reach large figure are transferred
to institutions that pay higher rate
OF interest. And the habit of thrift
fostered by the postal bank results in
strengthening the entire financial
system, as well as placing the person
al finances OF hundreds of thousands
of citizens on a sOunder basis.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS:

We all want more ourselves. but We
can't understand why other people are
not satisfied with what they have.
Many a man who couldn't be ar.
rested for bigamy has discovered that
. he has one wife too many.
The trouble with this country is
that every man you meet wants to talk
about himself when you want to talk
about yourself
Some day we will open up our
heart and tell the world how much
the people love you. But it will be
after you are dead.
Speaking good word is like kissing
a pretty girl. You want to do it again.
Any old day that you accomplish
just one-tenth Of the things that you
intend to do is a pretty good day.
II you ever invent an automobile
that will run on Hot Air, there are
whole lot of speed bugs in this
country who will never have to pur.
chase any fuel.
