Remember the Hole Where
You Splashed? Help
Your Boy to the Fun.
Want to go swimming?

want 10 go swimming.
Well, come on. We're all going
swimming presently if we stick to-
gether, and answer the ssomiliar two
finger" summons quickly.
You remember that sign, don't you?
When you were a barefoot boy, two
uplifted fingers meant a walk down
the dusty road. a shortcut through
old Farmer Simpkins' place and a
header off the old spring board into
the "crick." Hot weather was Il joy in
those days, not a willing. nerve rack
ing curse as it is now. Golly. an hours
swim in that old "hole" would make a
fellow feel fine!
Why not rc-establish the swimming
days? To take the terror out of sum-
mer you have only two things to do:
Pay into the city swimming pool
fund what you think daily swim
would he worth.
Have yourself measured for bath
ing suit.
On the level. that's about all there
Is tn 1t now. Yesterday the big drive
for 1917 swimming began with a lot of
pepper. A crowd Of citizens, led by II
doctors. turned $254.5O into the mu-
SuoL Nuc Nolul palSl
the $500 mark That means that the
home stretch has been entered. We're
halfway to diving. and if the rush can
be kept up for "a week there is no good
reason why the pool shouldn't be built
in time for use this year.
Lets Put Il Over.
Get aboard the wagon. Let's put
things over with a hip-hip- hurrah-
boys this week and all go swimming.
When you begin to wilt this afternoon.
take yourself by the ear and have it
out.
John" say to yourself, what
would you give to be able to splash
around in a big, cool plunge today, and
tomorrow and every day."
And when you've answered yourself.
make out a check and give Old Sol the
horse laugh.
Buy yourself swim!
