for $25 an acre.

Kendrick has one of the best
swimming holes in the country near
the Atchison warehouse. All it
needs to make it perfect is bath
house so the bathers can change
clothes. You can go to the swim
min hole decorously with your
bathing suit on under your regular
clohters, but to get from a wei
bathing suit back into your citizens
clothes is another matter. If all
the kids who go swimming woulc
furnish one board each there woulc
be enough lumber to put a high
board fence around the whole
place.
