Two hundred men, working as
hard as the proverbial beaver. are
busily engaged every day on the
immense bathing beach project at
Krug park. With fair weather, they
promise that Omahans will be able
to disport themselves in the water
here early in July.
The object of the park manage
ment is to create in Omaha an at
lantic City, in miniature, bathing
beach with an extent of water of
one acre, capable of accommodate
ing 1000 people at one time, or from
$4,000 to 10000 people each day. One
million gallons of water will be
needed to'flll the pool, and it will be
completely changed every eight
hours, being screened, filtered, ster-
ibzed, ozonated and aerated. When
the water enters the pool after going.
through these processes there are
less germs in it than in the ordinary

marked Deputy State Game Warden

Il have given special study to the

this dead fish situation happens
about the same time every year, just
after the fish spawn. There are all
species of fish among the dead ones,
but perch, bullheads and suckers pre-
dominate One practice which ac-
counts for some of the dead fish is
found from the fact that all those
who fish for the market have live
boxes Now some of the fish, espo-
cially bullheads, are hooked so Sc,
verely that they die after being put in

PRICES MAY RISE
DECLARES BOARD
Federal Reserve Bulletin Says
Also Greater Shortage May
Take Place.
INVESTING PUBLIC MUST AID
Shortage OF Many Essential Materials
and Commodities In World at
Large--Foreign Recovery May
Be Rapid.

Washington.--In warning that still
higher prices and greater shortage of
supply may be expected In the United
States If foreign purchases be per-
mitted to continue on the basis of the
last few years, the federal reserve
board In its July bulletin declares that
the war period in expectation has
come to an end and that 1t is the duty
of the Investing public to finance ship
ments needed by Europe.
Shortage In World.
There Is a shortage of many essen
tial materials and commodities In the
world at large" the board says, "in-
creased credit demand for goods for
export necessarily implies relatively
decreased supply of goods for domestic
use. Demand and supply are auto
matically equalized by changes In
price, but such changes are in the
circumstances here under considera-
tion necessarily upward. IL a large
export financing process is conducted
by banks out of credit the result is to
place the fluid credit of the country at
the disposal of foreigners In purchas-
ing and settling for domestic products
which they obtain from American pro-
ducers."
Such an addition to credits not based
on genuine savings, the board points
out, would mean imitation, implying an
increased tendency toward the bidding
| up of prices. In order to avoid the re-
currence of such a menace the board
should be found in the Investment mar
/ ket, that is in the savings of the people
| and not at the banks.
"The amount of export trade securi
ties to be held by banks must necessar
fly be limited to a minimum figure
the board asserts
Requirements of export financing
probably have been overestimated the
board says, and adds that some part
of the export demand would disappear
probably when actual commercial Sc
curity would be required for protec
tion of shipments.
Recovery May Be Rapid.
/ III Is quite prODaDle, the Doaru re
