VISIT IS TO LURA LAKE
VERY NICE SPOT FOR THE
MAPLETON FOLKS
Place Is Particularly Inviting
For Bathers Because of
Gravel Beaches

lake is high and Is particularly in
viting to swimmers and would be
swimmers on account OF its gravel
beaches. Nearly every evening sew
eral cars filled drive out for a swim.
The only drawback to enjoying it
to the full is that there are no bath
houses. Many more women and girls
would enjoy it if there was a place
which the bathing suit could be put
on. Those who go usually wear them
from home. Clubs of all kinds are
in order these times. Why not or
ganize a swimming club and with a
small membership fee erect a bath
house or two COR the convenience of
lovers of this sport.
