LAKE JACKSON
IS ALLUR|NG

Lake Jackson, IL miles long, is
fed by springs in the foothills of
the Blue Ridge Mountains and
has more than 400 acres of water
surface for boating, fishing, swim
ming and Aquatic sports. It is
one of those rare spots provided
by nature, but developed by engi-
neering skill until it's equal in
beauty and accessibility is not sur
passed anywhere within 100 miles
of the National Capital.
Historically, Lake Jackson is in.
timately associated with the battles
of Bull Run and Manassas. It's
BANDS Ford and Sinclair's Mill
still reveal the original trenches
occupied during the Civil War by
both the Northern and Southern
Armies. It's shores are heavily
wooded and here are found the
delightful climate and cool nights
of the Northern Virginia noun
tains.
No two building sites are alike.
Each has it's own attraction of
elevation, outlook and contour,
with beautiful knolls and stately
oaks, as we'll as plateauS with
proud poplars.
Although only about two years
old, more than so Washingtonians
have chosen this spot for their
summer homes, nearly all built
with real logs, and rugged stone
fireplaces. Most of the homes
are equipped with electricity and
running water.
A unique feature is that the
property is owned by a close cor
poration. The lake, being pri-
vately owned, each purchaser &C.
quireS with his deed the right
to it's use for boating, fishing and
swimming, in perpetuity. No IL
cense is required by a property
owner to operate a motor boat
on this lake.

COTTAGES OPEN
At NORTH BEACH

vacationists are finding the
summer colony at North Beach,
Md, a mile up the shore from
Chesapeake Beach, an ideal place
for rest and recreation. The col
ony is only 40 miles from Wash
ington, and easily reached either
by frequent trains from the Dis
trict line to Chesapeake Beach or
motor buses over hard surfaced
automobile roads.
North Beach is popular with
Government employees both for
weekend outings and summer
vacations. The small train or bus
fare is negligible. Accommoda-
tions at the resort are reasonable
and cary to obtain. There are
hotels for those who desire service
and for those who care for more
seclusion, countless cottages are
available and may be obtained for
any period-a week, two weeks, a
month, or the entire season. Most
Of them a~s equipped with
screened sleeping porches, electric
light and running water
* North Beach has an excellent
bathing area, with a sandy bot
tom and gradual slope that
makes it entirely safe for young
and inexperienced children. The
resort has every convenience
police and fire protection, electric
ity, ice deliveries, stores, amuse-
mentS and churches of various
denominations. A new cement and
steel sea wall has been completed.

CLEAR v A 7 TER
BEACH NOW
OPEN

Announcement of the opening Of
Clearwater Beach is made this
week for the first time. This new
salt water bathing beach is To-
Gated on the South River within
a 50-minute drive Of the District.
Many attractive features are Of
fered at Clearwater Beach. The
beach is sandy and offers both
shallow water for bathers as well
as deeper water for real swim
merS, diving boards and large
diving float anchored in the deeper
water.
The bathhouse is up to date,
having 700 individual lockers,
showers and a promenade deck
both at the waters edge and on
the roof.
The main building is Of ma
sonry construction, done in the
Spanish motif. It includes a large,
well lighted and ventilated dance
floor, as well as lounging rooms.
The grounds are open and well
kept. At night a string of lights
illumine the grounds and bathing
beach.
The name Of Clearwater Beach
was chosen on account of the un-
usually clear salt water on the
South River at this point, which
is in view of the new concrete
bridge over the river.
Clearwater Beach is strictly 8
pleasure resort where one may
swim, dance and eat. It is not a
part of or connected with any
summer colony or subdivision, al
though hundreds of Washington
residents have their summer
homes in the immediate vicinity.

ALL PLEASURES
Of SEASIDE At
CHESAPEAKE

"AH Of the pleasures Of the
seaside only an hours ride from
the Capital"
That is the slogan Of Chesa'
peake Beach, Washington's near
est saltwater resort. Whether
one seeks a days excursion, a
weekend outing, or a summer va
cation, the beach is an ideal selec-
ton. Fishing, boating, grabbing,
picnicking, dancing and countless
amusements afford variety OF
recreation for all tastes.
Fishing Is Fine
Grabbing is vieing with fishing
for popularity this season. Grabs
already are being caught in large
numbers and experts predict the
biggest season in years. There
are facilities for having crabs
steamed before returning to the
city.
Fishing draws many to the re-
sort. This is the season for hard
heads, or sea croakers, and the
fishing is fine. Bait and fishing
tackle are obtainable at all times
Boating is a lure for many. Sail
boats, motorboatS, rowboats'
canoes-all may be hired very
cheap.
One of the glories Of the beach
is its bathing. The beach is
sandy and has a gradual slope,
with no step-offs, making bath
ing absolutely safe.
Net Protects Bathers
The entire bathing area is sur
rounded with a fine net that
keeps out any foreign floating OBJ
tects.
Ample shower bath and dressing
room facilities are furnished.
The sandy beach is dotted with
gaily colored umbrellas, where
bathers may loll lazily in the
shade. Back on the hillside, over
looking the broad bay, are the
cool, shady picnic groves, where
one may spread his luncheon on
the grassy slopes.

Reserve Delegate Says
Chicago Conference Was
Real United Front Meet

here that all the delegates were
the guests in the homes of the
Chicago workers in our four dav
conference, which proves they are
willing to back up their words
with deeds.
We were also invited to meet
with them at one of their large
coliseums, there were around 5000
workers present who cheered time
again and again as the farm dele
gates from the different states
marched in, each with their state
banner and slogans. At this meet
ing both farmers and city workers
spoke, welding a better under
standing between the two. Before
this meeting was over both sides
understood better than ever the
necessity of a united front and
that neither could ever succeed
without the help of the other. that
only by a united effort would we
ever be able to get our Just share
OF the wealth we create.
Political Parties
The Republican, Democratic the
Farm-Labor, Socialist and Com.
munist parties were invited to
send a speaker to present their
programs. Only the last two par
ties sent one. The Republican
party sent a letter telling that
when they were in power they had
fulfilled every promise they ever
made to the farmers and pointed
out how much they had helped"
US. The delegates took this as an
insult to their intelligence as we
were suffering badly from this
socalled help. The Democratic par
ty also sent a letter telling about
what they were doing for US. If
the future is to be judged from
the past then we could see very
little help coming from that source
All we had gotten so far was
promises, we took a decided stand
against their policy that we car
borrow ourselves out of debt OF
that we will have prosperity by
destroying cotton and foodstuffs
If a surplus means poverty then
having nothing must surely NEAR
prosperity. What nonsense! Ever
if the so-called best brains of the
land do tell US this to be a fact
Until we get a government thai
is willing to admit that a surplu.
should mean wealth for all, thel
the farmers will never have last
ing prosperity.
/ The Farmer-Labor party never
answered the invitation.
The Socialist party sent a goot
speaker who received some ap
plause.
The Communist Party also
] sent q good speaker who re-
