There aro moro men listed nt tlio Lincoln County Farm Bureau for work than can bo supplied with a Job.

' Thro have been some good rains in Lincoln county within tho past few weeku. but they have been local and WVrellofc from tho-drputh to ,somo sections while others have had no rain to speak of. This is shown in. tho wheat crop which has Just been har-j vested. Tho yields varied In the same precinct from nothing to eighteen bushels an ucro and tho main reason is lack of moisture. With corn it is flomowhnt different. Good cultivation will carry a field of cornia long ways further than whero tho cultivation has been poor. Somo fields are in good shape now while others are gone and they have had tho same rain fall.

The Municipal Bathing Beach is a reality. Hundreds of people aro tak ing a plungo there ovcry day. It may bo some time before people get over calling it tho North Side Swimming Hole tut tho fact that it is an attempt by tho city to provide safe amusomont for tho peoplo should lead everyone to appreciate this effort and glvo tho Park Board credit for tho result.

Thoy had jomo funds In tho park treasury and they had been saving those funds to do somo needed work on Memorial and City parks. Tho de mand for thi. bathing beach became stronger and stronger. Different plans were offered. At last after many mis givings and doubts, but upon assur ances from the city engineer and others of its success, thoy contracted for tho work on the bathing beach citizens called it ft mud noie. utnors said it was poorly located. Others complained of this and that and pre dicted failure in the end. Tho water would "'I seep away. Tho irrigation ditch would not carry the wator and so on nnd so on. The men gave their consent to the project but none ot them remained on tho Board to see "It completed. Now that It has proven a success, somo of tho peoplo who wero unfavorable at first aro enthu siastic in its praise. There aro diffi culties to be overcome but thoy aro those whose solution Is in sight.
