Art in Municipal Park Art in two splendid forms is one display without cost to those who visit the Municipal Building grounds —the art of the painter of pictures today Monday and Tuesday in the Ogden Palette Club’s annual outdoor picture exhibition and the art of the gardener and flower arranger for the remainder of the growing season The flower plots are remarkable for their beauty this season as they always are but the gardeners appear to have surpassed previous efforts thanks to their upbuilding of the plants both in variety and in numbers The neatness and beauty and location of the park provide excellent auspices for the outdoor picture exhibition which from its first year has demonstrated that if people are exposed to art they take to it in gratifying numbers used by the company in which I plan to invest I recommend this policy to others and I caution against speculating in the commodity futures markets You can make money fast in commodity futures but you can lose it twice as fast!
