Also, some people keep water taps wide open 24 hours a day, every day all summer, using the cold water to keep butter placed in the sink, from melting, andTto keep milk from souring. At present there is not enough head of water in the race to keep a sufficient supply in the stand pipe in the evenings, so that all the users of water, with water rent paid by the year, can obtain it. It has been necessary for some time now, to operate two pumps, continuously, when there is barely enough water to operate one pump at the power ‘ house. Tuesday night, only one pump could be operated. Members of the town board claim that the only solution to the problem is for water meters to be installed, which necessarily will make the charge for water higher and will make everyone pay for the amount of water he uses. They say that the amount of water used will be reduced considerably. The situation is taking on the as-

pect of-the town board letting the water customers voluntarily bring on a Serious water shortage, so that the installation of meters can be made easily and without the opposition such a suggestion now brings forth. The board may even wait until water in the race is so low the pumps cannot be operated and it will be necessary to attach the electric pump which will cost so much niore that the town must receive more money for the water. The problem now is not one of finance, for the water company always pays its own way, and its funds in the past have been used for other purposes than maintenance of the water company. The problem now is of water shortage. The real solution is to stop sprinkling at once, and to educate people to consider the good of all, not just This would be better than the indirect method of fqrcipg the use of meters and increasing the company’s i revenue by letting the water level become lower. Has any sprinkler, or member of the town board, considered the danger of fire with the present water shortage and lack of pressure? MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS Five more convicts walked out of Michigan City Prison with little difficulty, Saturday, just as ten others did, several months ago when Dillinger first obtained the title of Public Enemy No. 1. But Dillinger and his boy friends were caught in Arizona and on Tuesday,, two of the five who left Michigan City last Saturday were caught in - Mexico, Missouri. But then no one ever said “Go West, young convict, go west.” And that note left on Dillinger’s grave, found after the funeral service, stating, “I’ll get her” and signed “J. H.”, evidently was to make the public believe John Hamilton was communicating by writing to the noble spirit of his departed friend. Wouldn’t “thought waves" have done just as well? Can Hamilton be sure spirits read, or was that just another publicity stunt? A “thought wave" wouldn’t have rated a headline. 0 BIRTHDAY PARTY HELD In honor of the birthday of Mrs. Millard Fore, friends and relatives gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Click and family of Lake Papakeechie to enjoy the occasion on Sunday, July 29th.
