terw orks is an important one to us, ant
while talking of an artesian well, we would
suggest the feasibility of digging well

their splendid spring fill it, put in your en-
CINE and pipes and force the water where
ever you want it. 1t can be done to GER

score of 25 for Searboro and 10 for Pei

by bluffing the umpire, Liston Mcmillan
of Oskaloosa, but when they found that he
"had been there" they refused to continue
the game unless an umpire from Pella was
substituted, to which the Searsboro boys
consented rather than have the game stop
but notwithstanding the change, they bea
them by the above score.
