AN EASY WAY TO OPEN A FROZEN PUMP
A gentleman of our town who for number
of winters past experienced great inconven-
icnce by the freezing of his pump, has dis
covered a very easy and simple way of mas.
teIing the difficulty. AS soon as he finds the
pump is frozen, he takes a section of gas or
water pipe, about three fourth of an inch or
an inch in diameter, some four or five feet
long, and inserts it from the top Of the pump
until it reaches the ice, when he f! lis it with
boiling water by means o: a funnel. The hot
water quickly eats its wey through the ice,
and in few minutes it is all thawed out
and the pump ready to give its accustomed
flow Of water.-Frcd'k Times

THE LOCAL Personal---very. year every
local paper gives from 800 to $4,000 in free
lines for the sole benefit of the vicinity in
which it is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in proportion to
his means does more for his town, than any
other ten men, and in all fairness, man with
man, he ought to be supported, not because
you may happen to like him or admire his
writing, but because a local paper is the best
investment a cummunity can make. 1t may
not be brilliant nor crowded with great
thoughts, but financially, it is more of a
benefit 10 a community than the preacher or
teacher. Understand us now; we don't mean
morally or intellectually, but financially,
and yet On the moral question you will find
the majority of the local papers are on the
right side of the question To-day the edi-
tors of local papers do the most work for the
le'a; money of any men on earth.-Dartd
