YOU ever notice the number and
variety of schemes that tn,
newspapers present to theil
readers' 4 writer will in a few
inches OF space advance sugges-
tons that may require barrels OF
money and years of toll to re.
luce or elevate to utility. Then
hcv may never give the matter
another line and mention it only
IN conversation as testimony
that the few men who work down
heir soulCases for the commu-
nifty are slow. The real way to
do in the editing business is to
generally provide interesting
matter along certain lines, then
when YOU see that the citizens
-oally want something done and

nihding them of it. No news

inches beyond public opinion
without "corking" itself. II the

have, observers have noted, two
classes of nuisanCes on two legs.
One is the man willing to agree

other is the very numerous indl-

One of the greatest inconven.
. fences in connection with a
windmill is the leaking of the
tank. When the water is low
the tank shrlnks and OF course
leaks. If you examine our model
of the Patent Constructing
Tank you will see its advantages.
The tank is made with a deeI
channel or groove IN the top OF
the slaves. This groove is filled
with water from pump discharge
which, by absorption, passes int
the pores of the wood, keeping
I the entire tank moist at all times
and preventing shrinkage. The
. incoming water from the pump
discharge first fills the channel
and the surplus passes into the
tank, flowing down the inner
surface of the tank wall. Tn,
object of this is to keep the joints
tight.
While we are talking of watel
supply we wish to keep before
your mind the superiority Of the
Improved Stone Filter. The
water comes through this pecu
liar quality of stone as pure anC
