Waterw0rks Improvements.

The Yuma Water and Light Compa- ny evidently means to fulfill its prom ises made at the time Of the bond elec- tion some months since. The company has had considerable number of men at work for several days Including Sun- day ] putting in new six-inch waterpipe, which appears to be first-class material and of sufficient thickness to withstand the constant and adequate pressure for fire service which it is proposed to maintain. Preparations have been under way fer some time for a Altering apparatus near the pumping station, which means that We are to be served constantly with clear and wholesome water. As result of these improve. ments, the better fire protection will doubtless lower insurance rates about half, and the purer water will add ma terially to the healthfhlness of the community. There is reason to bt i thankful.

That's the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clear ing the head and throat.
 No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, polIutes the breath, deranges the stom- ach and affects the appetite.
 To cure catarrh, treatment must be titutional-alterative and tonic.

MOT ! Good Condition.

I'VE are pleased to announce" ae'
Clares the Sterling Record. "that II
man owns johnson county land ne -
rich and could get richer, but 10 ricn
enough TO retire from agricultural
pursuits"
This is by no means boomers
boast. On the contrary, 1t Is literally
true, but unconsciously the johnson
county paper has sounded an alarm
that should awaken thoughtful men
to the impending menace Of American
landlordism.
When the farmer becomes ricn
enough to retire from agricultural puf'
suits and removes himself and his
family to town, to live on the rent Of
his farm, he has reached the danger
line. What is most to be dreaded for
the western states 10 the degeneration
and the decentralization Of the farmer.
When farming is done by proxy and
the sons and daughters desert the
soil on which they were reared to seel
the sllurements Of the towns ano
cities, American agriculture will be re-
manded to an impoverished tenantry'
drifting steadily downward to the
state Of vassalsge that has driven

The fire occurred on wash day. and was caused by defective flue. The laundry, en- and the girls bath house were burned. |, together with some supplies, making a total loss of about $2.000. The Executive Committee of the Synod, at its April meeting, completed the purchase of the farm of 1G6 acres for the Home. We still need about 1000 to complete payment for and moderately equip the farm. The Home owes nothing on support account at this time. but summer Is coming on and contributions usually fall off during that season Your committee would therefore recommend liberal contributions on the part of all our churches and church societies to the Home, not only on &C., farm and laundry funds of the Home.
