Oh! Say! Did you come and
see that game of ball Sunday
Well now wasn't that a whooper? ?
Who ever thought that Ferdi-
nand would send out her babies
to play ball against the Western
Star boys. Say Ferdinand were
you not afraid your little tootsie-
wootsies would get lost? Oh my,
wouldn't that have been bad,
the dear little babies standing
and calling for their Ma, II
want my Ma, II want to go
home to my Ma, boohoo, boo
hoo" Well now Ferdinand just
let us give you a bit of advice.
The next time you send out your
infants be sure and give them
along a few cookies so they don't
get hungry and above all, give
them a handkerchief so they can
clear away that sugar drip"
under the nose. When the
babies came on the diamond the
boys fatty refused to take care
of them and so a nine was picked
from among the spectators. The
score was 8 to 5. The way
Dad" run for 3rd base was not
very slow. No wonder! This
is what was on 3rd base-BEER.
A number of the Cottonwood
people came up to see the game
and although the original game
did not come off they all seemed
to enjoy the way the boys would
try to get to that particular base.
The band played a few pieces
which was also very much ap-
preciated and for just starting
and being all new members in
the band they did very well and
all join in saying many thanks
to the boys for the treat.

That Waller
Question Again
A Meeting Called for Monday
Evening to Decide Whether the
Town or a Private Company is
to Put in System.

of providing this town with a
water system is again agitating
the citizens and hope to see the
matter assume some active shape
this time and be carried through
to completion. For the past five
years we have constantly advo-
Gated the establishing of a sys-
tenn of water works here but so
far nothing has been done.
Now, however, we believe the
time has come to take the mat
ter up in all earnestness and car
ry it through without stopping.
We understand the village can
bond for Is per cent of its taxed
valuation for fire protection and
this would give us about $12,000
to work on. Many believe a
system could be put in for that
amount but should it prove in
sufficient more money could east
ly be raised by local people to
provide the amount necessary
to install an adequate water
system for fire protection, and
local consumption. That we
need the system no one will de-
ny. There are few towns in the
state the size of Cottonwood that
are without a water system and
the risk we constantly run of be-
ing burned out should cause us
all to do everything in our power
to secure protection. The exces-
sive insurance rates paid here at
present is another reason why
we need fire protection and last,
but not least, we need a supply
of good, pure water for family
use as the we'll supply is none of
the best and as the town grows
this supply is bound to become
more unsanitary. The burning
of the town of Hope this week
and the obstruction done to near
ly Is towns in this state last
year by fire should cause all to
seek to secure fire protection for
this place before a similar fate
befalls us. Now that the rail-
road is building there will be no
trouble in floating the bonds and
we believe if the city council will
call for a vote the citizens will
see the need of fire protection
strongly enough to pass the
bonds by a good majority. No
one denies that we need the wa
ter. Then why wait and run
chances of getting burned out.
Talk it over and see if the town
cannot put in a system of its
own. By request we call a meet
ing for the purpose of talking
the proposition over and endeav-
oring to secure a water system,
said meeting to be held on Mon
day eve, July %, at 8 o'clock at
the Office of the Camas Prairie
Land Co. Don't be absent.
Come out and help others work
for what we need the most.

and on Tuesday the two families
left for Moor's lake near Buffalo

AS an example of how fast

the attention of our readers to
the number of new faces seen on

is lucky if he knows half the
