Judges sometimes have strange
experiences. You probably remem-
Der that it was a judge who met
Maud Muller on a summers day,
and how after that meeting he
repined on the fact that ''it might
have been" At one of our local
restaurants one day this week there
was another instance of 1T might
have only different. A dis
trict judge sat down to his evening
meal and ordered an oyster stew
from a maiden fair. The coy maiden
was probably somewhat iiustered in
waiting upon so much judicial dig
nifty. at least, when serving the order
she inadvertently substituted bowl
of cream gravy for the oyster stew.
She probably ''blushed as she gave
it, looking down." just as Maud
Muller did. and the judge probably
took occasion to observe that a
form more fair, face more sweet,
ne'er hath it been my lot to meet"
At least the Judge and the shy young
waiter girl were evidently both rat
tied. as neither observed that a
mistake had been made. The judge
was so oblivious to his surroundings
that he had even made way with
half of the order of cream gravy be-
fore he noticed that it was not an
oyster stew. Alas for maiden. alas
for judge, for rich repiner and
household drugde, for of all sad
words of tongue or pen. the saddest
are these: 1t might have been"
an oyster stew, but it wasn't.

Burns & Mcdonnell. civil. hy-
draulic and sanitary engineers. Of
Kansas City, Mo. who have submit
ted plans and specifications for de-
veloping the water supply of La
Junta, recently made chemical an
alysis of the water used in La Junta
They give the cheerful information
that il is an unusually hard water"
something tina. most people in La
Junta found out years ago. Accord
ing to their analysis the per cent of
hardness is 1872. and of alkalinity
l5.50 per cent. That does not leave
much room for water that is pure
and undefiled. The firm says that
the cost Of treating this water and
softening 1t would be approximately
twelve cents per thousand gallons.
In fact the cost of treating the water
would be three or four times as
much as the cost of pumping water
per thousand gallons. Treating the
water is almost prohibitory owing
to the great expense, so La Junta
will probably have to get along with
its present unusually hard water"
until Henry Fosdick builds his pipe
line down from Fowler. Although
the plan of securing a water supply
for domestic purposes from Fowler
would be something in the nature of
a luxury there are plenty of people
in La Junta who would be willing To
pay the price.

II does not follow because man
can pound drill well or because an
other is an alfalfa expert. or another
is a champion stock breeder. that
either of them know anything about
book keeping or handling financial
problems for the public, and yet we
put such citizens into office because
they are honest and good fellows
and expect them To stumble through
a term or two without getting into
trouble. In justice to the office
holder the state should give him a
uniform system of accounts and
check up his clerks frequently to see
that they are keeping the accounts
straight. and that the laws govern
ing the office are being enforced.
Ii would save many a good man
from making blunders that cost him
him his good name. and it would
save others from going absolutely
wrong and from landing in the pen
itentiary. 1t would save the tax
payers money and keep things run

is simply plain everyday business
