Delroy grabbed q rain-coat from the
rack and Tremaine caught up another.
Across the lawn they sped, under the
trees. down to the waterfront. with
young Graham stumbling blindly along
behind them. The little white bath
house cleaned vivid in the glare of the
lightning. They entered and paused

"Drysdale came in just now looking

flicker of an eyelash, land yet n

There vas a hiss, q flash, and a great

That's q storm TO- sure: listen to

FARM FACTS,

Did you raise as good crops this year
as conditions of weather would allow?
Was there anything left undone that
was under the control of the man oper-
ating the farm? If SO then let us each
arrange to see that better conditions
are produced next season The farmer
may plant the best seed, on well pre-
pared soil, and cultivate according TO
the best methods that conditions will
admit of and yet fail to raise a crop.
The one who has done so can have no
cause for regret, but sometimes we fall
back of this when we fail to try again
with renewed energy.

DAIRY NOTES.

When a creamery has to close down
on account of the quality of milk deIiv-
cred TO 1t, it is time for some straight
from the shoulder talk. In the first
place there must be friendly cooperation
between creamery and patrons, else
both will lose. Then If patrons become
careless n deliver off-havored milk
day after day, they should stand the
losses. Any good buttermaker will
throw up his job rather than risk his
reputation by making butter from such
stuff.

a FIVE MILLS LEVY
Recommended for the Year
for Sinking Fund.
That a Building be Constructed for
the Central Fire Department Near
the Center of the City. $50

The curtailment OF expenses, the
codification of the city ordinances,
and keeping as low as possible the
city's bonded Indebtedness, are the
principal recommendations of the an
nual budget of the mayor which will
bc presented to the city council TO-
night. The budget is interesting in
many of its details.
The mayor, after jollying council
a little speaks of the large mileage
of the city in paved street, sand
stone sidewalks and sanitary sewers.
He believes that the time has been
reached when the yearly addition to
such mileage should be decreased
rather than kept up and recommends
that council in the futuer pave only
those streets that are sufficiently
settled. He also requested council
to take severe action against corpo-
rations that are tearing up the city
streets and falling to repair them
properly afterward.
In regard to the market house,
the mayor recommends that council
remodel the present city building,
50 that the city offices and board
rooms can be located there as well
as the market house. which is now
too small for its purposes. lie rec
ommends that council construct
building for the Central department,
either on the city property or on
a nc 20 thn
business center Of the city.
The members Of the various city
boards and the city officials are
highly commended by the mayor for
their work and interest in the city's
welfare.
The purchase Of motor generator,
n repeater and additional fire alarm
boxes, is recommended for the fire
department. II Is also asked that
council revise the present ordinances
50 that satisfactory method OF
handling the numerous dogs and
chickens at this time of the year,
can be had. Many complaints of
this nature have come into the po-
lice headquarters and there Is no re.
lief given under the present laws
The budget recommends that the
levy for the present year for the
sinking fund be five mills as re-
quested by the trustees of the fund.
In conclusion, the mayor justifes
his course In giving the doings OF
the police court without reserve TO
the newspapers by complimenting
the press in assisting him in stamp
Ing out many evils

The natural drainage of the prop
