 You see," she went on, noticing that Mildred was so much interested in the ducks that she had put down her new doll. T was peeking through the fence, watching two young roos- ters fight. That is, they made believe to fight at first, walking round and round each other and bristling out their feathers in the funniest way; and then they looked at each other as savage as could be; and just then up waddled those two fat ducks that grandmother calls 'Pippin' and Dump ling They came right in between the roosters and pushed them right apart. Pippin pecked at one and Dumpling at the other. Then they walked on as grand as could be, and the young roos- ters bristled up at each other again, and made funny little noises. Well, Dumpling and Pippin began quaeking just as if they didn't like it at all, and came right back, and pecked at the roosters so hard that they stopped Quarreling. and ran off-"
 Mildred had listened admiringly. and now insisted on hurryi1g out to the barn-yard to see Pippin and Dumping.
 Do you believe many people know as much as we do about ducks? asked Beth, as they peered through the fence

WILL LAY OFF
MANY MORE men
Water Board Finances Low
So RetrenChmentS Must
be Made

The Water Department by reason
of its financial condition, is compelled
to lay off a number Of its employees.
The men effected most are laborers and
about twenty-five of these will have
to go. The department has FIVE
plumbers and five plumbers helpers
and some of these are also booked to
go. There are no meters on hand TO
install, despite the fact that there is
large number Of applications for
them, and consequently all the plumb
ers and helpers now employed by the
department. will not be needed.
The question OF purchasing meters
came up before the board at its meet
ing yesterday afternoon but as the
finances Of the department are low
1t was decided to postpone action.
Registrar McIntire prepared a sche-
dule of the estimated operating ex-
penses Of the department to July l.,
the beginning of the new fiscal year
and also for the month Of July. The
board will have sufficient money TO
operate the department by that timu,
eliminating the replacing or the lay
ing Of water mains; the purchase OF
lead pipe or meters. The $4,000 which
the board expects to get from City
Council The money represents the
interest paid on the last 100000 water
loan, which Council withheld from the
departments appropriation. The mem
bers of the board think that inasmuch
as all the receipts of the department
are turned over to Council that body
should pay all the bills of the board.
Registrar McIntire's report follows.
