STOP THAT WATER wAsTEt,

There have been occasional water
shortages in Barre, when users of city
water have been warned to be careful
lest the supply be wasted. On those
occasions the water department has mott
lied its customers of the threatening CON
ditons. 1t has, therefore, got to be an
old story for people to be told that there
is danger Of water famine, and since
no bad results have followed they have
come to regard the warning as not ur-
gent IN the light of present events,
their slrmise was MORE or less correct !;
compared with the condition II the city's
reservoirs now, there was a plenty on
former occasions. Now, however, we
have got to the end oil our rope. There
must be absolutely no waste of water,
else the supply will be entirely exhaust
I'd Already one reservoir is furnishing
no water at all, that at ORANGE while
the more reliable reservoir on tho West
Hill has been drained to few feet
This has been due 10 the unprecedented
period Of drouth, which has affected all
parts of Vermont and which has ron-
dered many other communities as help
less as is Barre.
To meet the situation, there is only
one course to pursue, and that is for
every user of the city water, for what
ever purpose, to take it upon himself
personally to see that he himself is not
wasting drop Of the water. That this
is not an idle scare is to be noted by the
official notice published to-day from the
water committee. That notice applies
70 you. Make an investigation at once
and take the immediate steps to pre-
vent further waste. Think, Mr.. Proper
ty.owner, of the danger from coniiagrs-
ton with our fire department dependent
upon the force Of the water. Then go
and stop and waste.

DENYING FALSE REPORT.
The Caledonia County Fair Will Be
Held at st. Iohnsbury.

st. Johnsbury, Sept. 14.--The officers
Of the Caledonia county fair have been
busy denying by telephone that the
Caledonia county fair mas been post
poned because of an epidemic Of small
pox and typhoid fever. The fair will
be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day and the entries in most all depart
ments exceed all previous years.
There Is no smallpox in town and
there has not been case for a dozen
wears. Since the first of January, the
health officers reports As cases of ty-
phoid fever, three of which have proved
fatal. Some of these cases were
brought from other towns and the rest
we're traced to two springs which were
found to be contaminated and nave
since been abandoned. For town of
5000 people. the number of cases in
nine months is not considered large by
the medical profession and there never
las been time when it could be con-
sidered an epidemic.

Seed For All.

After a certain jury had been out an
inordinately long time on very simple
case they filed into the courtroom, and
the foreman told the Judge they were
unable to agree upon verdict. The
latter rebuked them, saying the case
was very clear one, and remanded
them back to the jury room for sec
ond attempt, adding, If you are there
too long, will have to send you in
twelve suppers.''
The foreman in a rather irritated
tone spoke up and said. MAY 1t please
