VJTE TO SETTLE
WATER QUESTION
IN BURLINGTON
Council Unable to Solve Cues
ton of Storage or Filtra-
ton System.
Especial to the Evening Star.l

BURLINGTON, July 24.-The ques-
ton OF the availability of the different
sources of water supply for this city
are to be put to a popular vote this
fall. The Council, which has had the
matter under consideration for six
months, has failed to come to an agree
ment, some favoring a filtration system
and others a well or spring system.
1t is said that enormous quantities of
pure water go to waste from springs
in the hills back of this city every day,
and there Is a widespread opinion that
this water should be used. City En-
gineer Henry S. Haines and State
Photographer C. c. Vermeule are sup
porting the latter plan.
Richard P. Budd called attention to
the failure of filtration at Mount Holly,
where an outbreak Of typhoid resulted
In the discovery that the Rancocas
Creek, from which water is taken, was
polluted twenty miles up the stream,
He declared 1t would be folly for Bur-
lington to attempt to filter water from
the Delaware, which is polluted from q
score of cities.
1t is intended before election to have
the State topographer complete his re-
port on the availability of the lake and
spring supplies. This water Vermeule
has already declared could be stored
at a height of sixty feet above the
city, so that 1t would run by gravity
to the present water plant, from which
1t could be pumped into the supply
mains.

Then Robbins crossed to the inside. A
signal was given by the umpire when
Halswelle was fouled, and all the men
with the exception of Carpenter, who
ran right out, partially pulled up, as
the worsted having been broken there
could be no race. Taylor ran perfectly,
fairly throughout.
The Judges themselves inspected the
footmarks which showed with perfect
~clearness that what had happened was
unquestionably such as to bear out
the umpire's signal and prove that a
foul had been committed"
The London morning papers described
the affair as an unpleasant incident
and a bad blot on the Olympic games
The Express says: we firmly believe
that American sportsmen will regret
equally with us the unfortunate Incl
dent which makes the relations between
them and the British competitors more
strained than ever. We hope that no
attention will be paid to wild words on
such subjects on either side of the At
lantic."
The Daily News attributes the "un-
savory'' incident to the gambling ele-
ment, and V at has besmirched the
whole character of the Olympic games
and has brought us face to face with
that aspect of modern sport which
makes the revival of this classic event
an irony"
In the general descriptions of the
race the morning newspapers unhesi-
tatingly adopt the view of the judges
that Carpenter was guilty of boring.
1t is alleged that a doctor examined
Halswelle and oun bruises from these
blows.
The Daily Telegraph goes far toward
accusing the Americans of deliberately
planning to hamper Halswelle. 1t says;
"They knew none of them was equal
to Halswelle, so they were set to help
one another on their journey. 1t is the
writer's view that all had a separate
mission, although Taylor was no party
to the plan laid down."
Sporting Life says: What needs To
be emphasized is that the utmost pre-
cautions were taken to insure a fair
race. No less thap a dozen umpires
were stationed aroun6 the course with
definite instructions aS\to what to dc

Every person that has an orchard

spraying alone can the orchards be
protected from insect and fungous
pests The men that still refuse to
credit the value of spraying have
nothing but their own observations

best and most successful orchardists
In the country Can the opponents
of spraying point to a single large
orchardist that does not spray his

Spraying the trees protects them
and their fruit not only against many
insects, but also protects them
against large number of fungi.
many of them so minute that they are
not observed until they have obtained
a firm hold of the trees. In case
the San Jose scale is present 1t Is
necessary to do the work of spraying
in the winter while the trees are dor

ing outfit will receive with that out
fit full directions for using all kinds
of sprays and when to use them.
The man that delays very long now
is not likely to do any spraying this
season. A man might as well not
spray at all If he does not do 1t in
time. and frequently the time during
which the spraying should be done
to combat a certain pest Is very linn

EVIL IN LITTLE JEALousrEs.
snobbistiness on Part Of Merehants'
Wives Sometimes Injuries Trade.

Since the time OF Eve woman has
been accredited with being jealous
creature, and in history are recorded
numerous cases where this element
has had its influence in building up
and tearing down nations. In the av-
erage rural town. among the little
evils noticed. is that often merchants
wives do not consider the wives Of the
farmers their equals socially or other
wise. One woman in a town can cast
the stigma Of snobbishness upon quite
few others who are known as her
associates, and sometimes to the det
riment of the place. 1t may be that
wives of merchants dress better than
do the wives and daughters of farm
ers. Possibly the children of the town
tradesman may wear better clothes.
Envy Is knife that cuts deep. and
perhaps without apparent reason
some woman concludes that the wife
of certain merchant thinks herself
better than the wives of the people
who give her husband a means of liv-
ing. 1t is the women of the farm
household who have the greatest In
fiuence in the matter of buying. 4
word from the wife will often turn
trade from the usual channel, and
this word may be caused by the atti-
tude of the merchapts wife who.
through some neglect or discourtesy,
unfavorably impresses the wife of the
farmer. There is nothing like a
friendly feeling as a trade stimulator
II the wife of the merchant would
only cultivate more closely the &C.
Quaintance and the friendship of the
women residing in the farming dis.

it would work wonders in the way OF
bringing additional trade to the town.
Snobbishness never pays. The sturdy
| women who reside on farms are quite
often the superiors of those who reside
in the towns and are perhaps tho
wives of the merchants. The boys
and girls reared on the farm average
well with those of the towns. Thes,
facts should be realized Petty jeal
ousies should be done away with
when they exist between the peopl,
who reside in the towns and those
who reside in the country. 1t is best
for the community.
