SAY 1T is GOOD WATER.

State Board of Health Examines
Specimen From School Well.
For sometime it has been report
ed that the water from the deep
we'll on the public school grounds
is impure, and recently the board
of school commissioners sent a speci-
men of the water to the state board
of health. The result of the exami-
nation of the water is told in the fol-
lowing letter from Mr. H. F. Harris,
secretary of the board, to DR.. Lamar,
who forwarded the water:
Il have examined the specimen of
water received from you some days
since, and beg to submit the follow
ing report: Chloride, trace; nj
trates, none; nitrites. none; free am
monia, .04 parts per Million albume-
mold ammonia, .03 parts per million;
gas producing organisms, very few;
number bacteria per &C. 312.
From this analysis | should say
that this is indeed very good water.
From the small number of gas pro-
ducing organisms present it is evil
dent that there is but very little, if
any, sewage contamination. The de-
lection of the typhoid bacillus in
drinking water is a meteorological
feat which has been accomplished in
not more than one-half dozen cases,
but judging from the small amount
of contamination l feel safe in say
ing that there is no danger from your
drinking water"

Sunday Morning Sermon.
Rev. O. B. Chesters text Sunday
morning was 'Thy Kingdom Come. i"
He said we can best Judge people by
their prayers. Their petitions show
their purpose in life. This petition
shows that the purpose of Jesus was
nothing less than the complete sal
walton of all people. He never pur-
posed the loss of anyone. 1t shows
farther that He would have this be
our purpose. A man with a less
purpose has his prayers narrowed,
his creed confused, and his concep-
ton of the church perverted
There are three divine institutions
by and through which the world is
to be saved and Christ's Kingdom es-
tablished-the state, which is mans
sphere of action and influence; the
home, which is woman's, and the
church, which is the sphere of each
alike. The state is what man makes
it, the home what woman makes it.
All of these are to be used in the
salvation of people, and the estab-
fishing of Christ's kingdom.

MARTIN RETlRES FOR REST
Organizer Of House of Parlin, 0ren-
dorff & Martin Sells Out.
IMPLEMENT HOUSE HAS GROWN
Euclid Martin. Incorporated Twenty
Eight Years Ago, and Now
Leaves Business with
Former Partners.

Euclid Martin has sold his interest in the
Parlin. Orendorff & Martin company, and
after forty years OF continuous service in
the implement business will retire from
active business and for a year at least will
take complete vacation, leaving in thirty
days to spend the remainder of the winter
with hts family In California.
The deal was concluded Friday afternoon
between Mr.. Martin and u. G.. Orendorff,
secretary and treasurer of the Parlin &
Orendorff company OF Canton, ILL.,, who
own and operate one OF the largest and old
est plow factories in the world, with a
branch and distributing house at every
principal business center In the United
States and foreign countries. Mr. Martin
sells his entire holdings to William II. Par
lin and U. G. Orendorff.
The Parlin, Or,sndorff & Martin company
was organized and Incorporated in Omaha
In 1880 by Mr.. Martin, and maintains in
Omaha one of the largest implement con-
Germs in the United States. Mr.. Martin
has been connected with and managed the
business of the company ever since its
organization and during all the years the
relations between himself and his business
associates have been, and still remain, most
agreeable.
George NJ. Durkee Of Minneapolis. who is
we'll known In Omaha, will arrive IN Omaha
Saturday to assume active management
Of the Omaha house.
Mr.. Martin says that the physicians have
ordered him to keep away from work and
worry completely for a year and that he
Intends to follow out their advice. During
his connection with the company he has
tended to much OF the detail work and
thinks he has earned a rest. When Mr..
Martin organized the company thirty years
ago there was but one employe, and now
over fifty are on the payroll the year
around.
Mr.. orendorff has been making a round
OF the houses of his firm and says that
he looks for an enormous increase in busI-
ness during the coming year.
THE automobile business is getting big -
said Mr.. orendorff. THE manager of our
Kansas City house resigned December 1 to
80 into the automobile business and he
told me yesterday that since then he has
sold over 100 machines; quite a record for
forty-five days"
