POINT OF VIEW

There IS no nobler monument 10 the
memory Of man or woman than a four
tain which quenches the thirst OF man
and beast. But there is one particular
in which the usual drinking fountain can
be improved. and I earnestly wish that
any such memorial contemplated IN the
future VIII answer the needs Il small

would not he worth considering. and he
benefits would be universal.
With the advent Of warm weather ther-
