WATER SCARCE AGAIN
Consumers Urged To Be Careful la Its
Use SOuthgate Fountain Turned
off

Mr.. Harry J. Hopkins, the president
of the Water Company, has given out
officially that the water condition are
as grave today as they were before
the rain a week ago.
Mr.. Hopkins urges the water con-
sumers to observe the utmost care in
the use of water as conditions are
grave Today the water is again
turned off from the Southgate Me-
mortal Fountain, Church Circle, to
save the water supply. The reser-
voir, which was benefited by the
rain a week ago, has diminished in
supply to just the state of things
before the rain came after the long
drouth.
And yet people persist in wasting
water. Scarcely a street in town
where some man or woman cannot
be seen all hours in the day playing
with the hose, and this in the face
Of scarcity of water. Will not
the water consumers be warned

And thereby hangs a tale. Mrs.
Pratt came to Annapolis over three
weeks ago, on September 81, bring
ing lot of baggage, to spend the
winter. Among the trunks was a
large French hamper, which was
checked to Annapolis, and the check
for which she gave to local livery
man. Despite persistent efforts to
locate the trunk, it has never been
found until last night after the paper
appeared containing the ad.
The hveryman, so Mrs. Pratt,
said, positively refused to be respon
sible for the trunk, and before putting
the matter into the hands of law
yer, the owner of the trunk thought
to advertise in the Capital, which she
did with the desired result, the trunk
was located and returned to its owner
today. Same old story.

Over Annapolis

Today Mr.. Ennalls Waggaman, a
popular young business man and real
estate dealer, left for Washington

the term that will expire next March.
At the meeting OF the New Castle

the different districts throughout the
county to the effect that there is
unanimity OF feeling among Republic
cans that has not obtained for manv
years. With a Republican majority in
the forthcoming Legislature, the re-
election OF Senator DUPONT will natur-
ally follow.
Harry H. Biilany, the Republican

Farmers Exchange Down State

We hear Of much good results OF ths
Produce Exchange that was recently
organized here under the name of
sussex Farmers Union OF Delaware
Competition is the lie oi business,
and better prices for berries have been
realized than ever before and ii the
farmers generally interest themselves
and stand by the organization. much
good will result. The failure uf such
movements i'll the past has been large
ly due to lack OF concert on the part
oi most farmers and loss OF interest
after the first year. Ii the farmers are
to get fair prices they must stand to-
g"ther, produce good fruits and
above all see that they are properly
packed. individuals can accomplish
little. but all the farmers acting toge-
thcr can not only get better prices. but
all the farmers, or most OF them, can
bring about needed reforms in prcpa,
ing and packing. This exchange IS a
farmers organization. and in order to
make it as successful and strong as the
Eastern Shore OF Virginia Produce
Exchange ard other urganZat ons OF
kind throughout the country, it is very
necessary that the farmers give it their
support and patronage The farmer in
order to get his portion of the profits
OF his labor must get closer to the
consumer: he must do away with the
mIddlcman; he must have his produce
handled direct from the farm to the
dealer, who distributes it among the
retail trade, and the only way in which
this can be accomplished is BY thor
ough organization, close cooperation.
a combination oI products for ship
ment. and Capitalization OF market
ing facilities. The farmers not oniy
in this section. but throughout the
State. are allowing buyers, brokers ana
solicitors to handle their products. and
the expense is entirely too great
therefore. il would be well for each
and every grower in this section to
cooperate with the officers OF the Sus-
sex Farmers Union IL making it a
great. strong, profitable and indepen-
dent organization OF farmers.

Another View On the School

The feeling in Newark regarding
the action OF the School Board has

they had positive assurance OF this.

risk and again not that | have any
thing but the greatest respect for
these men, felt that the other men
were much better equipped to sue

these men were elected-thev disre-
garded the petition which, to my mind
was mistake 1t seems to me. that
with sucn force as those petitions h;
back OF them, that to say the least, it
would have been wise to consider it
for Jew days. But the thing is done
and ii it is a mistake, let us make the
best OF it.
The point | want to make is this 3
That some are taking the attitude OF
sitting by and watching the havoc that
they think will be made. They are al
ready in trouble, but let us help them
Ii it were the men alone. can see
how this would be perhaps the wise
thing to do. but il is the children who
will suffer by this action and it is these
same children who will suffer ii we do
not do our best to help them.
