WATER SUPPLY

Postal card notices ais we'll as mo-
tlce published in the Daily newspaper
announces that on Tuesday and Thurs
day users can have use of water from
6 to p. m. and on Sunday from 6
a. m. to 6. p. IN. to sprinkle lawns
and gardens. We have been asked
why the supply Of water was so plen-
tiful on Sunday and so scarce on
week days. Our reply was that we
supposed it was on account of a large
number of our manufacturing plants
being shut down on Sunday and ther
fore the supply of water being greater
Whether this is the correct explain
alton is only a matter of guess work
on our part. The city have been
spending many thousands of dollars
to increase the spring water supply
and yet when ever there is a dry
spell we are still short of the nee
essary supply. AS We understand it
during the spring when we have a
large supply We have had insufficient
reservoir capacity to retain the sur
plus water. The city have now let
contract for new reservoir of suf-
ficient capacity to remedy the def
cheney, we hope that this new re-
SeTNof WILL accomplish THIS de Slred,
result. It's provoking and aggravating
for patrons to be denied the free use
of water when they are Obliged to
pay for it. We hope the time will
soon come that the supply will be
sufficient SO that we can keep up
our lawns and gardens. It's very dis
couraging to buy seeds and plants
in the spring and have them die
down simply for the want of neces-
sary sprinkling.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

Readers of the Daily Reporter, and
Weekly Wood County Reporter, are
acquainted with the fact that both
are Republican in politics. We are
tarriff rates, nor for combination of
interests to control the necessaries
of life, or that will in any way de-
press the laboring classes. In county
and local politics we are republican
when party nominations are made,
but prefer the individual to the
party method. While this is true the
columns of the Daily and Weekly Re
porters are open for announcements
OF candidates of an parties as long
as they stand ready and willing to
pay for said ADVERTISING. This is
true of republican candidates who
seek preference at the primaries. Oul
local rates are &c per counted line in
either Daily or Weekly. For display
advertising DIT is sc per inch in the
Daily and Toe per inch in the Week

The continued drought is raising
havoc with the crops. Generally speak
ing hay is an unusually poor crop
in some instances having all dried
up standing. The small grains are
having a hard pull of it andaltho
corn has been making good growth it
stands in sore need of rain. Rye
has looked like a promising crop un-
til lately but while filling a rain
would be very beneficial. A large ma
jority OF our farmers have become
very discouraged with the crop out
look but when we take into consid-
Grafton the fact that on all sides
of us we hear the cry of poor crops
We should not blame it wholly on the
country but as the poet said we
should Cheer up, cheer up, the
worst is yet to come.
