Some Of the trustees argued tha,
he had forfeited these privileges
when he moved uptown, but the
board finally concluded to increase
his salary from *ll0 to $ll5 per
month, and let it 60 al that Three
electric light meters and one water

WAS argued, this is not giving all an

The large user of water-the waste
full ones, in fsct-paid no more than
the saving patrons who had
the towns best interest at heart
The meeting adjourned with the
matter still in the air-lost in evapor-
alton, so to speak. Mayor Collins
remarked that when he was building
his new house he complained that
those who had bathrooms in their
houses used more water than those
who did not have them. Goodness,
didn't you ever take bath before?'
the geptlemanly agent of the water
company asked him. 81 admitted
that bathing up ts then had been a
sort of luxury" continued the mayor.
Suggestions were freely offered that
the use of water to cleanse the outer
man was formerly looked upon by
many with suspicion that it was
fastidious. Eventually it is believed
the trustees will direct the light and
water committee to revise the
schedule Of rates and classify users

tribute the cost among consumers.
The board passed an ordinance,
drawn by Town Attorney Weeener,
compelling saloons to close on week
days at midnight and to remain closed
until SIX in the morning. They
must also close on Saturday nights
at midnight and remain closed until
SIX O'Clock the following Monday
morning. A fire Of $25 to 500 is
TO be imposed for violation. The
presence of people in barrooms dur

evidence that the law is being vio-
lated.

CYNTHIA GREY's DAILY CORRESPONDING

I have been keeping company
with a certain young lady for
some time, but recently l lost my
position and am, consequently un-
able to give her as good time
as formerly. l have asked her,
on two or three occasions, to
come out to my home and spend
the evening with my folks, but
she turned me down, saying she
would stand for me, but had no
time for my folks. Do you think
I could live harmoniously with
such girl?-R. w.
If the girl is not engaged to
you, it would be embarrassing for
her to go to your home, unless
the invitation came from your
mother. | think she is right in
declining to do so. If she cares
for you, she will undoubtedly ex-
cuse you from spending money
on her while you are out of posi-
ton, and will be content with a
social call from you, now and
then.

suitable port on that coast for naval
base"
He further Informed the German
ambassador that in the event Germany
failed to come to an agreement with
France, England would be obliged to
take steps to protect her interests.
This amounted practically to an ulti-
matum on the part of England. Had
the fever not subsidized at that point
the two countries might have clashed
in a war which would have far-reacll-
ing consequences When it came to
crisis, however. neither of the coun-
tries was anxious to take the first step.
England does, not want to be bossed
by Germany nor does she care to en-
gage in a fight for supremacy with
