Companion Is For Everybody.

Of course if you are too young to
read, or so old You have forgotten
how, YOU may not enjoy The Youth s
Companion. That is rather a sweep
ing statement. however, for hosts of
children love to have the stories and
iingles of the Children's Page read
to them. There is many grand
father and grandmother whose eyes
are dim who like nothing better than
to sit and listen to The Companion
stories and articles. Many blind
person, and even those who In addi-
ton can neither speak nor hear have
been cheered by The Companion, its
contents havinv been communicated
to them through the fngertips Of
friends. The reading of The Youth s
Companion is pretty sure cure for
all kinds of loneliness. Robinson
Crusoe would have been a happier
man if he could have had his Com
panion Thursday as we'll as his man
Friday. Just send for the Pros
peetus for 1912 and sample copies
of the paper.
We think you will agree, when
you have read them, that no other
paper gives quite so much of such a
high quality as The Companion, and
it costs only $1.75 now for the 50
weekly issues. On January l. 1912,
the subscription price will be ad-
vanced TO 800.
The new subscriber receives gift
of The Companion Calendar for

FUND IS OvfRDRAWN
No Money With Which To Do the
New Work Which Had
Been Planned
Heretofore.

AT the special session of the city
council last night to act on the new
plat of the Commercial Club, an
other matter was brought up incl
dentally by report of the new
chairman of the water-works CON-
mittee, Councilman Underwood. Mr..
Underwood presented report on
the water-works plant when he took
hold Of the matter.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Clizbe, an expert on water-works at
fairs was in charge of this depart
ment. There had been installed two
electric motors for pumping water,
but the morning after Mr.. Clizbe re-
signed one of the new motors was
burned out, and it has been sitting
there ever since, nothing being done
with IT. Naturally Mr. Underwood
does not want TO be charged with
ANYTHING for which he is not re-
isponsible. so he makes the following
exhaustive report of the condition of
this department when he was APP

Mr.. John B. Bowel.
Mayor City of Plymouth, Ind
Dear Sir-Having been appointed
BY you as Chairman of the Water
Works Committee of the City Coun-
ell. it Is fitting that I report to you
the conditions existing when 1 first
examined into water works affairs
At the time of the Elevator fire
last July, there were several leaks
made manifest In the old wood
water pipes, on north Walnut street
on Dickson street and on Pear
street. These leaks were not attend
ed to, and the Superintendent OF
Water Works was maintaining dan.

The water was being wasted in large
quantities also. The most seriou:
point about this state of things with
the water mains. was tia. n case OF

that some months since pew pump

Chairman Water Works Com


P. S.-The report of the City
Treasurer shows the condition of the
finances Of the Water Works. Many
of our people have been led to think
that with the ''present system, +"
,he Water Works was able TO pay
revenue into the treasury beyond
the expenses incurred in maintain
ing it. However I find that besides
its share of the Funded" indebt-
edness of the City, the Water Works
fund is oyerdrawn on the General
Fund to the amount of $7491 .03.
With plenty of money repairs and
extensions would be easy. With this
condition known, perhaps citizens
will be careful 10 ask only what is
absolutely necessary, until the snarl
is untangled
