Their house was found wide open and
deserted. Lying about it and inside

BETTER SCHOOL
GROUNDS URGED
CIubWOmen Begin Move to I'M
prove Yards by Filling DAN
gerouS Pits.

Mrs. Charles J. Haden. president of
the City Federation of Women's Clubs,
began movement today for the i'm
provement of schoo yards.
why not take advantage of all the
waste dirt from the various street ex-
cavations the city is making and use
this to fill up the school yards?"
This question will be asked the city
council by the club women. '
There are holes in our school house
Fairgrounds big. enough for a child to
fall in said MIS-. Haden. Il under
stand that much of the earth which is
being removed from along Peachtree
and Baker streets and at various other
places in the city is being actually
given away to those who will haul it,
and in many cases is being hauled by
the city wagons and dumped gratis on
some ones lot which needs filing.
Now, why not let the city haul this
dirt to the school yards and throw it
there? Practically every yard in town
needs some filling and, as l said, many
of them are in a deplorable state.
In many cases the dirt could be
dumped in the yard and scraped over
with a few shovels and that would be
all the labor required. At the Forrest,
Davis and Tenth street schools a re-
tanning wall would have to be built, but
this ought to be done anyway"
Mrs Haden is going to bring the
matter up before the next meeting of
the federation and numbers of At
lanta's most prominent club women are
backing her in the movement.

Water Stock
Certificates
Ready.

Pursuant to an agreement
with the settlers under this pro-
Ject the Twin Falls Oakley Land
and Water company are now
prepared to deliver the stock cer-
tifcateS to those who turned
water into the company and for
which they were to receive paid
up certificates in return therefor.
According to the contract, or
agreement, entered into, the COM
pany were to deliver to the old
settlers a paid-up water certif-
cate amounting in shares to the
value of their water right based
on valuation agreed to among
themselves according to the value
of the different water rights whei,
the contract was entered into.
These deeds placed in escrow
were to be delivered to the com
pany and the stock certificate de-
livered to the people when the
dam was seventy feet high.
The State Engineer has now
certified to the highth of the dam
and the deeds have been delivered
to the company and the stock
certificates are ready for delivery
to the people who turned water
into the company.
In calling for their certiica tes
which should be done as early as
possible, the people should check
up the amount of water turned
in and it's value with the water
company, which the latter is pre-
pared to do, so that in the future
the $4,000 water payments VIII
be all that will require attention
and when fully pald the nnal GER
tifcate will be rendered.
1t appears that some land ow-
ners are under the impression
that payment for water is now
due but such is not the case. 1t
Is only the delivering of stock
certificates that are paid up by
the settlers having turned in
their water to the company, and
no more.

Ban on Misuse of
Delivery Window
No MORE CLANDSTINE CORES
PONDENCE IF THE POSTOFFICE
DEPARTMENT CAN HELPTT-PER-
TINENT QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED
OF Young MEN AND WOMEN.

Uncle Sam has set the ban on
clandstine correspondence, and
hereafter the young lady who re-
ceives letters at the general deliv-
cry window instead of at home
will have to convince Uncle Sam
that there is nothing out of the
way about it. The new regulat-
ions to prevent abuses of the gen.
eral delivery window have gone
into effect. These are questions
which clerks IN all postofices
in the country may ask:
"Are you 21 years OF age?"
Have you a permanent resid-
ence here?"
"Are you using a fictitious
manner"
as this correspondence illegal?"
The first two questions are con-
sldered the most important, in
as much as they are the ones
most likely to be answered truth
fully. If they are answered in
the affirmative the clerk will an
swcr:
"The mail will be delivered at
your home by the regular car
riers."
Persons who have permanent
addresses will not be able to re-
ceive mail at the general delivery
window in the same city unless
they explain their reasons to the
postmaster and he approves their
applications.
