TWO CAMPS OF DIFFERENT
KINDS.
There was no sign OF life on the road.
The 500 Italian iaborers had retired to
their houses and were asleep crowded
on the floors In the sitting rooms. Thei-
bodies were weary after the days to',
for the $50 which the OIL King allows
them. Another day OF blasting In the
quarry and digging out roads was be-
fore them. Sodden with sleep they were
quiet, leaving all to their agents, the
men who sleep days and keep the
wealthy awake at night. Over on he
william q. Rockefeller estate a few
miles away hundreds Of laborers also
were asleep. But they slept differently
Their wages were better and they are
all American born workmen. The two

BRIGGS NOT TO BE FOUND AT

Supt. Briggs was not In evidence. His

trees and dense bushes. The reporter
had scarcely reached the path which

The ease with which the reporter en-

sunnlied Town With Water.

During the long-continued drought OF
middle summer there was one section
in New England where the scarcity OF
water was particularly severe. In one
village in particular all the families
depended on wells for their supply and
practically every well was dry. The
situation was acute and what could be
done was a problem. Here the village
grange stepped in and proved itself a
community benefactor indeed. Appro-
Driating literally from its treasury and
securing quickly such other funds as
could be raised, the grange contracted
for the sinking of driven well on the
town common and had the work pushed
rs rapidly as possible. A fine supply
was struck and then the grange turned
it over absolutely to all who wished to
use il.
The supply proved ample and for
weeks. so long as the drought lasted
hundreds of gallons Of water daily
we're carried from the grange well to
supply all the household needs through
out the village. To supply thirsty
people with good water may be a
homely service, but it is also a dis
tinctly honorable one; and in so doing
that New England grange has won the
respect and gratitude of every person
In it's village.
