Gets Red Water.

Ed V. Mellott, near Pleasant
Ridge, would have a good excuse
for painting things red" if he
was so inclined. A number of
years ago he bored 6O-foot we'll
that produced red water which
was useless. He bored another
we'll this fall, II feet deep that
produces the same kind of fluid.
Mr.. Mellott is at a loss to know
how to remedy his lack of water.
Maybe if he would give it one of
the jaw-breaking names we now
see in the newspapers while read
ing war news, and recommend it
as a wonderful cure for corns or
something, he could sell enough
of it to pay for the cost of bor-
ing the two wells. 1t is hard
luck to go to so much expense
and not get good water.
