MUST FURNISH WATER TO Gus
TONER'S.

1t has been the practice in a great
many cases for municipal water plants
to shut off the supply of water from
such users as are delinquent in the pay
ment for the same, the remedy being 50
effective as to force payment in most
cases; but the United States supreme
court has just held that water com
panies cannot employ that means to col
leet old debts The case is so nearly
analogous with countless Others that
may arise in any state Of the union that
II is worth paying attention to. The
suit came to the United States supreme
court from the state Of Idaho and was
termed Albert /. Hatch against the Mu-
nicipal Water company OF Cpur d'Alene,
it being an action to compel the furnish

state of Idaho held that the water COM
pany must connect IIatchs pipes ami

A Blessing to the Farmer.

Editor, Barre Daily Times,
Dear Sir: If you can spare little
space in your paper for a farmer to eX-
press his views on the present labor
trouble, it will be appreciated.
Heretofore, the farmer has paid the
merchant practically all the profit he
has made in his business. We go to
the counter, buy our goods at city prices,
carry them to our sleighs or wagons,
and take them home. In the city the de-
livery man drives a mile or two, gets
an order for ten cents worth of nutmeg,
and goes back to deliver it, and the pur.
chaser gets just as much nutmeg for his
ten cents as the farmer gets for his.
notice that, under existing conditions,
prices on many staple articles have been
reduced, and | would suggest that in
spite of the bad roads, it would be a good
idea for lot of us that do not live
over ten miles away, to lay in stock
of things we are going to need before we
again have to begin to help the city
men pay for their delivery teams. The
farmers viewpoint may be wrong and
cruelty expressed, but il is often worth
thinking about.

to the supreme court of the country the
decision of the state court was affirmed.
This opinion removes one Of the most
effective means for collecting old water
rentals and il seems to open the way
for great abuse Of privilege. However,
there is the recourse of suit to re-
cover cost Of water furnished if any
consumers are SO mean as to refuse pay
ment of honest debts.

Something Unusual

Owing to circu m

have no control, we are
without clerks today TO
serve our customers.
However, our store is
open as usual, our goods
are all marked in plain

our customers to wait up
on themselves if we are
too busy to attend TO
them.

"BoY IN BLUE'' CALLED
silas "A. Campbell, Veteran Of Great
Civil Strife, and Pioneer Resident,
Passes Away.

IN Extra last Monday afternoon at
two thirty.

ed in his coun;ry's service at the
age of sixteen.
He came to Audubon County in

Maud O'daker of Extra, Miss Min-

Exposure during the hard days of
the War left his body in a frail
state. anG for number of years
he had suffered but the end came
very suddenly. Only couple of
days was he sick enough to take
to his bed; and although every
thing possible was done to stay the
swift approach of Death, another
Grand Army veteran was mustered
into the great beyond.
All the children with the excep-
tion of the sons in Canada were
present to pay their last respects to
a kind and loving father.
