The town pump and well went on a
strike the first of the week and there
has been no water for irrigation for
several days. The pump was started
again Thursday morning but is not
throwing near the amount of water il
did.
The putting down of another well
would seem to be wise precaution a.
gainst the danger of having the town
left at most anytime without the nee
essary amount Of water. OF course the
well at the stand pipe can furnish e
nough water for house use but none for
lawns and the lack Of water in a dry
hot time such as we have been having
would soon do great danger to the trees
and lawns Of the town.

They de say that Will Whitman is SO
careful of his Ford car that, when he
leaves it standing on the street, he re.
moves the spark plug for fear some
one might be tempted to steal JOY
ride. Say; did you see viii cranking
his car the other day? He was in a
hurry to start to the country and the
way he did make that crank roll around
was caution and the way he did sweat
was a fright. After the boys had en-
ioyed the sport for some time, it was
suggested that the engine would be
much-more likely to start If he would
replace the spark plug. Better not say
anything to Will about the spark plug.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug. 30
Harry Thaw will be again produced
in court here Tuesday on a writ OF

Boudreau asked the writ on the
ground that as he was Thaw's original

The action was an eleventh hour
move to defeat Thaw's attorneys in
an attempt to keep him safe in jail.
Attorney Jerome worked out this

not know such writ was to be asked
for until a rumor of it was tele-
graphed from Montreal. His leading
counsel chartered special train for

Ing up to the Importance OF the new
