One of the greatest differences be-
tween the country and the city home
is the water supply. The farmer, for
few dollars expense, may secure
water under pressure that will give
hot and cold water at the sink, in the
laundry, in the bathroom and wherev-
er needed, and have as good modern
sanitary arrangements as the best
city home &ffords. No one factor will
go farther in rural uplift than such
water supply.

An American archaeologist is said
to have solved the riddle of the sphinx
by boring into its head and removing
the sand. Many sphinx would be
one no longer after the head was sub

Hardy Not Likely
To Win Appointment
Gainesville Editors Fight on Wilson
Causes Opposition to His Post
office Aspirations.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April IL
Because of the bitter fight against the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson
waged in the paper of Albert S Har-
dy, at Gainesville, Ga, it is regarded
here to-day extremely unlikely that
the Gainesville editor will have any
chance of appointment to the post
mastership he has been seeking as
sidiously for some time. Colonel
Edward T. Brown, first cousin Of
Mrs. Wilson, has conducted the OPP
position to Hardy's appointment.
This situation is said not to in
crease the chances for the reappoint-
ment of Mrs. Helen Longstreet, how
ever. Those in touch with ten satua-
ton are confident that neither will be
chosen.
Other postoffices in Georgia where
appointments are hanging fire are al
Rome and at Dublin. Mrs. Wilson
was born at Rome and is known TO
desire the selection of ]. P. Bowie, an
old family friend 1t is believed that
Congressman Gordon Lee will be
saved the necessity of making rec
ommendation on this account.
Congressman Dudley H. Hughes, of
the Twelfth district, has certified to
the postoffice department the name
of Vivian Stanley for the office at
Dublin. but as in the case of Hardy,
who was certified by Congressman
Bell it is regarded as almost a GER
tainty that the Congressman's wishes
will be disregarded.
