Plenty Of Water Now.

The past week has relieved the
water situation and engineer Lafe
Mitchell has no, trouble in supplying
everybody with water and pumps
the big stand pipe is full every day.
The water supply in many of the
cities and towns Of southern Iowa is
very low and consumers have been
cut off, but our well holds out and

new air pressure pump which has
been purchased is installed, it will
only take few hours of pumping
each day to supply all demands fol
