OT1UMWA INSTITUTIONS ARE
ATTRACTING MORE SAVINGS
ACCOUNTS EACH DAY

Ottumwa people are saving their
money. The banks of the city have
never before carried on their books
greater amount of money than Is
now safely locked in the vaults of the
institutions. Since the publication OF
the last official statement of the Of
tumwa banks in November, 1912, to
February s, the date of making the
statements issued today, the banks OF
Ottumwa have enjoyed an increase In
deposits ranging from $4,000 to

The stability Of the Ottumwa banks
has been realized by the public and
the manner in which the bankers have
handled the finances of large institu-
lions in the past has convinced even
the most skeptical that there Is no
fear of losing even a penny by de-
posts in local institutions.
r The statements published in this
issue Of the Courier show the total in
crease in deposits from November e.,
1912, to February 5, 1913, to be $780,
79O.43.
The latest addition to Ottumwa
banks is the magnificent new build
ing of the South Ottumwa Savings
bank, corner Weller and Church
streets. The bank has just moved into
it's new quarters, and the officials take
a pardonable pride in showing their
patrons and friends the conveniences
of the new structure. d.

DEAN CURTISS TOLD IN WASH.
INGToN THAT HOG CHOLERA
is TO BE FOUGHT.

Ames, Feb. 11.--Although Secretary
James Wilson recently said that Iowa
and other states must work out their
own salvation as far as hog cholera
is concerned, it is probable that the
| United States department of agricul-
ture will show them how to do it..
! The department has under way plans
for locating experts in several states
| to demonstrate in limited territory
how the cholera may be eradicated
and kept out Iowa is one of the first
states in which the project will be
established.
Information to that effect was given
to Dean Chas. F. Curtiss Of Iowa state
college, at the time of his recent con-
ference with Secretary Wilson and DR..
A. H. Melvin, chief of the bureau OF
animal industry.
Il was told" said Dean Curtiss,
chat congress Is expected to make
appropriation for the bureau of ami
NAL industry to come into a number
of states to demonstrate how hog
cholera may be eradicated by the ser.
UNI method. Because Of its large hog
producing industry, Iowa will natural
ly be one of the first states chosen
for the demonstration. The bureau
experts will work in limited terri
tory, covering several counties. They
will locate there, encourage general
preventive measures and watch close
ly for signs Of the disease With its
first appearance in community they
will make their direct attack upon it
with serum and take every precau-
ton against the spread of the cpl
demic. BY these methods they expect
to keep their territory wholly free
from cholera losses. 49,.
'''The men who have made study of
hog cholera for the bureau of animal
industry are agreed that this way is
the only way of combating it success
fully. 1t must be eradicated at the
very beginning when it first appears,
before 1t has spread over a great terri
tory. When cholera once has a big
start and has covered large portion
of the state, it is practically impos-
sible to provide enough serum or to
employ enough competent men to fight
it satisfactorily" ....
There has been demand that the de-
partment of agriculture cooperate with
the states on large scale, but DR..
Melvin told Dean Curtiss that he did
not think the states were ready for
that. 1t is his position that the states
must first learn that the way to control
hog cholera Is to maintain a compel /
ent organization to detect the disease
as soon as it first appears in isolated
communities and then stamp it out in
It's very beginnings by the use of SER
UNI. That is why the department Is |
planning this demonstration work in |
Iowa and elsewhere.

NEW METHOD OF

Major Waterman Notified oy OePare'
ment Of Change In Manner OF
Meeting Post Expenses.

Des Moines, Feb. 11.-Major John
G. Waterman, quartermaster and pay
master at Fort Des Moines, announces
that he has received orders to put into
effect q new system of payment of all
government expenses connected with
the fort. The same change Is going
into effect throughout the army.
Checks will be the basis of the new
system, all salaries to men, pay for
horses, for stable expense and for all
supplies being made by special
United States paper, which can be
cashed at any bank. The previous
plan was for the paymaster to draw
money for a months use from the
treasury and deposit the same at a
local bank.

BY Him in Various Large
Cities in This Country
and Canada.

In order that Clarksburg may keep
abreast OF all progressive cities, Scot
land G. Highland. superintendent OF
the water works and sewerage plants,
made a careful examination of the
water works plants of Cleveland,
Detroit, Buffalo, and Toronto, Mon
treal, Quebec and Halifax, Can, and
he gives an interesting report of the
plants and systems of these cities:
%The development of the centrifugal
pump has been so rapid and it has SO
many advantages as water pump,
that its real worth is not generally
recognized. Improved impellers and
other important changes in design
haye revolutionized this type of pump
within last three years. The power
plant supplying water to the city Of
Toronto is almost entirely equipped
with electrically driven centrifugal
pumps, comprising four thirteen mil
lion gallon units which furnish fifty
two million gallons of water in TWEEN
ty-four hours, or about four-fifths of
the total daily consumption. The
floor space occupied by these four
units is less than the ground area
covered by the three plunger pumps
at the local plant, or about twice the
size of the average living room.
1T seems the consensus of opinion
among practical waterworks engi-
neers who have given the question
much study, that within a brief per-
iod, the excessive cost of maintain
ing numerous independent steam
power stations will result in their
replacement with electric current
furnished from a central point and
distributed to power plants through
out the community served. Electro
cally driven centrifugal pumps are in
evidence wherever there is intelli-
gent engineering supervision Of the
works.
THE latest design centrifugal has
fewer number of working parts
than any other type of pump. 1t
therefore has a less number of parts
to wear. less attendance is required,
cost for upkeep is less and 1t is
simpler and easier to take care of,
than any other style of pump. The
water board very wisely selected this
type of pump for both low and high
service, during the recent waterworks
improvements.
There is less liability of injuring
the water mains with centrifugal
than with plunger pump, when clos
ing gate valve or many hydrant
valves, Sudden back pressure with
a centrifugal causes water to merely
churn in the pump casing. Sudden
stoppage OF large quantity of dis
charge from the mains when a plung-
er pump is used causes rapid in
crease in the pressure OF the mains
with repeated jarring and frequently
ruptures them. The discharge OF the
centrifugal is continuous and there
is therefore no pulsations or water
hammer in the piping as in the case
Of plunger pumps.
In making comparison between
plunger pumps and centrifugal
pumps in waterworks installations,
the greater ground area required. the
more expensive housing. greater ex-
