PURE CITY WATER

On the first of each month Mayor
Tate draws into sterilIzed bottle
furnished by the State Laboratory
of Hygiene at Raleigh, sample of
our city water which is sent in for
analysis.
The report on the water is received
within a few days after sample has
been sent and it is a great pleasure
to state that in every instance, II e
analysis shows our water. to be
absolutely pure and Of the highest
possible quality, regarding the vari-
Gus properties contained in the
water. This report is turned over
to DR.. Stanton, the City Health
Physician each month, where it
may be examined by the other
physicians orany other citizens of
the city interested in the matter.
The report received today is highly
satisfactorily in every respect, and

reports.

the absolutely pure and healthful
qualities of our city Water About
the greatest asset any community
can boast of is its healthful eondi-
tons, and water plays a greater
part in this respect than anything
else.
In this connection, it might be of
interest to state that there is con-
slant demand by the people of High
Point for city water connections.
One force of " orkmen is kept en-
ployed daily on this work, and there
is hardly day in the week that an
application is not made for city
water connections at residences
located in almost every section of
the city, in some cases more than a
block away from any water line.
The city is taking care of these
distant locations by laying small ser
vice pipes, which have proven
highly satisfactory in every case,
and which has added greatly t. the
large number of consumers Of city
water. Tor the small expense of
so cents per month, no family in
the city, no matter how small, can
afford to run the risk of drinking
we'll water when this pure city
water can be had. One of the strong
talking points in favor of our city
water is that every physician IN
High Point, probably without excep-
ton, recommends its use and in
some instances have absolutely IN
sisted upon their patients using this
water in preference to any ether.

We trust the report is not true in
regard to President Wilson saying
he would pay no atten ion to recon-
mendations from Congressman and
others. 1t is preposterous to as
sumo that a president of the United
States knows the most available
men for postmasters, etc. when the
Congressman from the various dist
riots are on the ground and should
know who is the best man for the
place. This statement of President
Wilson, if it is true, is going tia little
too far. We don't mind the Presi,
dent being odd and doing things to
attract attention but there should be
a good reason for it.

A suggestion-would be a good
idea to reconstruct some Of the old
streets before branching out into
new ones. East Washington Street,
one of the main thoroughfares is
simply terrible in bad weather and
North and South Main streets at
different places have great holes
and washouts. Taking care of what
we have already got is essential to
keep from losing the money already
spent.

JU-JITSU FOR WOMEN

In many ways ju-jitsu, the Japanese

admirable in that it strengthens and

SUPPORTING AGRICULTURAL EDU-
CATION

AS agriculture either indirectly or
directly is a pursuit engaged in by
nearly all the people of Georgia, it is
taken for granted that the agricultural
schools of the state should be support
ed and supported well in order that
they may carry out their important
work. Yet the complaint is made from
the State College Of Agriculture that
it is with difficulty that this state III
stitution secures the funds necessary
for its constant growth.
If there is one institution in the
state which through the various
branches in which it contributes to the
public welfare by promoting the inte!
ests of the farmer, deserves the grear-
est and most harmonious support that
can be given to it this institution is
the State Agricultural college. In the
plea for appropriations made by Dean
Soule, he says that the college is ask
ing only for funds to take care of the
growing needs-needs that are urgent
and imperative. In speaking of the
work of the college and what is needed
iE the way of money to sustain ii
Dean Soule writes:
Nothing is to be asked for except
what, in the careful judgment of the
trustees, is absolutely required .
take care of the rapidly-growing stu
dent body. When one considers that
the attendance each year for the past
five years has been jumping from 80 to
81 per cent, it can be seen what an
alarming situation is being confronted
when the $50 students enrolled the
present collegiate year already over
tax the force, room, and equipment. o.
one wants to see the state meet
this demand. The Georgia farmer
needs agricultural education, he nov
realizes it, and he wants it. Is it not
the duty of the state to furnish it, just
as it has been furnishing industrial
and professional education for other
classes? Of course the efforts of the
college should be kept up in the ex-
tension and demonstration work among
the farmers, the corn clubs, the girls
clubs, the free agricultural plate serv-
ice, farmers Institutes, and all sucn
work which the College is directing.

A CITY OF HIGH PRICES
providence Journal,)

" TUNlucilCc JOul nal
The repeated assertions of local
dealers that the cost of food products
in Providence is very reasonable, ana
that complaints Of high prices are not
justified, are squarely contradicted py
the recently issued bulletin of the
United States Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics. The Government investigators
find that the dealers who charge the
highest prices are in Providence and
Boston. Sirloin steak which sells for
81 cents in Dallas, Texas, brings the
exorbitant price of 40 cents in ProJ!-
dence No one believes that this differ
ence is caused by freight tariffs. The
cheaper cuts of beef are also ridicu!
ously high in Providence; round steak
sells for 33 cents here, while the Dali
las ousekeeper pays 10 cents for the
same thing. OF course the local trades
men are expected to repeat their fam
iliar stories about losing money or do
ing business at cost just to oblige their
friends. But the fact remains that for
twenty-five years local prices have
been outrageously high, and the Gov
eminent report simply confirms what
Providence consumers have said about
living expenses. There should be some
way of relieving Providence of its I'M
enviable notoriety as a place in which
IA dollar does not buy one hundred
cents worth OF foodstuffs.
