WATER EXPENSES
Continued From First Page.


Commissioner Bowman said, account for
the water department g general receipts
being slightly less than those of the
previous year when they approximated
more than $212,000. Last year they
ran to something over 100000.
The competitive bidding system the
Commissioner points to as one of the
reasons for the department expenses be-
ing less than during the previous year.
General reductions in the prices of wa
ter pipe and supplies were obtained
through this method of buying. Be-
sides the cost of laying water pipe was
reduced anywhere from 13 to "a cents
foot.
These and other economic steps
brought the total expenses of the year
down to 1925, 1929, compared with
$15S,608.99 paid out during the pre-
vious twelve months. 1t may also be
observed from the report that no fewer
than 1924, ,4S5, 800 gallons of water
were pumped and filtered during 1914,

The father attempts to cut into so
ciety with flourish, but he comes out
much faster than he goes in. His fields
of conquest are the lobby and ball room
of fashionable hotel, where he at
tempts to charm pretty woman, but
in SO doing neglects to ascertain wheth-
er she has husband or not. Accord
ingly when the lady offers to loan him
pair of trousers for the ball, he does
not know they are her husband 8 until
the latter discovers him and grows
peeved at another man wearing his
trousers.
This leads to a situation in which
Reuben loses his trousers and gets into
the ball room minus his dignity. He
contrives to get out of this safely and
the whole affair might have blown over
had he not unknowingly gotten back

More than the usual number of
jurymen have been summoned
from the west end of the county.
for circuit court at Gettysburg
this week. Tom Caywood ard
Roy Gates went over together
Tuesday morning, followed by c. b.
Rosa and Carl Westpha!.
Arthur Comeau was down after
the new teacher for the Ripley
school, Miss Hanson, Tuesday:
but at last accounts. school hadn't
begun yet, all because of the deep
snow. The schoolhOuse is located
about four miles from Arthlr's
residence. Tuesday he hitched up
a fonrhorse team to a homemade
wagon scraper to try to make a
road to the schoolhoase for the
teacher TO travel over. After a
lot of bard work, and all four
horses getting down a number of
times. he got ver about half Of
mile Of ground, he abandoned the
attempt. Consequently school will
not reopen till Monday.
Last Friday and Saturday we
had some snow again, not less than
four or five inches. Commencing
Friday morning, it showed stead
lily for twentyfour hours, making
the third snowfall or snowstorm in
q period of four weeks. Tho It
was not a blizzard, the fall of snow
was again sufficient to knock out a
number of the mailcarriers, Forest
City not getting any mail for a
period Of fortyeight hours.
