Our Water Consumption

AS | have had so many in
quiries the last few days in re.
CARDS our reservoir and water
supply etc, | take this method
of answering same questions.
What is the capacity of reser-
voir? Ans, about 10000 gals.
What is the daily average con.
sumption and how much time
is required to pump same?
During last year the daily
average water pumped as regis
tered at pump station was
245,5N gallons, and as near as
can be figured, about ten hours
out of every "a was required to
pump this water.
What is the daily average per
connection? About 41O gallons
and assuming there are S per-
sons in each family this would
mean about 80 gallons per day
per capita. And from the rec
ords in my possession of the
consumption of other cities,
Mo. Valley is using about three
times as much water as it
should in other words 7 of the
water consumed is being wasted
If the consumers and tax pay
ers will only stop to consider
this they will see the time is
almost at hand when extra
pumping will be necessary to
supply the demand, as it is TAX
ing on an average of 10 hours
per day at the present time. So
if the people persist in wasting
water which will necessitate an
extra man at the pump station,
more fuel, more repairs and
more equipment, etc, and what
does this all mean? 1t simply
means a higher water rent as
an extra amount of water can
not be pumped without an ex.
ira cost. So / will put this
question to those who are vast
ing water, which do you prefer,
to continue as you are and
eventually raise the water rent
not only for yourself but also
for those who are careful with
the use of water, or will you cut
out this waste and still main
tain our present low rates? 1t
is up to you.
Every year | find people u.s.
ing water contrary to the city
ordinances and have made an
effort to correct this, but ex-
pect to make a special effort
this summer, so those who do
not want to pay a heavy fine as
is provided by ordinance, bet
ter call and settle at once.
Let's all work together, every
body pay his just due s and keep
the expense of one of the ne
cessities of life within reach of
all. You can help:by reporting
your neighbor who is wasting
water or using water without a
permit, and | will do the rest.
Yours for the tax payers in
terest.

Lame Back

Lame back is usually due to
rheumatism of the muscles of
the back. Hard working peo.
pie are most likely to suffer
from it. Relief may be had by
massaging the back with Cham
berlain's Liniment two or three
times a day. Try 1t. Obtain

The new Air Dome opened
Saturday night and enjoyed
one of the largest crowds ever
attending a like place of amuse-
ment in this city. Over eight
hundred paid admissions were
registered at the door and
standing room was at a pre-
MUM. Annette Kellt rman in
"Neptune's Daughter" was the
attraction and from the favor
able comments heard after the
performance it surely gave sat
isfaction to the large audience.
The Airdome promises to be
one of the most popular places
in this part of the state this
summer and we predict an un-
usual success for the promo
ters.

Some Forms of
Rheumatism Durable

Rheumatism is a disease
characterized by pains in the
joints and in the muscles. The
most common forms are: Acute
and Chronic Rheumatism,
Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic
Rheumatism and Lumbago.
All of these types can be help
ed absolutely by applying some
good liniment that penetrates.
An application of Sloan's Lini-
ment two or three times a day
to the affected part will give
instant relief. Sloab's Lini-
ment is good for pain, and espe-
cially Rheumatic Pain, because
it penetrates to the seat Of the
trouble, soothes the afflicted
part and draws the pain.
"Sloan's Liniment is all medi-
cine" Get a 25c bottle now.
Keep it handy in case of emer-
gency. m27

Logan is to have a circus
next Friday which will attract
people there from all over this
part of the country. This city
cannot enjoy that privilege be-
cause some one Of the city coun-
ellis way back in the dark ages,
got sore at a circus at some
time and boosted the license so
high that it would break 9 cis
Gus up to come here. We are
black listed by all circuses
while other towns are getting
all the advertising out of a cir
Gus, also all the fun, and we
are sitting idly by with our
hands folded and letting them
get away with the goods. We
believe a circus is a good thing
for a community once in awhi e
and are strongly in fsyor of
letting down the bars a little
so we can get a good circus this
summer. What do you think?
