CONDITION
Of WATER has
IMPROVED
SILT FROM STAND PIPE REMOVED
AND INTAKE PIPE RAISED.
WHEN MAINS ARE ALL FLUSH
ED WATER WILL BE GOOD.

There is a noticeable change for
the better in the quality of the city
water since commissioner Hunt de-
cided to try the experiment of empty
ing and cleaning the stand pipe and
flushing the mains.
The stand pipe was opened and a
large mass of silt removed that had
been accommodating for the past six
teen months. when the pipe was pump
ed full again. the result was imme-
diately noticeable. Now Mr.. Hunt
states. as soon as the mains can all
be thorougly flushed, he believes that
he has the water question solved.
The water at the lake shows no
such conditions as it did when it ar
rived in the city 1t has settled and
Is clear and tasteless. The intaEe pipe
has been raised from the bottom to
within five feet of the surface of the
water and this is believed will have
still better effect on the water supply.
The citizens will be glad of this re-
lief as the water furnished for the
past six weeks has been anything but
satisfactory.

beyond Chelm in soLh Poland,
the situation before War. proper
remained unchanged and obscure.
Few additional details have reach,
ed London concerning the plans for
the abandonment of the city, but
apparently the time has not arrived
for the Russians to relinquish their
precarious hold on the capital or at
least no word of its evacuation has
come to London.
lvangorod, southeast of Warsaw,
heretofore enormously reported in
vested, is now nearing that state in
fact, according to the Berlin an
nouncement, but from Ivangorod
eastward the Cb@jm and beyond the
Russians who had to abandon the rail
way are fighting most desperately in
an endeayor to hold UPHELD Marshal
Won Mackensen's advance northward
into Poland, a movement which SER
iously threatens the Russian center
retiring from Warsaw.
The western thoater has furnished
nothing to alter the situation and it
remained for the British navy to fur
nish an unexpected contribution to
Mondays news w.th the sinking of
German destroyer off the German
coast by a submarine and a strange
assortment of performances by an,
other British undersea boat operating
in the Sea of Marmora.
The craft not only crept so close
to Constantinople as to launch tor
pedoes at lighters in the Golden Horn,
presumably awaiting munitions from
the arsenal, but with its guns bonn
barded and for time tied up the rail
way skirting the Asiatic coast, de-
laying a troop train and causing hav-
oc among the ammunition stores. In
addition, the submarine considerably
damaged Turkish shipping and sank
one craft believed to have been a
gunbOat.
Pronouncements in the Duma at
Petrograd and by the Russian ambas-
sador at London indicate that Russia
and England are anxious to brand as
unfounded the recurrent reports that
the Russian people are disgruntled !
at the showing Great Britain and !
France have made in the west, which !
might create a situation unfavoiable |
to the continued unity of the allies. |
No hint Of separate peace or OF |
dissatisfaction with England's policy |
comes from any authoritative source !
and Count Beckendorf made it plain |
that while there may have been some |
sentimental popular feeling in his |
country for a diversion in the west |
to relieve the strain in Russia, there |

TO ENFORCE HOTEL LAW
Statute Lays Down Certain Require
ments That Must Be Met.

Oklahoma City Aug. 2.-It has been
announced by Or. j. w. Duke. state
health officer that his inspectors will
this week begin the enforcement of
the law that regulates hotels and
rooming houses. In addition to eX-
amining the sanitation and ventilation
of such places, the inspectors will
assist in prosecutions of persons who
ignore the provisions of the law that
hotels must be such as meet the def.
milton set forth il the law. The chief
distinction is that there must be
dining rooms or cafes in hotels. With
out these the hotels become simply
rooming houses, and it will be
misdemeanor to place hotel signs
over their doors.
The law also gees into the defni-
ton of an apartment house. 1t was
enacted at the rrhest o, hotel own
ers in this and other cities where
there are many alleged hotels that
do not meet the definition.

LATE RAINS AN AID
TO BIG PEACH CROP

Guthrie, Okla. Aug. 2.-The fruit
growers of Logan county are greatly
rejoicing over tn recent good rains.
The moisture was badly needed to
finish out the peaches now rapidly
ripening. They declare that now the
sunshine will bring out the finest col
oring and that the peach will be the
most perfect in size, flavor and tint
they have ever grown.
The peaches on the very sandy soil
are harvested the last of the pres
ent week, but the heavy shipments
will not begin in Logan county until
next week. The city is full of buy
ers and brokers, all anxious to get
a share of the fine crop in sight.
They report rather crowded markets
at present, but the prospects are that
this condition viii have been largely
overcome before the Logan county
crop is started fer market.

HONOR SYSTEM
IN CONVICT
ROAD WORK
WARDEN DICK SAYS GANGS CAN
BE SENT OUT WITH MINIMUM
OF GUARDS AND EXPENSE
NO MANACLES.

Oklahoma City Aug. 2.-The plan
of Oklahoma, as indicated in the new
state highway law, 70 build state roads
by employing state prisoners in such
labor is to be coupled with the trusty
system for state convicts as devel.
oped by Warden r w. Dick of the
McAlester prison 1t is the belief of
Mr.. Dick that many gangs of pris-
oners may be sent to work on the
state roads in the various counties
with minimum of guards and with.
out prison cars for their confinement.
There is likely 20 be seen camps of
tents with no armed guards all along
the state roads when the highway
law shall become fully operative.
The honor system in the Oklahoma
penitentiary has developed to that
point where this ort of thing is not
only possible, out is being accom-
plished all the time. There will be
neither cells nor manacles in the road
camps, the only punishment for an
unruly prisoner probably to be re-
turned to the walls.
Oklahoma authorities have been
looking at the accomplishments of
other states in building roads by the
effort Of prisoners under the honor
system. The record that has been
made by Montana is one of the note
worthy instances that has come to
their attention. In that state 119 miles
of road were built in 1914 by the
state prisoners. 1t was estimated
that the prison labor is worth So a
day per capita of prisoners to the
state in this employment. Contrasted
to this, the total cost to the state
for this labor Is the maintenance of
the prisoners, which amounts to 6Oc
a day each.

EVEN BET THAT WE
WILL ENTER THE WAR

New York, Aug. 2.-The betting in
London is even money that the United
States will be in the war in five
weeks. Passengers arriving here to-
day on the Adriatic, of the White
Star Line, declared that when they
left London to embark on the vessel,
which sailed from Liverpool on July
21, many bets were being laid at the
hotels and clubs on the possibility of
the United States entering the CON
flict
Opinion seemed about evenly di.
vided, they declared, but so sure were
those who thought this country would
become embroled that they asked
no odds as long rs the limit was set
for six weeks at the longest.

wager of 1000 pounds C$5,OOO),
was laid the day before the Adriatic
sailed, one passenger asserted.

BANKS HAVE A THREE-FOLD DUTY.

Bank stock in Mks nsippi has ceased to be an asset and has
become a liability ."-Sunhower Tocsin.
With the carcasses of many banking institutions lying along the
shores of the business communities of the state, with the prosecution
of the officers and the directors of a number OF demsed banks IN
different partso of the state, it is~4ittle wonder that those who are
honestly trying to serve the public by a wise direction OF bank al
fairs should be weighted with cares and be at least slightly nervous
over Jul present economic conditions. Bank officers have a three
fold duty-to the public, to depostors and to the stockholders ana
it behooves them to be cautious and what some are at times apt to
say, "exacting."
If we we're to publish all the "advice" that is being sent us gratis
at the present time for the farmers. we would fill our paper and nave
no room in it to advise them ourselves. 1t has seemed to US at
times that the farmers are rather gorged on advice"
There never was a time in the history of our country that the
individual citizen needed to give more serious thought to his home
life and individual affairs.
The surest way to secure justice tor yourself IS TO make certain
that you give it to others.
1t is not what somebody has done or is doing but what is right
for me to do.
Much Of luck is obtained bv pluckinp.
