CONCRETE WATER TANK
Superior in All Respects to Any
Other Receptacle.
They Are Not Difficult of Construction,
Easy to Clean, and Do Not Rot
or Rust-carefuIIy Proper.
ton Materials.

Concrete tanks, If properly built,
are superior in all respects to any
other kind of a tank for storing water.
They are easy to clean, and do not
rot or rust. The concrete mixture
should be in proportions one part &C.
ment to one and half parts clean but
rather fine sand, to three parts
screened gravel or broken stone.
A tank, in order to withstand water
pressure and not leak is best built by
laying the concrete without stopping.
Even then there are other essential
things, which, If disregarded, will pro-
duce q leaky tank. The concrete must
be mixed so wet that it will flow over
and around the metal re-enforcements
and against the forms. The materials
for the concrete must be very carefully
proportional and the stones small
enough to pass q three-fourths-inch-
mesh screen. A concrete made by
using very clean screened gravel makes
denser concrete than broken stone,
it flows into place better, and is not
so apt to have voids and stone pockets
which let the water through.
Square tanks do not stand water
pressure so well as round, because
the sides tend to bulge, but they are
all right if not more than four feet
deep and eight feet square.
Sometimes tanks are, constructed by
filling one or two sections of forms
each day, letting it set overnight and
continuing the next day. This is a
bad practice, because it is readily seen
that joint is formed on the surface

"What letter?'
ut was from Bert Overton, asking
you to have supper with him tonight"
Suddenly Mrs. Jack burst into peals
Of laughter, her husband watching her
with amazement. Finally she checked
herself.
"You foolish man." she said. Did
you think Bert Overton wrote that
letter?'
"Think!" Her laughter ansered
him. Cant | read"
Listen, dear" She placed her hand
on his arm. 'That letter is from Ru-
berta Spencer, college friend Of
mine. We always called her Bert,
and I haven't seen her for years, be-
cause as soon as she graduated she
went to Chicago?'
"Oh!" Mr.. Jack smiled rather
shamefacedly. 'I'm sorry, dear" he
placed his hand over hers. IF you
don't mind, We'll get Annie to bring
in the supper again. I didn't eat very
much a while ago."
She smiled into his eyes.
"Of course" she answered. "It will

SUPPER FOR Two
BY EARL SILvERS.

For quite a time before she became
engaged to Jack Abbott, Olive Akin
son had displayed cordial liking for
Bert Overton. But after she had given
her word to Jack, Bert had gradually
been forgotten, until, shortly after her
marriage, his name was little more
than a memory. But Jack Abbott
nursed deep resentment toward the
man he had defeated in the race for
Olives hand.
II never liked him and I never
will" he said. II hope that we shall
never see him again"
"There is really no need to worry"
Mrs. Jack answered, placidly. Bert
has gone into business in Chicago and
doesn't expect to come East for
years."
After that the other mans name
was not mentioned in the Abbott
household. Mr.. and Mrs. Jack lived
in blissful peace.
But one afternoon in early summer
three o'clock. He had hoped to find
Olive ready and willing for set or
two of tennis before supper, but he
was doomed to disappointment. No
Olive awaited him.
did Mrs. Abbott say where she was
going?" he asked the maid.
"Yes, sir" the girl answered. "She's
gone to the city and will not be back
until this evening. She told me to
tell you that you had better eat supper
alone"
Mr.. Jack frowned. Tennis seemed
suddenly to have lost it's charm, so he
wandered into the library in. search
Of book with which to while away
the time. On the open desk in the
corner he saw a letter addressed to
his wife. The handwriting looked I'M
familiar, and he absentmindedly
picked up the envelope. Moved by
sudden impulse, he slipped out the
single sheet of paper it contained and
glanced over it's contents.
Suddenly his eyes contracted, his
lips forming in q straight, thin line.
He read the letter carefully, from be-
ginning to end, an expression of Won
der on his clean-cut face.
"Dear Olive" he read, II shall be in
New York Wednesday for a days WIS.,
it. Then I must hurry back to Chi
cago. But before I go, simply must
see you. Will you meet me at Man.
ley's at four o'clock? We can have
little supper for two and talk over old
times. Hurriedly yours, Bert"
For a long time Mr.. Jack Abbott
gazed at the writing before him. 1t
seemed hard to believe that his wife
would disregard his wishes; would ac-
cept an invitation from a man whom
she knew he did not approve of. But
she had done it. The letter and her
absence were conclusive evidence.
Mr.. Jack neither read nor played
that afternoon. He walked from the
library to the porch and into the IL
brary again.
When Mrs. Jack reached home, he
had worked himself into an unusual
state of mind. But he resolved to be-
calm.
Hello, dear" There was not the
slightest hint of guilt in Mrs. Jacks
big blue eyes. I'm sorry I couldn't

TEAMS SUFFER FROM THIRST
for Live Stock-Five Times Is
Better Plan.

When you want q drink of water,
probably your team wants one, too.
Three times a day is not enough to
water live stock. They should have,
especially in hot weather, an opportu-
nifty of drinking at least five times
daily-before every meal and at inter-
walls of two and half to three hours
apart between meals.
The animal that works in hot wealth
er on a five or six-hour stretch with
out water suffers intensely from thirst.
Frequent watering prevents water col
ic and other i'll effects.
Never allow the animal to drink
when very hot. Always force him I'M
der such conditions TO drink little at
q time until satisfied.

half of President Wilson has followed

islation," Mr.. Baker declared, toward the
end OF his address. 1T has procured the
enactment OF laws more wholesome and
beneficial than perhaps can be credited
in the aggregate to the administrations
which have interviewed since the Civil
War. 1t is inspired by a philosophy
which is an expression of the longing OF
mankind in this day and generation.
1t has refused to allow itself TO be turned
aside by foreign violence from the ac-
complishment Of its great program.
The administration has kept the
peace. 1t has done unto Mexico as we
would be done by and has infused the
spirit of declaration of independence and
OF the golden rule into its foreign re-
lations with the European belligerents
and placed this country in a position
from which, when the end of the great
European struggle comes, the moral fore.
es of the United States can be exercised
in the interests of justice and humanity.
During his discussion of the European
policies, Mr.. Baker said
There are those who hint, but dare
not say, that ii they had been in the
places of responsibility they would
have involved us in that maelstrom.
They indulge in cheap form of elo- |
quence about what they would have
done, and affect to believe that in some !
obsurcc way we are hurt in our self I

is thus engaged while we are preserv-

der civil service regulations. Spurious
excuses were made. They deceived no
one. Every one of those clauses designed
to make inapplicable the merit system

spoils.
