CITY WAFER MAINS
 MAY Bt EXTENDED

Considerable extensions of water mains in the west and southwest DOT tions of the city are being planned and will probably be installed in the near future. Some weeks ago, when several petitions for extensions were being considered, the council commit tee on light and water plants made a proposition that mains would be ex- tended and fire hydrants installed on street corners where consumers would guarantee to make taps averaging one to every 150 feet of extended mains and use water for period of one year. Those who are working on the proposition said today that sufficient number of taps would be secured to extend the mains from the corner of Mitchell and Prince streets along Prince street to Donaghey avenue and south on Donaghey avenue to connect with the main at College avenue. An other extension which will apparently meet with the conditions stipulated by the committee will be one extending south from College avenue along Mitchell street and thence west to Donaghey avenue. These two exten- sions will call for approximately one mile of new pipe.

Prices Of paper, ink, type metal an,
everything else used in the publishing
business are jumping up at a terrible
rate, and in many cases it is impossi,
bic to secure a supply Of materials al
all, even at exorbitant figures. The
papers of the country are trying to
get congress to investigate" the mat
ter, with view of getting some relief.
Such investigations" are of no value
unless possibly for political purposes.
there is an increasing shortage of
materials of nearly all kinds as a re-
suit Of the war, and we must expect
this condition to grow worse as long
as the war continues. Many news
papers are already threatened with
the necessity of reducing size or sus-
lending altogether.

three weeks old, though no i'll effects
were ever reported from those who
have eaten meat from extremely

to have love Of humanity without mere
sentimentalty, to have meekness with

PAIR.

In days of divorces
IT'S pleasant to see
A pair so well mated
In every degree.
Though great is his kindness
That matter is joint;
It's also admitted
She lacks not for point.
Though he is a cut up
And often plays hob
With grim perseverance
She sticks to the job
We constantly find her
On everyone's lips,
But he only gets there
BY terrible slips.
So trumpet their praises
From Gath to New York;
That couple devoted,
The knife and the fork.

J The murder of Harry Stokes, attor-
ney for the taxpayers in their suit
against the till-tappers up in Nash
vile, has aroused a feeling of bitter
7 resentment all over the state. Stokes
may have been of an oyerbearing,
domineering nature, he may have been
aggressive and determined in his
methods, he may even have been harsh
and at times insulting in his language;
but al Of this could not have given ex-
euse for numbering him. From the
published accounts of the killing it
appears that his enemy came upon
him unawares and deliberately shot
him to death without giving him a
dogs chance. His assailant may have
shown the characteristics of a perfect
gentleman up to the time of commit
ting this act, but his manner here,
Judging from press reports, was of
a cowardly nature and wholly unwor-
thy of man of his culture and train
ing. One of the most astonishing
things connected with the killing is
the great consideration shown the do
er of this horrible deed by the leading
citizens of Nashville. The trend of |
the whole matter to date is enough to
make the "Athens of the South"
hang her head in shamee.
