WATER SUPPLY FOR
THE COUNTRY HOME
Necessity Of a Good Water Supply
And Points To Be Considered In
Selecting The Source.
T. H. TALIAFERRO,
MARYLAND Agricultural College.

T. H. TALIAFERRO,
Maryland Agricultural College.
In view of the fact that pure wa
ter in abundance is d necessity in the
country home, it is of interest to con,
slider in a general way the sources of
water supply and the methods of rem
dering it available for use.
A plentiful supply Of pure water
adds, not only to the comfort Of the
home, but to the health Of the mem
bers of the family 1t tends to make
the home more attractive, not only to
the adults. but to the children. In so
far as 1t accomplishes this fact, it has
a marked tendency in keeping the
young people in the country, since, in
many instances, they go to the city
to escape what they term the discom-
forts of country life.
Sources OF Supply.
Water may be obtained from
streams, lakes, ponds, springs, and
wells -watsG-is-eetIeet
the roofs of buildings. Health de.
mands that water for home use must
be free from hurtful germs. There
fore, it should be tested at intervals
to determine its condition as to purity.
Streams, lakes and ponds are formed
by springs and the drainage from the
surrounding country. When the water
supply is obtained from such a source.
this watershed should be carefully ex-
inc n
ton exists.
A spring should be cleaned out and
surface water drained away from it,
unless it is definitely known that such
water seepS through sufficient depth
of soil to filter out any impurities.
Hog pens and privies should never be
placed above spring.
Rain water should never be stored
until after sufficient rain has fallen
to cleanse thoroughly the roofs and
cutters.
Locating A Well.
A we'll, particularly a shallow well,
should be constructed, if possible, on
ground higher than the house site,
barnyard, cesspool, etc, so that the
drainage would be away from it. 1t is,
however, seldom possible to select
such position for the well, but it is
possible to locate the well from forty
to fifty yards from any source of pollu-
ton whatsoever; and considerations
of health demand that it should be
done At this distance, any drainage
water seeping through the soil should
be sufficiently filtered before reaching
the well. This is not, however, always
true, even at this distance.
The necessity for thorough filtration
of the surface water before it reaches
the source Of water supply is a strong
argument IN favor Of using deep wells
in preference to shallow ones. Fur
Their, the water from a deep well is
usually cooler and more palatable.

AFFECTING THE COUNTY.

With the introduction of the
local option bill for Prince Geor-
ge's county by delegate R. Lee
Van Horn, the fight between the
vets" and "drys" in the coun-
ty has been launched, and the
indications point to a lively con-
test. Delegate Van Horns bill
has the endorsement of the
Citizens Temperance Union of
Prince Georges county, DR..
Clarence J. Owens of Riverdale
managing director Of the South
ern Commercial Congress and
president of the Prince Georges
bank, president; Frank M.
Stephen, of Riverdale vice-presi-
dent and Allen w. Mallory, of
Lanham, secretary-treasurer.
There is a district chairman in
each of the nineteen election of
districts of the county, and these
chairman have a working corps.
In all over 100 representative
citizens from every section of
the county are working in har-
mony for the passage of the Van
Horn bill. The bill provides
that all of the qualified voters in
each district are to have the
privilege of voting on the pro-
position. If the vote is favor
able, the bill provides that in
toxicating liquors shall not be
sold in Prince Georges county
after May l, 1917. The question
is to be decided at the general
election for president and con-
gress in November of this year.
The bill provides heavy penal
ty for the first violation, and for
the second offense a heavy fine
and imprisonment. About fifty
members of the temperance
union went to Annapolis the day
the bill was introduced. The
Van Horn bill has the support,
it is understood, of delegates Van
Horn, Blandford and Metzerott,
who were supported by the tenn
perance union in the election last
fall, and Of delegate Fisher who
supposed had the support of
the "wets" Senator William F.
Holmead who has been regarded
in the past as opposed to local
option, will, it is understood, not
oppose the measure when it goes
over to the Senate. Several
years ago a vote was taken on
the proposition as to whether or
not intoxicating liquors should
be sold in the county, but in this
election only the voters in the
districts where liquor was sold
were allowed to vote. The Van
Horn bill provides that the vot-
ers in every district shall have
the privilege of voting. -

 to Back Up.

Little Rock, Jan. 27.--With the Ar kansas river rising rapidly, as the re- suit of heavy rains yesterday and last night, and with the country around the mouth of the, river already flooded, one Of the worst floods in the history of the state is feared. as the Mississippi river is so swollen that the water from the Arkansas and White rivers is backing up in their channels.
 Back waters are threatening the town of Dumas. it is reported.
 A message tonight from Watson, Desha county, said that 300 persons, mostly negroes, have been driven from! their homes. Train service to Watson has been suspended and sup plies can be taken there only by boat.

New York. Jan. 27.-A family of Belgian refugees is happy today be- cause Mrs. George H. Gould went for walk.
 Mrs. Gould, who is the wife of a wealthy retired leather merchant, saw Harry de Rudder and his wife trying to earn a few pennies by playing a violin and cello in the street. She inquired and found they had a re- markedly pretty little girl, Madeline, six years old.
 Mrs. Gould had the little family to dinner and learned their story. De Rudder, who is 26 years old and a skillful musician. played in the Ant werp opera house. He was prosper ous and comfortabl with his wife and little girl. But the war drove him from Belgium. With money raised at benefit in Paris he bought his wife cello and set out for America.

RISES SEVEN FEET. PiyerA at Fort Smith Seven Feet Above Flood Stage.

Fort Smith, Jan. 27.-At o'clock tonight, the Arkansas river at this point was seven feet above the flood stage.
 Since o'clock last night the river has rissn seven feet.
 According to the weather bureau, the crest will pass during the night, although 30 feet is the highest point predicted. By tomorrow it is expect ed the river will begin tc fall.
 The rise at this point is due en- tirely to local rains. During last night 2.6S inches rain fell in Fort Saith.
 Train service was partly restored late today on the big trunk lines. The Iron Mountain and Kansas City Southern, which suffered severely in Oklahoma. had their lines cleared be- fore nightfall, while the Frisco which lest 80 feet track at walker, in Craw- ford county expects to be in op3ra- ton by morning.

JONESBORO FIVE C0NQUERS HOT
 SPRINGS, 36.27
Winners Play Two Games Here Today with Pine
 Bluff High lads.

"Jonesboro 36, Hot Springs 27. Rough game.''
 Such was the laconic message flashed from Hot Springs last night, to Tho Graphic, announcing the out come of the contest there it basket ball, between tho fives representing the high schools of the Towns men, toned
 Considerable interest in tho game was shown here. because Jonesboro comes to Pine Bluff this morrlng, to play this afternoon and tonight against the, Pine Bluff High squad. The afternoon game will srart5at 3:30 o'clock and the night confes- at 8 o'clock, and both games will be pull ed off at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium.
 The local squad is in fine fettle, and believe it has an even break with the Jonesboro outfit, despite the fact the Northeast Arkansas boys are shouting aloud that they are headed for the state championship. The Pine Bluff squad is a stronger az gregation than any that has reple- sented this city in several years. and Coach Bassett and Physical Director von Harten believe the boys will make it interesting for the Jonesboro five, at the very least .
 There will be seats a-plenty at the Y building for the spectators. at the games today, it is announced, espe' cially as large bleachers has been erected. This will be the first op- portunity afforded local fans to see the Pinne Bluff boys in basketball game this season, and on this account, especially because Jonesboro IS the opponent, big attendance is eX- pected at each game.
