MORE TROUBLE AT CITY WELL.
Vein Of Water Unfit for Use Struck at
Nevada,

Nevada, June 22-More troubles
have developed at the new city well
and at present the waterworks COM
mittee, the city engineer and the well
drivers are not exactly sure what they
are really up against.
The hole is down to a depth Of some
thing over 2,7OO feet, and this morning
a vein of water was struck which is
of greenish color and apparently
wholly unfit for use. The extent of
this vein or where the water really
comes from has not yet been deter
mined. The water will probably be
analysed and the location and source
of Undetermined.
Whether this water comes from, q
short layer of shale which might have
been struck or whether it is from
about twelve feet of sand which they
have been going through is not known.
In either event it is hoped that they
may be. able to case it out in some way
and save the well. Councilman Case
was asked regarding the situation this
afternoon and stated that as yet they
had not been able to make sufficient
investigation to make any statement
regarding the situation, but said that
they would have the water analysed
and have determined what the situa-
ton is. Itis hoped that they have not
struck an insurmountable difficulty, but
the situation does look serious.

News. - ~ - se q = y. -

Muscatine, June 22.-J. s. Morrison,
of Ottumwa. district engineer, repre-
senting the Iowa State Highway Com
mission, is in Muscatine for the pur-
pose Of comforting with County Engi-
peer Halbfass in regard to road and
other work contemplated in this coun-
ty.
Mr.. Morrison, who las twenty -coun-
ties in southeastern Iowa under his
jurisdiction. says that opposition to the
state highway plan of supervision OF
road improvements is gradually dis
appearing. The feeling that the COM
mission interfered with the free action
of the boards Of supervisors is dimin-
fishing, if it has not altogether van
ished, he adds.
Want More County Roads.
Engineer Morrison said that over so
per cent Of his district wanted extern
sion Of the county roads. This indi-
Gated that the system was meeting the
approval Of the public.
Under the new law that was passed
by the Thirty-fifth general assembly,
So per cent Of the highways in a coun-
ty were to remain as township roads,
while from 10 to Is per cent were to
be designed as county roads to be i'm
proved and maintained at the expense
Of the county.
Benefits Of Standardixati
Large benefits have been derived
from the Standardization system adopt
ed by the state, according to the state
ments of Engineer Morrison. The COM
mission requires boards Of supervisors
to conform to certain specifications as
to bridges and culverts and road i'm
provement. A fixed standard is re-
quired for material and it's quality and
dimensions This, said the engineer,
has proven enormously economical and
saving to the counties thruout Iowa.
which now get better material and
construction that can be depended up
on to endure for a reasonable period
of time.
Control Only Supervisory.
While only supervisory control is
exercised by the commission, 1t Is
largely confined to specifications and
materials. In the matter Of county
roads, their location by the boards
must be approved by the commission.
This legal requirement enables the
commission to establish something OF
a state system Of roads, the improved
highways Of one county connecting
with those Of another.
The county system Is designated to
connect the larger cities OF population
in the county and to follow the main
lines OF travel. Thus far the applica-
ton Of this system is said to have pro-
duced the most desirable results.

VIENNA IS WELL FED DESPITE TICKETS AND MEATLESS DAYS Austria Eats As Much As Before the War, But
 Some Things Are
 Now Prescribed

Vienna December 3.-(Correspondenee of the Associated Press)-Bread tickets and two "meatless' days a week suggest the verge of famine to the person not familiar with life in the localities where such precautionary measures are being applied Vienna and the greater part of Austria are at present subject to the limitation in-feed which the bread ticket, wheat-bread prohibition and meatless days imply. But the fact is that nobody Is deprived of anything by these regula- tions. People eat as much as before, with the difference that some of the things they eat have been prescribed.
 The bread ticket system allows every person three rations daily each of 70 grammes of rye bread, or 210 grammes, not quite half-pound for the day. The person feeling the need of more ferina- ceous food can augment this apportion- ment by buying wheat cake and pastry in the restaurants and cafes and, if still unsatisfied after that can have an unlim- ited quantity of ''nockerln' dumplings for which the Austrian kitchen is justly famous, or he can order a dozen por- tons of "schmarn," another Austrian dish of fame. At a pinch the waiter may be bribed into increasing the bread ration
 It may be asked what, under such con- dstions. is the value of the bread ticket arrangement? The manager of a large Vienna restaurant supplied the answer.
 'The bread ticket prevents the waste of bread which formerly obtained he said. we were in the habit of putting baskets with rolls and cut bread on the table. Many of our patrons could start to eat as many as four rolls and not fin ish single one. The remainder had to be thrown into the swill barrel. Right now flour is too scarce to be fed to pigs
 A "meatless' day in Vienna and Aus tria is misnomer. In fact 1t is merely "beef-porkless'' day. and not even that altogether. Butchers and restaurants may on "meatless'' or "fleischlose' days sell any kind of meat with the exception of fresh beef, veal and pork. Picked and preserved beef, veal and pork may be sold however; so may fresh mutton and lamb, every kind of poultry, fresh and p1 eserved game and fish. It cannot be said that the "meatless" day works a hardship on anybody. Fresh beef and pork can be bought the day before for the "meatless'' days.
 But what really has hit the Viennese kard is the lack of whipped cream. with cut which they formerly could not drink their coffee Now only plain or condensed milk may be had.
 Back of these slight deprivations lies the fact that the hundreds of thousands of farmers and farm laborers now under arms cannot be both-soldiers and food producers-at the same time. Though the older men, women and children have done their best to keep the crops growing, here and there, with the questionable as- sistance of Russian and Serb prisoners of war; the result has not been equal to

that of normal times. In addition to this the army itself has drawn heavily on the country's meat and flour stuff stores. Owing to their great bulk and relatively low food values, vegetables can not be taken to the front to each man in the proportions of vegetables, meat and cereal food he eats when at home. Another drawback is that vegetables spoil too quickly.
 This has resulted in the consumption by the army of meat and cereal foods about 8 per cent greater than what the sa me number of men would have required at home. Most of this represents bread, fresh beef and pork, and to counteract the increased need for these felt by the army, the population at home had to make slight sacrifices, hence the bread ticket and the fresh beef, veal and pork less'' days,
