FARGO'S WATER SUPPLY

Fargo, N. D., July 26.-The present
dry spell is causing heavy demands
for water In the city, owing to the
heavy sprinkling of lawns and war
gardens. Commissioner of Water
works R. B. Blakemore reports the
Waterworks is feeling the strain and
at times is run nearly to capacity
While this plant was large enough a
few years ago to take care of every
use the water might be put to, Fargo
is rapidly oyertaking this capacity,
and it is only a matter of short time
until the present waterworks must be
increased. Even now the excessive de-
mand on the plant, caused by the dry
weather, ditch tampering, construc-
ton work and the interstate fair is
crowding the capacity and the COM
missioner is asking for the public's
cooperation for the city's safety.

RAIL WAYS ASKING

Declare Emergency Imposes Up.
on Them Severe Strain
Without Construction Work
WOULD DO ONLY WHAT WAR
AND PUBLIC SAFETY NEED

A plea for the freeing of railways
of the United States from needless
construction burdens is made by the
American Railway association in. "a
letter from its Washington headquar-
ters today to the North Dakota state
railway commission. Writing to
Chairman S. j. Aandahl,' the secre-
tary of the railway association says:
'"The present emergency has i'm
posed on the railways very unusual
strain in transporting men, food, coal,
munitions and materials in augments
quantities. This burden while under
taken cheerfully, requires every
ounce of energy, every unit of roll
ing stock, every dollar of capital,
every bit of supplies and coal which
the railroads can command"
Construction aHndicap
Because of these facts the associa.
tions asks that the railways BE requir'
ed w make improvements only when
absolutely essential for swar purposes
or public safety, calling attention to
the difficulty which is encountered in
obtaining construction materials and
the traffic blockade often resulting
from construction operations.
Secretary J:nH. Calderhead of the
railway commission commented on
this petition ITO the effect that in
North Dakota there is imperative
much construction work if the ut
most efficiency is to be obtained from
railway plants. He referred especial
ly to stockyards, loading platforms
and other Installations which will aid

Bull Fight: Rodeo -.
and Circus Staged
in q Potato Patch

A self-respecting potato patch, the
pride of INels LOvin, was the scene
last night of a Spanish bull fight, g.
frontier rodeo, and an all-arOund wild
west circus, in which one large, red
and very stubborn bull was the prin.
cipal and star.
His bullship, one of five driven into
town by William Goebers herders,
could not resist the lush green of Nels
Lovin's potatoes, and ignoring the ef-
forts of the cow-punchers, he tore
down a section of fence and began a.
feast After the herders had tram
pied down several rows of spuds In
their efforts to recover the bull, Mrs.
Lovin took hand and evicted the
cow-punchers. ..+ .-
The latter came to town and report.
ed to Sheriff French. In the mean.
time, Mrs. Lovin, insisting that the
damage to her potatoes be made good,
called upon the police department to
take charge of the bull as surety. Big
Chris Martineson responded, talked
prettily to the bull and beat it over
the fence by a hair. Then Pound.
master Matt Clooten was called upon
to do his duty. He impressed two
expert ropers, mounted them on wiry
ponies, and dispatched them to the
scene. Mr.. Bull broke one rope,
tucked his head under a ponys with.
ers and hoisted the indignant animal
and his rider over the fence, where
upon both ropers went away from
there. %
At this juncture Sheriff French, who
had interviewed Mr.. Goebel and had
taken the latter's bond to make good
the damages, hove in view with a war
rant for the bull. Seeming new trou-
bles, \the bull, while the sheriff was
still in the offing, hoisted his tail and
sailed away over the prairies.
Today he is still sailing. Mrs.
LAWN wants him; William Goebel
wants him; Sheriff French wants him.
Among others in the same mood are
Big Chris Martineson, chief of police
men, and Matt Clooten, poundmaster.
He is large bull, red, two years old,
sleek, well-fed and generally behaved,
but he likes his potatoes, and doesn't
care for music with his meals

PLAY SEASON is ON
Topeka Riddles Are Now Enjoying
Their Real Vacation

The eight public Fairgrounds opened
Monday morning with a genuine big
drive of the kiddies. Nearly one thou
sand children turned out for the open
ing day. Apparatus, tennis courts and
croquet fields were literally covered
until o'clock, when the grounds
closed.
Coach Ernest Bearg, in charge of
the Fairgrounds, has predicted most
popular season for the grounds this
summer. Hot weather releases the
children from their own backwards
and turns them out to find shade and
comfort. The mothers are beginning
to look to the school board to take
care of their children during the sum-
mer as well as during the spring, fall
and winter when their schools are
opened
Scoutmaster H. I. Wood of the Boy
Scouts of Topeka has been appointed
by the Fairgrounds directors to take
charge of Scout work at the parks
and to organize Scout troops at the
several grounds. Night camps will be
opened soon for the Scouts and boys
of the Fairgrounds on the Washburn
campus An all-night camp will be
held nearly every night during the
summer.
A. o. Ross will take the place of
William McCarter as director at Pot
win and will devote his whole time to
the grounds. Ralph Wilson will take
the place of Ross at the Ripley and
City parks.

Chicago. June 1.-THE west was
struggling today to throw of the in
cubus of lethargy which has char
acterized its attitude toward the So
600, 100000 liberty loan.
In some of the western federal re-

ly admitted that after the first squirt
at the opening of liberty loan week,
the people had fallen into apathy.
Chicago had mapped out a million
dollars an hour campaign and was
main tanning that pace, which, if con-
tinued will result in this district fav-
ing subscribed its minimum allotment
of s26O,0OO,000 when the time limit

district to date, had taken slightly
more than SO per cent of its allotment.
The Kansas City district reported a
noticeable apathy on the part of its
citizens with its apportionment OF
more than $50, 900, 900 short. Various
organizations, however, were vigor-
