CITY WATER SUPPLY
Extreme Hot Weather Demand
Commissioners Believe Due 10 Excessive
 Amount of Sprinkling

The pumps at the water station have been running night and day for the past three days, but the reserve sup ply in The stand pipe Is decreasing steadily. At 6 o'clock Wednesday morning the water was down to the l5 feet Ievel, which Is a iiule less than it was Tuesday afternoon.
 A break in the pumping machinery or any temporary s.oppagc would leave the city practically without water. | is believed that the largely increased consumption is due to excess siye spriak.ing and the Wafer Conn misslo8ers are issuing 8 warning To the public that care must be exercised in following the rules or penalties will be imposed Their notice leads as fol lows.
 Water Takers Attention
 Since the sewers were completed tl.e consumption of water has 90 largely increased, that your commissioners have sent out rules limiting the use of hose to two hours between , p. m and p. n., and it is absolutely necessary that you conform to this request.
 \ new pump, electrically driven, has been ordered aad Will be installed as soon as possible, and this will in s measure help out.
 During the last two days many peo. pie must have been using hose con stantly and the pump has not been able 10 keep up the supply, for We lost water from the tank all day, 50 that at 9 D ID, when we should have not more thnn or 10 feet out, we had 30 feet out and only D feet in and the pump has not been able to overcome this during the night and this morning IWednes. day we stafl the day with ' feel out of the tank.
 With the use of the hose con fined to two hours between 5 and 9p. m we can keep up the supply We ask the cooperation of the people in doing this, so adequate water may be had for fire protection, which we did not have Tuesday night.
 Board of Water Commissioners.
 August 1, 1917.
 Is because of this shortage of water lhnt the paved streets are not being flashed We have been asked by the highway department to print the fol. IatVfrp continuation.
 "The city highway department re. yrets that on account Of the shortage of water il Is deemed inadvisable to give the attention to the streets that .hty would ike to give. They feel that .he flushing of the amasite pavement each day during this extremely hot period would be of great benefit to ev eryone, but until the pumping faeili. ties At the water stationlare improved they do not wish to Use the water for even this good purpose ?
 The department requests that any leakage that may be noticed be report ed to them at once.

ABOUT THE CHURCHES HOME GUARD INSIGNIA
Design of Regiment Captain
is Approved.

The Missouri Defense Council has
officially approved the Home Guard
insignia. designed by Elmer Don
nell, St Louis newspaper artist.
and captain of Company b, First
Regiment, Missouri Home Guards.
Bearing the approval also of Adult
ant General }. H. McCord, the de.
sign next will be sent to the War
Department at Washington for
official authorization. The insignia,
TO be done in bronze about the size
OF half dollar, is a collar ornament.
The Dumeral in the center indicates
the regiment number Above are
the initials H. G" and below the
initials, Mo" The twin bears of the
Missouri seal complete the design,
except for the commissioned officers
there is wreath to be found in the
place of the inner circle
Considerable detail remains to be
worked out in designing uniforms
and finding equipment for the Home
Guards before they become full
tledged organizations Adjutant
General McCord and Attorney Gen
eral McAllister, ia constituting the
Federal Defense Act, have ruled the
Guards may wear the olive drab
and khaki uniform Of the army, il
ornaments and strIpineS of a dis
tinctive ana distinguishing char.
acter are worn. 1t is probable that
in addition to the official collar or
namentS, a style OF button TO re-
place the bronze army button aud a
different manner OF stripes to indl
cate the rank of the men will be
designed.
The equipplne of the Home
Guards is a problem that will be
taken up as soon as the mubliza-
ton of state troops at Nevada is
completed, according to Gen. Nc
Cord Rules also will be promul,
gated fixing the physical fitness of
the men III the meantime local
Home Guard organizations are urs.
ed to MAINTAIN them to full strength.

The old way to put advertising behind the
selling force of business.
The new way is to put advertising ahead of the
selling force.
Just as the modern general hurls the heads of
his charging regiments curtain fire from the heavy
artillery, the modern manufacturer prepares the
way for his attacks by continuous fire of advertising
The Saturday Evening Post is the heavy artillery of
commerce.
It is the Dominant Publication of America.
Those manufacturers who through advertising,
dominate in their respective industries, are the
dominant users of space in its pages.
They know that the market which the Post sweeps
is so vast that it cannot be exhausted.
Never yet has there been in the Post advertising
campaign, matter how great, that even approached
its full potential of the trade to be won there.
The house that could get all the business in its line,
of even half of these two million families, would be
unable to take care of the orders.
The largest advertiser in the Post still increasing
his schedule
This market can never be monopolzed. There
industries in which dozen or more manufacturers
constantly using the Post. Each is increasing his
own sales. And each is helping all the others. 10
gether they are steadily widening the bounds of

market in which there is always room for still more
contenders.
Thus the competition made possible by the Post is
great constructive force.
The struggle is swift and keen, and open to all. In
this every man, small great, may win accord
ing to the strength of his stroke.
The Post cuts down the waste of competition and
distributes goods to the consumer at lower cost
Its volume of advertising today is huge because
there is so much merchandise to be moved, and
because the Post has proved to be the economical
means of moving it.
In this weeks issue advertised the products OF
12O different businesses. The majority OF the adver-
Users the leaders Of their fields.
Most of these manufacturers appropriate small
percentage of their gross sales for advertising Every
dollar invested in the Post must produce in actual
sales not less than $50. Otherwise advertisers would
not continue to use the Post
This vast volume of sales which Post advertising
stimulates is stabzing influence felt throughout the
entire commercial structure of America Not only
the manufacturer and the merchant, but also the
banker, today recognize the power of the Post. 1t
forms legitimate basis for credit
The Saturday Evening Post is curtain of fire under
which the whole statesmen, jobbers and deal
