mission decided that when it becomes
necessary to run a sewer in that street
they will carry it westward to the
main in VanEps avenue. although
this one is not quite so deeply buried
as is the n in Egan.
Andrew Peterson, contractor and
builder of the two city bridges, APP
peared and asked for an inspection
for acceptance of his work. He is
working on a county bridge now
northwest of the city, but will COM
plete the work this week, when he
will return to Tyler, Mimi, and he
wants the business brought to a close
here before he goes.
After a brief consideration of the
water escaping from a hydrant on
the west side and wetting the street
because of there being no head to the
hydrant itself, and which is secured
by tying plank across the end If the
pipe, thus resisting the pressure OF a
1O0-foot head of water in the city
standpipe, the commission adjourned
its session. There was discussion
thereafter, however, of such general
things as kings and ships and seal
ing wax and whether pigs have
wings.

The STAFF OF LIFE
CONSTANT AGITATION OVER THE
FOOD AND FUEL SUPPLIES
LABOR AND PRODUCT.

j. L. Runchey said today that he
was in receipt of a summons from
the National Bakers association to
be in Chicago to attend a meeting of
that body and the Bakers Council of
Defense on or within four days of
September 1t. He explained that
the summons was not worded as an
invitation only, but had something
of a peremptoriness of tone that left
him in doubt as to a persons choice
in the matter, especially as the meet
ing is called under that food auto
crat. III. C. Hoover. And the meas
ures taken will undoubtedly be pur-
suant to suggestions or perhaps to
Mr.. Hoover's more or less arbitrary
order.
The council of defense and subsid-
larry organizations helping il by on
servation and recording the food and
fuel resources of the country are
keeping in very close touch with all
food and fuel producers, and giving
especial attention to the bakers and
grain purchasing agencies. Mr.. Run
chey said today that papers through
out the country had been making
some wild and %fanciful statements Of
the cost and probable future prices
of food, especially of bread. 1t has
been stated that bread would be
much lower on account of the lower
prices OF flour and under the influ-
enee Of the oncoming crop of wheat.
He differs with this expressed opin-
ion, and states that the best that can
be hoped from wheat at s2.10 is a
16-ounce loaf of bread at 10 cents
The popular conception of the
baker business is that there should
not be SO much of a margin as so per
cent between the cost of flour and
the finished product. People forget
that a large part of the cost of the
product is for labor, the same as il
is in making machinery or printing,
The material value OF the product is
not so much the article itself as it is
the labor expended in making it or
preparing it for consumption.
Flour is to be cheaper, however,
Mr.. Runchey says. 1t is now selling

THOMPSON farm WELL
DAN II. MORAN TAPS A VEIN
WHICH FORCES WATER
ABOVE SURFACE.

A near artesian well has been com
pleted on the farm of Wright Thomp-
son, five miles southeast of Madison.
Dan T. Moran, the well driller, fin
ished the well last week, the depth
being 121 feet with three inch pipe
extending to the bottom and project
ing four feet above the surface. The
water flows over the top of this pipe
in a volume Of a gallon a minute, es-
timated by Mr.. Moran. Mr.. Thomp-
son has not yet completed the work
at the surface, depending somewhat
on the continuous flow of the water.
Mr.. Moran has been in the we'll drill
ing business a number of years and
this is the first time in Lake county
that he has tapped a vein of water
with sufficient force to reach the
surface.
