But Need Now l. Rain.

Special to The World.
ALTON, Okla, May l7.-Corn is
beginning to need rain in this county.
but is not suffering as yet from lack
of moisture The corn has been
plowcd over from one to three times
already this year, which has looscned
up the soil well, but has caused the
ground to become dry ana dusty The
corn crop has been held back the past
few weeks on account of cool weather.
but with good rain the corn would
now go ahead nicely. a good stand
has been obtained i'm most cases and
with the ground plowed well and
clean little rain and sunshine will
give ottawa countys corn crop a fine
prospect for good corn crop. Wheat
and oats are both doing nicely and
are not needing the rain as bad as
the corn. Roads are also becoming
little dusty on account Of the large
amount of travel in automobiles and
the dry weather.

Is not a partisan period; but there
arise some mitigating circumstances
out of the great volume of brand-new

whose toes are pinched, but who, on
the other hand, had ample opportuni-
ty to do a great service in the late
political campaign for the whole of
the people.
Strongest in their prosests are the
leading Democratic newspapers and

FIRE FACILITIES TOTALLY

number OF banking and business men that
the city'S fire protection system was to-
tally inadequate and must be remedied at
once. Illustrative of this point. Mr.. Gun
ningham pointed out the wholesale ware
house district of the city representing mil
lions of dollars and with practically no
fire protection.
Mr.. Cunningham said that his investga-
tion of Saturday, fires showed that when
the alarm was turned INTO the water plant
there was less than ten minutes reserve
supply. The gathering was also informed
that the city would lose the low - per
cent insurance rate and that this differ
-rnre alone would amount 10 enough to es-
tahliSh adequate fire fighting facilities.
The speaker recommended Increased
pump capacity. circular mains. a trained
and drilled fire department, and. ii nee
c>-ary. stand pipe giving sufficient pres
sure 10 insure the city against loss.
Besides the commissioners this after
Moons session was attended by 4 large
number of bankers and business men.
City Manager Williams told of the new
pumps that were being Installed and the
storage tanks that were being built. and
declared that when this was completed.
probably not less than thirty days. the fire
protection question IN % far n the plant
was concerned. would be- settled.
'The City Commission of Brownsville has
40 excuse to offer lis people for Saturday
afternoons Disaster" - Commissioner W.
IT. putegnat told the citizens assembled NJ
this afternoons meeting. Mr.. Putegnat
stated that the commission thought they
hal plenty of water. that the plant was i'll
excellent working order and that al all
times there was from forty to sixty pounds
pressure in the water mains of the city
commission.
This disaster, which had it occurred in
the more thckiy populated portion of the
same end of town, would. without doubt
have laid ii waste, ~ due To either one or
two things, negligence or inefilciency. Mr..
Putegnat then introduced a motion that
the city at once hire competent engineer
To determine which Vt these two conditions
was blamablc and To recommend whss the
city should do. The motion was seconded
IN Mr. More and carried. Mr.. Putcgnat
then suggested that the Mayor appoint Il
committee of commissioners and cltIzen-
10 secure such nm engineer. The Mayor
said that the appointment would bc made
lacr.
/ Mr. Cunningham of the insurance board
suggested that the commissioners tele-
graph the state insurance commissioner
and request him Ia send one oi hi engi-
ncer- This suggestion was approved.
