Floyd cranska Building Reservoir to Provide Water Supply for Mill Houses and Village Fire HydrAnts- WateF1mar Finds Strange Man Fol-
 lowing fim-Fires Two Shots Later

Floyd Cranska is again improving g the conditions in the kiswaukie vil- .age by having large reservoir erect cd at the rear of the new tenements dn Witness hill. The reservoir is 21 feet in diameter and about 8 feet high, made of a wall of rocks, to be cemented with concrete finish, all though the finish has not yet been commenced. It has a capacity of 30,- 00O gallons, the water to be pumped front of the Cranska mill plant. Force pumps in the mill will be used in forcing the water from the wells to the reservoir. The wells furnish ex- cellent drinking water, being about 100 feet deep.
 The tenements owned by the Cran- Ska plant are all being pfped to con meet with the reservoir So as all will be benefited by it. Not only will this will be connected with the fire hy- drantss throughout the business center of Moosup. This will be fine advan- tage over the old system because flow of water for fire protection can be secured as soon as the hose is at tached to the hydrants, thus speedy flow of water may be obtained and used while the pumps in the different mills are being started.
 Local people feel greatly indebted to Mfr. Cranska for having the reser- voir erected, knowing that it greatly aids in the protection against fire dam age in the village.

A meeting of the boys of Windham High school was held in the ass IT. bly hall, Monday afternoon, at which Principal Case and J. D. Elmendorf oe the local Y. NJ. c. A. spoke. Mir. Case complimented thei boys who belong to the football team on the results of the game Saturday. He then introduced MT. Elmendorf who said:
 While I represent the local Y. M- C. A. I do not appear for it here at this time, for I come to tell you Of the work done by the Y. M. c. A. for the soldiers at the front President
 Wilson, in an executive order, asked the Y M. c. A. to take the work of relieving the boys at the front of the
 nonotonous life which they lead and rible things which they see. The work done by this society is no pipe dream: it is reality and is well needed. In a. soldier at the front something mental or physical, breaks fro mthe great strain which he is sub iected to any many of them go crazy or commit suicide. in fact in the all lied army. there are over 100000 in-
 sane soldiers. Something must be given to make them forget the horrors and think of home and be in home like places. The Y. M. C. A. war work is doing this as much as it can.
 In the army are the brains of the country. Great, educational schools have been started and learned men from all walks of life are teaching their less fortunate brothers.
 Then, there is the morale of the army. Napoleon said that this factor was to all other factors as three is tc one There are more men in hos -pitals suffering from venereal diseases than from gun wounds.
 The Y..M. C.. A. is now starting an- other campaign for money; this time for s35, ,8o0,ee6. lover 24,0ee, ,00o men ,are in arms. practically two-thirds of the population Of the civilized ua- tions. One way to get part of that money is by red-blooded American boys. who want.to help the men fight ing for them but whc know of no way to do it. The Y..aM.tC. A. wants 100000 boys to earn s1e each for fhis war work, making one of the thirty five millions needed. But this money must be earned by the boy. It must not be asked for nor shall it be taken from any savings.
 As to the Y. NJ. c. A. it is the only organization which is allowed in rhe firing gene with the Red Cross. Work CTS are not as safe as they might be Tor eleven per cent. have been killed.
