Some Water Hogs in La Junta

Charlie Clark, head pumper at
the city water plant, sent in the s.
o. s. signal of distress yesterday
morning when he made the an
nouncement that the people OF La
Junta had used 2,250.O00 gallons
of water on Tuesday OF this week.
This taxed the capacity OF the three
wells that are now In use to the
full limit, and II you are ever en-
gagged in the pleasant pastime OF ir-
rigating, you probably noticed that
the pressure was rather light and
not up to the usual standard on
that day.
The present unlimited hours of
irrigation will have to be curtailed
unless the people are a little more
conservative in the use of water, as
there is limit to all things. The
members OF the city council are very
anxious to give the best water ser
vice possible, and It is their desire
to continue the unlimited hour reg
ulation II 1t is possible to do SO, but
II you turn your hose loose and let
II run night and day the city coun-
Gil will have to insist upon strict
enforcement OF the hours provided
by ordinance. and may have to in
augurate the every other day sys-
TEN for irrigating which was In force
In previous years.
At the present time three wells
are in service at the city. water
plant, and three additional wells are
now being put down. one OF which
was completed last Saturday night
and will be connected up and placed
in service in few days. Five hun.
dred gallons OF water per day for
every man, woman and child in La
Junta Is a little too much under
present conditions. and you Will be
wise II you give a demonstration
OF your patriotism by being econom.
ical In the use OF water Just AZ
most everybody is with everything
else.

one day this week from her son,
Howard Kranz. who is now in the
service of Uncle Sam in the Coast Ar

Pacific ocean for eight days. you

This is sure some place and be-
lieve am going to like 1t very much.
You ought to see the whales, sharks.
flying fish, and all the other strange
things over here. including the peo-
pie and their dress. When we were
waiting for pilot saw shark and

Francisco 1t was stormy, and l got
very seasick, but after that l felt
fine. l was on police duty on the
ship, and that was the first thing
outside of drilling that l have done
since left home.
THE fort where we are located Is
five miles from Honolulu, and there
are immense ponds OF water lilies
between the city and the fort. but
not any OF them are in bloom yet. I
saw miles and miles OF sugar cane,
and you ought to see the way they
prepare the land fer the cane. They
use some kind OF an implement that
looks like a lister. only It is about
three times as large. This is pulled
by steam tractor Every year
they cut in the high ridge and plant
the cane In the bottom Of the listed
row. sas-r

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-05-23

The same is true with the eyes. It isn't merely the duty of parents to tell children to read or study in 9 good light-it is their duty to see that they do so. Mere telling" counts for little--it's seeing that thing IS done that brings results. Millions of our population wear glasses merely because their parents did not follow up good instructions, as every eye- doctor will tell you. And these are fruitful source of military unfitnesss.
 There are other physical imperfec- tions, due to one-sided development, that also produces military unfit men, but these are too many and too complex to require detailed descrip- tion here Bad eyes and bad teeth arc primary causes of military un- fitness; and the tragedy of these s that in nine cases out of ten they are the result of carelessness in youth and lack of proper attention by pa rents and the educational system.
 In the case of the educational sys- tenn, there is this about it: It should not be the object of the state merely to instruct in the three r's" and the other things that go with them; should also be the object of the state to see that the children coming under it's jurisdiction are healthy and keep on the road toward health. This is of greater importance than some of the studies taught.
 Progress has been made in the last decade; but the results neces- sarily will not show prominently un- til the growing generation is grown up. At present, with our distressing ly high percentage of the military un- fit, we are reaping the harvest of a didn't care" or didn't know" gen eration, which unwittingly has left it's ineraseablc marks on the youth of the present generation.

CONVENTION OF GROCERS.

Toledo, May 21.-Delegates are here to take part in what is expected to
 be the most important convention held by the National Association of Retail Grocers since it was first organized twenty years ago. Problems that threaten not only the prosperity but the very existence of the retail gro cery trade have arisen with the war, and it is these problems that will be threshed out during the three days that the convention will continue. Reasons and ermedies for the exist ing high prices, which the retailers insist are doing them more harm than good, will be discussed by leading of all branches of the trade. The effects of the war tax on the retail trade and the problems of food conservation and marketing and the possibility of governmental regu- lation of prices are other matters scheduled to receive attention. Repre- sentatives of the retail grocery trade from every section of the country were on hand for the opening of the con- vention today.
