There is no longer any lack of
moisture. In fact, some are already
complaining that there is too much
rain. But there is not. 1t will prob
ably do tie ground good to have a
good soaking. But it is human frail-

tinue to bear up under the complaints,
as well as the seasons as they come.
There is no known remedy for either.

dren, alighted from the electric car,
at the postoffice corner Tuesday after

the Pennington Tire Works and note
the wonderful activity that is constan-
tly in progress there, he would very
naturally conclude that he was in the
heart Of a metropolis. Things are
constantly on the move there, and al
though that establishment has no.
thing like the amount of room one
would naturally think it would require,
judging from the great output of
its product, in some manner the man
ager, W. d. Druce, manages to get all

overcome by getting into new quar-
ters. '

order to insure your being able to get
it when you need it.-Tetley-Klein
