Of Scandinavian rather than Drui-
dical origin, as is thought by many,
is the Yule log custom, occurring
it does exactly six months between
the Midsummer's Fire. These are
lighted out of doors in all parts of
the country at the festival of the sum
mer solstice. To their winter cele-
bration the Scandinavian gave the
name of Yuul and lighted great bon
fires in honor of their god, Thor.
The bringing in of a ponderous block
of wood from the forest, and placing
it on the hearth of the Baronial hall
was ceremony honored and observed
on Christmas Day. In some parts of
the country the YuIe log is not allowed
to burn quite away, but the burnt ends
are carefully gathered and placed in
the clefts of fruit trees, to insure a
good crop the coming season.

SOUTH KEYPORT SHORTAGE
OF WATER CONSIDERED
Have Had Water Delivered at Homes
Since Pipes Burst; Lay New
Main in Broad Street
BIZ Specfdl CorreSpondene

| KEYPORT, June IA special
| meeting of the borough council was
called on Tuesday evening to discuss
matters of importance which could
not be determined upon at the last
meeting. The item of greatest i'm
portance was the question of supply
Ing South Keyport with water. Since
the cold weather of the past winter
the people in the south section have
been without water except that which
| has been supplied by the borough
| twice a day. Every effort has been
exerted to have the pipes repaired
but it has been found that this can
not be done Owing to the old pipes
being SO warn out and having been
burst in many places it has been
found necessary to lay a four inch
pipe on each side of Broad street in
order to supply South Keyport with
water. The work Of laying the new
mains will be started Immediately so
that the residents of that section
might be supplied as soon as possi-
Bile.
1t was reported that the new well
which is being driven at the water
the volume Of water which it is ex-
pected to produce is much greater
than that which it was at first
thought possible. The straners are
now being placed and it is thought
that within few days the new we'll
will be in operation.
The borough is greatly in need of
the new we'll and owing to this fact
the work of driving it has been
|speeded to the limit.
Bids are now being advertised for
the new auto apparatus to be used as
fire engine, pump and chemical en-
gine combined. The bids will be re-
ceived until June "a.
Owing to the cost of laying the
waterpipes to South Keyport the pro-
posed parkway on Mott street has
been abandoned at this time. The
street will be repaired and gravel Is
being carted and the holes in the road
being filled in, but for the present the
greater improvement will be dis
pensed with.
Considerable data was received for
the new motor truck for the borough
uses which is to be purchased. The
date was considered and a possible
selection will be made on Monday
evening.
