HOW TO MAKE
HOT WATER HOT

Does your hot water refuse to heat?
This question may appear to beArather
superfluous. But it isn't. s. ~
For H. y, Wells, proprietor of the
Hotel Northern, asserts that it has
been discovered that the insulation on
steam coils used in hot water tanks,
caused by chemical action in the re-
cent treatment Of the city water,
gives way to a sudden jar caused by
hammering on the pipes w~herefthey
enter the tanks.
This experience has been recorded
by other citizens to whom the results
of the methods which Mr.. Wells has
employed, may suggest a way out of
the difficulty. In other words, just
insulate your steam coils and every
thing else being right, you will have
plenty Of hot watern
The experiment which Mr.. Wells
has conducted for over a week proved
a perfect success.

BURLEIGH COUNTY
MAY BOND FOR SEED

Wilton, n. D.. Jan. 81. NJ. Bran
der, Burleigh's new county agent, is
circulating in the northern part Of
the county petitions calling upon the
county commissions to bond for such
amount as may be necessary to aid
farmers who are in nee to purchase
seed corr and other grain for spring
planting. A comparatively small
number of signatures is required on
the petitions. which will be present
ed by Mr.. Brander at the next meet
ing Of the county commission.
The situation in Burleigh is not so
severe as in other sections OF the
slope. but many farmers in the nor
thern part Of the county. Burleigh's
newest frontier, were hard hit by hail
and other causes. resulting in almost
; complete crop losses in 1917, n the
county bonding aid will be a boon to
! them.

EVER'S NERVE

Johnny, Battler of Umps,
Distributes Cigarettes
Under Shell Fire.

Paris. Oct. 19.-Johnny Evers, known
wherever baseball is played. who is
in France serving as A Knights of Co
lumbus secretary, has been under
shell fire of the Germans. but came
through unscathed. Evers was near
the front fighting lines distributing
X. of c. supplies to American soldiers
when caught in a bombardment.
Since the battle of Chateau Thierry,
when American troops began their ad-
vance in earnest, the knights of Co
lumbus have employed several big
motor trucks to convey X. of c. sup
plies to the moving American trops.
Small cars are employed for work
near the advanced lines. Evers was
in charge of one of these. He mad
just finished distributing a quantity
of cigarettes when the Germans got
busy
Describing his experience. Evers
said: "Heine was in fine pitching
form that. day and served everything
he had in stOCk-high and low ones
and vicious inshoots. | Moved the
home plate so fast he couldn't put

ALL SATISFIED WITH
COLUMBIA COURSE

According to DR.. Walter Harlan,
chairman of the greensrcommittee of
the Columbia Country Club. there will
be no changes made in the course this
winter. This will be somewhat of an
innovation. as Columbia usually does
considerable work in the way of i'm
provements and changes during the
or season.
AS matter of fact, the Columbia
course is now in excellent shape and
from an architectural viewpoint can
hardly be improved upon. Walter
Travis and other well-known golf
course architects have gone over 1t
on a number OF occasions. and ii is
now in its present form about as near
perfect as it can well be, as far as its
natural advantages and trapping are
concerned.
OF course, several small changes
may be decided upon. while it will be
kept in S good condition as possible
but in the main nothing out of the
ordinary will be attempted.

Mr Miller made thi9 announcement

the last five years and holder of the
mile record will be turned out to
pasture to spend the rest OF his days.)
In green pastures, where the scent Of
flowers
From distant hillsides softly waited
down
Drifts on the idle breeze. through
long. long hours,
Far from the noisy track and hum
ming town;
There he will Craze, and nothing he
may crave,
As horses will. shall ever be denied:
His race is run. he OF the heart so
brave,
He who has been the turrs fond
boast and pride.
I wonder il in memory he will turn.
As men will do, to half forgotten
glory:
| "OIlutI II MS nthI l Will fN'i stsAi ~
For days wher he w2S living out
life'S story
II sometimes, when the twilight steals
along
The lane and over fields when day
is done
He'll feel the helpless longing OF the
strong.
Who in the shadow years have not
a son.
Old Roamer-may the memory of his
name
Never grow dim as onward march
the years,
With lion heart he raced his way to
fame.
But we who mourn his passing shed
no tears,
For his is but the story of the world
Since time began, the story OF the
great,
Whose waving banners one by one are
furled
BY mocking hands of a resistless
fate.
