WANTED HIS moneys PACK"
German Drummer Baked When He
Started to Cross Old Bridge at
Troy, New York.

Albany, N. Y, has n historical mu-
scum that contains, among other treas
ure. a bass drum dating back TO the
great influx OF German immigrants
which followed the revolution Of 1S4S
In Germany, says Cartoons. This in.
strument was owned by the first OF the
wandering hungry five" bands which
appeared in this country after Marx
and Engels, the Industrious collabora-
tors, wrote the communist manifesto.
The bass drummer was called "Thlck
Head" Schultz. According to music

THE COLLEGE WATER SUPPLY

The College Waterworks were the
gift Of Berea's great friend, DR.. ID. X.
pearsons, and designed 10 deliver the
College, as they have done, from
typhoid fever and like diseases. In
the Improvement and extension OF
the Waterworks a good deal OF
money has been added 10 that orig
inally given by Doctor pearsons.
Inasmuch as the College had this
water is has been glad 20 furnish ID
at reasonable rates 10 those neigh
bors who were easily reached and
some others have, at their own ex-
pense, carried pipes TO their resi-
dences and thus secured a supply.
This accommodation has been
made without assuming obligation
on the part OF the College TO furnish
water. Clearly the College can not
give more water than il has, and il
must use the water il has first for
its students.
The first great shortage occurred
last summer and seriously disturbed
a great many people. IL has been
the intention of the College to notify
every person who took College water
that they must not depend upon
THAT water as a sole reliance, but
must have some well or cistern of
their own TO supply them in case Of
need. IL appeared last summer that
there were a number Of persons
who had made no such provision.
AT the recent meeting OF the
Trustees in Berea the Treasurer
was directed TO send notification
10 all persons using College water
that their supply would be discon-
tinued next summer unless by that
time they could show some well or
oistern which could be used in time
OF scarcity.
In other words. the College does
not guarantee a supply of water,
and will not supply water at all to
any person who makes this water
the only reliance for supply.
or course the consumption Of
water on the part Of the College is
increased as the number Of students
increases. Definite efforts are be-
ing made by annexing new springs
and enlarging the pool at the pump
ing station 10 increase the supply.
Another feature of this mater is
that of fire protection. The fire
hydrants do protect not only the
College buildings. but large part
OF the village. II will be the policy
of the College to keep the tanks full
so as to have a pressure in case Of
fire even though the supply of water
has 10 be cut Off from all outside
parties.
IL is hoped this matter will be
thoroughly understood and that ali
will appreciate the great benefits
which we are enjoying through
Doctor Parsons magnificent gift.

LETTER FROM MRS. WAY
TO THE SCHOOL GARDEN ARMY

pittsburgh, ia.
Dear Boys and Girls of the School
Garden Army:
| hope you read the lesson last
week about preparing the ground
Tor your garden. You will remem-
her that you are TO dig into the soil
deeply and sift IL very fine in pre-
pairing your seed bed.
You will see that I am now in
Pittsburgh, Pa, several hundred
miles from you. or course saw a
lot OF country Gs came along. The
most noticeable thing as we travelled
through Kentucky was the fields
That were being prepared for to-
bacco planting. We could see the
plants covered over with cheese
cloth and the farmers turning the
soil over. Some of them were plow-
ing very deep and we knew they
we're going to have a very flourish
ing crop. Others were working
carelessly and we suspected that
they were wasting a great deal Of
their time, for the crop will not
grow so well unless the soil is care
fully prepared.
Now, you boys and girls who have
no garden grounds and are planning
10 plant beans around your fences
m get the best results by digging
n trench about a foot deep and
foot wide.
After you have prepared the
soil, il you happen TO have any
wood ashes mix them in the soil, by
sitting them thoroughly together.
Wood ashes, as you know, are n
sort Of fertilizer, which will make
the ground richer and produce a
better crop. You can plant your
bean seeds next 10 the fence and
your onion seeds along the edge OF
the ground.
Beans and onions are sure TO give
you pretty fair results, even on
poor soil. | hope that each one Of
you boys and girls who have no
garden spots in your yards will use
these fences for this purpose AMI
call it your school garden. II will
be so much easier for you 10 pre-
pare the ground near your home
and 10 watch and harvest your
crops.
Now. won't you children who
have no ground ask your parents
il they know Of a small plot of
ground near your home and be all
ready TO tell Mrs. Noble and Pro-
fcssor Dizney about it on Monday
morning.
With best wishes TO the School
Gardens.

Postmaster General Burleson. Tho

On uniform basis The new ruling
makes no changes in local telephone
rates.
The principal change from the
former method of determining long
distance telephone rates is that in
stead of one class of service there
are several, each with a different
rate. For example, there is one
charge for Station to station" calls,
another when a definite person is
desired, another for appointment"
calls, for night calls, and so on.
The basis for all charges on long
distance telephone calls under the
new regulation is. the Station to sta

of 5 cents for each six miles Up to
