TOWN WELLS GUSH
Water Fills the Storage Tank, but II
Of Little Use to Pumps.

Water Fills the Storage Tank, but 10
Of Little Use to Pumps.
The town of Wyoming. three miles
south Of Dover, DEL, has a phenOme-
non which officials and residents have
been unable to explain. The water
system. pumping station and tower are
q quarter mile from the town proper,
with tank which Is nearly 100 feet
high and has capacity Of several
thousand gallons. Usually 1t has re-
quired an hour or longer to fill the
tank by pumping from the driven wells
and refill Ii as water Is drawn by con-
sumers.
Within the past week the unusual
thing has happened. The keeper Of
the pumping station was surprised to
see the tank filed in about 20 minutes
Of pumping and in some instances not
that long. 1t Is also noticed that even
after the pumps have been shut down
the water gushes up the pipe for con-
siderable height, causing the tank to
overflow.
With this peculiar situation several
town wells have gone dry, the pre-
sumption being that the pumping sta
ton has struck the same vein Of wa.
ter. Residents with such useless wells
have been compelled to tap the town
water supply.

VICTORY LOAN AN APPEAL
TO OUR BUSINESS SENSE
A. Business Proposition No Man
Ca" Afford Not to Subscribe to
Full Limit Of His Ability.
BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS,
Author of "Tarzan of the Apes.n

BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS,
Author Of "Tarzan Of the Apes"
There are an infinite number of ex-
cellent reasons why we should sup
port the Victory Liberty Loan.
The finest sentiments we possess
must prompt us to subscribe to this
loan even more freely than we did to
the others. The government must get
money or IL would not ask us for It,
The man who was prompted to lend In
the past through fear that II he did
not the Germans might get over here
and make it unpleasant for him Is
mighty yellow" If he will not sub
scribe. now that the danger Is past
Our response to previous loans indi-
Gated that We were thoroughly in &C
cord with the principles for which we
were fighting, and by our response we
authorized the expenditure Of the
sums necessary properly to prosecute
the war. These enormous expenses
must continue for some time The OBJ
legations involved must not be repu-
dated. They are our obligations as
individuals and We must look upon
them as such. It u not only a matter
Of necessity; II IL a matter of per-
sonal honor for us to meet these OBJ
legations promptly and gladly.
On the other hand, there 10 in the
Victory loan an appeal to our business
sense as well as to our patriotism.
There is the appea, to self-interest, for
the loan Is not to be without profit to
US. We are given an opportunity to
invest In an absolutely safe security,
and We will receive good rate of In
terest. AS business proposition no
man can afford not to subscribe to the
full limit Of his ability.
And there is another reason why we
should subscribe every cent that we
can rake and scrape together. 1t Is
this: If the government cannot raise
the necessary funds by the sale of
Liberty bonds, 1t must do II by direct
taxation. The government has the
RVVOh w t6A uS w HuCCt thtSc ODllSd-
tons, and II we are taxed we not only
will get no interest but we will never
get the principal back again.
1t seems to me that both the wisdom
and necessity for fully and immedi-
ately subscribing this Fifth Liberty
Loan must be obvious to anyone whose
mentality Is greater than that of a
child OF ten. We are supposed to be
an intelligent people, capable Of gov
erning ourselves and others. We pride
ourselves upon our business acumen.
upon our energy and upon our patri-
otism. In the Victory Liberty Loan
we shall have an opportunity TO prove
TO the world that we are better than
vain boosters, and that we are fully
deserving Of the estimate which we
have placed upon ourselves as people.
The time is here. The opportunity
IL here. The eyes of the world are
upon us--upon you. What the world
shall think Of us depends not upon the
action Of others hut upon what you
do-YOU.

retailer does now and then The re-
tail grocer Is the man aimed at in
the cost Of living, and he catches the
brunt Of the abuse.
We have many a good man who has
already figured closely and is doing
business ON the smallest possible
scale. It costs the retailer twice as
much to do business as 1t does IN
all other lines, and this ought to be
taken into account.
The New York Commercial takes
his side Of the argument in these
timely words:
"A. very large percentage Of
them fthe retailers) have been
doing business during the war
period under the greatest handi-
caps and have been obliged to
use a far greater amount of CAPT
tai in order TO earn living than
the average person has realized
An article that costs the retailer
81. for example, and which he
sells at Sl.i0, being an advance
o. 10 cents on the purchase price,
represents a profit Of 10 percent.
But that article is now apt to
cost him 81, and if he sells il at
an advance of only 10 cents he
is making a profit of only 5 per
cent on the capital involved But
ne is still entitled TO make his 10
percent and. therefore, should be
allowed TO sell the article at $500
The person who buys this article
iron him Is, Of course, paying
double the normal price, which ex-
presses the depreciation of the
dollar to So percent Of its former
valuation Rut the things which
the retailer must himself buy
have also doubled in price, so
that whereas a 10-cent profit
would suffice in forwer times, he
must now collect 20 cents. Ills is
as much entitled to have his in
come doubled as is the laborer
or the farmer His cost of doing
business has been doubled, so that
if he were held down to a. profit
OF 10 cents instead of 10 percent
he would be doing business at a
loss"
