Grady Wheat Crop
Free from Damage
By Pests, Belief

Pests have done very little dam
age to the Grady county wheat crop
j.. w. Owens, county farm agent
declared today.
In past years. wheat rust, prairie
dogs and grasshoppers have been
very disastrous to the wheat crop in
this county, Mr.. Owens said. This
year very little damage has been
done, he said, war on prairie dogs
having been started early in Sac
season.
In 1919, an army of grasshoppers
invaded the wheat fields of Grady
county destroying thousands of dol
lars worth of wheat. Up to date
according to Mr.. Owens, few grass
hoppcrs have been seen in the
fields.

Whitewash Passes; Days Of
Its Glistening Whiteness In
Euerv Direction Are Gone

Whitewashing, made popular by Tom
Sawyer, seems to have taken the
same path to oblivion as the horse
car driver.
True, the snowy wilderness of fresh
" whitewashed fences and barns Is
appealing to the old folks eyes. Also
several of the darker hued persons Of
Richmond will still whitewash the
fence, barn or tree trunk. But as a
whole, whitewashing is passing to
"Old Black Joe
A coat of paint, according to house
wives, lasts much longer than white
wash. Also the paint does not cost
very much more than the same guam
tity of whitewash.
In the days when Richmond's gut
tiers were made Of cObblestones and
the sidewalks of bricks, whitewash
was in its glory. 1t was picturesque
sight to see the cutters with a glisten-
ing coat of whitewash, the shade trees
with their trunks whitewashed up to
the first branches, and the back, front
and side fences Respondent in white
wash.
Today we have cement sidewalks
and cutters. Landscape gardeners do
not favor whitewashed trees. 1t
spells their natural beauty, they say.

President Veeck of the Chicago club
on Feb. 10, 1920 and confessed.
He said Magee told him and Weeks
that Hal Chase had tempted him to
gamble on the game and that Chase
had forced money on him.
Heydler on cross examination de-
MED that Magee had told him and
Veeck that Chase had double cross
ed" him by placing bets against the
Reds instead of on the Cincinnati
team.
Asked how long he had known that
Jimmy Ring, Red pitcher, had receiv'
ed $50 from Chase, Hedler said since
January, 1919, when Ring gave an
affidavit in the Chase case. Heydler
said he was convinced that Ring was
honest and was innocent of any
wrong-doing.

WATER co, LOCATES
LEAKS WHICH WASTE
$4,000 GAL. DAILY

Do you know that a complete sur
vey was made Of Richmond in the past
seven weeks and most of it was done
at night? Perhaps you saw small
blue shelter box that stood on the
streets in different parts of the city.
That was to cover the instrument that
recorded the flow in the water mains.
Some time ago the water company
believed that all the water pumped
was not being used and was being
wasted through leaking house fixtures,
service pipes and mains. AS result
Of the resulting survey. 74s,000 gallons
of water a day is being saved to Rich
mond
The company contracted with The
Pftometer company of New York, to
locate these leaks, and its representa-
tive, Mr.. ]. 8. Wetherald, has just COM
pleted the work How was it done?
Meters will register fixture leaks, as
some consumers have learned by ex-
perience, but about % per cent of the
services are not metered Then leaks
in underground service pipes and
mains are not registered by meters.
An instrument called a Pilot tube. con-
sisting OF two small glass tubes con-
nected at one end, with the open ends
bent in opposite directions, was placed
in service.
A city is divided into districts, and
the valves supplying a district are
turned OFF, except one valve through
which passes all the consumption. At
this point an inch tap is made in the
main and a brass valve inserted, and
in this opening is inverted the Pilot
tube. AS the water flows in the main
there is slight difference Of velocity
as 1t passes the upstream and down
stream tubes.
Recorded by colored Liquid.
This difference is recorded by the
use of colored liquid in the tubes,
the levels in the two tubes being diff
ferent In proportion to the flow in the
main.
If the flow at night is excessive the
district is subdivided until 1t is found
in which main the leak is occurring.
Inspection Is then made of all house
fixtures, and services supplied thru
this main. 1t Is surprising how &C
curately these leaks can be located.
Although there was no evidence on
the surface, leaks were located under
ground amounting to 25S,000 gallons
q day. One leak was found in six
inch main on South II. street, which
was wasting $4,000 gallons a day
The cast iron pipe had been cracked
almost completely across by the settle
ment of the earth over a sewer which
passed under the water main, the
water running into the sewer with
out showing on the surface
Leaks in broken and unused SER
vices amounted to 100000 gallons a
day, while leaks in house fixtures
amounted to 100000 gallons a day.
Repairs are now being made as the
result of this survey, and a house to
house inspection made of all fixtures
which are not metered, thereby af-
fecting a reduction of several thous-
and gallons. The company hopes by
this means to overcome the increased
cost of pumping due largely to the
higher cost of coal
