WATER PIPE BURSTED.

The large or main pipe of our city
waterworks system bursted early last
Saturday afternoon. 1t happened in
front of Ed Ellingen's barber shop,
High street. So great was the break
in the pipe. though set about four feet
deep, the water was let loose in large
volume, and with the strong pressure

GENTLY to permit the water to rush out
and down the street. readily flooding it
from side to side. Luckily shutof at
the tower was shut soon enough to avoid
serious damage, but it was demon
strated in several ways that I'VE never

Lots Of hustling and labor for twenty
four hours were required TO make re-
pairs and put the system in running
order as before.

RESCUE HOME

We have not yet had the public
spirit to build up a community center
for our boys and girls. Our young
people follow the God.given impulse of
social life. seeing each other as much
as possible, in spite of the fact that
they have no other place TO meet and
become acquainted than the Main street
of our city. Since we have not done
this for them. should we not be willing
to help them when they have gone too
far for lack of suitable supervision?
The Salvation Army helps tie man
of all creeds. who has never made good,
and helps the girl who will never make
good without its help. Do We know
what has become of the young people
about whom there was so much talk
last year? They disappeared from our
Justly shocked and respectful town
and we did nothing to help them to a
better life, Now is our opportunity to
help build place where girls Of Wis
consin may go, where no questions will
asked of their past, and whore they
will be carried forward to useful and
a right living future.
The Salvation Army proposes to build
a Rescue Home at Milwaukee FOR the
state OF Wisconsin large enough to cost
$l25000, Six hundred dollars is Mineral
Points share. If VOC feel that you
haven't given enough, put your hand in
your pocket and given more. III you
haven't been asked to give, send your
share to Mrs. w. M. Gratot, 81 High
street, before Saturday of this week.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER IA. 1920.
CITY ON THE BLEEDER's BLOCK.

& AT its regular session for this month
our city council found awaiting for con-
sideration a bill Of Sll3.53. the charge
for services rendered by two account
ants sent here last February by the
State Tax Commission to examine pub
he records of the city.
The job was performed in leisurely
going manner and thus lasted four days.
One whom we regard as competent to
Judge, says it could have been done
in half the time, Verify. it taxes the
mind to believe this bill to be just or
even reasonable But to make the bill
more startling and of an overbearing
nature, is the warning attached thereto
to the effect that 10 per cent interest
from date of examination will be ex-
acted if bill is not paid instanter.
Calculating from this, what nice
Doodle is being gathered in, taking all
of the cities in the state into consider
alton. And does it not provide an
open question as to whether the work
ings of commissions are as much of a
blessing as a burden?

HOME BREW VS.. RED LIGHT.

Daily papers of big cities are contin
ually telling of scraps termed priz,
fights. but town weeklies haven't the
opportunity more than about once in 6
lifetime. Whiting the last week, how
ever, an event of&this kind has beer
pulled off in Mineral Point, and in sport
ing circles it has since been on par
with the world series base ball contests
for discussion.
The scrap took place in the center of
High street where Chestnut street
crosses. There were no stated purse,
specified rules or side bets The inno-
cent party, known as Red Light, was
assaulted without warning by Home
Brew in human form. 1t was give and
take for sevesal rounds, but Red Light
who went down or nearly so more than
once, never failed to come up smiling,
whereat Home Brew became raving
This, we are told, happened at opening
of the seventh round. when Home Brew
charged furiously, exclaiming you red
headed son of a -, grin, will yeh ?"
Red Light, being of an alert and elastic
nature, leaned back gracefully to
PROSTATE position but little to one
side. The charge made by Home Brew
was so terrific that he heaved himself
headlong and went sprawing head
on against the hard and unyielding
street and failed to arise
at the count of ten. while Red Light
had regained an upright attitude and
was smiling, even if cracked.
The scrap proved very amusing for
the few onlookers. Had its coming off
been announced beforehand. it is quite
likely majority of our citizens would
have been 'Johnnes-on- the-spot

DEPENDS LARGELY ON
THE BUSINESS MEN.

The Inland Printer, recognized au-
thority on the publishing industry, pre-
diets that at least 1000 Of the smaller
newspapers will be crowded out of ex-
istence within the coming year because
of the tyranieally high price of print
paper and other necessaries TO get out
a respectfully paper. 1t is hoped the
profteering tyrants who are the cause
of this forecast will be properly throt-
tied and punished and the misfortune
headed off.
Be the result what it may, we can
not conceive it as possible that any
town having enjoyed the advantage of
the issuance Of a newspaper in its midst
pr afer to be without it, any more than
it would prefer to be with church or
public school.
The publishing of newspaper is a
business enterprise requiring some cap
ital, with all material employed being Of
a wear.and-tear nature. yet it serves all
the while as benefit to the place where
issf d when property conduct and we
vigorously insist that newspaper is
an institution of necessity, rather than
one Of charity, as some of narrowness
of mind have openly insinuated- Neither
is it a thing for the convenience of
Tom, Dick and Harry in quest of some
thing for nothing.
Indirectly, newspaper is helpful to
every branch of business, prop to all
organizations created for the upbuild-
ing CT the town, tones up its morality
and ingrafts respect for law. In return
the paper needs and should have the
hearty and generous support of bust
ness institutions which, when judicious
ly done, will rebound not only to their
pleasure but to their profit as well.
Hence, is it not obvious that the life of
newspaper depends largely on the
alertness Of business establishments
