The dry season is here and you must
be saving of water. A City Ordinance
provides that all of that part of Miller
City lying East of Broadway may use
water for sprinkling and irrigation on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday fore
noon from Z o'clock to u, and at no
City lying West of Broadway may use
water for those purposes, on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday forenoon from
Z O'Clock to II, and at no other time,
AID all parties using city water for
those purposes must have a sprinkling
devise attached. and no sprinkling or
irrigation with open hose will be al
lowed.
All parties using water for sprink-
ling or irrigation must first obtain a
special permit which is issued by the

S The reason why this ordin-
once must be strictly enforced. is, that
cur supply of water is limited. and we
ust have a supply kept in the reser-
yoir so in the event a fire breaks out
we will have water to fight with. An
ether reason is, it costs $250.00 per
month for pumping the water in order
to have pressure enough on the mains
tn force water to the outlying sections
Of the city, and we cannot afford to
have water wasted. So don't be a wat
or hog but use as little as possible.
This ordinance will be enforced, and
the wate- commissioner will be around
to see that it is not being violated.

FEAST AT HELL HOLLOW
Forty Members and Friends Gathered
TO Eat SUGAR.

Bennington section OF the Green
Mountain club did justice to the fame
of the Vermont Maple last evening
when party of forty enjoyed sugar
feast at the He'll Hollow camp.
Conyeyances left the Y NJ. G. A.
corner soon after six with the main
party and at the very outset there
was variety, for the different modes
of transportation consisted of an auto
truck, a "three-seater" spring wagon,
an automobile and a real honest-to-
goodness hay-rack. Despite the adver-
tised hold-up that was to give some a
hike of a half a mile at the upper
end of the route, every driver was de-
termined that the spring mud and
mountain SHOWS should not prevent
getting through and all were able to
make the camp without losing a mud
pan or q wheel, and not even were any
appettes lost. Anyone could guess
that most of the party hadn't had much
to eat since their MONDAY meal and it
was well for the clubs treasury that
all brought their own lunch. Some de-
lay in bringing the syrup to the waxing
point made it necessary for everyone
to be doing something to take up time
and al put in the time eating which
did not in the least curb any appetites
f?r the Maple Wax which was served
in abundance.
bonfire was started outside and
SNOWFALL battle made an interesting
time earlier in the evening. Although
this was one of the largest evening
parties the club has held at the camp,
there was plenty of room. The rem
oval Of the bunkrooms has enlarged the
inside and for the occasion the large
porch was enclosed with canvas and
Illuminated with several lanterns The
return trip started soon after ten
O'Clock, many walking part way home
and being picked up later by the
trucks.
This was the most successful sugar
party the local section has ever had
and a very good start for a revival OF
the social functions after period of
inactivity brought about by war. The
next event will be get-together meet
ing for the purpose OF reorganization
and will be held at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Wednesday evening the 21st and to
which all who are interested in the
club, whether former members or not,
are invited.

STRIKERS STATEMENT
Say That the Vote Of Jan. list Was Not
Properly Taken.

The committee representing the men
out on strike at the II. T. Cushman
company plant wish to make the fol-
lowing statement to the public In re-
gard to the vote taken January 1st.
1920.
'At that time there were two pro-
positions made; one for a 50-hour
week with a 10 per cent. reduction in
wages, while the other was to continue
the present schedule with about a 6
per cent increase
AT the time the vote was taken the
company was taking inventory and
about one third of the help were out.
The only statement made by the com
pany as to the result of the vote was
that by majority of about 4 to l il
was voted to continue the schedule in
force at that time.
THE strikers feel that the company
did not treat them fairly by taking a
vote under those conditions and that
every man in the company's employ
a chance to vote.
