Recruiting Officers Give Mode of Procedure to Se- cure Medals-Clasps to
 Show Service

The recruiting officer for the district of Alabama has been directed by the war department to commence the dis tribution of the victory medal to all those entitled to it who served in the world war between April 6, 1917, and armistice day, November Il, 1918 The medal, which will be issued gratis, is of beautifully toned bronze, and was designed by the celebrated American sculptor, James Earle Fraser of New York, under the supervision of the commission of fine arts.
 In addition to the medal there have been designed thirteen combat or major operation clasps and a defen- siye sector clasp which go on the rib bon with the medal, also five oversea service clasps for troops not entitled to battle clasps. The discharge given to each officer and soldier upon his separation from the service show the operations in which he was engaged, or the defensive sector held, and will determine the number and nature of the clasps issued with each medal.
 Owing to the different classes of medals it has been found necessary to divide them into three different phases: A medal assembled without ary

Jackman Water Supply Not Safe

A decision has been rendered by the
public utilities commission Friday de-
claring that the supply of water be-
ing furnished to the public in the
Plantation of Jackman by the Jack
man Water Light and Power Company
Is not a safe water for domestic use.
The decision orders that the com
pany forthwith and in any event be-
fore Dec /, 1920, shall extend its pipe
from the present intake point to an
other point in the pond which consti-
tutes its source OF supply and re-lo-
cate its intake at place in the pond
where the pollution from the public
sewer will not reach the same. Such
relocation and extension shall be
made at the expense OF the company,
but shall be in accordance with the di-
rection of the chief engineer OF this
general supervision, and shall finally
be done to the satisfaction of this
commission
The decision further orders the
Jackman Water, Light and Power
Company forthwith and in any event
before Dec. /, 1920, to install and
thereafter use in connection with the
publication OF the water supplied to
it's customers a chlorinating apparatus
of approved style, the same to be a
type approved by this commission.
THE figures indicate that the COM
pany Is not at all prosperous and that
Father Forests statement that he IS
operating the company without any
thought Of profit is amply borne out. ~
"An examination of the operations
of the company does not indicate that
any possible economies have been
omitted and the result is that the
probable income does not equal the
probable expense.
This of course does not mean that
the company can be permitted to con-
tinue in distributing polluted water.
1t does, however. mean that II the
company is required to increase its
capital expenditures by relocating its
present intake pipe and chlorinatinG
the water distributed the rates to be
charged may have to be increased.
"Jackman does not appear to be
growing, and the information which
we receive indicates that instead of in
creasing in population 1t will probably
decrease within the next few years
We do not feel authorized to require
the company to do any more than is
reasonably necessary to clean up as
far as possible the present situation
in an effort to supply as nearly as may
be a disable water. The officers OF
the town must do their part. If the
town itself continues to contaminate
this public water supply, the commits
sion will be obliged to act We dc
not expect that we shall be called
upon, because we believe that the as
SCISSORS will attend to matters to which
attention has been called. We dc
not feel that the water company
should relocate its intake pipe and
that 1t must chlorinate its supply"
