to that proposed by the British gov

would be initiated with, an Itinerary
comprising South Africa, Australia.

WRATH FELL ON MAYOR
NORTH SIDE WOMEN
WEREiANGRY
VILLAGE Chief Elective Aroused
At Early Hour; Hydrant
Burst

Wrath of the housewives of North
Mankato descended on the head of
Mayor c. L. Ball this morning when
they arose, and found that the water
supply in the taps in their kitchens
was a minus quantity. This all came
about through the bursting of lly-
drant some time during the night on
Lyndale avenue, which completely
drained the village reservoir. Con-
siderable building had been going on
in that section of the village all win
Ter and water had been drawn from
that particular hydrant for the mix
ing of cement and plaster. 1t is
thought that the hydrant was not
properly shut off and as a conse-
uuence froze. The mild weather yes
terday and last night thawed it out
and the water gushed forth. The
break was not noticed, owing to the
fact that the hydrant is situated on
the end of the avenue mentioned,
which has Just recently been built up.
Aroused From Sleep.
Mayor Ball stated to a Free Pres
reporter this morning that he was
aroused from sound sleep early this
morning by the ringing OF the tele-
phone bell. When he answered the
call he was greeted by female
voice demanding TO know why she
could not get water with which TO
cook coffee for breakfast. Telling the
lady to Hold the line" Mayor Ball
went to his own kitchen tap and
found that it was as dry as the des-
ert of Sahara. From that time on
until he got dressed, he was greeted
by the irate voices of housewives de-
handing to know when the city water
would be turned on.
Calling the commissioner of water
works. H. B. Eikum, Mayor Ban
went out on tour OF investigator
and finally found the hydrant. MI.
Eikum is now busy pumping water 10

Mayor Ball is glad that hre did
not break out while the reservoir was
empty.
