WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
STILL OPERATE FOR
PRESERVING INCOMES

Two years ago when the feeding of
the world depended on the raising and
movement of the crops of the United
States, there we're in Missouri and
other States inspectors of threshing
machines. delegated with authority by
the Federal Government. 1t was their
duty to inspect and regulate the sep
arators so as to save the largest
amount of grain possible. 1t is esti-
mated that in Missouri alone the saw
ing from this inspection and regula-
ton was approximately ten percent.
Of the grain threshed.
As the backing of the Federal au-
thority no longer exists. the work of
these inspectors has been discontinued
this year in many localities, and the
threshers have slipped back into the
old hit or miss style of doing bust
ness. The result is the clear loss OF
the grain which could be saved. 1t
was proved that the saving could be
made yet the tremendous profit from
that saving is now being passed up.
Thousands of people in the United
States arc threshing their incomes in
he same hit or miss style. During
he war they regulated the use of their
incomes by means of Liberty Bonds,
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates. The saving
amounted TO some $22,0O0,OOO,O00.
Now. however, although they have
proved to themselves and the world
that this saving of incomes may be ac-
complished without difficulty, many
are allowing that portion of their in
comes to be wasted without benefit to
themselves and with detriment to the
nation as whole.
More than that, some by selling and
spending their Liberty Bonds and gov
eminent savings securities in un-
necessary luxuries and in speculation,
are wasting the grain already saved
from the ihresher The economic loss
to the individual, the community and
the nation can be avoided by the pro-
per regulation of income and a ire
mendous saving can be accomplished
through investment in government Sc
curities The Federal authority has
been withdrawn from the inspectors
Of threshers but the United States
Treasury, through its issue of War
Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates still operates for the saw
ing of incomes.

NAVAL circles Regret
PALMER'S RESIGNATION

Much regret is expressed in and
out Of the service thai the navy is to
lose so valuable an officer as Capt.
Leigh c. Palmer. whose resignation
has been accepted TO take effect on
September 20.
CAPTAIN Palmer is one of the most
promising of the comparatively young
officers of the navy, and this summer
he attained the permanent rank OF
captain at the unusually young age
of AZ years after having served as
temporary officer in that grade since
February. 1915. During the war and
up to the fall of 1918, he sered as
chief of the bureau of navigation win
the rank of rear admiral He Is one
OF the foremost gunnery experts OF
the navy, and at one time he served
as director of target practice and en-
cheering competitions.
As result of Capt. Palmer's resig-
nation, Capt. William l.. Iittleiield
and Commander Frank II. Sadler. who
have been temporary in their respec-
tive grades, will become permanent
therein on Sepimber 2l.

Mans Faithful Friend

In ali countries the dog is house

of all classes of people, and Cuvier
gives him the distinction of being the
only animal that has followed man
over the whole earth. Dogs give faith
full and valuable service in return for
the protection they receive from their
masters. On sheep-farms they de-
fend the flocks, guideathem from the
pastures to the sheepfold and keep
them together if night or a storm
overtakes them. The dog is the far
mer's best friend; he guards his poul-
try-yard from foxes, skunks and
woodchucks; protects his garden and
his house from thieves; drives his
cattle afield and brings them home.

routine of the Secretary's an
nouncement, which is taken to be
matter of course Therefore,
why keep rocking the boat?
The following editorial para
graph from the Philadelphia Rec
ord seems appropriate IN the
above connection:
Attorney General Schaffer's
opinion that, as a consequence OF
Tennessee's action in ratifying
the Nineteenth Amendment. the
women OF Pennsylvania will be
entitled to vote at the coming
election regardless of all State
laws and constitutional provis-
ions. seems both sound law and
common sense. OF course, there
must be the formal announce
ment by the Secretary of State
that the necessary three-fourths
of the States have given their APP
proyal to the amendment, but
this is regarded as a matter OF
mere routine. The essential fact
is that women now stand on a
political equality with men. 1t
is to be hoped that there will be
no obstructive legal bubbles in
tended to delay the exercise of
this right by women. The At
torney Generals opinion seems
to indicate that in Pennsylvania,
at least, there are to be no tao
tics of this sort"

WHY KEEP ROCKING THE BOATi

Talk OF court fights on the
Nineteenth Amendment is rife in
Tennessee. according to the
newspaper reports. The "antis"
propose to put the question OF
women's suffrage into all the
legal tangles they can find, APP
parently in the hope that they
can somehow avoid the newt
able or. at least. defer it.
First one legal obstacle and
then another is being suggested
affecting the right of women TO
register and vote in Maryland
this fall. Governor Richie and
the election boards. however, are
saving that, so far as the admin
istration is concerned, the proce-
dure for exercising the franchise
will'not only be unhampered but
will be facilitated as far as pos
sible.
This is, OF course, just as it
should be. II the women are en-
franchised by the Federal
Amendment in time to vote this
fall. there would be no excuse for
anybody putting annoying or
useless difficulties in the way.
Apart from the question of pro
cedure. captious and frivilous OBJ
iectionS on legal grounds are just
as much out of order If there
are any real legal grounds for
closing the polls to any woman
or group of women, that is an
other thing 1t is only fair TO as
sumo that the women do not
want the ballot unless the right
comes clean and unqueStionable.
However. they have shown both
the disposition and the capacity
TO see that they get what is COM
ing'to them. in spite of artful OBJ
structions and devices in the halls
OF legislation. through court pro
ceedings. or otherwise.
1t is generally conceded that
women's suffrage is here, or. at
least. that il is very imminent,
and the weight of legal opinion
undoubtedly is that when the leg
islatures of three-fouths of the
states have finally ratified the
suffrage amendment, followed by
the detail of the announcement of
this fact BY the Secretary OF
State, votes for women is just as
much part OF the law OF the land
as votes for men. All this has
come to pass except the mere

Artesian Wells

In the year 1900, eight S-inch
and two 6-inch wells were drilled
in various places on the pumping
station lot. The wells are all
about 120 feet deep and flow with
out pumping. The wells are con-
nected to a 12-inch pipe which is
connected TO the pump Suction.
No authoritative information
concerning the original yield of
these wells can be had, but in
July, 1917. it was reported to be
$4,000 gallons in "a hours and in
February, 1919, to be 226,000 gall
Ions per "A hours. At the present
time they are reported 20 be flow
ing between 100000 and 100000
gallons per day.
This water proved to be very
unsatisfactory for domestic pur-
poses, on account of its highly
mineralized character, and its use
had to be abandoned except in
times of drought. The principal
objection is caused by the large
amuont OF iron contained in the
water, which is 13 times greater
than the amount considered al
lowable in good domestic water
supply. Bacteriologically, the wa
ter is of unquestionable purity.
This water might be treated in
either of two ways to remove the
iron and render it satisfactory for
domestic purposes. One method
would be to thoroughly aerate it
by having it fall a few feet
through the air in the form of a
fine spray in a tower constructed
for that purpose. After aerating
the water should be held in a
sedimentation tank for a few
hours to allow the iron to coagul-
ate and largely settle out. and fin
ally. it should be, passed through
a course sand filter to strain out
the remaining precipitated iron
particles. This process may be
complicated by the presence of
other minerals in the water. and
whether it can be successfully
used or not can only be deter
mined by experimentation
Another method which has
proved successful IN practice IS to
pass the water through filters
filled with an artificial zeolite in
stead of sand 4 well-known FL
ter of this type is that manufac-
tured by the Permutit Company
The cost Of such treatment
would BE approximately $500 per
million gallons.
We do not consider ii advisable
to further develop the artesian
water for the following reasons:
The artesian supply cannot be
increased ind init ely; the wells
have to be cleaned and new ones

REVISED FIGURES

It's fullest economical extent. We
have examined this stream. and
conclude that tho most favorable
site for a dam TO form an inn
bounding reservoir is about 2-lO
of a mile upstream from the Ches-
terrified road at the old mill dam
on what is now the property OF
Mr.. Fritz Schoen.
At this point a shorter dam
would be required and the foun-
dation conditions are better than
further downstream. Also, the
necessity for expensive public
road relocation and construction
would be avoided and the cost for
pipe lines and pumping would be
less. The area of the watershed
above this point Is 6.73 square
miles. and the minimum stream
flow is about $4,000 gallons per
day.
When il first becomes necessary
TO use this supply. il will be to
make up the deficiency occurring
during periods of low water in the
present source. and for this pur-
pose a low dam, pumping station
and pipe line will be required
This equipment would yiold one
million gallons of water per day
The present dam could be re-
constructed and provided with
concrete spillway 70 form au I'M
pounding reservoir with maxi
mum depth OF about s feet. The
pumping station would be small
building alongside the dam, hous-
ing a centrifugal pump with a
capacity of one million gallons
per day, which would be driven
by a fuel oil engine. A 12-inch
pipe line would be required TO
convey the water, and this line
would be laid partly along roads
and partly in the valley of small
stream until the ridge dividing the
two water sheds could be crossed,
as shown on the accompanying
map. 1t would then be continued
as a larger-siZed vitrified pipe un-
til the nearest stream of water
leading into the present reservoir
was reached. the watef flowing by
gravity from the ridge to the
reservoir.
BY locating the pipe line in this
manner, the total lift can be made
smaller with almost a minimum
length of pipe line, and the cost of
operation will be decreased.
We estimate the cost of this
work. including dam. nnmpicg
station and pipe lins, with an al
lowance for engineering, contin-
gencies and contractors profit,
will be $1O1 900. This does not
include cost of land and rights of
way.
When the necessity for a much
greater supply arises, a larger
dam can be constructed at this
point and about 500.000.000 gal
Ions impounded. This is SO far in
the future that it need not be fur
Their considered at this time, but is
pointed out to show that even
many years ahead there Will be no
extrome difficulty in securing an
adequate supply.
