GOOD JOB WELL DONE

The laying on of hands" is all
right and appropriate in some in
stances, but when man deals to
his wife "sundry light. affection

the gall to do same in public, it's
"a horse of another color.
One of the travelling weavers at
the Woolen Mill has been in the
habit of pounding his wife at any
and all times. On Monday and
Tuesday of this week he worked
up his muscle on his favorits
pastime, and because his spouse
got peeved and left, he went out
camping on her trail with the
avowed intention of ending her
mad CD flight with the aid of q
gun. A number of the boys hap
pened to be within hearing dis.
tance Tuesday evening, and after
listening to his threats for a time

the city council has reconsidered
its motion regarding the matter
of charging the Caledonian Asso-

HORSE DRAWN VEHICLES
MUST NOW CARRY LIGHT

At the regular session of the
legislature this year, law was
passed requiring lights on all
horse drawn vehicles after dark.
All such vehicles travelling on viii
lage or city streets or trunk line
highways after dark or sunset,
shall display a white light in
front and red one behind. 1t has
been said that this Dies not mean
that a vehicle shall have two
lights, as the ordinary buggy or
bicycle lamp will serve the pur-
pose nicely.
Drivers of autos will he pleas
ed with the new measure, as it is
common occurrence to come up
on a buggy or wagon while driv-
ing. Lights will enable a motor
ist to see vehicles at some dis
tance ahead, and it is expected
that many accidents will be ELI
minated.

oeipt Of letter from r. H. Petit,
Professor of Entomology of the
u. of NJ, in which he states that
an examination of the coddling
moth cage at the collage shows
that many coddling moths have
emerged. In view of that, they
recommend that the spray for the
second generation of coddling
moths be applied iR this county as
near July 2lst as possible. Prof.
Petit further states that this
seems to check up with the moths
in the southern part of the state
and believes this is as near as they
can compute the date for the sea

lists to give careful attention to
this matter

Country Towns Need Better
Water Supplies Badly

Referring to well founded
criticism pertaining to the unat-
tractive appearance Of country
villages adjacent to our great me-
tropolis, The Detroit News con-
cludes an excellent editorial as
follows:
The reason why the villages dry
up and show a brown, weather =
worn appearance to the passerby,
sufficient to augment his thirst, is
lack of water supply. Travel in
any direction from the city and
the story is the same: No water.
Of course there is water. But be-
cause village administrations have
not been of a very high caliber
but have drooled along, meeting
their problems in the true village
spirit Of argumentative futility,
the majority of villages only know
how to use the hose by hearsa
and literally are forbidden the
use of the precious fluid which
makes flowers to bloom and grass
to grow and provides pleasant
dwelling places for man and his
children.
One nearby village gets all its
water form Detroit, and so has
plenty. Others experiment with
wells and worry nights about the
fire pressure. Water supply is so
vital, not only to gardens and the
kitchen food supply, but to health
and sanitation that some day per-
haps the state will take cogniz-
ance of the problems and compel
small communities to provide adj
equate water as condition of
municipal existence.
Nature does her best; man
runs a poor second.
