DRY CHIEF WILL
 TRY HIS LUCK
 ON THE INDIANS
"Pussyfoot" Johnson, Pes simistic About England Going Dry, Will Sail Soon for Orient.
international News Service,

London, Aug. 17-"Pussyfoot" w. E. Johnson is going to try his luck on India. Before the end of August the American anti-booze campaigner will sail for the Far East, bent on wiping out Bombay's beer and Cal cutta's cocktails, he announced re- gently.
 "Pussyfoot' is a bit pessimistic about the chances of making Eng land dry, say, within the next four or five years, and wants to see what the chances are with India. The action of the British Parlia- ment in removing some of the war time liauor restrictions and making it easier to get booze has discourag- ed Johnson, but left him in good humor.
 If they want booze. turn it loose. he said. Let them have it-and take the consequences. That's de- mocracy I would like to see the whole world dry, but l believe in majority rule and whether it goes on my side or against 1t l submit to the majority
 Legislation that limits the num- Der of saloons or the number of drinking hours doesn't get to the bottom of the drnik question, added "Pussyfoot", commenting on the new British law.
 A man can get just as drunk in one saloon as in three, and if he is going to get drunk he can do it just as well in three hours as in six, he said.

The total cost of the proposed new water system, according to a state mont setting forth a detailed esti- mate of the outlay-published i'll this issue of The Daily Press, is much less than one-half the amount as represented in the assessed bet terments totaling $SO9,0OO. The statement published was prepared bv Messers. Heagler & Sons, engi- nccrs employed upon the project, and it sets forth facts with which the public should become familiar. The cost, according to the published statement in this issue, is estimated at $136,942.56-that amount in- cluding every item of expense at tached to the betterment in view. It is said that the actual cost of the entire system will fall even be- low those figures. Many persons seem to have been led to believe that the proposed new system would cost in the neighborhood of the figures representing the total assessed betterments, and to clear lip that misconception of the cost of the. project The Daily Press is publishing the authentic estimate of the undertaking.
 That Paragould is in need of a modern, efficient water system can not be denied. That fact has been clearly and definitely demonstrated. The community has not only been greatly inconvenienced by lack of water supply, but actually menaced from fire hazard point of view. J. A. Edwards, insurance agent, in conversation with a rep rcsentative of The Daily Press, said he had it upon reliable authority that the proposed new system would bring about reduction of insurance rates upon property in the city amounting to 10 to IA per cent. This reduction, it is pointed out. alone would ultimately pay the cost of the proposed new system; that saving, combined with the reduced cost of water to the consumer, would place the town upon the profit side of the ledger That and the added convenience and satis- faction of a modernized system give much strength to the argument that Paragould should be provided with real water system while the op- portunity is at hand.
