WHEN RAIN FALLS.

The recent summer will be long
remembered in more than one region
of our big country for the droughts,
so severe as to dry up the very sourc-
.es of water-supply in number Of
communities. The University Of
North Carolina had to postpone OPP
ening this fall because the water
supply failed The private water
company responsible for supplying
Henderson, N. c., has gone into re-
ceiver's hands, because unable to
finance the pipe extensions necessa-
ry unless the town is to be altogeth-
er deprived of water. The city Of
Raleigh was at one time within three
days of the end of its supply, even
on very short rations. And now
comes news that in distant Vermont
a part of the state is suffering under
a drought so prolonged that it has
"caused the brooks to dry up" and in
a number of towns the water supply
has become practically exhausted.
Across the Canadian border a group
of towns have had electric power cut
off by reason of exhaustion of stream
flow. In numerous other localities,
widely scattered over the country the
late summer and early fall have been
excessively dry.
In rainless coutry where the
population has adjusted it's ways to
irrigation and water-supply by aque-
duct or canal from some snow-fed
stream, they do not worry about rain
But in our region even a few rainless
weeks begin to impose loss and in
convenience in rapid crescendo. Town
people, who have transferred their
reliance for water from the old oak
! en bucket to the handy faucet, are
upset completely when the spigot
goes dry. 1t is a precedent calcu-
lated to make us uneasy for the fu-
lure assurance of unbroken water
supply. However, such severe
droughts as 1921 has been and is yet
recording are so infrequent during
the life of any one generation as to
furnish no occasion for any city to
get panicky, unless its sources of
water are almost exhausted during
normal times, so that the margin of
reserve is narrow. Prolonged
drought is a very real possibility and
this summers experience should
warn all cities to beware of allowing
consumption to approach too closely
the supply of water, so that a mark
ed decline at the source would bring
on exhaustion and all the desperate
Inconvenience incident to water ia
mine, not to speak of the acute dan
ger of destructive fires.

Rotarians Hosts to
High School Eleven
In a Fine Program

In a Fine Program
One of the most interesting and
entertaining programs ever arrang-
ed by the Rotary Club was that of
last night when the members of the
Putnam High School football team
were guests of the club, for which
occasion Frank Weymer, chairman of
the boys committee, had arranged a
splendid program, which The News
regrets it is unable to report at
more length.
After the transaction of the usual
routine of business the meeting was
turned over to Chairman Weymer
and he introduced the speaker of
the evening, Professor Roanin, of
the high school inspection depart
ment of the University of Florida.
His talk to both the boys and mem
bers of the club was most impress
sive in emphasizing the ever in
creasing need for boys continuing in
school in order that they may ac-
Quire an education to equip them for
the keen competition that is daily
growing more pronounced.
The report rendered by the COM
mittee on boys ork carried with it
recommendation which were taken
up. The first one adopted was that
every Rotarian will adopt boy-be
his friend, consult and counsel with
him and take the place that fathers
many times find it difficult thing
to do.
The second was the taking of
steps to suppress cigarette smoking
among the boys. The members of the
football team were adjured that they
weR heroes in the eyes of all of the
younger pupils at schools and that
they could do more to discourage
smoking cigarettes in the school than
any of their elders. They pledged
their help.
There were some differences of
opinion as to a curfew law and this
matter was carried over to the next
meeting.
Nineteen members of the football
team were present and two coaches,
all joining in the songs, and just be-
fore they left the banquet hall the
boys gave their college yell.
A letter from the Woman's Club
asking assistance in carrying out
plans for the establishment of a
small luncheon counter at the school
building where some of the under
nourished children could be fed and
given milk, some of whom were I'M
able to pay for it, was received. The
Woman's Club will be asked to what
extent they will need assistance
from the Rotarians. Latere in the
evening DR.. Warren, in discussing
evils which have reached that stage
where they are alarming, said that
endeavors just now could be directed
toward a much more vitality needed
campaign than giving food to under
fed children, which he said, to large
extent, was myth. He suggested
examinations for hookworm, incipi-
ent tuberculosis, and other ills i'm
mediately dangerous, as well as a
very positive and necessary suppress
sion of the social evil which physi-
clans of the city now know to be
alarming.
Miss Floresa Sipprell appeared be-
fore the club and stated that she
wanted to ask if the Rotarians would
not assist in contributing money for
cash prizes for the poultry exhibits
to be held here Saturday. Before she
had concluded her talk the motion
was made to contribute the money
needed, $50, The vote was unani-
nous.
