End Their Bluff.

Jewell Record: The Capital City
Amusement Co., Of Des MOines, that
for a year past has been bluffing about
bringing suit in district court against
Lars Belleson, as representative of the
Jewell Community Club, has finally de-
cidcd to quit bluffing and on Tuesday
Of this week dismissed the case that
they had filed in district court at Web
ster City, and paid the costs themselves.
The alleged suit was an aftermath of
the celebration held in Jewell year
ago when the Capital City Amusement
Co. was given contract to provide
certa in free attractions for the event.
The concern did not furnish the attTac-
ton contracted for, but sent up sub
stitute, and the substitute was so very
poor that the committee refused to per-
nit them to show, and paid them only
fifty dollars of the amount contracted
to be paid. sufficient to pay the trav-
cling expenses of the outfit and little
more. The booking agency has since
been bluffing about suing for the bal
ance but when it finally came to a
showdown they changed their minds
about 1t.

Extend Water Mains.

Stratford Courier: The town water
mains are being extended this week to
the new residences erected by Il. NJ
Holt. Instead Of regular mains q
large galvanized pipe is being used
The way Stratford has been extending
out the past few years makes it sure
and certain that more water mains
must be added to the present system
New homes in the outlying portions OF
the town will require the town water
supply and it should be the aim OF the
town council to plan additions to the
present system so that no matter where
n home is built within the limits they
can connect to the water mains. This
will encourage the home builder t'
erect modern homes in the outskirts rs
well as close in.
