PURE WATER FOR FA11sMoNr

~ city water commissioner, together with
other city officials, is getting facts and making
Investigations regarding the new filtration plant
which Faitmont needs and must have II tho lives OF
the people are not to continue at the mercy Of an
impure, dirty water supply.
From, tho viewpoint Of the health OF the citizens
otsFairmont thare is no other community issue SO
important as securing. with as little delay as
possible, q good filtration system to clear up and
cleanfup the city water.
Faifmont wal not have to expend SO large sum
asdo most cities. in establishing modern plant that
wtllStakescare Of the needs of the population Tho
reservoir, which is already constructed is of laree
enough capacity, and there arc two filtration beds,
now unused, that can be put into condition and
become part of the improvement contemplated
However, the sum involved will not be small and
The citizens will not desire that It should be merely
stopgap expense, which will have to be repeated in
afew years time. The great majority of the public
viii want the city to build a modern, substantial
satisfactory filtration plant that will take care Of the
city demands for years to como; that will bring
IN unfailing supply Of clear, sparkling, healthful
water into Fairmont homes, instead Of the murky
menacing fluid that flows from tho splgots at
present
Fairmontt has an abundance OF water in her
bpuntiful rivers. there will never be time when the
win lack water uness breakdown Of machin-
cry at the plant should occur: this wonderful
natural gift must be made the blessing It realiy
should be, and not the danger It frequcnty.is What

FARMERS SUCCEED

He Cooperative Marketing Bill has been
passed by the Senate almost unanimously
and goes to conference for adjustment Of detail with
the House. The bill has presented a difficult bit
OF legislation to Congress. The farmers wished to
receive permission to combine for the marketing
OF theirscrops, butithey wished at the same time
to not be held liable unner tho antitrust laws and
those laws which deal particularly with the elm
inatlon OF business competition. They have sue
ceded in freeing the bill from such liability There
but one string to Cooperative Marketing as con-
stdered by the Senate and that is that the secre-
tary OF Agriculture may, II. there be undue mono
poly or unfair boosting Of price, call halt and SGT
reasonable prices upon crops offered.
Under the Cooperative Marketing Bill any group
OF farmers may combine erect their own elevators,
and deal directly with their own markets This
will do away with former conditions, when farm
ers cut prices against each other in offering their
crops to the elevators maintained by grain ex-
changes and the producers therefore were FREE
qnently left with but scant profit to pay for labor
and Investment.
1t remains to be seen whether the farmer will
take undue advantage Of tho liberty which this bill
accords him. The elimination Of great part OF
the machinery Of distribution should result in good
both for producer and consumer It is probable
however, that sooner>or later crop shortage will
occur, or combine to limit production will be
formed, and an attempt be made to SKY" prices:
1t is for this that Federal supervision should
be adequate to deal with such occasions when they
come about.

insurance proposition that would insure the soldier

dependents at his death.
While the entire scheme will cost the govern

required for the first year would be one billion,
