F0RDS WATER
STATUS SAME
No Great Improvement Re-
ported-ToWnship Com
mittee May Take Action

FORDS, June 20-The water sit
uation which for a time occupied
attention of the township committee
Is said to be not much more i'm
proved than it was some weeks ago,
when Committeeman Albert H. Lar
SOL, of Fords. investigated the wa
ter tanks and reported that little
hopes was in sight to get good water
pressure. At that time II was said
that the Middlesex Water Company
admitted the water shortage and Of
fered as a remedy to contract water
from the Perth Amboy water works.
No action has been taken to pro-
vide the taxpayers of Fords with tho
water they needed in spite of the
fact that the water tax is collected
when due. Committeeman William
II. Hoy at a recent meeting opposed
the plan to get the water from Perth
Amboy for unknown reasons with
out Offering a solution of the prob
lem. He chided Mayor Louis Neu-
berg because he had not taken
George w. Wood, a member of the
water committee, into, consideration
when the recent water Investigation
was made and probably on that az
count opposed the recommendation
of the special water committee to
take steps in improving the condi-
items.
At the next meeting Of the town
ship committee a revival of the
water situation is expected to come
forth. Little hope in getting az
ton is anticipated in view of the
constant opposition by some mem
oers of the township committee
when a question Of real Importance
IS taken up, such as the water prob
lem, which according to Mayor Neu-
berg's W statement is one of the
vital problems the township faces.

GRAIN TRADING NI PITS IN CHICAGO LIGHT IN VOLUME

CHICAGO, August 3O.-Trading in the grain pits here today was the lightest volume in some time and the undertone during the latter part of the season was firm. There was some scattered liquidation of long September wheat with evening up of short contracts and also changes over from September into the deferred de- liveries. Elevator interests were the principal buyers of September, while eastern houses aided in absorbing the offerings the bulk of which came from local operators, Wheat closed aC a net gain of IS to I2c with Decem- Der $1.O5@1s to $1,05 B, and May S1.10; corn was 5s to 1c higher; oats gained a shade to 34 c and provisions advanced 10 to 121ac.
 Although quotations at Liverpool were higher general cable news place the trade in an upcertain frame of mind and consequently op- erations were limited, the market eX- hibiting an irregular trend. Possibil- ity of a strike by the grain elevator men here Saturday, was given only passing attention. Improved weather conditions were reported and Cana dian forecasts were more faVora ble, now that harvesting is general in most sections of the Canadian west.
 Strength in cash corn together with buying by a few commission houses started some short covering and i'm proved the tone of the corn market but the trade was light
 Trade in oats was small and fn- fluenced by the action of the corn market. Provision trade was light but firm, being influenced by the higher hog market.

 Yes" said Miss Austin. On reaching the Adams house, the girl said a quick good-by. and Pinky Payne found himself at liberty to go in and see the other members of the 1 household, or to go home, for Miss Austin disappeared into the hall and up the staircase with the rapidity of a dissolving view.
 Young Payne turned away and strolled slowly back to the Waring home, wondering what 1t was about the disagreeable young woman that made him pay any attention to her at all.
 He found her the topic of discus sion when he arrived. "Of all rude people" Mrs. Peyton declared, she was certainly the worst"
 She wasw Helen agreed. "I couldn't make her out at all And l don't call her pretty, either"

 Why shouldn't she?" countered | Tyler. She's so terribly superior-I can't bear her. She acts as if she owned the earth. yet nobody knows who she is or anything about her"

 He smiled whimsicaly looking like naughty schoolboy. and Emily Bates took his hand and drew him down to a seat beside her
 What made you drop it, John?" she said, with a direct look into his eyes.
 He hesitated a moment, and his own glance wandered. then he said, "I don't know, Emily; I suppose it was a sudden physical contraction of the muscles of my hand-and l could not control it."
