Mr.. Merriman, representing the Pa

week checking up the local situation
from the standpoint Of the Insurance
companies. He visited the pumping
plant and inspected the pump there.
He inspected the different fire hy-
drants, the chemical truck, the hose
carts and figured the capacity Of the
storage tank. He was noncommittal
about the effect Of his investigation
upon the rates but stated that another
man would come within a few weeks
who would make a survey Of the town
with reference to buildings removed
and probably would have the insur-
ance maps brought up to date.

and will lower the rates If they con-

The insurance people advocate the
installation Of another pump at the
power house to be used in case that
the present one should play out dur
ing a fire. They also advocate a di-
rect connection from the pump line
to the supply mains below the tank in
order to increase the capacity Of the
pump in time of fire.

of the town five. They worked the
ball rapidly down the floor and when
within striking distance almost in
variably made the shot
The ReIt team on the other hand
were weak on the offensive but Ocea-
sionally worked the bali close enough
to shoot. Usually his teammates fed
the bali to Boboth who shot and al
most invariably missed. Remington
also missed two easy shots.
In, the first half Remington played
basket guard while Gossack, Snooks,
Boboth and Kane were the offense.
The score was I9 to 6 at the end of
tae half when McCafferty replaced
Gossack. At the end Of the third
quarter Servoss replaced McCafferty
and played standing guard while Rem
ington played forward The Belt boys
during this part of the game seemed
70 come back and played their oppon-
ants to standstill but failed to make
baskets when the opportunity offered.

that is not the case. Honest people
in business way are in politics. A
few others are like the story of a
boy coming home from school and
who asked his father if he were a
good mathematician. Yes my boy,
/ think l am pretty good" the
father replied. "Well than, I have
problem I'd like to have you
work There were three frogs sit
ting on log-a bull frog, a tree
frog and toad frog. The bull
frog decided to jump off. How many
frogs were left?'' The father
smiled. 1.-TWO frogs were left. -

exclaimed the boy grinning. Three
frogs were left, the bull frog only
decided to jump off. He didn't
jump. Yours, Chas. Beard.
