For Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE EEL

THE EEL
The eel lies in the mud all day,
He does not lark or romp or play
Or tie himself in knots, as you
If you were built like him, would do.
He mostly sleeps, till dinner time
Then eats the algae in the slime.
No eel would ever ask to go
To see a moving picture show,
He would not care for lollypops
Or chocolate mints, or licorice drops,
He sometimes takes little swim
But football doesn't interest him.
You'd think an eel would quite enjoy
To be little girl or boy
And have snug and cosy bed
And feathery pillows for his head
But though such hope swould be in
vain
He does not grumble nor complain.
He merely swims and swims and
maps,
And watches smartly out for traps,
And gives all worms a careful look
Lest curled up in them be hook.
A quiet life, without event,
And yet he seems to be content.
He seems to think his life's all right,
Which shows he can't he very bright.

Walter A. Ennis
Store Robbed

The hardware store of Walter A.
Ennis, corner OF Main and Washington
ave, was entered some time last night,
by craftsmen who looted the Safe and
carried off between $3.50 and $500
worth of merchandise The exact ex-
tent of the loss could not be fully de-
termined as full inventory has not
been taken.
Mrs. F'leisher, who lives next door
to the Ennis place, says that she heard
a noise in the store at about 11.30
o'clock She called out but received
no answer.
Investigation disclosed that the
thieves had made their entrance
through the side garage door, bursting
the lock, and from there had gone to
the inside back door, where they broke
pane of glass and pulled the bolt in
side the door.

Install Fire Plug IL
Years After 1t Was Ordered
Ordered in 1908 for Doughty Road and Washington Ape
Is Just Placed-What Confronts CouncLmen.

In discussion before the Common
Council, Monday evening, it developed
that the water company is slow to in
crease the size of its mains to- meet
the growing needs of the city, also to
place fire plugs for fire protection.
City Clerk Andrews recalled that the
first fire plug ordered by the city was
for the corner of Doughty rd. and
Washington avenue in 1908. This
fire plug" said Mr.. Andrews, was in
stalled during the last week or SO, or
II years after it was ordered. A fire
plug has not been installed in Pleas
antville in five years except the one at
Doughty I'd, back order of II years
ago."
Councilman Collins opened the dis
cussion when he asked for information
as to why some action is not being
taken on a petition by Ryon avenue
property owners, who want an add
tional fire plug and main larger than
the present two inch main. President
Yates, Councilman Englehardt and Sc
licitor Champion participated in the
discussion. 1t was explained that 33
fire plugs were recently ordered and
that some of the water mains are in
adequate to supply water needed in a
city of $4,000 to $4,000. The water
company, however, takes the position
that it cannot be forced to lay new
mains or furnish water supply for fire
plugs unless it can be shown that

DOES GOD SEND PEOPLE TO HE'LL?
Rev. G. Woodvine Ball Will Discuss the


There are some who say that they
cannot and do not believe in God who
would send people to hell" says Rev. G.
Woodvine Ball. pastor of the First Bap-
fist Church. "Of course what they be-
leve or do not believe will not change
the truth of Gods Word. There was a
time when some said that the earth does
not move but that did not change the
fact that it does move. There are great
many who are trying to make themselves
believe there is no hell because they are
hoping there is no hell. If there is a
hell, all their believing and hoping will
not change the fact. Is there a hell?
Does Gods word teach that there is? or
is it. as some declare, only an exploded
theory of the Theologians? If there is a
hell, doe God send people there? This
will be the subject of the sermon at the
First Baptist Church on Sunday night
The question will be answered from the
plain statements and teachings of the
Bible There will be the hearty Song Ser
