Position Of Water Tank.
Question: Is 1t true that a hori-
zontal hot water supply tank will
be heated more quickly than ver-
tical tank?
Answer: A tank with a capacity
of more than So gallons should be
horizontal and attached to the un-
der side of the ceiling near the
heater. 1t is important that con-
nections should be correctly made,
for otherwise, the circulation will
not be free, and the water will not
heat thoroughly. You can get dia-
grams showing the connections
from plumber. Tanks holding 50
gallons and less should be vertical.

 country under planned agricul- ture. Sam Pierce was digging potatoes the other day when hungry looking WPAster wander cd over into the lot from the hospital job asked, What are you going to do with all those spuds you're billing off to one side?" sam strengthened uD from his labor and said, Why, those are seconds. You can have 'em, if you want em." The hungry fellow looked lOngingly at the luscious ground apples and sighed. ''Never- -mind," he said. II suppose I'd have to pick 'cm up."
 Believe it or not, that actually happened at the Pierce Estate in Pierce Hollow We kept the story until after election because we were fearful somebody would claim we were riding the New Dealers.
 A stout supporter of the United Americans and believer in more substantial share of profits for agriculture repOrtedly classified Purchase Hill farmer we know as NaZi. This farmer saw his name calling ncighbOr in front of a market on Main street. He chased the offender into 0ne door and out the other. The careless gent climbed into his milk truck and stepped on the starter just as the Purchase man bounced out in pursuit. The car refused to start. Into one side of the truck climb cd our man; out the other sit:e went the lad with the loose ton gue. Around the truck they ran, with the barber shop crowd yell ing encouragement.
 Finally, the man from the hill- top gave up the chase and climb ed into his Packard. AS he drove away, he said, "I'll be seein you sometime when I don't have to drag you out from under car" Bets are two-to-one on our friend from Purchase Hill.
 We lost one bet on the election. < town official offered tO bet ten dolIars there would be blank ballot if one particular mOun- taneer voted. There were no blank boIIOts. We failed to take the bet.
