The Munsey publications continue
to Improve. Theebruary number of
the Scrap Book, on sale today, sur
passes In Interest any previous issue.
Here aro the titles of a few of the best
articles: "Hamard, the First Detective
of Europe," " The Women Who Are
Plain." "How to Keep a Wife at
Home," "The Unhappicst Man on
Earth." "Strange Ways of Reading th
Future."
Munsey's leading article Is "The New
Florida," which Is In truth more devot
ed to Henry M. Flagler, the Florida
railroad builder, than to the state it
self. The article, however, would have
been nice to read about 10 days ago.
Prof. T. J. J. Sen has contributed a
very Interesting discussion of "Tl.lu!
"A'aves." which follow great enrth
liiukes. Of Interest to college boys Is Harry
Thurston Peek's story of the oili;'.-'

The contract ordered entered Into

Hall and Recorder D. E. Cox. with the
Am'-H-an Llsht & Power company,
for .thf onstructf'in of the R.-aver
f!r.'.-.ti water project, ! reaTr f.r the
signatures of both parties concerned.
The contract follows out Iq toto the
specification of the ordinance passed
Wednesday night. Mr. Hall and Mr.
Cox are ready to sign the document
that means pure and unreserved water
supply for the city, and It U thought
that when Mr. Lowry returns from
Enterprise, he, too, will affix his offi
cial signature, making the contract a
legal document.
As to the date of commencing Jhe
pipe line, nothing definite can be es
tablished, as the mountainous country
through which the pipe will pass, must
first thaw out. In the Interim, ma
terial will be purchased and put on
the ground, o that the entire project
can be completed In the specified time

mencement. DEGREES Aft
