It is a well known and conceded
fuct that Athena is the center of a
dry farming section where; "water is
water" and until this year the in
habitants have been forced to deponi
almost entirely on old Jupiter Pluv
ius for moisture for flower and vege
table garden. But this season, by
dint i,f much hard labor and expense
on the part of city officials, the Athe
na water system has been brought to
a point where the reservoir is full,
and property cwners have had suf
f cient water for necessary irrigation.
But this condition will not obtain un
less strict economy on the part of j
n!I water users is practiced. An ob
server who is much interested in the
beautifying of the town has been
shocked to note that numbers of peo
ple allow the water tu run full force
through an open hose, without noz
zle or sprinkler, thereby wasting gal
ions of precious water. This only
goes to prove that many j topie can
not stand prosperity ami thai ' we
never miss the water 'til the well
runs dry." It is to be hoped that
vater consumers will unite in con
certed economy and enable us to get
through the dry season with enough
water to keep our lawns p-eeii and
our flowers blooming.

Scintilating from Mr. Coolidge's
declining star of stateciaft is the
glowing fact that he has hastened its
netting by aligning his administration j
with the great interests of the c -ap- j
tains of industry in marked prefer-1
inent, to the disadvantage of agri
culture. His slogan of "rule or ruin"
as borne out in his attitude aguhst
u'giMuuoii lor lurm reliet on aiiv
basis other than a money loaning
policy, stamps the president to be
the 'true blue easterner that he is,
always has been and will ever be.
His failure to see in the demand ot
agriculture an even break in the
protective principals and policies of
his party given the industialists, is
the rock that will surely capsize
the C'oolidge canoe. And the agri
cultural states of the nation will
little to assist in the salvaging of
the wieck. It is not the thame t .
