Our Diminishing Water Supply. . On account of the drought tbe sup ply of water ait the city reservoir is becoming rapidly diminished and is causing the members of the water board serious concern, 'the pumps are running day and night but in spite of this consumption of tbe wa ter is exceeding tne supply oy irom 8 to 10 inches daily. For this reason the water board request that all pro perty owners stop sprinkling their lawns and be as economical m every way, possible with the water. If all the consumers will practice economy there is no immediate cause for alarm but' if. the water is wasted, and a fire of any proportion should visit tbs eity would be at the mercy of the flames.

' The daily weather reports will be furnished the telephone company by the weather bureau, and the report will he read to the farmers by tele phone operators. . At a given hour each day a' general alarm will be sounded, calling every farmer to th telephone. When they are all a so bp bled the report will be read. Any farmer who is not able to answer the signal and hear the rtyort has the privilege of calling the operator and securing tbe information. " Almost every farmer 'a telephone Kne connected with the Bell system has six or more subscribers, and by reading the report to each line the. work can be speedily accomplished. ' This ig the first comprehensive and systematic effort to furnish $his infor mation without cost to- ths farmers of Che South. The spread of the tele phone in the rural districts in tbe past few years bas made it possibis to reach such a large number of farm ers through the Bell system, and ths dissemination of weather news by telephone is one of the many practical uses for the telephone on the farm.
