was going lo be a dry spilng, said i
tanner in town louuy. There has been
plenty of moisture up lo Hie presunl
time here In Collin uouuly. Dry weath-
er Is now needed so that the bottom'
lands, also some of l tie uplands, can
be planted ty corn. There are a num-
ber or acres of corn which were plan -
ed before thu last ruins thai are now
up and growing nicely.
The grains have had enough rain in
fact the excessive moisture has caus-
ed the rust or wheat to be very pre' -
alent.
Tho gardens that were planted have
been honefitcd by the recent rains. All
reports show thai more gardens are
planted this year than usually hiye In
Collin county. Both the farmer and
city man real lee now that more food
should be grown at home.
The heavy rains this past season
has washed a large amount of plant

the plnintlffa get $150 damages and
agreed to pay the court costs. The
plaintiffs were suing for damage dono
to crop by water, which ran over crop.
It was alleged, because of Insufficient
culverts to carry the water oft the de-
fendant's rhfht-of-way. The compro-
mise also provides that the railway
company will put In larger culverts to
take the water off that portion of

be Installed on top of the city hall

times cannot be heard In till parts of
tho city. This siren will bo operated
by a six-horse power motor, and when
the current Is turned on and th«
shrill sounds go out on the
vibrations of the air there Is no doubt
but that evi ry person in the city will
be disturbed from their peaceful
slumber, or called from their dally
labors, whether fire boys or not.

the city hall has been the means ot
sounding the tire alarms, but tills wits
unsatisfactory, for the whistle cotita
only be opewiteil when the mill was In
operation arid there was sufficient
steam. Another reason for discarding
the wild cat whistle, was that because
or shorts that occurred In the wlr'tig.
the whistle would "break out" with
lis shrieking notes, and caused the fire
boys to make many unnecessary runs
to the city hall.
