the benefit of the French orphans.
Popples have conic to us over the

From the hands of oppressed, to the
land of the free,
Over the ocean's wild waves and
loam,
To remind us or those who have
gone from our homes.
They dime to US blight ns the ra-diant
sun.
Not sombre and dull to remind us of
gloom.
And as blight as the strips of old
Glory unfurled.
To cheer and to comfort the rest of
the world.
They come lo us brilliant, and dain-ty
and bold.
They are not from a land, that is
barren and cold,
Put a land that is kissed hy a breeze
from the sea,
A land that oft beckons to you and
to me,
A land tho down trodden, will yet
have Its chance,
Oh brilliant, nnd glorious red poppies

hocken Town Council was held on
Wednesday evening to Consider the
case and arrange tor the presenta-tion
of their testimony '<> be given
before the Public Service Commis-sion
tor which they. are paying.
What they claim, an excessive price.
The appeals made lo (lie Public
servi-e Commission are as follows:
1. Neglect to lay water main
to six consumers a distance
less than .".00 feet. Applications
for S consumers was made in
May, 1912, and another this
present year.
2. Four (4d dead ends on
lin.^s to be changed ns water
becomes unfit for use.
3. Mains to fire plugs where
pressure is low should be
changed to a larger main, calla-ble
of furnishing ample fire pro-tection.
The four (4) inch
mains used at present will not
supply pumping engine, or give
lire service Without using said
engine.
I. Fire plugs are all in need
of a general overhauling.
.". Have two pumping en-sines
at pumping staiion ol
which only one can he used. 11
it should break down, and could
not be repaired irside of two or

the pumping equipment, is not ept
in a si ale of repairs that if an ac-cident
should happen to one of their
engines nnd it could not he repaired
wifhin twenty-four hours the nor
ough would he without water. They
further claim that the mains'on the
side streets are too small for lire
protection and also that the com-pany
has refused to extend their
main along Josephine avenue west

that at least six residents have
signed an agreement to have tho
service installed in their homes.
