The consumption of water in Denton
Is still very, heavy, the demand this
week being probably greater than ever,
according to the records at the munici-
pal water plant; Tne first three nays
of this week the consumption ran
above 550,000 gallons per day and one
day reached a total of 575,000 gallons
Thursday the demand was slightly
lower, when a little more than 400,000
gallons were used.
The use of water in Denton this sum-
mer has been unusually heavy, being
greater than any previous similar pe-
riod. For days at a time the consump-
tion has stood around 500.000 gallons i
day, but this week has made a new
record when it has been above 550,000.
The heavy demand has been woiking
the plant Io capacity, the pumps, run-
ning 42 hours per day a great
er par of the time. This has permitted
little time for repairs and it is said
that had it md been for the new gas
engine at-the plant it would have been
unable to meet the demand for water
th is. summer.

rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
' GROVE S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im-
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength-

ROUND ABOUT TOWN Young People of Baptist Church
to Go Over Top By Giving Play
Rev. F. Heisig retired, minister and
ex-pastor of the German Baptist church
of this city died at his home Thurs-
day night between eleven and twelve
o’clock after an illness which lasted
since Sunday. Some disturbance of the
bowels and stomach caused e'eath
which came rather unexpectedly al-
though is friends knew that the age!
mat! was dangerously sick;
Rev. Heisig was born in Germany
and would have been 85 years old had
he JiVed until the 19th day of next. Oc-
tober. He came to America shortly af-
ter the Givi! war and has been actively
engaged in the ministry since that time
with the exception of the past ten
years when he retired because of fail-
ing hearing. He is survived by his
wife who is very feeble and four sons-
Thomas Heisig, pastor of the German
Baptist church at Cuero. Charles and
Pau' Heisig of Beaumont and a son
whose name was dot learned, but who
is a physician in Houston.
Rev. Heisig came to Denton nineteen
years ago and was for nine years pas-
tor of the church of his denomination
at this place retiring as stated ten years
ago because of defective hearing.
It was announced at three o'clock
that the funeral services will be held
Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the
German Baptist Church on Bolivar
street.

Despite the predictions of the weath-
er man and without any apparent
gathering of the clouds a rain began
falling in Denton Thursday afternoon
about 3 o'clock and continued practi-
cally a’l the balance of th? afternoon.
The total precipitation in the down
was about one inch and in some di-
rections it was heavier than -here but
in other directions very little rain fell.
The rain reached only about a mile
nortn of the corporation and a short,
distance due west while Sauthwest
and east and northeast it was heavy.
There was very little rain at Garza and
Lewisville while Argyle reports a
heavy rain. McKinney reporter! a
heavy rain and Collinsville and Tioga
a very light shower. People coming
to town reported that trie rain west of
town toward Krum was very light and
the rain on the Pilot Point road w'-nl
only about a mile north of the C. 1. A.
Hail West of Town.
West of town there Was a terrific
haillabout the Claude Underwood place
and extended southward from the De-
catur road to Dry Fork. Mr. Under-
wood said some of the stones were as
large as he ever saw fall, and cotton
was considerably beaten up, put the
extent of the damage is problematical,
as it may come out all right.

“It rained ninety-seven hundredths
of an inch at my house," said John
Q*ain to Roundabout. "At W’iil Wood-
ward’s home IU rained one and three
hundredths of an ftich and he lives
only about a half mile north of me."
Mrs. Stanley Cowan of West OaK
Street donated two nice frying chick-
ens to the Red Cross store Friday and
w£ sold them for '11.25,”• said Joe L.
Blewett Friday. "We would be pleas-
ed tc receive chickens from others. We
will get a good price for them".
"The exemption board is sending out
the S. O’ S. call for help in writing,"
said Chairman J. W. Bailey to Rounda-
bout. “The government instructs us
to secure volunteers, to work during
rushes and a rush is no<v eji us and
will last until the 144 men ?<re made
ready to leave on July 25. We need
several men who can write for a few
hours every day and any man who
can help is urged to report at Itie head-
quarters of the board.”
“The Record-Chronicle has created a
false impression which I would like to
have changed." said W. R. Scott to
Roundabout. “You said 1 was ’of
Chicago' and I want you to know that,
I still have my home in Denton—the
best town in the United Stales. My
family and I are in Chicago only for
the summer and we shall come back to
Denton next fal1.’’ Mr. Scott told of
the Red Cross drive in Detroit and
characterized it as a most beautiful
sight, and also of the Fourth of July
parade in Chicago. He leaves tonight
for Chicago.
“We have asked the County Council
of Defense to mal;> exception to the i
rule of using only the English language
in public meetings in the case of our
church,’’ said Hev. \. Becker, pastor
of the German Baptist church of this
city. "Half of on.* membership ;s made
up of old people—people who have
lived in the country most of liieir ihes
and have not had intercourse with
Americans except in a business way
and have therefore a limited knowledge
of the English language. Wh’le they
are able to speak English suflicientlv
to transact business, they would get
very little out of a church service held
in English and for that reason we are
asking that we may continue to bold
our services in the German language
as we have done for years."
Senator George M. Hopkins, Fred H.
Minor and Roundabout enjoyed the
evening meal Thursday as guests of
Caulain Francis .of tne Gray Horse
troop. The ninety-odd men in the
company are being served their meals
at the Lee Schol building, prepared by
the company cooks, and they are being
well-fed, as the guests at their Thurs-
day supper will testify. The mmue
consisted of pork and beans, salmon
croquettes, bread,4 stewed prunes, can-
ned peaches, tea Ini coffie, well pre-
pared and appetizlngly,served. The best
bid the company was able to get on the
serving of six meals for the men was
S22-». but Supply Sergeant Elbert Hoop-
er reported that the grocery bill for
the entire six meals was only $55 an I
the total cost for the two days. Cap-
tain Francis said, will be not to exceed
$70, including the equipping of the
dining room. The troop apparently
enjoyed the nhvely of strict discipline,
even if some of them did break info
the guard house thru infractions of
discipline, most of them quite unwit-
f/ngly. x
