It was learned at the Porter Compeny office Wednesday that the Lake Osweya has been towed to Newport News by the Warb- ler, and will be placed on the; drydock for repairs.

And I was brought up in the country and have tried to prime a pump when the well was dry, and you can keep priming it till the cows come home and all you get is a wheeze and a gurgle. So that is the way I explained it. But Susie, talking about any country—I talking pumping money like they do in Wash. So I says, pouring water in a pump, when the well is dry, and pouring money in a gopher’s hole. like in Wash., it is no different And if you get back half what you put in, you are doing good. And Susie says, who is getting the money—and do you have to crawl into a gopher’s hole to get it? And I says, with the diet I am on, I could easy enough get into a gopher’s hole.
