Home for Aged Women Adds Water Supply and Renovations
The artesian well, now 114 feet deep, supplies a large 1000 gallon tank on the second story for three days and feeds kitchens baths and wash rooms. A circulating heater distributes hot water, old piping is removed, and a simpler plan by Watson & Gannett improves reliability. Ground improvements include better lighting, a portable bread oven, and a planned playhouse. Costs exceed 1000. The grounds are well kept, cattle moved, and a new boundary line along the rear. Mrs Stetven oversees orderly discipline, and the Home reports flourishing conditions with many improvements. The list of 3% members of the graduating class in the Sam High School includes numerous named students from various grammars, with notes on where several are from and which schools they attended.

Kopak imports persist beyond war uses in mattresses and toys
Kopak fiber from the silk cotton tree, abundant in Java, remains popular for mattresses pillows and life preservers due to its lightness quick resiliency and buoyancy. Java supplies far more kopak than other sources with imports totaling millions of pounds in 1923. Kopak can be spun with cotton and German methods proved costly though explored.
