Ingenious Agatha Solves Milldale Water Quandary
In Milldale a water dispute pits Farmer Hawkins against town officials over a trough and pipe. Agatha Banks, the water commissioner’s daughter, studies gravity and nets a fix by digging a second spring-to-trough ditch with help from Hiram Hawkins. Water finally flows, Agatha earns praise, and the town funds a permanent pipeline to their yard.
