City's Light and Water Supply

There has been considerable talk of
late ia regard to lighting the city all
night instead of shutting off at 12 o clock
as hetofore. The Electric Light com
pany have made proposition asking
for $500 additional per year for the in
creased service Mr.. White informed q
representative of the CENSOR that if
the city accepted their proposition, an
additional engin, and dynam, go4id be
put in and used for the increased service
The impression seems to have gone out
that the lights after - O'Clock would
be in operation only on Main street. but
the change would apply to the whole
city. The companys proposition for
the service as it is now and for furnish
ing the city's water supply for the next
three years for So, 700 per year, has not
yet been accepted by the council. The
matter was to have been settled at the
council meeting last evening, but owing
to bad weather ororum could not be
mustered and no nnsiness was done,
There has been somh Saik of submitting
the question of increased service to a
vote of the people at tne spring election,
We understand that this has not beer
defini itely settled.

How many parents know wha 5 cir
children are reading? Do you IS wv
Are you taking the pains you d TO
select good reading for your : rem?
Parents can do much to GUILTY., y tagse
for good literature in their chiios,a and
it is criminal to neglect them ia this re-
spect. 1t is not to be done oy arbitrarily
saying you shall or you shall not"
read this or that book. You must show
an interest in their reading. Converse
with your children about their books;
find out their tastes and what appeals to
them. Many parents do not talk enough
with their children. Thay play or romp
with them for halt an hour, then send
them off by themselves thinking their
duty done. They ara not willing to give
up enough of their own pursuits to
really become acquainted with their
children. Parents may dictate the read
ing and study Of child. but 1t win not
have the influence that closer personal
interest and understanding would give.
The character of the child is being
formed Independently of them.
The reading of child has much in
huence on his character. Parents should
know what the child is reading, talk it
over with him, lead the child to express
his own ideas, point out the fine things
In the book and teach him how TO Judge
Of it, BY finding the natural tastes Of
the child, he may be led to choose his
reading rightly. Nothing can be done
II you do not know your children Ap-
pealing to their reason, to their iudg-
ment, develops reason and Judgment In
them. If you show an interest in their
books, 1t increases their interest. See
that they have plenty of that which is
good and you will seldom be obliged TO
forbid the bad. If child unknowingly
gets q bad or unwholesome one, show
him how worthless it is. and give him
better. TIE trouble of children and bad {
reading ar.ses frequently from lack of
companionship between parents and

Hillsboro. IL this is true the w w. will
soon be a paying road, and what has long
been looked for by lumbermen The
freight on a carload of lumber to-day
costs about 500 The new road would
decrease the freight at least one-half.
and the choice of two roads to ship over
would give the officials Of the w. w a
chance to get better rates, and bring the
road into prominence, If General Mana

to extend the road, they will be doing a
work that cannot be estimated In behalf
of the Kickapoo Valley. We hope that
it is not only rumor, but facts.

find that it il costing them from s to 10

is not necessary for our common method
of handling stock, and nine chances out
of ten this high feeding will all be lost
when the change is made from the whole
milk to the factory or skimming station
and the animal refuses 10 take its meals
With the use of the farm separator, we
aim to feed the calf for about week on
the mothers milk, then gradually we
reduce this ration using little of the
separator milk instead thus gradually
diminishing the one and increasing the
other until the end of the second week
we are feeding only the separator milk
which is wholly void Of any butter fat.

instance for, it we have weak calf, as
