1--WE intend to make the service in
all of its branches the very hest that
we can give. Because we can get the
public's money Is no reason why we
should not deserve all We get, and we
are going to deserve it all and more
too" said Mr.. Warfleld of the Union
Utility Company this morning.
Among the things that are being
done to this end is the purchase OF
additional gas territory 10 Greene
county Mr.. Warfield has been over
in Greene for several days aud has
leased about 900 acres more than
the company has held. This will be
drilled Immediately so that the pro-
duction may be available for next win
ter. Starting at this date will enable
the company to meet every emergency
as it arises.
This territory is near that formerly
owned by the company on which the
best producing gas we'll which they
have is located.
The water station is also to receive
attention. An expert ON the subject
of water stations and reservoirs will
be secured as soon as he can be locat-
ed. He will thoroughly renovate the
present pumping station and bring it
to the highest possible state of effici-
ency. He will look after the tanks

cientiy Interesting to attract a

OF whom listen eagerly TO the evil
dence.
Tie encounter which caused the
warrants to be issued occurred out
in Stringtown, Saturday night.
Linden Rohr was returning from a
dance at Calvin Chips with Miss
Cinderella Jamison, when accord
ing TO the story, Pete DESCENDED on
Linden and smote him one in the
eve
Miss Cinderella Jamison, the
prosecuting witness, was on the

substantially as follows: They had
been at a dance at Calvin Chips.
About $3.50 she and Rohr leit the

Of his i'rieads, approached and asked
Rohr where he was going He ~
Piled that he was going to take Miss

For the month OF February, the
public schools made an average Of "a

ing the numerous cases of measles.
The highest per cent Of attendance
YES made in Miss Rightmire's room
which was 98.
Miss Charter and Miss Addie Cur
rey had no cases Of tardiness.
The crowded condi,ion of the
schools necessitated some readiust-
mems. Another year when the 4th
Ward building is completed 1t is ex-
pected that the schools will not be
subjected to so frequent promotions
and readjustments. The pupils are
much encouraged because the schools
have not been closed this year and the
best and most earnest work has been
accomplished under these favorable
circumstances.
The 18th room OF the public school,
Miss Anna SmiJh, teacher, has added
to its collection of Dutch art, a beau
tiful copy Of Nicholas Mass "Giye Us
This Day." The picture represents
an aged woman seated at her lonely
table, with hands reverently folded,
asking the Fathers blessing on the
frugal meal spread before her. The
picture Is one of rare tenderness and
beauty. The influence Of good PIC
lures upon the lives Of the school chill
dren can hardly be oyerestimated.
Yesterday, Dr. Warren handed to
Supt. Gallup handsome portrait of
the late Francis willard. 1t is the
gift Of Mrs. Virginia Warren to the
public school, and will be placed in a
room with pictures given by three
members OF the temperance society,
and henceforth, the room will be
Known as s.Frances Willard Room.
The gift is greatly appreciated by the
pupils and teachers OF the school.

Grafton has paved five miles OF
street, has installed first class
electric light plant and has improv-
ed its water plant without costing
the town q cent additional taxes.
Under former administrations there
were no improvements, $4,000 worth
of orders were issued with nothing
to show for what or why and all OF
the taxes and licenses collected were
dissipated with nothing to show for
it, The present administration
wants to be endorsed for its record
and it probably will be endorsed.
