WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT !T7

Have you faith in your town-its pres
ent and it's future2
Do you want to SEQ Walhslla grow and
prosperp
Are you willing to lend your aid and
influence toward securing water and
lightsp
The people Of Walhalla will, in day
or 30, be asked to figure with representa-
tives of the water aud light people. Dur
ing the past week A. r. Balloon, of Phila-
<9elphia, representing Eastern capital,
was in Walhalla looking over the plans
for the erection and equipment of
the proposed water and light plant.
Mr.. Balcom is neither hot-air valve nor
spell binder, but he looks cold figures
squarely in the face and deals with facts
as they are. He asks no "money in ad-
vance to show good faith" on our part,
but he asks that the local promoters go
to work and secure from the citizens of
the town theii pledges for the amounts
of water and lights they will use. 1t is q
plain business proposition, and he is fac
ing it in business way. There is fixed
ness enterprise, and it is but natural
that A FAIR SHOWING OF REVENUE
should be asked for, and it is nothing but
right that it should be given.
The proposition now is up to the indi-
vidual citizen--it is up to YOU.
Look over your bills for kerosene,
count in your breakage of lamps and
lamp chimneys, make a reasonable allow
ance for the convenience of electric lights
in your home as compared with the pres
1ent lighting arrangements, and when you
are called on to mako your pledge of sup
port, be ready, when the electric light
figures are laid before you, to give an
Intelligent and definite answer. If you
are figuring for business house figure
literally for the lights, for it is where
the greater light is required that the
greater saving will come.
But the light part of the proposition is
only a small portion of the proposed deal.
Are you ready for water? When you
come to this part of the proposition BE
VERY LIBERAL. You can figure into
your calculation material reduction OF
insurance rates as well as great pro-
lection to your property.
Be ready to face the question-aud be
ready to give your town the benefit of
the doubt. You can well afford to pledge
yourself literally for both water and
lights, for it means the material develop
ment of Walhalla, increased business and
increased sources of revenue to the busi-
ness and working people of the commu-
nifty.
The company proposes to sell power as
we'll as furnish water and light. This
can be made to show a source Of consid-
cradle revenue If all the small industries
will subscribe for their power. This side
of the question will also be presented for
your consideration.
Be ready when you are called upon
and stand squarely for progress and tho
best interests of Walhalia.

The controversy between our State
Senator and Representative Werner has
begun to get into the papers. We have
seen the Record, and it looks to us like
they are each talking about something
that the other does not refer to. Show
us copy Of the original bill, gentlemen,
The above comes from Seneca Farm
and Factory. 1t seems to us good sug-
gestion, and one that might settle at once
a controversy that otherwise may draw
It's weary length over long months and
still leave these statesmen as wide or
wider apart than at the outset.

launched several weeks ago in our sister

makes good showing at its start. We
wish our new neghbor a full share of
success. We do not wish to pick a quar-
rel with our friends, yet we have COM
plant to lodge against them. So far we
have not received copy, and our judg-

which only by chance fell into our hands.
We are but "chance friends" so far. Let

money hid away in old tin cans, shot
bags and cocks would do the right thing,
they wonld bring it to the banks for de-
posit, and the above figures would be
materially increased.

A Handy Remedy for Burns.

have often heard women say that
they can never go near the kitchen
stove without getting burned, and no
doubt some of us, if not all of us, have
suffered many big as well as little
burns and scalds for the want Of some
simple remedy. OF course, we all
know that bicarbonate of soda or COM
mon baking soda is one. of the SIM
plest remedies, but even that does
not give immediate relief. Kerosene
is the easiest remedy to procure, and
is always handy in the kitchen, v
ing steps to the medicine chest when
one is in a hurry, and experience has
shown it as the most expedient.
Cover the burn or scald with the kerr
osene and repeat until the burning
sensation is gone. l have never
known any tenderness or soreness to
follow, or any trace of the burn to
be left wherever kerosene had been
used.-Pictorial Review.
