PERMITTED To
ADJUST RATES
RAILROAD COMMISSION GRANTS
TWO REQUESTS.
LARGE PATRONS FAVORED
Consumers of Much Service Held to
Be EstitIed to Better Rates, as
Their Service Costs less Than
That of Small consumer-Fran
ehise Surrendered.
Madison. Dec 4.


The state railroad commission yes
terday issued decisions authorizing
readtustments of electric light and
power rates in Pardeeville and Alma.
While the form of the decisions is
for authority to increase rates, In
fact the establishments are more near
~ reductions than increases OF
rates.
The Alma Electric Light company
Is allowed To abandon fat rate OF
s cents per kilowatt-hour and charge
10 cents per kiioSatt-hour, but large
discounts are to be given as follows:
Discount 10 per cent. on bills up 60
IS in one month; 20 per cent. on
bills between SIS and $40; 30 per
cent. between $40 and SIS: 40 per
cent. between SIS and $50. This
favors the large consumer and gets
the business more nearly in proper
ton to the cost OF service.
A somewhat similar change was
made for the Fox River Milling &
Power Co. at Pardeegille, which had
SNNA Shei 6AhS q u4A A3t0 VI ~ CSuIS
per hlowatt-hour and so cents per
l6candlepower lamp per month. The
company desired to charge from
1919 down TO cents according to
the quantity of service consumed.
The commission. after carefully inves-
tigating and calculating the cost os
the service, authorized the following
new rates. For 60 hours or less per
month, liz cents per kilowatt-hour;
sh cents per kiowatt-hour for so to
100 hours per month; 7is cents per
kilorgatthour for 100 to 125 hours per
month.
Surrenders Franchise.
The Menominee & Marinette Light
& Traction Co, surrendered its Mari
nette franchise to get an indeterml-
nate franchise under chapter 400 OF
the laws OF 1907.
Permission to Issue Bonds.
The Lake Superior Southern Ry.
Co, OF Wisconsin was granted per
mission to join with the corporation
OF the same name in Michigan aud
issue 100000 of joint bonds. with In
terest at S per cent, to run for 40

mails as well as other kinds of unde.
sirable small deer"
More Harm than Good.
Take it all around, however, natu-
ralists are agreed that the wasp does
more harm than good, and that there
fore its room is to be peferred to its
company. A large number of queens,
of course; escape he attention of their
would-be destroyers every spring, and
in some places no attempt at all is
made to destroy them, in which case
they set to work with small prelim-
mary nest in the summer and lay a
few eggs therein.
These eggs soon develop into grubs,
whichare fed by their devoted parents
with asiduous care and finally
Matched out in ordinary wasps. The
family then begins to establish the
nest proner, building it in tree or a
cavity ia the ground of that remark
able paperlike substance which they
work up with their mouths from the
bark of trees. The comb is made in
layers OF somewhat similar material
and herein the queen lays her eggs by
the hundred. Her first family feeds
the second onei and the latter as they
hatch out, assist in the work OF
rearing each. succeeding brood. And
so things 80 on merrily, unless the
nest is discovered, until the colony
may contain several thousand wasps.
But damp and chilly summer, as
already intimated. sadly interferes
with the endeayors of the mother
wasp. and in hundreds OF cases she
cannot even make a small beginning.
Numberless queens" themselves
have persisted this summer other than
by the agency of boys or beer, and
thousands of little embryo wasps
have died sadly in their cradles. For
which relief at least let us be truly
thankful to our much-abused summer.
