SILVER WEDDINGS.
They Had Their Origin In the Reign
of Hughes Capet.

They Had Their Origin In the Reign
Of Hughes Capet.
The fashion Of silver weddings dates
back to the reign Of Hughes Capet,
king Of France In 997.
Once as Hughes was arranging his
uncle's affairs he found on one Of the
estates servant who had grown gray
in the service Of his relative. He had
been such friend of his master that
he was almost looked upon as one of
the family.
On the farm with this old man was
also a serving woman who was as old
as he and also unmarried and who had
been the most devoted and hardwork-
ing of the women servants Of the kings
uncle When the king heard these
praises Of the two, he ordered them to
be brought before him and said to the
woman:
'Your service is great, greater than
this mans, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than a
man, and therefore will give you a
reward. At your age I know Of none
better than a dowry and husband

GETTING READY TO SELL.

Valley City, N. D., and Souderton, Pa,
Tired Of Their Electric Lighting
Plants.
Valley City, N. D.. has decided by a
vote of nearly thToa 70 @Ra q sell it's
electric light plant, every ward in the
city voting in favor Of the SALE In
explaining the cause Of this action a
local banker writes that, like most
such enterprises, the Valley City plant
'has become burden to the city" and
has been furnishing poor lights for the
past two years. For this reason and
because Of increasing prices many
have deserted the service.
The dissatisfaction with the service
has been growing a long time. Two
attempts were made to dispose OF it
three years ago. The first bids were re-
jected as being too low. The next bid,
accepted by the council, was not in
accordance with the specifications, and
another bidder secured an Injunction
restraining the sale. Many business
houses have installed private gasoline
lighting systems Of their own.
According to the Electrical World,
the town council of Souderton, Pa, Is
considering the proposition Of aban-
doning the borough electric light plant
and purchasing electricity to operate
the borough lighting system, the West
Telford Electric company having offer
ed to furnish electric energy at a low

Inc Crap Eatin9 Kaccoon and Pecul.
lar Crustacean Taste.
What made the crab eating raccoon
first take to his queer diet? The
question is suggested by specimen Of
this strange animal which has arrived
at the menagerie and will be happy to
oblige any generous visitor with an
illustration Of the quickest way to kill,
unshell and swallow crustacean with
out artificial assistance Of any kind.
Doubtless the popularity originated in
the shore frequenting habits Of the
species, and, being delicate feeder,
the succulence OF the crab, once crack
ed, was an obvious inducement to re-
new his acquaintance on every posi-
BILE occasion. Originally probably a
fruit eater, the raccoon Is tnquisitive
and dainty, both strong incentives to
experiments In diet. When an indl-
vtdual sees small object he does not
understand, his actions fall under
three headings. He first puts the
article to close scrutiny, both with his
eyes and that supercilious upturned
nose Of his; then he takes it away and
washes tt-a very characteristic action
OF this water loving animal-and final

ness Or otherwise. If it appears IN
palatable, he gives 1t to his wife. In
this way It is easy to imagine how the
creek loving coon, wearying Of too
much fruit, made his first crab supper
and, though he has never been able to
add q squeeze Of lemon or brown
bread and butter to the repast, has be-
come confirmed lover Of crustacea

Why Committee Reported Adversely.
An unfavorable report on municipal
ownership was made to the city council
of Kaukauna, Wis, by an aldermanic
committee that visited Bel1efontaine,
Columbus, Richmond, Reesevllle and
Evansville. Alderman Martin said the
lighting plant at Bellefontaine cost
s73, 900; that the city owes 1922 900
bonded debts and has tax rate Of 4
per cent. The city owns waterworks,
gas and electric lighting plants, con-
ducts extensive improvements and pays
Its public officials high salaries for
tending the plants.
Alderman Martin further says that In
other cities, In the effort to make a
good showing, plants are allowed to
run down until the amount they are
bonded for would not be covered by
the present value of the property.-Mu-
nicipa1 Journal and Engineer.

COVERING Up WastefuIness.

The present evil Of municipal ovn-
ership is the extravaganza Of political
management Of industries. This Is
generally masked by putting part of
the cost on the taxpayers by borrow
ing money on the credit Of the city or
spending it out OF the general rev.
enues. The ultimate and oppressive
evil of municipal ownership as illus
trated In the history Of British provin-
cial cities Is the steady progress to-
ward bankruptcy made by continually
increasing the city's debt to render all
kinds OF service to the public at con-
slant loss, continually made up by
taxation and borrowing till the city's
credit Is gone.-From an Editorial In
Minneapolis Tribune.

instance, never intended the osprey to

THESE CITIES AGAINST IT.
Municipal Ownership Turned Down In
Various Places

Municipal Ownership Turned Down In
Various Places.
The voters of Colorado City have re-
fused to sanction bond issue for a
municipal lighting plant.
The proposition to bond Willisville,
ILL.,, Tor an electric light plant was de-
feated at recent election.
The city council of South Sharon,
Pa, has decided not to issue bonds for
an electric light plant.
Lake Forest, H., voted down the
proposition to buy the works of the
Lake Forest Water company. The vote
stood 292 to 6s.
The Pittsburg (Kan.) Headlight states
that at recent election the PROPOSE
ton to bond the city for the purchase
Of the waterworks was defeated by
1856 to 1903.
| The Waterloo Ua) Reporter states
that Strawberry Point, in that state,
after employing experts to investigate
the matter has decided against a mu-
ntcipal light plant and in favor Of a
franchise
The final abandonment of municipal
ownership by Muncie Ind, is an as
sured fact. The mac6nery Of the cleo
trio light plant which broke down q
year ago after being in operation four
teen years, has been sold at fraction
Of its cost. The city had invested $780,
GOO IN the plant
Apparently the voters Of Bryan, O,
do not regard municipal ownership as
so much Of a success that they want
more of 1t, for they have defeated an
ordinance providing for bond issue
Of $4,000 for the improvement Of the
lighting and water plants. This illus
trates one Of the evil results OF the
system, for the money was needed to
equip the plants with new and more
economical machinery.
Van W. Welsh, village clerk Of Bev-
erly, O., writes as follows In response
to request for the reasons for the
sale by that village or Its electric light
plant: "Will say the greatest reason
for selling the plant was that the vii
lage could get no satisfactory service
from plant in the manner 1t was being
handled. The plant has been sold to
local parties with the hope Of getting
better service In the future"
Rutherford, N. T., has decided not to
go into the lighting business. This de-
cision was reached at public meeting
called by the mayor to act upon the re-
port of a committee Of citizens which
had been for year making thorough
investigation of the subject The re
port was unfavorable to the establish
ment Of either gas or an electric light
plant and stated that study Of the
subject showed that "there have been
more failures than successes" There
was no hostility to municipal owner
ship as theory, but grave doubt as
to its practicability.

The meeting today of the council
finance committee will be given over to
serious preliminary consideration of the
budget with hope of formulating re-
port before July 15, when, under the
charter, all advance estimates must have
been handed in by heads of departments.
These estimates are usually based on
past needs plus the natural growth OF
the work and are merely guide for the

figuring how large appropriations shall
be made for each branch OF the city gov
ernment.
The city's assessed valuation now
stands at S203, ,000,0 900.
For this year the total allowance, in
cluding interest and sinking fund, was
S2.S765I6.
On the first of the year the city treas
terday the balance stood al 81, ,646, 036.
Los Angeles has only a margin of $780,
900 remaining on which to incur a bonded

aqueduct issue nearly used up the amount
Of Indebtedness which the municipality
can legally assume. The only way to in
crease the margin is through the higher
assessment total made possible by rise
in values.
1t has been hoped to call special cleo
tlon to vote fire, bridge and sewer bonds
late in July as all of these Improvements
are sadly needed. Without an additional
fire protection the rates of insurance will

though at a sacrifice. Many residents are
clamoring for new bridges in different

skillful plotting to steer the city ship

SUMNER soLsTIcE

This is one of the two days in the
year when the sun is supposed to per-
form a trick that may have been taught
upon Gibeon; so the sun stood still in
the midst of heaven, and ha5tened not
to go down about a whole day."
Today occurs the summer solstice
(sun stand-stilD, 1.-The time at which
the sun is at it's greatest distance from
the equator, and when it's diurnal mo-
tion in declination ceases, which hap
pens about June 81, when it enters Can
Ger (the summer solstice), and about
December 90, when it enters Capricorn
(the winter solstice)."
The sun is bit capricious in it's sol
stitial habits, as it makes the summer
stop this year on June 20.
So this is the longest day in the year.
The sun rose this morning in South
ern California at 4:52 and it will set
this evening at 7:11. Tomorrow will be
one minute shorter, the sun rising at
4:53 and setting the same as today.
1t seems surprising that we have al
ready reached the longest day Of the
year and that the shortening process
will begin tomorrow. Here in Los An
geles we have had no warm weather
excepting a few samples that were
sandwiched between conditions appro-
pirate for March. One day this week
the mercury essayed the lofty act. man.
aging to climb to the 81 degree mark
but next day it fell back 6 degrees, as
if exhausted by the effort.
We now have reached the period
however, when summer weather may be
depended upon almost as certainly as
sunrise. The solstice marks the begin
ming of the astronomical summer. and
it gives formal notice to spring that nc
more lingering will be tolerated,
But the unusually cool weather that
has prevailed thus far during the sea-
son will make the "hot enough period
seem quite short this year. 1t will be
enjoyable, however, as the proximity OF
Los Angeles to the ocean and noun
tains, with wide varieties of temper
ature, makes the outing season pleasant
at all times.
Next week marks the closing of the
schools, next will introduce the ma
tional anniversary, and following that
will come the joyous days OF freedom
from work and worry that the outing
! lseason affords.
