Decision Has Been Arrived al
BY President StaubaCh and
w. P. O'Neal of the Board
Of Works.
CITY ENGINEER WILL
PREPARE THE PLANS.
Whole System Will Be Devised
BY Him-Nothing Has Been
Heard From Other Public
Service Companies.

President George Staubach and ".
P. O'Neal of the board of public works
today stated that the city would take
the initiative in complying with the
terms of the Main street pole ordin-
ance, recently passed. Now that the
city officials have come 10 the conclu-
sion that the city is as much affected
by the ordinance as the public service
corporations it is thought that there
will be but little difficulty experienc-
ed in placing all wires on Main street
underground.
To Prepare Plans.
Members OF the board stated today
that City Engineer Fred Charles had
been instructed to prepare plans for a
Main street conduit system. As soon
as these plans are completed the
board will call meeting of the var
iouS public service corporations and
an effort will be made TO reach some
agreement in regards to placing Main
street wires underground.
Mr.. Charles will probably prepare
plans to have all wires placed in two
in one trench and separated by a
thick cement partition. All the high
tention wires could be placed in one
conduit and all low tention wires in
another. 1t is the plan to have tho
city and the Richmond Light, Heat &s
Power company Jointly build the con
duit where the high tension wires
| would be located. The expenses of
| placing the other conduit for low ten
sion wires would be met by the Cen
| trail Union Telephone company. The
Western Union Telegraph company
and the Postal Telegraph company.
Traction to Comply.
Today Superintendent Gordon of
| the local branch of the r. III. |. G, r..
| traction company was asked what ac-
tion that company would take i'm re-
CARDS TO complying with the terms of
| the Main street pole ordinance which
requires that the trolley wires shall be
attached to iron poles. Mr.. Gordon
stated that if the Central Union Tele-
! phone company went underground
and removed its wood poles from
| Main street it would be necessary for
the traction company TO place iron
poles. At the present time the trac-
ton company has its trolley wires on
Main street attached TO the Central
| Union poles.
Have Said Nothing.
| The board of public works has
heard nothing from the Central Union
| Telephone company and the two tele-
graph companies in regards TO what
action they will take in complying
with the terms of the ordinance. but
| it is thought that these corporations
will fall into line at the proper time.

Il don't think that the man who

Wayne county don't appreciate it.
They either don't want to get married
or they haven't enough nerve to pro

reached the conclusion that if the
young men of Wayne county postpone

hearts pop the question to them. race

be iminent." thus spoke County Clerk
Harry E. Penny today
Penny Disheartened.
During the month of February last
year twenty-nine marriage licenses
were issued by Mr.. Penny This last
February only eighteen licenses were
issued. So far this month Dan Cupid
has not claimed a victim in Wayne
county and his agent Clerk Penny, is,
consequently disheartened.
Prizes Suggested.
Il have been thinking whether it
would not be a good plan to issue pri,
zes to induce the young people of this
county-and the old people too as far
as that is concerned-to join in holy
wedlock. How would this scheme do?
Each month give to every couple who
applied for marriage license a ticket
on which a number would be stamped
At the end of the month the couple
holding the number which came near
est to the total number Of licenses
issued that month would receive a
complete bed room furniture set" said

For This Reason He Does Not
Think 1t Necessary to Name
The Men Who Are to Stand

The Rev J. o. Campbell, choice of the
cessOr to Congressman James E. Wat
son. has decided that the members OF
his party in this county are loyal
enough to him as to not make it neces-
sary for him to select his own dele

vention. Therefore the Rev. Mr.
Campbell only asks that when the va
riOus precinct meetings are held for the
purpose of electing delegates to this
convention, that these delegates be
pledged to give him their loyal and
whole-hearted support. Il have SO
many good friends in this county that

delegates to the congressional conven-
ton, so | have left this action to the
republican voters who attend the pre-
cinct meetings" states the Rev. Mr.
Campbell. He has issued the follow

In the Spring few years ago. when 20 young people
from the Sunday School went forward to the altar.
Mr. Bryan himself held the bowl from which the
aged minister who then presided baptized his boy
and girl Later, Sunday morning, just before the
boy went away to school, the gray haired old man
laid kindly hand on his shoulder and said in a
voice that choked with emotion boy, your fe's

a father you ought to make magnificent Christian

straight into the minister's own as he replied

trating the parable of Christ and the Rich Young
Man. 81 wanted the boy to have it," Mr. Bryan
said. 81 got it in Dresden"
AS he says it, there is note of love and
guidance in his voice that makes you feel he'd
be the finest sort of father could have.
There was boy away the other side of the
world awhile ago who felt that way From the
cherry groves of Japan he wrote to the man he

usual custom for aspiring youth to adopt

family of his own to provide for rather
limited income, did not feel that he could accept
the honor and wrote Yamachita to that effect. The

Did you oh reader, ever happen to hear
Pentecostal Hymn No. 3, "Pl Go Where You Want
Me to Coz" The first stanza is like this:
1t may not be the mountains height
Or over the stormy sea,
1t may not be at the battles front
My Lord will have need of me-
But if by STILL small voice He calls
To paths that do not know,
I'll answer, Dear Lord, with my hand in thine,
I'll go where you want to go.
And the chorus repeats
I'll go where you want me to go, Dear Lord,
Over mountain plain
I'll say what you want to say Dear Lord,
I'll be what you want me to be.
You should hear that sung by the farmers Of
Normal with Mr. Bryans clear baritone leading.
There's a ring to his voice and light in his eyes
that sings the away from his surroundings

relations with his friends and
neighbors. On a Sunday after
noon last Fall, going to Lin
coin, he drove two miles out of
his way to a little white house.
When they opened the door at
his ring, there stood Mr.. Bryan
on the porch with a bushel
basket of potatoes. They're

planned. Il thought maybe you
could use them" Then he
went on his way to the opera
house at Lincoln, where an
audience of three thousand peo-
pie waited to hear his famous
lecture, 1.-THE Prince of Peace"
On Mr.. Bryan's library
shelves are handsomely bound
books that are as freely at the
disposal of the little minister at
Normal as if they were his
own. He's a boy just out of
college, who could worship the
ground on which the Commoner
walks. No, it isn't because
Mr.. Bryan sends him a check.
It's because on Sunday morn
ings there's no more attentive
listener who "sits under his
preaching" And at the close,
when the congregation files out,
the man who is an orator on
whose words large cities have
hung, warmly presses the boy

is always there to hear il, if he
is at home. Though the mail
on his desk is elbow deep and

phone, at the ringing of the
church bell Mr.. Bryan goes to
worship.
