Several cities are having telephone

test being waged between the city
council and the Cumberland COM
pany. Providence had squabble
with the Cumberland people about
this time last year in regard to the
city ordinance passed by the coun-
Gil, requiring them to pay license
of S100 a year. In Murray the
Cumberland and the Murray Tele-
phone Co., are in a squabble and a

In Mayfeld the druggists and doc

Now that summer time and dog
days" are just ahead, everybody
who summers" at home, is consid-
ering how to simplify things and get
the most comfort out of an uncom-
Portable situation.
We enterview the ice-man; order
him clothes; plan to ease up here
and relax there; but more than like
ly forget the one most important
item in the whole hot-weather
scheme-some means of doing the
family cooking without the insuffer-
able heat of coal fire in the kitch-
.en.
Everyone with experience knows
how tiresome it is to stay in stuffy
room to prepare a meal, let alone
the doing of a big baking. But ev-
eryone doesn't know how very easy
it is to change a hot kitchen to a
cool one, and do better cooking at
the same time. Just add to your
list of summer conveniences a New
Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil
Cook-Stove and you've done all that
any one can do to lessen hot wealth
er discomfort.
Wouldn't it be fine of a summer
morning to step in the kitchen, put
on the kettle, broil Che steak, bake
the mullins, filter the coffee and
give the breakfast call in one-fourth
the time you'd take to do it all on a
coal stove?
And wouldn't it be fine to be as
cool when the breakfast was pre-
pared as when you first entered the
kitchen?
People who have tried it say that
the New Perfection Oil Stove actual
ly does everything in the line of
cooking and domestic service with
out overheating the room or the
worker.
Undoubtedly the reason is to be
found in the blue flame principle on
which the stove works.
A cylindrical chimney concentrates
the heat at the stove top and in this
way prevents surface radiation as in
a coal or wood stove.
1t is easy TO see that this lessons
very much the matter of personal
discomfort in summer housekeeping.
SO don't forget the New Perfec-
tion Oil Stove in your summer plans
and you will have comfortable
kitchen and the best cook.stove in
the world.

WHAT GOV JOHNSON
Has Done, With a Hostile
Legislature.

Here is Democratic governor
in state sternly Republican. He is
confronted By a legislature that in
{ politics is overwhelmingly hostile to
~ All the rest of the state adj
stration is Republican; he is
alone. Yet through this hostile leg
islature and with these hostile col
leagues he contrives to pass more
radical laws than exist in any other
state, except the new-hedged Okla
homa. How does he achieve these
things?" Charles Edward Russell
asks this question in the April Eve
rybody's.
AS an example we may take the
two-cent fare bill. That was Gov
Johnson's personal property, that
idea. The Minnesota Editorial AS
sociation invited him to its annual
meeting, expecting him, think, to
make the usual address of fubdub
and platitude. Instead he exploded
the two cent bomb, and urged that
an end be put to the giving Of free
passes. Then he talked the same
doctrine to Commercial Travellers
Association. The legislature met,
and in his message (Which was col
lection of round shot) he asked for
law putting his ideas into force.
Then he had such law drawn up,
introduced, and finally passed.
He asked for law like the
Mueller Law of Illinois permitting
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties. He got it. He asked for a per-
manent tax commission. He got it.
He asked for a rational revision
.kf the law taxing mortgages. He
got it.
He desired to strike at the Cord
age Trust by so amending the exist
ing law that the product of the state
twine plant in the state penitentiary
might be sold anywhere instead of
only in Minnesota. He got the
u endment.
tHe took up the matter of insur-
ance, in which he had always been
greatly interested, for he was the
originator and chairman of the Con-
ference of State Governors at Chica-
go in 1905, from which came the
memorable recommendation of the
Committee of Fifteen He desired
to have the chief features of those
recommendations enacted in MINES
ota. So the legislature enacted
them.
4, He secured the establishment of
Ia free state labor employment bu-
reau; fought into good behavior a
powerful insurance company that
was going on badly, and (best of all
his endeavors) he succeeded in abol-
ishing in Minnesota that feudal
monstrosity, the Fellow-servant Act,
by which injured workingmen were
prevented from securing damages. "
